Such ;r?urance will be paid, Its holders 3v, but the payments will be handled overly- The fifty thousand bales of cotton, presenting $2,000,000 cash, still snicked today in the burned area with scire abated energy, showing that some portion of - the $2,000,000 was sr in unconsumed if only some means -'.;id be found to get the fire out of ie stubborn material. Cotton men issert that a considerable amount or geod cotton could be salvaged from the interior of the partly burned rales. Firemen poured water on the' cot ter, and most of the burned district ali night. Much of the burned district houBed cefroed and the childlike humor of tieir race bust forth even during the telght of the fire. A crowd pi negroes watched wiiy.e- canoaa oi nams sizzling ana frying. Temporarily the rest of the re did not seem to interest them. Charlie FavoT Jr., the infant who tphs ill with meningitis, and "whose mother, the only person who dared to rescue him, sat all night in a :oll, deserted shanty holding him in her arms, was reported at the deten tion camp today as doing well. An other child ill. "with meningitis and driven out by the fire, -also 'was taken ro the camp." Both of them have prob ably better medical attention and for chance for life at the camp than :h.ey would have had at home. Complete lists of the injured show that almost without exception flying shingles at times almost like blazing arrows. Relief work went forward rapidly today. Thousand dollar checks from the wealthy and humble baskets ot tread from the poor came into char ity headquarters with all sorts of other contributions. A remarkable feature of the fire is the absolute cleanliness today of. the flame swept district. The northwest gale swept rpariv all the ashes away alone wrth the smaller debris. Now the district looks as it it naa Deen gone over with a gigantic broom. The International & Great North em Railroad, a Gould line, appears to have been the heaviest loser among the railroads. Two miles of its tracks was practically destroyed with 53 box cars, 22 of which were .oaded with cotton. The Southern Pa cific lost 21 cars, ten loaded with cotton, and several blocks of side tracks. . : I j.. Day With Woodrow Wilson By Associated Press. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 22.

STREET CAR JUMPS TIC A car on the Seversville division cf the Charlotte Street Railway left the track this morning at 9 o'clock and turned 'on its side. How it was that the fifteen passengers aboard the' car at the time escaped injury seems won derful to those involved, but the con ductor in charge of the car explains if by the statement that the car was traveling at a very low rate of speed, not more than two miles an hour. Those on the car declare, that the speed was greater than two miles, but say that it was traveling, slowly and think that this possibly accounts for the absence of injury to the passen gers. The rear trucks of the car left the track and this, brought the car to a standstill. At the same time the car careened, finally resting on its side. Great excitement prevailed among the passengers on the car at the time, and many made efforts to escape, but be fore they- could get-out the car had come to a stop, and when an inven tory of the passengers was taken it was found that none was hurt. The Seversville line was blocked until the wrecker could be sent out and replace the car on the track. No other line was affected by the accident and traffic was soon restored there. Police Supervision of laxicabs Uiged By Associated Press. New York, Feb. 22. Sharp police supervision of taxicab chauffeurs is urged by members of the police de partment as a means of preventing the numerous automobile robberies which are being perpetrated daily by bands of motor car highwaymen. In vestigation of automobile chauffeurs in the city show that no less than 20 licensed chauffeurs have served terms in state prison while over 100 chauf feurs are said to, have criminal rec ords. ' The detection of crimes, such as the recent holdups of bank messengers is made extremely difficult by the taxi cab which is used as a get away. Many of the chauffeurs with criminal rec ords came here as strike breakers, and while the police know them, they are powerless to do anything until the chauffeurs are detected in the act of committing the crime.

MYERS PARK TO BE SHOW SPOT DF f IRLOTTE When the work now under way in Myers Park is completed y along the line of the plans selected by the Steph ens Company that will be one of the show spots of the city of Charlotte. Thousands of dollars are being ex pended by the company in developing this suburban community along the lines followed! in the developing of a community adjacent to the - city or Richmond, Va., but here the plans will be more elaborate than in Virginia, and will cover 1,200 acres, a' third the eize of the city of .Charlotte. Alon both sides of all the streets is being planted trees which will add materially to the beauty and comfort of the community. This applies to all streets except the Boulevard, which will carry a double line of trees. One line will be along the sidewalks on either side, while the other lines will be along the park area which will ex tend the entire length of the boule vard. In this park area will lie ' the street car tracks, there being two of these, afforumg the very best possible communication between all parts of the park and with-Charlotte as well. At this time two kinds of trees are bsing planted. WThite and water oaks for- permanent growth are being set and between - these are being placed Lombardy poplars which will afford shade until the slower growing and longer lived trees come into a size suf ficient to afford sufficient shade. As soon as the oaks are large enough the poplars- will be cut out leaving the entire shade scheme of the park com posed of hardy trees. Open-AIr Skating Rink. Mr. Stephens, who i3 devoting con siderable time and attention to the development of this property, announc es that as soon as the weather will permit not less than three-quarters of a mile of five-foot concrete sidewalk will be laid around a block near the entrance to the park, whereon all the little folks of the neighborhood and of the city as- well, will be welcome to skate to their heart's content. The contract for the paving has not yet been let, but will be within the next week or 10 days, according to pres-i ent plans. At this time a contract for not less than two miles of sidewalk will be let, and from itme to time contracts for laying sidewalk through out the entire community will be let. Grading Streets. The Stephens Company has a porta ble steam shovel in this property grad ing streets. To do this work by means of men with picks and shovels would consume too much time and at the same time would not be so unsatisfac tory, so the contract for the grading was let to sorter & Johnson who sent out a steam shovel, and no delay, ex cept that occasioned by the weather, has occurred. . Two heavvy fills have been made and the work of grading will soon be completed. The concrete . work, aside from tne sidewalks, is now being done by Mr, J. W." Haas, of this city. Street Car Line. The material for the street car line through this property is in the city and as soon as weather condl tiorts will permit work will start. The steel and the cross ties are ready to be laid. The grading for the car line will be complete by the time thew orkmen are ready to lay the ties and no delay will be occasioned, it is said. When the car line is laid no part of the entire 1,200 acres will be more than two blocks from the car line and wil have all modern conveniences Plan to Group Homes. It is the plan, of the Stephens- Com pany to group homes on blocks, where it is possible and practicable. By grouping is meant the placing of only a few homes on a block, grouped in such a manner as will conceal any outhous es which would be grouped, say, in the center of the block, and screened by hardy shrubs or otherwise. This- sys tem has been in successful operation in other suburban properties for sev eral years and will not be an experi ment in this city. The Stephens Com pany will pay the cost of the land scape gardening plans for suhh blocks- are are occupied by people who deside to lend assistance to this plan and who will co-operate, each with the other, looking to the making of this community a thing of beauty. For a City Beautiful. "It is the intention of the compa ny," said Mr. Stephens, "to lend all possible assistance to the plan to make cnarlottea city beautiful, and wa be lieve that the system upon which we are working will operate toward this end . more speedily than by another plan we could have devised.

Fifth St., Drunks Must 1 ell Where They Got It Recorder Smith Announces that Hereafter Every Man Charged With Drunk eness ' Must Tell Where He Got Whiskey. Hereafter every person who is haled before Recorder Smith, charged with drunkenness, will have to answer the question of where and from whom he obtained his whiskey. V This is the announcement made by the recorder and it was., put into ac tive practice yesterday morning when D. E. Long was sentenced to rest ten days in jail for failing to recall who sold him a pint of whiskey on Tues day. He Stated after a little prodding of his memory by the recorder that he bought it from a man at the' Royal Club, but he did not know the man's name, he 'said, and couldn't even iden tify him. He finally convinced the po lice that he did not know whothe man was who sold him the liquor and was released after he had given a $100 bond for his appearance at court on March 5 to testify in another whiskey case. , ' :; r In the nature of the case the adop tion of this method by the recorder must result in frequent and sensation al exposures. The only thing that can avert such a' result apparently, would be a sudden and suspicious epidemic Of - bad memory on the part of those being examined. The recorder," fol lowing up a promise made a few days ago in open court that he would lend every power at his command toward stopping the illegal sale of whiskey, has determined .therefore that any and every defendant appearing before him on a charge of drunkenness, shall tell where he got his whiskey and from whom. Since there are frequently on Mon day mornings from five to fifteen drunks and on other mornings fre quently four or 'five defendants on the same charge, it is to be expected that the quizzing of each defendant will result in interesting revelations.
