B ' 13-121 STEAMER MONROE (Continued from Page One.) PETITIONS ASK THST COURTRQOMBEPUT IN TIE NEW An aftermath to the meeting of the county commissioners at the court houise yesterday, at which time ,a committee from the Bar Associa tion entered protest to the proposal to have to remove the criminal court room from the court house to the new countv iaii, is in evidence today in the shape of a petition, asking the countv commissioners to carry out their plan of having a criminal court room, in the new jail. There are several of the petitions cut, it L? said, slightly differing in wording, but all to the same purport. It is stated that a great many signa tures have been secured today. The .plans for the new jail, as already stated .'in The News, call for a room 34 by ,49 feet on the ground floor of the building, in which it is pro posed to hold the sessions of Meck lenburg superior court. Mr. Cansler, attorney for the county commission ers, stated at the hearing yesterday that the room would be included in the plans for the new jail, but that it will net be! finished and equipped for occupancy until the necessary sanc tion, legally required, is secured from the legislature for holding the ses sions of the court in the new build ing instead of the court house. The argument of those signing the petition, it if? said, as well as. the argument of the commissioners, is that the holding of the sessions of the court in the new building will obviate the necessity of hauling pris oners through the streets for trial at the court house, which they hold to be an antiquated and rather bar barous practice, and that it will for ever Insure against the possibility, in case such a thing should ever be attempted of a mob taking a pris oner from the sheriff while on the way to the court houce. The argu ment of the members of the Bar As sociation, who opposed the proposi tion by a vote of 34 to 7 at the last meeting of the association, is that the criminal court room is ample and suited for the holding )f aojH and that the construction of a court room in the new jail would be a useless expenditure. Mr. W. W. Moore, of 805 North Davidson street, is quite ill. He was operated on Saturday for appendicitis. I Grouchy It is not your fauk it is your liver.

TONE OF MEETING IN REGARD TO TRAINING SCHOOL ENCOURAGING A meeting of the Presbyterian Coun cil of the city was held last night at the First Presbyterian churcn to as certain if there was sentiment here in favor of making a bid for securing the proposed Bible Training School which the assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church is to erect in the bounds of the church, was only semi enthusiastic at first, but as different ones expressed opinion on the matter enthusiasm became more marked. A committee consisting of Rev. D. H. Rolston, pastor of the First Presbyter ian church; Dr. A. J. Crowell and Dr. Thos. V. Lingle, the latter of Davidson was appointed to ascertain more defi nitely what the scope of the school would be and what the city would have to offer to get it. Mr. John R- Pharr, president of the council, presided at the meeting. Dr. Crowell stated that he had had some correspondence with a member of the General Assembly's committee relative to the scope of the proposed school and that so far as he had been able to learn the plan was to erect within the bounds of the Southern General Assembly for the training of lay work ers, missionaries, and to train nurses and physicians for the home field. As he understood the question it was nec essarv that the school be placed in a city where there were considerable hos. pital facilitiees. Charlotte would be a good place for such a school, if he understood the idea, since it had the hospital facilities. Mr. Rolston produced the minutes of the last General Assembly of the year before, in which it was stated that a committee had been appointed to consider the establishing of such a school and securing bids for it. At the meeting of the committee at Montreat in July, 1912, no definite action was taken on the matter. The conditions state that the city securing the school must give a site, buildings and equip ment and that the city maintain the school for a period of three years with out cost to the General Assembly. Dr. A. A. McGeachy, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, stated that he did not believe that Charlotte could get the school, even if it made the effort, because the claims of Rich mond were more attractive to the com mittee than any Charlotte could pre sent. Dr. J. H. Caldwell, president of Queens College, stated that he believ ed Charlotte stood a good chance to get the school and could offer as good facilities for it as any other place. Mr. C. C. Hook said that he had be come interested in the matter and had done a little work in advance. He had had an offer of five acres of land, he said, and had an offer of $500 in cash. This was a decidedly encouraging note and it was voted that the commit tee be appointed to look further into the proposition. A lettergram was sent last night and an answer is expected at once.

The nation al board of arbitration of the Associa tion of Professional Baseball Leaguss, today gave out the following decisions: Claims allowed: George J. Needles against the Georgia-Alabama League.

Bound for Norfolk from Boston, tho Nantucket presented a similar condi tion. On her decks there were only On her bridge was Captain Berry. On the bridge of the Monroe was Captain Johnson. Thus, with the dense fog shutting them in; their passengers asleep m their staterooms and most of their crews below decks, the two steamers had drawn together during the night, until the crash. Mad Rush to Decks. The shock of the collision galvan ized into instant activity the two sleep ing ships. From their sleep passaa gers and crews were awakened and rushed to the decks, groping their way through a wall of fog that brought panic and despair to men and vomen. They could not see where to grope their way to boats that were useless. The Monroe was sinking like a shot. Ten minutes from the time when the Merchants and Miners' boat and the Old Dominion liner collided, the Monroe had disapeared beneath the waves. There bad not been time to launch life boats; not time enough even to bring a semblage of order out of disorder, although the captain and his officers, in that brief spice be tween the crunch of steel and the last plunge of ths Monroe had kept cool heads and -lad started their well-order-, ed routine for lowering the boats. The Work of Rescue. On board the Nantucket no time was lost in the work of rescue. The Mer chants and Miners' boat staggered like a living thing from the gaping hole in her bow. Uncertain as to the fate of his own ship, Captain Berry ordered out his life boats. Manned by men undaunted, in the swirling mist that shut them from the view of tieir ship as soon as they had touched the water, these little craft began a task that seemed almost hopeless, that of picking up, generally one at a time, the Monroe's people. The Nantucket's searchlight played in every direction, and by this means many of those saved were located; others shouted to attract the attention of the resc-ie boats. Many Suffer From Exposure. The shock ten minutes from sleep to struggle in the cold sea and the exposure proved a grave trial to many of those saved. Wireless messages report a number in serious condition. And so the rescue work went on until the playing searchlight could pick up no more forms in the water and the shouts of the crews in the Nan tucket's small boats brought no an swering shouts from the sea. Then the gaping prow was turned south, for Norfolk. Conveyed by the Old Dominion liner Hamilton at 7 o'plock this morning the Nantucket is proceeding slowly for this port. The Onondaga is expect ed to reach them at about 8 o'clock, and it is hoped that the ships will reach port this afternoon. Loss Over Million Dollars. The Monroe is the first steamer lost by the Old Dominian line during the half a century it has been in opera tion. The steamer was valued at ap proximately $400,000 and her cargo as much more, making the total loss, ex clusive of lives, about $1,000,000. Mrs. T. J. "Woods, the only Nor folk person on the Monroe's passen ger list, left last night for New York Woods is among the rescued, who are being brought in on the steamer Nan tucket. She is ignorant of the fact that her . husband died in New York last night. His death was announced in a telegram received today. List of the Rescued. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30.

LAST OF THE WEK Anita Bartling, European novelty j lady juggler; Billy Barton, character musician; Irene and Walter Henny, a comedy-music duo, and the flying Hennys, who style themselves "kings: of the air," are the four acts at the j Piedmont for the last half of the week that make the program a very interesting one. The audiences, mat inee . and night yesterday, accorded the Henny duo the palm for the best act. While Irene plays the accompani ment on the piano, Walter seats him self in a chair and induces some wonderfully weird and melodious tonesr of the Asiatic-minor type, from a guitar by picking ijt mandolin- style and fingering it up and down! the neck banjo-style. Both ragtime and more serious melodies were pro duced in this way, to the apparent immense satisfaction of the audience. The dancing of the pair is no le6s clever than their playing and they j introduced one or two novelty steps ! tnat no one else has produced on the Piedmont stage. Billy Barron, as a character musi cian, was also very warmly encored, following several selections on a one string violin and then on the saxa phone, On the latter Instrument he is a master. Anita Bartling is a top-notcher in thct rare ro'.e a lady juggler. As a sample of her skill, she kept seven balls in the air at once and did other equally clever stunts. The Flying ' Hennys are a pair of -daring trapeze ; performers and received a warm ap- ! clause. The absence of the slightest .
