manding the expeditionary force. from
practically every moving picture cor
poration in the country. and many of
them have been forwarded by Will
Hays, former Postmaster General. and
now head of the moving picture in
dustry. Gen. Butler, realizing the
Importance of preserving picture
record showing how the Union and
Confederate forces handled them
selves, and then another showing how
the marines of today would operate,
is giving every possible aid to the
picture men. Permission has been
granted to one company alone to send
twenty cameramen.
Camp Harding is we'll established
now. with running hot and cold water
well as complete sewerage facilities

dons of clerical error in a former
indictment in which the crime was

of felonious assault against Bennie

MT. RAINIER TOWN HALL
DEBT MAY BE REMOVED
Community Brotherhood Offers to
Assume Obligation Under
Conditions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MOUNT RAINIER, Nd, June IS
The proposal of the Community
Brotherhood of Mount Rainier to as
sumo the responsibility of paying on
the Indebtedness on the town hall
was discussed at a meeting Monday
night of the mayor and council; the
trustees for the town hall and the
executive committee of the Commu-
nifty Brotherhood of Mount Rainier.
The brotherhood. it is understood,
will assume the Indebtedness of the
hall, provided assurances are given
by the mayor and council that no
more carnivals having as features any
form of gambling, raffies or chance
devices will be allowed and that the
present open air dance pavilion be
removed.
The matter was presented by J. W.
Adams. B. NJ. Dalby. w. l. Steere and
other members of the brotherhood
and argued from the viewpoint OF
moral and civic welfare of the town.
It was pointed out that the present
dance floor is proving to be an un-
desirable advertisement for the town
as a residential suburb. 1t was re-
quested that the question of an ordi-
nance prohibiting carnivals with the
Objectionable features mentioned be
enacted as satisfactory assurance.
from the viewpoint of the broteer-
hood. This proposition was not given
direct consideration by the council.
from the viewpoint of the brother
erhood that was agreed to was that
no change in trusteeship whatever
would be necessary.
THE remainder of the argument
hinged largely on the question as to
whether paddle wheels. and chance
devices connected with carnivals are
gambling The chairman of the board
of trustees argued that while crap
shooting is gambling, such carnival
devices are not.
