LAMBERT MURPHY
SCORES SUCCESS
NOTED TENOR MAKES HIT WITH
BIG MOSCOW AUDIENCE IN
A FINE PROGRAM

More than 800 persons heard Lam
bert Murphy, the great tenor, render
one of the most delightful musica
programs ever heard in the Inlanc
Empire Wednesday night at the Uni
versity of Idaho auditorium. And il
is safe to say that not one of the
more than 800 regretted having at
tended
The opening of the program was
delayed in order to let those who
wished to attend the tabernacle
meetings reach the auditorium. The
tabernacle closed at 500 and most of
the ministers with their wives and
families attended the musical. Rev.
DR.. Bulgin, the evangelist; Chester F..
Harris, the pianist, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert. Lewis, the singers of the
evangelistic party, had chairs in the
very front, close to the stage. Those
in the audience who could watch the
party are certain they enjoyed every
bit Of the splendid program, for they
were liberal with their applause.
Mr.. Murphy has one of the best
trained voices ever heard here, with
a wonderful range and power. His
was well selected and per
fectely rendered. He was forced to
respond to curtain calls after each
number of the program, and when the
long program was ended he returned
again in response to insistent calls,
and gave another very delightful rem
dition.
But Mr.. Murphy is not the entire
program. Credit must be given to
his accompanist, Edgar G. Courson,
who, for many years, was organist for
The First Presbyterian church at
Portland, and whose work on the
piano has seldom, if ever, been ex-
,elled here. Taken as whole the
was as nearly perfect as it
could be and the first of the great
musical features that have been Sc
cured for the people of Moscow was
yoted a success beyond the fondest
hopes of those who had arranged it.
There were nubmer of out of town
people present, despite the bad roads
hat kept many from coming by auto
mobile.
Professor E. O. Bangs and other
members of the university faculty
Who assisted in arranging the fine
,rogram deserve special credit for the |
satisfactory work done. There are
wo more numbers on the program,

hey will probably receive even better |
'atronage than did the first of the

BENEWAH COUNTY
MAN WAS MURDERED
BODY, WEIGHTED WITH STONES,
FOUND BESIDE ST. MARIES
RIVER

Evidence of foul murder, probably
comltted two years ago, was uncoy-
cred at ST. Maries, Idaho, late Tues
day when herdsmen found the body of
an unknown man whose throat had
been cut from ear to ear and his body
weighted down with two heavy stones.
Apparently the slayer attempted to
cover his crime by sinking the body
in the St. Maries river, near which
the corpse was discovered.
Officials of the Idaho city believe
the murdered man was a rancher
from the vicinity of Fernwood, who
mysteriously disappeared with $500
of $500 in money two years ago. The
rancher's name was said to be Morris.
His wife, who has been working near
Fernwood, has been summoned to
identify the body.
A WATCH a few dollars in money
and two compasses, such as are used
by timber cruisers, were found on
the body, which was in bad state of
decomposition. The dead mans hat
was tied to his clothes, presumably
to prevent it from rising to the sur
face and betraying the murder. One
stone was tied about the neck, and the
other about the waist. The deceased
was well dressed.
The theory advanced is that the
victim was killed for his money. The
weights were then tied about his
body, and he was thrown into the
river The spring floods probably car
ried the body upon the flats, some
200 or 800 feet from the bed of the
river, where it was found Tuesday.

John Pellus and Peter Pulos,
Greeks, arrested at Onaway, near Pot
latch, for maintaining a nuisance,
pleaded guilty in district court to the
charges and were fined $10O and
costs, which they paid. The men
were arrested on charges of boot
logging, but this could not be proved
against them. They had some liquor
in their possession and neighburs
complained that they were disturbing
the neighborhood by their actions.

: PLAN RURAL WELFARE
Red Cross Specialist Studying
Southern Rural Districts.

"What will you do if we have an
other epidemic Of the flu?"
This is the question that is being
answered daily by DIR. E. L, Morgan,
national director of the Red Cross
Bureau of Organization, in the Gulf
Division. From community to COM
munity, DR.. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was
before the Home Service Institute at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he said
that the question Of preparation for
epidemics is of paramount impor-
lance.
eff a district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because Of
impure water" said DR.. Morgan,
treat the case as though you were
acting for family. Consult the
public health officials, and the sani-
tary and legal forces, and get the
community back Of you to carry out
the necessary reforms"
DR.. Morgan's tour is principally in
the interests Of the rural community
the community which is getting
such a Large share of attention in
the Red Cross Peace Time Program.
The Home Service sections of the
Red Gross are to have a great uart
in this work and it is expected that
public health will be improved to a
great extent through their co-opera-
ton with Red Cross public health
nurses.
Look eround your own town."
DR.. Morgan told the Red Cross work
ers, land see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirty and unsani-
tary. If the death rate is too high.
there is a reaSon--and you must
find out that reason. All Of the
people are stockholders in the COM
munity, and their stock improves or
depreciates according to the condi-
ton in which their property is kept,
and the property improves in proper
ton with the person who owns it.
"The Red Cross has a two-fold job
in this respect" DR.. Morgan contin-
ued. 1--WE must carry ON the work
the individual chapter has decided
upon, such as employing health
nurses, getting better schools, and
supplying the needs of the commun-
ity; secondly, we must carry on a
campaign of education to give the
people the knowledge tAat will make
them desire the greater things Of
life"
1--WE are going to do for the coun-
try what is being done for the city.
Living conditions in the two eplaces
must be made equally pleasant and
healthful."

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro.
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be APP
pointed in Many Com
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re-
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed.
it means that you are considered
brave, considerable, eveu-sempered
and strong. To be appointed to thi
committee Is one Of the highest
honors that the American Red Cross
can bestow upon you; for the Dis
asteR Relief Committee, recently ex-
planned by Harry L. Hopkins, director
of Civilian Relief, Gulf Division,
American Red Cross, is the great
body of STRENGTHENING, quick-act-
ing, dependable persons, organized in
each community to meet disasters
which arise, be they flood, fire, fam.
inc. explosion, shipwreck, or earth
quake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganized in 1881, it has participated
in 1870 disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure Of twelve
and half million dollars. This GOV.
ers the period up to June LIST, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disas
tiers a year. Latest statistics COM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Cross, show twelve disasters, and
the Red Cross gave relief in every
one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood in 1914. There was another
flood at Natchez in 1916, and more
floods and the boil weevil menace in
Alabama in 1917. In fact, 1917 was
a bad year for disasters in the South,
for during the summer the tornadoes
at Village Springs and Carbon Hill
and New Hope, Alabama, brought
about much suffering. Everybody in
this vicinity remembers the Lake
Charles, Louisiana, storm in 1918, 10
which the Gulf Division Red Gross
furnished such great aid, and at
which time Harry L. Hopkins, direc-
tor of civilian relief, went to Lake
Charles and directed the erection Of
the tent city. A total of $23, 900 was
expended in this disaster alone. And
in 1919 the Corpus Christi. Texas,
storm was robbed Of much Of its hor.
ror through the prompt action Of the
Red Cross, !.
OF these ten disasters in the Gull
Division in recent years, the Red
Cross has given supplies and spent
money to the extent Of approximately
100000.

RED CROSS NEEDED.
Gives More Aid Than Ever to Ssrv'
ice Men's Families.

Gives More Aid Than Ever to Serv.
ice Mems Families.
More than double the amount Of
money normally spent per month
for the relief Of families of service
men was spent during the month Of
August by the Gulf Division Of the
American Red Cross, according to Q
statement made Saturday by Harry
L. Hopkins, director Of Cicilian Re-
lief. Up to August, 1919, total
Of $114,624.76 had been spent fol-
this work in Alabama. Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August $12.
264.25 was spent for the same pur-
pose in these states.
"This makes total" said Mr. Hop
kins, "of $126,SS9.1O expended foi
the relief of families of soldiers in
the Gulf Division, of which sum .
tenth was spent during the month OF
August. Inc reason for this 10 pri-
marily the fact that most able-bodied
soldiers are discharged By this time
and are fully able to take care OF
their families themselves. Hhose who
remain are to a large degree those
who are still in the hospitals and
who can do nothing for the persons
dependent upon them.
"A very significant feature Of this
report is the striking manner in
which it emphasizes the need for the
continuation Of the Red Gross work
even in times Of peace. Obviously, II
we are spending more for the relief
Of soldiers, families in August--near-
ly year after the ending of the war
than we were during the war it
self. our work Is far from finished.
Incidentally, this Home Service
work IL only one branch Of the tre-
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out for
itself. The other departments are
fully as important to the welfare OF
every community in the Gulf States.
It is for this reason that the Red
Cross is holding a third annual roll
call this year, November 2 to II.
"By the way, it may interest your
readers to know that the Gulf Divi-
sion, which includes Alabama, Louis
lana and Mississippi, Is the only divi-
sion in the entire country in which a
Home Service has been established
for every single chapter. There are
1,271 Home Service workers in the
division, and they gave aid and infor-
nation to 1892 families during Au-
gust Of this year, which makes the
total of families these workers have
helped up to date, 1876
"Of the $12,264.25 distributed dur
ing August in extending relief to the
families Of soldiers and sailors in this
division, $4,110.92 was distributed in
Alabama, $5,6S4.5S in L0uisiana,
end $2,46S.75 in Mississippi.

RED CROSS SERVING DIscHARc-
ED SOLDIERS IN MANY WAYS.

"Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid fort"
"No."
Neither did I. wonder when
Unele Sam is coming through with
it,"
This conversation or one like it, is
taking place these days between hun
dreds of "pals" in the service, or
just discharged from it. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds for
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth is to
inform a representative Of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against.
The soldier must give the represen-
tative all the information he can
and leave the rest to the association,
which viii take up the matter and
see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail.
The method il this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery Of his
bond to the Red Cross representa-
tive, who obtains it from the bond
section Of the zone finance office and
delivers it to the owner.
This Is one of the many services Of
this great organization which is soon
to conduct a third rell call to gain
money and members to keep up its
work permanently.
