The Cemetery association will hold
their annual rummage sale Oh Friday
and Saturday, Oct. 16 and IT. To
those donating for sale, let this be
impressed upon your minds--the first
day is by far the best to make money
for cemetery funds. People who are
willing to pay reasonable prices are
on hand that day, some arriving as
early as 8 o'clock in the morning.
Second day is now called bargain
day, as we must then sell at any
price, or pack up to give away to the
needy in the winter as we have no
place to properly care for goods left
over. So please send in all articles
so the committee can mark same on
Thursday evening. Where articles
are to be sent for, please notify any
one of following committee: Mrs.
May Sykes, chairman, Mrs. T. F..
Orion, Mrs. Herbert Morgans, Mrs.
Fred Basford, Mrs. Andrew Lewis,
Mrs. Jessie Mccoy, Mrs. w. B.
Carter, Mrs. John Stone, Mrs. Geo.
Marks, Miss Magnetic Rogers, Miss
Kate eastman, Miss Minnie Griffiths.
Baking of all kinds will be gladly
received, and if so notified, the COM
mittee will provide a proper place
for sale of same. All money gather
ed is used TO beautify the Hillside
cemetery and keep same in good re-
pair.-Mrs. r. B. Showalter, Presi
dent, of Association.

The "war tax bill" now under
discussion by Congress proposes to
tax auto owners 25c per horse power
and manufacturers 81 per horse power
on sales. 1t is estimated that this
will yield an annual revenue of SIG, :
100000. An owner of a 30-h. p.
ear would thus pay $3.50 year and
the manufacturer selling such
machine would pay $50, and of
course add it to the price of the car.

FOUR POLICEMEN
Up ON CHARGES;
ONE DISMISSED
Patrolman McGoVern Loses Po-
sition on Two Charges-Other
Cases Settled.

-Four patrolmen charged with Of
. fences against the rules of the de-
partment were arraigned before the
Board of Police Commissioners at
its meeting yesterday. Patrolman
John 3. McGovern, of the Seventh
precinct, was dismissed from the
force on charges of intoxication and
neglect of duty. McGovern has been
before the board on several occasions
on charges Of similar offences. He
was accused of having left his post
at a polling place at 521 South Orange
avenue, December 1, at S:45 a. M,
and failing to return until three
hours later McGovern was on duty
during the special election. On his
return to the polling place, McGov-
eTn was intoxicated, in the opinion of
Sergeant John Kellet and Captain
Thomas ]. CORDIALLY, Of the Seventh
precinct, who suspended him. Nc
Govern pleaded guilty yesterday to
neglecting duty, but denied that he
was intoxicated.
Patrolman George Feldman was
before the board on charges that he
solicited money for a war relief fund
while in uniform. Feldman was sus-
pended last Tuesday by Captain
Vogel, Of the Fourth precinct. He
brought witnesses to testify to the
nature Of the benefit fund, which Is
to be used in relief work among wild
ows and orphans in Russia. The fund
is being collected by the Progressive
semiatitzer Association, with head
quarters at 105 Prince street.
= After hearing the evidence, the po-
lice commissioners were satisfied that
Feldman's intentions were good, but
reprimanded him for soliciting funds
in uniform without permission from
the board. He was reinstated with
loss of pay during the time of his
suspension.
After hearing evidence of more
than a dozen witnesses the board
quickly dismissed charges of an un-
justified assault against Patrolman
Arthur w. Collins. of the First pre-
cinct, made by Abraham Hirschf1eld,
Of 487 Warren street, Collins was
passing Central avenue and South
Seventh street on November 27 in
plain clothes, when Hirschfleld was
said to be quarreling with Arthur
Walters, of 40 Belmont avenue.
Hirschfields nine-year-old son Isa-
dore had thrown a piece of barbed
wire at Walters and nearly struck
him in the head. Walters wished to
have the boy arrested, and Collins
'interfered" to place the boy under
arrest Hirschfield attempted to pre-
vent his sons arrest, according to
Collins, and was taken to the station
house.
David Ian, Of 4S6 Warren street.
who, it is said also interfered with
Collins, was placed under arrest. At
the station house Walters declined
TO press a complaint against the
Hirschfield boy and asked that he be
let go with reprimand. Ian was
held on a charge of resisting a po-
liceman and was next day fined $40
by Judge Herr In the Second Precinct
Court.
The board decided that Collins had
used no more force than was neces-
sary to place the three under arrest,
and exonerated him of the charges.
The trial of charges of immortality
against Patrolman James Athorne. of
the Fourth precinct, was postponed
until a week from today at request
Of Athorne's counsel.

has gone far and wide. I learned Of
it through the religious papers when

earned diplomas.
Mrs Menninger is a pioneer in
Bible class study. The stream that
arose in her efforts and success has
flowed on and out until she has many
imitators throughout the church, who
hearing her at the Winona assem- blies,
have gone home and organized similar
classes in their own individual COM
