THE REAL ART CENTER
Stole The Dog
And Razors Joo
Will Edwards, a negro, was forward-
to the superior court by the Recor
der yesterday morning on two charg
es of house breaking. Not only Is he
accused of breaking into and stealing
from the home of Mr. R. L. Bartley,
?)021 Worthington Avenne, Dilwortfi,
a lot of razors and silver ware, btit
h« al»o, 80 it is alleged, stole a poodle
dog from the home. The dog, the ra
zors and the silver ware were found
at the home of Rdwards’ sister, and
."he testified he brought all there.
1 he negro Is also accused of stealing
a dotible-barreled shot gun from the
homo of another person. The gun was
easily Identified, a hole being in the
*ide of one of the barrels, as though
i lown out when the muzzle was
'lioked
■\li. Rarfley had advertised his dog
;[ lost and 1ir«1 reported to the |)Ollce
the breaking into his house and the
^■^eiilhm b\- some one of the razors. He
fi'curauly described the razors, and
New York and l^oston are now en-
;r:!^’'cd in one of those unseemly squab
bles, proinpted by jealo.isy, that are so
dl.'-tressiug to innocent bystanders,
writes the Pitt.-'burg Gazette. It be-
^an with New York’s boast that its
Metropolitan Museum of Art was vis
ited last year by 744,449 persons and
that this fact proved its position as
the art center of America. Then Bos
ton came back with the statement that
its Museum of Fine Arts had 279,000
visitors last year, a larger number in
proportion to population than the Met
ropolitan Museum could scare up. Af
ter this the mathematicians butted in,
figuring the i)robable proportion of
visitors to the respective institutions
from out of town and the purely local
patronage. The Boston statisticians
estimated that New York has from
100.000 to 200,000 out-of-state visitors
every day in the year and that a good
many of these take in the picture gal
leries. when they are not busy buying
picture postals, w'hile most of the vis-
Itars to the Moston exhibition are ac
tual inhabitants of the Hub, wearing
eye-glasses and a rising inflection. To
this New York retorts that the fame of
its art collections naturall attracts pil
grims from all parts of he country,
and that it doesn’t care what owns
hey hail from. And so it goes.
Pittsburgh’s pre-eminence as the na
tion’s art center, says the Gazette, was
recently stated by the president of
the National Academy. The attend
ance at the Carnegie Art Galleries is
about oOO.OOO a year.

WOMAN ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER OF SON
Albany. N. Y.. March IL—District
Attorney Sanford predicted this af
ternoon that if a verdict of insanity
is rendered in the case of Mrs. Edith
Melbar, who is on trial for killing
her five-year-old son, she will soon
be a free woman, uch a verdict would
send her to Mattaewan. fFom which
institution she would soon gain her re
lease because she is in delicate health
and rational in all appearance. The
district attorney regards as defective
the law that makes this possible.
It is expected that the proseciition
will close its case against Mrs. Mel-
ber on Monday.
The more noise a man can make
with his brains the less use he has

Reduced Price
Of Car Tickets
“Twenty-one car tickets for $1 in
Charlotte, and 24, 28 and 32 in Win
ston-Salem for $1.
“The above is the oi'der of things
in these tw^o prosperous town in
North Carolina. How is it that Win
ston-Salem can so far excel Charlotte
in car fares?‘*
Tis fact was tasted and this ques
tion was asked The News today by
a gentleman who has just returned
from Winston-Salem.
Six tickets, he states, are sold
there without restriction or limitation
to everybody for 25 cents, and seven
tickets to school children up to 15
years to be used by them in school
hours.
Eight tickets for 28 cents are sold
to worliing people to be used be
tween tlie hours of 5:30 a. m. and
7 a. m.. and betw^een 5:30 p. m. and
7 o’clock
These tickets can be used by any
body betw^een these hours. “How is
it that we mtits plod along and pay
the highest car fares of any town in
North Carolina, and especially when
more people are obliged lo use the
cars than possibly any other town in
the state?” asks this gentleman.
“And we are informed that it is
now being discussed by the new man
agers to stoji the sale of tickets al
together. How will this strike the
great masses of Charlotte w'ho arc
compelled to use the cars?’* |

Hawkins Supporters
Listened to lalks
In the Hawkins headquarters last
night several speeches were made
by ardent supporters of the present
ma.vor of thee ity. A goodly number
of people gathered for the evening
and the addresses were greeted with
apiause from time to time.
Now that the date of the primary
has been fixed—April 4th—both may
oralty candidates are putting forth
extra efforts to reach all of the
voters. Aldermen are lining up eith
er with Mayor Hawkins or with Dr.
Charles A. Bland w'hc also aspires to
the office. Each candidate has an or-
.ganization behind him and before
the date of the primary it is safe to
say that no one will have escaped
who can vote.
Republicans as well as dcmocrals
will participate in the primary, the
rules adopted J>y the democratic
committee permitting any male white
voter who obligates himself to sup
port the nominees, to vote. In case
a second primary is necessary it shall
be held ten days subsequent to the
first one.
The campaign thus far has been
free of all nuid-slinging. Each can
didate is placing himself before the
people upon ab usiness latform.
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont is to open a
school for farming for young women.

RESUME OF WEEK'S
DEIIllNGSi
STREET
(BY THOMAS C. SHOTWELL.)
New York. March 11.—Strength of
Canadian Pacific, weakness of Cen
tral Leather and a loss of surplus
reserves by the banks were ihe only
things to attract attention today in
the dullest market of the yeaw Trad
ing for the entire season amounted
to only about 65,000 shares.
The government's monthly report
showed that exports are still largely
in excess of impoits and are gaining
over last year. There was the nsiia!
Saturday ex))ectation of su]»reme
court decisions for iVIonday with no
more tlian the usual excuse. Leading
financiers w'ould not be disaiipointed
if these decisions did not come until
about the first of May.
Stocks had practically no market
at all throughout the week and if
there v.as any tendency at all in
prices it was upwards. Securities aie
cornered by the big men who have
been compelled to take such va^t
loads that they have now taken a
defensive position that makes it un
desirable for any person to sell. Pro
fessional selling is discouraged by
putting the stock market u]) •ifter
every attack. Investment selling is
discouraged by dropping the price on
the appearance of liquidation but
holding it firm in its absence. Thus
an equilibrium is established that is
without precedent from the history
of Wall Street.
The market in the past week has
withstood blows that would have
caused wild havoc under almost any
other circumstance. The extra ses
sion of congress caused no selling at
all because it is now understood that
the members will avoid any radical
program of tariff reform.
The Copper Producers’ Association
show^ed an increase in daily output
of the metal for February and a Ma
terial increase in the stock of the
metal on hand.
The United States Steel Corpora
tion reported an increase of imfilled
orders- on hand March 1 amounting
to 289.624 tons as compared with
thep revious month. This was some
thing of a disappointment to the
street, but it really is favorable, be
cause the plants of the company have
been operated more extensively.
Concentration of the American ar
my on the Mexican border created
considerable excitement politically,
but it was reassuring m the finan
cial world. Americans nave about a
billion dollars invested in Mexico of
wiiich about one-third is in railroads
and nearly one-haif in mining. Pres
ence of the American army in T^x-^
as insures the safa»ty of this vast in
vestment and the British investments
of fully $700^000,000 in the republic
also are insured. The civilized nations
have fully two billion dollars invest
ed in Mexico and even should the
American arm.y cross the border they
would feel safe. The incident is not
a bearish argument on stocks
The New York Central reduced its
dividend rare from six to fnp
