"Yu newspaper man," aalA a, Char lotta oltlten . yatrdAy, "know or are apposed, to know rarythlnf , and I want to aak you what to to become of the resident of the tenderloin or red light dtitrleu ot North Carolina oltlea and towns?" ' ' "I ': do not quite understand you," said the ra porter. "Has anything hap pened to thaw?" , ,. "Hate you not read the law passed "fay the rsoamt Laflalatarer was the quick response. ''Here It la, as clipped ,'Ironva Stat paper to-day, which I Infer la correct" . , The law follows! " "An aot passed by the recant cession of the General Aaaembly declares all .' persons keeping- disorderly or bawdy houses or who are Inmates of the same warrants within the meaning of sec tion 1740 of the Revlsal. Following are the worislons of the new law: "It shaU he the duty of the chief of police, marshal, constable or other chief mtntatfcrlal officer of each city and town In this State, to furnish to ' the poltoe, Justice, recorder, mayor or other trial officer of such town or city, . a list of the bawdy, assignation, lewd and disorderly houses and places where illegal sexual Intercourse la car rled on, tog-ether with the namea of the keepers and Inmates of such houses and places, in such city or town, every thirty days, and It shall ' be the duty of such police justice, re .Border, mayor or ether trial officer. upon the filing- of such list, to Issue his (warrant for such persons nerem ae clared to be vagrants, and to punish such persons as may be guilty under this act. as provided in section itis of the Revise!. Provided, that In trials under this act any keeper, Inmate or mttlove of the houses or places, or either of them, shall be competent and eomnelable to give evidence of the character and nature1 of such house , or place, and the character and acts of the kaepera and inmates ox sucn houses and places, but such person so testifying shall not be proteouted or eunlshed for violation ol any law about which crime such person shall have been required to testify. "If any chief of police, marshal ennatabla or other ministerial officer f any city or town shall fail to fur nish the Hat of houses and places pro vlded for in this act, or shall suppress the name or names of such persons, as he Is by this act required to report. he shell be grullty of a misdemeanor and upon conwlction therefor shall e flned or Imnrlsoned. or bout, in tne discretion" of the court." ' "Now." said the citizen, "If that ifloee not put the whole trtbe between the devil and the deep blue sea. then X don't know where I live." "Looks Ilk they will all have to go to the tvuntry," ventured the report er. . 71 Is very evident they will have to r somewhere," said the gentle man, "and It looks to me like the country people will have to handle the problem m the future, inasmuch as they cannot show any positive way of snaking a living by the labor of their hands. "In fact, they are not allowed by other working women to work If they wanted to. In the mills and factories, and their only hope, now, seems to be to go to the Crittendon Home and re form or strike out for the green shade of the country. The law, on Its face seems to allow them to live outside of towns and cities, and la another on of the freaka fixed up by a body of our best msn every two years st Raleigh. One might ask why the peace of the rural districts Is to be disturbed and these people chased out of towns and put upon the country where there are no officers to quell trouble?" "When does the herding begin?" asked the reporter. v "The law, as before us, it silent on that part, but I would suppose It Is operative at once." "Any man Invitee criticism who champions in any way this class of humanity, but I have never yet seen any rough handling by courts or oth erwise that seemed to diminish the tribe. H is a problem unsolved One class of men would banish them on another community and another class, not so large, would put them under Strict police protection, while the (Teat mass of the people have never given them a thought. . "Once I heard a Superior Court Judge say from the bench, in a collo quy with the solicitor about the dispo sition of an Indictment (or keeping a disorderly house: These people have ot to live somewhere, you can't run them out of the world.' "In that sentence he said more thnn appears on first blush I do not know that anything is a necessary evil, I am not saying- that these people are. tout X do know they have been hero ever an nee the first record, and will stay )ire as long as human weakness and depravity exists. "This law, you see, was made to over a wide fieldthey are all classed as vagrant, and as such will have to go to actual work or move." "What would you employ them at?" quered the reporter. "Aa I said before, none of the work ing women will work by the side of them, and on account of the ban put upon them by sJI women there Is nothing for them to do but move from place to place. The recorder has a Job on hie hands, now, and won't Cel. Tern Black and the rest of the blue coats get busy when Chief Irwin se cures the names of all those here In Charlotte, and begins to bring them to the city hall T There will be 'some thing doing then." "Why set let them take in waah tagf asked the newspaper man. "That mt-ht do," said the ottlsen. A Yoang IXknr Strikes at Mr. Shan, aenhouse. Recorder Shannenhouse, yesterday gnornlfif, after his court hsd adjourn ed, was standing en Tryon street side walk talking te Mr. J. O. Walker, when Anthony Volts, collector for Mr. Joe Kloase, earns along. Catling Volts, Mr. Shanaotahouse said: "I understand yon hare been simulating a story to the affect that X best J. H.

Nolan, the land scape gardner, who has done such ef fective work here, will arrive this spring about the 8th or the 10th of April.. He will be here the remainder of the month. In addition to his work at Charlotte he will give lectures and consultations In Savannah, Lynchburg Roanoke, Morganton and perhaps at Charleston and Columbia, At Char lotte Mr. John Nolan will give, during his stay In this city, a specially ar ranged public lecture, to which ad mission will be free, This will be fully Illustrated, not only by views of this country but by view which Mr Nolan took last summer In Europe. The topographical map of Indepen dence Perk has been sent to him and he Is now engaged in . laying off the driveway. This, which will be, it Is presumed, about a half a mile -long, will lie between Seventh street as ex tended and the old resej-volra It will command a splendid view of the water. This is the beginning of the work on the Independence Park and on all the parks. Mr. Nolan will have more time on this trip than he has ever hitherto had, and will be able to do much private work. Some of this will be new and other parts will be a continuation of that started last year. Mr. Nolan will be able to do appointnu.nt work. Those who wish any of this work may leave their names with Mr. p. A. Tompkins or Mr. George Stephens. The beautlflcatlon of Charlotte's present and proposed parks, which has been furthered by the Park and Street Commission Is a work of whose Im portance Charlotte people are aware and one which they Intend to aid.

The mere feeling that It belongs to them, that If Is a place of recreation which they have a riant to frequent eittnacts them there. This Is but en Illustration of what It will mean to Charlotte to have a system of welVcultlvatted and beautiful parks wbsreall may go for re ana recreaiicm, "And If we ever expect to get them," continued Mr! Stephens, "now Is em phatically, ah time. The city of Char lotte cart purchase the land for these parks r at one-tenth the price they will coat it ten years from l.ow. And every body who knows anythlnsr about civic problems knows that It Is practically impossible to prevail on a municipal government to spend a vast sum of money for such purposes."
