LOCAL GARS BY SEPT. 1 OR ELSE CITY WILL KNOW REASON At Adjourned Meeting Hoard of Al dermen Last Night Adopted Stren uous Resolutions at Instigation of Alderman Marshall Dilling Local Car Service Expected Soon or ' Franchise May Re Forfeited Paving Problems Up for Settle mentOther Matters Disposed of. At an" adjourned meeting of the board of aldermen last night wltn all the members present except .Mr. A. E. Moore, several matters were disposed of. Probably the most Im portant in the eyes of the publif was the resolution adopted by the board requiring the Piedmont & Northern Ralilway to put on locaJ street car service by September 1st. or show cause why their franchise to operate through the streets or Gastonla should not be forfeited. This resolution, a copy of which ts to be mailed to the interurban offi cials, was adopted as the result or a fiery speech from Alderman Dilling who said that the P. & N. people had been promising local car service all summer, that in fact it was firs: promised by July, 1912, and thai delays and promises were the only things obtainable rrom trie railway offlctals. As is generally known throughout the town, at nearly ev ery meeting of the aldermen durins the summer, the statement has been made by the P. & N. that they wouic have cars running within 30 days or I", days. Mr. Dilling said that the City of Gastonla had conceded too much to the P. & N. in the way or franchises and use of streets to be trifled with in this manner. In this assertion he was ably seconded by Alderman McEntlre who was also very vehement In his expression or the wish that something be done, that the people of Gastonla had been expecting local service for tne past year or more especially within the past three months and that he thought some stringent action was necessary. A warm discussion fol lowed and opinions differed. It was pointed out that certain members of the board in conversation with Mr. W. S. Lee, general manager, had learned that the local cars to be us ed had been finished long ago ana were in the shops at High Point, but that the motors to be used had nor. been delivered from the factory. They also stated that It was Mr. Lee's wish to have the local service put on In Gastonla Just as soon as possible and that he would be glad of a chance to Come to Gastonla and explain Just how It was that the company had failed to comply wltn their contract. Alderman Dlllln and McEntlre, however, held to their original declaration, that the town and citizens had been dallied with long enough and that there was no time like the present for action. S-o firmly did they hold to these con victions and so strongly did they present their views to the board that City Attorney Mangum was In structed then and there to draw up the above-named resolution, which It is hoped will produce the desired effect, although, as Mr. McEntlre Jocularly suggested, "It was a sin to make those P. & N. people tell any more falsehoods about when they were going to put on local cars." It was brofught out that Mr. Lee had said that if absolutely necessa ry some of the heavy Interurbans cars now in use between Gastonla and Charlotte might be rigged up temporarily until the regular local cars could be equipped. Mr. J. W. Tlmberlake appearing for the Ford Undertaking Company succeeded in having repealed the ordinance that discriminated against the undertakers In favor of the dealer in coffins and caskets as a side line. If the latter fulfilled the functions of an undertaker, then the license tax should be the same as for the undertaker and It was so.de creed by the board. Several complaints were heard from various citizens in regard to damages done by the grading for tne street alignment and in laying tne concrete sidewalks. Mr. L. H. Long said that the trees in front of his house on Franklin avenue had been irreparably injured. Messrs. Gray son & Johnston, owners of property near the Loray Mill objected to cer tain damages alleged to have been sustained. All these complaints were referred to the street commit tee who, with Mayor Armstrong as an advisory member, are looking in to the troubles today with the hope of straightening out whatever dif ficulties may exist. For the water and lights commit tee, Mr. Dilling reported that the work of laying sewer and water mains was progressing satisfactorily and that the question of the location of the main sewer outle't for . tne city was as yet undecided upon, but that it would be agreed upon within a few days. Chairman Beal of the Fire Com mittee recommended certain changes and Improvement in the fire de partment, chjef among which was the employment of regular firemen by the city and the purchase of a chemical tank for use In extlnguisn Ing small biases. He stated that the greatest damage from fires In Gas tonla resulted from water and thai this could be eliminated by the use of the chemicals. He also recom mended an Increase In the salaries of the two drivers of the wagon. The question of an additional - or extra fire station to be located In the Loray Tillage was brought up by ,T SENSATIONAL GETAWAY FROM ASYLUM Murderer of Stanford White Makes Sensational Get-Away from New York Insane Asylum Where He Had Been Confined for Years. Matteawan, N. Y., Aug. 17. Har ry Kendall Thaw, .the slayer or Stanford White, escaped from the Hospital for the Criminal Insane here at 7:45 o'clock this morning. A dart for liberty through an open gate, a leap into the open door of a powerful automobile that stood quivering outside and a flight like a rocket for the Connecticut State line, 30 miles away, accomplished his es cape. Tonight he was still at large and the hospital authorities felt certain he was outside the State. Once ne yond its boundaries Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps years, of liti gation, can bring him back to Mat teawan and then only In one event that he be adjudged Insane In tne State to which he has fled. Five confederates manned the car In which Thaw escaped and a big black limousine which trailed It past the asylum gate. The police have the descriptions of Thaw's confeder ates and the names under which they registered at a local hotel Fri day night and are seeking them. The hospital authorities believed that Shaw flpd to the shore of Lons Island Sound and boarded a yacht waiting with steam up to rush him to Europe. The shades were drawn In tne dormitories and the Inmates were getting their second sleeo when Thaw, fully dressed, left his room this morning. The milkman's .-ri was rumblin on the road outside as he walked through the storeroom nnd into the outer court, or yard o" the asylum grounds. Barnum, soie attendant at the road gate, was na lng back and forth when Thaw clos ed the store-room aoor behind him and apparently did not grasp tub signinctinr-e of Tha'c early rising. Long years' residence at the asyl um and reported declarations by Thaw tlia. he would never attempt to obtain his freedom except by le gal means had established Thaw status as a "trusty." There was lit tle out cf the ordinary in his ap pearance, r-ven at so early an hour in the courtyard, and If Barnum saw him- as to this no one save the hospital authorities could say to night dnJ they refused to talk ne rnised lio question. A slx-cyllnder touring ar, black and 60-horsepow-er, follr-weti by a limousine, also black, loafed lazily along the roal as the milkman dre near the gate. Thaw, sending a few feet away, ap parent'.y unconcernea, waited till Barnum unlocked the gate and swung 't wide to let the milkman enter. At ; he same moment the two cars drew up on tho farther side ot the road opposite the gate and stop ped, 'heir engines throbbing. A3 Barnum stepped aside for the milk man to drive inside the grounds he heard the gravel crunch beneacn Thaw's l'cet and looking up sa Thaw flus-h past him through th gate to one of the waiting cars. Will a shout Earnum started in pursuit but a .lying leap landed Thaw sare in tho cm. The automobile wheels began turning before the keeper fairly reached the roadway and they were throwing up a cloud of dust before he had gone 25 feet. The asylum housed Thaw not as a murderer, but as an Insane person. The Jury which sent him here ac quitted him of the murder of Stan ford White on the same grounds as caused his incarceration in the hos pital for the criminal insane that of Insanity. Hence he could not te brought back to New York on the old murder charge. He could not, therefore, be arrested In any other State for extradition, the hospital authorities said tonight, as he is charged with no crime. In this view, the hospital authori ties were supported by Dr. Austin Flint, the exnert of New York, who testified In all the criminal proceed ings against Thaw, Dr. Charles Ken nedy, of New York, who has appear ed several times as Thaw's counsel in the various insanity hearings, and by other lawyers. Mr. Settlemyre. He said that the folks out there needed more protec tion. In this he was supported by Mr. Beal. These recommendations were referred to the fire committee. Mr. Beal also stated that Capt. Jas. D. McNIell, of Fayetteville, presi dent of the North Carolina Fire men's Association, would be In town tonight and would address the peo ple of Gastonla, especially those in terested in better fire protection and more modern equipment. Mr. Beal earnestly requested that as many people as possibly can attend this meeting tonight. The renort of Treasurer S. S. Shu ford as filed by Clerk J. R. Rankin was ordered accepted and published. The board of charities was allowed $200 to snend with the proviso that they could have more if necessary. City Physician Stovall's report for July was read and accepted. There was so much work of a pressing nature to be done by the board that they adjourned to meet next Tuesday night, the 26th. The sanitary ordinances which have been in the committee's hands, together with an unusually large amount of postponed business make It impera tive that the aldermen meet again so soon to relieve the congested stats of affairs. ' , . HARRY K HAW ESCAPES COURT MI SESSION JUDGE CONNOR OF WILSON PRESIDING August Term Gaston County Supe rior Court for Trial of Criminal Cases Now in Session Minor Cases Disposed of Monday and To-Day William L. Dunn, Alia "Irish Jimmy," Up To-Morrow. With Judge George W. Connor, of Wilson, ex-speaker of the House of Representatives presiding over its sessions and with Solicitor George W. Wilson, of Gastonla, represent ing the State, the August term or Gaston County Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases convened in the court room here yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. This is Judge Connor's first appearance m Gaston county and the old adage that first Impressions are always ra vorable was never truer than in this case. Judge Connor has Impressed the members of the local bar, spec tators and those who have met him as being a man of unusual ability both as a jurist and as a man. The fact that such a young man as tie should have been appointed to the bench by Governor Craig shows the estimation In which he Is held. He was speaker of the House of Repre sentatives at Raleigh during the last session of the General Assembly and his colleagues both in the House and the Senate regard him highly. Soon after the adjournment of the Legislature he was appointed judge by Governor Craig In the second district to fill the vacancies created by the establishment of new judicial districts over the State. Mr. Connor is only 4 0 years of age and his looks belle his years. He graduated from the State Uni versity In 1892 and. engaged tn teaching and banking before study ing law. He was admitted to the bar In 1900 and in 1903 formed a partnership with his brother, H. G. Connor, Jr., of Wilson. Their fath er, H. G. Connor, Sr., Is United States District Judge of the Eastern District, of North Carolina. Mr. Connor's charge to the grand jury, while devoid of any startling statements or fierce denunciations, was plain, simple and strong. He reviewed briefly the common law as to crimes and misdemeanors. Im pressed upon the Jurors their sworn duty as to presentments, as to their obligations to the county and their duty to the citizens. His firm grasp and knowledge of the finer points of law was everywhere apparent. Since the trial of cases has begun Mr. Connor has impressed all by his sense of justice and fairness. He grasps the facts in a case with re markable acumen and sizes up the situations accurately and clearly. Evil-doers, when brought before him, are not only made to suffer for their transgressions, but by forceful heart-to-heart talks from Mr. Con nor they are made to see the error of their way and are thoroughly re pentant. The case around which all Interest is centering and which overshadows all others as far as the public is con cerned is that of William Dunn, bet ter known in Gastonla by the sob riquet "Irish Jimmy," who is to be tried for burglary. The history of the crime and his subsequent capture and Incarceration in tne Gaston jail is well-known to Ga zette readers. His case has been set for tomorrow. His wife, a delicate looking, refined little woman wltn pleasing features and a decided for eign lisp has been here for more than a week. She has retained Messrs. Mangum & Woltz to defend her husband. Already she is begin ning to be a familiar figure around the court house and jail as she goes from one to the other on business connected with her jall-blrd help meet. That the court room will be crowded to Its doors tomorrow when "Irish Jimmy" .is called is already apparent. The grand jury for this term of court as empaneled yesterday is an follows: S. S. Mauney, foreman; J. K. Collins. George Caldwell, C. C. Clark, John M. Pasour, J. C. Slpe, A. M. Harwell, J. R. Rogers, Jos. Fulton, K. Richardson, Jos. Harrel son, Burt Cloninger, P. M. Dixon, J. B. Bennett. J. A. Allran, A. F. Hen ry, A. M. MUlen, Fletcher Delllnger.
