Mr. Morton was present in advocacy of his bill and failed to reach an agreement with fihe car peo pj: about tho main provisions. The street ml! way men contended that the law should not apply to them in- cases of abnormal congestion when a sepa ration of ithe raeo3 would bo dm possi ble. Tho street car men also argued that it should be made a misdemeanor for a passenger to occupy a seat in a part of tho- car except that assigned to his nco, placing all tho responsibili ty or - be separation cn tho patrons Instead of the company. Mr. Morton refused ta accopt any compromise on his bill n-nd the committer adjourned.

He said tins might be accomplished by a .more adroit' de finition of the terao ".trust" No action was talvcn. the hearing beins ' contin ued The Liquor FiQrd: Resumed.

Later the two men met In the lobby of the Yarborongh ana Brltton remarked that ho had not had a eqnaare deal in the fight at the cap itol. Mr. Kitchen informed him that he would get a square deal then if he desired and another fisticuff3 ensued until tho men were pulled apart by friends. Neither of them received ser ious Injury.

Besides James Crosby whose inimitable mono logue has won for him the sobriquet of "The Tall Talker," Tho Cotton Pickers' Band is a specially organized coterie of solo musicians, who either on pa rade in concert before the perform ances, or on the stage, have won the proud distinction of being the only colored band' to have played in New York for three sucfessive months. The perfcrmanc3 begins with a mag nificent first part, the scene being an elaborate setting in the Royal Palm Grotto. The olio features numbering ten big acts include, besides Crosby and the band the Oklahoma Octette, the Dixie College Rangers im a (series of 'Varsity Class Songs; aoM old sweet songs of the South; the three Spiller Musical Bumpers in ' a Rag time Comedy Musical Act; MacToney Trio, the dare-devil acrooats: wimaniis , r , ' ., , ny Jones, the Texas teaser: .together! with a buck dance contest which is j open to all comers and for which a va.'uable prize is awarded.

The regular X monthly meeting cf 'the Board of Al dermen will be held Monday! alight, but its session will be so taken up. with the regular business and - as the Board of Audit and Finahec wpuld hav to pass on anytthing that wonld be done, anyway, it has been decided , to have the joint conference. , City Attorney Bellamy, by instruc- . tion of bpth boards, has been at work ton biils covterlng these projcitsfpr some time and has had favo confer- ences wStli the Jegislatiye cQmajdttee of the Beard of Aldermen with' refer ence thereto. The draft of the bills as agreed upon in ccmaiittee will be submitted to the conference for such changes and amendments that it may . be deemed advisable to make, and ithe ' measures will ithea be forwarded to Raleigh for passage by the Legisla ture. -.The idea seemsa to be to issue bonds in the sum of $200,000 for street , improvement and should itrbe decided for the city to own its water and sew erage systems by a vote' of the people at the polls, the General Assembly will be asked to authorize $400,000 in. bonds' for the purpose.

Another question about which there is also some difference is; that of whether the money should be expended under a street commission or tho. improvement ishould be under- tafcea through the .regular channels a& now. These matters" will all be dis cussed at the conference, and some- , agreemen't will be reached so that the bills will go to the Legislature with out friction. It is proposed to have i these elec tions at the municipal election in Mayv At the same time the "anxious vdt ers" will pass upon the, question of .. whether cr not they will have a re-, corder; if so, who that recorder shall be and also who shall be the c?erk of the court in csfss the court is voted by the people. i ;.'
