NEW NAVY YARDS FOR

Washington, May 10. Creation of
a commission of naval officers to in
vestigate the advisability of estab
lishing an additional navy yard on
the Atlantic south of Norfolk and
one on the Pacific provided in an
amendment to the navy bill approved
by the House Naval Committee.
The bill was amended to call for
a 1,000-foot dry dock at Philadel
phia instead of a 1,700-foot dock, in
order to keep within the $3,500,000
appropriation previously agreed on
for construction. The bureau of
docks and yards advised the com
mittee that a 1,700-foot dock would
cost $6,000,000.

S.H. ISLER IS CANDIDATE
COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Well Known Farmer and Cotton
Buyer Announces His Entry Is
Capable and Successful Business
Man and Has Wide Acquaintance.
In the political announcements to
day appears the card of Mr. Sim H
Isler, who is a candidate for county
commissioner. Mr. isler has been a
resident of Kinston for the past 14
years. He has never before sought
or held public office. He is a farm
er, cotton buyer and man or arrairs.
He takes an active interest, in mat
ters of public interest, is successful
in his own business affairs, and his
friends consider him well qualified
for the important position he seeks.
He is not in any slate, but will con
duct his campaign as he is privileged
to do by virtue of his citizenship. He
believes that better results can and
should be obtained for the county
from the outlay that is being annu
ally expended.
Mr. Isler's wide and favorable ac
quaintance with the cotton farmers
of this section, as well as in the city,
will make him a strong candidate.

what excuse for not
winning a car?
The End la Only 48 Hours Away-
Over Twenty People Are Within
Reach of a Car Last Report to
Be Decisive Three Prominent
Men Named As Judges
Forty-eight hours then the final
count begins. Forty-eight hours and
the contest for honors and valuable
prizes will be history. Forty-eight
hours and the win.icrs will be made
Fnrtv-iiiht hours and the losers will
be the busiest bunch of people you
ever saw trying to explain to their
friends why they didn't win.
Who Will Win?
Yet, in industry there is pleasure
The winners will feel that they are
amply repaid for the time that they
of the cars wi1 have made a yoar.s
salary in less than six weeks. And
the winners of the other prizes will
receive no small rewards for their
time. However, the winners of any
of the prizes are just as much in
doubt today, two days before the
close as they were two weeks ago.
There are so many in the winning
class that a good final report by any
of at least twenty-five will land them
the cars. Everything is .going to-depend
upon the final report. Surely
this is the most surprising and the
most interesting contest that the
contest manager has ever been con
nected with. After becoming ac
quainted with the different candi
dates and their friends, nnd know
ing how they have set their hearts
upon winning one of the cars, the
contest manager cannot help but feel
regret that there is not cars enough,
so that each deserving candidate
might receive one.
Best Wishes.
However, it is all up to tho con
testants' and their friends, and if
there are any two in the contest who
are a little more deservnig than the
rest, and who have shown by their
work that they deserve the cars, the
wish of the contest manager is that
these two will finally triumph, and
that the highest honors to be given.
by the judges will be theirs.
The Judges.
The following gentlemen have been
appointed judges of the contest and
will make the final count and award
the prizes as soon after 9 o'clock on
Saturday night as the contest man
ager has the votes issued:
Mr. W. A.. Allen,. Bookkeeper, at
Farmers and Merchants Bunk.
Mr. Clarence Oettinger, Secretary
Kinston Realty & Insurance Co.
Mr. J. A. Bizzell, bookkeeper at
First National Bank of Kinston.
The ballot box has been locked and
sealed and the final count made by
the contest manager. The ballot box
will be opened by the judges who
will count all of the votes which
they find in the box and add their
totals to the totals that are printed
in the paper on Saturday. The
prizes will be awarded according to
this final count. .

Chamber of Commerce Committee Decided to Report for

The union passenger station
will

Southwest Kinston if tho Corpora
tion Commission approves that site.
That was the decision Wednesday
night at tho end of a conference be
tween representatives of the Atlan
tic Coast Line and Norfolk Southern
Rr.ilroads, and the Chamber of Com
merce committee appointed for the
purpose of investigating nil the avail
able sites.
Three, Sites Considered.
Three sites were under considera
tion when the conferees first got to
gether in the afternoon. One of
these was the Gordon and Independ
ent- streets site, referred to by Col.
W. B. Rodman, chief counsel for the
Norfolk Southern, as "the Corpora
tion Commission site" from its hav
ing been officially selected by the
Commission months ago. That was
soon eliminated by both sides as in
adequate in nearly every way. The
Chamber of Commerce's committee,
in fact, decided against that location
on the day after the appointment.
The others were the "Wooten site,"
at the heud. of King street, and the
Cummings or '"Caswell street site."
Members of the committee strongly
favored the Wooten property. Other
sites were discussed, a3 the present
Atlantic Coast Line station site, but
all of these presented difficulties
which the railroads contended could
not be overcomo except at great ex
pense to them. There were the ob
jections of sharp and dangerous
curves, acquisition of more property
ban the companies could well af
ford to invest in for a station in a
city the size of Kinston, damage to
private interests in the section and
others.
Action Supposed to Be Final.
Finally, about 10:30 o'clock, the
committee consented to the Cum
mings or Caswell street site. Upon
this agreement the Chamber of Com
merce, it is presumed by members of
the committee, will recommend to
the Corporation Commission that the
order for construction on the Gordon-Independent
si'c be withdrawn
and one issued for a building cn she
Cummings property. Colonel Rod
man stated lo a meeting at r o'clock
that the railroads were willing to be
a'm building immediately on the
Cummings property. Plans are to

Cleveland, May 11. Delegates re

the triennial international convention.
Sessions are to continue through five
days.
The convention will hear problems
confronting the young men discussed
by prominent men. Reports will be
heard from a dozen far eastern coun
tries and the method of administra
tion hereafter in those countries will
be determined.
Among those scheduled to address
the meetings are: John D. Rockefel
ler, Jr., Raymond Robbms, Chicago
social worker; C. T. Wang, until re
cently- vice speaker of the Senate
Chinese republic; John R- Mott, gen

be drawn for the station there at
once. The property is a triangle of
two or three acres, formed by (the
junction of the A. C. L. and S.
The depot will sit well back from
and facing Caswell street, with
parked grounds in front and lateral
canopy sheds to the tracks of thv
two roads, so that trains may dis
charge and take on passengers on
their respective tracks. At least,
that is the supposition from tenta
tive plans. The Norfolk Southern
plans new freight platform facilities
a short way north of the station.
There were three conferences held
Wednesday. The first was at o'
clock, between the railroad men and
the committee. Another at 6 was
between the directorate of tho Cham
ber and the companies' representa
tives. That mee'ng resulted in the
whole matter being left to the, com
mittee so far as the Chalmber of
Commerce was concerned. The last,
at which the agreement was reached
after 10 o'clock, was between the
committee' and railroad men.
Participating' in the conferences
were the following: Messrs. T. W,
Mewborn, E. V, Webb, J, J.. Steven
son, C. F. Harvey and H. E Mosa
ley, the committeemen, and CoK. Rod
man, Larry I. Moore, counsel for the
A. C. L.; Division Superintendent
W. II. Newell of Rocky Mount, of
the A. C. L.; Division Superintendent
B. J. Hughes of Norfolk, of the A.
C. L.; Division Superintendent Jfohn
C. Iewis of New Bern, of the Nor
folk Southern; Chief Engineer W. L.
Trenholm of Wilmington, of the A.
. L., and General Supt. J. D. Stack
of the Norfolk Southern.
Property Litigation May Be Stopped.
It is assumed that the Norfolk
Southern's attempt to "recover" pro
perty claimed by it between Caswell
and Gordon streets will be' stopped,
since when notice was served on the
property-holders some days ago it
was stated the action was caused by
the necessity of constructing . the
station at the Gordon-Independent '
site. That necessity was obviated by
Wednesday night's action. Col.. Rod
man has that matter entirely in his
hands; he is en rout to Asheville,
and is not known to have expressed
himself publicly. General Superin
tendent Stack said today that he did
not know -what action Col. Rodman
intended.
