BANK IN NEW QUARTERS

The First National bank Wednes-
day afternoon moved to its magnifi-
cent new quarters in the Stockwell
building. The new quarters provide
the most modern banking equipment,
with marble counters and separate
steel compartments for the various
employees of the institution. AS
soon as the bank is settled in its new
location the officers will be glad to
take it's patrons through the institu-
ton and show them the many CON
yenienees which have been provided
for their benefit.

CARRIERS OBJECT

Uncle Sans local mail carriers are
Directing strenuously to the absence
of house numbers on many residences
on College hill and elsewhere which
are included in the free deligery dis
trict, and unless the owners or occu-
pants provide the numbers soon it is
not improbable that mail delivery
may be refused. The absence of the
numerals works a considerable hard
ship on the carriers and their objec-
ton Is evidently we'll taken.

SCOUTS IDEA OF
LOCAL MOVIE BOARDS
Sam Glasgow, Former Member oil
Spokane City Commission, Says
Best Plan for Censorship Is
Through National Board

Sam Glasgow, formerly a member
Of the city commission of Spokane,
who was a visitor at the luncheon of
the chamber of commerce Tuesday,
took a healthy fall out of the pro-
pcsal for a local movie censorship
board and related his experiences as
a memb Der Of the Spokane commission
in dealing with the movie censorship
problem. Spokane, according to Mr.
Glasgow, has a highly efficient plan
of censorship, dealing directly with
the movie managers through the ma
tional censorship review, and per
hitting the display of no pictures eX-
cept those which bear the stamp of
approval of the national board. The
managers agreed to the plan willing
ly, and the problem of Graduating
those films which were objection
able was solved. Mr.. Glasgow was
emphatic in his objections TO local
boards, and stated that Spokane
adopted the plan outlined above in
preference to the local board system
because a number of "old women,
some of whom did not wear skirts,
were clam oring for positions on the
board and would have hampered the
efforts of the more conservative
members materially. Mr.. Glasgow is
at present a member of the national
board and stated that some Of the
shows branded as impure and i'm
proper by certain people. if looked at
from the correct standpoint, are a
power for education. and do worlds
of good in lettering moral condi-
tions.
The question of local censorship
was preached by the college Y. NJ.
c. A.. upon the complaint that i'm
proper shows have been displayed
here, and just what steps will be
AIKEN by the Christian associations il
providing for censorship is not yet
decided. The chamber of com merce
went on record as favorable to the
plan for some kind of censorship, the
majority, probably, fayorlng the plan
in vogue In Spokane.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL CLASH ON
CHIEF OF POLICE APPOINTMENT

ION on the chiet of police Job, the
utmos harmony prevailed at the SEES
sion OF the now council, aud all the
other appointments of the new MAYOR
we're confirmed by unanimous vote.
In naming Clyde Myers for the office
OF city engineer, Mayor Mathews stat
Ell that his objection to Engineer Ed
wards was based on the fact that
inasmuch as Mr.. Edwards is mem
Der Of the college faculty the college
must of course get the preference
when his dual duties conflict and he
IS unable to devote his undivided at
tention to the duties OF city engineer.
Mr.. Myers has served at various
times as assistant under Mir. Edwards
and this summer, in the absence of
the city engineer served in that ca
pacity. lie has proved an efficient,
panstaking official and will give his
undivided attention to the duties as
signed him by the city administra-
ton.
During his service as city engineer.
Professor Edwards has had charge
OF Improvement work aggregating
100000 and his work has been
highly satisfactory.
In appointing c. NJ. Hooper to his
old position as street commissioner,
which, under the present city laws
includes numerous and divers other
duties, Mayor Mathews admonished
Mr.. Hooper that unless he sees
more from a police standpoint than
he has N the past" his tenure in
office will be short lived. Dr. e. T.
Patee was re-appointed health Of
iicer and George n. Henry police
Judge. The new park commission in
cludes Mrs. o. l.. Waller, Mrs. A. A.
Rounds and Mrs j. n Emerson.
The announcements made by
Mayor Mathews and his stand on all
qqestions which arose indicated
clearly that his policy will be one
for better moral conditions and he
made it very plain that those of his
appointecs who failed to do their full
duty as prescribed by city law would
be replaced by more efficient of
ficials.
The only business transacted by
the new administration was to raise
the pay of two street employees, l.. b.
Frickie and Ira Crandall, from $3.50
to $2.75 per day. A motion to in
crease the pay of Frank Winters, city
teamster, from $50 to 500 per
month failed of passage.

MUST CITY PAY
ON MAYORS WORD?
Sin Hundred Dollars Bill from Pink
erton's Agency Shock tn CITY
CuunCil--Mayor Jackson En-
plOyed Detectives to Catch
Thieves

Must the city of Pullman make
payment on a bill contracted by
Mayor Harley Jackson without the
sanction of and unknown to the city
council? The civil courts may be
called upon to answer this question
as a result of the refusal of the old
city council, just before adjourning
sine die Tuesday evening, to take
cognizance of a bill for $500 for de-
tectiVe services presented by the Spo-
Kane branch of the Pinkerton detect
i've agency through Superintendent
Riley of the agency. The bill is for
services rendered by pinkerton's men
about year ago, following numerous
cases of burglary in the downtown
district, and, according to Superin-
tendent Riley, the services of the
agency were employed by Mayor
Jackson, who is alleged to have rep
resented to the detectives that the
council would make full payment for
services rendered
superintendent Riley appeared In
person before the council Tuesday
evening aud read detailed report
concerning the efforts of the agency
to collect the 5000. He stated that
on numerous occasions he had writ
ten Mayor Jackson in regard to the
bill, but had received no reply. On
other occasions he had called the eX-
ecutiye on the phone and in each case
Jackson had stated that the money
would be forthcoming very shortly.
After nearly year of this pickering
he presented the bill to the council
direct, and the result was severe
shock to the city dads, who refused
to take any action concerning the
bill.
On one previous occasion the bin
had been sent to the city clerk for
collection, but when ii appeared in
the council chambers for action it is
alleged that Mayor Jackson took it,
stating that the county would pay the
bill and that the city had nothing
to do with ii. Just why Mayor Jack
son took il upon himself to contract
the account without the sanction Of
III" council and why he failed to &C
quaint the council with the true facts
in the ease after it had been con
tracted is som ewhat of q mystery.
but under the circumstances the
councilmen felt that they were en-
tirely justified in disclaiming any in
teiest in the matter.
According to the Pinkerton super
intendent the activities of the detect
ives resulted in the arrest of Donald
I.aney and Tom Mckenzie, two Pull
man youths, and their commitment
to the training school. after a num-
Der of business establishments had
been burglarized. Since the commit
ment of the Two boys tie burglaries
have cease and the Pinkerton men
clam to have broken up the gang"

Chiffon Wins SHARK
AT CLUB RAFFLE
Queer Animal Presented to Owner
at Novel Dinner.

Out at the Arts Club. at 2ols street
northwest they're not allowed to
have pets OF any kind on the
premises. So when they found a real
live shark walking around the club
rooms the other day. without a visi-
bic owner. they decided that a raf-
file was the only solution OF the prob
lem OF who should take possession
Of the animal and remove IL from
the club.
The raffle was held at a special
"snark dinner" held last evening at
o'clock in the club gardens ABORT
twenty members OF the club attend
ed and drew for possession of the
unknown" W. Chiffon was the
lucky man and the shark was pre-
sented to him. II was a queer
looking creature. with a watermelon
body. a cantaloupe head, carrot eyes,
legs and ears, and parsley whikors.
On it's back was a card with a line
from the poem of description Of the
animal:
He goes around and sits on folks
What eats too much at nights"
Miss Clara Hill. noted Washington
sculptress, was creator OF the shark.
G. J. Zolney was master Of ceremon-
les for the evening.

SUPREME COURT JUDGE
IS GOOD AUCTIONEER

For a few minutes Friday, Justice
Hitz, of the District Supreme Court,
assumed the role of an auctioneer
and received an advance Of $4,000 over
a bid submitted for approval for the
purchase of the southeast corner of
Eleventh and F streets northwest.
The successful bidder was John P.
Story, said to represent a Boston
concern, and the price for which the
property was sold was s79,3CO. The
property belonged to the estate of
Mrs. Hannah Petit. Attorneys JEFF
fords and Dutton, appearing for some
of the heirs. objected to the price
and submitted a bid from James
O'Donnell, the druggist, for $1,000.
Bidding was brisk for a few mo-
ments until Mr.. O'Donnell had offered
s7s,o5O. which was $3.50 more than
his first bid. AS the gavel of JUS
tice Hitz was about to fall for the
third time, Mr.. Story bid 1880, and
the building went to him.

Chaplain Finds Excitement
Near Bursting Boche Shells

The colonel" said the padre, told
the men to get into the cellars of some
houses just on the main street. We
had hardy got there when a big one
burst just outside the barn where we
had been. Then, curiously. they
stopped. II was no use trying to
carry on. so the men were dismissed.

on my bike once more and rode
over to the Blankth General Hospital.
about fifteen miles.
"I took the service after lunch,
and this time just managed to finish
my sermon when three Boche planes
began bombing us. A beastly ex-
perience. Two bombs fell right IN
the ward and wounded again four al
ready wounded men and two orderlies.
II was a miracle no one was killed.
They set two tents on fire, and we had
race to get the men out in time.
Father Bennett was there, too. apd
he worked splendidly. / don't like
bombs and never shall. They dropped
ten. and then were chased off by
some of ours. who came over from our
nearest hangers. One OF the Boches
