WANT WATERWAY TOWNS TO
HAVE EQUAL FREIGHT RATES
Railway Companies Want
To Exclude This Sec
tion From Reduction
Following the receipt yesterday mor
ning of a letter from H. B. Branch,
secretary of the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce, in which the writer
urged that New Bern send a' delegation
of citizens to Raleigh on next Tuesday
to protest against the discrimination
of the railroad companies against the
waterway towns in this State, J.. Leon
Williams, secretary of the local Chamber
of Commerce, issued a call for a special
meeting to be held at the organization';
rooms last night, at which time
committee would be appointed to
represent New Bern at the conference
next Tuesday
This matter is of vast importance
to New Bern and the business men of
this city are greatly interested in it,
The railroads offer to give a reduction
of twenty per cent, in freight rates
to alt the towns in the State except
those with water transport facilities
With so much at stake it is no wonder
that the meeting, although held on
Saturday night was well attended.
In the absence of W. B. Blades
who is chairman of the Railway and
- - Water Transporattion Committee, E
M Green, chairman of the Terminal
"Facilities and Service Committee, cal
led the meeting to order and explained
its object. W. F. Aberly was elected
chairman. Mr. Green said during
the course of his talk that this matter
was one of the most important ever
to-'corrie before the Chamber of Com
merce and that it was a matter which
every .business man in the city should
be interested in. He said that if this
proposed reduction goes into effect
and, "the waterway towns are excluded
that it will cause these towns a loss
of -thousands of dollars each year.

Father Of Miss Rosalie Jones, The
Suffragette Hiker, Probably
Committed Suicide.
HAD AN INTERESTING CAREER
Unbalanced Mentally For Some
Years On Account Of Son's
Being In Sanitorium.
New York, Aug. 9. Dr. Oliver
Livingston Jones, a wealthy retirei
physician and real estate owner an
lather o! Miss Rosalie Jones, th
suffrage "hiker" who led the marc
ot the suffragettes into Washington
at the tinle of President Wilson's in
auguration, died today from a woun
believed to have been self-inflicted.
He was removed from his home,
116 Seventy-second street yesterda
to the Polytechnic Hospital with
bullet wound in his head.
A policeman was assigned to duty at
the hospital where Dr. Jones was kept
a prisoner on a charge of attemptin
suicide. An operation was performed
later in the day, but it was said at the
hospital that the physician probably
would die.
I .1 - ...
uv. joiil-s wno was weaitny, owning
real estate in almost every State in th
Union had never practiced medicine
although he is an accredited physician
Until two years ago he owned a summer
home at Cold Spring Harbor, built
59 years before by Charles H. Jones,
and containing more than 100 rooms,
with all its timbers of solid hand-hewn
oak. Grieving over the condition
of a son, Oliver Livingston Jones, Jr.
who was confined . in a sanitarium
Dr. Jones disappeared from the Cold
Spring Harbor house on August 25
1909. He was foimd by a searching
party of his neighbours late that night
wandering aimlessly about the country
roads, and was taken home. The next
morning the big house was discovered
in flames. The fire did damage of be
tween $100,000 and $125,000. The
house was rebuilt later, and is one of the
finestresidences on Long Island, but
the shock of the experience and the
continued worry about the state of his
son preyed on the, physician's mind
and made him almost a nervous wreck.
Just before noon yesterday a citizen
rushed up to a policeman patrolling
Columbus avenue and told him that he
had heard revolver shots while passing
116 West Seventy-second street. Has
tening 'jhere, the policeman found the
house in an uproar, and, upon making
his way;..' upstairs, found Dr. Jones
lymg, fully clothed, on the tiled floor
of the bathroom in front of the mirror
with blood flowing from a gash in his
head and a bullet wound above the
right ear. 'Mrs. Jones was hysterical
in the next room. Dr. Jones was re
moved to the hopsital unconscious
and an operation was performed by
Dr. William Sharpe.
Both Dr. Jones and his wife are of old
New York families. Part of their land
was obtained by royal grant from
Great Britain.
Dr. Jones was 63 years old and was a
graduate of Bellevue Medical College.

letter stating that the train would
be put into service on the above named
date.
When the train is in operation it will
