Home Savings Bank Has Prosperous Year Officers Submit Good Reports , ; at the Annual Meeting Splendid reports of the year's busi ness were made by the officers of the Home Savings' bank at the annual meeting of the stockholders of this or ganization, held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the bank on Front and Chestnut streets. All . officers and members of the board of directors were re-elected . to serve during the ensuing year. ilLt . Jesse- r. itoacn, casuier, suuimiwu ll! 1 his annual report showing that the in I Hi I stitution did an excellent business dur 1 i-h I Ine the twelve months of 1920. The deposits were shown to have Increased substantially, as well as the number ;j of depositors. The cashier announced that the . stockholders were paid b per cent on their investments, and besides 'it this several thousand dollars were put The negro prisoners in the county jail here have established a "Kangaroo Kourt." and they are gaining consider able fun and some good out of TTiis ludicrous ' institution, which has or dained that every entrant to the county jail must now pay a fine of f,2 for "breaking in the New Hanover county jail and disturbinr the pefce and dignity of the inmates." While on a tour of inspection of the jail yesterday afternoon, Jailor John H. Davis informed a representative of The Star of the queer manipulations of this peculiar court, and said that the tri bunal had already had a good effect on the morale .of the prisoners, in that one of ' the orders of the court was "cleanliness of body and cell." The court is operated entirely by the negro prisoners, for the negro prisoners and against every negro who might work himself into jail. Mr. Davis pointed' out the "recorder," who, by virtue of his preponderating physical strength over the rest of the negroes, is Lee Mack; he next called for the prosecuting attorney, who is "Tennessee" Phillip, who also has physical power to back up his oratori cal persuasion. Larney Williams, an other black giant, acts as sheriff. They are the biggest men in the pen, great big men. On being pointed out by Mr. Davis, each, in his turn, grinned through the bars and displayed laugh ing faces that showed two rows of ivories and a pair of shiny eyes. If a newcomer to the Jail refuses to pay the 2 fine imposed on him by the "kourt," he ' is ostracised by the other prisoners, who force him -to mop up the floors and, until he has labored in lieu of the fine, he is not allowed to talk with any of the prisoners, or to "bum" cigarettes from them. If ne falls to take a bath when necessary, his fellow prisoners are ordered by the "kourt" to treat him with the utmost contempt. "Law and order must be maintained at all times in jail," the "kourt kommands." The "kourt" also "kommands" th3t every prisoner, immediately after aris ing, must make up his bunk and clean out his cell and make himself pre sentable for breakfast; otherwise, he is tried immediately after the-first meal of the day. , Jailor Davis has given his approval to the operation of the "kangaroo kourt." William Foland, white, a suspected I. W. W. and also charged with having set fire to the barge Northwestern, instituted the "kourt" for the negroes. However, the negroes, themselves, conduct the court. The money derived from the fines is placed into a fund for the Purchase of cigarettes, tobacco,-and other "jail necessities." as one of them said. The negro prisoners are confined In a large cell on the second floor, and they occupy individual cells within the larger confine. : OAKDALE LOT OWNERS IN ANNUAL MEETING Reports Are Made and Di rectorate Elected "i i Into the surplus fund of the bank.

Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast, Line railroads, are' much' interested in the. "recent de cision of the interstate 'commerce coin mission which -allowed -an' increase In port terminal charges by railroads at south Atlantic' and ' gnlf. ports, which was strongly opposed by- a, number of interests. The new charges' became effective- yesterday.- ' ' : V , ' ''-f .:'j-' Some time ago application was fiied with the interstate commerce commis sion by the railroads for an Increased charge for unloading vessels at the south "Atlantic " arid, gulf, ports,' . they claiming that" the' bid tariff "was com piled niariy years ' ago' when labor was many ' times cheaper than, it Is I today. They declared that" just . to ;get the haul of freight, they were forced' to unload vessels at-1 their terminals at a dead loss. " : , After the proposed new scale of charges had been filed -in Washington those opposing the increased ' rates asked that they be held up until th-y could be given a hearing-in the matter. The proceedings seeking a suspension of the proposed tariffs were Informal. Now that the " informal proceedings have been decided 'in favor of . the new tariff, the opposition may- file formal proceedings with the commission. However, it is not believed that they will be sustained should they be filed. Those in charge of the local ter minals claim that the allowance of the tariff increasing the. port , terminal charges is going to mean much to Wilmington. They say that until now the unloading of ships at - the Coast Line, Seaboard, or other docks -here, has been done at a complete loss and that there has been little Incentive for them to encourage importing concerns to send ships here to discharge cargoes for distribution in North Carolina or adjacent states. - . It is also claimed that because of the losses sustained in the unloading of vessels here at the railroad- ler minals. the railroads have not attempt ed to establish new terminals or to modernize their old ones. It Ig said that with the new tariff effective, which was figured to pay the railroads the actual cost of unloading ships, it is probable that the railroads may, in crease their terminals here.' - The old port terminal charges wert figured about fifteen years ago and labor was exceedingly cheap. It was not increased as the price of, labor soared. Until now the railroads have been allowed to charge twenty-five cents per ton for frieght unloaded from a vessel and placed in cars or storage. The new tariff wjll permit them to charge seventy cents per ton. Th,e old tariff allowed a charge of ten' cents per month for each - ton of material in storage. Now they can charge twenty cents. - The new tariff will al low them to charge fifty cents per ton for material moved from storage to the cars, whereas before they could only charge fifteen cents.- FATHER DUFFY HEARD ON "COVETOUSNESS" . wm - Sermon Brings Vivid Realiza- tion of Faith as an Achieving Force ' Simple in, expression, humble In spirit, and yet bold 'In utterance, the Rev. P. Cavan Duffy," priest superior of the Society of the Divine Compassion, preached a sermon on "Covetousness and delivered an Instruction on "Faith" last night in St. Paul's church ; as. a part of the eight-day mission service which began on Sunday. ; With the. gifts and graces of a fav ored son of Erin and with the con sciousness of the responsibility of a priest ""and prophet of God, the mis sioner in telling phrase, homely Illus tration and pointed epigram brought to the congregation, which taxed the capacity of St. Paul's, vivid realiza tion of faith as an achieving force "and covetousness' as one of the .most re spectable of .vices and consequently a sin to. beware of. if faith shall be a factor in life. . Warning his' hearers that, belief and intellectual assent are of themselves insufficient to win salvation, in the In struction on "Faith," Father . Duffy urged all to see , to It that expectancy and "venture are a very real part of their personal faith. Showing that the miracle of the feeding of the five thou sand embodied both of these essentials, Father Duffy pointed out that the men evidenced their expectancy when they sat down, waiting to be fed and that the disciples manifested their venture in obeying the command "Give them to eat." -v ' Declaring that lack of faith was the only obstacle which prevented the full operation of Christ's power when upon earth so likewise the same deficiency fetters his activity 'today; the missloner gave it as his opinion that 90 per. cent of the churches do 'no, great work be cause of their unbelief, Contrasting the attitude of the world : with . .that of Jesus Christ; Father Duffy stated ' that the former , says you-must know to do, while the letter puts it you must do to know. r ir jt; V ' :'(. v V v Maintaining, that coretoueness "ii "ugly, mammon," and that it has sacri ficed human life, virtue, honor and country as well as the. Son of God upon the altar of greed, the preacher por trayed this "as "a vice common to hu manity, and notthe special sin of any one class." .Assuring his hearers that all covet something, he gave them the apostolic ; Injunction to covet earnestly the, best gifts' and not allow their de sires, to be misdirected and. thu be a sin; ' ; ": The services today 'will be a cele. bratlon of the holy communion 7:30 n. m., ; another celebration at. 10:80 i. m. with an address ' by the mlsqloner and the' usual' instruction and sermon nt 8 p. m.

Whether or ijot "the Syros has been allocated by , the government to. some firm for operation Is not. known' here. Captain Wilson, , the master of the steamer; on . Saturday received a mes sage from the shipping board office in Savannah directing him to proceed to that'' port . today., ; Captain Wilson has no idea of the movements of the vessel after she reaches the Georgia port. . Enough officersi and men to completa the crew of the Syros . arrived in . the city from Savannah on Sunday. All yesterday was spent by Captain Wilson and his crew in getting the steamer ready for her- voyage. On her trial trip, before acceptance by the shipping board, the Syros showed up in splendid shape. Her trip to 'Savannah will be her first since she was taken over from the builders. The Syros was the last of the eight vessels to be completed at the Carolina shipyard for the shipping board. She was turned over about November 1, of last year, and since that time has been tied up at the plant of the Chadbourn Lumber company. During - this time she has been in charge of captain and skeleton crew. l With the sailing of the Syros today there will yet remain idle in the har bor, the freighter Hybert, the seventh vessel to be completed by the George A. Fuller company for the government. Like the Syros; she has been idle, here for many weeks because of the inabil ity of the shipping '.board to get any firm to operate or purchase the vessel. The Hybert is tied up at the Eagles Island docks, opposite Chestnut street. The Syros and the Hybert are ves sels of the finest xlass constructed for the government under contracts let during the . war emergency. -The fact that these two ships have been tied up in the harbor idle fer many weeks has caused considerable comment.
