TRUST SHAREHOLDERS poratlon as remedies for trust i or .inclination to look in and business unrest A mass meeting of Charlotte cltl?^ ' zens tonight at the Selwyn hotel in the assembly hall will answer the question put to Charlotteans yesterday as to whethier they want a third great railroad system to enter the Queen City bringing with it the sure and in evitable result of greater prosperity and opportunity to the city. The meeting ifh called for 8:30 and Tiotthe least doubt exists in anybody's mind today that all the real bulldowi and makers of Chariotte will be there to indicate their desire for tiie entrance of the new road to the largest city, in the state. Whatever opinion the business men of Charlotte may entertain toward other chances for helping build a Greater Charlotte they are agreed that opportunity is khocking loudly at Charlotte’s door and from all indica tions of yesterday and today there will be a record attendance tonight. .As announced yesterday ex-Govemor Charles B. Aycock, as legal repreaen- tative of the Norfolk Southern way, Mr. E. Carl Duncan and Mr. A. W. White also representing that road are in the city and were in conference with leading citizens sounding them as to the possibllty of securing co operation, among Charlotte men lor bringing the new road to Charlotte. Today the gentlemen named above have been joined by former President X M. Barr, of the Seaboard Air Lta* rftilwfity. There has been much conferring of Charlotte caiptalists with one another all day and with the railroad officials named above. The main business of to.^ day was not of an official nature but was an informal conferring among the irailroad men and local business men. ! Under the guidance of President | Kuester, of the Greater Charlotte Ciub j and others a tour was made this morn- j Ing about the city to investigate suita-, ble sites for tracks, depots and other j things necessary to the entrance of a j great railway .system into this city, j The people of XJharlotte are not ask-' ed to float a bond Issue or any thing j of the kind. They are merely asked to provide the right of way inside the; city and to provide suitable sites for| a depot and necessary adjuncts. The Norfolk-Southern will provide its own right of way outside the city and the easy conditions on which the new line may be secured makes it practically certain that when the plan of campaign is laid before the mass meeting of Charlotte citizens tonight there will be a response on the part of local .inter ests sufficient to Insure the coming of the new trunk line. Charlotte business men displayed g;reat interest in the first announcement Chat a %iew devel- c^ment of railroads under way and now that opportunity is laid before them on such easy conditions there is a conviction amounting almost to a certainty, that the mass meeting will not adjourn tonight until tl^e details are complete, which will insure the ^trance of the new line into the Id Dusinesa uuicow. . - - - - any direction or^ towara mi Mr. Gary appeared voluntarily !;,.eference. to his re-election S By^Ass^ia^^ New York, Nov. 29.—Brokerage and the senate committee reference to 1 nrtrr»nr*iHon for a list of sharehold- steel or- ganizatifcm, it i# understood,' is seeking to leam the actual number of its share?^ holders in oyder to show that shares are not concentrated in the hands of "so-called interests” bnt are generally distributed over all the world.
