A - ! " : Officials in counties in this state and V North Carolina have been asked to watch out particularly for Lawson. lawson is about 27 years old He was : arrested in Charleston a month ago for breaking into several stores at Poston V and stealing a lot of clothing. It was ' while he was attempting to dispose of his loot that officers In Charleston "se-,-; cured him. After he was brought to f jail here it was learned ' that he had been convicted of manslaughter in a -i North Carolina court and sentenced to . 10 years' service. After ' two years he - was granted a parole by .the governor to endure during, good behavior. This ' parole was, of course, revoked as oon as the North Carolina authorities wre "; ' advised as to his activities at Poston. - . Lawson was to have been returned ;,to North Carolina after the courts here -.'had finished with him "and was to com- plete his 10-year , sentence. He is de , scribed as, being about five, feet, seven inches high, weighs about 200 pounds . and has very light sandy hair. Local officials believe that Lawson cannct re-'l main at liberty Jong and are certain of his early capture. They have reason to i ; believe that he will make, an effort to ."reachihis old North Carolina homo. ' ::- Deputy Sheriff Black discovered the escape of - Lawson and the three ne i - groes when he went to throw the lock on the steel " cage last night. i . The negroes are James Brown, held ', for trial, for statutory rape; Willie Graydon.'accused of the murderSf Wll 4ie Brayboy, and Ed McBrlde, held for : trial -for larceny. ; '. 1 One . of the most interesting ' and profitable members' meetings in; the history of the association was held last night;, at. the ; Young ; Men's .Christian association 'when ,-. a large number gathered in the boys' lobby to hear or the work during the past year, as well as the plans , for the. future in air its departments. . ' . ' After , all had joined 1 in singing "America! . and were led in prayer by Rev. G. W. McClanahan, J. F. Roache, president of the board of directors, told of the work of that, body, and also mentioned the efficient work being done by the members1 of the executive staff of the association. He also took this occa$ici to thank the ministers of the city or their splendid co-operation during the past in helping o make the work a success. Speaking in behalf of the membership at large. J. P. Orr responded with very pleasing remarks, in .which he voiced '. their' hearty appreciation of all that, was being done, by everyone connected with the association. . . Two "very enjoyable and " much ap preciated features of the evening were solos by Mrs. H. M. Ware, and read ings by Edmond Alexander, who has recently located in our . city. . Reports ; were then' heard from the different committee chairmen, and -in every department of the work great progress was shown over previous years; Special mention 'was made of the very efficient work being done, by volunteer workers on the .-membership committee,',' these men giving . some portion of each day to enlisting and interesting- men in the association work. The ' total membership in num bers now stands at 1,207, 300 of which ar boys.' Rev. J. A.' Sullivan ; laid special stress on the far-reaching, re ligious program of the association, making particular mention of the work being, done by the Yoke-fellows band; also the great number of personal in terviews held on religious and kindrejd subjects by the secretaries. D. H. Howes, reporting for the work' of. the city 'boys'-department, emphasized the great work 'being done in the churches through 'training classes under the direction of the city boys work secre-. tary, this work tending to. bring about a' better relationship between parents ands child by a better understanding of the problems with which they have to -deal. ' Two members of -the boys' division, Aubrey Kelly, speaking of the work of the HL-Y club, . and Delavo Love, who told of the crusader's work, were introduced, and greatly pleased their hearers ' with short, spicy re ports of this work. In the absence, of the chairman of the building boys' work committee, Lawrence Schuster read a" very inter esting report from this department of the work. L. J. Poisson told of the real benefit derived from the physical work in helping, to make real men out of all who participate,, this fitting them to be better able to 16ope with the temptations of life In" every form. ' A special feature of the evening was a very, inspiring talk of Bishop T. C. Darst, who spoke on" "The Problem of the Young Man," in which he admon ished the older men to be always will ing to help the 'younger men in gain ing the hilltop, and encouraging thern to be of service to their comrade and to the community at large. He ap pealed to all present that the dominat-l lagf thing -sin their JJyes should be to, maKe me. -count in 1eaa1ng. 01ners.to the Christ;' not to live the self-centered life, but to throw themselves Into the work of the world in doing their part to help make other men. He closed his talk with the story of an English regiment -who .found their colors in the thick. o the battle,' -by putting themselves into the very heart of the fight.-thus being-' of real service to their comrades. Ged'ls saying to all men today, "Your colors are on yonder hill of service." Shall any man do less than plant, his colors there? Following, this, delightful refresh ments were served . by a , group of young ladies, members of the Y. W. C. A., under, the direction of Miss Bern hardt and Mrs. J. H. Huntington. OPERATING CONDITIONS ON ROADS ARE CHANGED! BODY OP AETHfR MEDLIN IS 'V ' LAID TO REST AT MAXTON Railroad Managers Therefore ' Ask Modification of Agree ; mehts With Labor -1 d CHICAGO, Jan. 11. Change in oper ating conditions from those which pre vailed durinsr government bperation of the railroads was ' ascribed.: today as one of the , reasons ; the. railroads. ; are asking ; the railroad labor ..board for modification of the naitibnal agreements with the railway labor unions.. t The reason was assigned by -; John 'g. Walber, member of the railroad man agers' committee, who said the rail representatives present when the agree ments were nesrotiated were chosen as subordinates -of the regional directors and were not entirely free' to negotiate as though they, represented under pri vate control. ' ' Continuation of the railroad presen tation occupied the. entire day 'today, with a few interruptions. 'ET. Whiter, chairman of the managers' committee, read the detailed 1 objections of ; the roads to the agreements, illustrating with numerous examples of alleged in justice in their operation. . . Objection was made toV the rule re garding employes sent out on the road fort emergency service, and an. example was cited in which it was declared the -punitive payment was 562.84 for four men.' ,.- - 3 - f -. The rule covering payments 'for men necessary to fill vacancies at outlying points was opposed by -Mr. -Whiter. "There is no good reason why the employer should send a man from a home point. to fill a vacancy, and ;pay traveling, expenses, . etc., if the' em ployer can set the work done' by tem porarily employing a man at the local point," Mr. Whiter said. ' - . The seniority rule under which vacancies are filled also 'came under fire of the -railroad '-argument, Inef ficiency and-loss of output due to plac ing incapable men on jobs they could not handle resulted from this rule, ac cording to Mr. Whiter, He said the matter, of filling positions requiring special training and knowledge should be left entirely, to the -foreman and not to the crafts. ; ,' - Mr, Whiter will continue his pres entation" of the railroad's objections to the rules tomorrow, j. jivxuiv, Jan.: ll.
