ministration, to be governor Of the
Federal reserve board and Paul War
burg Of New York to be a member OF
the board
Although the president has offered
the governorship to Mr.. Olney, word of
his acceptance was being awaited today
but friends here were inclined to be-
lieve he would not decline.
Mr.. Olney was offered the ambassa-
dorship to Great Britain by President
Wilson early last year, but expressed
an unwillingness to leave the country,
on account of his business interests.
OF the president to accept this place
which the president has spoken of IS
OF equal importance to a place on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States.
Althoulg Mr. Olney is 7s years old. he
in the business world and finance which
the president and his advisers believe
would especially be adapted for the
head Of the reserve board.
Mr Warburg. who was connected
with Kuhn, Loeb & Company. has
been offered membership on the
board and has accepted. Formal an
nouncement of his selection, as well
as the other three members Of the
board besides the governor is expected
to be made within the next two or
three days, as offers are being made
to the men whom the president has
selected. 1t is understood that a
southern banker is to be one of the
three, but no fntimatiOn has come as
yet as to his identity.
Official Washington as well as
banking circles generally are await
ing the announcement of the full per-
sonnel of the federal reserve board
with intense interest, as it formally
will set in motion the new currency
law. which was signed Dec. % last.
With the selection of the twelve re-
gional reserve banks, the organization
Of the board had been the most vital
rency law. The banks. are being or
ganized and 1t is the expectation OF
officials that within another month
the entire system will be in full swing,
although there are certain transac-
tions which will occupy greater
length Of time.
The complete board will consist Of
seven members at salaries of 200 a
year. The secretary of the treasury
ex-officio members, and the five other
membeIs are to be appointed by the
president. The law stipulates that the
membels shall be appointed with refer
ence to the geographical, commercial
and financial divisions of the country.
With Mr.. Olney representing New
England and Mr.. Warburg. New YORK,
it was expected that the other men,
bers to be selected would represent the
south, the middle west and the far
west. The appointees will serve ten
years.

NO TROUBLE AT
BATTLE OF BOYNE
CELEBRATIONS

Belfast, July 13.-Insistant de-
mands Of the protestant portion Of the
province of Ulster for exclusion from
the operations of the Irish home rule
bill lent added interest to today's cele-
bration of the anniversary of Battle
of the Boyne. The celebration was
carried out with great enthusiasm.
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster
unionist leader, rode at the head of
some 5000 Orgemen accompanied by
the usual life and drum bands, in
Guiding a sprinkling of Orangemen
from the United States and British
colonies. They marched through the
city of Belfast to the beat of drums,
where a great open air meeting was
addressed by Sir Edward Carson and
other leaders. The nationalist quar-
ters of Belfast were carefully avoided
by the demonstrants and on no occas-
sion during the procession did the rival
factions come into contact.
So little did the authorities expect
trouble that they depended entirely
on the local police to keep order, but
all the military. was confined in local
barracks as is usually the case dur
ing political demonstrations, -.
A great crowd of tourists including
hundreds Of Americans had come to
see the procession and hear the
speeches which were a prelude to
resolutions calling on Ulster leaders
to take what steps they considered
necessary to prevent Ulster coming
under the authority of Dublin
parliament.

might be expected at any time.
For year or more Justice Lurton's
condition had been serious, but he in
sisted upon performing his duties un-
til last December, when he was COM
PEELED to give UP and go to Florida
with his family. At that time it was
reported he would resign, but after
fighting for health in the south until
April, he returned to Washington and
resumed his place on the bench to take
an active part in one of the busiest
sessions in the courts history. The
court adjourned June % for the sum-
mer, after disposing of a record num-
Der of cases, many Of them of great
importance, and ten days ago Justice
Lurton went to Atlantic City with his
family, hoping to gain strength in the
salt air.
Born at Newport, Campbell county,
Kentucky, Justice Lurton was attend
ing the county schools when the Civil
war began. Though only II years old.
he enlisted in the confederate army
and became a trooper under the famous
General Morgan. Three years later he
was captured and imprisoned. A per-
sonal appeal by his mother to Presi-
dent Lincoln brought about his re-
lease on parole, and when the war
closed he was studying law at Cumber-
land university. He graduated in 1867
and began practicing law in Tennessee.
After serving four years as a Ten
nessee division chancellor, he return
ed to the practice of law in 1878 and
eight years later was elected a judge
of the Tennessee supreme court, of
which he became chief justice in 1893.

Great Armory-Auditorium
Campaign Begins Tonight
The Enthusiasm Is Intense
HANSEL'S SONG
PREDICTING VICTORY,

Evidence that the enthusiasm Of
Fargo citizens does not wane
when they leave the city Is evi-
denced by the fact that Pres. J. w.
Hansel of Fargo college, on his
way east to enjoy his vacation,
actually broke forth into song to
give voice to his enthusiasm for
the Fargo Armory-Auditoriu
The song" reached Campaign
Manager J. P. Hardy at headquar-
ters this morning, together with a
letter predicting the success of the
$4,000 campaign and sending re-
CARDS to all of the workers. Here
is the song:
A THOUSAND YEARS MY OWN
COLUMBIA.
Fargo arise and view the horizon,
Fore CLEANS of victory illumine
the sky,
All stand together in cooperation
Facing the sunrise with unfiinch-
ing eye.
Chorus:
A thousand years my own Colum-
bia,a
'Tis the glad day so long foretold,
twilight
Washington saw in days Of old.
Recognize all our interdeI'endence
All stand for each and each stand
for all.
Bid selfish greed make way for
friendship,
Be quick to respond to humanity's
call
(Chorus)
This atmosphere of mutual inter
est,
Make misunderstanding disap-
pear,
Unfurls the flag of civic progress,
And ushers in a bOunteous year.

Then Fargo arise and greet your
glad morning,
Your skies are prophetic of a glor-
ious day,
Your larger conception Of coop

Spells a bigger Fargo in a thous-

anCe Of the auditorium and will de-
scribe the essential features of the
new structure. Following the talks,
those who attend the meeting will
make a thorough inspection of the
building.
The $4,000 clock, which will mark
the progress of the campaign, was
placed on the front Of the A. l.. Moody
department store this morning, after
having it's hands and face washed.
Whether it was inspired with the en-
thusiasm Of the former campaign, or
whether it acted on a hint from A. L.
Moody, it Immediately registered ST.
900. Possibly this Is a forecast of what
may be subscribed during the cam
paign, according to Campaign Man
ager Hardy.
In speaking of the construction Of
the Armory Auditorium this morning,
Mr. Hardy said, The only danger
there is of the building settling is that
it will be badly settled for If this
campaign isn't successful. The foun-
datiOn could not be stronger and the
campaign is just that certain Of being
successful. Four days OF whirlwind
work and the thing will be done" @
There Is no limit to the amount OF
enthusiasm and community spirit that
has been engendered as a result Of the
Armory- Auditorium campaign. When
the members of Co. heard of the
proposed parade and subsequent ex-
ercises, to be held at the auditorium
building tonight, they at once, to "a
man, decided that they must have a
part in the proceedings. But to their
sorrow, they recalled the fact that no
tice had been served on them to vacate
the building which they now occupy
and the further fact that tonight was
the only available time in which to put
into effect their moving operations.
But right here stepped in the spirit
Of enthusiasm, this time at the hands
Of a nonresident. The owner of the
building, c. S, Hook, learning Of their
trouble, and imbued with the spirit of
the hour, instantly sent word to them
that he would be pleased to have them
remain in the building for another
week, thus affording them an oppor-
tunity to participate in tonights par
ade and, thereby, rendering a real serv~
ice to the community.
