TEN-STORY Church
BUILDING PROPOSED
Congregationalists Plan to
Replace Edifice at Tenth
and G Streets.

The Presidents church-the First
Congregational at Tenth and G
streets-for so years a landmark OF
downtown Washington. soon will dis
appear to make room for a structure
that will probably be 10story of
fice-church" building.
The question of whether the new
building will be a 1o-story structure,
with Offices or apartments and a
church, or just church is still open,
but the congregation has definitely
decided to build a new structure on
the present site.
Not only have the officials of the
church unanimously decided on a new
structure, but the National Council
of the Congregational Church has eX-
pressed its approval of the project
should be financed by the help of the
entire Congregational Church in
America.
Convention Coming Here.
The campaign for the new edifce
will be launched on October 20, when
the National Council of the Congre-
sational Church will begin its eight
day convention at the new Washing
ton Auditorium. and which is expect
ed to bring 5000 people here. The
appeal will be made in November.
Rev. DR.. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor
of the Presidents church, in discuss
ing the need for a new church, said
that the present structure has been
inadequate for the past nine years
and during which time ii has been
necessary to turn away many people
every Sunday because of the lack of
room. DR. Pierce estimated that about
5000 people were kept from attend
ing the services during a year for
this reason. Sunday school activities
also require more room.
Built so Years Ago.
The present structure was built so
years ago, when the congregation
consisted of only 40 persons. With
foresight, however, they built the
church to seat 10 times that number.
A gallery has been added to the
Sunday school auditorium since then
and the front porch has been ,inclosed
to provide more room, but the church
has been over-crowded for years.
While the present structure was in
the course of erection the congrega-
tion of the church met every Sunday
in the United States House of Repre-
sentatives. Secretary Wilbur is one
of the deacons and Associate Justice
Stone of the United States Supreme
Court is also a member.

FOUL PLAY VICTIM
Friends of DR. A. K. Graves
Informed He Knew of Ger
man RoyaIist Plot in U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE New
York American says today II has
learned that DR.. Armgaard Karl
Graves. whose exploits as an inter-
national spy had won him world
wide fame. has been missing since
last August, when he took a trip to
ST. Louis to gather information con-
cerning an alleged plot to restore the
Hohenzollerns to the throne of Ger
many.
The American says that friends of
DR.. Graves have placed the case in
the hands of private detective
agency. which has reason to suspect
that he may have met with foul play.
Investigation by this agency, the
American says, revealed that DIR.
Graves had discovered a plot to stage
a royalist coup in Germany on March
/ and to place the crown prince upon
the throne.
Predicted Ebert's Death.
Two days before his disappearance
DR.. Graves is said to have predicted
that President Ebert of Germany
would die within a period OF eight
months of lest August. President
Ebert's death occurred February %
last, well within the period mention
ed in this prediction.
DR.. Graves also is declared to have
asserted that there were powerful in
fiuences working among German-Amer-
leans in the United States both in
favor of the planned royalist coup and
against it in favor of the republic. He
himself is said to have decided to aid
in thwarting the coup.
The American says that a former
Department of Justice operative knew
of DR.. Graves disappearance, but had
lost his trail at a railroad station in
New York, from which he was about
to leave for St Louis. This agent, as
quoted by the American, declared:
Says He Got Big sum.
"On August % Graves received
large sum Of money. 1t was from
royalist sympathizers in St. Louis, men
whose confidence he had gained Dr.
Graves left his rooming house and
said he was going to St Louis to gain
further information of the plan to re-
store the Hohenzollerns to the throne
of Germany. He decided to leave for
St Louis. But his trail ended abruptly
at the railroad station in New York
DIR. Graves was interned at Fort
Oglethorpe by the American Govern
ment during the war. He had written
two books exposing the workings of the
German spy system and is said to have
been once chief of the German secret
service.

ton today on a vacation. He con-
ferred with Maj. Gen. Hines, chief
of staff, and several chiefs of staff
branches regarding the aircraft
situation and received oral reports
on the Fort Monroe tests From
these, it was said, he has con-
cluded that the tests were not
conclusive. The guns and ammu-
milton used. it was held, were old
in types and manufacture, and the
lack of personnel as well as train
ing facilities had to be considered
as factors.
The results Of the tests will be
used in connection with the de-
termination by the general staff
of the defense plan as a whole and
to guide in the development of
auxiliary arms.

FOX OF BILLINGS
WILL MEET BURESH
LEGION DATES NEXT EVENT
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AT
LIBERTY THEATRE

The boxing card plans having fall
len through for the present, the Leg
ion athletic committee has arranged
to bring Stanley Buresh, the famous
light-heavyweight from Nebraska,
and Jake Fox of Billings, claimed to
be the best at his weight in that
part of the state, together at the
Liberty theatre in this city next Tues
day night, April IA. The contest
is expected to be as good as the re-
cent Buresh-Alley bout, which is say
ing something.
Considerable correspondence was
carried on before a match could be
arranged. Fox's manager, who is
heavy wrestler himself, took it for
granted we had some ambitious
young farmer, or possibly a husky
railroad brakeman, over here and
doubted if it would be worth while
to come. He considered himself too
heavy to meet a 175-pound man but
said he had man at about that
weight who would keep any man we
had very busy. He warned the Leg
ion committee not to match any but
a fast, experienced man against Fox, |
who weighs close to 1876. It is evi- |
dent that neither of the Billings men
are looking for defeat at the hands !
If the Wolf Point challenger Stan !
ey Buresh and his hackers are GER
.ainly not expecting anything but
yictory with big "V." 1t is going
o be great sport to see which side
sets the big surprise.

Grade Pupils Give
Pleasing Program

The high school assembly was
packed with interested parents and
friends of the grade pupils who took
part in the school program: published
in last weeks issue. All grades from
the first to the sixth took part, the
numbers including a well chosen va
riety of performances. Some num-
bers were given in costume, some
were musical some were playlets
or pantomime All gave evidence of
patience and skill on the part of the
teachers and of the bright ability of
the children. 1t was most inter
esting demonstration of how modern
educational methods seek to develop
a well balanced mentality and char
acter, and give opportunity for lat
ent talent to show itself.

FARMER" LEE AND NORTH DA-
KOTA CHAMP MEET COMMON
FATE SATURDAY NIGHT

Those sterling mat artists, Stanley
Buresh and Tom Alley, have not yet
met their masters in their local bouts
this season. Saturday night at Glas-
gov Buresh met Martin Lee, the
athletic farmer who has laid them
all on their backs in his section, and
scored two falls in 43 minutes. Stan
ley devoted 80 minutes to the first
fall and finished up the second in
four minutes. 1t was a good exhi-
bition and Buresh says Lee is a good
man, strong and in good condition.
Among those who went from here
to see the match were Billie Burgess,
Bill jacob, Chick Ferguson and Art
Hall.
The same night at Chinook Tom
Alley went on with E. A. Finlayson
of Bismarck, N. D., who claims the
championship of his state. The North
Dakota man was wild for a match
and wrote to local promoter to
learn what was the matter with Tom
Alley. So Tom showed him in just
As minutes and then showed him
again IN five minutes. Finlayson was
much the heavier man. Both bouts
were put on by the American Legion
and drew good crowds.

TooMEY COMMENTS

Helena, March 27.-E. G.. Toomey
secretary and attorney for the Mon
tana commission and who was coun-
sci for the Montana board when the
case was before the interstate com
nerce commission Thursday evening
had the following to say regarding
the Seattle dispatch on Montana
grain rates:
aThe dispatch undoubtedly alludes
to the export rates on grain from
points in Montana west of a line
drawn through Havre, Lewistown and
Big Timber to Pacific coast ports.
These rates were applicable only on
grain especially destined for trans
Pacific ports, mostly on the Asia
coast.
Montana millers opposed them on
the ground that grain shipped under
the export label was in fact pur-
chased by Pacific coast nillers, there
manufactured into flour and reship-
ped to Montana points at an advant-
age over local millers. It is true
that policing was most difficult.
Montana farmers east Of the
points named opposed the export
rates as discriminatory unless ex-
tended to the whole east. Farmers
west of the points named were repre-
;entei as favoring the rates, but in
reality comparatively little grain
moves west"

CITY ELECTION COUNT
SHOWS LIGHT VOTING

A count Of the votes cast at the
recent city and school elections
brought out what is believed to be
a misunderstanding on the part of
the voters. AS only one candidate
ran for each office in the city election
it would be expected that in each
ward all the officers would have pol
led the same number of votes. This
did not prove true as the number
cast was different in every case. 1t
is believed by the officials that the
voters misunderstood the line which
reads "Vote for One" as meaning
vote for one person on the whole
ticket rather than for each office.
The vote cast in the city election
was as follows: First ward A.
Lowell, for treasurer, 18; A. D. Nc
Neil, for councilman, II; second
ward-V. A. Lowell, for treasurer,
A; John Appelgren, for councilman,
40; third ward-V. A. Lowell, for
treasurer, IA; R. G. Ferguson, for
councilman, 13.
In the school election the name
of w B. Everett was written in on
65 ballots in town and nine outside
but he failed to poll enough votes
for election. The school balloting
was as follows: For a three-year
term J. c. Herman received 168
votes and Robert Jelley 145, from
the entire county; for the one-year
term John R. Burgess received ITS
votes.
The board will meet on Saturday,
April 18, when the new members
will take the oath of office and the
retiring members will be present for
the last time. Those retiring are
John Randall and H. A. Schoening.
The holdover members of the board
are o. C. Johnson and A. J. Toavs.

GIRL FROM OREGON
JOINS HERALD STAFF

Miss Virginia Nesbit arrived from
Corvallis, Oregon, Sunday morning
to take position with The Herald
as reporter and office assistant. Wolf
Point is growing and The Herald does
not intend that the city shall out
grow its newspaper. To attend to
the endless details of the accounting
editorial and reportorial duties, and
at the same time attend to the Office
and get out over the town and learn
what is going on, and get the bust
ness and collect the money, is a
physical impossibility for one per-
son. Hence Miss Nesbit, a trained
and experienced newspaper woman.
She is a graduate Of the Oregon A.
c., specializing in journalism. Until
recently she was associate editor Of
the Benton County Courier, a twice
a-week paper of Corvallis, Oregon,
and filled the position with entire
satisfaction to the editor, he SAYS.
She is also highly recommended by
members of the o. A. C. faculty.
Miss Nesbit's special province as
reporter will be the society, pc sonai
and all over town news. All court
estes shown her in her quest of news
will be sincerely appreciated, espec-
tally until she learns the town.
