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.

ron . 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-.

younger than the commanders of ships
of the same class in the American
navy, and the number and variety and,
adaptability of the supply craft, the
navy's commissary department.
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."

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.
