SECOND CONFERENCE IN THE LEGISLATURE Bill Passed Requiring Adjutant Gen eral to Live in Raleigh Justice To Eliminate Solicitor's Salary Feature From His Measure. Matter ill Be Gone Into Anew By Two Boards and Something Deft-'-nlte Will be Agreed Upon Mat ter Discussed. A mous created a panic in a Vien na theatre. If It was an audience of women It was unanimous. "Might doesnt make right," but there Is as HtOo us to kic against It as to kick against the pricks. -The bad place Is full of people who smoke tobacco." says a New Jersey, minister. He seems o thing Old Nick will make them emoke for it Ex-President Grorer Ctareland will dearer the principal address In Chlca go on Washington's Birthday. Some of his phrasing will make President .Roosprrlt's slmDlefled spelling iook like 30 cents. Probably one of the factors militat ing against 12-cont cotton is the cotton of India, which Is said to be a record-breaker 5.105.000 bales. The acreage. It Is said, was nearly 1.000, 000 larger than the prerions year. It is stated that a Mr. Gong, of Leavenworth. Kan. was married a few days ago. As th. Spring millinery opening will soon be here Gong may as well prepare to b? struck for an Easter hat. Tho State of Delaware proposes to double the railroad tax. but wants It understood It Is not because of anti railroad feeling, but because the State needs the money. It might be added that It Is also easier to Jump on the railroads at this time. i i1 Remarks the Norfolk-Virginian Pi Jot: "Miss Harriett Saxe Is certain that -the working girl has come to stay." She doesn't at our house." She could prove an alibi all along-the line, especially If she's colored. Mayor Waddell stated yesterday af ternoon after an interview with Chair man McQueen, of yie Doard of Audit and Finance that he was calling another conference of the two boards of the city government for tonight to consider de novo the proposed street ordinance. ' The matter Is regarded or much Im portance not only by the Mayor, Al dermen and members of the Hoard of Audit and Finance but by the people at large, who arc very desirous of seeing an equitable bill framed and the bond Issue carried at the polls. Ways and means of providing for a comprehensive plan of permanent street Improvement by bond Issue with no hardship on the people and at the same time fair to the city are now being devised by City Attorney Marsden Bellamy. Jr., and others of the two boards and it Is proposed at the conference tonight to decide upon some plan that will engender least op position at the polls and win result in the so much desired Improvement at-J the earllst oosslble moment. The Idea of having the work undertaken by a non-political street commission seems to have taken deep root among the people and this plan will be strongly advocated at the conference. While Wilmington now has the sec ond largest property valuation of any city In the State, she Is sixth in the amount of her bonded indebtedness and could very well afford a bond Is sue of large proportions for streets without an additional tax levy, as the amount now expended annually for permanent Improvement would well take care of a bond issue and sinking fund for an issue of at least $500,000. Whether it will be decided at the con ference to go that far or not, will de pend upon the plan adopted as to the pro rata share of the cost of the Im provement, if any. to be borne by the property owners. There Is a strong sentiment to exact nothing from abut ting property owners except that which wUI naturally accrue In the way of added tax valuations, which seems after all. to be the way to make the burden fall least heavy on the taxpay ers as street and sidewalks are en joyed quite as much by the general Aldermen and Board of Audit and Finance Will Meet To-Night. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh. N. C. Feb. 11. There was THE PROPOSED STREET BILLlmucn gratification hereabouts at the passage by the Senate cf the bill to requlra the A'djutant General of the North Carolina National Guard to re side In Raleigh during his term of of fice, xhs salary being increased to $1, G00 per year. Adjutant General T. R. Robertson moved here from Charlotte several months ago under instructions from Gov. Glenn, confident that a bill requiring the'ehange to be permanent would be passed by the Assembly. It was he'd up a week or two, but there is every assurance the House will con cur In the action of the Senate and make the bill a law. Speaker Justice, of the House, has asked the Judiciary Committee of the senate auow mm to sxriKe out an the sections of his bill enlarging the powers of the Attorney General, which haa pas.3ed the House, except tho3e particular conferring on the Attor ney General the right and power to In vestigate public service corporations. Institute actions against then? and send for persons and papers. He wants especially to eliminate the-feature as to solicitors, making them assisUots to the Attorney General and putting them on salaries, as the Senate has al ready passed a bill as td solicitor's salaries. The committee has consent ed to the curtalJment of the bill, but ha not yet decided on the vital ques tlca of "favorable" or "unfavorable" report It Is suspected that a very strong following in the Senate does not look with high favor on the bill which certainly gives an Attorney General of the State very sweeping powers, susceptible of a dangerous abuse if that official was Inclined to "make trouble" for these companies, whether they were real'j. abuses or not.

The shortage wiJl be in the neighborhood of $45,0004 There is some uncollected taoc to be taken from this amount. The net shortage will be at least $25,000, if not $35,000. The bondsmen will meet in Clinton to-morrow and pay the amount due the State, which is about $5,000.

TWO RESIDENCE FIRES From present. Indications the pres ent municipal election, .will see a larg er number of candidates before the people than ever before. While die race for Mayor, thus far, has been narrowed down to two, there are many candidates, some embroyo and some avowed, in nearly all the wards and the friends of these are already putting up a stiff campaign among the "sovereign" voters of the several po litical divisions of the city. The most important official an nouncement this morning, is that of ex-Mayor William E. Springer, who has yieJded to a strong following in all the wards, and will make the race to the finish. Mr. Springer has served the city as Mayor before and the aver age voter does not ifeed to be told what he may expect from his admin istration of. affairs. .

Parsley's name as a possible candidate in the Fourth ward,- was used without his auithority by his friends and he says that under no con sideration would he serve, if elected. He (has business affairs that require all his time. Alderman Karr, of the old Beard, has stated to his friends that he will be a candidate for re-election and the announcement of Alderman, King for re-election was contained in the Sun day paper.

Croom and William Motte. well known young white men of the city, engaged in a lively personal encoun ter last night about 10 o'clock In front of the saloon. Motte got decidedly the -orst of the affray, suffering several bruises and a slight cut in the cheek. Croom. who claims that Motte preced ed him out of the saloon, says that he was acting In self-defense and used no deadly .weapon, that he waited In the saloon a while for Motte to go on after he left the place, but that as soon as he (Croom) came out of the door, Motte accosted him, and there was nothing to do but show the white feather or fighL He preferred the lat ter. Motte was sent to the hospital by the police and was later charged wrth engaging In an affray, at the station bouse. Croom went to Justice John J.' Furlong and gave himself up. the trial being set for Wednesday at 12 o'clock. Motte Is not at all seri ously hurt, and Croom has only a slight abrasion on the Up. The shouts In the street attracted a very large crowd, and there was some ex citement for the time, many believing that Motte was seriously hurt. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. W. EI Springer For Mayor.

Equally as many called yesterday to tender their condolences to the bereaYed ones and to express their sorrow at the death of one so useful In the church and the several organization of ladles to- which she belonged. Mrs. Price before -marriage was Miss Duralde Stockton, of Statesville, N. C. a daughter of the late John W. and Margaret Stockton. Besides her devoted husband, she Is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. E. Borden, of Wil mington, and Mrs. Harrell, of States ville. A brother Mr. Frank Stockton, of Memphis. Tenn., preceded her to the grave by several years. Mrs. Price was a most estimable woman and had devoted much of her life to the church and charitable and patri otic causes. For 25 years she was a teacher in the Sunday School of th First Presbyterian Church and took an active and leading part In all the work making for the social and moral uplifting of the young people espe cially of that congregation. She was also a leading member of the North Carolina Sorosis and of the Daughters of the Confederacy. She was ever ready to lend a helping hand in what ever served to the furtherance of any good cause espoused by the church or society organizations to which she belonged. A consecrated Christian woman, her presence and mnuence In the church and the community will be sadly missed for years to come. The funeral of Mrs. Price will be conducted at 11 o'clock this morning from the First Presbyterian Church and the Interment will be In Oakdale cemetery. Out of respect to Alder man Price, who Is chairman of the committee, acting for the Mayor, the Public Library will be closed today from 11 to 12 o'clock. This is doubly appropriate, for not only has Alder man 'Price been quite active In sup port of the library, but Mrs. Price was a leading member of Sorosis, which made it possible, for the city to have a pudiic iiDrary ai ail. Home of Mr. A. W. Anderson Badly Damaged Another Sunday. The damage to the reisdence and contents at the home of Mr. A. W. Anderson, General Superintendent of the Atlantic Coast Line, Sunday morn ing is estimated at $6,500; The build ing is owned by the estate of Mrs. M. L. Holladay and it was insured with J. H. Boatwright & Son and oth ers for $7,000 while Mr. Anderson carried $2,000 on household furnish ings with the agency of Captain J. VanB. Metts. The residence was practically gutted by fire. The origin of the fire is still unknown but there is a suspicion that it was of incendi ary origin though there is no clue. The fire was first discovered by Mr. E. B. Moss, proprietor of The Oasis, as he was returning to his home in the vicinity after closing his place of bus iness for the night, ilr. Moss saw only a slight blaze at first and think ing that he saw some one moving around the rear of the house, he went on home at the same time keeping a look out in the direction he had seen the light. Later when it showed signs of increasing in brilliancy, he sentjn a telephone alarmand hurried back to wake up the occupants of the house In the meantime others had been aroused and were assisting members of the family out of the then rapidly burning house. The alarm of fir,e at 9:10 o'clock Suunday night from box 53 was on account of a blaze in one of the new houses recently built by Captain R. M. Mclntyre; No. 3 North Ninth street, and occupied by Mr.-W. E. Farmer. The blaze seemed to have started un der the building and swept clear through from rear to front. The damage to the household furnishings of Mr. Farmer upon which he had no insurance Is estimated at $300 while that to the building is estimated at from $500 to $700; covered by Insur ance. This fire is also believed - to have been of incendiary origin. Mem bers of the family had retired and had The Office. Mascot Turns Up With His Anatomy Somewhat Chewed.. The dingy interior of the Star office rang witih a shout1 early last night. The prodigal fox terrier, -Jack, the -mascot of the-shop who had been out sharing husk with the swine, for three days, waltzed in just before the supper hour, a little disfigured, but still in the ring. He had seen the notice in the paper about the great anxiety he was causing certain satellites at the office for which he stands sponsor and came in of -his own accord. He first en countered "Boss" Huband, foreman of the job office, who was dissolving some of the grime of his daily toil in a solution of water and soap on the back porch, and then the ' truant hur ried in to shake hands all around. He gave no account of himself, but two very ragged ears and a patch or two of hide hopelessly missing from "his anatomy, gave every evidence that he had fallen among thieves, and was glad to get back. A' drum-head court martial was immediately convened, and Jack was ordered to the bastile for 30 days. He plead guilty to all sorts of improper conduct and his re turn of his own accord was all that saved him a sentence to the coal room for life. UNIFORMS FOR THE JACKIES Naval Reserves Receive New Equip ment Prospects of a Boat. Wilmington Division, Naval Re serves, has just received from the Quartermaster's Department of the North Carolina National Guard, an en tirely new equipment of uniforms in white and blue. They are of the reg ulation pattern and the jackies will appear on the next public occasion in much prettier uniform. The uniforms arrived Saturday and have been issued to the men. Lieutenant Commander H. M. Chase is advised by the War Department through Colonel George L. Morton, who- is ever interested in the Naval Brigade of the State, that the pros pects are now very bright for the as signment of a ship to the use of the sailors In the service and that the boat will be stationed at Wilmington. The ship will be occupied by the Wil mington Division as headquarters when she arrives. The naval reserves of several other States have been as- siCTied shins from the service and it a bad experience with smoke which is expected that North Carolina s turn filled the house in dense volume.
