RECREATION FOR GIRLS
I. w. G. A. Has Leased Building In
Oak Grove for Girls' Recreation
Home for Two Months.

The board of directors of the Y, w.
c. A. met this morning and decided to
provide a summer home for the men,
bers of the association during July
and August. The smaller building Of
Oak grove seminary has been secured
for these two months. Miss Guernsey,
Junior secretary OF the Y, will be at
the building during this time and the
privileges of this summer home will
be open to members.
1t Is the object of the board to help
TO make the summer pleasant for those
girls who will not get a vacation away
from the city and various forms Of
entertainment will be inaugurated. The
seminary is far enough from the city
to get a breath of the country and
still be close enough to continue work.
Three meals will be served every day
and there will be rooms to accommo-
date sixteen. 1t will be necessary to
charge a small fee. to make expenses.
but this will be low enough so that
all girls can enjoy the summer home.
The plan of a summer home is a new
one here and it is hoped that in this
way the Y: may be of great benefit.
There will be tennis camping and out
door sports. the building being set
amid the beautiful oaks of the citv's
natural park and happy times are tn
ticipated.

DAYToN's DEAD HORSES.

"Sanitation first and foremost. Then
everything else"
Such was the spirit of the members
of the Dayton Bicycle club, when they
| met as the waters receded from their
club house to consider what service
they could best render to their strick-
en- city, and volunteered to remove the
dead animals streWn in the streets
The Dayton Bicycle club showed
wisdom. Nearly every horse in the
| more than seven square miles Of the
| city that was under water-and this
area contained all the important livery
| stables-Was drowned, and quick ac-
| ton was needed to remove the bodies
| to prevent serious results. A sanitary
| department was organized, and as
rapidly as automobile trucks and Wag-
ons were volunteered, they were press
| ed into service. Over 10O7vehicles and
about 500 men were engaged in this
work. A rendering company, which
handles all the garbage collected in
| the city, agreed to take care of the
horses and did so as fast as they came
for time When the carcasses came
SO. rapidly that it was necessary to
heap them up on the grounds Of the
plant. and then on vacant field near
by, the plant was a grewsome place
indeed. Up to the night Of March 81,

This is as worthy a cause as was
ever proposed in the city. DR.. Knowl~
ton meant much not only to the COL
lege, but to the city and state, and it
seems only fitting that some acknowl-
edgement should be made Of this. A
beautiful gate overlooking the city
park would indeed be appropriate.
that all who enter the campus might
be reminded Of the man who dedicated
his life and work to such cause.
Many Pay Tribute.
Scores of Fargo citizens have paid
tribute to the memory of DR.. Knowl-

production of them all but following
are a few from prominent men:

The death of Prof. P. G. Knowlton
leaves a large vacancy in the educa-
tional ranks of the city and of the
state. Fargo college is not the only
mourner. The cause of education has
sustained a great loss. His place in
education was distinctive and will be
difficult to fill. Of forceful but clean
character. of intexible integrity and
pure motive. he was yet approachable,
kind and cOmpaniOnable. Those who
knew him loved him. Those who know
him best loved him most.
With but a single purpose in life,
that of directing the minds Of young
people toward d worthy goal, he con-
cerned himself little for wealth, save
the riches of mind and heart which re
impaired lavishly to others and the
harvest of which he has now gone to
gather.
Professor Knowlton was not only a.

KnOWItOn Memorial
Gate Will Be Erected
at Entrance to Campus
Will Stand Either at Top Of Hill in From Of College Or at the
Corner Of Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street
Fargo College Students Have Taken Hold Of Proposition With
Their Characteristic Enthusiasm
Prominent Men Of the City Have Paid Tribute to the Memey
Of the Departed Educator

A Knowlton memorial gate is to be
erected at Fargo college on the en-
trance to the campus. The students
on the hill, who have always been so
loyal to DR.. Knowlton, have all re-
sponded to the idea, and will CO.
operate with citizens, friends, and
alumni in honoring the great teacher.
A beautiful gate is being planned
which will stand either at the top Of
the hill in front of the college or at
the corner of Seventh avenue and
Seventh street on the north side of
the library. 1t is very probable that
the first named site will be chosen,
in front of the building in which DR..
Knowlton labored SO many years
ago.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1913-05-08

According to present plans the gate
Will be built as soon as the sub
scriptions have been raised, and the
corner stone will be laid at commence
ment. It is stated that already pledges
have been made by prominent citizens,
all Of whom mourn the loss with the
college.
1t is probable that the structure,
composed of two columns, with lights
on each, will be built of Hebron brick,
with stone foundations, joined with an
arch.
The students of Fargo college, when
aroused to a definite task, have never
been found wanting. The unified

FIVE POWER LOAN
SIGNED IN PEK|NG
EARLY YESTERDAY
China's Day of Prayer Does
Not Prove Peaceful Ow-
ing to DissensiOn Over
Measure

Picking, April 27-Chna's Is day of prayer
did not prove entirely peaceful due to
dissension over the five power loan The
loan, which Is for $125, 100000 was signed
just before daybreak, the Chinese and
foreign signatories having assembled late
last night to conclude the details
delegation from the senate and house
of representatives gathered outside .he
British bank, where the representatives
OF the government and the five power
group met. The vice president of the
senate acted as spokesman for the dele
cation, and when an opportunity was
given him TO confer with the signatories
he explained that the majority in the par
lament considered the loan Illegal.
Since the dynastic days question of a
loan has been discussed in various forms,
and 1t threatens now to bring about an
other revolution similar to that caused by
the Hu Kuang loan. The situation is
about as follows:
!, Ha'se Csc ssssr l1anlszs lf;sS.s H. 4 c'asi
nese government nave arranged the loan
practically for Yuan Shi Kai's cabinet,
which Yuan shl Kai completely DON'T
mated The cabinet contends that the
government has right to conclude such
a contract because the permanent as
sembly has not yet been constituted, and
therefore approval of the six power loan
by the provisional assembly holds good.
In addition to the withdrawal of the
United States from the combination
however, other alterations have been
made in the contract since the assembly
approved it.
The <wo Ming Tang party, which is the
dominating political party, would remove
Yuan Shi Kai by parliamentary means Or
force but neither is possible while the
President controls the army at Pekng.
The adherents of the I<wo Ming Tang
party do not desire to withdraw to Nan
king for the purpose of establishing a
parliament there because such action
would result in disruption between the
north and south.
The deadlock at preseit is complete.
Members of the Kwo Ming Tang express
the fear that some of the powers repre-
sented in the loan-Great Britain, France,
Germany, Russia and Japan-now that
the loan is concluded with Yuan Shi Kai,
may strengthen his hands by recogniz-
ing the republic at an early date. In
this connection an interesting question
arises as to whether the United States
will anticipate these powers, In spite OF
the fact that the house of representa-
tives has again failed to elect a speaker.
IT Is probable that the southern party
will seek to cancel the loan as a test of
their strength against Yuan Shi Kai.
