Mr. E. D. Latta, -president of the Charlotte Consolidat ed Construction Company, the board t public service decided that It had -ruled so minutes of time and a food supply of lung-power yesterday afternoon quibbling over a matter which in tbe final analysis, vi re ferable solely to , the board of alder men for action. This discovery was even amusing to the members them selves -who had called-the consulta '' tlon for the expressed purpose " of , forming torn - agreement with Mr. ...Latta -about the specifications of hi "preliminary work on the street car . tracks. Mayor T. . Franklin allow 'ed the board to spend an hour in the r conference, discussing the situation with Mr.. Latta, before he informed "tho members that the board of alder 'mea was the only body to say when the work on the streets should begin, ' - and this was. in answer to a direct I: question from. Mr. A. H. Washburn. The final action of the board in view of this discovery was to adopt a reso lution to the effect that the service .. board, being greatly embarrassed in sending out legal notices to property nswners and in getting all preliminary i iwork out of the way, would ask the .aldermen to indicate aome definite time when the laying of permanent Improvements should begin, s MR. LATTA'S GRIEVANCE. " 'I want you gentlemen to under stand that I am not going to ; pull away from you; I am going to pull with you. in this work, and I. am not going to have the nubile to Deueve through the newspaper referencea ' that I am stubborn and trying to bold up this work. I am going to have It set rlaht when it becomes necessary. This was ono -of the several slgnlfl- cant suternenta made by Mr. Latta in the course of the conference. He - was aarsrleved at the attitude asaum iijfd by the beard and thought the newspapers were largely responsible (Tor the general -opinion as to his po sition in this street matter, wnicn n eharscterlse as misleading in every particular. He was also displeased because the board bad asked him to iDuir before it in a conference af ter a committee had waited on him several weeks ago and found out his . attitude toward the work, being jrien tben the assurance that he would not delay the laying of per manent -x improvements at all. He . stated his position without equivoca tion and whllo a little out of humor, .he pledged the board his hearty co ' operation In pushing this work to completion, only-asking that he be officially notified as to the definite time' when the- work would begin. MAYOR FRANKLIN REPORTS. After calling the meeting to order, end all the -members. Messrs. A. H. Washburn, T. W. Hawkins. A, M. McDonald. H. M. McAden, John It. Pharr and E. L. Sargent, had seated themselves around the long table, 'Mayor Franklin asked If any report ' tad ever been submitted to the board felatlvw to the conference a special committee had with Mr. Latta.. This committee consisted ef Mayor Frank- On, and Messrs. . Pharr and Hawkins, of the service board. Mr. Hawkins ' answered him by saying that no writ ten report had ever been submitted, "but, that Je had verbally given the hoard the 'substance of this confer ence. With this announcement, the mayor gave a verbal report himself . of the consultation-and among- other things, be suited that Mr. Latta said on that occasion that he would give fhis matter his attention just as soon a his son, who was then inspecting pavements In other cities, returned end tnade some report to him. . Mr. ; f argent then moved that this, report of Mayor Franklin be, placed on record and -IIn Hawkins heartily - agreed. .. ' . MR. LATTA ENTERS DISCUSSION. .At this pplnt Mr. Latta asked' to make a statement and began to ex plain the situation- to the board..' 'I would like to have from 60 to. 90 days in which to' complete my pre liminary work'., said be. "and" I am ready to begin Just as soon as the city officially Informs me that It is ready to lay the bltulithic. You all as reasonable gentlemen' see how" Im practical and unreasonahja. It. ; would be for me to- begin Immediately to -tear tip my tracks not knowing when to expect the c!ty-t start What I want to do is to work conjointly with . the city so that when I tlx my tracks, I won't leave a dKch on either aide sbout which complaint will be raised I tell you frankly gentlemen. I don't expect to make a move until I, am assured as. to the time when the city Is ready to begin work, and I don't want things to rock along as they are now either. Reports and - references in the newspapers Indicate ;hat J am standing in the way of this -permanent improvement and that all the responsibility for the delay rests upon our shoulders. I tell you it Is unfair." i MR. HAWKBNS' TURN. "I don't think you understand our motive," interrupted Mr. Hawkins. "The city is responsible for the; con struction under your tracks and therefore Jt is necessary for ui- to know what kind of rails you are go t ing to uso in your preliminary work . t- that we can make our plans ac cordingly. I don't say that we have the right to dictate to you what size r rails you must use.- but only is it . nocessary for us to know definitely what . kind you yourself will decide upon, so 'that we can regulate the construction of the bltulithic work. I think we might make an alternative contract giving you the privilege of , using either, 4-Inch or s-lnch rails, anything' definite for us te start up on." "What I want to impress upon you Is that T am being placed in a false light by the prrseht status of affairs." Mailt remarked Mr. Latta. "I con sider that J am in no way responsible for the delay In layfng the bltulithic. My action is distinctly amenable to the city's decision as to the exact ir or Beginning- operations. As a r(f'Vonsbe and practical proposition, I will not move until that Is agreed upon." . "I hare not considered that an . e.rn question at all." said Mr. Haw kins, - "Te consract has already hen, signed snd I consider this fact an indication definite enough that the .work . Is going to begin." "I don't know what eould be more Incongruous. Mr. Hawkins, than to stk me to tear up my tracks and do rny preliminary work before the city flxs an exact date- for laying - the permanent Improvements. "We don't want yon to'begtn now.

Sold by Mullen's Thann- ' - , We only want to give you plenty of time to get out of our way and that'a all we are driving at, answered Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Latta" at thU point reminded the board , of the commit tee's visit and said he considered it unreasonable to bring . htm to . the meeting after having learned through the committee hla attjtude. He again referred to his fears, that the public would thus be-more lavslined to on aider htm stubborn about the work, whicH he emphatically disclaimed. ' MR. SARGENT PULLS OUT CHAR ". . , , TBR. . , Mr. Sargent Is a stickler as to the charter and it Is significant that he had remained quiet until the confer ence . reached this etage when he reached for the Immortal document. "1 want to ask Mr. Latta." said he, "what he thinks about this which is found in the city charter," and he read the chapter which makes it in cumbent upon the1 car company to maintain its tracks, inside the rails and 14 Inches on the outside.. "WeH I will say," answered Mr. 'Latta,1 "that you can't- hold me in two dis tinct requirements. TJiat says that we must keep up the inside of our tracks and 14. inobes on the outside, and your contract with the Atlantic Bltulithlo Company makes it respon sible for the street for Ave years. I am sure that I will not be amenable to the city for five years for repairs, L If I follow its contract with the com pany.", INDEFINITE AS JUDGMENT DAY. "Mr Mayor, ' can ' you give us any assurance about the time the laying of the bltulithic will begin?" inquired Mr. Washburn, who was getting rest less, and who was beginning to see that everything, after all, depended upon some action from the aldermen. "That Is altogether with the board of aldermen," said Mayor Franklin "Well, we are Just losing- time then," interjected-Mr. MoAden. "We are just quibbling 'over nothing." Mayor Franklin repeated to the board -the late action of the finance committee in appropriating 1 10,000 to the water 1 commissioners to do their preliminary work, and also to the fact that the aldermen had said that the laying of bltulithlo a as post poned until late summer or early fall "And that is Just about as Indefi nite as the judgment day," again re marked Mr. McAden.; . Everybody finally saw' that the hour had been lost that Mr. . Latta was right in his claim that he could not begin his work until th city in dicated an ' exact date to begin . the permanent work, ' that the service board could do nothing until the al dermen had . uttered .tho word, and when these things were brought! squarely to attention, it was moved, seconded and carried that a resolu tion imploring the aldermen to make specific answer about this matter should be adopted and carried to the parent body by the street committee. CARE FOR MENTALLY SICK. Services of Police -Department Con stantly in Demand to Give Lodging and Protection to Persons IVhwc Pacnlties Are Deranged. Alice Young, the colored 'woman who has been' In the care of the po lice department for some weeks, was yesterday morning taken to the ' col ored Hospital for the Insane at Golds boro, The girl has a good education and took her prison life very philoso phically. "She's got more sense than her husband or her brother,' say the policemen. Her husband is a professor In a colored institution of learning ini Tennessee. The only dlfflcttity In which she became involved at the station. W4 a bout with' Matt Yandle In which, .so say. the policeman,, she came out ' on top. This arose from her disinclination to-toe locked up without Instructions from the chief. 'Tls said she vowed vengeance from that time on. We have not been three days in three months without some deranged person' under our care," declared nn officer. "Two others had to be looked after yesterday, after this case was disposed of."' The attaches of the police department feel that they afe getting rather more than their share of this kind of work.. " i FIXE TRIBUTE TO CII.UILOTTE. '. him Col. W. II. S.

Mr. -Burgwyn said that it- was Impossible for him to walk -through the streets of Char lotte, without being ! thrilled with ; pride as a North Carolinian that tuchl a splendid ' city belongs to the Old North Ktate. The few hours spent here, in company with his fellow workers. ' made more . pleasant by reason of courtesies extended, he declared would be an undying -in splr4tlon. "I am informed," said Colonel Bur gwyn, while Charlotte was tho sub ject of discussion. , "that during -the past twelve months- $1,600,000 has been Spent in this city for new build ings and ' improvements, and that during the past two months of this new year, in spite of the monetary stringencv, (600,000 worth oi con templated Improvements have been launched.

A MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION. The Matter of Better Railroad e-rvlc and Better Equipment More Ken- tial to the Publlo Weal Than Hales Careless eiervlc and fjnstablo i Kquipmeat Now the Kulo Bather Than the Exception Reforms Must e inaugurated and Soon. - - - - i To ihelklltor of The Observer: Now that the passenger rate ques tion has been amicably settled be tween the State and the railroads, and upon a basis which Is probably Just to each, there Is another question which. In the opinion of the writer, is of more importance than any other question connected with railroads, and that is the question of service and equipment. Of. course- these are in ter-dependent and are parts of ' the same question. ' It must be apparent to those who are: acquainted with the railroads of the State that many of them are poorly equipped. Most of the small er lines are not , properly graded, have many' rotten ties and insufficient ballast The . rails are often badly worn, too small, and otherwise inse cure; and on many of these hort lines there are places which , are known to "be dangerous, both by the railroads and the traveling ' public. Yet with such equipment a number of these (branch lines make as fast time as the through lines, and some of them make even faster time than the fast express trains that is running time. Now if any of these facts are doubted the writer can give names of roads and trains. - ' Not long ago a Japanese gentleman came from 'Richmond into a town In the northern part of this State over one of these branch lines. After his arrival" he remarked that he was frightened all the way by the speed made by the train. Had he known the condition of the road he' would 'doubtless have been much worse frlgotened. He also remarked that be had traveled all over Europe and In many parts of this country and that he had never before seen such speed on a Taitroaa. unis was rrom a man of Intelligence and prominence in bus iness In-the City of Richmond. -Another gentleman -who lives In central North Carolina and Is at the head of - a railroad himself and also a stockholder In the Southern ""Ball way, not many months ago came over a branch road In Western North Car olina. He returned another way by Atlanta because he considered athe risk too great over the branch line so the writer was informed by a gentleman who knew ef this incident Is not the question of equipment and service of more importancethun any other question , connected with the railroads? Is not the protection of life more important than anything else? And is not human life cheaper In America than in any other civilized country? Statlstlrs show that there are far more people killed In this country in proportion to the number who travel than there are in any country of. Europe; indeed the pro portion Is alarming. Our Legislatures are much ' con cerned about faxing the railroads and regulating transportation rates; and surely both of these are Important; but is not the protection or human life vastly more Important? , Ah to, the service rendered hy me railroads, both In" freight and passen ger service, it Is certain that very much better service could be render ed, and at little more cost to th I railroads. Excepting the service on the through. lines It is wdl known to those who travel much that cars are often not comfortably heated; that many ""of the Important stntlons fre quently have no fire in the '-waiting, rooms at hours when passengers are forced to wait; and that otten waitinj rooms are occupied, by drunken, bois terous" persons not passengers who make it extremely '.uncomfortable tor passengers, . It Js a well-knwn tact that a certain waiting room in one of 'the leading cities of the State is a stench to decent people. Now there are things which could -be remedied We are not now speaking of jibe num erous delays in travel, many of which cannot be avoided '- (though many de lays could be). There are other things In tho way of cleanliness and comfort which could be given the traveling public in this State without addition al expense. Just a little care is all that is needed. . As to the freight service given, that is one of the strongest proofs of-the unstable and careless' business meth ods employed by many of out. rail roads! Making due allowance -for goods badly packed and for the neces sity of quick work In handllirg freight can there be. any doubt that railroad hands and those over them are care- leM and even reckless in the handling of fr.irht? It such doubt exists In the mind of any one we ask such one to witness the loading or unloading of a local freight. Suppose the lead ing merchants, or manufacturers, or other business men should employ such business methods as to care, or der, system and dispatch In the man agement of their affairs as the rail roads do, what would be the result? Business depression and often failure, unquestionably. The writer realUes that the rail roads in the State many of them are not In a prosperous condition, and regrets such fact. They are, in addi tion to other troubles, deluged with freight claims, many of which are no doubt unjuwt. But do not these claims come largely as a result of careless business methods? . And could not much of such claims. as well as most of the wrecks which occur be avoided If more care were taken, a higher class of employes se cured, and the- needed Improvements In road-bed, before mentioned, were made? Surely these things are not visionary, Ar the Ideas I present not both practical and practicable? '- Are they not the Ideas that' Judicious bus iness men endeavor to carry out? Now, the writer hopes he may not be understood as antagonising the railroads, for he certainly feels most kindly towards them. For no man but a fool or any enemy of hla State conld feet otherwise. He realises that they are one of the principal if not the chief agencies for the Industrial development of a State or section; and that any legislation hostile to them must be Injurious to the State. But be also realizes that there are certain reforms In their equipment, manage--rent and service whlcn could be eas ily made and which wculd not only be very convenient and helpful to the people, but would, when Inaugurated, be of advantage to the railroads, both financially and otherwise.

Although it Is the great success chat "The Girl From Out Yonder" achieved last year that Is the prin cipal reason Adelaide Thurston, the brilliant young actress will use it again for the current sason yet there are many things about the play that appeal to bar' artistic temperament mere than any play she has ever had. 6he would very -probably have con tinued in it even had it not been such a good money maker, because it gives her - opportunities for a fuller display of certain of her talents that la her previous plays had only been suggested. She Is. if possible, even more dainty and .winning than ever, especially as aer appearance as not earn makes her a little girl again, a part for which she is particularly well fitted. She enters Into the spirit or the play with all of her old time sest and carries her audiences with her from the common place to start ling .climaxes, and then drifts them back easily to terra flrma by the very Tsnarm of her personality and . her acting. In - the more serious scenes she rjses to the height of emotional act ing that even her best friends and most ardent admirers are surprised at. She shows herself possessed of that marvelous quality of versatility ranging rrom the- lightest comedy to the most intense emotionalism that was the dominant characteristic of a lew of the greater French actresses notably Rachel and Reisne.- It la because as Flotsam, Miss Thurston has these opportunities that she likes the. play so welt She says that she likes not only the story Itself but the entire, atmosphere of thft play.
