1000 AMERICAN
bOYSHEREPLAN
THREE-DAYFETE
Exposition Underwritten b,
Fifty "Dads' Will Begin
January ~.

Two thousand public school boys
have done something worth while.
Two thousand public school boys
are members of the First American
Boys, and they are backed by an
organization of 1000 "dads''--all bus
mess men; and fifty official dads"
who, while not parents, stand spon-
sor for deserving youngsters. These
1000 boys started out today to hand
1000 window cards in 1000 homes.
These youngsters-the First Ameri-
can Boys-are to give an exposition
at Convention Hall January 12-14
inclusive, at which will be shown the
handiwork Of the members. The
undertaking is underwritten by fifty
dads. who act in an advisory capacity
to the youngsters.
The First American Boys started
several months ago when an effort
was made to learn how many public
school boys were doing things on
their own initiative. Two thousand
measured up to the mark-but. many
deserving boys were found to be
handicapped by lack of school essen
tails. Right there the first Ameri-
cans took concrete form and became
an organization of boys for boys.
Eighty schools now have First
American clubs. presided over by boy
officers. The schools have been d.
vided into eleven districts, presided
over by three boys and three dads.
The city council comprises eleven
boys and eleven dads.
The boys have their own organiza-
ton, but the dads ratify all plans.
The exposition was originated by the
youngsters. The dads are: w. ].

FEDERAL CASH
LOST At CARDS
BY DRY AGENT
Resignation Demanded as Re-
suit of Vendome Raid-Too
Many Aces in Deck.

One of the special prohibition
agents attached to the staff OF Col.
L. G. Mutt, has been asked to resign,
because, 1t is charged, he used Gov
eminent money in gambling.
According to the police, the pro-
hibition agent was detailed to watch
the Vendome Hotel last week. and
while collecting evidence he engaged
in a game of cards with several
guests. He was mulcted out Of s75.
1t is alleged, and when he tried to 90
1t back from the man who had won 1t,
after the place had been raided, he
was stopped by one of the detectives.
The special prohibition agents are
the only prohibition agents, it is said,
who are allowed advance money to
procure evidence against violators OF
the national prohibition act. This
agent was given money to botain evil
dence and sent to the Vendome Hotel.
He was around the hotel for several
days.
One Of the guests proposed a card
game the night of the raid and the
prohibition agent agreed to accom-
pany him and other men to one of the
rooms. In the course of the game the
prohibition agent noticed there seemed
to be three aces of hearts in the deck
and felt that he was being cheated.
When the police raided the place
the agent was on hand to help them.
and when the prisoners were being
led into the station house he attempt
ed to get his SIS back from the man
who had won" 1t. One of the de-
tectives in the raiding party told him
If he took the money he would be ar
rested.
The episode reached the ears Of
Colonel Mutt, and he promptly asked
for the resignation to take effect on
January 1.
Colonel Mutt today said the agent
was only temporary one, and while
he had done excellent work, he
thought 1t best to let him go.
