ALDERMEN WILE NOT By Close Vote City Attorney Was not Instructed to Draw up Amend ment to Charter. During an executive session of the board of aldermen Friday night, fol lowing tho open session, and after thfl disposition of the financial mat ters for which tho executive session was asked, Alderman Fltzpatrlck called up the question of the proposed! curfew law. Informally discussed in I the regular meeting, and the propo-1 sltion to require the city attorney to draw up an amendment to the city charter to be presented to the next legislature Was defeated by one vote, Mayor Campbell casting the deciding vote. Those who opposed the propo sition say that there had been no for mal demand made for such a law. since no formal petition had come before thb board and therefore they had nothing to act upon. Further, there are several proposed changes to the city charter to be considered before the legislature meets and the whole matter will probably be threshed out at that time. The board simply did not dealre to Jump into anythlnu without khftwThg mere about It and anyway they were of the opin ion that It would be better considered all at once. A WAGON FACTORY MAY BE ESTABLISHED HERE Parties in Cumminication With Board of Trade Relative to Matter Fine Location. in a country where so much devel opment Is going forward there Is a great demand for farm, log and lum ber wagons. Throughout this western section great (luantttles of lumber and acid wood are being gotten out; In the cities and towns there Is much street and road work being done, nil of which demands wagons of some style or other. In this conneceion it Is understood that a proposition is now on foot to establish a wagon factory In Ashe vllle. This city Is peculiarly fitted for such an enterprise, being so near the raw material district as well as in a district where there is great demand for wagons. This city with its fine chance of one and probably two lines of railway within a short space of time would then become an even better distributing point. There are some parties In communication with the board of trade having In view the es tablishment of such a factory in this city, and will doubtless do so with proper encouragement and If certain conditions are met with.

NAVY OVERCOMES ARMY ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD Clean, Hard Fought Battle Gives Victory to the "Middies" Kick from Placement Won Came. Philadelphia, Nov. 28. That old rule which teaches that if one cares to succeed he must try, try again. was forcibly brought to mind on Franklin Field Saturday when toe Navy in a hard and clean game of football dofeated their old rivals, the Army, by the score of 3 to 0. After six attempts to boot the ball from placement over the West Point goal line. Dalton, the sturdy half back of the Midshipmen's team, succeeded on his seventh effort and the three points which he had been striving for, looked good to the. Navy and proved to be siimciciii to win the game. It was n pretty kick', squarely between the goal post and was made toward the end of the last period of play. The kick almost broke tne Army's heart, but true to tradition the Army stuck to It and did not show the white feather. The Navy deserved the victory for the Midshipmen put up a sterling game and outplayed the cadets from the Initial kick-off down to the m- stant when Field Judge Fultz declared the contest at an end. Of Daltnn's seven attempts at goal from the field, three were made from the thirty yard Une. The last which succeeded was from the 25 yard line: there was one from the 39 yard and one mighty effort 51 yards from the Army goal. All but three of his kicka carried to the goal line, but the stilt wind from the northwest which blew across the field carried the ball to one side of the posts. Dean, the star punter of the Army made two at tempts at field goals, one from the 44 yard line and the other at 45 yards, but neither kick came near a score. Played With Broken Rib. Annapolis.
