Other Local News. Special to News. ' ' Greensboro, N; C, Jan. 11. Chief of Police Neely has received a letter fron. John S. McMillan, of Roach Harbor, Washington state,, saying that John B. McMillan, in jail here charged with forgery, is a crook of the first water, if he is the individual his description and actions fit. He says that he is not related al all, but that in Nebraska sev eral years ago the same claim of John B.. McMillan there being a nephew of his was made and money obtained uy forged drafts, exactly as was the case in Greensboro and the young man serv ed a three years' sentence in the Ne braska penitentiary. One of the Greens boro McMillan's acts was to draw a draft for $15,000 on "his uncle," and writing him a "nephew letter, which he. gave his intended victim here to mail. His "uncle" got the letter and im mediately wired the fraud, the re ceipt of satd wire causing J. B.'s arrest before he could get in his big work here. Not hearing from the bank here the Washington man writes this full explanation to the chief of police. McMillan cut a pretty wide swath here financially and socially. A $150 trap he had ordered came by freight last week, but the freight on it was not paid. He paid for the trap with his not endorsed Dy a good business man here. Messrs. Broadhurst and Stern have been engaged by McMillan as counsel. He doesn't talk about his trouble in jail, and people here who treated him well in social lines are regretting his cranks amarentlv more than he. Those who endorsed his paper on his drafts seem to be suffering worse than he. Minnie Cole and Mattie McCormick, the two young white women from Dan ville, who have been in jail here since Friday on the charge of vagrancy had a hearing before the Mayor yesterday. Mayor Murphy told them he would give them a term of 30 days in jail or they might go to the Rescue Home. Since the girls have been in custody repre sentatives from the Rescue Home on West Iee street have called on them and urged them to lead a better life. This home is in charge of the Holiness church and is doing good work. The girls promptly chose the home and went there at once with the superin tendent who was on hand.

In the Recorder's Court this morn ing, P. M. Hanline, was arraigned, charged with selling whiskey to one Aaron Richardson. , The evidence before the court was, in effect, that Hanline went to Salis bury, purchased some whiskey and on his return to Charlotte, he let Richard son have a half gallon, receiving in pay one dollar. The transaction took place within the city limits and the whiskey "Was delivered to Richardson inside the city limits. " Mr. T. Li. Kirkpatrick, who repre sented Hanline, contended that the evi dence did not tend to show that his client acted as agent but simply didia neighborly act; that he was going to Salisbury and . simply brought back the whisKey as a matter of accomodation. The court contended that under the recent ruling of the Supreme Court in the Munroe Johnston case that Han line was guilty and a bond of $25 was required. This, the man gave. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that he ex pected, should the Superior Court de cide against him, to talce the case to the Supreme Court. He says he is not satisfied as to his client's guilt. The main point will be -as to the' "agency point." He believes that the decision in the Munroe Johnston case does not cover the case of Hanline. . -Lonzo Williams, a young white man, occupied a cell at the police station last night. His neighbor gave him drink and he imbibed too much.

He was fined $2.50 and the costs, which he paid. Ed. Li. Coyle, who forfeited $10 for a drunk only a few days ago ,was before the court again this morning on the same charge. He was fined $10 and the costs, the total fine amounting to $12.35. This makes $22.35 this man has paid into the city treasury in the past few days for two drunks.

A fierce and spectacular fire broke out in this city this morning, shortly after one o'clock, when the distilling plant of Wiley P.

The property was valued at about $10,000 and was largely covered by insurance. The fire is believed to have, been of incendiary origin. The alarm of fire was not turned in until the flames "had good headway and although the Asheville fire depart ment fought with all energy and every resourse in their power it availed noth ing. Within a short time the interior, inclosed by solid brick walls and filled with' very inflammable material, . in cluding a large -quantity of hay, corn and otM.er feed stuff, was a roaring in ferno, fin vain, streams of water were poured in from 'every vantage point, for the firemen only endangered their ilves by the "falling walls, and a num ber of them had close calls.

AN AMERICAN SCULPTOR. Some Account of tho Work of Young . Keyser. From the New ..York American. Ernest Wex Keyser, an American, has made the statue of Sir Galarad that is the most recent cause of pride of Ottawa, in Canaf a. It is a bronze statue and it shows the hero of the "Mort d'Authur,'" saying "If I lose myself, I v save myself.'' .-. ; The statue was erected by popular subscription to celebrate the " heroism of a young man, "Henry Alger .. Har per, who dived -into the frozen Ottawa river in December, 1901, to try to save a .young woman," Eliabeth Blair, and was drowned with he. " The sculptor was born in Baltimore, thirty-one years ago. He studied his art at the Maryland Institute, at the Charcoal Club., at the Art - Students' League here, and with two great sculp tors, Pucch and Panipt, at Paris. Au gustus St. Gaudens also had a part in Mr. Keyser's education as a sculptor. It was a liberal and very precise education. With it ho could do great things, but he was ambitious to be an artist in the manner of the Renais sance. He studied painting, philosophy, and other arts and sciences. His work expressed, ideas. His head of Ophelia, shown at the Salon, was suavely poetic: his "Soul Struggling Against 10 Weakness of the Flesh," was a harmonious group of material and : spiritual figures. He made a bust of rear. Admiral Schley, which Annapolis treasures. Then he planned the mural decora tions that .in the National Exchange Bank, at Baltimore, symbolize fire and the recovery from fire of a beautiful city. They are beautiful, classic, mural decorations. . They are a sculptor's paintings with figures moulded as. if they were to be seen in the round. The Sir Galahad that is at Ottawa has the merits of a painting in its harmony of colors. Thus Mr. Keyser emulates . aptly Ger rome.
