GO0D FELLOWS
 GET TOGETHER
"Thcn life slips its tethcr, When good fellows get together, With a stein on the table


 With a stein on the table In the fellowship of spring"
 The chorus of the old drinking song rang deep at EIks' hall last night where the members of the antered tribe and their friends from far and near had gathered in social session. Good fellows were together and mNth and jolity prevailed. From early in the evening until the "wec sma' hours of the morn" the tide of merri. ment was high and it's safe to say that everybody drank the cup of con. teutment to the leas,
 Brother Bill King was the presid. ing officer and judge of the Kan. geroo court and he lived up to his reputation of being able to "go some. Brothers Hockett, wurzbacher and Jones were the police officers and in rapid succession each one present wa haled before the court-and the court got you coming and going The fines were light, but the evidence al. ways showed you to be guilty Of something or other.
 The orchestra. composed Of George Patrick. w. c. Blanchard, M. A. Snow, F. l.. Miller, H. W. Kirby, M selme and Fred CalIarman, did itself proud. Messrs. W. c. Blanchard, M. A. Snow, A. c. Blanchard and W. R. HTuery scored repeated cncores in their quartett singing. E. M, Mcm. tyre and E. J. Kngsbmy gave insru- mental solos that were well played and heartily appIauded
 Among the cxtemporc performers were Judge Le Fcrc, in his justly celebrated Siwash song; Charles RIn. stine and W. F, Carmichal in dances, and Elmer Farmer in recitation, Simple simon"
 The "beer committee" were kept  busy-so busy in fact. that frequently the members had to be relieved. A haze of smoke dimmed the long hall and undulated before the repeated gusts of laughter. About l6o Elks and visitors were present and most of them stayed until the strains Of "Auld Lang syne" brought one of the 9host successful social sessions ever held in 3kagway to a close. Those in charge deserve a great deal of credit

ST0Y DEFIES REF0RMERS
Atlantic City Mayor Ignores Order to
Close Saloons on Sunday.

Atlantic City, Aug. 24.-Intsrest in
the reform movement in this city was
intensified when Mayor T. p. Stoy Off
cially refused to receive a notice from
Attorney General Wilson ordering him
to close Atlantic City saloons on Sun
day. The notice was served upon him
in his office by David Johnson, a MEM
Der of the reformers' organization.
The mayor declared that he knew the
contents of the notice, which gives the
names and addresses OF thirty-eight
saloon and hotel proprietors who are
alleged to have sold liquor on three
Sundays of the present month, but he
refused to accept service even after
the paper and the signature of the at
torney general were read TO him.
Under the state law the refusal to
act within ten days on an order issued
by the attorney general makes a city
official liable to indictment for a mis-
demeanor.
Attorney General Wilson's action
follows an appeal made to him in
Trenton by the reformers. who have
secured his cooperation In the at
tempt to close the saloons here on
