It was one big family of Fairbanks. ans which attended the reception at the Masonic Temple last evening, glad to see Bishop Rowe. troubled at the foreshadowed departure of their friends. Rev. H. H. Lumpkin and wife and family and greatly regret full that illness prevented Mrs. Lump kin from being present. All during the evening Fairbanks people of every walk of life, of every cr,aed and denomination, made their way to the gathering. both to greet the Bishop of Alaska, and to tell the departing rector and his partner in life of the regret with which Fair banks sees them leave.
 The evening was an enjoyable one, the women of St. Matthews Guild carrying out their plans without a hitch. Formality was taboo and good fellowship was the order of the day. An entertaining program of sev- eral numbers was interspersed thru the hours of the reception and aided greatly in keeping alive the spirit of the occasion. All the numbers were excellent and an encore to one, a reading by Mrs. L. T. Erwin, paid splendid tribute to Rev. Lumpkin. This was written for the occasion by Mrs. Erwin. It follows: Out of the southland The warm sunny southland, Of magnOlias and roses you came. Into the nOrth.land- The white silent north-land, In the lowly Masters name. Lovingly kindly You've lived among us. Giving your best every day; Nor ever refused The cup of cold water To life's traveller on earth's highway. Words fraught with gold In pitchers of silver, Fell from your lips on our ears; A Master teacher: earnestly pointing The better way" with the years. Thus it is ever As old time rolls onward, The dearest and best friends must
 part;
 And tonight we are gathered As one in our purpose With sad and aching heart-to say: Goodbye, God speed and God bless
 you,
 And yours where'er you may go. Into the north-land a blessing you
 came,
 You have builded and wrought in
 the Masters name; Your work monument shall stand, In this great and undeveloped land; A pioneer of the Cross of Love. You have blazed the way to that
 Light above That shall lift mems souls to a vision
 new:
 To broader thought and a higher
 view.
 We have come to the parting of the
 ways,
 Where the trail divides into yester-
 days:
 Thru weel or woe. loved comrade.

Many Dying of Hunger in Russia,
Says Hoover.

Paris, April IA conservative
estimate indicates that upwards OF
100000 persons in Russia are directly
or indirectly dying from the food
shortage every month, declared Her
bert Hoover, head of the interallied
mission on food relief today. The
gravity of the situation cannot be
overestimated. Mr.. Hoover said.
Under the distribution system rigid
ly enforced by the soviet govern
ment in the larger cities the children
have priority on food supply by way
of meal service, the red guard and
workmen come next and what is left
goes to the burgeoisie and the in
tellectuals. Reports indicate the
school children in the cities are be-
ing reasonably we'll cared for, Mr..
Hoover stated.
The Specialization" of agricultural
production, introduced by Lenine
and Trotsky, has caused such
wreck of farming that the whole
country is e-stricken.
The French troops holding Sc
bastopol in South Russia have been
reinforced and ordered to hold the
city at all costs, said a dispatch
from Bucharest today. The French
and Greek forces at Odessa -eyacuat-
ed the city quietly after battle with

Say U. S. Has Treaty With China.

Japan that Toxic newspapers are cir
culating story about a secret treaty
between China and the United States
and demanding that this treaty be
made public if the secret treaties
with Japan are made public, as is be-

Of the Paris Peace Conference. This
story is denied absolutely by officials
of the State Department, who are at

authority the Toxic story is based.
