NIGHT SCHOOL FOR
DIFFERENTIATION
Examiner Griffins Suggests That
Commercial Club Start Citi.
zen School.

The United States department OF
labor is very much concerned in E7s'
marck's foreign population. 1t fears
that our alien residents are not being
Americanized with sufficient rapidity
and it is urging that the Commercial
club undertake to conduct for these
people a night school, which will
serve to remove from their mlnos
any impression which may now ex
ist as to grape juice being our ma
tional beverage and the dove our ma
tional bird.
Thomas S. Griffing, naturalization
examiner, with headquarters at ST
Paul, has paid Bismarck NUMBER
of visits, and he has statistics ,to
prove that the naturalization applIca'
tions presented in our courts are not
in proper ratio with the number OF
foreign.born residents. He therefore
feels that the. club should at once
enter into the. night school projec,
which has. been taken up by various
other organizations throughout the
state. t E.,a r., "f:s. &>F .-.l
TO conduct such school, the CO
operation Of the board, or education
woilad Ibtf essential as Dae. of. the pub
lie school buildings, preferably the
Will school, would be necessary for
the sessions No inconsiderable ex
pense would be involved, and the cluu
has to date been unable to find SUI
ficient demand for such an institu
tion.
Bismarck has a smaller percentage
of foreign population than any other
large city in the state. Unless a,
least 20 regular students could be en-
rolled, the night school project would
be a failure. II 20 students were
found in Bismarck, they doubtless
would represent half-dozen differ
ent nationalities, and any teacher
speaking but one or two tongues
"would have Ills work cut out fol
him."
Through the intercession of the
Commercial club, the board of educa
tion of Devils Lake has opened q
night school for foreigners. The ma.
ter is now under consideration Al
jamestown and Fargo. If the Com
mercial club finds there IS any car
for a night school in Bismarck it will
gladly undertake to meet the ce
mand. 1t is, therefore, anxious to
hear from anyone who may be inter
ested in characterization"

TANGO IN TENDERLOTN
TURNS TO TUMULT
Police Invasion Met by Fierce
Resistance, but Ultimate
Surrender

A lack OF ammunition forced the capitu-
lation to the police today OF four oppos-
ing forces that had united to resist a
bluecoat invasion In the Tenderloin. Ply
sicians at the Hahnemann Hospital se-
cured the following as the names of the
combatants: Jennie Murphy and Margaret
Wilson, $40 North 11th street; Thomas
Murphy, ais opal street. and William
Carr, 12l7 Patton street. The victorious
blueeoats were slook, Loughrey and
Hayes, of the 10th and Buttonwod streets
station.
A tango tea was in progress at the 11th
street house prior to the outbreak of
hostilities. Peace lowered over the scene
Everybody was happy, until suddenly an
argument started as to the correct
method of executing the dance. The fire
of discord spread. Eight seconds later,
without even the exchange of single
note. the battle started.
China, bric-a-brac, pottery, tin pans,
books, vases, picture frames, household
utensils and other articles filled the air,
along with the hoarse shouts of the bel
bgerents. The fight continued without
cessation until a plate slid through
pane OF glass aud whizzed under the nose
of pedestrian, who notified the police.
Slook, Loughrey and Hayes responded.
They forced the outer line of defenses
represented by the door. but found it
necessary. to intrench behind chairs at
the bottom of the stairs for some time
Finally they noticed that the enemy was
running out of ammunition and charged.
When they were halfway to the parapets
at the top of the stairs Jennie and Mar
garet and Thomas and William surren-
dered. They will have a hearing in the
morning.
