THE NEWS AND OBSERVER WARRANTS SERVED ON WHITE WOMEN Seven Residents of East leigh Section Cited On Vagrancy Charges TRIAL SCHEDULED AT THIS MORNING'S COURT Police Start Campaign To Clean Up; Three Women Leave for Other Parts The police of this elty Saturday night started their annual clean-up Among women of alleged disrepute in East Raleigh when Capt. N. Warren and Detective Tom Crabtree raided homes in that section and cited seven women to appear in city court this morning. These women, each of whom in charged with statutory vagrancy, are Lillian Arnold of 536 East Davis street, Ada King, alias Ada Pate, of 408 Green street; Clara Lester, alias Clara Allen, of 543 East Cabarrus street; Louise Price, of 435 East Davie street; Blanche McCade, of 421 Watson street; Louise Boyd, of Watson street, and Gay Brooks of Green street. The women were, not arrested because the police wanted to give them an opportunity to quietly leave the city for other parts if they prefer.

Similar action was taken last summer when women of East Raleigh were rounded up upon charges of vagrancy. At that time a majority of the women eited to appear in court suddenly left Raleigh while others remained for trial. One woman, Kate King, served a sentence in jail. When the police activities in that seetion of the eity had quietd down the women gradually returned to their former homes and again took up their residence in East Raleigh. The charges against the seven women cited to appear in court have been under consideration by the police for some time.

Three other women, according to the police, were under suspicion but gave the officers no opportunity to serve them with warrants and left the city several days ago. These women were Kate King, Helen Howard and Dorris Fuller. The latter two left Raleigh last summer to escape prosecution, it is said, while Kate King served a jail sentence. The deeision to endeavor to clean out East Raleigh once more followed recent raids at the homes of Blanche MeCade and Ada King, alies, Ada Pate, where intoxicants were by the police. At the King woman's house 21 bottles of beer were seized but she was not arrested because she was ill at that time.

Louise Price, one of the women charged with vagrancy, recently served a 30- day sentence in conviction superior court. Governor Bickett offered her a pardon upon condition that she leave town and rent her property to law-abiding people. She refused the pardon and served her sentence. The defendants are scheduled for trial at this morning's session of the city court. However, police are inclined to think that a majority of the women will not appear in court but, on the other hand, will have left the city by the time court convenes.

BIG MEETING OF RALEIGH CITIZENS Chamber of Commerce Calls Important Gathering At 10 O'Clock This Morning Notices were mailed yesterday to members of the Chamber of Commerce calling them together in a meeting at 10 o'clock this morning to discuss a subject which may mean great things for the future welfare of the city. Yesterday President Duncan stated that he business men of Raleigh now have an opportunity of bettering conditions in this city by a move that will not only produce assets for merchants but should be of vital interest to every man, woman and child who are identified with the progressive upbuilding of the city. Mr. Duncan classes the meeting this morning as undoubtedly the biggest and most important ever held by the Chamber of Commerce this year. All members are needed and no effort will be spared to have a large crowd at the meeting.

For several reasons which will be explained the nature of the meeting has not yet been made public. President Duncan wants to spring a surprise upon the members when he explains the purpose of the gathering. He did not hesitate in saying that it would be the most important meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this year. BOARD MEMBERS UNDER 15 WILL BE EXEMPT Government Appeal Agents Will Also Be Certified As Necessary Members of local boards and government appeal agents appointed under the selective service regulations who are within the proposed extension of draft age limits will not be subject to call, according to an announcement from the Provost Marshal General. The announcement reads: "This department thoroughly appreciates the magnitude and essential courtesy of the work of draft officials and is keenly alive to the importance of retaining the services of members of boards and government appeal agents, and, to this end, of granting deferred classification on the ground of necessary employment service of the United States to board members and government appeal agents with the new draft age limits who are certified by Governors as being necessary in the administration of the draft." At any rate we can all speak well of the dead.

The censor keeps pretty close tabs on the living.

Several Raleigh delewere given places of prominence eater, various committees, according to Mr. D.

The old rond by Smithfield are Fayetteville to Wilmington is out of the way and is not good as the new direct route by way Raleigh, Smithfield, Goldsboro, Warsaw, Kenansville, Wallace and Burgaw to Wilmington. This puta within Raleigh at Wrightsville ora. Morehead City. The chief dificulty with the route has been the condition of the ronds in Duplin and Pender counties. Quite a bit of work has been done in these counties and it will be continued until roads are in still better shape, they While at the convention Mr.

Winslow made a speech in which he set forth the aims and working program of his de partment of road work. The speech, follows: The State System of Maintenance. "The Legislatura of 1915 provided that the State engineer may from time to time take over as as part of the State system such highways as are of importance to the State. It did not provide any funds for this purpose. "In 1917 in order to secure Federal funds it was necessary that this State pledge a permanent fund for the upkeep of all Federal aid roads, and for this purpose the anto receipts were aecepted as satisfactory to the Federal authorities.

Whatever funds were in excess of the amount required were to be used for the maintenance of a system of State roads. "This system will take in about, 3,500 miles of road and the selection ofithese reads rests with the local and State authorities. It will connect practically every county seat and all large cities and towns. Thus far this work has been started in 83 counties and is satisfactory to most of the counties where of public spirit exists. anYone of the first things done was to establish county line signs and also mile markers measured from the county seat in nearly every case, They clock system i sused by which every road enst of north is numbered 1, and 80 on around like the hands of a clock until the line is reached.

The roads are numbered and with the north, distance known, it is easy to number and mark every bridge and culvert as well as any point on the road. In addition the central highway is marked with blue and white bands, and the Wilmington-Goldsboro highway with white and yellow bands. Other colors will be adopted for other main lines. "A State map is issued each month posting the roads up to date for the traveling public. "The State has been divided into distriets independent of political lines, and county and township lines ignored on maintenace except in divisions of the founds, as the law provides.

A11 supervisors are provided with a specially constructed auto to insure prompt attention to the "stitch in time." Perpetual maintenance will be insisted on as far as funds permit. The men a are appointed on their merits, and the office knows neither their polities or religion, but they must know roads or give way to who does. They are held responsible for as much of the road as they take over, and must show results. Daily reports are insisted on and failure to report every 24 hours calls for a satisfactory explanation or dismissal. grent problem has been labor and teams, but we now have 50 tractor trucks or one for every two counties, and these save eight mules and three drivers in each case.

The patrolmen are thus able to cover greater territory and are retaining only the best men. "Many of the counties have assisted us with extra money, labor, teams and materials. The justice of the law is shown where wealthy counties use and destroy the roads in adjoining and poor counties. If the funds are retained in a county or township, then the auto should not run over the line either. "We lose hundreds of dollars because the automobile laws are not enforced, especially close to election.

Narrow tires add nothing to the life of a road during wet weather, and unless the snow is removed promptly the damage runs up into thousands. "Few counties have paid heed to Chapter 24, page 80, relating to signs and If this law were enforced we would have force enough to work the roads from convictions alone. This State should have power to purchase land for a permanent base of supplies for road maintenance as well as a storage basis for road supplies and equipment, instead of buying by the loud or cubic yard and we would have space to build tool houses and sheds for equipment that now stand out all winter or we must rent all winter. "The opposition comes largely from parties who have controlled the road funds and not from those who have the entire State at large in mind. "Unless men take a broad view and pull together we will lose the roads.

war is teaching us this lesson. Loyalty to the State is what need to learn, rather than counties and township lines. What ever success we have had has been due to this, on the part of broad minded employes and citizens. Where co-operation has prevailed this is a fact, and the man who will not support the State and its laws has no place in North Carolina. "Let us learn to think beyond county and township lines, and North Carolina will take its proper place where God SUFFERERS Ice Ice Today We are pleased to announce that we have secured a ply of Ice from Wilmington, N.

TUBERCULOSIS IS WAR TIME STUDY Five Conferences Soon To Consider Measures for Coping With Plague Plans are now under way, according to announcement made today by the National Tuberculosis Association, for five great conferences covering the country in geographical sections from Atlantic to Pacific, to consider practical measures for coping with tuberculosis as a war problem.

Starting in el the northwestern states, this series, of gatherings will extend next the southwestern group, and then work eastward, taking in the South, the Middie Atlantic section and ending with New England. Means of providing adequate care for the thousands of soldiers and sailors already discharged from the army and navy on account of tuberculosis and the still greater number rejected in the draft for the same reason will be one of the main questions discussed. The closely related question of educating the civilian population more fully regarding tuberculosis during the war and thus combatting its further spread in the community at large, will also be considered. Not less than 1,000,000 per: sons in the United States, the National Tuberculosis Association states, are today afflicted withis disease, the annual death toll from which is upward of 150,000. Anti-tuberculosis workers, physicians, local, state and federal officials, officers of the army and navy, and many others will take part in these conferences.

The programs for each section, which will differ according to local conditions, will be announced at an early date. The meeting places and dates are f1.9 follows: Spokane, September 27-29; Denver, October 4-5; Birmingham, October 11-12; Pittsburgh, tober 17-18; Providence, R. October 25-26. Among the North Carolinians who are expected to attend and take a leading part in the Birmingham conference, which is for the Southern States, are the following: Dr. Chas.

SPECIAL POLICE FOR DRAFTED MEN Draft Executives Told To Notify Liquor Dealers As To Law Draft executives of all States have been notified to direct "the attention of the liquor interests of your State," the act of Congress passed May 18, 1917, which prohibits the sale of whiskey or intoxicating liquor to men in or army. "The attention of this dethe uniform of that United States navy partment," says the Provost Marshal General, "has been directed to the fact that registrants have, in some instances, reported for entrainment in an Intoxieated condition and that much der has resulted. This condition should be corrected immediately." As a step in curbing the entrainment of men intoxicated, inducted men will hereafter be placed in temporary uniforms and leaders and assistant leaders of quotas will be made special police. Brassards will be furnished by the War Department for designating the special police appointed to "keep order" and vigorous prosecution, where evidence can be obtained, will be made against "liquor dealers" who sell intoxicating drinks to soldiers.

The order contemplates that a selected man becomes a soldier when he reports to his local board for entrainment and, as such, is subject to military laws. By the appointment of special military police infraction of military laws makes the offender subject to court martial. -The Finest WOOLENS -The Best TAILORING -The Newest STYLES -The Lightest WEIGHTS Only $5:75 For $10 Genuine Palm Beach Suits Shop For Men MAN AND WOMAN IN POLICE TOILS Couple Giving Names As C.

AUTO CRASHES INTO CAR; TWO ARE BADLY HURT Wife And Daughter of Joe Copeland, Colored, Cut And Bruised The wife and little daughter of Joe Copeland, colored, were bruised and otherwise hurt yesterday afternoon when an automobile driven by Copeland crashed into a street car at the corner of Martin and Blount street. Copeland was cited to appear in police court this morning to answer a charge of reckless and careless driving. The little child, riding on the front sent, was painfully cut about the face and arms, she having been thrown through the windshield when the automobile collided with the street car. Copeland's wife, who was riding on the rear seat, was not so badly hurt alshield too.

In the 20,112 casualties, total deaths, including 291 lost at sea, men killed in action, dead of wounds, disease, accidents and other causes numbered 7,716 -soldiers, marines, 833.. The wounded aggregated marines, 1,826, and the missing, including, prisoners, 431; marines, 91. Of the week's increase, deaths all causes aggregated 1,572 as compared with 651 the week before; the wounded numbered 2,610 compared with 732 the previous week and the missing and prisoners 734 compared with 74 the week before.

While the proportion of the deaths for the week as compared with the wounded was large, attention was called today to the fact that the casualties being reported now General Pershing represent an accumulation as the result of the fighting which began July 15 and it is not to be assumed that the ratio of killed and wounded will be maintained when the final toll of the Marne-Aisne victory is complete. Because of the fact that the Americans were brigaded in the fighting with British and French forces, many of the wounded were taken to French and British hospitals and the task of collecting their names was a difficult one. The problem of securing the names of the killed and missing was said to be much simpler and this is taken here to account for the relatively large numbers of killed and missing reported in. the first lists. The summary of army casualties, including today's list, follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea), 3,574.

Died of wounds, 1,105. Died of disease 1,534. Died of accident and other causes 670. Wounded in action 9,048. Missing in action (including prisoners), 1,431, Total to date 17,362.

It has been calculated that in the plan of an alternative system of excess profits and war profits taxes, whichever would produce the higher revenue to be applied in any given case, 90 per cent of all American industries would fall under the alternative war profits tax and the other 10 per cent in the straight excess profits tax.

WAKE FOREST WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER 3 Good Enrollment for the New Session Indicated; Military Training Wake Forst, Aug. new session of Wake Forest College will open on Tuesday, September 3d. In the case of Wake Forest men now in the Plattsburg Training Camp, 38 in number, special dispensation is allowed for trance after the close of the camp on September 16th. The present summer has brought the heaviest office work in the history of present college administration, and that indicates." good college is in enrollment fine next shape ses- to serve the young men who come. With the single exception of Freshman English, all the departments of instruction are intact as last session.

Professor Derieux, in communicating his resignation, said that, if he were going to teach in any college outside New York City where he has accepted an appointment, he would prefer Wake Forest. The college, moreover, is responding to the program of the government to mobilize the young manhood of the country to meet both its military and its civilian needs. As previously announced, a Students' Army Training Corps unit will be organized in the student body under the instruction of an army officer detailed by the War Department, and equipped at the government's expense. In this training corps students will acquire definite military status 88 in a training camp, advance their preparation for active service, and at the same time continue their regular college work toward a degree. The ten hours of work a week required in this department will be credited with equity on the degree, and as much as four hours of the ten may be selected from the regular academic courses.

Minor students will be required to- present written consent of parents or guardians either to enroll, if under eighteen, or enlist, it eighteen or over. Except in case of a national emergency, when they may be called out on a day's notice, it will be the policy of the government to keep these students in training until their draft age is reached and in certain cases even after their draft age in reached. If a lower draft age is fixed by Congress, the plans of the War Department when they come to be announced will be in line with its educational policy above indicated. In other words, the lower draft age will be for purposes of registration, not for immediate active service. From every point of view, this is the time of all times for a young man to come to college, that is, if he is highminded and serious-minded.

This is no time for the shiftless or the self-seeking anywhere. But for noble-hearted boys, boys who have the ambition to serve in a great way, boys who don't mind work and who have mind to work with--for such boys the call is loud and the horizon of opportunity is wide and irresistible. Enlistment in the Studens' Army Training Corps, with good work in it, is declared to be the plainest road in the direction of an officer's commission.
