Southern Commercial Congress, Wal

tary OF the General Education Board,

OF DIR. Knapp's life and work. Al
though many years of DIR. knapp's

public service, said Mr.. Butterick
After speaking of DIR. knapp's work

the boll-weevil and the inauguration
of farm demonstration work, the
speaker declared he became the apos-
tie of agriculture in all the Southern
States. travelling almost constantly
and addressing legislative bodies,
students and teachers of agricultural
colleges, meetings of bankers and
business men, and gatherings of
practical farmers Not orly did he
teach farmers how to raise cotton
and corn. said the speaker, but he
also taught them the business side
OF farming, how to find the cost of a
crop and whether they were making
or losing money.
After reviewing briefly DR.. Knapp's
work in connection with the organi-
zation of boys corn clubs and girls
canning and poultry clubs Mr.. But

REPORT LAST NIGHT.

In the recent re-assessment OF

not likely an election will be

CHIEF REFUSES
To ALLOW A
MEETING

Chief of Police LOOMS threw
a firebrand into the camp OF the
local reformers who do their
campaigning on the streets by
yesterday issuing an edict that
none but religious meetings would
be permitted at the corner of 18th
and Pacific avenue.
The socialists have been in the
habit of holding meetings there.
Recently the corner also was &C.
cupied by mission workers. Now
the chief of police has given no.
tice that none but religious meet
ings may be held. -
1t was expected there would be
row last night and the chief
sent down a squad of 10 plain
clothes men to break up any at
tempt to hold meeting on this
corner. Socialists have given
notice they would hold meet
ing there despite the orders of
LOOMS.
The meeting did not occur,
however, and there was no trou-
BILE.
Leslie Aller, socialist candidate
for congress, however, has given
notice he will hold meeting
there this week and a free speech
campaign promises to be the re-
suit of tn chiefs order similar to
the one in Spokane which cost
that city thousands of dollars.
