WILL ENTERTAIN i 'a . h; AGAIN PROTESTS This Tfme I Hero Harry'; . Wants State Department To Take Part In His Troubles. TREATY RIGHTS VIOLATED Ask That British Embassy Be Made To Give Explanation Of His Treatment. Washington October 2. Through Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, Harry K. Thaw today made a pro test to the state department against his .deportation from Canada on Sep tember 10th, by the immigration offi cials of the Dominion. Thaw, in a let ter to Senator Oliver, asks that the state department demand from the British embassy an explanation of the treatment accorded him by the Ca nadian officials. He contends that such treatment was in violation of the privileges guaranteed him as an American citizen In treaties between the United States and Great Britain. In his let ter, which Senator Oliver forwarded to the state department tonight, Thaw reviews his flight into Canada, his ar rest, and the proceedings in connec tion with his case, while in Canada, his summary ejection from the coun try, and says: "Under the treaties with Great Brit ain, which includes its province, now the Dominion of Canada and the spirit and law of those treaties, citi zens of the United States in Canada are given the same rights, and privi leges as to personal liberty and ap peal to the courts as citizens of Ca nada, but my appeal to the courts as a citizen of the United States was entirely ignored and I was ruth lessly deported. I submit that the im migration act of the parliament of Canada in giving to citizens of Canada alone the right to appeal to the courts from an order of deportation of the immigration board, discriminates against citizens of the United States, and that the Canadian parliament has no right to pass a law that prac tically abrogates and annuls the treaties between the British govern ment and' the government of the United States and I that the Canadian government had no right to enforce such a law1 and that my deportation from Canada, was a gross violation of my rights as an American citizen under the treaties between1 the two governments. "I respectfully request that you ask our state department that they re quest an explanation from the British embassy of the facts herein stated." FORMER NEW BERNIAN DIES AT BEAUFORT. Fred L.

Just after the Eastern Carolina Fair Association Company had been char tered, 'and even before the present buildings had been erected, the officers and directors of the company took up with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company the matter of running a spur track from some available point on their main line to Fair grounds and operate a train during the time that the Fair is in progress each fall. At that time several of the officials of the company considered the propo sition and informed the Fair company that they would think about the matter. Since that time the Norfolk Southern Railway Company has made an inves tigation and finding that it would, without any doubt, be of benefit to them as well as to the public they have about come to the conclusion to build this spur track and not only operate trains during the Fair, but also operate one or more motor cars to Glenburnie Park during the summer months. B. E. Rice, Land and Idustrial Agent of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company, arrived in the city last night, bringing with him plans and specifications for this track. Shortly after his arrival here he was seen by a Journal reporter and the latter was show the plans. The plan as outlined by Mr. Rice would be to use the main line as far as the coal chute. A spur track would then be built from this point, running back of W. R. Guion's place, down back of the National cemetery then curve and run alongside the county road to a point just opposite the Fair grounds, then curve in and run up to the Fair grounds. This seems to be a very desirable route and in fact is about the only one that could be used. Mr. Rice wants' to duscuss this matter with the officers and directors of the company, TWO KILLED; MANY HURT DURING TERRIFIC STORM Rainstorm Of Cloudburst Proportion Causes Loss Life and Property in New York Lightning Played Havoc New York, Oct. 2. A rainstorm that reached almost cloudburst proportions descended on New York this afternoon establishing a record precipitation that flooded streets, tied up the subway, hampered surface and elevated traf fic in the city and suburbs for several hours and caused property loss that cannot be estimated tonight. Two persons were killed and sev eral injured. Four men were buried in a sewer cave-in, but were rescued. Lightning played above the-, city and struck an elevated train and several buildings, setting fires which the del uge extinguished. Incoming trains from all directions were delayed, as cuts and tunnels resembled rivers within canyons. Within the city, the traffic congestion was such' that the PLANS TO PUT ON ANOTHER PLAY MEMBERS OF PAINT AND POW DER CLUB ARE STUDY ING PARTS. With i. the ' theatrical . season open, the members of the Paint and Powder Club, New Bern's amateur theatrical organization,' are planning to put on another production. At present they are engaged 1 n learning r the 'parts -of a farce comedy which isojie of the "rich est" things evjer written. ' Just when this will be presented is not knuwn at the present ' time but will in all probability be seen some time during the month of November. While the Paint and Powder Club has no professionals among its members, it is amateur in name only.. Organized at the beginning of last season they succeeded in putting 'on several . pieces before the close of the season and each of these were carried out in a manner which would haye proved creditable to a professional company. ( ' This season they will have had more experience and the members- feel sure of surpassing their previous records'.', v and as it is necessary for him to leave the city at 9 o'clock this morning he requests them to meet him at the Gaston Hotel at 7 o'clock this morning. The party will then be shown the plans and a trip oyer the proposed route will be made. This is a matter of great importance and every officer and as many of the stockholders as can well be present should see Mr. Rice this morning. In addition to merely running a track to the Fair grounds and operating a train over this line the Norfolk Southern hope to be able to develop the section through which the track will run. This section is not very desirable for residences but it is an ideal place for manufacturing enterprises and the company hope to secure a number of these;in fact they have already taken the matter up with several manufac turers and have practically been as sured that if the track is built that they will erect a plant in that section. If these plants can be secured, and there is no reason why they cannot, spur tracks will be built to run. down as far as the river. This will give the manufacturers the benefit of both rail and water transportation, and nothing could be more desirable. If the Norfolk Southern Railway Company and the Fair Association Company come to an agrreement on this matter it would be possible to build this line and have trains in opera tion over it by the next Fair. How ever, it is not probable that this will be done. A right of way must be secured and to erect the line in such a short time would require the services of an unusually large number of men. How ever, the line will be built and cars will be operated over it in time to take care of the crowds who will flock to Glenburnie Park next summer. Of resources of the transit companies and the ability of the police to handle the crowds were severely taxed. Brooklyn bridge saw the greatest traffic rush in its history. It was late tonight be fore the transportation officials an nounced normal conditions. There was little wind here, but along the New Jersey coast, there was a ga'le blowing SO miles an hour. Rain swelled the Passaic river nearly to its previous record high water mark and the streets of Newark were inundated. Thomas H. Walsh, a train dispatch er, bossing a pump gang in the sub way, slipped and fell on the third rail and was killed. The other victim dur ing the storm was Hugh Clarke, a Jersey,City patrolman, electrocuted at his street call box. '-TWELVE FOOT DEPTH. Proposed For River Between New Bern and Polloksville. Wilmington, Oct. 2. Steamboats ply 1 ing between Polloksville and New Bern, if the proposed river improvement is provided for in an appropriation, will have a greater channel depth by two feet in which to run. Maj H. W. Stickle, district engineer, has received from he department instructions to survey the river and prepare , an estimate as to the prob able cost of deepening the channel. He hasreferred the matter to assist anr Engineer Patterson, of the New Bern district, to, make the survey and- pre pare the estimate. ( When this has. been done the esti mate will be forwarded to Washing ton; where" it( is likely that an appro priation will be made covering the expense of" the project. That f.he gov erment is- 'showing an interest in, the matter will' gratify the peple 'who will be benefited by the improvement. A few watermelons are seen on sale at different stores in the city. However, the season of the mellon is about over and - there a but little demand for them. " ' ARE OPPOSED TO SALE OF STOCK Special Committee Hears Argu ments Against Sale Of State's Stock In A. and N. C. R. R. NEW BERN MEN PROTEST The Road Is The Key To Transpor tation Problems Of The State. (Special to the Journal.) Raleigh, Oct. 2. The special com mittee appointfed by the General As sembly at its regular session to repor upon the advisability of selling the State's stock in the Atlantic and North Carolina Railway Company, this after- , noon heard the argument of several persons who were opposed to the sale of the stock. Charles R. Thomas, C. D. Bratlham, L. H. Cutler, Jr., J. G. Hyman and R. A. Nunn, of New Bern, and Lovitt Hines, of Kinston, made speeches in opposition to E. Carl Duncan's pro posal to purchase the stock at seventy five per cent, of its par value. Senator Ward and Representative Ward also opposed the sale. It was argued that the road is the key to the transportation problems of the State. There is much opposition to the sale of the State's stock on all sides. It has for months been a matter of deep concern, especially to the people of Eastern North Carolina, where much of the stock is held. As was argued today, the road is the trans portation problem and if the State relinquishes its hold on its stock there is no telling what the ultimate result will be. In order that the employes of the banks will have an opportunity of attending Barnum and Bailey's circus the New Bern Banking and Trust Company, the Peoples Banks and the Citizens Savings Bank will not be open Saturday night. In order to accomodate those who wish to attend the evening performance of Barnum and Bailey's circus, which exhibits here tomorrow, the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company will run a special train out of New Bern tomorrow night at 11:30 o'clock. This train will go as far as Jacksonville. There will be services tonight at the Presbyterian church at 7:30 o'clock preparatory to the commu.iion on Sunday.

THE MOVEMENT ENDORSED Experienced Mill Man Will Asked To Look Over The Field. Be A special meeting of the Industria Committee of the Chamber of Com merce was held last night for the pur pose of hearing a report made by J. C DuVal, of Weldon, who is interested in the erection of a cotton mill in this city and also hearing talks on this subject by several local gentlemen who are also interested in this proposed new enterprise. Mr. DuVal is an experienced cotton mill man. At present he is connected with the Weldon Cotton Manufactur ing Company and the Shaw Cotton Mill Company, of Weldon, and is thor oughly familiar with every department of the work. He is a firm believer that there is an excellent opening for a mill of this kind in New Bern and has agreed to take five thousand dollars worth of the stock and to assist in any way in getting the mill in oper ation. After Mr. DuVal had been in troduced to the members of the In dustrial Committee and had made a very interesting talk, short talks on the subject were made by J. S. Miller, C. L. Ives, T. D. Warren and others in which they set forth the advantages and benefits that New Bern would derive from a cotton mill. The Industrial Committee was very much impressed by the remarks of these gentlemen and endorsed the movement, and Chairman Clyde Eby was instructed to recommend it to the Chamber of Commerce and to get this organization's support, and at the same time, as the President, to call a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce for he purpose of devising some method to assist the promoters in disposing of the stock, and in the meantime to .nvite some wellfknown cotton milt 'man to come to New Bern and make aflU inspection of local conditions. H. B. 3fjennings, of Lumberton, General Superintendent of two of the largest cotton mills in North Carolina will probably be chosen for this work and he will be asked to make a thor ough inspection of the facilities and prospects for the success that a mill in this city would have. This matter will be attended to at once and the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will probably be held within the course of a few days. Much of the stock in the proposed mill has already been disposed of and there is every reason to believe that it will be only a matter of a few months before the mill will be in operation. ARE GOING AFTER TORPEDO BOAT NAVAL RESERVES SAIL TOMOR ROW NIGHT FRR ELIZA BETH CITY. Tomorrow night the New Bern division of the North Carolina Naval Militia will sail on board of their ship, Elfrida, for Elizabeth City where they will take -charge of the torpedo boat Foote, arid bring the vessel to this port. The Foote was formerly located here but just a year go this month was taken to Elizabeth City to bring the division of Naval Reserves at that place to New Bern to participate in one of the many military drills held during the week of the Fair. The boat reached its port of destina tion alright and the sailor-soldiers boarded her and were preparing to leave when an accident to some part of the machinery put the vessel out of commission. Several weeks e'apsed before the trouble was remed' 1 and for one reason and another the boat wa,s allowed to remain there up to the present time. The two vessels will probably arrive here Monday morning. . W. C.
