GIVEN BOOST
Donations Made at Concert
Given Last Night at the
Majestic Theatre

Voluntary donations from the au-
dience amounting to over $1,000
were added to the Jewish Peoples
Relief Fund at the concert given in
the Majestic Theatre last night, and
more than $500 realized from the
sale of tickets. every one of which
was disposed of. Attracted by
program upon which were three
artists of international note in the
musical world. the community turn
ed out most gratifyingly and the ap-
peal made during the intermission
brought forth the entirely unexpect-
ed financial results.
j. Piastro Borisoff, the eminent
Russian violinist and composer, was
the main attraction and proved
master at technique and tyere was
a warmth and sweetness in his tone
that disclosed the true musician.
This is Monsieur Borisoff's first
American tour.
Miss Karena Post, the Metropoli-
tan soprano in her folk songs and
operatic selections showed her SYM
pathetic and rich voice to great ad-
vantage and Chirniavsky, the we'll
known celloist, was one, of the feat
ures that won great favor with the
audience.
Harry S. Medinets was chairman
last night and made an earnest ap-
peal for funds. Samuel Polensky,
assisted by several others interested
in the movement was general chair
man of many committees whose
efforts resulted in the great success
of the event.
During the intermission, Boris
Zuckerman, nationally among III
onsts and other Jewish organiza-
tions, made a lengthy speech tell
ing the conditions of the destitute
people in Europe and his eloquence
is greatly responsible for the gem
erous donations last night.

Hcpors for the King.
[By The Associated Press, ]


BELFAST. June 22.--King George
and Queen Mary journeying from
England, presided at the state open
ing of the Ulster parliament today.
IL Was the first time in nearly twen-
ty years that Ulster has had an op-
portun,ty of receiving the sovereigns
of the British empire and its well
come helped mako the occasion a
memorable one.
The ceremony was similar to that
attending the inauguration of the
British parliament at Westminster
and was thrilling spectacle. There
was little room in the city hall
where the functions took place for
those having cards of admission.
Sim Feins and Nationalist members
of parliament did not participate in
the exercises.
The visit of the king and queen
was looked upon as fitting observ-
ance of their coronation anniver-
sary. The king had not been in Bel
fast since 1902. From the moment
the yachts Victoria and Albert drop
ped her anchor her escort at the en-
trance of Belfast Low, to make her
entrance at the dock, the king and
queen were the objects of enthu-
siastic demonstration.
The people of County Downs on
the south side of the Low, and
County Lathram We'd with each 9TH
er in extending welcome.
King George stood on the bridge
of the steamer and acknowledged
the greetings. AS soon as the mon
arch stepped ashore the salute
shrieked forth, announcing the king
had reached Irish soil.
The escort of honor was chosen
from the Tenth Hussars. On each
side of the street was stationed d
force of nearly 5000 regular troops,
standing shoulder to shoulder. In
other parts of the city police stood
guard against untoward incidents.
Arriving at the city hall the king
and queen were met by the lord
mayor and members of the council
and they proceeded at once to the
council rooms. and ceremonies be-
gan at once.
When they were completed the
king and queen were entertained by
Sir James Craig, the premier of IN
ster, after which they were driven
once more through the flag decorat-
ed streets to Ulster hall where they
received addresses of loyalty from
various organizations.
The police in the upper Falls
district of this city hearing firing
in that area, pursued eight men
they suspected and captured three
of them. who We're found to have
ammunition in their possession.

Everything was quiet when the

preserve order, and it would have
been difficult for many other per-
sons to have found foothold on the
pier.
Police lines were drawn several
blocks of the pier entrance, not
even when Woodrow Wilson return
eed from the peace conference were
more Thorough precautions taken.
He chatted with newspapermen
and seemed to be in the best of
humor. On her way to her pier the
Olympic passed sound steamer
whose passengers lined the sides and
cheered. He told newspapermen the
cable from Secretary DENLY had
been delayed.
There was no demonstration out
side the pier nor on the way to the
Pennsylvania station, where few
persons were gathered.
At the station there were a few
boos and cheers and one woman
was seen parading bearing pictures
of a jackass. The woman was not
molested by the police.
The admiral just missed one train
for Washington and with Mrs. Sims
entered an office to wait for the next
express scheduled to leave at 1903.
Admiral Sims and his party left
for Washington at 11:08.

of the present year, along the sea-
shore. A good sized crowd was in

endeavoring to escape the intense

BELFAST, June 22.-'I speak
from full heart" said King George
in his speech formally opening the
Ulster parliament here today.
Il pray that my coming to Ireland
today may prove to be the first step
toward the end of fight among her
people whatever their race or
creed.
"In that hope l appeal to add
Irishmen to stretch out the hand of
forbearance and conciliation to for
give and forget and to join in MAX
ing for the land which they love a
new era of peace. contentment and
good will"
1T is my earnest desire that in
southern Ireland too there may ere
long take place a parallel to what
is now passing in this hall that there
a similar occasion may present itself
and similar ceremony be per-
formed"

 CHURCH STRUCTURE

With the arrival last night of Dr. s. c. H. Burgin. secretary of the M. E. Church, iouth, board of church extension, plans for financing the de- nomination's new edifice on North Central avenue here will be perfected immediately. it is expected. Dr. Bur gin reached Phoenix at 9:35 o'clock last night and will remain a visitor here until Monday. He Is a guest at the Hotel Adams.
 Dr. Rurgin will meet members of the board of trustees and the build ing committee of the local church in conference Monday night. at which time financial needs of the new 1 church will be outlined to the exten- sion secretary.
 Members of the local committee are hopeful that the extension board will cooperate fully in the plan to rush the local structure to an early com pletion. At least s9o.000 is needed to complete the building. the Rev. Cecil M. Aker. pastor of the church, said last night
 Fifty-five thousand dollars has been pledged in Phoenix to the build ing fund. with s5.o00 already paid. The extension board has agreed to loan the church S17,500 and in addi- ton has donated s5.0o0 toward the church. The last payment of s25.000 on the old church and site at Central avenue and Monroe street. which has
 been sold. is now on deposit in a
 local bank and is available for con- struction purposes.
 The church building committee
 here. however, is hopeful that the textension board will see the neces- sity for increasing both the size of it's loan and it's donation.
 A larger loan and donation is es- pecially desired. it was pointed out.
 in view of the s50.000 local pledges still unpaid. By advancing a larger
 amount than the $17,500 already agreed upon, the church extension
 board will be working a benefit not
 only upon the church but the com
 murity as well. Rev. Mir Aker said
 for it would give the subscribers here
 plenty of time to meet their pledges
 which is specially desired in view ol
 conditions
 Total cost of the new structure
 Rev. Aker sa .1. will be about $135. 900
 More than ssc.oo0 already has beer spent in the purchase of the churcf ; site at Central avenue and Pierci
 street and the construction of ths
 foundation. The money for thil work. he said, was secured from th' } sale of the old c,S1rch property. whici )d brought s65.00o.
 )i Plans and specifications for tn , new structure are now being pre- , pared by Lescher. Kibbey and Ma , honey, local architectural firm. Bid for the work will be received abou } September l, the pastor said, an' } l the contract probably awarded a s that time It is hoped work on tn i structure will be sufficiently far ad < vanced for the church to occupy it . new home not later than January a of next year.
