Continuing, the petitions state: 1--WE
not only think 1t fair that this business
shall be distributed among us. but We
also understand 1t to be the law that
such cars so impounded or wrecked
shall be taken to the nearest garage.
I'VE hope you will consider this
matter seriously and instruct mem
bers of the police force to comply with
the law" the complaint concluded.
Among the garage operators signing
the petition are: Oscar Gingell of

P. A. Sellers of College Park, James

II was recalled today by attorneys
that the late Chief Judge Digges once
instructed grand jury to investigate
the alleged towing racket" and that
subsequently ruling was made re-
quiring police to take impounded cars
to the nearest garage.
Chief Crowley would not comment
on the complaint until he has seen

W.P.A. MUSICIANS
REGAIN RESPECT
PIucked From bitches, They
Are Restored to Their
Profession.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April Ats the
human side Of the w. P. A. musicians
project which appeals to Guy Maier,
as might be expected in a concert
pianist who has spent so much time
making it possible for the very young,
and people past the student age, to
play the piano more easily.
Maier was drafted into the w. p.
A. set-up to supervise the States Of
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky. At present he is, he de-
clares, slightly mad from the ex-
perience, but enjoying it.
Much of the Joy comes from pluck
ing musicians out of bitches. and re-
storing them to self respect and their
profession.
People would understand much bet
ter what the w. P. A. Is up to-" he
says, "if they could see good violinist,
fingers swollen and stiff from push
ing a shovel. sigh with pleasure when
told he can 60 back to his instru-
ment
'Or a good clarinetist, for example,
lips cracked from pounding the streets
in sub-zero weather, who gets berth
in a w. P. A. concert orchestra. And
also gets a chance to keep up his
technique, which. after all, is his
stock in trade"

lens. Many of them come up at the
additions, at which 200 or more musi-
clans often are heard, graded, and
later assigned
One recent unit heard, says Maier
(whose eyes twinkle behind thick
glasses), was q Hungarian orchestra
complete with native instruments. It
is very popular in its Midwestem city.
But it had been thinned down from go
Hungarians to II, and no leader ap-
pointed.
The 4s disappointed ones logged
the directors steps day and night
F:nally one mustached gent with q
wild eye confronted him, and through
set and cleaning teeth acclaimed:
II. the best director in city. You
take me, or keel you now!"
He was taken.

Another of Maier's favorites is a
little soprano in Ohio, who sang him
the hottest torch songs. He asked her
for something more sentimental, kiss
Me Again. perhaps.
I'm sorry" she returned. Il don't
know any of them classics!"
Still another is a key-accordior
artist who plays amazingly well. The
second, third and fourth fingers on
his right hand have been amputated
And one of the best jobs of rehabili-
tation was q man, no longer young
who was literally taken out of q

but he couldn't sing because he hat

po,eioh Oct. 2S.-The outlook for

CaroIina is getting brighter all the

IN Of the people who are for Roose-
,.olt and Hoey will vote for them, ac-
oordire 10 Commissioner of Insurance
Dan c Boney.
There is no doubt about the situa-
.;or here in North Carolina, of course
since virtually every one who knows
sentiment in the State agrees that
10th Roosevelt and Mr.. Hoey will
carry the State by from 100000 up
wards. Boney said. There was some
aonbt for while as to whether the
democrats in the State would get out
ard vote as we'll in the election as
they did in the primary. But as a re-
sult Of the intensive campaigning and
organization work which has been
done the last six weeks or so, indi-
cations are that the Democratic vote
here in the State will be very heavy
probably larger than that cast in the
general election III 1907 Wlen ROOSG-
Welt was first elected.
The outlook in the nation as a
whole is also much better than it was
and Commissioner Boney is confident
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be reelected
though he does not expect a big ma
iority or a landslide and admits that
the popular vote will probably be
quite close
Il have recently been in several
other states, and stopped in Chicago,
indianapolis Pittsburgh, New York,
Philadelphia and several other large
cities and the contest between Roose-
welt and Landon in many of these
states is exceedingly close" Boney
said. Among those I came in con-
tact with in these other states, the
majority were for Landon, although
most of them agreed that the labor
Jig classes were almost solidly for
Roosevelt. AS result, am convinced
that President Roosevelt will carry
Illinois, Ohio Michigan, possibly In
diana and that he will carry Pennsyl-
vania. And while he will carry New
York City and most of the large cities
in New York, I feel that it is still
douctfu that he will DC able to carry
New York State, although I am hop

ments, said today. 1.-THE fact that the
leaders in both parties have Endorsed
the amendments and are urging the
people to vote for them and that most
of the civic and business leaders are
favorable to them is helping greatly.
The fact that more and more people
are thinking about and talking about
these amendments mean that they are
becoming better informed CONCERN
ing them, which we feel is an indica-
ton that a great many more people
are going to vote for their adoption

they will vote for them.
