THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH,: WEDNESDAY , AFTERNOON, SEPT EMBER 6,tJ.916... PAGE EIGHT n: it 1 STREET v MEN FINEO IN COURT Participants in Affray With Deadly Weapons Tried Before Recorder The case of E. E. Page and Rodgers, White, charged with ing engaged in an affray with a Iy weapon some days , ago and J. A. hav-dead- the case of "J. A. Rodgers, white.1 charged with ' having' committed an v assault with a deadly weapon, attracted more than ordinary interest this morning in the Recorder's court. " ; : The case of Page and Rodgers was tried Tuesday and Rodgers .was found noF guilty. Judgment was not passed on ; Page at that time and he was summoned to appear at the hear ing against Rodgers this morning. Recorder Empie took up . both cases together and tried them at the same time. In the testimony it was brought out 'that Rodgers, who is a non-union .man, assaulted A. W. Mercer, a con ductor, and a union man, both of whom are employed by the Tidewater Power Company, when they were pre paring to make their return run from the end of the Carolina Place line on Wrightsboro avenue. Rodgers inflicted two wounds on Mercer's head with' an iron rod and was grappled by the conductor, who stated during the trial that he was only endeavoring to protect himself. When reaching the junction of the car line at Front and Princess streets Rodger&Ht is alleged, told a group of union men that if they attempted to harm him that he would give them the same dose that Mercer received. Page, at this, struck him on the bridge of the nose and broke several bones therein. It was not clearly brought out in the trial that the trouble was caused by Rodgers not being a union man but such was intimated several times. In the decision of Recorder Empie bcth Page and Rodgers were found guilty and both were required to pay a fine of $25 and costs. The case against J. R. Kennedy, deputy Internal revenue collector, a deadly weapon, was continued until deadly weapon, was continued until Thursday.. Other cases tried were " Monroe RicharSson, colored, charged with violating the tax ordinance.. He was adjudged not guiltv. Willie Delias, colored, charged with larceny, was also adjudged not guilty. RABBIT'S EYE FOR GIRL. Surgeons Will Operate Upon a Little Eskimo Girl. Portland, Ore., Sept. 6. New York's best surgeons will endeavor to restore the sight of Melba, a seven-year-old Eskimo girl, who was found deserted in an iglee by Dr. L. H. French, United States government physician in Alaska. The cornea of a rabbit will be grafted upon one affected eye and a cataract removed from the other. In charge of Mrs. Corinne Call, a government teacher, the child ar rived Th Portland recently. Mrs. Call says the Eskimos left Melba in the "Ice uhnt, hoping she would ;die. She has been totally blind for five years The trouble is diagnosed as an eruption of the cornea. How do you-r employers stand on the question of preparedness? They're for it, all right. They sleep all day at the office so they can dance at night. Exchange. CLARENCE JX. PUGH Ur. Pu0h,'of Elizabeth City, Is a prominent and well known lawyer of Elizabeth Cjty.

There was considerable fresh naint visible in splashes, more on the German officially sunk Warspit than? elsewhere, but what that meant in the way of damage was Greek to the out sider. Two facts impressed an Am-.

The only thing approaching leisure discovered was on some of the de- stroyers. These sea scouts work in shifts. Four days on active duty (a very active duty) four days in port ready to start at the drop of the hat, and four days : outf iting with more or less shore leave, is their program. Some information and scraps of gos- sip of the battle came out in the course of talk. One Item was that Admiral Beatty went through the fight on the bridge and did not take the protection Q ' of any of the armored places which p builders make for shelter in battle, q and he was under heavy fire. Another, 'p. -that when the Marlborough was hit by 'to a torpedo, and all believed that she! had only a minute or two to live, her commanders issued two orders . One i was to Close the watertight doors that she might float as long as-possible,and I the other to fire all guns at utmost! speed where there was a reasonable target. He wanted her to put in as many blows as she could at the last moment, thinking with all others on board that the hist moment had struck. There leaked out a seeming concensus of opinion that a certain high officer 4s considered just, without bowels of mercy for carelessness or slackers,! and yet men like to serve under him. Then an incidental reminiscence by a surgeon on one of the ships which had the good luck to escape being hit. He was below of course, waiting for the wounded, and playing the hardest part of that can be experienced on a ship in action. Even harder than the engineers and stokers in the depths, who work without seeing or knowing what goes on above, and how goes the battle, because he was neither work ing nor seeing. The great guns were rocking the ship and none below knew whether it was victory or all to the bottom. One of his men was absorb ed in a novel, paper covered and fray ed. Probably where heroic Algernon leaps overboard and resourses blush ing Madeline from the jaws of the shark. "I thought, he will never turn over the page," said the young sur geon, a Canadian. "I admit I thought it was a bluff. He did turn the page, and kept on reading and turning them) over. I was thinking about home and mother." On this big ship, as on all the cruis ers and destroyers, there was one strong reminder of their work. About !all the smaller guns were stacked shells lining the sides like Nanking plates on the walls of a porcelain col lector, and shells in boxes, and in baskets. "Shells, and more shells," apparently is the motto of he navy, as it is of the army." Health and Hygiene RED CROSS SEALS NOW BEING PRINTED. : Three Hundred Million Bigger, Better, Prettier Seals to Be Distributed -This Year. j Red Cross Christmas Seals for 1916 ' are now being printed in Cincinnati by the millions. The design for this year t is said to be more Attractive and of a better quality as to workmanship, ( i paper, adhesive qualities and color' j than any seal of recent years . It i shows in the center panel a Santa Clause in red on a green background ( with a pack on his back bearing a red cross. The lettering, "A Merry Christ mas" and "A Happy New Year," is carried vertically up and down the sides of the seal, while the date and me woras, American Ked Cross, are at the bottom. Mr. Cleland of New i York City designed the seal. The plans for the Red Cross seal.; campaign this year are the most ex- tensive they have ever been. Three hundred million seals wilr be distribut ed and it is expected that 100,000,000 seals or 1.000,000 worth will be sold.1 Last year 80,000,000 seal's were sold. I isorth Carolina's part in last year's j sale was 802,252 which was a per) capita sale of . 393. As the standard sale set for all states is one seal per j capita, North Carolina's sale must be ' more than doubled next year If she' would reach the standard. For the past two years she has held fifth place in her group of seventeen states, which group is based altogether on population. of Draw I nonnnoonnnnnrnnnnc; Profit L Id j LI D J Dispatck - D D D D D U.'
