 Reading, Pa, February IA, 1906 MT. J. A. Rountree, Chairman Invitation
 Committee, Birmingham Press Club,
 Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir-To you and those associated with you l extend my most heartfelt thanks for the double honor conferred upon me by electlng me to honorary mem bership in your club and by inviting me to attend your annual banquet. The temptation to accept your invitation has been so great that 1t has taken over 0 week for me to convince myself that the demands of my duties will not permit me to be with you.
 We Pennsylvanians love our native state, but this devotion does not blind us to the fact that Alamaba Is tho Keystone State of the South' and that the two commonwealths have more inter- ests in common than any other section of the Union. To visit your state and city has long been my desire and for several days, I hope against hope that your gra- tnyaU for me to gratify my wishes. But the time of an active newspaper man Is not his own. On the day prior to your banquet we have our annual election for city off, flcials, and on the day following l must keep my engagement to appear at the an- nual banquet of the Pennsylvania Wom- ems Press association in Philadelphia.
 Thus you will see that l am forced to deny myself the pleasure of being your

MISS EVELYN DRAKE
 IS SERIOUSLY HURT
YOUNG WOMAN MAY DIE AS RE. SUIT OF BEING RUN DOWN BY NEGRO BOY RIDING A BICYCLE IN TWENTIETH STREET.

Miss Evelyn Drake of 2115 Humboldt avenue. was run down by negro boy on a bicycle on Twentieth street near Avenue F shortly after o'clock yester- day afternoon, as result of which she is lying at the Hillman hospital suffer- ing from compound fracture of the skull at the base of the brain.
 J. H. Garrett, a 13-year-old negro boy, was arrested by Captain Johnson, sus- pected of having caused Miss prakes in- juYies.
 Miss Drake was crossing Twentieth street when she observed negro boy bearing down upon her at a high rate of speed. Before she could get out of the way the bicycle struck her with such force that she was thrown a distance of nearly ten feet. The boy, seeing what he had done, and believing he had killed the young woman, ran away, leaving his wheel on the street. Bystanders picked up Miss Drake, and with the assistance of an inspector from passing car carried her Into the Hillman hospital, where she soon lost consciousness. At a. late hour last night she had not regained conscious ness, and the physicians in attendance do not entertain much hope of her reeov- cry.
 The bicycle on the street was brought to the city warden's office and identified by Captain Johnson as the property of H. P. Lewis of the city market. On investi- gation 1t was learned that J. H. Garrett, a negro boy, employed by MT. Lewis as a messenger, reported that his bicycle had been stolen. Garrett was arrested by Captain Johnson and locked up on a charge of reckless riding, pending the oYt- come of Miss Drake's injuries.

At Last Days Session Apprenticeship System Was Difference of Opinion In the Matter.
 Length of Sessions.

The fourth day and final session of the twenty-second annual convention of the International Association of Master House Painters and Decorators of the United States and Canada was called to order yesterday morning at 1920 o'clock by President R. L. Peters. The convention will meet next year in Boston.
 The roll call showed that nearly all the officers were present.
 Following the roll call. MT. Edwards directed the attention of the delegates to the length of the sessions. He said: "I see no reason why these sessions should be prolonged. We should get rid of our busi- ness in three days at the most. That would give us the fourth day in which to see the sights of the city. As it Is now, we must get out without having an opportunity of seeing many points of in- terests in this charming city"

Apprentice System.


 Charles M. Coons of New Jersey, read a paper on "Our Apprenticeship System; What We Hope to Accomplish"
 On motion the paper was received, or dered placed on file and vote of thanks was rendered MT Coons.
 The first delegate to speak on the ques- tion was MT. Butterworth of New York. He said in part: q served an appren- ticeship of six years in Scotland and l do not think that would be too long time for an apprentice to serve in this country. The average American boy thinks more of the money he earns than he does of his skill and knowledge he would acquire if he were to serve the proper length of time. I would suggest that no apprentice be permitted to work in any other shop after once having jump ed his allotted time with an employer" MT. Butterworth was interrupted here by MT. Romeis of New Jersey, who sug- gested that speakers be limited to three minutes each. This suggestion was put in the form of a motion and carried.
 This was followed by paper on the trade school question by w. G. Baxter. On motion this paper was received, placed on file and vote of thanks rendered to him by the association.

"aHuai iialHll9 oCHool.
 MT. Baxter reported that Connecticut had received $1OO,0OO for the establishment of manual training school in the state An endowment of sSo0OO had also been added to the above amount He said it was probable that a manual training course would soon be taken up by the public school students.
 Mir. Edwards said that Massachusetts had become interested in the matter of trade schools and that a bill was now pending before the legislature requiring all cities of population of ten thous- and or more throughout the state to build and maintain training schools. He said the state spends $5S,0O0 annually for in- struction in textile work.
 S. J. Brown reported that the trade school in Milwaukee was in hourishing condition. He said that arrangements were under way for adding a painting de- partment and that an experienced teach CT would be procured for the teaching of that particular trade.
 MT. VanSyckle of New Jersey urged master painters to give the apprentice ship system 6 chance. He asked that the trade school or apprenticeship system be not forgotten or abolished for lack of support.
 MT. Beattie explained that the trade schools of New York are overcrowded with students and that there is a waiting list at the present time of more than thosuand. He also showed how the trade school boys are succeeding in all parts of the United States and Canada.
 He recommended that the Master House Painters association go on record as fa- voring trade schools and apprenticeship systems.

 MT. Langston said the Chicago asso- ciation had not received much encourage ment in that city. but believed that In the near future school would be in- stituted there.
 MT. McSteen said the reason the paint er's trade was not taken up in most schools was because 1t was difficult to procure teachers.
 A delegate from Atlanta said that they did not teach painting in the trade schools of Atlanta and that the apprenticeship system was unknown.
 MT. Stiles of Chicago said that in Chi cago the labor unions only allow one ap- prenticeshlp to every twenty journeymen. and that he would like to see them given a fair chance. He stated that painting WAS not taught in any of the trade schools | of Chicago.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
East Grand Forks VIII Put in System
Of Kater Works.

E6St UI80O EOFkS W Ill Fut In system
Of Water Works.
The people Of East Grand Forks are
congratulating themselves that at last
the lOng-desfred system of water
works will be Installed during the
coming summer. The bonds have
been voted, and all now depends upon
the new city council. But as they are
unanimously In favor of the propos-
ed improvement it is expected that
work will begin as soon as spring
opens. The city has long been without
adequate fire protection and building
has been delayed in order that mod
ern conveniences might be secured.
AS soon as work begins upon the new
system of water works, work will be
started upon several new blocks and
large number of handsome and sub
stantial residences will be construct
ed. Building activities will be but
the compliment of general forward
movement of business. Business men
are looking forward to good year.
The bonds, in the sum of $4,000,
will be floated by the new city coun-
Gil and complete and modernly
equipped system of water works will
be installed. The proposed site of
the power plant and pump station
will be on the river bank near the
plant OF the Grand Forks Lumber
company. 1t is proposed to move the
present electric light plant to this
site and combine the two under COM
petent management. The latter is
municipal enterprise which has been
a credit to the progressive enterprise
of the citizens of East Grand Forks.
The bonds were sold some time
since to Hays & Son OF Chicago. but
through Vaccinations of parties de-
string franchise. the sale was an
nuled. There has been some trouble
in reselling them, owing to Il dis
agreement OF the old council, but it
is understood that the new council
will have satisfactory offers from pri-
vate bonding companies and will float
them at once. The new council meets
the first Tuesday in the new year and
no more trouble is anticipated
The plant will consist of water
tower, settling basin and a mechani-
cal filter. The mains will run from
the pumping station to the saw mill
and East Grand Forks brewery, the
site being lots owned by the city be-
tween those plants to the intersection
of Selby and Dover streets, down Dow
err to Fourth, down Fourth to De-
Mers avenue and down DeMers ave-
nue. to the bridge However, the new
council may alter the course of the
mains.
