Expresses Approval in Open
Letter to Rector, But Calls
Attention to Present Lack
of City Funds, and to 9th
er Pastors Opposition to
the Plan.

Approval of the civic dance hall
scheme recently suggested by Rev.
Jonathan Watson is expressed in a
letter written by Mayor H. M. Wheel
er. to DR.. Watson, and made public
by the mayor today.
The mayor declares that the dance
hall project should be part of a gen.
eral plan for a community house for
the city. He points out, however, that
the city has no funds at present to
embark on any ambitious plans along
this line, and also to the opposition to
the plan recently manifested by sew
eral other clergymen of the city.
The Mayors Letter.
The mayors letter follows:
My Dear DR.. Watson:
Thanks for your open letter urging
the institution of a municipal dance
hall. ! should be very pleased to see
the city possessed of a large COM
munity building which could at the
same time afford space for our settle
ment York which Is growing too large
for it's present housing, and provide
quarters in which our young people
could meet under competent supervi-
sion for sociability and amusement.
Dancing has cen and probably al
ways will be a favorite form of recre-
alton with many, and, properly safe
guarded. 1 see no reason why it
should not be included in the amuse-
ments permitted.
Funds Lacking.
Such a building if constructed
should be of ample dimensions to
meet the city's growth. Owing to GER
tain unusual expenditures which will
have to. be met in the coming year we
have felt that our present budget was
as large as could well be borne. Early
in the season a syndicate Of four young
men of known probity and standing
began preparation for the erection OF
a dance hall. They had plans for a
building of bungalow design 70 be we'll
lighted inside and out. They had So
licited and been promised police SUI
pervision. They met with such strong
protest that they were compelled to
abandon site after site, tentatively Sc
lected, and inallys applied to the
Park Board by which they were dis
missed with scant ceremony.
Clergy Opposed.
This incident taken in connection
with adverse newspaper comments OF
h members of your cloth would
seem to indicate that you. as Knight
Errant" in your crusade, had consid-
cradle work cut out for Q in bring
ing the public up to the desired stand.
AS to the auditorium. In looking this
matter up some time ago It was found
that for some months to come the
owners could not give a title accepta-
bic to the city. With a God Speed
and best wishes for your
remain yours very truly,
H. NJ. Wheeler.

suits in Apprehension of
Men in West.

NsHlItlIE .H.HN.L I--Q "a .HhH- =
Sheriff c. C.. Stewart and Chief OF
Police Odin overly have arrived at
Everett. Wash. where they have
taken into custody three men charged
with the theft of a Studebaker auto
mobile from the Bridgeman-R russell
garage on the night of August "a,
according to a telegram received to-
day atsthe sheriff's office.
The three men arrested in Washing
tor at the request of Sheriff Stewart
r Thomas McCambridge. his broth
err. Frank McCambridge, n Jack
Boyes. The prisoners will be brought
to Grand Forks at once to face a
charge of grand larceny. Frank
Miller, who is being held by the po-
lice on a vagrancy charge, is charged
with having been implicated in the
automobile theft.
Good Detective Work.
The arrest Of the three men in
Washington is the direct result of a
shrewd bit of detective work on the
part of one of the men in the office
of Sheriff Stewart who played
strong on a "hunch" and by shrewd
crose-examination of Miller secured
evidence against the others implicated
in the affair.
Miller had been arrested on a va
grancy charge in Grand Forks and
released by the police on suspended
sentence. At the request of the sher-
ifrs Office Miller was again taken into
custody and the ensuing cross-ex-
animation brought out facts in re-
lation to the automobile theft. The
careful handling Of Miller resulted
in the location of the men on the
coast.
After the alleged theft the quartet
is said to have driven to near Devils
~ $780, NH;11~~ .nrnrato1 from
the others. Three of the men went
west while Miller returned to Grand
Forks. The car was deserted" at a
farm near Devils Lake.

Whistler and DisraeIi.

Whistler once came very near to painting a portrait of Disraeli. He had the commission. He went down to the country to where Disraeli was, but the great man did not manage to get into the mood. Whis- tier went away disappointed, and shortly afterward there took place a meeting in Whitehall which was the occasion of a well known story. Disraeli put his arm in Whistler's' for little way on the street, bring ing from the artist the exclamation, eff only my creditors could see!"

How the use of words changes is well illustrated by this extract from Bacon's Pathway Unto Prayer"

 In those days "brat" had also quite another significance. In an old hymn by Gsscoigne is the line:

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
At Tinss It Puzzles Experts to Dstsss
 the Modern Product.

Nh bHHSU h Vuzziee Experts to Dstoaa the Modern Product.
 "Counterfciting has undergone a revolution in the last few years," says the veteran detective.
 ''In the old days all fine counter feits had to be engraved by hand," he explains. "1f a man was found willing to undertake such job, he had to be an artist of the highest order. To finish properly any plate of value for counterfeiting required from ten to fifteen months. Mod ern methods of photo mechanical printing from photographically pre- pared plates has made the work of the secret service harder than ever before. Where before it required months to complete set of coun- tcrfeit plates now a creditable set can be turned out within a few hours. The notes, too, are better and more dangerous than the finest hand engraved note possibly could be, it matters not how slillful tEe workman may have been.
 Sometimes 1t requires the pick ing out of the silk threads from bill and their comparison, both as to length and thickness, with threads from a genuine bill to es- tablish the fact that note is really a counterfeit" he continued. "If experts are compelled to go to this length to detect spurious note it stands to reason that it virtually is impossible for the general public to do so.
 Counterfeit bills, as rule, are never clean and crisp. Almost in- variably they have been mussed or aged on plank especially prepared for that purpose. That, of course, makes them all the harder to de- tect. Commentators also figure on the fact that people generally are not familiar with tbe characteristics of genuine money and therefore are unable to make any intelligent com parison between the good and the bad. Under all circumstances by far the best test of biA is to ex- anime the lathe work. His in all genuine notes Is perfect and shows what may be called an elastic relief and unbroken line, which cannot be initiated successfully even by touch ing up a photomechanical plate with a graver.
 "As a matter of self protection everybody should acquaint himself with the features of genuine money by leisurely examination of bank notes and thus make himself con- potent to pass upon the average bilFt with reasonable accuracy.
 "Let really dangerous bill aps. pear, and no means are spared to. run it down to the source. Once the maker is found it seldom is diff cult task to find the reserve stock. awaiting a favorable time to pass it. That is why it is exceptionaffor & really good counterfeit to be passed. in considerable quantities. Kan sas City Star,
