Plans for Observance
Of Good Friday Complete
Congregational and Methodist
Churches to Unite in Service
at Theatre

A movement is on foot for a
proper recognition and observance
of Good Friday. There has been
a growing sentiment that this day
should not be passed each year as
an ordinary day in view of it's inn
portance in Christian history and
although in the past the banks have
always closed on this day all other
business has gone on as usual. The
movement for a recognition of the
day has so far resulted in the
Mayor issuing proclamation
which will be found in this issue.
Application has been made to
Washington for permission to close
the Post Office for three hours,
the banks will be closed all day
and the churches will hold special
services. Two of the Protestant
churches have arranged to unite
and hold a special three hours SER
vice in the Caughren Theatre and
in the evening the Theatre manage
ment have arranged for the show
ing of "The Passion Play" one of
the most expensive films on the
market. This is the original pic
ture obtained at great expense by
the producers from the actual OBJ
erammergau players and should at
tract a large crowd. There seems
a general feeling among all de-
nominations that this day should
be recognized and there is no
doubt that the religious forces in
the community will receive the
fullest cooperation from the bust
ness men, to cease all forms OF
business for three hours is to
mark the day as being different
from the ordinary day and to EN-
phasize the fact that this is a
Christian community.

Burglars Tastes
Couer Wide Range
Thieves Force Entry Into Wernig
Garage Tuesday Night, Pilfer
Tools of No Earthly Use

The average burglar is out af-
ter the coin of the realm.
Not so with those who broke in
to the Mike Wernig garage at his
home, Fifth and Birch street Tues
day evening. They stole the tools
belonging to the, car, lifted a
satchel containing about $65. 90
worth of tools used in the installa-
ton of Frigidaire plants, a port
folio and one-pound box OF
candy on the rear seat of the car
Aside from very few wrenches
in the valise the tools will be
worthless to anyone not Installing
FTigidaire plants.
Mr.. Wernig closed his garage
about midnight and the robbery
took place during the early morn,
ing hours.
Wednesday morning the port
folio was found near George
Rice's barn, forced entry having
been made by cutting around the
lock. The contents of the portfolio
were intact.
Mr.. Wernig has several Frlgldalre
plants ready to install and it was
necessary for him to make a hur-
ried trip to Minneapolis, today
Thursday, to get the necessary
tools for the installation.
Everything points to the burg
larly being the work of amatuers
Mr.. Wernig is very wroth, not 81
much because of the monetary
loss, but because of uhe delay ant
trouble to make his installations
He is willing to pay very lib
eral reward for any information

Less than one-third of the Sank

election.
Perhaps because only three al

there were four splendid candi-

this apparent lack of interest.
The terms of Aldermen G. D.

Messrs Cass and Pangburn de-

Mr. Salmond refused to serve
longer.
The younger element of the city
were represented by the filing of
w. d. (Dewy) O'Gara to succeed
Mr.. Salmond as the reelection of
Messrs Cass and Pangburn was
generally conceded.

The number OF missing is still un.

The Dutch steamer Athena with

early today and began discharging
her cargo of excited and narrowed
survivors, and the French steamer
Formosa followed shortly with 35a
others.
Both ships carried many injured
survivors. Ambulances and phys.
icians met them. The survivors
were removed to hospitals, and
hotels and given food and drink, for
they had been nearly two days
huddled and jammed aboard the
overloaded rescue steamers with
insufficient food.
Reporters Banned
Journalists were forbidden to
interview arriving survivors but
alongside the ships it was still pos.

of injured and nerve-exhausted
survivors. Some of the survivors
were anxious to describe the ter

They told of a sea of floating

their lives as they were tossed about
by the waves, whereas others had
given up the battle and their bodies.
