CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, FEBRUARY 11, 1003. yOXEYDEX'JAK GOES OFl" mr. Hawkins katiecr. quet. At fission or tin Hoard of TuMIe SorvU Yesterday Afternoon tbe I'rtillded Kea.atlohl Charges lYum Mr. T. W. Hawkins Failed to Jclon Strcrt Work Touched I'pon. But Tliere Were no rvnurt--iatioiis of thn 'Aldrrnunlfl Board Irorn tlx- Mfmhr-r of I lie Com. mission Mr. Hauklus Prepared ominuul.it t Ion, Kctllnjr Forth His Attitude, Bui He Wdn'1 Head It. "I came here prepared to lick romcbody or pet licked," remarked lather smilingly Mayor T, f. Frank Jin at the meeting yesterday after noon 8t 3 o'clock of the board of public service. ... " "J have a paper here that I meant .' to read in connection with the street work, but I fear that It will find its way into the newspapers and there fore I think I will not make it pub lic," Wid Mr. T. W. Hawkins, and these two statements approximate the approach to the only sensational features of the meeting;. The Lcyden-Jar of the meeting: fulled of discharge. The paper that never was flled with the board this goes down in municipal history as a document mysterious both In Its contents and in Its primal purposes. About the only thing known about the treat- ; I ne is that It was fathered by Chair man T. W. Hawkins, of the street commute from the board of public service, and the further alleged fact that it was intended to chow thB rights of this commission to control the- work of laying permanent street Improvements and such other mat ters as lie inherent within this cor porate body. Mr. Hawkins read it to Mayor Franklin privately after adjournment was taken. . ' STREET WORK TOUCHED UPON. The question of time for starting the street work was designed to be rrlmartly settled at this meeting,! but as a matter of fact. It was merely i touched upon during the session, . Home of the members .occasionally throwing out suggestions as to the prerogatives of this board to take up this work whenever It saw Jit. "Of course we know that the al dermen have nullilied the contract which- this board entered Into with the Atlantic Uitulithlc Company, but .' I suppose you all know that this board had the right to draw this con tract under its charter, and the al dermen would hardly have the. pow er to Invalidate It at their pleasure." said Mr. Hawkins at on tlmn during the meeting. This he said In a very quiet and in his accustomed ' sqave tone, mildly but authoritatively, as If nobody In the world would contradict him.. It trass very probably due to this mannerism of hs thiU no re sponse was mail'! by Mayor Frank lin, for the last named gentleman -ntado.no wnswer to this proposition. Captain Franklin had already stated, wh'p.Mr. Hawkins mud the an nouncement Hb.iut the paper that never was "led. that If the service board was merely going to attack him and the board of aldermen, ho would refuse to enter Into the con troversy Just at this time. r "I WANT rEACF." WASHBURN. "Mr. Chairman, I want to sav In this conectlon that T favor reading lio paper or taking any action that will bring this hoard Into antagon ism with the board of aldermen. I tim getting putty tired of scrapping and I want to go on record as favor ing anything- that will bring about TfBC and harmony between these two bortrds." sjild Mr. A. It. Wnsh 1;tirn with fervid -mphuls. Mr, John K. I'hnrr made practi cally the s ms statement, prior -to Mr. ITawklns Intimation Bbout the paper he lijid prepared.' saying that lit! was In 'favor of allowing nothing filed or-printed tn ' the newspapers that was Intended to muk h breach between the board and the parent board. "I am sure that what we need most of all Is harmeny," re marked Mayor Franklin st this junc ture, and with these statements the paper prepared by Mr. Hawkins be came gradually silenced. It is due Mr. Hawkins, however, to add that b was the first person 'who suggest ed that, the paper-should not bo rad, even though he hsd wriiten It. stating that l was merely to set straight the matter of getting the preliminary strvet work out of th wsy so that evert thing 'would . be r'artr for laying the permanent Im provements. J( furthermore declur rd that he hs-l been tnliiiint.-d. nod that his Interview with a newspaper representative had nppnrently been written si s 1,1 lead the public to misconstrue bis motive, jjn denied th coneoeMon "f any story or inter view, or writing any artl'-li g fr the rlty papers. Intended to excortt the prer'nt situation, or aeee..rat the present tension. , MR. WASHBURN WANTS 'INFOR MATION. "Kmake n motion that the mayor ru' In writinx hlH ides of what the eommissions have to do," a Id Mr. Washburn.. "I think it Is due us to knew what power we have left sine the aldermen passed th" recent res olution revoking nil unexpended ap propriations, sod giving the alder men the prile power of suylng what the city's mon-y shall he spent for hereafter. I want the mayor to de fine his policy clearly so that tlfre can be no further misunderstanding between us. If you Will agree to do that, I will not make th motion: otherwise, I will." i - . "Well, : I don't know whether I would do It., even If you did pass such a motion," said Mayor Frank lin calmly, explaining that ho was not a lawyer, and would not like to nave thrust upon him the duty of 'handing out a legal document in definition of the duties of the various hoards. This was not urg-d by Mr. Wixjhburn sfter.Mr. Franklin's ex planation, although he persisted In esylng that it would be the proper thing to do. THE FENCE ON THE 8QlAnE.--. At the test meeting of the board of alderman, the complaints register ed by partlea eoneefnlng the heijrht f the fence on the square were re ferred to the board of public service. 1 "Chairman Hawkins summoned Mr. 3. H. Little, president of the Char lotte Tnit nnd Realty Company, and Contractor J. A. Jones to the meet In yesterday afternoon, and lieard their renists snd answers to questions-relative to the wisdom of a f i nee of this height. They were also ekd numerous. nuH-tlon about the , necessity of cutting off entire pti from the sidewalk and excavating. the aiiewslk for the purpotte of ae euring prismatic lights In the bulld . ins. The question and snswers were made tiwtt'-r of record upon the r-um-ftif Mr. K. U Purg-nt. The eofcoany ii given re-onforeed thorify "to dig away the sidewalks snd to maintain th fence on the n,uare ro hjng e it, .ws necorsary. which means until the steel work on' the structure is finished. "Anybody that objects to that ought to be sent hack to PinevHIe, or Waxhiw," said Mr. Washburn. SUB-WAV ON K AST TRADE WANT ED. . ' Tho matter of securing" a sub-way on East Trade street by lowering the street and raising thn railroad tracks was brought ap by Mr. Faryent who stated that hei found the railroad people open for a proposition In this regard, and therefore thought, the time favorable for taking it up. It was stated that only :nc property holder in that vicinity had so far raised an objection to the j roposcd change. -tThe propo-itlon -s to lower East Trade street : four n Irom College across the rallr-:ul, nid to e.levato the railroad he. n malning. necessary distance. This .u're mat ter was referred on r.i'itb.n of Mr. Hawkins to tho -tro t ' . i nit'.co to report back to hn .vd. CONFLICT OVER SCHOOL PROP ERTY. Mr. Washburn Introdu.x-d u, lrwilu- tlon, after making propvr i'f-llinin-ary remarks relative to a conlllct cf opinion about the ownership of school property, the resolution I- ing In the nature of a reoo n n"i1a- tion to thn, aldermen to rj'-ta?r all real estate and property .jaud I y the school authorities' to the boiird cf school commissioners md to their exclusive control. This lesotaticm ' was introduced. ald Was'n'cjrn. faf- ter a disagreement li -twiK-.l Mmrelf and Mr. J. L.

REQUEST FROM RETAIL MER CHANTS. A request from the UHsoclatlon of local retail merchants to be allowed to meet In the room used by the ser vice boerd occasioned a lengthy de- bato that finally landed the applica tion on the table; without any official action. At one time, a motion made to grant the request seemed about to prevail when objections began to be raised In volumes. The only reason for holding the question open was on account of the fact' that the board feared that favorable action might be taken as a precedent and other bodies would clol re tho'use of tho room. It was suggested tht the office on the second floor now occupied by the armory would shortly be vacated and the association mlsht hold Its meet ings there. 8. A. U SUBWAY. NEEDS ATTEN TION. Attention was called by Mayor Franklin tn tho condition of tho K. A. L. subwuy and asked that tho board take the situation In hand. Mr. Haw kins stated that he had been advised about this subway and had reached the conclusion that bltulithlc pave ment ahould be used there. He was aware of the fnct that some Improve ments were badly needed right now at this point, and he favored Immediate action. If the finance committee of the alOcrmcn were In -position to grant the necesxary money. A SURMISE OF MR. HAWKINS' ATTITUDE. Considerable speculation will be aroused In regard to tho withheld communleatlon of Mr. Hawkins. The most prophetic and succinct statement he made public during the meeting relative to the mutter was this': "I favor the Immediate prosecution of the preliminary work, laying the wa ter mains, etc., and It 1b due the street cor company and tho property holders to know preci.fely what time the laying of permanent Improve ments will begin." Ho alno made a statement which is believed to be con tained with some degree of elabora tion In tho prepared paper to the efTVct that the Atlantic Rltullthlc Company could not bo charged with being a party to the delay according to the 'contract which ho hlmaelf wrot-. He paid thut the contract In tho proviso relative to tho possjble postponement of tho work, did not al low til city to liy sside the agree inent at will, neither did It provide for the city to nullify the contract on . . rri- teoount 01 no avsiiaoie mnn-y. 1 m-t laue which be had liieerb'fl related cl ti Cl o contingencies extraneous to thl ondltion. and for tbst reason me city .....1.1 a ..nouni.i f , 1 .v n v I n it that.

No reason Is assignable to Mr. Hawkins Tor concluding not to read the paper he had prepared unless It comes from a possible interview ho had prior to the meeting- with Mayor Franklin. It Is altogether likely that h was apprised of the fnct that the aldermen acted tn good faith when tbey adopted a resolution pontponlng this work until early summer or late fall. Mr. Hawkins does not tske the position that the permanent Improve ments should be laid at once: on the other hand, he favors only a definite ly flxe.i date as to the beginning of these oeratlors. and rs a nutter of fact iat represents practically his whole eontentlon. Mayor Franklin refused to openly commit himself at th meeting yesterday grternoon as to the time the aldermen have In mind, but to show that they wore acting In good faith ho cited tne service, board to the fact that a car load of fixtures recesary to tho new water mains had alresdv arrived, and Instead of storing them, "he ordered that they be scatter ed along the streets where they will be placed. He gave this Incident to satisfy the board that neither he nor the aldermen contemplated any Jong delsv, but Intended, on the other hand, to start the work at the earliest poexible mement. While the session of the bnard yes terday afternoon at times Indicated a degree of spirltedness Seldom ' ex hibited these days, it was at once tame and devoid of toradlc splurge f the soneattonal.

Anderson, S. C Mall. f - Of all the swindllnr i rrncs the greatest has been perpetrated In this county during , the past few weeks and as a result many women have been relieved of nice amounts of money. The game was a divorce decreeing game. Women wanting to bo "law fully" separated and divorced froml their husbands for any cause or causes -whatever were furnished the opportunities of having their wishes granted. Several weeks ago A. H. fUeed man of 55 or (0 years, claiming a knowledge of law, drifted Into An derson. He visited the various cot ton mills and learned through gossip and otherwise which women in the villages were disappointed w'lfh their husbands, and the names of these wo men who would pay for and accept divorces. Steed evidently had everything bis own way. His (fame progressed nice ly and many women, tired of their husbands or because- their husbands hatl deserted them, fell victims to the talk of the "lawyer." He collected considerable money In Anderson. Wll llamston and Pelser. His operations were confined chiefly to cotton mill villages. THE. SCHEME, ... . V Here was Steed's game: He would find out the name of a woman who might bo willing to pay for a divorce from her husband, because of one pretext or another. Steed .would visit that woman; explain to her that it was not necessary for her married life to conttnfte, and that he could ar range It with the courts so that she might be made a single woman again. He would make a contract with tho woman that upon the payment of T ho would prepare for her execu tion affidavits sustaining a complaint against her husband, upon which complaint the Ulvorco proceeding should be made. Hteed's Understanding wjth his Cli ents was that he should take the com plaints before a Judge In the courts of Florida, and there procure the divorce decrees. Upon his return with the decrees, he was to receive an addi tional payment of 15, making his services worth In each case IZQ. He enticed several women of the Cox Mills, some in the Orr Mill vil lage and some Jn other mill villages of the rltv to. become his "clients." In each Instance be would collect his retaining fee. of $5. PLAN WELL MAPPED OUT. After getting up all of the com plaints. Steed would disappear for . a few days ho would leave this part of the county, and would visit mill villages elsewhere to continue his ne farious work. After an absence of several davs, h would turn "P at tho door of his client and produce the desired decree and deliver it upon payment of the remaining $15 in each case. .Steed wss allowed to relieve many unsuspecting women of their hard earned money, but two of his victims, Mrs. L. E. Cleveland and Mrs. Mary Lou lalnes, broke tip his game by ex-posing him and swearing out a war rant before Magistrate E. B. C. Snipes for his arrest. The magistrate placed the warrant In Hheriff Green's hands and for tho past few days the sheriff's office has been an the lookout for the money coiner. He moved his scat of opera 4i..n n,.r tn Wllliamaton several days ago. and on one o two . occasions Deputv Sheriff Scott has gone to WII llamston to effect an arrest. Steed evidently "got wise". to the proceed ings and has skipped out. He de parted from Wllllamston before day., light, yesterday morning, and his ac quaintances in Wllllamston believe that he has gone for good and all. BAR ASSOCIATION ACTS. ' The Anderson Ear Association held a meeting several days ago to Inves tigate Steed and his works. He claim ed to be a lawyer and the bar associ ation wanted to . know sometnlng about him. his qualifications and workings. A committee w-as named for the Investigation. . This committee has secured tho di vorce decrees .delivered' 'by Sleed to two or more of Ills "cU-nts." Fol lowing is a copy of iti of the pa- ners: ! L. K. Cleveland vs. v - -,...... Samuel Cleveland. pv bIM of divorce In State of Florida. This cause coming to be heard was submitted by , plaintiff's attorney. John II. Garrett, on the original bill decree pre confess, order of publi cation and the evidence of complain ant and her witnesses. After hearing the allegations and the proof, it appesrs to tho court that tho plaintiff Is entitled to the relief prayed for In her Wld bill ' of com plaint. It Is therefore ordered and .adjudg ed bv the court that the plaintiff have a diverse a vinculo matrimonii and that the bonds of matrimony here tofore exlsting'be and are hereby for ever dissolved. - It Is further ordered and adjudged by the court that tho piainun nave the custody and control of her chil dren for and during the period , of their minority as against the said de fendant. Samuel Cleveland. It It further ordered and adjudged bv the court that the plaintiff, L. E. Cleveland, have the right to marry aguln under the, statutes mad and provided In such cases. v V T,. Whatley. Special Judge. This the 27th day of January, 190S. j Copy. ....... Attention U called to the wording of the above decree. Note the shrewd neas of the latryerN" r ' - In the first place R will be seen that the. decree bear the njmt of no county In Florida, therefore no In vestigation csn readily be made. In the second plsce It wilt be seen that Steed uses the name or John H. Gar rett as the plaintiffs attorney Instead of h ow-n. It will also be aeen that he d!1 not use the nm of a Judge, hut a "special Judge." for had he marked the word 'Judge" under hi decree, anv Intelligent person could easily ascertain whether or not Florlr da had any Judge by that name. But Steed was too shrewd. The shrewd est part was his marking the decre "copy." The nam of the "special Judge" was typewritten and under neath the name appeared the word "copy." . ' DECRJRKS WRITTEN HERE. As a matter of fact. Steed had all of hl- "decrees" v.rttten by a stenog rapher, in this city. He claimed to hi "clients" that ho had been 4o Florida for them. Steed's whereabouts- now Is un known. He is nearly 10 years of age, has a good and Intelligent appear ance, and his a growth on the left side of his neck. It is saiu that h has two children living In Wllllamston .where h made his headquarters. It is ure to say now, however, that since lie has got wind of the fact-that'the officers re behind him with tho. In tention of breaking up his game, he will not put in an appearance at Wil liamston any time soon. " - .. 1 1 . I -' THE DEATII RECORD.
