Only One Bad Actor
Over the Holiday

s. E. Flowers complained to the
police last night that he had been
robbed Of $11 by two masked men
on Potomac avenue as he was. on
his way home at about 8 o'clock.
According to Flowers story. the
two men suddenly confronted him
in a dark spot and seacherd him
at the point of a revolver. No trace
of the men could be found by the
police.
No police court was held this
morning in the absence OF Mayor
Conaway. Only one arrest was
made, the records showing that
Night Chief Boggess and Patrolman
Arnett and Baker had arrested
Hugh Metz at 4:30 this morning on
a charge OF being drunk and disor-
derly. Evidence that Hugh was
disorderly Is strong when the nu-
emrical strength of the gendar-
meries woh made the arrest Is con-
sideredr and the other part Of the
charge will very likely hold also,
for 1t was given out that even If
the mayor were on hand to try the
case, Hugh would have still been
unpresentable at 8 o'clock.
No t0ehr arrests weer made by
the police yesterday.

TABERNACLE TO
HAVE SOME FLOOR
Lot On Which 1t is To Go
Up Is Not
Level

The big lot on Fifth street and
CASTOR avenue which will be used
us ground for the Billy Sunday Ia
bernacle has developed a lop-sided
disposition, and like some humali
beings will have to be pro2ped and
padded to meet the necessary re-
quirements OF success. 1t was dis
covered on the day prior to Thanks
giving when the lot was BtaRed that
posts will be necessary to counter
act a H-foot lean from one corner
OF the lot to the other. THIS means
that while the tabernacle for the
most part will be minus flooring, 1t
will be necessary to build flooring
on the inside on the end Of the lot
which drops.
Mrs. w. S. Mayors and Mrs.
Clyde hutchinson, who were ap-
pointed heads OF the woman's work
IN the revival, viii accept the posi-
tions, It is believed. Mrs. Mayors
has had much executive experience
and is born leader, as Is also Mra.
Hutchinson. The latter, however,
is at present at the Battle Creek
/ LsAniteTiuIn and may not be "ptlySF~
cally able to undertake the task. It
is hoped by those In charge that
she will be improved to the extent
that she may at least take charge.
The chairman of the financial
committee, Wilbur Hennen, who
died this morning, will be replaced
as soon as possible. His death was
greatly deplored by William Asher
particunrly. Mr.. Hennen was also
chief usher. such excellent men
are diaicult to replace" said Mr..
Asher.
Reports from the various pastors
as to committees and personal
workers appointed are coming in
fairly we'll. Six churches are yet to
be heard from. The completed list
OF workers will be ready for pubi-
cation soon.
