J .u. tr-JS PGLICEMAff RQWE TS Victim Was A Negress And Was Attempting To Escape Detection. MISTAKEN FOR A FUGITIVE Negroes Wanted For Highway Robbery Escape During The Excitement. Carrie Starkey, colored, was acci dentally shot in the left leg and that limb broken by Policeman F. P. Rowe, yesterday morning when she attempted to cscaoe from a house in which Bud and Senas Green, two notoriously Lid colored men lor wnom tne pclice were searching were hiding without ttilin the officers who she was. Late Monday nij;ht Chief of Police C. Lunton received information that Bud Green, who is wan'ed on a clnrge of highway robbery, coeld be found in a house on "B" street in the northern part of the city. Securing the assistance of Policeman1 F. P. Rowe, A. L. Bryan, and McDaniel, Chief Lupton went to the house in which Green was sup posed to be hiding. The Chief knocked at the door and upon receiving no reply, walked into the house. The interior of the place was dark and the Chief turned to the door to get an elec tric flash light from one of the officers Just at this juncture there was a scramb ling noise in the room and Green jumped through an open window and literally flew" over ground toward Duffy town. Upon investigating Chief Lupton found loaded shot gun lying on the bed which Green had just vacated and also a pair of brass knucks and a razor were found in the pockets of his trousers which he had left lying on a chai- in his haste to get away. Believing that Green had gone to the home of his brother, Senas-Green, in Duffy town, the officers lost no time in getting there. Upon their arrival they were greeted by the same darkened and silent house and repeated knocks on the door to bring a reply. Hearin; a noise around on one side of the build ing fo iceman Kowe ran around to that point and was just in time to see a pair of legs n the act of disappear- ng into the window of another structure just a few feet apart from the one in which the Green brothers were supposed to be. Thinking that it was one of these men attempting to escape by that route the officer raised his revolver and fired. Immediately there was scream and upon investigation the officers discovered that the supposed Green was Carrie Starkey who had been in the house and was aHemtpt ing to get out without btir.r; seen During the excitement following the discovery that a woman had been shot, both Bud Green and his brother Senas walked out of the house and have not been seen since that time, although diligent search was made for them all during yesterday and last nijht. Officer Rowe regrets rhoo :i an innocent penon but when pc ); '.o ,!ac; themselves in such places and a. critical moments the blame falls a., mucii on them as upon any ot'icr per son. 'The Wood-Lane. D.-tig Cc.npany, located at 105 Middle street, have just installed aCnumber of laatent sanitary straw- .noWers for their 6oda fountain patrons'.

SHOO A WOMAN ; : GLENNBURNIE PARK GRANDSTAND be used by the members of the'North ,Garolina Federation afternoon during LAST REGULAfl MEETING HELD Present Board of Alderman Tran sact Business For Last Time. VERY LITTLE WAS DONE Thomas Kehoe Makes Report Of The City's Financial Condition. The last regular meeting of the pre sent Board of Aldermen of the ciiy of 'New Bern was held last night. Next Friday night the new Board will be sworn in and judging from the proceed ings of the meeting last night then was a tendency to leave as much a possib'e of the business to be transacted to this board. The session consumed but little more than an hour and a oodly portion of this time was taken up yitn tne report ol l nomas te loe, re.-ently appointed to audit the city's books. Mr. Kehoe's report was ccmp'ete in every detail and will tie puni'slicd in the Journal during the next fen days, the Board ordering this done in order that the citizens of the city c ' dd see just how the financial affairs stand. Alderman Disosway reported that the laying of the sewerage in Riverside was rapidly nearing completion. Alderman Kafer made a motion that the city attorney be instructed to cor respond with local superintendent of the Norfolk Southern Railway Com pany relative to the cinder pit on Dunn street. Alderman bills stated that he had been informed by Mr. Ackers, the local superintendent of this com pany, that the company was intending to take this matter up at an early date and no action was taken on Mr. Kafer's motion. There was some discussion of the payment of a bill presented by G. N. Ives & Son for $154,10 for oyster shells furnished the city. The bill was not properly inspected and hence the discussion but upon being voted upon it was allowed. J. L. Taylor was granted permission to connect his house on National Ave nue with the water main. Several citizens in Riverside we-'e also granted permission to connec vrh the water main, they to pay a!! expenses. SCHOOL PUPILS CELEBRATE. Build Bonfire and Rejoice Over Victory of Bond Issue. Several hundred pupils of the New Bern Public Schools last night cele brated the passage of the bond issue in a very appropriate and enthuiast c manner. A large bonfre was built on one corner of the academy green and around this the boys and girls sang, skipped and hurrahed to their heart's content. The pupils of the school were greatly interested in the bond issue and did much to bring about yesterday's victory. J. R. Pope returned yesterday from busincs.s trip to Atlu.t.i.

It was what they expected many of them said, though it is no secret that some of the warmest advo cates of the issue had been sufficiently impressed by the amount of talking that the opponents of the measure had been doing to have serious doubts as to the issue being approved by the electorate. School People Active. The activity of the friends of the bond issue was much more noticeable than that of the opponents of the issue. Some the more pronounced leaders of the movement for the bonds were out all day actively working for votes. Some of the grades of the schools were dismissed after recess and the pupils of these grades speedily got busy in the task of seeking to win supporters for the school bonds. The "amis" were less active by a good deal than some had aniicipaled. It is believed that not a few of them at the least minute decided that they could not afford to vote against schools and cither didn't vote ai all or went to the polls and registered their de cision in favor of the bond issue. With the spreading of the news that the issue had carried specula! ion be came rife and as to what would be done with the money. There was some in quiry as to what proportion of the issue will go to the colored schools. This matter will be leit entirely to the Board of Trustees of the schools. The colored school is badly overcrowded and there is no doubt that something will be done to relieve this crowded condition. Location of Building Discussed. Th question was also asked as to w hether the Board of Trustees is com mitted irrevocably to the plan of erect ing the new building for the white school children on the present school campus. There i, rothing to prevent them fn in doing otherwise but it in iindcn-toc d ihtit ihe sentiment of the board is overwhelmingly in faVor of s-.i(li a course. It has been calculated that Avenue A is as near the campus as I nii 11 Point and that McCarthy's st ere is onl a square away further off from the graded school buildings than Union Point, so I ha: it will be seen tha thv schools are centrally located and it s believed that it will be some years be'ore th.- suburbs will have been sufficiently developed to demand schools in their immediate vicinity. The location on ,hc presen. grounds most generally favored is on New street and opposite the old Methodist church. though there is some bcntiment in favor of building an annex to the Griffin Memorial building rather than erecting a new building on a different part of the campus. A part of the proceeds of the bonds will also be used in making necessary repairs to the old buildings. There was great interest in the o-.:t-comeof the election. During the day the Journal had a number of calls from persons who wanted to know how the battle of the ballots was going and last night there were many more calls to find out what the result was.
