lht olSt Ol JhiS HIdl hS tIt 'lO9' of the first year of the library un. der the management of the Civic club. hence the librarians report for that month will properly include a brief summary of what has been ac- complished during this time.
 First as to finances. A year ago not only was there no money on hand for the years expenses includ- ing many necessary repairs and i'm prOvements. but there was an in icbtedness of $4361O to be faced The Civic club met the issue brave ly, however, and started out to raise the money Subscriptions sc cured netted S1.591 The dance usually given by the Commercial club at the close of the Panama Valley fair was turned over to the brary board and given by them as harvest ball for the benefit of the library Rental of the library to St. Matthew's church for two lays during their annual fair brought iu $53 and later in the year the li- brary was given the proceeds of d picture show. All in all S2.041 has been raised during the year, and with this all indebtedness has been paid. current expenses have been net. many improvements made. and the snug sum of $192 is now in the bank to be expended in the purchase of new books and as a nucleus for the incoming library board Expenditures and receipts are given in detail in the yearly report of the treasurer, which also appears in this issue.
 These are merely the bare facts They give no hint of the immense Hmoun, of work involved nor of the lavish expenditure of time and effort devoted to all phases of the library project by the Civic club in general, and he library board in particular, and especially to the rnt ring efforts of the first chair man. Mrs. L. (. Hess, who, with Mrs L. R Gillette and Mrs Sam uCl Sea. have worked in season and out of season not only to SC cure the necessary funds, but to so eXpend them as to obtain the rest possible results.
 Next as to what has been accom- plished in the library itself. year ago much wolk was needed on the building. The furnace and basement were sadly out of repair, the floor needed painting, the entire building vas very dirty, the book stacks were open to the public at all times. with the inevitable result that many books had disappeared, and there Was no available place for the hun lrcds of bound volumes and pam phlets that had long been accumu- latng
 As a first step the library was closed from the last of July until September 20. During this time the necessary repairs in the basement and furnace were made, wire screen ing was installed between the read ing room and the book stacks. all books on hand were checked up, and several hundred new books cata- logued The building was also chinked and thoroughly cleaned, ad ditional electric light bulbs and cords were purchased and two new tables were made for the reading room. Two smaller tables were presented to the library cushions were made for the settee and large chairs and

. ing of the club.
 The number of books drawn dur
 ing the year is a good index Of the way in which the library privileges have been appreciated. During July . 1Ss works of fiction were drawn. Is 1 in history 1 in literature, 6 in sci ence. 2 in sociology-21S in all-17a i on adult cards and 39 on junior cards. For the ten and one-third months during which the library i has been open since last September ! PACT books Of fiction have been drawn, 342 in history. 12S in litera. ture. 33 in science, 2S in sociology
 Ii in religion and in art-3,014 in all-of which 2561 have been drawn by adults and 453 by children The largest number of books drawn on
 any one day was 35, on the 8th of May. This was also the banner month, with 340 books to it's credit. During the year large box of duplicate books has been sent to the creeks and another to Mrs. Love for use at Nenana. Includ-
 ing duplicates, 4,595 books have now been added to the library. in cludng a large number of authentic books on the European war, and others are coming in by every boat, sent mainly by friends of St. Mat thew's church.
 At the earnest solicitation of Rev. MT. Lulnpkin, custodian of the li- brary, the Civic club has voted to retain it's management for another year, and so generous has been the response to their efforts during the past by the business men and towns people of Fairbanks generally that the club, as well as the library board feels sure that the same warm CO., operation will be given in the future and that the coming year will prove even more successful than has the past. We deem ourselves for tunate in having been able to se- cure the services of Mrs. R. s. Me Donald as librarian for the year, and also in being able to retain the same capable janitor, Daniel Der
 ger Mrs Mcdonald has had office and clerical training in large pub llshing house, and is familiarizing herself with her new duties under the direction of the present librari- an. so that when she assumes charge of the work on August 21 the pub lie may be assured that there will be no break in the service.

MRS. BELMONT AT
WAR over A SONG
Break With Marie DressIer
Sequel to Benefit Of Suffra-

NEW YORK. March 5.-Diplomatic re-
lations between Mrs. oliver II. p. Bel
mont and Miss Marie Dressler late star
Of melinda and Her Sisters" the comic
opera OF which Mrs. Belmont admits the
authorship. have been abruptly severed.
The break between the erstwhile asso-
ciates in art came when munitions Of
war were hastily moved to the front
and the rattle of feminine musketry
began.
Now Mrs. Belmont has set her
lawyer on Marie, and Miss Dressler has
spurned the gift with which the society
leader recompensed the burlesque art
lists services for charity" But crown
ing insult of all-Miss Dressler has be-
slowed upon Mrs. Belmont . second

Dressler gave a screaming satire on the
Faun. It was the hit OF the piece. and
is the center and circumference Of the
quarrel.
Claims the Song.
Miss Dressler claims the song as
her property. Mrs. Belmont insists II
is a part OF Melinda" and belongs to
her. Miss Dressler holds the score. and
Mrs. Belmont's lawyers hourly over the
telephone demand its return.
The story of the ARRAY dates back
six weeks before the performances on

Belmont and composed by Elsa Max

Birth Of Disputed Air.
The Russian ballet song was intro
duced when Miss Mexwell discovered n
similarity between Miss Dressler's chief
song and one now being used by an
other well-known performer. Miss
Dfessler in her own drawing room
worked up with Miss Maxwell the idea
OF a satire on THE Faun." and, sitting
down to the plano. suggested the re-
Train. Miss Maxwell wrote the score
and Miss Dressler then and there laid
claim to the song-a claim in which, she
said, Miss Maxwell thoroughly con-
Cured. II was agreed that Il should
not be published with the opera.
After the opera Miss DRESSER, with

the company enjoyed, gathered up her

LEADERS ADMIT FAILURE
OF GENERAL" STRIKE

New York, Oct. 2-Tacit admis-
sion of the failure of the general
sympathetic strike in New York In
behalf of the striking street carmen
was made in report late to-day to
a conference of labor leaders, which
discussed the general situation. The
leaders recommend that every un-
ion member in the city be assessed

waited and surface car employees, who
are on strike in Manhattan, the Bronx
and parts of Westchester county.
No decision as to further efforts
to call out all unionists in sympa-
thy with the strikers was taken and
there was no formal admission that
the strike plan had collapsed.
Police headquarters announced
that a canvass made by policemen
showed that only 40S men had re-
sponded to the call for general
strike.
More than 100000 members of the
United Hebrew trades returned 10
work after their three-day holiday,
as did 300 brewery workers.

RECENT TERN OF CIRCUIT
COURT \ BUSY ONE-MORE
JURY TRIALS HEARD. .

Hon. r. w. Slack adjourned the
Ohio Circuit Court on last Saturday
for the term. During this term an
unusual large amount of business
was transacted. More jury trials
were had before the court without
the Intervention of a jury than at any
other term. in the history of the
court.
During the term Judge Slack was
designated as Special Judge by the
Governor to try an election con-
test in Knox county, Kentucky. This
case was an important one, and one
in which the Governor had had con-
siderable trouble in securing a Judge
to preside. The Court of Appeals
on the 3rd inst. affirmed the judg-
ment rendered by Judge Slack.
During the term of court Judge
Slack also acted as arbitrator in
settling a controversy between the
coal operators and the miners
settled a strike or controversy which
had been existing between the oper-
ators and miners for several months.
