pense would be about $450' and that

Mr. E. H. Freeman, a, member of the
State Fisheries Board, urged the ap
propriation and stated that he hoped
to have. : the Fish Hawk - remain in
North Carolina waters for a longer
period than one month, the original
time "for which she was assigned to
the Cape Fear, if it was possible to
do so. .
The resolution authorizing the ap
propriation points out that inasmuch
as it .will be to the public good to se
cure, the. interest and co-operation." of
the government in developing the fish
and inasmuch as it seems to be a pub
lic necessity to take some step to se
cure said co-operation, therefore, it Is
resolved by the Board that $100 Is ap
propriated to the end that "we may se
cure the interest of government offi
cials in said, undertaking and said
amount shall be spent in such-a man
ner as will most likely bring about the
desired results." L

. Mayor P, Q. Moore, Councilman W. J.
Bradshaw, L. M Bunting and W. F.
Jones, former, Councilman D.- N. Chad
wick and Superintendent of Streets
John J. Burlong, .who Were charged
with violations of the election . laws
in recent city elections, were found
hot guilty in Superior Court yesterday.
Only one of the cases', went ; to the
jury, this being that against Council
man Jones. Judge R. B. Peebles' after
hearing the evidence for the State in
D. N. Chadwick and ' Superintendent of
Streets Furlong ordered . a non-suit
which is equivalent to a verdict of not
guilty, after which Solicitor Lyon stat
ed that he would take a nol pros in
the cases against Mayor Moore and
Councilmen Bradshaw and . Bunting.
Following the trial ' of Councilman
Jones, who was acquitted" by a." jury,
Solicitor Lyon asked that the . entry - of
nolpros In the other cases be. changed
to "not guilty." : Former Councilman
Chadwick was indicted in two ,' cases
but in the second one Judge Peebles
ruled tha,t the allegation specified
nothing in violation of the law. ,
The cases which were continued
from the last term of court on account
of the illness of the State's star wit
ness, Rev. Isaac King, were set for ta
first thing at this term of court and
were called immediately after Judge
Peebles had charged the grand jury
yesterday morning. Solicitor Lyon an
nounced that he was ready for trial
and attorneys for the defendants stat
ed that they were prepared for triai
also.
Solicitor Homer Lyon was unassisted
in the prosecution for. the State while
appearing, for the defendants were Addison-
G. Ricaud, Marsden Bellamy,
Herbert McClammy, Iredell Meares, J.
O. . Carr, Wm. J. Bellamy and C. D.
Weeks, Esqs.
Cases Are Called.
The first case called was that against
Superintendent of Streets John J. Fur
long, who was alleged in a certain city
election ." in 1914, in which a franchise
was granted to the Carolina Beach &
Interurban Railroad -Company for - the
use of . certain streets in Wilmington,
while he was acting for and in behalf
of the Tidewater Power' Company, to
have given or offered money for the
unlawful purpose of securing their
votes, aid-or influence, specific 'men
tion being made of $20, alleged to have
been paid to Mr. J. B. Elklns, and of
$50 to Mr. Frank Harper.
The following jury was sworn in for
the trial of the cases: Messrs. B. K.
Merritt, C. P. B. Mahler, J. E. Robin
son, R. R. Hewett, W. J. Meredith, L.
M. LeGwinv Julius Weil, E. J. Hardison,
G. H. Hutaff, H. J. McRae, C. W. Pol
vogt, B. F. Glisson. .
Statute Printed Wrong.
Before beginning the trial, attorneys
for the defense pointed out that So
licitor Lyon in drawing up the indict
ments had failed to follow the statute
inasmuch as he had specified that the
defendants were alleged to have offer
ed office. In drawing up the indict
ments, Solicitor Lyon stated "he had
followed the act establishing a com
mission government in Wilmington, as
published in pamphlet forno, which he
had taken to be correct.
The act as. published in the booklet
stated that "It shall be unlawful for
any candidate for office or any officer
of the city, directly or Indirectly to
give or promise any person or persons
any office, position, employment ben
efit or anything of value for the pur
pose of influencing or obtaining their
political support, etc." However, the
section of the RSvisal reads that . it
shall be unlawful for any candidate or
any officer of the city "directly or indi
rectly to give or promise any'per'son or
persons in the office, positions, employ
ment, benefit, etc." The changing of
the words "in the" to "any" in the
pamphlet makes the meaning of the
section quite different. j
Witnesses Are Examined.
Mr. J. J. Loughlin, who was interest
ed in the franchise election, was the.
first witness called by the State but
knew nothing of any money having
been paid so far as his own knowledge
went. The State sought to bring out
testimony relative to t. other persons
than Messrs. Elkins and Harper, but
the defense objected on the ground
that the trial should be confined to the
persons specified in the bill of particu
lars. . Mr.. J- B. Elkins testified that he had
carried around a petition to secure
names of persons opposed to granting
the franchise and that afterwards he
had been given $20 by Mr. Furlong. He
was not asked to use his Influence in
the election in return for the money
given him, he said, but. had under
stood that.it was given him for getting
up the petition. He admitted having
been around the polls on. the day of
the election ;and said that ?he did get
two or three persons to vote," who were
opposed to granting the franchise. .
: Mr. Frank Harper denied-emphatically
that Mr. Furlong had ever given
him $50 and stated that he was work
ing, for the Tidewater Power Company
before Mr. Furlong was. . He had talk
ed with, several persons, who favored
the franchise, and jestingly' had said
that he was going to wortc against the
franchise and that he would get $50
for it. He had received no money, he
said, for doing any work except for
what he had done in . getting up the
petition with the names of those op
posing the granting 'of the. franchise
- Mr. W, P. Smith was called by the
State but stated that he kenw.nthins
except what he had heard.
s The - defense then asked for a -nonsuit
when Solicitor Lyon stated. -that
the. State would rest and Judge Pee
bles granted th motion. . . ; -
- Paid to Distribute Cards.
' The next case" called was that
against -former Councilman D. N.
Chadwick, who - was- alleged to have
given $lfr to Rev. Isaac King and $5
a day to Mr. Ev A. Capps. . ' -
"He gave 'me - $10 for distributing
liis cards -in the-' Fifth ward," said Rev.
Mr. King when he was - put . on the
stand, "I.-worked for five days be
tween the primary - and the election."
. Mr King wanted to 'preface" his
testimony ' with , ah - explanation, but
Judge Peebles- in rather emphatic lan
guage? told the. minister that "he would
have to confine his remarks to the evi-.
dence" In the case. Mr..King then told
of having gone to. the office of Council
man Jones and 'having-met-there Mr.

quent words called on the members to

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Councilman at Work on Tax Ordinance
for Ensuing Fiscal. Year.
The Finance Committee of the City
Council was in session some time at
the City Hall last evening, considering
in an informal way the tax ordinance
to be adopted soon, effective on. the 1st
of June, the beginning of the new fis
cal year. There were present Chair
man McCaig, Councilman Hall, Mayor
Moore, composing the committee; City
Attorney Robert Ruark, City Treasur
er Meares and Tax Collector Walter
Blair.
Some time was spent in going over
the ordinance generally, examining the
various sections and getting at the de
tails for definite recommendations as
soon as the budget for the ensuing fis
cal year's expenses is in hand. It is
understood that the ordinance is being
prepared earlier this year than in pre
vious years so as to give the council
an opportunity to present certain mat
ters in connection therewith at the
primaries to be held in June for ap
proval of the voters in the event it is
decided to do so.

The first essential of a suit is personal becomingness. Style
loveliness is undoubtedly the chief element of satisfaction.
Our assortment of splendid suits for Summer wear is so large
and so carefully selected that you'll have no difficulty in find
ing here an individually becoming model. Styles are the new
est and most correct, and quality is of the highest.
Prices are remarkably moderate- due to the fact that we
mark these suits on the honest basis of their actual value in-
stead of the "How much will it bring? " policy of other stores.
