SWINDLED WILMINGTONIANS Principal of Group Is Arrested In New-Orleans. New Orleans, Dec. 13. Charles J Walker, who was arrested' Wednesday night, as a suspicious character, was declared by the police yesterday to be wanted in New York City in connec tion with a wire tapping swindle in which K. C. Sidbury and J. W. Powell, of Wilmington, N. C, were ' recently relieved of lSi.5,000. New York, Dec. 13. Ojarles G. Walker, the man arresied in New Or leans, according to the police here, answers the description of one J. N. Dowsing, for whom the New York au thorities weile searching in connection with a fake wire tapping scheme. 1 According to the Detective Bureau. Dowsing is the man who took up an' expensive residence at Wilmington N. (.'., with his wife and worked him, self into the confidence of Dr. J. W. Powell and K. C. Sidbury, lawyer there. The result was that they came to New York to take advantage of the "advance information" which the gamblers here claimed to get on horse race results, and liita thousands of dollars. This was followed by the arrest of the' ( iondorfs and several of the veter ans in New York confidence games, the North C arolinians having coiae to New York to prosecute them. After preliminary trials as the result of which a number of them were held for t it higher courts under heavy bonds, the Southerners returned home, but it ia expected that they will return to New S'ork to further prosecute the cases, which are only a few of several hundred unearthed from many parts of the country as the result of their exposure by Sidbury, It is likely that Dowsing will be brought to New York on extradition papers and that the Southerners will be asked to identify him after he is brought here, of they may be asked to go to New Orleans and see it they can complete the iden tification. J BROTHERS WE DON'T KNOW Brotherhood Central Idea of "The Servant in the House." "There's a lot of brothers knockin' about the would as we don't know of." This striking sentence spoken by the Drain-Man in the second act of "The Servant, in the House" furnishes the keynote of the entire play, which comes to the Masonic Theatre on Dec. 6. The play, which has been acclaim ed from "coast to coast as one of the greatest plays in all the wide range of English drama, and as a lasting con tribution to the English' literature, is built on the idea of universal brother hood and it: teaches with compelling force the lesson that man's highest happiness comes, from unselfish ser vice to. others. .-. . The central figure in the play is a quiet, impressive man, garbed in long, flowing oriental robes, Who has taken a place as butler in the home of aa English clergyman, and-who wields a strange, uncanny influence over every one with whom he is brought ia con MARSHBURN BUMGARDNER New Bern Man Married Thursday Night In Edenton.

FIRKDnlGES -THE GEMf JIOTEL Loss of Several Hundred Dollars Results From Defective -' Flue. . ' MUCH DAMAGE FROM WATER Firemen Responded Promptly Building and Contents Owned By J. W. Moore. Fire which is supposed to have or iginated from k defective flue caused a loss of several hundred dollars at the Gem Hotel- yesterday afternoon. The blaze is supposed to have started in between the flue and the ceiling on the lower floor and had evidently been burning for several hours before it became noticeable. The alarm was turned in from box thirty two and within a lew minutes the firemen were 'on the scene and had a line of hose in the building. Smoke wa". belching from every opening and it was no easy task to locate the seat of the blaze. This, however, was done after a short examination and a hole cut in the wall lare enough to admit the hose. It was necessary to throw a quantity of water in order to make sure of extinguishing the blaze and much personal properiywas damaged in this way, but tte fire was extinguished with in a coinparaiively short while. The building and contents are owned by J. W. Moore. The loss is partially covered by insurance. FIRE AT OIL MILL It Was Hnrd to Reach Firemen Kept Busy For Hours. Firemen worked for hours last night and this morning and used thousands of gallons of water in an effort to drown out a fire the principal sign of which was smoke issuing from a mass of seed hulls in the.buildiiig of the New Bern Cotton Oil and Fertilizer Mills. The alarm was turned in from box dL at 11:35 o'clock and not until o'clock this morning were fhe taiw for "out" sounded. It was found neces sary in order to get water on the miss of material to knock a hole in the bricjk wall of the building containing the material and also to break several of the windows. Through openings thus 'made several linos of hose were laid and water turned on in large quantities. j Without being particularly threaten ing it taxed the resources of the fire department to a greater extent than has been the case at any fire in some lime.

FINAL APPEACFDR FACTSON FREIGHT Committee Meets on Wednesday Night to Tabulate The In formation Obtained. MANY ARE YET DELINQUENT Have Made All Kinds cf Promises But Figures Wanted are Not Forthcoming. (By J. Leon Williams.) There will be a meeting of the com mittee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to tabulate information received relative to the amount of freight handled in and out of New Bern, next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. This is a final appeal io th-jse who have not sent in this information to get busy. A number hae niailc all kind:, of promises, but after n .acted efforts on the part of the Chamber of Com merce, the information has not been forthcoming. The following who have sent in this information among the lumber mills are as follows: Tolson Lbr. Co., Pine Lbr. Co., Clark I.br., Co., Broad dus & Ives Lbr. Co., West Box & I.br. Co., Thus it can be seen thai there are at least four large lumber companies ho have not given this information. Hollister & Cox and Ellis Caol and Wood Yard have come across with information relative to the coal and wood business. The following wholesale grocers have sent in blanks properly filled out: E. K. Bishop & Co., Armstrong Gro. Co., National Biscuit Co., S. G. Roberts, Neuse Grocery Co., and Lucuas Si Lewis. Thus it can be readily seen that there are at least five large whole sale grocers who are conspicuous, on account of the absence of their names above. C. L. Spencer, Burrus & Co. and Charles B. Hill have given information relative to the feed business. There are others who, have kept silent in several languages. The Pepsi Co'a Bottling Works, The Coca Cola Bottling Works and (he Crown Bottling Works have given all inforamtion in reference to the bottling business of New Bern. The Richardson Printing Co., and E. J. Land Printing Co. have carefully answered all questions in reference to the stationery and printing business. J. G. Dunn & Co., S. Coplon & Son, I. M. Mitchejl J. J. Baxter. D. F. Jarvis, -Samuel I iouian, Philip Howard, New York Supply Co, and Fans Nassef are the list of dry goods people who have ent in information. There are others in this business who have ignored our appeal. ' A number of our most prominent retail grocers don't seem to realize the importance of this movement of trying to get the A. C. L. into this city, for if they did, it don't seem to me that we would have to beg them repeatedly to give us this information. The following have responded: B. B. Davenport Broad Street Grocery Co., H.'C. Armstrong, Lewis C Franks, Willis Grocery Co., George T.JIudson, William Lorch and Joseph Zaytoa. . One of the principal industries of New Berntodav is the manufacturing and distributing of fertilizers. ' As I have notified all oersons that this in- information will be strictly confidential. I can see no reason why anyone should object to giving this information The following y fertilizer distrib utors have responded::. D-- B. Martin & -Co., . - - . ' , . v.

John, the six-year-old son. of Dr. and Mrs. E. T. Carter, was Gainfully burned late yesterday afternoon when his clothing became ignited from a box of matches with which he and a companion were playing. The little boy had been allowed to go to a nearby house to play with a little neighbor. The two children secured possession of a box of matches and began btriking ihem. In some way the vic'im's sleeve on his right arm became ignited and although both he and his companion endeavored to extinguish the fire they failed to do so As the fire increased and the pain be came more intense the little boy ran screaming to the street. A lady who lives in the vicinity heard the screams aad rushing to the street with her broom in hand suceeded in extin guishing the blaze. The child was carried into his hime and a physician summoned at once. Upon his arrival he made an exami nation of the child's injuries and ren dered medical aid. He stated that although the burns were painful and would require some time to heal they were not serious unless some unexpect ed complications occurred. Last night the little fellow was resting as well as could be expected under the cir cumstances. MR. KEARNY ARRIVES. J. Lawrence Kearny of Perth Amboy, .N. J., arrived Usl night to spend the winter. For several winters past he has been coming here to escape the severe weather which orevails in Jersey. Commenting on the cir cumstance of his having arrivd or Friday the thirteenth, Mr. Kerny mentioned without any trepidation that he occupied chair number thirteen on the chair ca from Philadelphia to Norfolk and was assigned to chair number thirteen when he boarded the New Bern train at Norfolk. "No, I ?m not a bit superstitious," he said. "The only unpleasant thing that has befallen me is this bad cold which 1 caught en ro ite and I will get over that after a' few days spent in the balmy climate of New Bern." Mr. Kearny is stopping temporarily at Mrs. Walter Duffy's. New Bern Cotton Oil & Fertilizer Mills, E. K. Bishop & Co., Pocomoke Guano Co., E. H. & J. A. Meadows Co. A number of horsemen buy, horses, wagons and harness from a distance, and I am sure that the Railroad companies do not handle this traffic for nothing. We make one more plea to this class, asking them to stop their business for a few minutes and give us this information. I. A. lones is the only one who has "come across." Of the many builders in New Bern, Underwood & Rhodes is the only name in this class that can be found on the register. We would like to hear from the others. The Enterprise Brick & Tile Co. are the only biick people who have deemed it of sufficient importance to let us know the amouat'of brick that they are handling in and out of New Bern. Cotton is probably one of the biggest items of freight that leaves the city, and yet Joseph R. Ball, is the only one who has given us information along this lins. "Mr. Cotton Man", don't you think it would help your business don't you think it would helpNew Berp to get a northern outlet for our traffic. I am sure it would help your business, - so reconsider the ; matter and let us have this information at bncer Thereare several large :furniture stores in, New Bern, all of them doing a good business, however, only two of them seem to he in - sympathy , with. this movement, for - Only 1 J. S. Miller and WP. Jones have seut in the blanks properly filled out. We will be glad to hear, from the . other furniture men at once.-i, ' v v There are a number of drug stores in the city.D. R. Davis is the only one who has 'responded. 1 1 v ' The following ' represent a , mis cellaneous class of people who " have been heard from! Those who do not see their' names among this list are requested to let us have this infor mation at ' once, for this is our .last appeal: New Bern Iron Works & Sup ply Co., New Bern Electric & Supply Co., O.
