The reported loss of 500 lives by hurricane* on Ocra- coke Island, on the cast of Pamlico Sound, off the North Carolina coast, just south of Cape Hatteras, is not substantiated, according to telegrams received here from Washington. The wireless station at Cape Hat teras reported to the Washington wireless station this morning that it had been in communication with tho CONLEY TO FIEF F.

This developed Friday when Ocracoke life-saving station and the life savers declared the reported loss was unfounded. They hud assisted a number of dis abled seamen caught In small boat? when the storm hit the island, but beyond this and small property dam age there was no cause for alarm. The news to-day was so encourag ing that Governor Craig did not con sider it necessary to start relief ex peditions to Ooracoke or the coast towns or take other precautionary measures. He notified the* Amerli 11 Red Cross that relief was unneces sary at this time. Tiie local weather bureau to-day received weather reports from Hat teras station for the firs* time since Tuesday. The storm raged all along the coast from Wilmington to Hattens, and first reports were that stamen feared the 800 inhabitants of Ocra coke had been drowned by a tidal wave. Because the island was com pletely isolated, except for wireless communication, it was at first diffi cult to get news. It was only to day that the Hatteras wireless sta tion succeeded in communicating with the life-savers on Ocracoke. Telegrams received here tc-dav from Newbern declare that the dam age to towns* ->n the coast side of tn« sound was not as great as at first re ported. The communication between Ray leigh and Newbern was by way of Richmond.

Atlantan T>|ls of Storm. A vivid description ol the great storm in North Carolina was given Friday by an Atlantan, ('harks High tower. representative of the Empire Glass Company, who was in the af fected district when the storm start ed. Mr. Hightower said a 60-mi!e gale wrought havoc in Oriental -«n i Tuesday, raising the tide twelve fee: and flooding the little city with a four-foot sheet of water. Death was dealt to cattle and chickens and de struction to business houses and res idences. Scores of lives were im periled, but Mr. Hightower heard of no human fatalities. preparations were being made to ask for his indictment by the Fulton County Grand Jury'. A delicate point in the interpreta tion of the lawr is involved in Con ley’s case. It had been expected that he would be tried on a felony charge, but several lawyers who have inves tigated the law on the point say that it is doubtful if this can be made in view of the circumstances of the case as developed in the testimony dur ing the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder. What Constitutes Felony. An accessory after the fact may be found guilty of a felony if. in the Records of the law. he “harbors or conceals” the perpetrator of a crime punishable by death or life imprison ment and withholds from the officials the information of the crime. The misdemeanor charge may be made when information of this sort is withheld, no mention being made of harbori*- or concealing the per petrator. Conley’s story, as it was told to the jury" in the Frank trial, involved at no point the “concealing of Frank in the accepted meaning of the term. Unless It can be given a broader meaning, it is thought by many law yers that the misdemeanor charge is the most serious that can be brought against the negro. Woodward Enters the Campaign. Promised Bigger Meeting at Which to Define His Stand. Mayor James G. Woodward’s attack on the new charter and the city officials who are supporting it at the meeting of the South Side Im provement Association, in the Pryor Street School Thursday night, has resulted in a movement to get up a bigger meeting to hear a second speech and put more ginger in the election fight. The fact that there were less than 100 persons present caused Mayor Woodward to declare that the crowd was not big enough for him to go fully into Atlanta’s political situation, but if they w'ould get up a real meet ing he would give them some “red- hot” stuff. Leaders in the organization hove taken him at hie word, and in an ticipation of a stirring campaign be tween now and the election on the | new charter on September 24, are i planning to give Mayor Woodward an opportunity to spread himself. Charges “Ring” Runs Boards. Judging by his attacks Thursday night, w'hich were so hot that Dr. J. G. Bradfleld,’ chairman of the meet ing. left during the talk and later resigned his chairmanship, the next speech is expected to be a “hum dinger.” He amplified some of his statements in an interview Friday morning, and here are the ideas he wants impressed: “That a ‘ring’ is in control of all the boards of the city. ‘T don’t care anything about Dr. Bradfield’s -ratuitous insults after I had left the meeting. If he and all of his kind should resign all their official positions, the city probably would be better off. “That the object of the new char ter is to perpetuate his ‘ring’ of bossism. “It abolishes the Police Commis sion and creates a Board of Public Safety. Under the present charter thd chairman of the Police Commission is prevented from succeeding himse f on the commission ^t the expiration of his term next March. Charter Framec by “Gang.” “The adoption of the new charter would mean that the fire department would be turned over to the old crowd th^t has run the police department for so long. “The new charter was framed in \ back room of private offices by a gang of men who would tell you, the people, to go to h—, if you’ll pardon the phrase, if it served their pur pose.” Turning to the more personal phases of the meeting Thursday night, Mayor Woodward said that ho had nothing but good will in his heart for ex-Mayor Courtland S. Winn, and that he was going to cal! him up and explain his attitude to day. He recalled the exact words which Dr. Bradfleld interpreted as an attack on his brother-in-law, ex- Mayor Winn, and left the meeting. “I asked them why they had not gotten improvements on the South Side,” said Mayor Woodward. “J “told them they had had the Mayor and a majority of the Council from their section. “Later I said if the city govern ment had continued to be run as it was the last six months of last year, the city’s Income would not be suffi cient to pay the installments on il legal moral obligations, to say noth ing of the fixed expenses of running the city. “I never mentioned Mayor Winn’s name. “If Dr. Bradfleld is so averse to as sociating with me, he might resign from the Board of Health. He and a good bunch of his crow’d could get out, and the city would not suffer.” After MAyor Woodward had left the meeting Thursday night, Dr. Bradfleld returned and said: “Gentlemen, I must apologize for leaving the room during that speech. But I could not sit here and listen to the attack on ex-Mayor Winn. I must resign from the chairmanship of this organization. I can not asso ciate with a man whom I would not take into my own home.” County Tax Returns Increase $19,261,314 County tax returns show a gain of $19,261,314. according to figures com piled at the Comptroller General’s of fice and made public Friday.
