LODGING SHORTAGE (ASK INTRASTATE REDUCES DIVORCES Situation Causes Many Unusual Incidents In Life of V Parisians ' iARIS, Nov; 19. The great difficulty in finding, lodgings n Paris has been the cause of many unusual incidents recently. v . Divorced persons seeking- separate apartments are having such difficulty In finding thern that in one case at least they compo'sed their temperamen tal differences In order to keep their . old apartment. ' ' A painter and his wife who had been divotced by mutual agreement were both looking . for aprtments. Fre quently their paths crossed In their arch for quarters. The first time they met they bowed gravely but politely. Their mutual smile gradually broaden ed as the hunt for flats narrowed down to a few hovels in the slum section. "Let's kiss and make up and go back to our flat," the wife finally said; and they did. ' President Millerand, -who recently took possession of the Elysee Palace, received 41 applications for his apart ment on the A-venue de Villars. x Henry Landruy who-has been in JL-a Sante prison for the past 20 months awaiting trial on charges growing out of the -disaPDearnce of 11 women, re cently was dispossessed from the flatj that he had occupied on tne uouievara Rochechouart ,a rather sordid section of Paris. Requests came from every quarter of Paris, sove even from aris tocrat Auteuil, asking that the fiat be reserved. A vagrant Just finishing 30 days In La Sante prison told his cellmate un der sentence of five years for swin dling, that he dreadedto return into cold, dreary Paris. He, was homeless, prospects of spending the winter nights under Paris bridges did not appeal to him. The prisoners exchanged cloth ing and cards of identity and when the warder called for the vagrant to send him out Into the cold world, the swin dler responded. The fraud was discov ered only when the swindler's lawyer called at the. jail. SAYS GERMAN INDUSTRIES ARE AGAIN HUMMING Tar Heel Soldier Back From Rhine Reviews Headway KINSTON, Nov. 19. There are many signs of an Industrial awakening in Germany, , according to First Sergaant Milton Pugh, back from the. Rhine, where he has been with "the watch" the last two years. The factories are resuming operations. and the masses of the people are determined to overcome their handicaps and put the nation on Its feet, again. The occasional fighting outside of the occupied area cuts little Ice with the majority of the Germans. Pugh saw the last outbreak at Dussel dorf, where "aibunch of civilians" shot at one another, in the streets. Having: met a f rauleln f rom , Dusseldorf at Co logne, where he had been on leave from Coblenz, he "saw -her home" on the boat and landed in -the midst of the ' - 3hodtJng party,, - ; , . The American. army, Jn Germany is in fine condition, Pugh declares. The soKt diers are getting along well with the civilians, ine is aoout as pleasant as i j i ji - : .1 m v. i ..j it a the troops and seem to have utmost confidence in them, while the Ameri ' cans' espect the Germans for their courtesy and hospitable manners. At Coblenz Pugh served with a company guarding property and a branch of the Infantry service. Formerly he held the same rank in the military police. After years in the army Pugh Is con vinced that the "national guard stop ped the war. It may sound odd to' some ears, but when that bunch went In with little fuss and music and took over a share, of the front Mne, the turning point of the war had come. The- regu lars wouldn't give them creditor what they were and what they knew. - As a matter of fact te malorlty of the first class combat divisi'ns ?f tha army In .1918 were from the guard. I've sen . "some good soldiers with the regulars since the armistice, butthe best boI diers I have .seen were the American contingent with Rawllnson's British army. The guardsmen had the snap and everything else upon on that front." Occasioally German soldiers are seen In the occupied area, according 40 Pugh, on some business or other. They .. have their old-time pomp and prim .' ness. The majority of those now In uniform have the same snap as before the war wore down their" fighting ma . chine. Their officers, "handsome big rellows," are autocratic and "wont look t an ordinary man." The lithe, -careless American of the army of occupa tion can stand a .little more work and punishment, however, Pugh believes. RATES BE RAISED Roads Want North Carolina to Comply With Federal Order Fixing Fares ; (Special to The Star) RALEIGH, Nov. 19. The railroads are not only losing the six-tenths cent per mile on all intra-staje passenger business done in North Carolina, but they are also losing a great deal of money caused by interstate passenger buying tickets to the state line at 3 cents and then purchasing tickets for the remainder of their trip, according to General Passenger Agent H. F. Cary of the Southern railroad, who testified before Examiner Thomas P. Healey of tne Interstate commerce commission today. The examiner was sent from Washington tQ.h?r the petition of he carriers to overrule the maximum fare of 3 cents fixed by statute in Korth Carolina. . Practically all of the larger roads operating lines in the state were rep resented by attorneys and passenger agents. Among those here for the) hearing were P. ' D. Wilcox for the general attorney; W. C. Saunders, gen eral passenger agent, and f Brttce Vaughan, assistant comptroller of the Norfolk ,and Western; Charles J. Rlsey and Frank W. Kwathney, attorneys for the allied carriers; C. B. Ryan, passen ger traffic manager of the Seaboard; W. J. Craig, passenger traffic manager of the" Coast Line Accountant .Gore of the Southern; J.. C. Nelmes, general auditor, and J. F. Dalton, general pas senger agent of the Norfolk Southern. Mr. Cary supplied the main part of the testimony for the carriers. Hei said all the state commissioners had already placed in effect the Increases in passenger fares except North and South Carolina anu Louisiana. The re sult was that the other states ,ln the country were being discriminated against because of the lower passenger rates cnarged the people of these states because of statutes which fix a maximum fare. Mr. Cary said the Southern railroad runs a numb of . through trains across the state of North Carolina, but the same conveniences the inter state passenger gets for six-tenths of a cent per mile less than the other passengers are belng charged. The custom of buying tickets to the state line and then buying' another ticket for the remainder of the trip is grow ing in those states which have not yet adjusted their passenger fare schedule, declared Mr, Cary. TO CALL OFFICIALS IN SHIPPING PROBE Former and Present Executives Asked to Shed Light On Board's7 Affairs JACKSON BOARD MAY n ELIMINATE INDIAN VOTE Action Might Settle Republican Democratic Quarrel (Special to The Star) ASHEVILLI2, Nov. 19. Jackson county board of o.nvassers met this afternoon in the Buncombe court house to determine the results of the Novem ber election, having been driven from kSylya the afternoon before by the fear that riot and bloodshed would result if the members followed their Judg ment to throw; out the Indian vote, or reject the. returns of certain precincts whose effect would be to wipe out the majorities ranging from 70 to 200 ap pearing on the face returns in favor of the Republican candidates, and award the county officers to the Demo cratic candidates. But no sign of trouble which filled thoughtful men of Jackson county with great apprehen sion snowed as the canvassers met today. Everything seemed fair and the tone of the proceedings Judicial. Yet the outer aspect was no better than it had been the day before at Sylva when, after a motion had been put to elimi nate the Indian vote (practically all Republican) there was almost the still ness of death in a court room Jammed '.with hostile parties. Nothing sug gested the mob spirit November 4, which- drove Attorney J. W. Haynes, Democrat, from Sylva. The j-esult of today's investigation of challenged votes was to eliminate the Democratic and Republican votes in Dillsboro precincts and two Repub lican votes in Barkers Creek precincts. . It is possible that the Judgment of the board will be to reject the Indian votes. NEW YORK, Nov) 19.
