SEAT OF PANTS
BRINGSDEFEAT
I Combatants Had to Stop
Fight When Accident Be
fell One of Them.
How a weak seat to a pair of trous
ers proved the downfall of L. W. Van
derburg, of Charlotte, was disclosed
in the police court Thursday morning
when that individual was fined $25 and
costs for an assault on J. T. Sanders,
negro merchant of South Brevard
street.
The trounble had, its root in" a trial
several days ago in which both Vender
burs and Sanders were witnesses. Tes
timony offered at the trial by Vander
burg was contradicted by testimony
offercd by the negro. Friction was the
result.
And Vanderburg decided to carry the
matter further. Wednesday afternoon
he betook himself to the store of the
negro on South Iirevard street and
demanded why and wherefore of the
conflicting testimony. Sanders stood by
his testimony, and the word of liar,
acording to the evidence, was passed
several times.
Then the fight started. Vanderburg
put his fist in Sanders' face with some
force, following which there was a
clinch. Doth combattants went down
together on the pavement.
PANTS STOOD BY HIM
At this point, Vanderburg got a
death grip on Sanders' breeches with
the intention of lifting the negro in the
air and depositing him on tha sidewalk.
But the breeches stood by the owner.
"With a loud rip the entire seat came
out. and two birds were killed with one
stoned Vanderburg fell backwards to
the pavement, striking his face and
causing severe abrasions. Sanders gal
loped arojnd with bewildered leaps be
fU"? the astonished bystanders, and all
that was needed to give the right em
phasis to the occasion was a moving
Picture camera. The negro sought safe
ty in his store, and "soaped the fury of
Vanderburg, later swearing out a war
rant for the aault.
At one instant in the scuffle it was
alleged that Sanders threw Vanderburg
clear over his shoulders, and when
Jake Newell, attorney for the defend
ant, expressed doubt about the feat,
Sanders said:
"Well, if you'll go outside in a friend
ly way I'll show you 1 can throw you
the same way."
"By George, if I had another shirt
I'd take you up on that," returned Mr.
Newell.
In passing judgment on the case,
Judge Laurence Jcnes declared that he
positively would give the limit to all
who threatened or asaulted witnesses
in his court for any statements they
had made or might make in the future.

PRISONERS TELL
WHERE MONEY IS
Durham Officers Locate
$2,500 of Stolen Money in
Woods.
Durham, Sept. 15. Following the di
rections of prisoners in Durham county
jail, chargeed with burglary of over
$3,000, officers Saturday and Sunday
unearthed approximately $2,500 in two
Datchea of woods in Person countj'.
Those charged with burglary are: J.
C. Stokes, said to be the leader of the
gang; B. N. Cox, alleged right-hand
partner, and Lonzo Tingin, Robert
Stephens and George Bowens. It la al
leged that these men robbed the Long
Cotton Mill, Roxboro, last Thursday
night of about $3,000. Friday night
for safekeeping they were brought to
Dnrrham countv iail where they were
kept until yesterday when they were!
taken to Person county ror trial in
criminal court.
According to several of the prisoners.
Stokes committed the act of robbery
while the others guarded and assisted,
it is said. Immediately following the
robbery, it is said, the men rushed away
in an" automobile, hid a majority of
the money and then attended the Meb
ane fair. For several hours they were
unmolested, but officers finding several
rather direct clues against the men, ar
rested them and put them in jail. The
Long Cotton Mill Company went on
Bowen's bond and he was not incar
cerated in jail with the others.
Accompanied by officers after being
bonded, Bowen, and Tingen went to .
patch of woods and dug up $1,500 in
cash which, it is stated, the robbery
partv had hidden there shortly after
making the theft. This discovery was
made Saturday.
Sunday, Stokes, who was. at the time,
in the Durham county jail, wrote a
note to his wife, to be conveyed to herr
by officers, telling her where she could
locate some of the stolen money. Car
rying out her husband's instructions,
Mrs. Stokes, in company with several
officers located $900 neatly hidden in
some woods in Person county . This
had been put there, it is said, shortly
after the robbery Thursday night.
PAVING PLANS ARE
BEING WORKED OUT
City Engineer Joseph Firth is pre
paring maps and estimating the cost
of meeting petitions for the permanent
pavement of several Charlotte streets

Washhington, Sept. 15. Coast guard
oiittpra hiivp been scouting the North
Atlantic all summer so passengers and
crews of ships sailing m normern sea
may sleep without fear that an ice
berg will creep up on them in tho
night.
"These floating white castles of the
North with their fantastic glamor and
threatening, death-dealing portent, some
times wander down to latitude 38 de
grees as far south as such sunny
climes as Lisbon in Portugal or the
shores of Delaware Bay," says a bulle
ttin of the National Geographic Society,
from its AVashington. D. C, headquart
ers. "Thd iophprers which are to be seen
during the early spring months in tha
Atlantic are great irozen iresn water
glacier-ends which have broken loose
from the ice fields of Greenland and
floated with the current into warmer
seas. They 'herd' quite often off the
coast of Newfoundland. The Warm
waters of the northwestern coast of
Europe keep them back on that side
as far north as 70 degrees. There are
few of them also in the North Pacific
exofeDt near northeastern Asia.
MONSTER FLOATING PALACES.
"Gorgeously tricked out in white that
gleams and sparkles in the sunlight,
these monster palaces push out from
the great sheet of ice that covers
Greenland. No architectual feat of the
ancient Egyptians or of the Byzantines,
or of a Sir Christopher "Wren can com
pare with the Karnaks and hundreds
of other temples which are carved in
their sides by the agents of erosion.
No marble possesses the rainbow-tints
of their columns, and no man-made edi
fice has so fairylike, capricious, and
bizarre a character. The whole gamut
of blues and greens play hide and
seek over their surface, and sometimes
in summer little cascades tumble over
the sides to hide themselves in the
waves. But their ghostlike emptiness
and the chill of their breath make ma
riners shiver with dread.
"Most of the icebergs of the North
Atlantic are pushed out from the west
coast of Greenland between Disco Bay
and Smith Sound or from the oast
coast south cf 68 degrees latitude. Some
of them are as much as 445 feet a"bove
the surface of the water, thf being
about one-sixth or one-seventh of their
volume.
"As they sail away they necessarily
start with some of the debris which was
originally in the bottom of the glacier.
Much of this immediately falls to the
bottom of the ocean, having melted its
way out. Often they capsize or flop
on one side "when the breaking or melt
ing shifts theeir centers of gravity. The
debris, when it is on the top quickly
plows its way through the iceberg, hav
ing absorbed more of the heat of the
sun than the ice does. When it is on
the side it soon slides into the ocean.
At any rate the debris seldom stays with
the berg far on its journey. Nothing
seems to mar the isurity of the ice
berg, exteridr. They support! little
lite, a minute worm and the simple mi
crosopic aglae, which gives a red color
to snow, being their only inhabitants.
"The icebergs of the Antarctic re
gions are larger than those of the Arc
tic, but not so tall perhaps. They are
portions of the enormous ice sheet
around the South Pole, which break
off in tablelike blocks and float away
as grim sentinels of the southern wa
ters. One explorer reports that at one
time he counted as many as sixty from
the deck of his steamer, while more
than that could be seen from his mast
head. "Like mighty derelicts, dwarfing our
largest battleships into utter insignifi
cance, their sides sometimes measuring
from thirty to forty miles in length
when they first break off from the Ross
Barrier, they float out into the depths
where the warmer winds and seas eat
out ther very cores, undermine them,
make them turn turtle, and finally
break them up into smaller bergs and
hard small chips called 'growlers.' The
'growlers' are as dangerous as the
mother iceberg."
SEF-SHINING SHOE
DEVICE EXHIBITED
"Shine your own shoes and save
time, money and labor," is a motto
evolved by J. L. Bender, a Charlotte
man, who has invented a machine with
which one may easily shine his own
shoes. The United States Government
has granted him two. patents on the
machine and he is preparing to put
them on the market for sale at an early
date, being now engaged in negotia
tions with several people to that end.
The machine is as simple as it is in
genious and a demonstration by Mr.
Bender as to Its method of operation
has convinced those who have seen It
that the instrument is as practical in
operation as a comb, hat brush, or any
other accessory that requires little ex
ertion and not much outlay in cash
to buy.

VISITOR TELLS
OF GREAT FISH
Norway Waters Supposed'
to Contain Water Animal
Larger Than Whale.
That certain seaside dwellers of Nor
way believe that a water animal of tre
mendous size larger than any known .n
habitant of the sea, frequents the Nor
wegian seas is verified by Charles E.
Purnell, travelling salesman of Knox
ville, Tenn. Mr. Purnell visited Nor
way in the summer of 1920.
"During my short stay in Norway,"
said Mr. Purnell, "I was attracted oy
the curious-looking cuttlefishes which
abound in those waters, and while dis
cussing them with some fisherman near
Stavanger, Norway, they related th-i
following story to me.
"They declared that many of the
fishermen along the coast had seen "at
various times a strange animal that
seemed to rise from the sea like : n
island. It was enormous in bulk, many
times larger than any whale ever re
corded. From somewhere comes a
fable that the mighty water anim.il
stretches out great arms that draw
ships to destruction, and that when
the thing sinks to the bottom of tha
sea it causes immense .whirlpools
which are large enough to ack down
ships. The fishermen declared that
many times the giant thing had bee.i
seen to rise out of the sea.
HISTORY OF ANIMAL.
"Being naturally a lover of the .?a
I endeavored to investigate the story
still further, and I found that there in
a history of Norway by a man named
Pontoppidan. in- which he stated tht.t
he had actually seen the thing. From
other sources, however, I learned that
it was entirely reasonable to suspect
that the great water animal is a form
of octopus, which by its hideous writh
ing arms appears to be really largor
than it is. These octopi frequently ap
pear just off the coast of Norway, and
there is much reason to believe that
they exist much larger than any ever
actually recOKded. There is an ancient
Roman storyhat one of these giar:
animals impeded the navigation of the
Straits of Gibraltar.
"Of course, no actual foundation ex
ists to the story as far as is known,
but the curious forms of sea life
abounding around Norway readily lea l
one to believe in such freaks. For in
stance, there is one curious fish that
I saw with my own eyes which is ex
tremely eccentric. It is a fairly large
cuttlefiesh that lays all over the mod
ern battleships when it comes to
throwing out a 'smoke screen.' Thi3
strange fish secretes a kind of ink-HUi
iluid when in danger. The stuff turns
the water completely black in the Mic
tion where it swims, and it is impos
sible to accurately locate it.
"There are other forms of such Ash
along the Norwegian coast that swim
by spurting out a stream of water
from a small sack near the gills. The
water is quickly drawn into these sacks
and then pushed out with much foree.
serving as a propeller which carrier
the fish in the direction it desires t

QUARTET RANKS
WITHTHE BEST
Metropolitan Singers Are
Proving Big Attraction
of Exposition.
The most unanimous opinion on any
subject at the Made-ln-Carolinas Ex
position last night at the close of the
musical program was that Frank Cutii
bert, basso-baritone of the Metropoli
tan quartet, is one of the most pleas-
intr olnoura nf VllS kind that has been
to Charlotte in a long while. He had
made a great impression by his sieg
ing with the quartet and the Exposition
patrons had eagerly awaked an op
portunity to hear him in solo.
The opportunity came last nighr.
when he was on the program lor
Poniatowski's "The Yeoman's Wedding
Song." Mr. Cuthbert sang tnis sienna
song with an understanding sympathy
and an interpretative quality that was
a delight to the most critical in His
audience and that showed him to be a
splendid musician. His voice is one of
those splendid organs bestowed by
heaven and made, melliflously perfect by
careful training. Singing at the dis
advantage that always goes with open
air concert work, his voice yet carri2d
splendidly and with all its reson.tnt
qualities to the outermost fringes cf
that big audience. .
That his voice is one of exceptior.al
power as well as of melodic excellence
was demonstrated by an incident. A
passing railway train near the Exposi
tion grounds tor a few moments mado
a din but not such a din that ths
basso's voice was lost to his audienc
giving ample justification for Harvey
,B. Gaul's encomium in The Pittsburg
Post "that his style is gorgeous, -lis
diction excellent and his style com
mendable." Last night also gave the first oppor
tunity to judge of real quality of Miss
Charlotte Peegee's voice. She is thy
contralto of the Metropolitan quartot.
With Mr. Troxell, tenor, she sang
"Home To Our Mountains," from "II
Trovatore," and it is safe to say tin
great old number was never rendered
to better. advantage before a Chariot t-i
audience. Miss Peege's . voice is vital
and luscious with velvet quality of
resonance that reaches the innermost
of the music-lover. She put vibrant,
puissant passion into the tones, and
yet had the deep spiritual quality for
which Verdi's masterpieces of song de
mand. 'So well did the audience like the num
ber that it vociferously insisted upo:i
an encore. A portion of the sonj
was repeated. The rich, warm ton.'5
of , .he contralto voice stood out in
splendid effect all the way thrugh And
constituted one of the cameo-like gems
in a mosaic of musical excellence.
