GEORGE TO HEAD REPUBLIC
Will Probably Be Made Manager of
Freeville Institution.

ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE executive
committee of the Board of Trustees of
the George Junior Republic has voted to
attempt to keep that institution open. 1t
has been decided to recommend to the
board of trustees that William r. George
be placed in charge as manager. and the
committee expresses the belief that the
new management can meet the existing
debt of 5000.
Mr.. George told the executive committee
that it would be impossible to keep the
republic open under the financial condi-
tions that had prevailed in Freeville for
a few years past. but that the republic
could be run successfully. Mr.. George
also hinted that If the State Board of
Charities sought TO take over the republic
he would organize a rival institution on
grounds adjoining the republic belonging
to him.

FIRE DESTROYS POWERHOUSE
AT BRANDYWINE SPRINGS
Skating Rink at Park Also Falls
Victim to Flames.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 13.-Fire
early this morning destroyed the skating
rink owned by w. w. McCool. at Brandy
wine Springs Park, and the auxiliary
powerhouse of the Peoples Railway Com
pany. A number of houses in the suburb
known as the Cedars, were threatened. A
call was sent to Wilmington, and several
Wilmington fire companies responded, but
the rink and powerhouse were gone when
they arrived.
The skating rink has been out Of service
for some time and the powerhouse was
kept as an emergency plant. The cur
rent for the amusement park in the sum-
mer season is furnished by an electric
company in Wilmington, but the other
plant which was formerly used was kept
to be put into service in case of an
emergency. The loss on the skating rink
is estimated at $1,000. The loss on the
power plant will run close to $4,000.
The skating rink building was a por-

REV. ROBERT E. L. JARVIS
BETHANY's PASTOR RESIGNS
The Rev. DR.. r.. E. L. Jarvis Will
Join Evangelical Extension Work.

Much to the surprise of the majority
Of his congregation, the Rev. DIR. Rob-
ert r. L. Jarvis has resigned the pas
torate of Bethany Presbyterian Church.
He gives up his work to become director
of the evangelical extension department
of Stony Brook Presbyterian Assembly,
a position which will take him to all
parts of the United States.
Members of the congregation are to
meet on Wednesday night, September %,
to take action on DR.. jarvis resignation,
and to consider the selection of sue
cessor. John Wanamaker was largely
instrumental in bringing DR.. Jarvis to
Bethany, and, because of the strong at
tachment between the pastor and him
self, he said he could not cast his vote
to consider the resignation.
