BEFORE JUDGE ET7RE. Several Cases " Disposed of Yesterday Morning, Several defendants were arraigned J n Municipal court j'esterday morning, but the session lasted only one hour. Dur ing that time a number of laughable in cidents' were brought out that relieved the monotonv of the occasion. -A The first case taken up was' State. Vs., Annie Jones. The defendant a negro woman, was ' charg'ed with purloining a gold watch from the home of Mr. Thom as, where she was employed until Sat urday. ' The watch was in evidence and was recognized as the one missed bv.the owner. One of the witnesses had pur chased the watch from th defendant, agreeing to pay for it on the install ment plan. He had partially paid for it and was sporting the piece of jewelry on the lapel of his Sunday coat when Sergeant Pearce, the police officer, ac costed him. He at once explained the circumstances regarding the purchase and the thief was corralled without any trouble. His Honor deemed it advisable that the defendant should go to the workhouse for about six months as the leper i adly in need of help in har- eating his crop of dried peas.' Kdney Ridge and Felix Crutchfield pleaded guilty of engaging in an affray. After several witnesses were examined a fine of $5 each and costs were im posed. N Stokes Ingram, colored, was charged with operating a pressing club without the formality of paying the city license tax of $20. Stokes stated that at first he had told Citv Tax Collector Sherrill that he would have to wait until he got a $50 check cashed before he could make the payment. Finally he decided he would go out of business and was only pressing up a supply of clothes for his own ue yesterday morning when taken into custody. The fact was admitted that last year he had to be brought into court before he would come across with the tax. Judge Eure imposed a fine of $-30 and costs' the $20 tax to bo taken from this amount. Lizzie Brodnax, cblored, who was ar rested Saturday night on the charge of retailing, was fffrained and she plead j not guilty. James Mitchell, colored, was j the chief witness and he stated that l.e had bought liquor at least 25 times from the home of the defendant. It cost from 15 to 25 rents per drink and 30 cents per half pint. He said he had purchased the whiskey from the de fendant a number of times and occas ionally had gotten it by himself. Ser geant Pearce stated that the place, which was located on Cole street, was a regular blind tiger and while he was there Sat urday night no less than three people came to the rear door and knocked, the presumption being that they were after whiskey. A sentence of six months in the workhouse was imposed. Another case against the defendant was no! prossed by consent. The case against Julius Vaughn, col- Dred. charged with abandonment and nori-snnnort of hU wifV ml ohJlrlrpn non-support j was the most amusing case of the morn- ing session. Bettie Vaughn went on the stand and told a pitiful story of ho wher better, or worse, half had failed to provide plenty to eat and she had been forced to get rations from he" mother. And for the pat week he had not darkened his door. .Inlius stoutlv denied that he had not tried his best to do the right thing by his family and while he did not go on the stand he argued his case in an amusing manner. With bacon at 15 cents and other ediblej correspondingly high wages would nor, go very far, he argued, especially when an "ole nigger only gits 10 cents an hour." The judge saw through his ar gument and decided that the old negro should have another chance. So" a ver dict of guilty was entered, judgment be ing suspended, and Julius was told to get busy and not give his wife cause to complain again. SHUT HER UP WITH SNAKES.

E. Brooks, superintendent, and the directors of the State Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis. The 'board exonerates Dr. Brooks and the directors of the charges preferred against thfcm by Dr. John Roy w'illiams, of this citV. It will be remem bered that the hearrag was held Greensboro and lasted eJiree days. The' report follows: To His ExcelleiK'v. the Governor: in We have the honor to report: That pursuant to your commission, designat ing B. C. Beckwith, a member of this board, as commissioner, .under Section 4S44 of Chapter 101, of the Revisal of 1005. to investigate the affairs of the Xorth Carolina Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis and certain specific charges against the management of the institution, published in the Greensboro Daily Xews, a daily paper published in Greensboro. X. C, and in the form of an affidavit filed with this board, by Dr. J. Roy Williams, of Greensboro. X. C. on July 22x 1910, at Montrose. X. C, B. C. Beckwith as com missioner, and R. F. Beasley, sitting with him, as director of this board, began an investigation -rf the affairs of the said institution and the official conduct of its officers and directors. After a thorough inspection of the physical condition of this institution, its landed property, live stock, etc.. for reasons deemed sufficient the hearing of the said charges was con tinued till August 2nd. and the court house in Greensboro. X. C. was desig nated as a .most convenient point for all persons interested. August 2nd. at 10 o'clock a. m.. pur suant to adjournment, the board meets. Dr. John Roy Williams, who is present, in person, presents a typewritten affi davit comprising six pages of matter di vided into twenty one sections, contain ing the charges the management of said institution and the official conduct of its officers and directors. The superintendent. Dr. J. E. Brooks. and several directors, appearing in per son and by counsel, file their answer specifically denying the allegations of the said affidavit. j A number of witnesses having been subponeaed. are called and sworn by j Commissioner B. C. Beckwith, and Dr. j Williams and sworn by the commission, j B. C. Beckwith, and Dr. Williams is al- j lowed to examine and cross-examine them: and counsel appearing for the said officers, under investigation. are - j granted the same privilege. The proceedings which were open to j the public, were taken down in short- , hand by Miss Williams, the official sten- ' ographer of the Superior Court of Guil- j ford county, and a transcript of the . stenographer's notes, together with the said affidavit, the answer thereto, ex hibits and other papers introduced in evidence are herewith filed as a part of this report for a full and perfect record of the proceedings had. The report of the Special Auditor, ap pointed for the purpose of going into the accounts of the institution, is also filed herewith and made a part of thi report. It discloses that the system of keeping the accounts of the institution was very crude, if indeed, it was a sys tem at all. But that a thorough "checking up" failed to discover any loss of funds appropriated by the State to the institution or belonging thereto receipts and disbursements ballancing. This unsystematic keeping of the mone tary affairs of the institution has been remedied, the auditor having prepared a proper and convenient system of books In addition to the testimony of wit nesses examined at the hearing, and that contained in exhibits and affidavit filed, and other documentary evidence con stituting the record, the commissioner examined further into the affairs of the institution and the official conduct of its officers. From the weight of the evidence, we I find ai fellows: . ,1. Tiat the board of directors o the North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis has been true to its Jhigh trust; and that said board of directors is fit for the responsible du ties imposed upon it by law. f 2. That Dr. J. E. Brooks, as superin tendent, has been faithful in the dis charge of his official duties; that he is a.;"skilled" physician, as is required by Taw, and a man of high character. 3: That the large property of and the State's interest in the said institution are safely guarded. 4. That, since the institution has been reopened, it has been properly managed,' and the public good does not demand the removal or suspension of its officials. Wherefore, we recommend that no further action be taken at this time. BOYS FOLLOW THE CIRCUS Five of Danville's Young Hopefuls Are Picked Up Here by the Police.

There was considerable excitement last night because of the disappearance of a, young girl from- her home. Her people feared that thegirfthatl made up her mind to follow the show and the aid of the police was invoked. " 'Together with friends of the girl the officers searched high and low even going through , the circus trains before, theiy pulled out, but to no;, aifeil. However, she was found at home shortly after the trains had left. The girl had left her home to attend the afternoon performance and had slipped back and taken her valise. As soon as she was missed the girl's people notified the police, but when she came back home before bedtime the of ficers were not so informed and the search continued. A friend of the fam ily thinking she might have gone home called about 1 o'clock this morning and the search was ended. He found the valise hidden nearby. Xo explanation as to her whereabouts was obtained. It is believed that the girl intended to leave with the circus people, but the officers were watching so close than she was afraid of being taken up and gave up her plan, hoping to slip the valise back home early this morning, or after her people had gone to bed. Stole Pocket Knives. The police yesterday arrested Sylves ter Spaugh and Len Stout, two small white boys, on the charge of stealing a number of costly knives from the store of the Odell Hardware Company.

The po lice were notified yesterday morning and soon one of the boys was caught. Several of the knives were disposed of by the boys at .the show grounds, but about all of the knives were recovered. The lads must have taken the knives with a view of converting them into circus funds, for they would have seen the show had the officers, not been so active. The boys will be before Judge Eure this morning. Will Meet Tonight. The Philathea class of the First Re formed church will meet tonight with Miss Pearl Vance at the home of Mrs. M. S.
