Meetings are called for both the First and Second wards to ibo held Thursday evening in the respeotive wards. When these meetings are held candidates will have been named in all four wards for the approaching city election. " Matters nave reached the stage now where there is a hard fight and a fight of some bitterness and feeling.

Ihere were a large number present, more than one hundred and . fifty taking part in the meeting, besides those there were a large number who did not take part when matters became acute. A bolt was at tempted and , probably twenty walked out of the meeting. These were those wno were in favor ot the renomination of the two old candidates from that ward, J. P. Wily and W. J. Griswold. Since this meeting there has been on tnis move for a general city convention, to nominate without respect to the wishes of the wards, this being called for Friday night. ., One side is saying that the ward elec tions are "packed" affairs and that the people should not stand by this work, while at the same time calling a con vention for. the ronomination of the en tire old board.

BODY OF MURDERED MAN IS FOUND 6Y WATCHMAN Bullet Hole in Top of Head Tells Story of Foul Play Victim Is Not Identified. With a bullet hole in the top of his head, an unidentified negro man was found dead at a point a short distance east of the plant of the Hardwood Man ufacturing Company last night, and al though the man was evidently murdered, the police are without a clue. The body was discovered about 11.30 o'clock by the watchman at the Hardwood compa ny's plant and the police were immedi ately notified. . Policemen Marsh and Jones, accompanied by Coroner J. P. Turner, hurried to the scene. Tho body was found lying near a, small gutter, the face of the man up turned. Dr. Turner made hurried ex amination and found the wound in the head. By the dead man's side, almost within reach, was a loaded, - revolver. None of the shells had been fired. A search of the dead man's clothing failed to reveal 'anything by which he could be identified. After making ' a eareful investigation, Dr. Turner had the body removed to JSeil'a undertaking establishment where it will be prepared for burial, v. - "; ..' . -' v ' ' ) Dr. Turner is of the opiliion that the negroV, was . murdered.

MORE THAN FIVE MILES OF STREETS WERE GRADED City Engineer's Report is Submitted With That of Mr. Hunter's Chair man Thompson, of Sewer Committee, Reports Two- Miles of New Sewer. At a called meeting of the Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon Alderman Hunter, chairman of the street commit tee; Alderman Thompson, chairman of tne sewer committee; and City Engin eer Potter gave accounts of their stew ardship since their election nearly two years ago. The reports were adopted and spread upon the minutes.- They show that considerable progress has been made in street improvement, grad ing, sidewalk construction, curbing, etc., and a large amount of new sewer lines laid. :.. Mayor Murphy presided and Aldermen Hunter, Harrison, Odell, Thompson and Wysong were present. In addition to receiving the reports, other routine busi ness was transacted. Following is -the report of Mr. Hunter, chairman of the street committee : Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Greensboro, N. C. I herewith submit the .report of the city engineer and superintendent of streets, giving information regarding the amount and character of work done, as ordered by your board from time to time, covering a period Irom May 3, 190 to April 1. 11(07. In compiling ' these reports,' we have earnestly endeavored to make the same as full ana complete as possible, so as to cive the cithvms of Greensboro a full d - wmrplettrOrcr oT"otir "stew ardship. v . It is needless to say here that the demands on your street 'department have been very heavy. . In entering upon our duties as chairman of the street com mittee, our first report emphasized the fact that 85 or 90 per cent, of our citi zenship did move walking than , they did riding, and that we could serve the greatest majority of our citizenship by making it possible to have a bet ter y stein of sidewalks. In compli ance with this report, the board ordered a number of strets graded, and the en gineer's report submitted herewith gives the amount of curb laid and the amount of grading, together with the amount of concrete sidewalks, .together with the old brick sidewalks, and it will be clearly seen that we have more con crete sidewalks in Greensboro today than we have of brick. There should be at leat five or six miles of sidewalk put down, at once, or as soon as pos sible, as the curb lias all been set and the sidewalks put in condition for this additional improvement. We would further call your attention to tho system of records which we are now keeping in the engineers office, which enables us" to know the amount of work done on each street of tho city, in other words, we are keeping account with the dilferi'iit streets practically, in the same way and manner as a mercan tile house keep its accounts with its customers. These -records are for from complete and should be added to and improved irom time to nine. In submittine your this, our report we would recommend that the board (Continued on Page Six.) marks of powder burns, and none of these were found. The man had ap parently been dead but a short time when the officers and the coroner ar rived on the scene. The watchman who discovered the body says that he heard no pistol shots and it is supposed tnat tne man was killed while the watchman was in a remote part of the building. , M'hs shoes and lower part of the dead man's trousers were covered with mud, but there was no sign of a struggle in the vicinity of the spot where the body was found. . The affair is shrouded in mystery, and all efforts on the part of the police to learn anything concerning the murder have so far been futile. After the inouest, which will be held todav. the body, if still unidentified, will be buried in the potter's field. SNOW BLOCKS TRAFFIC Iff VALLEY OF VIRGINIA Winchester, Va., April 9.

It appears tonight that July 4, ItHiS, will be the day when the control of Cuban - affairs'' i . g back to the Cuban people. 1 The Liberals are anxious that the final elections be held in December,' 1907, and the government '.turned over May 20, 1908, the anniversary of the inaugu ration of the first Cuban republic; they also want the municipal and provincial elections hold simultaneously. The Con- ! servatives, on the other hand, desire that the final elections be held later than next December, and that the mu nicipal and provincial elections be held eix month apart. In view of this divergence of desire, a compromise which will result in the turning over of the control of Cuban af fairs on the American Holiday w proD able. ; ; It is know that Secretary Taft in sists upon a thorough census, consider ing such a step absolutely necessary be fore successful i elections can De neia. This undoubtedly will require more than four months, the estimate of time there for made by the Liberals. Consequently the municipal elections would fall in Oc tober or November, but as December is the month for harvesting the sugar crop, it i recognized that elections in October" or November are impracticable n they would pretty thoroughly die- organize tne community at just tne time when the frretatest number of men arc needed in the fields. The wishes of the planters,, therefore, will be heeded, and the next Cuban sugar crop will be gathered under Amer ican control. , . Roosevelt Must Speak in Norway. Christiana, April 9.
