called the invitation. Mr.. Everitt's
reply. was that he did not consider
Mr.. Whiting competent. Mr.. Everitt
also removed Mr.. Whiting from the
Board of Directors and submitted the
name of his bookkeeper who had been
elected Treasurer, without consulting
any one unless it was the substitute e.
The claims of Mr.. Everitt that the con
vention was irregular and revolution
airy is the merest bosh. as the time
and place of the meeting was arrang-
ed at the meeting of the Board of
Directors by unanimous VOTE, The
convention was irregular only in that
1t did not see fit 10 bow to the will
of Mr.. Everitt. His further claim that
1t was a packed convention dominated
by three State Delegations is also
false, as will be evidenced by the fol-
| lowing facts:
There were twenty States represent
ed and the greatest unanimity of sem
timent prevailed on all questions that
came up to be voted on. At this juno
ture we think it proper to state that
Mr.. Everitt called the meeting to order
and was in the chair except when he
saw fit 10 vacate until Mr.. Barnett
wasN elected. We are satisfied that
at least three-fourths of the delegates
went to this convention in love with
Mr.. Evreitt and SURPRISING he was all
right, but before time came to elect
officers, so many evidences of crooked
ness and other undesirable qualities
were manifest that an irresistible de-
mand was being made for a general
house cleaning. Seeing this, some of

CANADIANS WORSE THAN

FOR RIOTS
MAN REPORTED MURDERED IN
CHINESE RESTAURANT AND AS
JOiNT-MOUNTED POLICE OUT.

PORTLAND, Dee. 2S.-An Ore
gonian special from Lethbridge, AL
berta, says:
Because they believed that a prom
inent citizen had been murdered in a
Chinese restaurant, l, 500 men raided
the Oriental quarter late Christmas
night and left wreck behind. Res
taurants and laundries We're smashed,
doors and windows and entire fronts
of buildings were reduced to splin-
tiers. The regular police of the town
were powerless and a brigade of
mounted police had to be called out
to quell the riot.
1t was Just after O'Clock that the
mob began to form. The story had
got abroad that harry Smith, one of
the best known ranchers of the cattle
district of which this city is the cen
ter, had been fatally wounded in a
restaurant. Curiously enough. nei-
Their Smith nor anyone else had been
hurt, but even the police We're misled
by the tale and two Orientals We're
placed under arrest, charged with his
murder

RALEIGH, N c., Dec. 2S.-By a
majority of 545 Raleigh has voted
out its liquor dispensary and will be-
come a prohibition city, the dispen-
sary to close at noon today. In
the city there were 92S votes for pro-
hibition, 3S1 for diapensary and 2
for saloons. The dispensary has been
in operation here for four years. The
sales have amounted to about $780,
600 year, with about $75, 900 profit,
this being placed to the credit of the
school fund, the road fund and the
city expense account. 1t reduced tax
alton, but the voters have felt that
it's influence was not for the citys
best interests.

Although offered rs ii relief from

life. Accustomed for years to use
the soul destroying drug in large
quantities his sufferings since he has
been deprived of it are terrible. A
