M'DOUGALL TO STAY
DIRECTORS DECIDE HE CAN
NOT BE SPARED.
Will Solicit Contributions to Reduce
Bureaus Debt-Active Plans
Started to Raise Funds.

At a. special meeting of the board of
directors of the Bureau of Associated
Charities, held in Wallace Hall, yester-
day, at the cali of the president. Dr.
Laban Dennis, to consider the resig-
nation of Arthur W. McDougall, sec
rotary of the association. renewed en-
thusiasm was displayed in the matter
of reducing the debt of $500 which
now 'confronts the association, and
which is the principal reason for Mr..
McDougalTs action.
Not n few of the directors made known
their intention of doubling their annual
contribution, and already the debt has
been reduced about one-half. j. William
CLARK was among the first to take this
step, and, instead of his usual contribution
OF 800, he wrote his check for 800. Benja-
min Atha contributed S200, instead of SIG0.
and many others followed the same course.
Contributions have also been received from
citizens and business houses, who realize
what Mr., McDougalls withdrawal from
