RUMORED THAT M TRAINS ARE TO BE CUT OFF REPORT GAINING CIRCULATION I THAT NORFOLK SOUTHER i WILL CURTAIL SERVICE. PROTESTS ARE ENTERED Annuiiment of Two Trains Would Seriously Inconvenience the Tra veling Public in This Commun ityOfficials Not Advised. Rumors are current to the effect , that the Norfolk Southern RailroaG, "the route of the night express," will soon be no longer. The reports which are "persistent, but cannot be traced to a foundation, are that passenger trains Nos. 15 and 16, the former the "Midnight Exp'ress," are to be tak en off the Beaufort district. No 15 passes through Kinston from Golds boro to Chocowinity at about 11:20 p. m., and returns, passing through this city at about 5:30 a. m. as No. 16. No 15 makes connection with a train from Raleigh to Norfolk and one from from Norfolk to Raleigh at about 2:30. The Norfolk Southern's office here has no knowledge of the cancellation, it was stated today. The employes declare that no mention has come from either general or district head uarters concerning the rumored change, and they are not anticipating any orders to that effect. The night trains have been oper ated from Goldsboro to New Bern on this line for four years or longer. It is doubtful if they hare made ex penses, at least during the past two years, although they were possibly operated at a profit in 1911 and 1912. The Kinston Chamber of Commerce has written the president of the Nor folk Southern and entered a protest against any curtailment, and it is understood that the Chambers of Goldsboro and New Bern are taking similar action. Pullman service, which the rail road officials contended was rendered for accommodation only, was cut out on the Beaufort district some months ago, so that a traveler from this side of New Berne can now get a sleeper only after 12:30 from the latter point.

M'ADOO WILL INCLUDE STATE BANKS IN ANTI MONEY HOARDING PLAN Washington, Sept. 24. The anti money hoarding campaign launched by Secretary McAdoo against national banks, particularly those which have received federal crop-moving money or which have taken out emergency currency, was broadened today to take in State institutions. Mr. Mc Adoo sent a telegram to superintend ents of banking in each State an nouncing the restriction of credits by national banks and the high interest rates charged and appealing for all available information regarding state banks and trust companies. This was the secretary's second move today in the campaign. Eat Her he made public a statement in which he announced that if the State of Tennessee continues to find bankers unwilling to renew a $1,400,000 loan, he himself will take up the task of finding banks who 'will make such a loan. It was understood that a list of banks which are piling up reserves or hoarding money will be made pub lic tomorrow. After announcing the restriction of credits by national banks, Mr. Mc Adoo's telegram to state banking su perintendents says in part: "There is at this time more curren cy in the country than at any time in its previous history, there having been issued through the treasury depart- CITY SCHOOLS ARE BADLY IN NEED OF ROOM AUTHORITIES HAVE DIFFICUL TY IN HOUSING INCREASED NUMBERS THIS SESSION. BUILDINGS NOT READY 250 Pupils Are Being Looked After In Two Grades By Two Teachers. Modern History Added to the Study Course. The city schools are so crowded that when a new section is added to the third grade, now having two sections, next week, the third section will have to be housed outside of the building, probably in a downtown office build ing. The two sections of the eighth grade, with a total of 95 pupils, are required now to recite in the audi torium, both at the same time, in op posite sides of th eroom. The fourth and fifth grades have 250 children between them and four teachers. Two additional teachers .badly needed for these grades cannot be commissioned until the new East Lenoir street building is completed, which may not be until November or December. Teachers declare that if the rate of increase of the past two or three years is maintained steadily, the new building and the present high school building will not serve the school population more than two years. The congestion that is worrying the fac ulty now will by the end of that time becomes a perplexing proposition. Physical Geography and Latin are both being required in the eighth grade this season. Hitherto but one of the courses was required of the students, the choice beine with the children. The colleges are beginning to demand that entrants stand exami nations on both, however, and the su perintendent of the Kinston schools is caused the 6tud$! it both to be compulsory. Modern history is a new study in the tenth grade, text books, newspa pers and magazines being used. 110 CHINESE ENTER AMERICAN COLLEGES. (By the United Press.) San Francisco, Sept. 25.
