The little city OF Detroit, Mimi, the
beautiful resort where hundreds of Far
goans find health, rest and recreation
during the hot summer months, has
demonstrated what can be done with
municipality owned and managed insti-
tutions. A clear profit OF $27, 900 over
and above operating expenses is the
record that has been established for
the waterworks and light plant of
that city in the past six years The

of the size of the place. If Detroit
can make this showing is there any
legitimate reason to believe that Fargo
with hundreds of industries to supply,
can not do still better. The publicity

the water and light fund for the city

TELlER'S WOUND NOT SERIOUS
BANK OFFICIALS ISSUSE STATE
MENT ABOUT SHOOTING.
Satisfied That Stevens Was Shot by
Negro Who Intended to
Commit Robbery.

F. Bernard Stevens, paying teller at the
United States Saving Bank. who was shot
in the arm Saturday night shortly before
10 o'clock, he alleges, by an unidentified
colored man, is still under treatment at
the Emergency Hospital. His wound Is
painful, but not necessarily dangerous.
The patient has not yet recovered from
the nervous shock he experienced. but the
physicians think he will be able to leave
the hospital In q few days.
James s. Karrick, president of the
bank; James M. Baker, and Justice DAN
iel Thew Wright, first and second vice
presidents. respectively. of the institu-
tion, made a careful investigation of the
shooting yesterday, and reached the con-
clusion that the young man was shot Dy
q negro under the circumstances as he
described them. Following their investt-
CATION, they gave out a statement OF the
shooting as follows:

POLICE MAKE GAMBLING RAID
FOUR CASES IN COURT THIS
MORNING.
Two Defendants Forfeit Collateral,
One Is Convicted and One
Case Is Continued.

Four cases of permitting gambling. the
different sections of the city yesterday
morning and Saturday night were in the
Police Court today. Two of the defend
ants forfeited S2J collateral each, one
went to jail for four months and the
fourth was given a continuance until
Thursday morning.
Percy Ellis. the convicted defendant.
was arrested early yesterday morning at
6S' Is street southeast. during a raid
made on the house by Policemen Moran
and Coombs' OF the fifth precinct The
police had the place under surveillance
for some time because of complaints filed
with the precinct commander. Ellis and
five associates were found absorbed In
crap game. All sorts of excitement
followed the appearance of the police and
Charley Scott, one of the players, incl
dentally punched Policeman Coombs for
his interference. The entire party was
taken to the station house, where Ellis
and Scott were locked UP and the 9TH
ers permitted to go as witnesses for the
government. Scott failed to appear for
trial today upon charge of assaulting
Coombs and forfeited SIS collateral.
Harvey Shaner and Samuel s. King, the
defendants who forfeited their security.
were arrested by raiding parties from the
10th and 7th precincts at 907 Columbia
road and 2Gth street and the water front
respectively. Both men are alleged to
have been responsible for poker games.

But Money is Needed.

But to keep these Fairgrounds going
costs money-only 5000 for the summer
but teachers cost money, and SO does the
most modest equipment. Get the chill
dren a basket ball, just a basket ball,
and they will have lots of fun suggest
ed somebody not long ago when the fact
that there was hardly enough money to
buy beans for bean bags was apparent.
1t looked simple. but enough basket balls
for all the children woud cost as much
money as some Of the smaller automobiles
that whisk through the streets. A bas-
ket ball or d bean bag Is considered by
the experts actually better thing for
the children than the much more eXpen-
sive swings.
Some ingenious teachers have devised
real athletic contests in which those OBJ
jects are used. and the games require
skill, strength, speed and judgment: and
the child that has not all those qualif-
cations strives and strives until he gets
some or all of them. There is a game In
which any number of boys can play In
which two bean bags are used. wnich IS
just as much exercise as relay race,
and much better for the boy than chas-
ing up an alley after having fired stone
through drug store window, which may
happen at any minute when "the gang
is on the street.
The Ideal Equipment.
The ideal equipment under the circum-
stances comprises, according to Miss
Stoneroad, a sand box or pile, swings,
seesaw, chute, a tether pole, croQuet,
quoits and an iron ring through which
basket ball can be thrown. With this out
fit u good teacher can keep tremendous
number of children interested, and can
give them the time Of their lives As has
been suggested there would be different
plan for the morning and afternoon hours.
and probably some sort of industrial work
would occupy the morning.
Story telling is going to be a great fea-
ture Of the Fairgrounds, and 1t is a fea-
ture which the noise haters might apore-
ciate. The teacher tells or reads a bully
good story that holds the attention right
straight through. and when she picks the
right tale she generally has an Cpen-eared
audience that would make professional
reader jealous. And the girls may be
taught handiwork. such as simple en-
broidering or more useful sewing. and
can be helped with what they already
know.
There is a splendid chance for a great
many happy hours this summer-if only
that 1000 can be raised.

PROSPERITY OF IRELAND.
Theme of Mr.. Curtis Lecture to
Benefit Of st. AIMS Asylum.

A large audience was at the National
Theater last night to hear William E..
curtis lecture on Ireland and the musical
program which preceded it. the entertain
ment being for the benefit of st. Ann's s
Infant Asylum.
Mr.. Curtis chose for the principal fea-
ture of his lecture the present prosperity
of the Emerald Isle.
ireland is prosperous today" he de-
clared In fact. it IS the most flourish
ing section of the British empire. In
place of the old poverty and inertia we
row find activity, hope and high faith
IN the future, and the effects of the spirit
now being displayed by Irishmen at home
IS sure to result in great progress during
the next few years.
Where formerly there were only large
landed estates in Ireand we now find
small farms owned by vigorous farmers.
The country bristles with agricultural ac-
tivty, and all traces of that benumbing
poverty which formerly prevailed among
the tenants of the big estates is rapidly
vanishing"
After describing the larger cities Of
Ireland and their progress during recent
years. Mr.. Curtis closed his lecture with
a tribute to Killarney, which, he said.
furnishes the most beautiful scenery In
all Ireland While it was not as grand
rs the scenery that is to be found else
where in the world. it was rarely beauti-
ful, the lakes being famous the world
over.
The musical program included two bari
tone solos by Don s. Edmunds. soprano
solos by Miss Edna James Sheehy, tenor
solos by Lucius f. Randolph. jr., con-
traito solos by Miss Margaret Eichorn.
pass solos by Ambrose A. Durkin and
ilute and piccolo solos by William S. De

panists were Miss Mullaly and Miss Agnes

Popularity Of Fairgrounds.

AS probably every parent knows, the
Fairgrounds are now in operation q few
minutes a day, and the teachers OF the
schools watch over the children to see
that they keep within the rules. They
have learned an almost endless number
of games, many of them needing little or
no equipment. and many of them having
no limit to the number Of children who
can be included. The children like to
play, and would probably come back
after school and play all the afternoon.
say the teachers. Next summer, by vary
ing the morning and afternoon hours, 1t
Is thought that for two months a vaca-
ton could be built up for the stay-at-
homes that would last in the memories
and show in their bodies for lifetime.
And it would take only $1,000. II there
is no pot of gold at the end of the rain
bow which the school playground people
are following. then perhaps the folks who
believe children ought to be locked up
until they grow boards or wear long
dresses will be happy. but certainly the
children will not. The people who OBJ
ject to Fairgrounds because the children
make too much noise ought to be told
what Miss Stoneroad, at the head of this
school playground problem. has to say
about 1t. Well directed play is not pro-
ductiye of wild shriekings and ceilings.
Come to think OF II, when boys are striv-
ing in a tense, hard-fought game, they do
not veil.

RACE CLASH IN GOTHAM.
Sons Of Ireland and Italy Figh
Forty-Five Minutes.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Fifty or more
Irishmen and Italians came together in
a race riot at 10th avenue and 32d street
last night. and order was not restored
until an Italian saloon and an Italian
grocery store had been wrecked, thirty
combatants dubbed by the police and
eighteen arrests made. The fighting last
ed forty-five minutes.
The trouble is said to have started in
the grocery store over an argument be-
tween two Irishmen and three Italians.
From a Wordy quarrel the affair grew
into a fist fight. and the commotion
brough a dozen Italians to their country
mems assistance. The two lrishmen re-
treated into the street. where they were
reinforced by a score of their countrymen
from adjacent tenements, and the riot
followed.

cash and securities. which has been COM
pleted, shows both cash and securities
intact in the vaults Of the bank"
Detective Burlingame visited the wound
ed man at the Emergency Hospital yes
terday and heard his version of the
shooting, his statement being a repetition
of what he stated Saturday night. Mr.
told a Star reporter this morning that
the accounts Of the institution were all
right, and the three officials knew of no
reason why the stories told by the two
young men do not give an accurate ac-
count Of what happened. The bank of
ficials were told Of the strange colored
man lettering about the bank Saturday
afternoon. and of Stevens having sent
Joseph Walker, the colOred janitor, out
about $40 o'clock to see IL he were still
there.
Stevens account is that the colored
man entered walked through the hall and
was found by him when he went back with
the pistol to make an investigation. The
teller told the detectives that the col
ored man grabbed him. and that the
weapon was exploded while 1t was still
in his (StevensD hand. Bank officials are
satisfied that the negro went to the
upper floor of the building. passed out
through an open window to the roof, and
reached the ground by means Of a scat
folding.
Joseph Walker, the coIored janitor, told
the officials OF the teller having sent him
out of the bank to see IL the colored
man was still there. The shooting oc-
CURED about ten minutes before closing
time. and caused considerable excite
ment in the vicinity of 14th and U streets
A colored man was arrested Saturday
night on suspicion of being the one who
did the shooting. but was released.

the bank yesterday and today. and made
a thorough examination of the premises

afternoon that no clue to the identity
of the negro had been obtained.

The Geological Park authorities are in
formed that five chamois presented to the

Switzerland have arrived at New York on
the steamship Pennsylvania. The animals

the end of that time. provided they are
given a clean bill of health, 1t is expected
they will be shipped to this city and
placed on exhibition in the Zoo.
The chamois were first assigned to the
Department of the Interior, with the view
Of placing them among the animals in the
Yellowstone Park, where they would
have the benefit Of mountains. It is un-
derstood. however, it has been decided
that the climate of the Yellowstone is
too severe for the goats, and they will
become the property of the Geological
