BAD RUMORS ABOUT HIM

and
n. W. Birmingham, who was
elected by the Raleigh police coin
mission and whose appointment was
held up by the board pending an in
vestigation of rumors against him,
has left the city.
Birmingham was working in the
Pilot Mills, in the northern section
of Raleigh, when he applied for a
position on the police force. His ap
plication was acted upon favorably
by the police commission and ho was
to have gone on duty the first of this
month.
The commission, however, heard
rumors in reeard to the man, and
although he had already been given
a uniform, he was told to wait a few
days until every matter concerning
him could be cleared up. I
But Birmingham, who hails from
.Columbia, S. C, did not wait. On
the contrary, ho sold his household
effects and was seen in Raleigh the
last time Tuesday morning.
It is alleged that, the Columbia
authorities are after him and that
he has mysteriously disappeared
from other cities. How true the
rumors are cannot be verified this
afternoon, but it is stated on good
authority t:i:it Birmingham left his
V wife in Columbia and ran off with
another woman.
That these reports -'appear, more
nr loss true Is evidenced by the
fact that Birmingham, when told to
wait until the charges could be vcri-
fled, left Ha' lij'.i w i.l .:io . i f . .'.. '-' . ? : t

Taken during the, epidemic, it pre

department, observing the rule tliat no
platen-tents .shall be made on mutters
still in process ' of negotiiUion today
refused all information on the Japa
nese , reply, to Ambassador 6'KHeu's
memorandum dealing .-.with the immi
gration question. In oitieial circles' it
I sunderstood that the elianges be
tween the two governments lire not
considered negotiations in the strict
sense of the word and it is not believ
ed 'certain that there will be a treaty.
Japan is evincing a satisfactory dis
position toward the American govern
ment and her attitude Is regarded in
a favorable light by Mr. O'Brien, but
the reply Is not conclusive.

'Special to Tho Evening Times.)
Charlotte, N. C, Jan. 4. Engaged In
robbing the grocery store of C- B.

years old, was shot by Constable
James H. Orr, who went to assist his
brother. Patrolman W. R. Orr, and Pa
trolman W. W. Irvine In the arrest.
At a late hour last night very little
could be ascertained as to the extent
of the boy's wounds. The ball entered
the right groin and appeared to have
lodged in the hip. Dr. F. O. Hawley,
city physician, who was summoned to
the police station to attend the wound
ed boy, made n tentative probe and
then sent him to the Presbyterian Hos
pital for further Investigation. The
wound will be more serious. If the
ball is discovered to have taken an
other direction and lodged In th
bowels. .
