Real F-stHte on Mecklenburg Side of Catawba Kiver at Belmont Taken Over Believed to Mean More Double Tracking. Charlotte, Aug. Zl. Tor'ay ileedii eie filed at the county court house for many hundred feet of riifht-nf-way for Me Southern rail way on t'ie Mecklenburg side of the f'ataw-'a river near Behnont, where the railroad will soon build a new trestle to take the place of the trestle by the floods of July. In the deed filed today reference 'n iarh is made to the proposd 'oulile tra"k of the road, and therefore it appears that the Southern is finally taking definite steps to Jieirin work on the douf le track from this point touth, most of the line north of Chr lot'e finving already been douWe tracked in recent years. The deeds filed today call for strips of land along the present riirht-af- way and parallel to the same for several hunder feet, an i these strips amount to frcm a fraiction of acre up to four and five acres in area, and the prices pa d to sellers of right-of- way run as high as $1,100.

(""Williams yesterday and lie was they could not be held here past to- talking polrtics, or course, and na-; morrow. the subject of their conference at the White House last night. It is under stood the purpose of their visit was to secure from President Wilson a specific idea on how the railroads are to reimburse their treasuries for the many millions of dollars additional expense which would arise in acceed ing to the present demands for an 8-hour wage basis. The attitude of the President on this subject was not disclosed ftut the report is considered as suggesting a shewing in what direction the railroad hea s are turning in an effort to reach a conclusion. The big committee af brotherhood representatives were impatient today at the delay. W. G. Lee, head of the Trainmen's brotherhood, expressed the belief that tu rally. Rsferrin? to the fact that Congressman ' Doughton, the Demo cratic candidate, who is seeking re election, issued a challenge to Mr. Will ams for a joint canvass Mr. Williams said he was accepting the challenge and would 'be In Salisbury in a few days to perfect the details of the meeting. Mr.' Williams has a Salisbury man, Mr. R. A. Kohloss, or his manager and it Is supposed that he w'll con sult with his manager and the two men will "get-to-grther" during the cays of early autumn. The railroad employes committee showed much marked signs of unrest today after the delay in the negotia tions between President Wilson and the railway executives that the lead ers of the men were alarmed and op enly expresses fear of their ability to hold them much longer. The employes met this morning and were rthrown into an uproar by speeches from a minority which de manded immediate action unless' the roads accepted the plan but leaders succeeded in forcing an adjournment tefore any vote on any of the various them go home, leaving the brother hood heads with authority to call a strike if the railroads do not accept the plan. ' The meeting adjourned until tomor row morning at 10 o'clock. Frequently the applause over some remarks was heard a block away. "It is our belief," said one of the committeemen,, "that the railroads are playing for time with the Presi dent just as they have .done with us far many months. There is no rea- i son why they could hot have given the President an answer by this time. They are trying to tire us out and get public sentiment on their side. Thy are tiring us out alright and the men are getting disgusted with the whole situation. I think there are enough cool-headed committeemen here to continue the meeting a day or two longer but the discontent is spread ing rapidly." The possibility of passing an 8-hour law for the railroads-was discussed among several leaders but no definite progress evolved but it is understood no action will be taken unless the President's efforts fail. There were many indications that the railroaii presidents were consid ering an 8-hour day on condition that some definite assurance be given them that future disputes be aifntrated. .

Contrary to general opinion Health - Commissioner Emerson said ht had ; no reason to believe hot weather in creased the spread of infantile pira lysis. This conclusion, he added, was ( the result of an exhaustive study of the dailv temperature and humidity , since the epidemic began and the v number of new cases to occur from dav to day. Nevertheless, the commissioner said, the present hot wave will has-'' ten the death of small children who are critically ill.
