THE ASHEVILLE GAZETTE-NEWS Tuesday, February 16, 1913. PAGE TWO MM. TIGERS TO M mens HERE Basketball Games Between Ti gers and Locals Arranged for Thursday, Friday. GROSS FEVERISH CHILD IS BILIOUS CONSTIPATED A sport event of unusual interest Is scheduled on the local calendar for this week, the games to be played be tureen the basketball teams of the local Y. M. C. A. and that of the Knoxvllle "Tigers." The visitors have been here before this season and man aged to get away with the decision in both the contests which they played with the association boys. The scores, however, were so close in both con testa that the home boys have not felt satisfied with their showing and have been extremely anxious to get another chance at the Tennesseeans. They fig uer that the team which they have to gether now is at least 60 per cent, stronger than the one which was de feated and feel as though the outcome of the games on Thursday and Frlday nlghta eg this week will show quite a difference from the scores that were registered In the previous encounters, la preparation for the coming con tests, the association team has been putting In some very strenuous prac tice and all the members are said to p hitting the basket with deadly ac curacy and the foul tossers are nearly perfect at getting the single points. As & preliminary to the game of Friday night. It ha practically been arranged for the slrls teams of the Asheville HJgn scnool and the Asheville school toe Girls to stage a contest. These two teams have met twice on the T. M. C. A. court and both games furnished : close scores with the High school vic torious In the two bouts. The Ashe Vill Bohool for Girls' team is very 1 confident of annexing the coming ex- Wbitlon and a game well worth seeing seems certain, as yet no preliminary tot Thursday night has been schedul- 1 ed but the manager of the Y. M. C. A. team Is negotiating with several team? to appear in a curtain raiser to the bUs; contest. . Beats are now on sale for the two F games and the advance sale indicates jthat a large attendnce will be present at th contests. NO MUTILATION IN BILL SAYS MARCUS ERW1N Look Mother!

The endors- er of the check came to this city and in company with Chief Lomlnac started out on the trail of the alleged forger. The accused man had married at law Creek in the meantime and when discovered, was In the act of starting on his honeymoon. It will be remembered that after the bill for commission government had ratified at the second mass meet ing of citizens at the court house, those who formed certain changes in the bill suggested the calling of an other mass meeting before the bill should go the legislature for passage, But this meeting was never called, and the bill has now been passed by the legislature. In a letter In this morn ing's Asheville Citizen, Charles A, Webb said that he had been informed that two members of the original com mittee of 21, with the assistance of an Asheville lawyer, who was not a mem ber of the committee, practically re. wrote the entire bill before sending it to Raleigh. Marcus Erwln was asked this morn ing if he had read Mr. Webb's letter. "Yes, sir, I have read Hon. Chaa. A. Webb's letter In the morning paper in which by innuendo, he charges a vio lent assault and terrible mutilation of the commission form bill before send, ing same to Raleigh. "His charge that the bill was re written from start to finish Is abso lutely without foundation. Its evident purpose Is to create dissatisfaction and suspicion within the ranks of the sup porters of the bill. Mr. Webb's alarm sounded through the "Voice of the People" is not the first time this charge has been made. For several days past this whispered report of the secret assault on the bill has been in the mouths of some whose business it will be from now until the nlffht of election to work against com mission form of government in Asheville..:- Let Mr. Webb calm himself. The bill Is safe. Not one single principle or essential feature of commission form has been changed or eliminated from the bill as drafted by the com mittee and ratified by the last mass meeting. I have taken occasion to Investigate these rumors of the unwarranted emasculation and unauthorized changes In this bill and I know they are nothing more than political night mares, the emanations and vagaries of disordered political minds. "The original bill prepared by the committee and the bill as passed by the legislature, will be submitted to the meeting Friday night, and the public will then be able to say wheth er or not Mr. Webb's charges are true, or unfounded." Yesterday afternoon, the committee of 21 Issued a call for mass meeting to he held at the County court house, Fri day night at 8 o'clock. This meeting Is called for the purpose of organizing campaign for the adoption of the commission bin at the election on March 1. Judge Henry B. Stevens, who presided over the two previous mass meetings, will be chairman of Friday night's meeting. Committees for the campaign work; will be named, and ideas for presenting the merits of the bill will be discussed. In view of the question's now raised as to alleged changes made in the bill after Its rat ification, the mass meeting will proo- ablv hear both sides of this contro versy discussed. The meeting bids fair to be instructive as well as inter esting. 5 SENT TOTALING TWO YEARS Nettles and Roberts Make school attendance In Buncombe county com pulsory. !
