Charivari Dinner Largely
Given Over to Merrymaking,
But Ends Seriously.

Several hundred men and women who

world in general have t, sell gathered
at the City Club last night to revel with
the Washington Advertising Club, at
its Charvari dinner.
If the definition of charivari. as given
by Frederick William Vile. the toast
master was correct. then the dinner
was poorly named. The word. the pre-
siding officer explained. meant "a sere-
made of discordant noises designed to
injure and insult" There was plenty of
noise. and not all of it was harmonious,
but not a discordant note was struck
during the evening, no one was injured.
and most assuredly no one was insultt'd.
The evening was given over to the
princes of joy and forgetfulness, and

R|KHOFF ACTION
SCORED BY CLUB
Suspension of Two Members
Unjust, Vote Says.

Religious strife in the police de-
partment was declared the cause for
the action of Herman F. Rikhof,
chief of police, in suspending Lieut..
Arthur b MCGEE and Patrolman
Harvey W. Bedford, according to
resolutions passed recently by the
Englewood Hustling Hundred. civic
club.
The chiefs action resulted from the
poIcemen's trip to Colfax, Ind, in
search for the slayer of Robert Wat
son without reporting to the chief
first.
In defense of the suspended police
men, the resolutions declare the
suspension evidently sprang from
desire to discriminate against rather
than to discipline these men, judging
from the unfair tactics which have
been and are now employed against
the Protestant members Of the police

Come Back to Village

Thomas w. Harris, Isaac F.
Harris, and Mrs. Thomas Foust
(better known to Chapel Hill
ians as Miss Lizzie Harris), and
Mrs. Foust's daughter were in
Chapel Hill for a days visit last
week. They travelled by automo-
bile, coming from Greensboro
Friday and leaving for Pittsboro
Saturday.
The elder of the two Harris
brothers, Thomas w., is a direc-
tor of the American Tobacco
Company and is in command of
the company's activities on the
Pacific coast. He came from
California to bring his daughter
East, and she is spending the
summer with relatives, first in
Virginia and then in New York.
On his way here, Mr.. Harris
picked up Ike in New York, and
together they proceeded to
Greensboro to gather in the
Fousts for the trip to their. old
home town of Chapel Hill.
They went about the village
greeting their friends and mar
yelling ct the changes that had
come over the place.

DR.. Lynch is one of the old
inhabitants of Chapel Hill. He
came here first in 1881, stayed
six years, was away sixteen
years, returned, and has been
here for the last twenty years.
He has always been a lover of
sthe sports of field and stream,
and has tried to break away
from his work several times,
but every time he thought he
had decided to quit somebody
would come in and demand treat
ment and his resolution would
fade.
