SECTIONS DF CITY CHARTER ON THE QUESTION. Two Sections' Quoted. One Gives th Alderman Power' to Disband Com pany And the Other Gives Firemen the Bight to Elect Chief Ordin ance -Throw New Light on the In teresting! Situation. Aftei'a1J the discussion of the cjec tion or . near-election of Fire Chief "Miller by the board of aldermen Thursday night and the unlimited ef fusions of burning thought that liave been produced, a sect inn of l lie city charter and an. ordinance uppear to have changed th situation complete ly. Paragraph J, section 50. of the city charter reads: ."It (the board of aldermen) may provide for the establishment, org anization and equipment of Are com panies and shall provide rules and regulations for the government of the same; it shall have power and au thority to disband any company w henever it shall be deeToed necessary for the best interest of the depart ment." Chapter eight, section 37. of the city ordinances reads: "The fire department" of a city shall consist of a chief and two as sistants, a secretary and treasurer, to be elected by the members of the regularfly organized companies that may be created hereafter by the board of aldermen. The said election shall lake place immediately after the .first company is organized and thereafter annually on the first Monday of De cember in each year. In case of the failure to elect a chief tit bourd of aldermen may elect; at their next meeting after snch failure." In' addition to the above sections of the charter and ordinances there is not a provision in the charter nam ing the June meeting of the board as the time for the, election of a lire chief, unless under the general term of' the 'ijeetieti; nfc; ttys'llmr'th board may- elect such other officers , as deem.jiecessary for the proper gov ernment. of the city." The charter states specifically that the city clerk engineer,- tax- collector, attorney and member of the water and light board shall be elected at the June meeting, but does not name the chief of the fire department. However, it is un derstood that the firemen did not elect a chief last December as requir ed by the above ordinance and the former .board of aldermen did not elect a chief of the fire department as further set forth in the ordinance. This would probably give the board the right to elect a chief now, the matter coming over from the other board. y City -Attorney Hartsell has exam ined both 'of the: above sections of the charter ami gives as his opinion that under he .ordinance it would not be necessftry for the board of aldermen to elect a chief of the fire department but tliat the election slmuld be made by (he members of the fire department.- JUDGE A. 0.

HIGH POINT FIRM WINS . DECISION IN RATES. Commission Ordered Reduction of 20 Per cent, to Refund Overcharges. Washington, June 13. The inter state commerce commission today handed down a decision of far-reaching importance to Noith Carolina shippers, when Commissioner Meyers issued an order reducing the freight rate on plate glass from Pittsburgh and Toledo to High Point approxi mately 20 per cent, and ordering that overcharges, amounting to nearly $20,000, be refunded to the complain ants. m... ...... k ,i,t i,., w.j.. 11 iiiu suit . an ipiuiiiit u , viatic u. Ellis, formerly Dnited States assist- ant attorney general, acting for the Stasdard Mirror company, the Snow Lumber Company, Fred Ecker and several other firms using large quan tities of plate and window glass in High Point. In view of the fact that the contes tion of the complainant shippers was based upon the ground that the rate to North Carolina cities was so blh as to be discriminatory in favor of Virginia cities, today's decision is considered ofgreat importance and one that may have considerable bear ing upon othe cases now pending be fore the commission, including the Qdell Hardware company, of Greens boro, which asked that the rate on hardware be reduced and also seeks to recover approximately $100,000 in overcharges. .. C ' , . The decision also means mat tne rate from Pittsburg and Toledo to Greensboro. Statesville, Salisbury, Le noir and many other cities' along the line of the Southern will be reduced alonpr the same lines as that ordered for the High Point concern, V- One Important Omlsaiea.

Senator Overman Says it May Not End for Several Weeks. Washington, June 14. The Sena torial lobby probe may not end for several weeks. Senator Overman said today that he would request au thorny to extend the investigation due to revelations in many branches of lobby activity which causes th necessity of calling at least two score more witnesses. v So far the committee has develop ed the following facts: That there are lobbies operating throughout the country, actively fight ing the tariff bill, with their head qiiaiters in Washington. That these lobbies are spending vast sums of money to bring pres ume to bear on Congressmen ajid to spread a false view of tariff matters throughout the country. That ex-congressmen as legal aids to big business eorporatirns are us ing the floor privilege extended all former members to solicit individual aid of legislator. That business, ivie and labor or ganizations, impelled by misrepresen tations from interested big business principals have thoded their congress, it'll with written protests agninsl certain schedules- of the tariff. In addition the committee has amassed an enormous amount of hear say evidence indicating Hint nearly every big bill pending before Con gress is being pushed by some indi vidual or organization. Times-Democrat on Cotton Situation. New Orleans. June 13. Crop prog ress delaying temperatures have re vived the bullish claim, repeatedly made throughout the planting season, that the crop got a late st-irt. In any event yesterday's cotton market climbed without encountering effect ive opposition, and the, bearish as sertion that technical conditions alone supply a basis of strength fell on una-ppreriative ears. As a matter of fact, nobody, in professional circles at least, believes the present cool weather has actually damaged the i cotton plant, but there seems to bet no leasonable ground ror uouni Hai low temperature during the past three or tour days nave caused uie crop as . a whole to lose the progress it wouio have made had the. weather been warm and favorable. In this connection, comparisons between the weajher now nnit nt this time in 1911 are particu- larly interesting, because large crop iteonle are predicting a yield this vear fullv as great as the monster yields of 1011-12. Almost without ex ception yesterday-- .morning and the morning before the government's stations in the cotton belt reported maximum temperatures lower than the minimum temperatures reported on the same days in 1911. Conley Accused of Murdering Mary Phagan. Atlanta, June 14. Predictions that the defense of Leo M. Frank would be in the line of counter-accusation against the negro Conley, came true yesterday afternoon when Luther 'A. Rosser, ieBding attorney for the man who is indicted for the murder of Mary Phagan, issued a statement formally accusing- Conley of the crime. Conley, who was released from the tower as a witness, was immediately re-arrested and is now being held at the police station on a chaige of sus picion in connection . with the mur der. If Frank is acquitted, it is stated, Conley will be indicted as principal in the crime. There is a sharp division of pub lic sentiment over the latest turn the case has taken. Some people ttnnK it presages real proof of Frank's in nocence, while others bold that a de liberate frame-up is being put through to make the negro the scape-goat to satisfy public vengeance and save Frank. , Prisoners in Durham Lockup Get all the Beer They Can J)rink. Prisoners in the city lockup at Durham Sundav night had a rousing good time when they pulled one of the barrels containing beer up to the window the the cell, broke the head out of the barrel and filled themselves with the .stuff.
