Mr. J. G. McConnick, of this city, a
member of the advisory 'board of the
Just Freight Rate Association of orth
Carolina, has received from ' Mr. J. C.
Forester, or Ureensboro, ,a copy of
the plan prepared by hint suggesting
a means for the permanent mainten
ance of the organization. v President
Fred N. Tate, of the association, has
called a meeting of the .advisory, board
to be held in Greensboro Tuesday of
next week, at which some plan will be
adopted for placing the organization
on a permanent basis.' - ? x . J ,
The meeting was to have been held
Wednesday of this -week, but was post
poned because there were a number of
the members of the board who found
that they could not' get away at that
time. In view of the deep interest in
Wilmington, in the rate question, the
plan of organization as suggested by
Mr. Forester, is given below: ,
"Object The object of the associa
tion shall be to represent its mem
bers with respect to freight rates 1 on
any commodity to and from. any. terri
tory, to advise members the legal rates
and most advantageous routes on their
traffic, to check their freight payments
to see that more than the .legal rates
are not collected, and, in cases where
illegal rates are collected , to arrange
for appropriate refunds, to advise how
to pack and describe shipments, in or
der to secure-"the most advantageous
rates, to trace delayed, shipments to
study various rate adjustments" 'affect
ing members, keep them advised; of
discriminations that may exist, to ar
range as nearly , as. possihle-forj. equit
able, non-discriminatory rates,-' either
through negotiations direct," with--the
railroads or other common "oarriers; or
appeal to State or ' Federal tribunalSi
to aid such tribunals in any effort they
make in the interest of members and
bring pressure to bear Which will ; in?
sure their? active interest in any cases
where they seem to.'be jndifferent. to
create an organization which 'will con
stantly match the energy and techni
cal knowledge that the interests of our
State may not suffer by default, and
provide a' medium through which our
people may. malce: their influence felt
with respect to legislation and Its en
forcement, so far as it pertains to
ireight rates. .
"Membership Any person, firm, cor
poration or commercial organization
doing business in North Carolina; is
eligible to membership. Memberships
shall be divided into two classes ser
vice and non-service. Service mem
berships to receive such service as is
usually performed by traffic depart
ments of individual business, concerns,
non-service members - to . be kept ad
vised of rute adjustments of a general
nature, that they may know to what
extent the comjmercial ""development
of our State is being hampered by un
just freight rates. - " .
"Dues -Service membership dues
shall.be $2 per month, payable, quar
terly in advance, which shall entitle
members to competent analysis and
d vice respecting their- freight rate
problems, and proper presentation of
complaints before State and Federal
tribunals; "but .not -traveling: or -other
extraordinary expenses Involved in
cases in "which but one. or a very few
members are interested. The board of
directors sbtoll decide1 when cases are
of sufficient general interest to have
such extraordinary expense borne by
the association. Further, of any
amount collected from common car
riers through the agency of the asso
ciation for service vjnembersAO jer
cent, shall ' be pard to the association
as compensation for..this. specific serv-
"Non-service meriitters- dues --shall
be $5 per annum, payable in advance,

The foregoing - plan f is outlined : by
Mr. Forester in order tnat tne mew
horc of the n d visor v board might have
a concrete proposition . td consider
when the meeting is. held: Discuss
ing the plan in a letter to Mr. Mccor
mick, Mr. - Forester says :- , A c r
"The idea I tad in mind In drawing
up the plan was by combining the in
terested people throughout the Shite
in a properly equipped organization,
we could with minimum expense to

"The first step, as I view it. should
be to properly . circularize tlje State,
followed bv a -canvass by a trained
traffic man. who would-: be properly
equipped to explain, in details the ben
efits to flow from the creation of such
an association, and to solicit member

the work in which he is so keenly
interested and in which he has given
the ' better part of his life, Adjutant
Mataxas, in charge of the local post
ofi the Salvation Army, returned yes
terday morning from a ten-days' stay
in . New. York, where he attended the
Officers' Cdngf ess" of the Salvation
The meeting, said Adjutant Mataxas,
was one of the biggest ever held In
this, country . by . the Salvation . Army
ana was an Inspiration to all the offi-v
cera attending from different parts
of; the country. -
; bunday x was a big day and two pub
lic meetings were held, one at the
Lyric Theatre and other at Carnegie
Hall. These were attended by sev
eral thousand people. About thirtv
men, prominent in New York and na
tionally, occupied places on theplat-
iorm, among tnem being Dr. Park
hurts, Dr. Cadman, . John Wana
maker, and others. At. one of the
meetings Sunday General Booth was
introduced to the gathering by District
Attorney. Whitman. General Booth
spoKe on v lessens From My Father's
Life", and made a most interesting
address.
General Booth announced to the offi
cers a plan for broadening the work
of the -organization.- It is planned to
open boarding houses- throughout the
country for girls who are working on
moderate- salaries; These - places will
be made real homes, taking the place
as nearly as possible the home that
the girls leave upon entering the field
rof . endeavor to earn their livelihood.
They will be of particular benefit in
the . larger cities. - When these homes
are established it will not be "neces
sary as it is in. a great many cases now
for the girls to go to the dance halls
in - order to entertain their . friends.
They will, be allowed this privilege in
the home. As stated, it will in every
way be as nearly like the real : home
as it is possible to make it. Matrons
will be in charge of a certain number
of girls. It is planned to establish
this new. feature of the lwork in the
United States just as soon as possible.
It was announced at the meeting
that the Salvation Army will open a
new settlement for lepers in India, ac
commodating 1,000. At present : the

pany tnat tms team cannot anora

The Giants are very formidable op
ponents of any team they meet as
shown by their last two games and
they will work hard to defeat the Ea
gles tonight. The Kagies, on tne otn
er hand,- have improved to such an
extent :that they cannot be defeated

Many friends in the city and else
where in the State will be deeply griev
ed to learn of the deatbof Mr. S- H.
Burtt, one of Wilmington's well
known and highly respected citizens,
who passed away suddenly at. his
home in the Carolina Apartments last
night at 11:30 o'clock. Mr. Burtt had
spent the day ' with his family and . was
apparently as well as usual. He was
preparing to retire and went to the
battf robin to get a drink of water.
Just as he returned to the bed room
he felllaeross the bed in a faint as Mrs.
Burtt thought. When she called to
him, and he did not respond she called
to some "of her neighbors.' Dr. B . J .
Willihgham - was summoned at once
but life was gone before he reached
the home. Death was due to heart trou
ble. ; ,,: ...
Besides his wife he leaves an aged
mother, Mrs. Catherine Burtt, who has
lived with him for many years, and
one daughter, Mrs. Gustav Hagedorn,
of Raleigh. They will have the tender
sympathy of a host of friends in their
bereavement.
Mr. Burtt was born in Wilmington
in 1850, ..and was; therefore, 63 years
old. He lived in this city all his life
with the exception of the time that he
was away at school. He was educat
ed in the public schools of this city
and at- Wake Forest College. He en
gaged in business in his early young
manhood and at the time of his death
was bookkeeper for Einstein Bros. He
was for many years with the Standard
Oil-Company. After leaving this com
pany he was for a long-time with
Samuel Bear, Sr., & Sons. For several
years he had been with Einstein Bros.
- At the age of 16 he joined the First
Baptist church of which he remained
a-loyal and faithful member until his
death;-.. For -.a number of years he had
been a deacon in that church. ' V .
"k He was a- man who was ' devotely
attached to his family "and J intensely
interested m everything that vmade
for the uplift of mankind. He believ
ed thoroughly in his church and took
a prominent part in advancing its: in
terests. In public matters he always
felt a deep concern and did much to
wards furthering . the general im
provement "of the moral conditions r of
the community. His death is a dis
tinct loss to the city 'in which he had
nyed so long. -The
funeral will be held tomorrow.
at tan hour to be announced later.

" Thanksgiving was generally observ
ed yesterday by the people of Wilming
ton, services being held in practically
all the churches of the city while bus
iness was. almost entirely suspended
Some of the stores were open during
the morning but .by noon the down
town district had taken on a Sunday
air, and only here and there could be
found a group of "men. ; discussing cur
rent topics or calling to mind memo
ries of other. Thanksgivings in ; the
days of long ago. "
The weather was ' in marked con
trast .; to rjhat of. last .Thanksgiving
when this:! section was visited by its
first snow of the season. There was
a lightly clouded sky which made the
sun shine with a. vague dimness that
was almost uncanny . The tempera
ture was just right to make it pleas
ant without a fire : both indoors and
outdoors for the 'greater part of the
day. Last night there was enough
chill in the air to make a cozy fire
most pleasant, and many happy famil
ies gathered around the fire sides in
comfortable homes to recount the ex
periences of the day. The weather
man dealt kindly indeed with this sec
tion, making it an ideal day for what
ever pleasure that the busy man of af
fairs migh wish to indulge in.
Many of : the churches had services
yesterday morning while others waited
until last night. Collections were tak
en for the' various orphan homes in
this and other States, and the mem
bers of the differentia congregations
with their -accustomed generosity con
tributed liberally to the-, fund for help
ing poor helpless children.
- No Thanksgiving is-j considered com
plete without a dinner-in. which turkey
and cranberry sauce has a prominent
place onf the bill of ( fare. Turkeys
were not sold here ia large quanti
ties and there were many homes that
had chieken insteadaSBut the best
thing about-the dinner' after all was
the opportunity to gather the family
and friends about the table for a short
season of good cheer. , Many remem
bered the poor people of the city and
sent out baskets , filled , with good
things to eat, and were thus made
happy by -having helped others to be
nappy. - - .
In the afternoon many found amuse
ment and recreation in the moving pic
ture shows while a large number went
to the Academy of Music to see Nor
man Hackett in ' -A Double Deceiver."
Quite a number went to the country to
spend the day in "the fields and woods
in close communion ; with dame na
ture. A large number? spent the day
in hunting while others went fishing,
r Fifty baskets .well filled with good
things, to oat-were distributed by the
local post of the Salvation Army Wed
nesday. and tyesterday?c . in addition,
the Army " g&ve out about 20 pairs of
shoes and 1 over 200 garments of dif
ferent kinds. ; These donations to the
poor were made -possible only by the
generous response of the public to
the appeal for aid issued by Adjutant
and Mrs. Mataxas who are in charge
of the work this joitjv antfc they. de:
sire to return to tne donors tneir
most sincere thanks lor the assistance.
In speaking last night of . the distribu
tion of the baskets, Mrs. Mataxas said
tVt she" first delivered baskets to the
old ladies, of whom there are a goodly
number m . Wilmington lwnose only
Thanksgiving icomes to them through
the Salvation,. Army. It gave Mrs.
Mataxas, whose heart Is deep m .her
most' noble Work, great pleasure to
see the joy ;t gave the recipients of
these baskets.' -'
The Salvation Army is already plan
ning ior baskets and other gifts to the
poor of the city at Christmastide, and
the public as usual will respond most
generously.
The prisoners on the county roads
were not forgotten. By order of the
Commissioners, the convicts were giv
en a holiday, and they were allowed
by the men in charge to devote the
day to ' recreation, letter-writing and
anything else tnat suited them that
did not conflict with the necessary re
straint thut must be maintained at
all times. Special dinners , were pro
vided, and the prisoners fared as well
as they could : under thetjircumstances.
At the Federal Point camp" many of
the people- living in theA,neighborhood
sent provisions fruits, etc., to the con

THE SCHUMANN QUINTETTE.
The Next. Number in Boys' Brigade
Lyceum Course December 4th.
: The second number of the Boys'
Brigade Lyceum Course -will be pre
sented Tnursday nignt. December 4th.
The entertainers will be the Schumann
Quintette. This is -composed of
Messrs. Carl A. Lampert, leader and
first violin; Norman Weiler, second
violin; t Nicolai Zedeler, cello, and
Misses , Jeanette Phillips Lampert,
pianist, and Miriam Zedeler, .organist.
- This promises to be a" very pleasing
number as the Schumann Quintette
brings to the lyceum a genuinely new
Idea, that of presenting - "symphonic
concerts" with a company of five mu
sicians, each an artist. To secure this
symphonic effect a specially-constructed
organ is carried. This gives all
the reed and wind effects of a large
orchestra and, when combined with
the piano and string instruments, pro
duces an effect as surprising as it is
unique. Every number of the pro
gramme, while played by a compaify
of first-class musicians, is of. a; tune-
ful nature, which is so seldom- the
case when programmes are presented
by this class of musician. Technique
