Be Hart ia ft rw Day. Lint
! . Should Be Extended to Clnco Park
Kot only are the citisen of Bouth
Union street anxious for the ear line
, to extend in that, direction but the
' entire population of Concord hares
in their wiah. Only a short distance
' ia required to make the line in. that
direction; mean a grea deal not only
. to the town but to the street ear com
pany. A it ia now the track doe
not extend quite far enough to serve
the people of that section. .
1 Two site for parka have, been of
fered if the company would extend
its lines ia that direction. The lat
est offer ia from Mr. G. Ed. Kestler,
as guardian of the Blume heirs, wo
offers a suitable site for a park on
the 'left side of the road just below
Mr. H.Ai Graeber's residence. In
addition to the offers of sites for the
park the baseball park recently built
there should prove within itself
enough inducement to. the company to
make the extension. Concord is go
ing to have a rattjing good ball team
this year and considerable revenue
would be derived from the games
alone. '
The site offered by Mr. Kestler for
the park is a most attractive one.
The land is covered with trees of
almost every description and has
hills, dales, shady nooks, lovers' lanes,
spooning places, where the moon
beams dwell, and Jots of other attrac
tions. There' are also a large spring
and several streams there and a
swimming pool could be built with
' very little expense. Mr. Kestler
makes the point that a park situated
in thia section the people going to
and from it -would pass through the
center of town and that this alone
would be .very decided attraction
toward having the park there,: ' '
Mr. Maness stated yesterday af
ternoon that Mr. Clark, chief engi
neer of the Public Service Company,
would be in Concord. in a few days
and take the matter up. The Merchants'-Association'
has appointed
a committee to -consider the matter.
However there is already enough
inducement in that section for the car
line to make tbe extension at ieui
to tbe ball park and in the mean time
the park can be decided upon.
- The indications are that, both will
ba forthcoming in a short'time.

Washington, May' 30. Senator
Simmons, speaking .of tbe Charlotte
Observer 'a account of .' Governor
Kitebin'a speech at Winston-Salem,
said: "I have nothing to aay about
Governor Kitebin'a manifest effort
to undermine and discredit me in the
esteem and confidence of the people
of North Carolina by dim carping
criticisms and petty insinuations and
inuuedoe. If Governor Kitchin had
been half aa diligent in tbe discharge
of the duties of office as be is in seek
ing office ho would have a record of
accomplishment during the 16 years
he has been in office to which be could
appeal to .the people for support in
hia candidacy, for the Senate instead
of having to occupy the pitahle po
sition of placing hia reliance solely'
upon perversion and labored "criti
cisms of my record.
"But let that pass. I have but
little coneern about them; they do not
disturb me because I have an abiding
confidence that tbe intelligence and
fairness of the people of North Car
olina will take care of them.
"There is one thing, however, in
Governor Kitchin 's -speech to which
I wish to refer. That is his declara
tion that -ex-Governor Ayeock would
not have been a candidate for the
Senate but for my, to him, unsatis
factory record.
"With respect to this statement of
Governor Kitchin I desire to say that
ex-Governor Aycock'during his life
said over and over again, openly and
above board, not only to one but to a
number of people that had he been in
the Senate he would have voted just
as I voted on lumber, reciprocity and
Lorimer." . .
."In this- connection, I want to
give," said the Senator, "the con
cluding paragraphs of the letter that
passed between Governor Ayeock and
myself at the time he announced to
me bis purpose to become a candidate
for the Senate. On May 18, 1811, 1
!?fl
ter announcing . bis. determination to
enter the senatorial race, concluding
with this sentence: 'I hope you know
this determination does not arise out
of any antagonism to you or to your
ambitions, and I sincerely trust that
it will not have the slightest effect
on our cordial relations or. a lifetime
friendship.' Answering that letter on
May 20, 1911, 1 said: 'Of course I re
gret very much to have you for a
competitor in this contest but I join
heartily with you in the hope you ex
press that nothing may develop in
this contest which will in any way
disturb or impair the friendly rela
tions which have always obtained be

nothing did ocour to disturb in the
slightest those relations."
HAWKINS MYSTERY , DEEPENS.
Two-Witnesses Testify They Saw
Supposedly Dead Girl Recently.. : !
Hendersonville, May 30.--The court
house was packed today in the expect
ation that W. 'O. Shellnut, of $3,000
fame would be placed on the stand
and tell about seeing Myrtle Hawkins
three weeks after her dead body had
supposedly been taken from Lake
Osceola. He did not appear, Dot tne
leaser lights, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Rog
ers, of Horshoe, N. C, took the stand
and stated that! to the best of their
belief they bad seen Myrtle Hawkins
on Bay street, in Jacksonville, FU.,
last April. Neither would a wear
positively that they, bad seen her,
but both said that they believed they
bad seen the missing- girl. Kogers
reeeived a merciless gruelling at ,the
hands of Solicitor Hall Johnson, but
held hia nerve remarkably well. In
terest, however, centers in the testi
mony of Shellnut who' said he would
produce Myrtle. Hawkins, in Hender
sonville for $3,000. He will go on the
stand tomorrow morning. , At the
morning session, Frank Garren, who
said he was one of tbe first to see the
body of Myrtle Hawkins after it was
dragged from the lake, said he did not
know Whether it was Myrtle or not
John "Bay, a son-in-law of Dan Mc-
Call, one of the defendant, testified

Saya He I the Only Maa That Can
Carry U Dovbtfal Bute. -
New York, May 3L The New York
World yesterday morning eawie out
emphatically for Wood row Wilson ia
the strongest editorial of the year.
It reviews the lack of strength of
Messrs. Harmon, Clark and Under
wood, and calls attention to the fact
that Governor Wilson alone assures
victory in section where victory is
essential to Democratic success. It
says Wilson is the only Democratic
candidate who can carry the great
debatable States like New York and
New Jersey and Connecticut. The
World says:
' ' Wood row Wilson, of New Jersey,
should be the Democratic candidate
for President. That is tbe opinion
of The World. That is tlie eounsel of
the New Jersey primaries. That is
the logic of the situation. It is time
for facts and not theories. Judson
Harmon might prove a strong candr
date in New York and Ohio, but his
nomination has been rendered impos
sible. Champ Clark would be a hope
lessly beaten candidate in New York,
LN Jersey and Connecticut. He
could do no better than Mr. Bryan
who has lost these States three times
and would lose them again if nomi
nated. Oscar W. Underwood is of
Presidential size, but he has been un
tested as a candidate in the North and
is an unknown quantity to most of
the voters. Woodrow Wjlson alone
has a record of continuing victory in
the section in which victory is essen
tial to Democratic success.
"It is not in behalf of Woodrow
Wilson that The World urges his
nomination. It is not merely, in be
half of the Democratic party as a
party. It is in behalf of tlie Ameri
can people. It is in behalf of tbe Re
public. It is in behalf of the nation
that is now confronted with the grav
est menace that it has faced since the
obliteration of human slavery and
the overthrow of secession."
Griffin Halstead to Be Tried.
YtTi.: ir.... 01 k 4- .. - i
for nearly two years to
escape trial, Griffin Halstead, son of
the famous journalist, the late Murat
Halstead, will be arraigned in the
criminal court here next Monday to
stand trial on a charge of embezzling
funds of former customers of his
brokerage house. JThe firm of Grif
fin Halstead & Co., failed if. January,
1910. Several weeks - later a com
plaint was made to the District At
torney - by . Hubert Kleinpeterm
chauffeur for Mrs. Mark Hanna, that 1
Halstead had wrongfully withheld 100
sharesof New York, Ontario and
Western Railway stock. The stock
represented Kleinpeter's savings of
a lifetime. A warrant for the arrest
of Halstead was issued and he was
taken into court. He denied having
wrongfully used the stock in question
and friends tried in vain toffect a
settlement of the case. lit October
the Federal grand jury indicted the
broker on charges of embezzlement,
false pretenses, and larceny. Mr.
Halstead filed a plea in abatement
s6me months ago, claiming that his
constitutional rights had been invad
ed when the United States attorney
presented to the grand jury the books
of Halstead' brokerage business,
which were in the- custody of a trus
tee in bankruptcy. The lower court
sustained the contention, but on ap
peal the government obtained a re
versal and the broker will now have
to, stand trial.
Bnaines Will Keep Overman ' And
Simmon Away From Convention.
Washington, May 30. On" account
of pressing business in the Senate
probably neither Senator Overman
or Simmons will be able to attend
the State convention at Raleigh next
week.. It is understood that neither
of the North: Carolina Senators will
be candidates for delegates at large
to tbe national convention at Balti
more. Both Messrs. Overman and
Simmons, it is understood, prefer that
private citizens be accorded this
honor.
It ia the sincere desire of the Dem
ocrats in the Senate that the' tariff
bills should be pressed with the ut
most vigor, One of these tariff meas
ures will be before the senate. every
day from now until adjournment and
for this reason Senator Simmons may
not attend the State convention.

TO PUT DOWH S&ICK ON EACH
SIDE OT LUTE ON MAIN
STREET?
Arrangement to Pat Down When
Track 1 Laid tyst Made With
City, - And the Street Car Com
pany Is Beady to Do It. City En
gineer Say Street May Be Raised
in Three Year. . '
i
The work of putting down the
acphalt binder on Cuiou street from
the St. Cloud Hotel to the Lutheran
church comer has been postponed
until July 10th. The city officials
decided to do thisi'in order to give
the Street ear company aad gasthava .pp-teH uvral hn.mea and would
company amplelimeu lay tne tracks
and gas mains in this section. When
this id donavMie improvements can be
made without having the street torn
up again.
The street will be paved with an
asphalt binder, which will be quite an
improvement. According to Ue plan
made by tbe street car company and
accepted by tbe city the street car
company would lay the section ot
street between the v.t and a cer
tain distance on each side of the track
with brick, the brick to he put down
at the same time the pavement was
put down. .
City Engineer omith stated yester
day that the city would not require
the brick to be put down at the
present time, aa it was very pibahle
that in three vears 'this section of
the street would be made level and
other changes made.'
Mr. T. D. Maness, a stockholder,
and also attorney for the street car
company, who drafted the agreement
providing for laying the brick, stat
ed to a representative of this paper
this morning that the street car
company was ready and willing to
put down the brick as toon as the
city made the improvemeuta on the
street. -
Tt is nnlv rpasonfllile t.n sunrwiKp.
however, that the street car companV
is not going to put down the brick
unless the city deeireJUhem to. It
would be quite an additional expense
to lay the brick and of course the
street car company is not going to pay
exira cost unless the city wants thorn
to. 1 he com.i.i.iv is willing thourrj !o
1'ullih the agreement. ,
jy waiting oi.e adva(.iagewj'iJ b-.
ri:ned and that is the peopli, after
b mj -l-g the bump, o-.ei the cj.- hot
for three years would certainly ap
preciate the brick more whyu they
were put down. Knoi::.?.i rubber tires
would be jerked off and buggy wheels
sprung to make the whole populace
rise up and shout for the 'brick in
that length of 'time. As far ae rais
ing the street is concerned that is
only problematical at best. The
matter has never been agitated
enough to determine whether the cit
izens and property owners want -it
raised or not. Another fact in this
connection .may be that those in
charge of the Btreet three years from
now might look at the matter in a
different light and decide that all it
needed waa to be kept clean and in
good shape an(f that instead of rais
ing it to spend that money on improv
ing other streets. The merchants, at
least a few, might abject to it on the
ground that on rainy days the water
trom the street would come gently
rippling through their places of busi
ness and this would be "very annoy
ing indeed.
Another reason for accepting the
street ear company's proposition now
is that in tliree years Concord will Ibe
so busy expanding, building new in
dustries, opening up new avenues of
trade and hitting emdh a steady clip
up the road 'of progress that ail 'her
energies will be spent in making new
improvements commensurate with
her expansion that she will riot have
time to stop and hesitate long enough
to go back and complete a job tliat
should have been completed' in a per
manent way twee years ago.
Tbe street ci-r company offers to
put tho brick down next month, the
trme the city will put down, the as
phalt. If if is done then the people
will have the advantage of the great
improvement it will make. .If delay
ed 1 three year the agreement will
have expired and may be brick will
be cut down and mav ba thev won't
bo. 'it tack can't be put down now
on account of something that might
happen three years y from now u
would be just about a reasonable to
keep the street ear .track from being
put down on the same grounds. If
the nck, will have to be raised Mien
the street car track will certainly
nave to be raisei.;-,.. ,.. ,

A very pathetic story, A'Her
Heart' Refuge,' a Lubin drama will

' BEAunrrxira the homes.
A Splendid Example Sat By Mayor
Wagoner to Other Property Owa
era. Mayor C. B. Wagoner, one of the
largest property . owners in the city,
is making improvements on hia prop
erty situated on several st recta, lie
baa spent several hundred dollars
improving' and beautifying the houses
and lota he owns on West Depot
street between Powder and Scott
streets. A cement curb has been
built, the yards graded and turfed,
the houses painted and improved and
from a row of ordinary bouses they
have been converted into attractive
and inviting homes. On hia proper
ty on Cedar, West Depot and other
streets in that section Mr. Wagoner
has recently had a hedge planted
around each house, making aomeThing
like two miles of hedge in all. He
has also planted a number of shade
trees putting out 200 last year nd
about 250 thia year.
With the money spent on beautify
ing the property Mr. Wagoner could
no doubt have received a larger per
cent on the investment in dollars and
cents. But, by spending it on trees
and shrubbery, he has made the
homes more attractive, better fitted
to live in and of more eredit to the
town. It is to be hoped that other
property owners will follow Mr. Wag
oner's example, for when the people
L"See Concord First" no one thing
will make a more lasting impression
than pretty homes.

IS THE REBELLION
FOR POLITICAL EFFECT?
Gome WD1 rat Down Revolution
Aad Be Proclaimed a the Saviour
of His Country.
Havana, May 31. Delay in at
tacking rebeliotis negroes n Orient
Province today revived the theory of
government that the rebellion ia real
ly fostered by tbe Gomel administra
tion for political effect. Politicians
who ere familiar with the situa
tion expect a spectacular surrender
of negroes followed by great outburst
of joy and universal demand for re
election of President Gomez, as tbe
saviour of tbe country from negroes
and intervention. Little actual loot
ing is reported, and it has been the
work of isolated bands of theives
who prefer stealing to working and
who rob, revolution or no revolution.
The big property owners are not wor
ried for they know well that tbe
United States can be depended upon
to "pull the chestnuts out of the
fire" if the revolution should gain
real strength.
