POUCHAN WINS IN
FRENCH HOSPITAL
Facing Charges of Theft From
Institution, He Is Triumph
antIy INDICATED
His Friends Are Returned on
Board, Defeating All Who
Opposed Them

The efforts to defeat the election of
the friends of President Alexander
Pouchan OF the French hospital by the
faction led by Julius Godeau yesterday
at the annual election of the hospital
society were futile. A bitter fight
lasting nearly q year, has been waged
between President Pouchan and his
friends on the directorate board Of the
hospital society and the faction led by
julius Godeau. A few months ago
charges We're preferred against fPresi-
dent Pouchan and superintendent Mi
queu Both officials were accused of
taking property from the hospital and
President Pouchan was charged with
having taken foodstufs and wine be-
longing TO the hospital and using the
articles named in his restaurants. AS
the result of the charges made against
superintendent Miqueu his resignation
was rendered 10 the board Of directors.
President Pouchan refused to retire
from his Office despite the serious
charges made against him. Pouchan
asserted that the charges were false
and malicious.
Yesterday the struggle ended with
a victory for President Pouchan, and
the vote given him and his friends as
directors was a vindication of the
chorges brought against him. Every
member Of the Pouchan- Bergerot ticket
was elected. Not one of the candidates
on the Godeau ticket was chosen,
GOdeau himself being defeated II votes
by the lowest candidate on the Pou
chan Bergerot ticket
Nearly 1900 members of the French
hospital society voted at yesterdays
election and both sides had a large
number Of workers who solicited the
support OF the voters for their re-
spective tickets. The balloting was not
completed until 5 o'clock and the vote
was not counted until after o'clock.

combination work the Rovers found

ken. who ran through some of the de-
tenders and passed to Pike. This
player transferred TO Petrie, who in
turn sent the bail across TO Aitken, and
that player without as much as saying
by Your leave" sent the sphere crash
ing into the net.
The second half was productive of
some good football in spots and the
spectators got enthused at times. The
Burns were playing a forceful game
and threatened to equalize at any mo-
ment The Rovers were in their stride.

play. with the result that the best eff

The Star Lumber Co.
If you are in the notion Of build
ing, you will never have an oppor-
tunity so golden as the present time
to save money on building materials
The Star Lumber company, Third and
Jackson streets, are selling lumber for
instance, from $500 to $500 per
thousand. less than at this time last
year.; and ali other materials at
proportionate reductions. This re-
duction in the price of building ma
terials is caused by the recent
financial furry which affected the
large mills and wholesalers, and made
it possible for retail dealers to buy
at a price much lower than at any
time in several years. This reduction
means great deal to prospective
builders as about Is per cent can be
saved in the cost of construction, both
on labor and materials used. The Star
people were fortunate in being low on
lumber when the drop came and were
able to take advantage of the great
reductions, which is shared by build
ers purchasing materials from them.
Their stock is complete in all lines,
and they are agents for only standard
materials, such as lola Portland
cement, Monarch plaster. Crescent
lime and Rubberoid roofing.
