Many Tar Heels Left
On The Special Trams
Several score football enthusiasts
from Charlotte and immediate vicin
ity left Charlotte last night on the
two "specials" for Richmond, va., to
witness the great Thanksgiving game
there today Between the Universities
of North Carolina and Virginia. The
trains were equipped with a full ac
commodation of sleeping cars. They
picked up many more Tar Heels en
route.
Considerable local interest centered
in the Richmond game this year and
Tar Heels, in spite of the adverse
chances for North Carolina to win
the contest, feel confident that the
"White and Blue" men will be the
victors.
North Carolina players have long
since realized that, if they expect
to win, they will have to put the
best piece of ball playing against
Virginia that they are capable of.
And, too, Virginia, from all accounts
is over-confident of winning. These
conditions may, as adverse condi
tions have in past years, result in a
Tar Heel victory.

Panic Has
Done Good
Comptroller Metz, of New
York, Says Things Are
on Better Basis he
Doesn't Bel ieve in a
Commission Form.
"The commission form of govern
ment may work for a small city like
Galveston or Houston but I've no
faith ip it for a great city like New
York or the others. It . is not so
much men as methods that is needed
in municipal government today."
Thus spoke Comptroller Herman A.
Metz, of New York city, today as a
News man approached him in the
office of Mr. Geo. A. Stevenot. in
charge of the branch office here of
the H. A. Metz Company, dye stuffs
and chemicals. Mr. Metz is on a
brief visit to his branch offices in this
city and Atlanta.
Mr. Metz is a leading Democratic
of Greater New York and may be
the "next mayor of the city, as he
is said to have strong support in
my quarters for that position. His
success as comptroller has paved
the wav towards a successful run
for the higher honor.
Continuing to sneak of the com
mission form of government, he said
"T believe a big citv should be
governed like a big corporation with
its president answerable to the direct
ors. Three men eould not run tne
affairs of a great city like New York.
We have been considering the revis
ion of our charter and this question
of adopting a Commission form of
government came and we decided
that it would not work with us, and
rejected it."
Mr. Metz is not an ardent Bryan
Democrat and thinks that the fault
of his small vote in New York city
this year was due to himself and
not to the party in the city. He
quoted what somebody said about
Bryan, that he began running for
the presidency too early in life. Mr.
Metz thinks that it would be a mis
take for Mr. Bryan to be a candidate
again. Personally, he declares, he
has the greatest admiration for the
man but thinks he asked all he
ought to from the party.
"The Democratic party," declared
Mr. Metz, "must cease being a party
of opposition and stand for some
thing more constructively."
Doesn't Want More Protection.
Mr. Metz stopped a day in Wash

Where He Testified in
The Interest Of Bond
borgery.
Mavor T. S. Franklin . returned to
the city this morning from New York
where he went early in the week to
assist the district attorney's office in
the prosecution of one Samuel Citrone,
who, it is alleged, is responsible tor
theTorgery of bond No. 1 of the city
of Charlotte.
Mr. Franklin, when seen in his office
in the municipal building this" after
noon, said the case was being vigorous
ly pressed and Citrone and his con
federates, if convicted, will be pun
ished severely.
"Two arrests haver been made," said
the mayor. "Citrone was apprehended
lajSt week and one Samuel Rosenblatt
has since been arrested, but as there
was not sufficient evidence against him
he was discharged.
Citrone swears that Rosenblatt has
in his possession or knows where they
may be found, eight coupons. Another
coupon vas founi in the street on Wall
Street. '
.Mr. Franklin said he did not think
that the presence of either himself or
City Treasurer Wearn would be re
quired in New York when the case
was again? called. He was the only
witness from Charlotte who was call
ed at the trial Tuesday and his testi
mony would not have been necessary,
only in view of the fact that he enter
ed the ccmpiamt.
It came out in the evidence at the
trial, as stated by two w4tnesses, that
a firm in Eastside had exhibited some
time in September the forged bond
No. 1 in its show wiriow as being for
sale, and the investigation now pend
ing shows rather questionable proceed
ings on .the nart of the firm.
Before leaving New York Citrone's
lawyer came to Mr. Franklin and ask
ed him, in the presence f a dozen wit
nesses, if the forged bond was recov
ered and turned over to the proper au
thorities would he, Mr. Franklin drop
the complaint against his client. Mr.
Franklin's rebly was:
"Bring us the bond and I'll tell you
what I'll do."
