Chamber of Commerce I'm
dertakes TO Put Institu-
ton Upon Its Feet,
ITS VALUE TO CITY
CLEARLY PRESENTED
Blanks for Subscriptions to Be Dis
tributed Through the
City.

Funds to go toward the maintenance
of George Washington University are
being raised by the members Of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce.
A special committee has been appoint
ed by that body to consider the case
OF the university. and TO devise means
for circulating a subscription among
the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia.
This committee, which is headed by
Henry B. F. Mcfarland. one of the
trustees of the university. has not
delayed the taking up of the task 1t
net after the adjournment of the
Chamber Of Commerce last night, and
again today. The matter OF raising
the money has been gone over care
fully, and the work has been divided
among the members.
4. Lisner, in behalf of the trustees
OF the university. brought the matter OF
George Washington Un!versity's needs
to the Chamber at its regular monthly
meeting last night. He read a candid
statement issued by the trustees Of
the school recently. in which its finan-
cial condition was made known, and
in which an earnest appeal is made 10
the public for help. He explained
that a fund of from $4,000 10 $4,000
is needed at once il the institution
is to be carried on during the next
school year upon its present nigh
basis.
Plea of Mr.. Lisner.
Following the reading of this state
ment Mr.. Lisrsr said:
AS you will see by the report I have
just read, the George Washington Uni
versity IS in great need Of money.
And. is il any wonder. when students
only pay one-haIf Of what it costs to
teach them. No university in the coun-
try can get along without a deficit, IN
less there is a large endowment fund to
fall back on.

suitable for a university than Washing

PEARY OFF TO EUROPE
Before Going, he Gave his Reason for
Calling Cook Down so Roughly

New York, April 27.-At a farewell
luncheon rendered him at the Brook
lyn club yesterday, Commander Robert
+. Peary, who will said for Europe to-
day. took occasion to explain why he
attacked the claim of DR.. Cook SO
strongly on his return from his polar
trip. He said:
Three weeks b6ore l got back TO
civilization I had the fullest informa-
tion of what had been done by anoth-
er in the Arctic regions and when and
where and what would be claimed by
this man. The kilograms / sent, which
caused me to be criticized, We're sent
deliberately and after full considera-
tion.
Il knew that a deliberate attempt
was to be made to defraud the coun-
try financially, and as an officer of
the United States navy, / felt that /
must give warning to the country.
and that 1 owed il to myself also to
give warning in order that / might
escape charge Of being an accessory
10 the crime. My position is still un-
changed and it will not be changed
hereafter"

West Palm Beach, April 27.-Wash
Pope, the negro who shot and fatally
wounded Deputy Sheriff r. L. Baker
Monday and who was surrounded in a
swamp on Lake Worth all that night,
was captured yesterday morning by
an army of deputy sheriffs, who push
ed from all sides into the swamp. The
negro was brought to the city in a
motor boat under heavy guard.
The posse was compelled to draw
their revolvers to defend the negro as
they marched through the city. From
miles around men and boys have been
gathering in this city and were heav-
lily armed in anticipation of a lynch
ing. After meeting with such a recep-
tion from the posse they decided to
wait until nightfall to secure the ne
gro and were thoroughly prepared for
the lynching, men carrying pieces OF
rope and openly making known their
Intentions.
After remaining in this city for only
half an hour the guard decided to
spirit the negro away. putting him
aboard an automobile and leaving the
city before the mob was aware Of
their intention.

GAMBLER TO THE FRONT
One of the Best Towns In Marion
County Numbers Cleanliness
Among It's EnterPrises

Gambler, April 27-In response to a
call from the executive committee for
donation work, almost the entire male
population Of Gambler met at seven
o'clock Saturday morning and pro-
ceeded to clean up the streets by re-
moving dead trees, pruning live ones.
and raking up and hauling and burn
ing off rubbish in general Among
those present who deserve special
mention were the young men of Cand
Ter, as il is very seldom that you find
in a community a class of boys who
take the interest in a move OF this
kind that these are showing. Not only
did they do this work, but did it with
so much good will and neatness that
it caused the favorable comment of
all discerning ones, and everybody is
in favor of this good work going on.
We have set aside Saturday a
street cleaning day and in the mean
time everyone is going to clean up
around their own premises and by do
ing this we will make Gambler the
neatest and healthiest town along the
y. G. l.. Railroad.
Gambler will also build a hard road.
Work will begin on this in a week or
ten days. 1t will start at the postof-
itc cent OIL, cAudt diS-
tances east and west on Belleview and
Oklawaha roads.
Gambler before the freeze was con-
sidered one of the most beautiful
places along the A. c. L. road, but so
they had at that time. and never
thinking that this soil could be used
for anything but the growing Of citrus
fruits. they gathered up what little
they had and moved to other locali-
ties. But if they should return now
and see the groves of oranges and
peaches. also the fields of corn, velvet
beans, watermelons, tomatoes. peas,
etc. growing where once stood those
magnificent orange groves, they would
indeed open their eyes with wonder.
Gambler not only at this time was a
prosperous orange growing section,
but a winter resort as well, people
coming here from almost every state
to enjoy the splendors Of Florida win
ters and the good hunting and fishing
that abound this place as it is in easy
reach of Lakes Smith, Bowers and
Weir; also Oklawaha river, where a
couple went Saturday returning with
a catch of one hundred and twenty
five to their credit. The woods and
fields abound in quail and will pigeons
and on Heather Island lying only a
short distance from here, can be found
squirrels. turkey and deer While in
our midst lies the beautiful lake OF
Eden Garden which is an ideal boat
ing and bathing resort Taking every
thing into consideration, Gambler has
a fine location and all it needs, to get
its share Of the usual influx Of winter
visitors, is to make it's Immediate
vicinity more attractive, which is the
| aim of this association. realizing that
we not only attract others. but make
our homes more pleasant for ourselves
as we'll. Press Correspondent.
