SEN. FAULKNER RESIGNS
Y. Nj. c. A. Now Without a President
But Directors Will Soon Fill
the Vancancy.
From The World OF Tuesday.

prom Inc WorId OF IueSuay.
The directors of the Y M. C. A.
met last night at the association build
ing, the meeting being of special i'm
portance.
The resignation of Senator c. j..
Faulkner as president of the associa-
ton was received and reluctantly ac-
cepted. He stated to the board that
his time is so occupied with his pro-
fessional and business affairs that he
feels that he cannot devote that time
and attention to the ork of the Y. M
C. A. that is required of the president,
and therefore he desired that his res
ignation be accepted.
This makes two vancancies that the
board is called upon to fill, the regis
nation OF Mr.. q. r. Brantner as sec
ond vice pres dent having been re-
ceived a couple weeks since.
A committee, consisting of Messrs
f F. Willard, e C. Henshaw and E.
H. Sigler, was appointed to nominate
candidates for the offices of president
and second vice president and report
TO the board at a subsequent meeting.
II may be stated in this connection
that Mr.. George Ryneal is first vice
president of the association.
The bowling alleys were reported
to be out of order and they We're or
dered planed up. This will be done

Graichen of the Ladies Auxiliary of
the Y M. c. A appeared for confer
ence with the beard with reference to
the financial condition of the associa-
ton. They were informed that the
auxiliary would, as heretofore, be ex-
pected to provide for the payment of
the interest on the indebtedness OF
the association, and, if possible, pay
some on the principal. The indebted
ness amounts to $11,6O0. The commit
tee told the board that the auxiliary
could be depended upon to perform its
part.
The physical department commit
tee of the Y. M. c. A. reported that
the baseball field had been leased
from Mr.. Charles Roush for another
year and that the prospects were
good for baseball, tennis and track
sports this season.
1t was reported that State Secretary
Floraine of the Y. NJ. c. tA. would be
here from Parkersburg this week with
the names of three or more persons
whom he could recommend for gen
eral secretary Of the association, q
vacancy having existed there since
early last fall. The board is anxious
to fill this vacancy for the good of the
association. but so far no available
man has been found at the salary of
fered 1t now seems reasonably Ger
tain that that problem will soon be
/ solved

A $4,000 BOOK.

1t is fitting that the highest price
ever paid for a book should be paid
for copy of the Gutenberg Bible, the
first important work printed from
movable types. But there are other
good reasons why nothing short of a
bid of $4,000 should have been suffi-
cient to secure the two fine volumes
ut the Hoe sale. They make one OF
only seven known copies printed on
vellum, nearly all of which are held
by public institutions and can never

JAIL SENTENCE AND FINE
Joe Thompson Pays Dearly
For Resisting an officer. :

Joe Thompson, alias "Calico-hand-
ed Joe," a negro, was taken before
Judge Naylor, Monday, to answer TO
the charge Of resisting an officer. He
plead guilty and the jury fixed his
punishment at so days in jail and
$50 fine.
Joe is always In trouble. Two year
ago while Sheriff johnson was ar
resting him, the negro threw a gun
in the officers face and would have
killed him had not Squire Jackson
knocked the revolver upwards In the
nick of time. That offense was boot
Logging. He got six months in Jail.
Last June he was again tried for
selling liquor and got 100 days in
Jail
He was again arrested for bootleg
ging a few days ago, and 1t was in
this instance he resisted arrest-or
rather ran from the sheriff on Clin-
ton street. He attempted to knock
the sheriff down when overtaken, but
w. G. Reed and l.. A. Stone went TO
the officers assistance and they
overpowered the negro.
When Joe finishes his present SEN
tence, he will then stand trial for two
more bootlegging cases.
