JULY 4 CELEBRATION
BY CITY IS Sought
Chamber Of Commerce Directors
Vote in Favor Of Plan

The board Of finance and taxation
will be asked at it's meeting next
spring when the public amusement
commission presents it's budget to
favor an appropriation for a Fourth
| of July celebration and for eight
| band concerts to be given during the
summer months. This action was de-
! termined on at the regular meeting
| of the directors of the Chamber of
| Commerce held yesterday afternoon,
| following the final report Of the COM
! mittee which conducted the celebra-
! ton last year. The sum to be asked
| for is $1,000 and with this the cham
| Der can avoid the trouble of going
| about the city asking for popular
! subscriptions, as has been the course
pursued for several years. If the
| board of finance and taxation deems
| it advisable to act favorably on the
recommendation Of the directors, the
celebration will become strictly a
municipal affair as is conducted in
other cities. The committee Of the
chamber will lend it's assistance in
aiding the public amusements COM
mission in handling the affair."
AS has been the custom since the
inauguration of the plan, the public
amusements commission has taken
care Of the celebration, consisting Of
athletic sports adm band concerts,
while the Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee has had the fireworks display
and concert in charge.
Annual Dinner in January.
The coslmittee in charge of the an
nual dinner reported to the directors
favoring holding the event, and it was
authorized by the directors that the
committee be empowered to go ahead
for the event in January.
The matter of having a suitable
skating pond in the city received con-
siderable attention from the directors.
The chamber received information
that about forty acres of land in STAN
ley Park could be utilized for the pur-
pose. The directors voted to recon-
mend that a sufficient sum Of money
be appropriated by the city, to cover
the expense Of flooding the land.

ARRESTED AT WHITE HOUSE.
New Yorker Wanted to Sell Vote
Counting Machine

Washington, Nov. 16.-Saul Fried
Ter Of New York was arrested at the
White House yesterday when he at
tempted to see President Wilson to
sell him a vote counting device. He
gave his address as 145 Orchard
street, New York city. Friedler called
at the White House at noon and asked
to see the president. Policemen de-
tailed at the executive mansion halted
him and inquired the nature of his
business.
I'm here from New York" he told
them, 'to sell the president a vote
counting machine. It is a nuisance to
have to wait week for election re-
turns and then have to count them
over.'
The police arrested him and sent
him to Washington asylum hospital
for investigation as to his sanity.
