Ileporl on Estimates nt Next Meet ing of City Council Would .lve City Greatly Improved Kire-l-'igjil-ing Facilities Settling; Basin to Mold Seven Million Gallons of Wa ter Being; Built Other Mallei Before the Council. At the meeting of the city council for April, held Tuesday night, trie tire committee was instructed to get prices on different kinds and makes of motor fire trucks and report on same at the May meeting of the council. Whether the city purchases the truck will depend upon the cost and the recommendation of the com mittee. With this additional equip ment the department would he abie to cope w ith much more ellic ieni y with fires and it would probably serve to enable the city to secure some reduction in lire insurance rates. At least it has had that ef fect in some other North Carolina towns. All members of the council were present at this meeting and Mayor Armstrong presided. It wan reported that weir I. had al ready been commem ed on the t ori st rin t ion of an immense settling ba sin for the city water depart menr. the contract for this having been let to Porter t Boyd, of Charlotte. This basin, which js to be located near the pumping station on Long Creek, will have a capacity nf T.oun.iion gallons of water and will largely In crease the city's water reserve. The water will settle in this basin and will be pumped from there to (tie reservoir up town. The cost will Tie only about $2,(100, ti,e hind lying so that the basin is largely a natural one, requiring as its main feature or construction a dam at one end.

Mr. George W. Wilson today in serts a formal notice of his candida cy for renomination for trie office of solicitor of the Fourteenth Judicial District. In discussing the matter Mr son said: "i announced my dacy some time ago. I thou---. . some time that 1 would iiot W i ! an i -: !; h.i e any opposition, but I ha."

I think that niost or Its citizens feel that having the judge, who will be indorsed by the district for another term, according to the lime honored custom, that .Mecklen burg has really the lion's share, and that they are quite content to Ier Gaston have the solicitor "I am very much gratified with the breadth of mind and the fair ness of spirit manifested by my friends in the district. I think that it is fortunate that we have a dis trict comprised of two progressive counties like Gaston and Mecklen burg, whose interests are so nearly allied. Our cities are progressive and cosmopolitan. Charlotte cer tainly is not a 'village in the Alps," but is thoroughly in toucn with tne interest's of the other parts of then district. I feel confident that I shall have almost the unanimous endorse ment of both counties. My friends have always been loyal and I have entire confidence in them." TRIP AliOI'MI r ii i : world.

Atkinson Comiiany IJo Factory Turning Out Car Load oi flnic Per Hay of Boxes jirge Local Demand lor I be Proil al W hich is I Ned by All the Cot IrVn Mills in Shipping hi ns and Cloth. So widely and so well is Gastonia Known as a textile center and a pro ducer of yarns and cloth that the coming of an Industry of an entirely different character marks an Inter esting turn in the development of the city's industrial life and consti tutes the beginning of a diversifica tion which is greatly needed and will he of immense importance io the progress of the city. The box factory owned by Mr. J. H. Atkinson, formerly of Lenoir, lias now been running a little over three mouths, having commenced opera tions in January. The factory is lo iated on the Carolina Ai Northwest ern liailway in the northern part oT the iiiy, a short distance beyond the i e plant of the Gastonia Ice & Coal Company. For the litsl time since the plant has been i mining at full capacity a representative ol The Ga zette called at the faitory yesterday and was shown through the plant by Mr. Atkinson. The rapidity witti which i he routh lumber is worked through the inaihineiy and made ready to load on the iars is extreme ly interesting. On the i lass of wort now being done pine lumber of one at.d a ipiarier inch thi kness is used. 'I'll i si is lirst resawed on a larue batni saw which has a capacity of L'u.unn feet a day and from this goes to the planer where it is dressed to the re iiiirel thickness of half tin im Ii. It is next cut into the reiiiired lengths and then matched. The end frames are then nailed and the ends and sides are packed (lat in ( titles. Mr. I!. A. Munday, the superin tendent in charge, has under him a force of between 25 and 30 skilled workmen, and with (his force turns out an average of over a carload oT boxes per day. It is planned to in croase the capacity of the plant at an early dale provided sufficient work men can be found. The factory Is also equipped to work up building material, such as Mooring, ceiling and siding, when not busy on box work, but at present (he orders ahead for boxes are keeping the en tire force busy. The product of the fai tory is used by practically till the Gastonia cot ton mills, being used as packing ras es for shipping the various forms or yarn and cloth manufactured here. Before the coming of the new enter prise it was necessary for the local mills to buy their par king cases else where and there was often delay and diflii ulty in celling boxes when need ed. The new arrangement makes it possible for the local mills to get small quantities of boxes when need ed by sending wagons direct to the box fac tory. Large shipments, how ever, are loaded into freight cars on the siilinir of the Carolina North western Railway and shipped in the same manner as any other freight to the various mills, even those right In the dty. Mr. Atkinson expresses himself as being extremely well pleased with the increase in business, which has been a steady one since the plant be gan operation in January. He is able to make his customers the same delivered price which they were ac customed to pay when they bought boxes elsewhere, and effects a con siderable savitit; on the freight cliarni's. He has sawmills in Cleve land. Gaston and York counties cut ting timber which ho has bought staiiditii:. and finds it necessary to buy additional lumber to meet 'the heavy demand for his product. Aii iiin-t est i ng fai t in reuaul to this plant is that it furnishes it-, own fuel tn L-ciicrate power. The facto ry is e'juipped with a system of air conveyors by which the ha int;.. sawdust, etc., from each of the ma chine., is carried to the boiler room and fed automatically to the fires under the boilers, produiiiiL- ample fuel to keep up the hundred horse power necessary to operate the ma chinery. In fact there is at presenr a surplus of this waste, more than is necessary for the use of the plant. Mr. J. H. Atkinson, the proprietor of tho new entern-rise was for mor" than 15 years connected with tne Wilson Lumber Company at Inoir, having owned an interest In the Tiox factory formerly operated at Lenr.tr by that firm. The machinery now being used here, exc ett that pa:: bought new for the Gastonia facto ry, was purchased by Mr. Atkinson in Morganton. but was moved to Gastonia on account of Mr. Atkin son's decision that Gastonia was tn every way the most suitable location in this section of the State for oUcd an enterprise. In addition to bfeliiK right in the midst of a large group of cotton mills that use the produc:. Gastonia is also found to be a very advantageous point as to the rail road facilities for shipping the lrm ber in. Mr. Atkinson Is now spending a part of his time each week in Le noir and a part in Gastonia, but ex pects to move his family here nest month and make this his permanent home, also bringing the office of tb firm here.

HUERTA TO APOIOGIZHO UNCLE SAM Pros MM-1 of War Between I'nited States and Mexico, Strongly Apw parent a ly or Two Ago, Averted! by Mexican Ruler's Agreement to Salute the Star, and Stripe Mum Indignities llaxe Been .Suf fered by I'nclfl Sam President Wilson's Views on the Situation. For the past two or three days "war talk" has had right of way al most every where in this country. President Huerta's refusal to salute the Stars and Ftripes and his con doning of indignities heaped upon I'ncle Sam's employees and subjects In Mexican ports, had brought about a situation that had become almost intolerable and il looked as If war was the only alternative. However, when Huerta realized that Unlce Sam meant business he agreed to make reparation by firing a salute of guns to the American flag antf promising to behave In the future. Thus is a big crisis ended, for the lime being anywav. An Associated Press dispatch from Washington to this morning's papers said in part : "Tho I'nited States Government tonight accepted General il'ifilus offer to salute the Mars and Stripes as an apology for the arteef of American bluejackets at Tampt co a week ago today. Th" Huorta Government's salute to the Ainerisoil hag will lie answered with a salute tr tho tri-color of the Movb'ai Nation. "This arrangement, the detalU o? v h i p weri being finally arrar.cd to night in an exchange of official messag"s between Washington and Mexico Cifv, ended, in the view of all high Administration officials the crisis that had resulted in the dis patch of American war fleets to Mexican waters. Fxecutlve offlcera and Congressmen breathed a i-lh of relief thai the tension had paused." WILSON PKT.S FORTH POSITION. The position or the administra tion as Ibe President explained It to members of the senate and house committees on foreign affairs and as it was substantially reviewed In the notes sent to all foreign govern ments, is described in a statement given out during the day, which was prepared by high administration of ficials. The statement follows: "In discussions in official circles in Washington of the present Mexi can situation the following points have been very much dwelt upon: "It has been pointed out that, tn considering the present somewhat delbate situation in Mexico, the un pleasant incident at Tampico must not be thought of alone. For some time past the defacto government of Mexico has seemed to think mere apologies sufficient when the rights of American citizens or the dignity of the government of the United States were involved, and has ap parently made no attempt at either reparation or the effective correction of the serious derelictions of its civil and military officers. AMFRICAN PAIIm PICKED FOR INSULT. "Immediately after the Incident at Tampico. an orderly from one of the ships of the United States in the harbor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent ashore to the postofflce for the ship's mail and who was in uniform, and who had the official mail bag on bis back, was arrested ;'iid put into Jail by the local authorities He was subsequently released and a nomin al punishment inflicted upon the of- I ficer who had arrested him. but it j was significant that an orderly from ! the fleet of the I'nited States was I picked out from the many persons 'constantly goiim ashore on various I errands from the various ships in the I harbor. repreen ' i n - sewral na lion's. i "Most serious of all. :l.e offi. ials ! in charue of i t ml-i iph o'hee at Mexico City !rc-i:niid !o withhold j an official di-p.i' is cf the L'overn i inetit of the Crimed .-'ares to its em bassy at Mexb o City, until it had been sc-tit -n the cet.Mir and his per-inis-iot! received to deliver it. and irave -he dispatch into the hands of the charue d'affaires of the Unit- j ed Sta'es only upon his versionai and emphatic demand, he having in the meantime learned throueh other Irhaniiels that a dispatch had been ! sent him which he had not received. i "It cannot but strike anyone who has watched the course of events in Mexico as significant that outward incidents such as these have not oc curred in any case where represent atives of other trnvernmentg were concerned, hut only in dealines with representatives of the United States and that there has been no occaston for other governments to call atten tion to such matters or o ask for apologies'. SINGLET) OUT UNITFn ?TTKR. "These repeated offenses nz&inst the rights and dignity of the United States, offenses not duplicated wltn regard to the representatives of oth er governments, have necessarily made the impression that the gor ernment of the United States was singled out for manifestations of IU will and contempt.
