Ifeeklg No. 135 NEW BERN. N. C. TUESDAY, JULY 1, I913-FIRST SECTION 35th YEAR Jfeto SCHOOL TRUSTEES HOLD MEETING Decide to Discontinue Domestic Science and Manual Training Department!. LACK OF FUNDS THE CAUSE. List Of Teachers Remains Same Aa Those Who Taught Last Term. At a meeting of the Board of Trus tees of the New Bern Graded Schools held last night the Trustees decided, on account of the lack of funds, to discontinue the operation of the Do Imestic Science and Manual Training I Departments of the School. This action was decided upon only fter much careful thought. Each lember ol the Board regretted ex sedingly that this action had to bo iken but they found that under the listing circumstances, it was absolute- necessary. One gentleman present t the meeting suggested that the raattet e put before the public and that they f allowed to contribute to its support ad that each pupil in these depart -lents give something toward this end. efore concluding his remarks he ated that he would make a liberal onation for this purpose. The Board considered this sug sstion and a committee was appointed d investigate and report at the next leeting and it is possible, if not robable, that these two departments, rhich have been ol so much help to the chool, will be kept in operation! At the last meeting of the. Board I committee was appointed to select the teachers for tbe next term: This committee made their report last night and the teachers who served during the last term, with the excep tion of those in the two departments ordered discontinued, were chosen. The committee recommended that five teachers be secured to take charge ' of the classes which will be. taught in this building, three for the primary and two for the grammar school. The committee appointed to assist the building committee in gctiing plans i and specifications for the proposed new building did not make-a report. A committee was appointed to re vise the old rules and regulations of the school, and have these in readiness by the time of the next meeting. FINDS PEACE IN A CELL Conscience Stricken Embezzler Confesses and is Happy. New Haven, Conn., June 27. The first restful night he has had in many months was enjoyed tc-night by Anson E. Johnson, twenty-four, following hi: irrest for embezzling $4,598.03 from the Indianapolis Abattoir Company. Johnson lost part of the money gamb ling and spent the rest in high living. When the auditors first went over his books they were pronounced all right. But Johnson showed them how he had robbed the company, and said he wanted to pay the penalty. "I'm in wrong and I'm willing to take the consequences," said he. "There must be honesty in me, for I can't sleep. The thoughts of the short ages have kept my mind in a continual whirl, so I decided to confess."

Miss Coates has just left the Hudson Bay Company post at Rigolet for a dash to Grand Falls, which are only to be reached by a difficult aad danger ous journey of 300 miles.

NJURED RIDER IS IMPROVING VICTIM OF MOTORCYCLE AC CIDENT WILL PROBABLY BE OUT SOON. NEGRO DROWNED IN NEUSE RIVER ACCIDENT OCCURRED YES- TBRDAY AFTERNOON NEAR POCOMOKE PLANT. Charles Collins, a nineteen-year old colored youth whose home is on West street, was drowned yesterday afternnon while swimming in the waters of Neuse river near the wharf of the Pocomoke Guano Company. Collins, in company with several of bis companions, had gone down to the river to take a swim ia its re freshing waters after a day's work in a nearby mill. He plunged into the water at a point where the depth is about ten feet and as soon as he came to the surface he called for help. His companions attempted to aid him but before they could get him 'out of the water, life was extinct. A physician was summoned but Col lins was beyond all earthly aid. The physician stated that the dead man was p obably seised with an attack ol h-.-a-t trouble and this disabled him ami he was unable to swim. Acting Coroner Dr. Walter Watson was notified of the affair,, hut after learning the circumstances' decided that an inquest was unnecessary. mation of impending danger until the crash. The bow of the Greendare was stove in and the craft filled quickly, going to tbe bottom in 30 feet ol water. Cries for help brought a small fleet of boats to the scene in a few minutes, but Cap tain Williams and his crew from the steamer had picked up all the members ol the party except Mr. and Mrs. Cook, before other assistance reached them. The river trip was given in honor of guests of a house party being en tertained by Miss Woodley, members of which included Misses Annie Adams of Four Oaks, Margaret Adams of Greensboro, Allie Boomer of Suffolk, Elizabeth Coltranc of Concord, Olivia DeBcrry of Tarboro, Miss Fercbcc of Norfolk, Margaret Kicks of Louisburg, Nita Masten of Raleigh, Miss Tomlin- son of Suffolk, and a number of young people of this city. Eugene Cook, who lost his life in the accident, was one of the popular young business men of Elizabeth City. His wife was, before her mar riage, Miss Ethel Bevcridge. She was pretty and attractive. ted between the city and the Fair grounds, a fare of i;f:een cents only being charged and the trip up the river will be well worth this small charge. The nrirc of admission will bo only fifty coots and the admission ti 'the grandstand will be absolutely gratis. Everybody will be there. Make your arrangements in advance to be among those who will cheer the contestants iu the various tests of speed and courage. George Lewis, the Bridgeton young man who was seriously injured several days ago when he was thrown from a motorcycle while going at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour or more, is rapidly recovering. Mr. Lewis had a miraculous escape from fatal injury. The machine he was riding at the time is owned by Andrew Purifoy and it was the rider's first attempt to master the intricacies of a motorcycle. He had no trouble in starting off and guided the machine alongside the railroad track. Suddenly, either accidentally or intentionally, he opened the throttle and the machine shot ahead at a rapid speed. For a short distance everything went well but the rider lost control of the guiding apparatus and the machine swerved into the track and the rider was thrown for several feet. His shoul der was broken, and he also received other injuries. I he machine was b idly damaged and is now in a local repair .shop. SERVES HIS SENTENCE.

ATTENDED WEDDING AT WIN TERVILLE. NEW COAL YARD TO BE OPENED Mother's Coal and Fuel Company Latest Addition To List Of Local Enterprises. SEVERAL TAKE TREATMENT. Hookworm Dispensary in Operation Here Yesterday. F. A. HACKNEY TO BE MANAGER. Ex-Mayor C. J. McCarthy Is One Of the Stockholders And Promoter . As evidence of the fact that New Bern is fast growing, not only in population bat in the number of busi ness enterprises, another coal and fuel company has been added to the city's list of establishments of this variety. Mother's Coal and Fuel Company is the firm name of the new concern and will be owned and conducted by Ex-Mayor C. J. McCarthy and others. The company have leased the property back of the Hyman Supply Company on South Front Street and their yard will be located there. This is an excellent location for a coal and wood yard owing to the fact that there is an excellent water frontage and any boat which can be navigated in the waters of Neuse and Trent rivers can dock there. Among the contracts for fuel already made by the company is that of furnishing coal for the revenue cutter Pamlico. The yard, which will be under the management of Frank A. Hackney, will probably be opened during the latter part of next week. In addition to handling fuel, the company will also carry on hand at all times a stock of gravel and sand, and local contractors and builders will not be forced to wait for several days when they desire to purchase a boat load of either of these. Quite a number of persons visited the hookworm dispensary which was in operation at the court house in this city yesterday and took the treat ment. For six weeks these dispensaries have been in operation at different points in the county and a large number of persons have taken the treatment and have been greatly benefited. The cars of the New Bern Ghent Street Railway Company are being fitted with an entirely different style of brake than that which has formerly been in use. The brake has been in stalled on one of the cars and it has proven entirely satisfactory in every detail.

About a score of veter ans, some from Craven and others from' the adjojning connties, were on hand to get their tickets to the great cele bration and it seemed that there was on top of that there was about twice the ordinary travel. Ticket Agent Bennett is stout, and, as everyone knows the weather was more than oppressive. The ettysburg tickets, to use the words of Mr. Bennett were a mile long. The veterans, it seemed, had not calculated on the time it takes to make out one of these tickets and had waited until rather late to n ake their pur chases. The train pulled in with only about a half of the grizzled veter ans served with tickets. They got impatient and commenced to talk to Ticket Agent Bennett like they used to act towards the boys in blue. This made the ticket man hotter under the collar than he already was and he expressed his disapproval of the plan of waiting till the last minute to buy a ticket. However, the railroad folks were not . . it IJ! some to let the Dravc oia soiaiers be prevented from starting on time on the trip toward which they had been looking so fondlv. the train was held by orders from the superin tendent's office.

RED FEZ IS OPEN SESAMEj Members Of Masonic Organisa tion Gathered From All Ova North Carolina. Wrightsvilie Beach is now entertain ing several hundred members of Oasis Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine who arrived there yesterday to participate in this event. Among the Nobles who went over from this city yesterday morning were: W. T. Hill, O. A. Kafer, M. Suskins. E. B. Hackburn, W. A. Mcintosh, J. S. Basnight, Dr. J. F. Rhem, B. B.s Hurst, D. L. Ward, Ex-Jgdge O. H. Guion. Among the novices taken along by the Nobles from the city were: C. M. Heath, J. A. Street, C. A. Seifert and J. D. Williarns. These latter gentle men are known as fresh meat" and it will be the duty of the Nobles to bring them from the lowest depths of ignor ance to a plane of perfect enlighten ment. The headquarters of the Shriners is at the Oceanic Hotel and the first business meeting was held there yes terday afternoon. Last evening the Shriners paraded between the Oceanic Hotel and Lumina and the Arab Patrol of Charlotte, which will be remembered by many New Bernians on account of the imposing appearance they made on a visit here two years ago, gave a fancy drill in the Lumina pavillion. This was followed by a souvenir dance. The Wilmington Star has the fol lowing to say in regard to the events on the program for to-day, which incidentally is the last day of the meeting: Friday morning beginning at 9:30 the candidates will be given tnstru tions in some of the secrets of the order. The Tidewater Power Com pany has kindly tendered the use of Lumina pavilion and here at 11:30 the ceremonial procession across the hot sands of the desert' begins in earnest. 1 his part ot the program is not open to the public. The supply of "fresh meat" is unusually large numbering in the neighbourhood of 125. Friday afternoon the ladies will be given an automobile ride over Wil mington and its suburbs and a Junck eon at the Elk's Temple. Around the Oceanic Hotel to-day a4 Fiiday there will be varis eases distributed here and though the candidates will not be al lowed to find the mystic oasis, which is the chief joy of all Shriners, until Friday night. On the north side of the Oceanic Hotel this .oasis has been enclosed by Grand Manager H. E. Longlcy with a wire fence. Near this oasis a crescent-shaped table has been erected, and here the ban quet will take place Friday night. The paths that lead to it .are strait (not straight) and narrow, and few there be who can travel along this highway. There are sands in reality a plenty, and before the "fresh meat" arrive they will have to know many of the inner secrets of the order. In the oasis will be found the real camel's milk which is warranted to dispel all human woes and bring rest to weary souls. It relieves the thirsty, rejuvenates brokendown spirits, makes the old feel young, strengthens the weak, cheers the sorrowing and makes glad the hearts of those who partaha. Choice viands of many nations will be . s.rved, and when once the novice ha reached this spot he will be content to remain for here he will find rest from sll torture of soul and body.
