NEW YORK, July 10 The arrival
at an American port of a German sub
marine and the possibility of estab
lishing a carrier service between the
United States and the blockaded Teu
tonic nation, has aroused particular
interest" here among persons who
have suffered from their inability to
send to Germany and Austria-Hungary
money and legal documents.
It was said today that if the subma
rine returned home she will carry an
important consignment of bank drafts
and legal papers of various kinds.
Ordinarily $150,000,000 a year is.
sent front this country to Austria-Hungary:
but with the war this fell off to
$15,000,000. Of late it has become in
creasingly difficult to transmit funds
between . the United States and the
central powers.
The settlement of at least a dozen
estates now in the surrogate court
here has been held' up because it was
impossible to send or . receive the ne
cessary' legal documents to or from
the cities of the central powers.
Mortgagees have been foreclosed be
cause it was impossible to obtain the
interest due from kolders in Germany.
This effect of the blockade has been
felt in all the cities of the United
States where there is a large Teuto
nic population.

Republican and Progressive leaders
from every section of the country, will
be invited if the tentative program is
adopted and Mr.. Hughes wishes to

his opinion the mayor, chief of police

1 The call for the meeting had been
i sent out by Mr. C. H. Hubbard, ex-
president of the Wilmington Typo
graphical Union, who briefly explain
led the object of the gathering. "We
are asking that the militia be taken
: out because there was no need for
them at first and less need for them
now." he ' declared and this brought
1 forth a storm of applause. Conlinu-
' ins - he declared that the police and
the sheriff had furnished all the pro
i tection that had been needed. "We
have as law abiding people as are to
; be found anywhere and when we
j leave this room we will leave as. law
'abiding citizens as we always are," he
concluded in urging moderation.
After all these years Durham is to
have a Carnegie library according to
this story from the Herald: .
That this city will secure a Carne
gie library within the near future to
replace the present Durham public li
brary, which is wholly inadequate,
seems auite within the bounds of
probability. Dr. E.C Brooks, of Trin
ity College, who . is one of the trus
tees of the library, appeared before
the board of county commissioners
yesterday and suggested the advisa
bility of the county co-operating with
the city with the idea, of securing
from the Carnegie library fund for
the purpose of erecting a more com
modious library building on the site of
the present Durham public library.
It was the sense of the board that
it would co-operate with the city in
the undertaking and a committee,
composed of County Attorney Reade,
Commissioners Holder and Thomas,
was appointed to confer with the
board of aldermen in the matter. The
committee was instruced to report
back to the board for final action at
the next regular meeting.
While the library question is still
in the air, the plans being in the for
mative stage, the tentative plans con
template the securing of $45,000 from
Mr. Carnegie, with the understanding
that the city and county will provide'
one-tenth of this amount, or $4,500,
for maintenance of the institution.
With the expenditure of $45,000 it
would be possible to construct a li
brary of which the city might justifi
ably feel proud.' "The. lot upon which
the library is situated is the property
of the city and in all likelihood an ad
ditional strip of land lying between
the present structure and the Lloyd
hardware store would be purchased.
The present library has experienced
a career of much usefulness, but, with
(he expansion of Durham, its adequa
cy has become so apparent that to
mention it is mere superfluity. For
some time the friends of the institu
tion have been quietly, working for a
library commensurate with the needs
of the city and they are much grati
fied over the prospects for the success
ol their plans.

SHRINE CLUB
TO
HELP NEW BERN
The Raleigh Shrine Club will not
stand in the way of New Bern's desire
to secure the location of a new temple
ill North Carolina. On the other hnnd.
the local club will aid the New Bern
Shriners to get the new temple pro
vided the Imperial Council finds that
th'e time is ripe for the formation of
a new temple in North Carolina.
The action of the Raleigh Shrine
Club in hacking New Bern followed a
discussion of the matter at a called
meeting of the club last night. Be
fore the recent ceremonial held in
this city more than eighty Shriners
had signed a petition favoring the lo
cation of a new temple, to be known
as Soudan Temple, in New Bern.
Since then another petition was sign
ed asking that the new temple, if lo
cated in eastern North Carolina, be
established in Raleigh, local Shriners
having reached the conclusion that
this city should be the place for the
new temple if the Imperial Council
decided the time was ripe to form
such a temple.
It was the purpose of discussing the
last petition that the Raleigh Shrine
Club was, called in session. As a re
stilt of the discussion a resolution was
adopted stating that the Raleigh club
would not stand in the way of New
Bern Shriners in their effort to se
cure the new temple if ordered to be
formed. A resolution was also adopt
ed empowering the club to inform the
New Bern Shriners of the action
taken.
Sunday. Upon the jury's verdict rest
ed the issue as to whether the lid
clamped down on the Sabbath day
by the local authorities would remain
las tight as sin the past three weeks. A
large number-of speculators were ex
pected to be . present to witness the
progress of the first trial.
The case against Mike Scher, who
conducts a confectionery, cigar and
sodawater shop at Ni:ta and Broad
streets, was scheduled to be the first
tried. The first Sunday on which the
ouster -law was effective. Schcf closed
his place of business. Th3 following
week ho put the police on notice that
he would rc'Tiain open on the Sabbath
that he miftt be v. nested in order to
test the bw.; H is action resulted from
the policy adopted in .Norfolk where
the Commonwealth':; attorney held
that, similar businesses could be con
ducted on Sabbath without violating
the law. In Toiico Court the follow
ing day St her was fined $." and costs.
He appealed.- The toP.owin. Minday
he was again arrested for doing -business,
arvd. .another fine of-$5.00 result
ed and a scrond appeal was noted.
In "his decision handed ' down the
police judre- almost - swept away all
the law, decided that the Sunday op
eration of newspapers and transfer
companies is necessary and discharg
ed the defendants. The, court held
that it is unlawful for railroad com
panies to clean cars on -Sunday.
Hearing appeal cases in the Cor
poration Court, Judge D. C- Richard
son ruled that it is permissible for
hotels to furnish music for their
guests' on Sunday and that bootblacks
may ply theij trade in hotels. The
court-also held that it is legal to sell
gasoline for automobiles on Sunday.
A jury returned a verdict that it is
legal to wash automobiles and to take
Turkish; baths on Sunday.

Does a Man Have Any Time to Work
After All is Said?
In the mail we receive the follow
ing, and also see it printed in the
High Foint Enterprise, so we pass it
on:
The story comes from Dallas, Texas,
and recently appeared in a trade jour
nal that a head of a department in the
public service was asked by a young
nTan for an advance tr salary. He was
told that he did not deserve an ad
vance because, he had not done any
work at all during the year. He pro-rpp-lfd
then to prove his- assertion.
We j re not told whether he convinc
ed the applicant. The figures , seem
logical at first glance, or until you be-
sin to dig for the flaws. Can you find
them His argument runs: .
Each year has 36r days. You sleep
eteht hours each day, which equals
122 days. This leaves 243 days. You
rest eight hours each day. which
equals 122 days. This leaves 121
days. There are 52 Sundays that you
do not work, or 52 days.. This leaves
09 days. You have one-half day off
efh Saturday, or 26 days. This
leaves days. You have one and a
half hours each day for lunch, or. 28
davs. You get two weeks' vacation
each year, or 14 days. This leaves
one day. and this being the Fourth of
July wp close on that day. ;o you've
done no work at all. ..
Being fresh from the Investigation
of the recent .lynching . in.. Gr8i
counts', quite naturally the charge of
Judge Bond, who began a week's
term of criminal court in Wake coun
ty this wek, was featured by blows
delivered against mob rule. He also
dwelt upon the necessity of preserv
ing the purity and reputation of
women.
He also took a crack at woman suf
frage, which he did not oppose on the
grounds of intellectual superiority,
but in the interest of womaji, whose
duties, more delicate than man's, .led
in another direction, and he declared
he did not want to see the day when
they would be mixed up with the scan
dals 'and deceptions of politics!-
In citing the, lynching . case , in
Greene he had no. words of censure for
the counties of Greene and Lenoir.
His words were directed only to the
small element that took the law into
its own hands. : - -
He declared that the county whqre
the trouble originated had as good
citizons as any county in the state,
and that the crime was not committed
by the high-class people. He praised
the orderly conduct and courtesies' of :
the citizens during the investigation.
declaring that the sentiment of the j
people was against mob law. .
ninlnrc Tnrlfncv to Mob Rule. ' ' I
The judge deplored the growing
sentiment in some parts of the. state
in favor of mob rule, and declared that
if it is not stopped the government is
cone. -He pointed to the sieedy con
viction of Joe Black as an illustration
of the power of the courts to enforcer
the law. He declared that the negro
who was lynched had committed no
-crime. All that he had done was to
tell his son to die before being taken
hv n mob which denied him the right
of an impartial trial. " i
Judge Bond , branded as ; cowardly j
the men who would in the night com
mit an act which they would not dare
do in the day. contrasting the coward
ice of this mob with the bravery of ,
the Allen gang, which worked by day. I
The judge declared that the investi-1
gation would continue until the men j
connected with the crime were pun
ished if possible. He desired to call
public attention to the fact that the
courts could enforce the law.
Need to Protect Women.
In the course of his charge Judge
Bond spoke at some length on woman
suffrage. The opposition to extending
the ballot to women, he said, rested
not on the ground of an intellectual
superiority of man over woman, but
upon the sacred duties of the sexes.
The duties cf womanhood are more
delicate than those of man. He de
clared that he did not want to see the
day when women would mix with men
in the scandal and deception of
politics. . -
Judge Bend also took up in his
charge cruelty to animals, the neces
sity of bringing children up in the
paths of honesty and truthfulness,
the whiskey laws, and our unique form
cf government. The judge dwelt
upon the evils of immoderate drinking
and upon the necessity of enforcinsj
an unpopular law. intoxicating arms,
said he. has sent more women and
children into poverty than anything
else.
