JUDGE DANIELS HAS PRAISE FORV VAGRANCY tAW While . sentencing a con vloied" negt-o to the county chain anh(4.;mOTjya' fo the -larceny o somdLclb'thig, Judge-. Daniels said that he was sur prised that' there were men before him charged with -and convicted of the larceny of clothing and food; "Are there no places where these negroes Lean find places to earn an " ' honest livelihood?" asked Judge Daniels. The response from those- sitting around the bar was that there were many places in the city that were in need ?of la borers. "Why 1 wouldn't have thought so, by what I see here, so many who steal and gamble and deal in whiskey. -It all goes to show that the vagrant law which we have on our statue books is the most wholesome law we, have..- I want again' to call the attention of the people of this city to the places of gambling, and the disorderly houses of the city, and also the; places where the loafing negroes can stand around. These are the kind of people who vio late the law and it is these people who are generally - before me. The com munity could - be helped by the rigid enforcement of the law for the gam bler, the idler, the thief. The vagran cy law is intended for more than the women of the disorderly houses; it is for the loafing, idle class of men who gamble and' steal- in this city. The rigid enforcement of this law will do much for the people of Charlotte." ;- ; ' : CHINESE WAY OF INVESTIGATING PEKING, Aug. ; 20.- The Chinese National Assembly, after a stormy meeting . yesterday resolved : by 53 votes against 11 to present a petition to President Yuan Shi Kai demanding a further explanation of the evidence on which General Chang Chen Wu and Gen.
