BAND CONCERTS
MAY BEFE ATURE
Mayor Walker is After
Shrine Organization to
Give Programs at Parks.
"Weekly band concerts at Independ
ence and Latta Parks will be one of
the entertainment features of the sum
mer months in Charlotte, if a scheme
planned by Mayor Walker material
izes.
His plan is to have the Shrine band
and the Charlotte Concert band, both
composed of skilled musicians, play in
the two parks at least one night a week.
He suggested the plan to the Shrine
Band Monday night and Director Bob
Keesler and the members "fell fnr it'"
A committee was named from the
Shrine band which, with Mayor Walker
is to discuss the proposal with lead
ers of the Charlotte Concert Band.
Members of the concert band told a rep
resentative of The Charlotte News Tues
day that their band likely would be
greatly interested in the proposal too.
The Shrine band gave its first public
concert or tne summer from the bal
cony Of the Red Vr7. nluh TVTnnrtnv
night and hundreds of citizens in scores
of automobiles lined South Tryon street
to hear the music. Mayor Walker sug-
gesiea tne proposal tor public concerts
following the miisir . Mftnda v nicVit
If the two bands agree to the plan,
the city will erect a stand for them in
the two parks. A schedule for concerts
can oe worKea out wnicn will not in
convenience the band members, it was
said, and which will afford the Char
lotte public nights pf enjoyment.
One band likely,; will play one week
and the other band the next week, or
two concerts may be given a week. It
may be possible for the, bands to com
bine on occasions. These details must
be worked out after the agreement of
the members has been otained to give
the concerts.
The Charlotte Concert band was or
ganized some months ago and the mem
bers have been devoting one night
each week for several weeks to practic
in. The Shrine band also practices
each week. Eugene Hayes is director
of the concert band and C. M. Farris

TELLS DANGERS
OF ARCTIC TRIP
Amundsen's Vessel Disabled
by a Terrible Storm
Frozen in Ice.
Nome, Alaska, June 20. Masses of
early Arctic ice last August locked in
a rigid grip the vessel Maude, on which
Roald Amundsen, discoverer, of the
South Pole, hoped to drift past the
North Pole and a terrible storm swept
the schooner ashore, 90 miles from
Cape Serge, and smashed her propeller,
he said here today.
Captain Amundsen appeared In Nome
last Friday with the tidings that his
ship was disabled and he would have
her towed to Seattle for repairs, later
returning to the exploration..
"When I left Nome early last Au
gust," the explorer related "I proceeded
in the vicinity of Cape Serge, where I
was to pick up a native family to add
to the crew, but the ice conditions were
the worst in years, and we were forced
to lay to for two weeks during which
time it was impossible to reach shore."
Captain Amundsen explained that
three weeks were required to cover the
ninety , miles between East Cape and
Cape Serge. " The Maude had lost one
propellor, going through the northeast
passage in 1919, and 1920, she is a
twin screw type and was pushing
ahead with ' her" remaining propellor.
"While working the vessel into Cape
Serge, a blinding blizzard swept the
sea. We had all our anchors out, but
the ice floes pushed everything ashore,
where we found the other propellor out
of commission, but no other damage
apparently."
There was no chance to escape, he
added. The schooner was frozen in
for the winter.
Between January 31 and April 10, Dr.
Sverdrup and Oscar Wisting, two, of
the Maud's company, ventured out into
the Arctic winter, and made an exten
sive magnetic survey of the interior
country.
On May 27, Amundsen left the
Maude and went to East Cape to await
the arrival of a chance ship which
might - take him to Nome. At East
Cape he was the guest of Charles Car
pendale, a fur trader
Captain Amundsen said natives on
the Dromede Islands, informed of his
plight, told a Captain Pedersen, of
the schooner Herman, who lost no time
in going to his rescue. Captain
Amundsen told him natives at Prince
of Wales Island were starving and
Captain Pedersen stopped to give them
food from the ship's stores. The trip
to Nome was uneventful thereafter.
AUTO THIEVES HAVE
HIT CHESTER HARD
Chester, S. C, June 21. Automobile
thie'es have hit Chester a terrific lick
within the past few days, but fortu
nately all cars were found. '
The first car was a touring car of
a popular make that was stolen from
in front of a movie here Saturday
night. It belonged to Mr. W. A. Bar
nett. Yesterday afternoon it was found
in Columbia, S. C, and Johnny Boone
placed in custody. Boone is unknown
in Chester. He drove the car through
Blackstock, located about 12 miles from
Chester, and stole a license tak there
and replaced the tag on Mr. Barnett's
car.
Dr. W. E. Anderson, a prominent den
tist of Chester, had his high-priced tour
ing car stolen Sunday morning while
he was attending services at Purity
Presbyterian church. The theft was
made by soldiers, it is said. The car
ran into a deep ditch about nine miles
from' Chester, near Blackstock. The
soldiers tried to get help, but at that
time it was pouring " rain in torrents
and no one cared to go out and get
wet, so the soldiers made their getaway.
A rather singular part of the affair
was that one of the soldiers left his
raincoat in the car. bearing the name,
"V. Norwood." In one of the pockets
was the picture or a beautiful woman,
The police here and other nearby points
are working hard on - the case today
and it is thought there may be some
interesting developments in this case,
as the police have, excellent clues to
work on. . . .
There is a Ford automobile in Ches
ter that is awaiting for its owner to
return. Saturday it' was driven into
a negro quarter by a strange looking
white man, who announced that he
wished to leave the car there a short
while, however,' up to Sunday night no
one had. called for the car. so tne car
was called to the attention of the po
lice department and it was brought to
the municipal building, where it is wait
ing quietly for some one to call for it.
MILLS GET VERDICT
AGAINST N. P. SLOAN

a jury in superior court Monday af
ternoon in favor of Rhyne-Anderson

Gottschalk & company against J. A. ,
Fasnacht when the jury returned a

fendant, after the judge's charge had
specified that the decision .was to be

one or the other of the litigants, a i
The court was to taKe up mesaay
