the central figure in an interesting event
at headquarters in the Lehman building
last evening. AS president of the board of
control he was presented with g. handsome

appreciation for his loyal and efficient serv
ice during many weeks of continued effort
that resulted in making the fair the most
successful undertaking of the kind in the
history of the order in the District of Co.

The punch bowl was a rare specimen Of
the art of the silversmith and was In

the charge against her being that she

Not long ago the Wilson woman and

ant Haggerty on a charge Of unlawful
cohabitatlon, but as the co1ple were
apprehended outside the police 1uris'

case.
Compliant was made by the omcers
in the court Of Justice Cottrell, but no
warrant was issued. and later the WI.
con woman was arrested on the bri-
berry charge. Attorney W. W. wertz
appeared as counsel for her in both
cases and signed her bond for appear
ance before the october grand Jury.
Attorney wertz says that Chief
Levy told him that the woman would
not be allowed to remain In town. He
was told this by the chief, he says, in
police court and again in the ONCE of
City Solicitor Alexander. When the
woman was arrested Attorney Wertz
says that he requested Chief Levy to
release her on bond, and that he re-
fused at arst, but finally allowed her
to go after she pat up S25 in cash for
her appearance
The charge of bribery was made I'M
der a city ordinance, which, according
to Attorney Wertz, the city authorities
failed to produce. After Attorney
wertz had moved to quash the warrant
Judge MacCorkle stated that he would
hold the accused to the grand Jury,
acting as a justice of the peace. At,
torney Wertz thinks such proceeding
irregular, as at the outset the court
convened as a police court and was
never adjourned, and for a further rea-
son that she was charged with an Of.
tense against a city ordinance and not
against The State.

Canada Not Afraid.

It seems that there are some papers
over in England which have yellow
tendencies. At least that is a fair
deduction from the fact that some Of
them have been worrying because the
Canadian government has given its
consent to the United States having
a sure.enough cruiser on the Great
Lakes. But while these British papers
may be worried, Canada does not seem.
to be at all afraid of the consequences
Of her act. She does not apprehend
being blown to pieces by the aforesaid
warship. At any rate, she is going to
take her chances. She believes in that
old couplet to the effect
Don't trouble trouble,
Till trouble troubles you,
and is not going to lose any sleep
over the matter. She knows that the
old tub will never be of much more
use than to train the naval reserves,
and the naval reserve is moi. very
formidable body. Likewise the cruis-
er must be cat in two before It can
get through the st. Lawrence canal
system to reach the Great Lakes.
Besides, Canada is resting secure in
the knowledge that sometime II will
have a canal system that will open
the way from the St. Lawrence to the
lakes for warships OF the largest class.
We might add that It will be long
time before that waterway is complet-
ed, but that will probably be long
time before there viii ever be any
need for It for war purposes.

The playground movement deserves

and the one is about as valuable as the
other-no more and no less, 1t seems
to be a vain work for ambassadors,

caution Americans from listening to
appeals from solicitors in the United
Kingdom for funds to prosecute claims
to- estates the claims being mainly
founded on the knowledge of the for

and the somewhat sorrowful fact that

speech in which he dwelt on the work
of the school, the faithfulness Of is
principal and the appreciation Of the
local people for his ten years Of EN-
cient service. It was beautiful and
feeling expression Of what the gift

The occasion itself with the mere
expression Of the confidence and es-
TEEN Of the people is an unusual tri-
butte to an educator, and to this case
it takes material form, for the watcn
is one OF the most costly made and
is elegantly, engraved.
While some Of the patrons Of the
school contributed, It is pre.eminent-

men Of the town. The incident means
raore than merely the giving and re-

manner means great deal. In the first
place It goes long way toward silenc.

location Of tie schoor was unfortunate

Of the local town that determines the

Just such a pronounced manner,
