Explosion
Postponed
One Week

The firecrackers were not set
off under the civil service board
today.
Mayor Seymour has the resig-
nation of President Louis Foss,
but it has a string to 1t. The
scheme of the Foss faction, which
includes the mayor, was to have
Foss hand in his resignation and
then the commission would ask the
other two to quit also. Then it was
intended to refuse to accept the
Foss resignation and to accept the
Others.
Commissioner Petit, it is un-
|derstood, would not stand for this
deal, and if there is any fireworks
1t will not be until next week,
when Freeland gets home, and
then the proposition will have to
be on the square for whole new
board and one that will stand for
real civil service.
Petit says he will not be a par
ty to killing off civil service.

accepted a bribe of $1,000 from
Gideon Tupper, keeper of resort,
was today sentenced by Judge
Ronald to imprisonment for term
of not less than three years nor
more than 10 years. within the dis
cretion of the court.
After Attorney Shipley for
Wappenstein had made the argu-
ment for a new trial and followed
this up with a motion to arrest
judgment, both of which motions
were denied, Will H. Morris, chief
counsel for Wappenstein, made a
passionate plea for Justice tenn
pered with mercy"
He begged that Wappenstein be
let off with fine only. When he
referred to Wappenstein's 18-year-
old daughter, his 16-year-old son,
his wife, against whose family,
the Benns, pioneers in the state,
there has never been taint of
suspicion" Wappenstein's face
flushed, his eyes grew moist and
there was suspicion of tear.

With the carnival celebrating the
breaking of ground for the Pana-
ma-Californfa fair well on, there Is
a bitter fight behind the scenes.
1t is fight for carnival queen.
There were two candidates,
Miss Helene Richards, a society
girl, and polly" Lee, a mechan-
les daughter, and the darling of
the navy.
The jackies spent their salaries
and savings alike getting votes
for Polly" The society people
worked hard for Miss Richards.
At the end Miss Lee was leading
by good vote.
But just before the polls closed
a wealthy man hurried to the polls
with a check for $3.50 for votes
for Miss Richards. The commit
tee had refused all through to ac-
cept anything but cash. The
money was refused. The man
hurried around to get the check
cashed. 1t was too late. But the
committee waived the rules, ac-
cepted the money and Miss Rich
ards was declared the winner.
Now the sailors are up in arms
and declare they will boycott the

A HOME FOR
MAYNARD GIRLS
SOUTHERN RESCUE MISSION Is
SECURING FUNDS WITH WHICH
TO ESTABLISH INSTITUTION
GREAT WORK is PROPOSED.

The following, by A. W. Elliott, of
the Southern Rescue Mission, is self
explanatory:
100000 Industrial Home For Hayward
Girls.
After hard and persistent effort we
have finally organized The Southern
Rescue Mission, with the object in
view of establishing a 500, 600 Indus
trial Home for wayward girls. Such
home to be absolutely self supporting;
an institution that will not be depend
emit upon charity contributions for its
maintenance.
Seeing and realizing the need of
such an institution we have begun
campaign to raise this money; our
plan in brief is as follows:
Have the home centrally located for
the states of Georgia, Florida, Ala
bana, South Carolina and Tennessee,
raising this fund from these states,
with the understanding that no con-
tributor will ever again be called upon
for funds to maintain the home, and
further that any girl from either of
the five states, who expresses de-
sire to reform, will be received and
given employment until a permanent
position on the outside can be secured
for her.
we would like to find one thousand
men and women who will pledge us
800 each, payable by November LIST
| eve have just begun and already have
seven pledges of 800 each).
Of course we will not ignore small
contributions, but inasmuch as you are
never to be approached for funds to
support this institution, we viii thank
you to make your contribution as lib
eral as you can.
If there is an oppressed, outcast, and
forsaken sinner in our universe who
needs the kindly aid of right thinking
people. it is she who occupies a dark
and gloomy room on back street; she
who goes down to an unwept grave
have learned to know these people
as but few do, and have visited many
thousands, and with such a home as
mentioned above, to offer them, we
could fill it to overlooking in a few
months. These girls have a certain
amount of pride left, and, therefore, do
not like to enter home that is simply
designated "a Home For Fallen Girls, .
| but will gladly enter an industrial in
/ stitution where moderate employment
| would be given them and where the
girls would feel independent.
We appeal to the reader to aid us
| in this movement; if the amount that
you are able to send US is small, even
very small, why, if it is the best that
you can do. we will appreciate it just
as much as though it were 500; and
