Princess Anastasia
May Come To U. S

Athens, April s.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Princess Anastasia, who
is co~nvalescing from her recent ILL
ness, may go to America soon, and
will take a special steamer to New
York.
1t was originally intended that she
would journey to England for the
purpose of undergoing a second oper-
alton, but in view of the fact that
Great Britain has not recognized King
Constantine, it was feared the
might possibly not be altogether vel
come. Princess Anastasia has refused
to consider making the trip alone,
and is said to be unwilling to leave
her husband. Her recovery is being
retarded by attacks of nausea.

SHARP GIVEN
LOVING CUP
BAPTIST SCHOOL GIVES HIM
LOVING CUP AS FITTING
TOK EN-.

A unique feature OF the Children 5
Day exercises at the First Baptist
church last Sunday was the presenta-
tion Of beautiful loving cup to Mr..
L. a. Sharp, by the Sunday school.
The presentation of the cup was
made by Mr.. T.. c. Crandell, in a few
impressive words, in which he called
attention TO the fact that Mr.. Sharp
had served as the superintendent Of
the Sunday school of the Baptist
church continuously for thirty-two
years.
During this period Of full gen
GRAFTON Mr.. Sharp has seldom been
absent from his place at the church
service, has filled the office of deacon
almost continuously, has been an Of
ficer in the church and one of its
members during all this time
Few conventions in this part of the
country in whcih the Baptist church
is interested get by without Mr..
Sharp appearing at them.
These many years of service have
seen the Baptist Sunday School grow
from just a small handful Of people
in what is now the United Brethren
church to splendid company meet
ing each week in the beautiful church
with its new auditorium, at the cor
ner of State and Hastings streets.
What splendid service it has been.
True Mr.. Sharp has now given over
the work Of experimenting the Sun
day school into other hands, but he is
still an active worker in the church.
The immediate objective is a pipe or
gan, and it is predicted that before
many more months the Baptist con
gregat.on with Mr.. Sharp leading,
will be singing to the accompaniment
of such an instrument.
Such loyalty to a church is seldom
met with in a layman, busy with the
affairs of every day life, and it is
the hope Of his friends that he may
give many more such useful years TO
the church, the college and to his
community.

1t is understood that a petition is
going the rounds Of the lawyers Of
the county asking that Clark be ap-

Senior Play a
Fine Production

The Senior Class play, a Tailor
Made Man, given at the Strand thea
tire Monday evening by The gradual
ing class at Alma College, was with
out a doubt the most successful pre-
sentation Of the kind that has ever
been given i'm this city.
The work of Lee VI. Sharrar was
without a doubt the most marked Of
any members OF the cast. He took
the part Of John Paul Bart, the sec
ond assistant, in highly able man
ner, giving every evidence that he has
mastered the principals OF dramatics
to no small degree.
Gordon French as Mr. Huber, the
tailor; Miss Virginia Blick as Tan
ya, the tailor's daughter Lyle De
Barnhart rs DR.. Sonntag; Margaret
Moore as Bessie Dupuy; Esther
Friedrich as Mrs. Stanlaw; and Per-
sis Robinson, as Miss Shayne, the up
to-date typist, were also features III
the production.
Considerable credit for the success
Of the production must be given to
Professor Roy Hamilton, who trained
the cast; and to Lee Sharrar and
French in the provisions that they
made for the stage effects and prop
critics which added much in the ere
alton of a superb production.

RIVER WATER IS
AGAIN IN MAINS
DELAY IN GETTING o. X. ON
NEW WELL SYSTEM CAUSE
OF THE CHANGE.

River water is back in the city
water mains and the expectation Is
now that no further attempt will be
made to go to the pure we'll water
supply until the completion of the
million gallon reservoir, which is now
under the process of construction and
should be ready for use within the
next sixty days.
Unforeseen conditions resulted in
the turning Of the river water back
into the mains Saturday evening,
following the pumping Of the city
wells for few days, conditions
which the city officials were in no
wise responsible for. When the water
from the wells was pumped into the
mains a week ago Wednesday sam
pies Of the water were taken and
sent TO Lansing, and it was expected
that an O. X. would be quickly pro-
cured from the state board Of health.
Members of the board interested in
this phase of the health work were
in Boston and an o. X. was not forth
coming as quicly as desired. Mean
time the pumping Of the water from
the wells had pulled the water away
from numerous other wells around
the city, leaving many homes with
out pure drinking water, as the well
water in the mains was not available
for drinking purposes until given the
states O. X. This lack of water was

the schools and in many of the homes

visable to turn the river water back

Vas the Cashier
Of Institution
WARRANT WAS BASED ON THE
LARGEST SINGLE ITEM THAT
AUDITORS FOUND.

The case Of the people against Al
fred r. Crawford OF Breckenridge,
formerly cashier of the First State
Savings Bank Of that city, who is
charged with embezzhng funds from
the bank, was star,ed in circuit court
this morning before Judge Hart OF
Midland, and is expected 10 continue
for three or four days. Judge Monet
decided not to hear tie case. O. l..
Smith, prosecutor, is representing
the people, and Archie Mccall of Ith-
aca and William A. Bahlke of this
city, the defendant.
Crawford was arrested on Febru-
airy ii following an audit Of the
books of the First State Bank Of
breckenridge by CHIEF Deputy Bank
Examiner Conway, and Leo l. Kala-
har, examiner, who claimed to have
found several different shortages in
the books Of the company, the largest
single item Of which was said to be
about $1,000.
Immediately following the audit,
which uncovered the alleged short
ages in the affairs Of the bank, the
total amount Of which is said 20 ap-
proximate about $4,000, Chief Dep
uty Conway asked for the warrant
for Crawford, the warrant charging
only the single item of about $4,000.
Crawford was arraigned Immediately
following his arrest and placed under
bail Of $4,000.
The case is creating great interest
because Of the standing that Craw-
ford has held in the county for al
most quarter of q century, and it
promises to be one of the hardest
fought legal battles that Gratiot
county has seen in some years.
