S. T. Wall, of Edward, Beaufort
county, was in the city Friday. He is
still very much concerned in the matter
of the opening up of a shorter route
from his section to New Bern. His
petition for the improvement of several
miles of road torn the Beaufort line
into Craven and running along by
Spring Hope church, will come up at the
next meeting of the Craven commis
sioners which will be Monday .week.
The hitch will come, says Mr. Wall,
over the fact that there are two routes
proposed and the . Commissioners will
have to choose between the two.
Mr. Wall believes, however, that it
can be demonstrated to the satistac-
tion of the Commissioners that the
route that they should select is the one
that leads by Spring Hope church.
This is the most direct route, and it is
the route that the people in Beaufort
county, who want to come to New
Bern to trade, would like to see opened
by Craven county.
The committee appointed to collect
the dues of the members of the newly
organized New Bern Gun Club were
busily engaged yesterday in attending
to their duties and succeeded in visit

There are a few who have not been

made some investigationsrttlfelative to
the mortality rates of married and un
married men, with the result that it
has been established that benedicts live
longer than bachelors.
The compiler of the statistics comes
to the conclusion that the lower mor
tality rate of married men is due to the
supervision ot tneir loou, .iougings,
hours and habits by their wives, and
to greater incentive to self-restraint
and care of health than the bachelor.
All this may be conceded. But the
figures submitted show' that the mor
tality rate of widowers and divorced
men is greater than that of the married
men or of the bachelors. Also the
death rate of single men at 70 is great
er than that of the married men of that
age. This would lead to the conclusion
that divorce is a peril to health and
life, which is a new angle from which
view the divorce problem. Further
more, the contention of relatives that

perhaps, as when the minister o(

Kaiser did not touch any alcoholic

Persons who are in close contact
with him say that this is the result
of the emperor's conviction that al
cohol lessens the working capacity of
man. He often expresses the opin

mmoderate drinking is one of the
greatest factors in retarding the de

suicides, accidents and crimes, which

merstein's answer to the Metropolitan
Opera company's injunction suit to
restrain him from giving grand opera
in English this fall, was served on
the plaintiff's attorneys yesterday after
noon. It is drawn by Ex-United States
Attorney Henry A. Wise, and alleges
that the Metropolitan Opera company
is an unlawful combination in restraint
of trade and commerce. -'
Mr. Hammerstein also alleges that

producing business, made him a men.

greed not to produce opera here for
years, and that he was not re-
ponsiblc for his acts when he signed

He says further that his son, Ar
thur, as his attorney, in fact, signed
agreement that he was to keep
out of opera when he understood that
was to have an interest in the
erger of the Manhattan and Metro
politan Opera companies. He says
love for his son prevented him
from repudiating the lattcr's acts.
Mr. Hammerstein's answer, which
makes the first use of the Sherman
nti-trust law in defending a suit over
the production of grand opera, covers
seventy-eight typewritten pages. The
nswer of his son, Arthur, which is
milar, was also served today by his
counsel.
Mr. Hammerstein's answer denied
the allegations of the Metropoli
an complaint except that he ad
mits that prior to 1910 he had '"ac-

edge of the production of grand
