PEACE DOVE AT
ARDEN MEETING
Only Exciting Incident Was
Opposition to Early Closing
of Club House

The Arden Economic Club met last
evening. All was peaceful as the ex-
pected appearance Of George Brown,
the philosophical anarchist, did not
materalize. Browns friends did not
attempt to have him granted the prl-
vilege of the floor and it is now
thought that he has boycotted the or
ganization.
The greater part of the session was
devoted to a discussion whether tho
club should close at 10 or IL O'Clock.
Fred Windle, the Philadelphia LAWYER.
Professor J. H. Garrod and Upton Sim
clair, participated in the argument. II
was finally decided to close at IL
o'clock.
Another question that was debated
was whether the club or the trustees
should purchase life savers for the
swimming pool. The fire insurance OF,
the club house may also be increased.
The music-loving portion of Arden
Will enjoy a treat on Friday evening.
August 25, when the choral chorus I'M
der the leadership of Professor Ed
monds will give their recital. The
chorus has been practicing for several
weeks and will be assisted by several
soloists from Philadelphia

DUMMY in THE
CAR FENDER
Boys Prank Gives Peoples
Line Crew Scare of Their
Lives

Somebody played a prank on the
motorman Of car No. So, of the Peo-
pies Railway Company enroute from
East Lake, about 1890 o'clock last
night, which nearly resulted in a
panic in the car and the collapse Of
the motorman. The motorman OF car
No. SO last night was A. L. farrell.
The passengers we're startled when
the motorman suddenly shut of
power and applied brakes, at the same
time uttering a weird shrek The
passengers were preparing to leave
the car when the conductor rushed
forward to learn the cause of trouble.
He saw that the motorman was badly
frightened and shaking from head to
foot, and unable to utter word. The
conductor, glancing at the tracks
ahead, saw what appeared to be the
form Of a man under the fender. He
jumped from the car and stopped to
assist the apparently injured man.
His hands, however, closed over
straw, and a crowd of boys on the
street corner, voicing a hearty laugh,
ftold the remainder of the tale. They
had placed a dummy on the tracks,
, and IL looked for all the world like a
human being. It was some time be
fore the motorman got over his
fright He didn't appreciate the
prank.

Nothing But FriendlieSt Feeling
Toward U. S.
AMONG ALL Her PEOPLE
RESIDENTS OF JAPAN
DRAW UP RESOLUTION in
WHICH THEY DENoUNcE THE
STATEMENTS THAT THERE is
HOSTILITY TO AMERICA.

Toxic, Feb. ga meeting of Am
erican residents in Japan was held in
Yokohama recently in the interests Of
the international peace movemel
Among the business done was the
adoption or resolution designed to
refute the reports that public senti-
ment in this country is hostile to the
United States, as follows:
Resolved, That in our opinion the
people of Japan have at all times en-
tertained the most friendly and cordial
sentiment toward the government an6
people of the United States, and that
there never has been and is not now
any feeling other than one of conf
dence and gratitude. We believe, upon
evidence that cannot be doubted, tina
there is not to be found in the Japan
ese empire any wish or thought other
than to maintain the most friendly
and cordial relations with the republic
OF the United States, and and any
to the contrary, wher-
ever emanating and from wha1e
cause proceeding, are baseless calum-
MES which, II uneontradlcted, can only
result in vast material losses to the
people Of both governments and in
creating an unhappy prejudice between
them"

ONLY SEVEN MORE WORKING
DAYS AFTER ToDAVs
SESSIONS.

Bismarck, N. d., Feb. 2S.-The house

recess from 10 O'Clock Tuesday

the final grind begins. Including to-
day, there are only eight working days
left until the last adjournment, and a
great many bills yet on which action
of some kind is to be taken.
Sessions morning, noon and night,
will probably be the programme Of the
lower house, while the upper body
win doubtless hold two a day next
week, IL not before. Seldom does the
upper house have a night session ex-
cept on the last night, when the clock
is set by Mandan time and the hour
hand turned back frequently.
Committees are heard at it and

pleasures until a week from Friday,
when the legislature will adjourn sine
die. At that time, it is said, regu-
lar jubilee will be in order and the
nnal leave taking will be a merry one,
though sad in some respects as sew
eral who go this time, will not return
and with their departure they will
pass out of state politics and public
life into retirement.
