MAN NEED GREAT

BYFUNDOFFICER
Beckwith, Home From
Conference, Tells of AS
sociation's Needs

H. p. Beckwith has just returned
from a meeting OF the treaaurers
handling the financial end Of the Y.
M. G. A war work held in Chicago
April Is. Mr.. Beckwith reports a
very interesting meeting. One of
the matters brought to the attention
OF the meeting was the fact Of the
great need for men, both at home
and abroad. as secretaries, chauf-
feurs, mechanics and clerks. The
need is estimated at 1000 men per
month, beginning with April /, Of
which 500 will be used at home in
the cantonments, etc, and 1000
overseas.
On April i there was employed in
American cantonments, 1908. and
overseas. 2,3s5. OF which 2s4 are
women in the canteen work. Elk
penses are kept down to the mini
mum ECONOMY Of expenditure being
the watchword) The total expense,
including the work in this country
and abroad, runs between four and
FIVE million a month. This figures
out less than 2 cents a day per man,
or 81 cents a month, which Is the
expense so far. The secretaries and
men in charge Of the camps and
cantonments both abroad and at
home, have an average monthly al
lotment Of s106.24. This includes
married and single men. the allot-
ment for married men being 800 for
their families at home. and not to
exceed SIS for the man abroad.
There is no need to elaborate on
the value and the worth Of the work
at this time, but suffice it to say
EnwawmT TDnyaUHsE~Nme he
enough of the z. M. G. a. so that he
has turned over all the canteen
work brought to the organization,
which entails more expense. but is
really a position in which the Y. NJ.
c. A. can fit in very nicely and do
a vast amount of good.
AS to the finances of North Dakota,
while not so high in amount, it
stands 100 per cent in collections,
and is ahead Of the other states in
the central division, in this respect.

ed in resolutions adopted at q mass
meeting OF the members of several
Fargo churches held In the Pontcp-
pidan Norwegian Lutheran church of
Fargo.
The governor is asked to make the
| investigation through the state
council of defense or the North Da-
kota Enforcement leage, or through
| any other agency which may be call
ed into service.
If the poolhall situation is found
as complained of. then, we respect
fully request that the Home Coun-
Gil Of Defense take steps to close the
pool and billiard halls in the state
of North Dakota during the present
war and during the reconstruction
period that viii follow" relate the
resolutions.
Rev. @. w. FinwaIl OF the North
Dakota Enforcement league, was one
of the speakers. The resolutions
We're forwarded to the governor by
Rev. Edward Berntsen, pastor of
the Pontoppidan Lutheran church and
cite that there are more than 500
non productive institutions called
pool and billiard halls in the state.
manned BY more than 1000 able
bodied men having an average week
ly income Of $4,000 paid by men
and young men,"
The resolutions further claim that
these 500 and more poolhalls, esti-
mating So to every poolhall every
day. opens the way for n 900 men to
petty gambling and to waste of time
and money every week day, from one
hour to all day long. 1t is claimed
that the poolhalls show almost "uni-
versal disregard for the law prohib-
iting profanity in public places and
makes this institution I'm addition to

factor to society and a constant
temptation and an undermining fac

ACCEPT RESIGNATION
OF PACIFTST BISHOP
resolutions by Which Resignation of
Bishop Jones of Utah, Was
Accepted, Reach Fargo.

The resolutions by which the
House Of Bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church accepted the resig-
nation Of Bishop Paul Jones Of Utah,
whose alleged pacifist utterances
several months ago were investigated
by a committee Of the House have
been sent to Dean II. #, Kloman of
Gethsemane cathedral Of Fargo,
by Bishop john Poyntz Tyler of
North Dakota who attended the
session in New York city. The res
olutionE were read to the congre-
cation Of Gethsemane cathedral in
Fargo last Sunday by Dean Kloman
at the written request OF Bishop
John Poyntz Tyler. and are as fol-
lows:
First, the House OF bishops de-
clares its belief that the government
OF the United States has obeyed the
law OF moral necessity in seeking to
stop a war OF deliberate aggression
BY the only means that are known
to be effective to such an end.
Second, the House Of Bishops be-
lieves that any member OF this
house is entitled to the same free
dor Of opinion and speech as any
other citizen Of the United States,
but in the exercise Of this liberty he
should be guided by deep sense
Of the responsibility which rests up
on one who occupies a representa-
tive position.
Third, the House of Bishops is
unwilling to accept the resignati ton
Of any bishop In Difference TO an
excited state of public opinion and
therefore declines to adopt the re-
port Of the special commission or
to accept the resignation Of the
bishop Of Utah for the reasons as
signed by him in his letter OF De-
cember 20.
With full recognition of the right
OF every member Of this House to
freedom or speech I'm political and
social matters, subject to the law OF
the land, nevertheless, in view of
Bishop Jones' impaired usefulness in
Utah under present conditions, recog-
nized by himself, the House Of Bish-
ops. accepts the resignation OF the
bishop Of Utah as now presented"

E. Macrenariis Shipbuilding Corporation
Launch S3-ft. Schooner This Afternoon
One of the Largest Craft Ever Launched in the An
clote River; VIII Take Crest of High
Tide to Get Her Out

That Tarpon Springs can and does
build ships was demonstrated this af-
iternoon when the E, Macrenaris Ship
building corporation launched an So
foot schooner which, when measured
for tonnage displacement, will likely
be much over 100 tons.
Everything went smoothly as the
ship slid into the Anclote river.
This is a pretty large schooner and
her seven-foot draft will make it
necessary to list her on one side to get
the vessel out to the open gulf.
This is the first large boat launched
since the E. Macrenaris Shipbuilding
corporation was formed a few months
ago, but she is only forerunner of
of the many which the officers of the
company expect to build.
That Tarpon Springs has all the fa-
cilities for shipbuilding is well known
and the fact that a government dredge
is now at work deepening the river
gives rise to hopes that our city will
become a great center for shipbuild-
ing.

Clever Entertainers at Royal Last Mite
Janet & Geraldine Stumpf True Artists
Entertain Packed House With Their Dainty Dancng They
Furnished the Surprise of the Season; Will Appear
in New Series Of interpretations Saturday Night

49, f.
Those fortunate enough to be at the
Royal theatre last highland there
was a packed house enjoyed an ar
tistic treat in the graceful dancing of
Janet and Geraldine Stumpf.
The first was a stately minaet in
dainty Colonial costume, and was done
with all the precision and charm of
bygone days.
After singing some popular songs
they again appeared in Geisha cos
tunes and did the Japanese dance of
Toxic Gardens. This appeared to be
difficult little dance and was beau
tifully done.
Miss Janet then appeared as pre-
mier danseuse in rose color, doing the
truly difficult ballet steps with ease
and grace that shows perfect training
and natural talent for the art of dane
ing.
Miss Geraldine, in white ballet
skirts, did the doll dance delightfully."-
Ga bit from the Tales of Hoffman). 1t
is to be hoped the audience appreciat-
ed the difficulty of this little dance
which was so successfully given.
The Oriental dance in Turkish cos
tune by Miss Janet was harmony Of
color and action and she seemed to en-
ter into the spirit of the character of
the dance thoroughly.
The last appearance of the two little
sisters was in pretty little bit of
pantomime dancing which was very
winning. In fact the harmony of
movement throughout their duet work
was decidedly noticeable.
We predict victorious career for
these two young beginners in one Of
the most beautiful arts which has
come down to as through the ages, the
