last big crowd to bid him fare

walk of life, passed through Madison

NAMED in the black-draped arena for
the simple funeral services.
Another crowd lined the street outside
the building that stands as monument
to the man who could conceive and
conduct sports on so great scale, yet
be a friend to the least of the preIimi-
nary fighters who appeared in it waiting
for the funeral procession to pass.
The Rev George Caleb Moor, pastor
of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church,
pronounced the final benediction. say
ing of Richard: 'He was a man without
q meanness, a counselor without con-
ceit.' And in their own words the
boys" echoed the sentiment, The was a
good guy"
Many others added their tributes,
spoken and silent, to this. The Rev.
Cranston Brenton of the Episcopal
Cathedral of ST. John the Divine, for
which Richard had helped to raise
funds, represented Bishop William Man
ming, who could not attend because of
illness. His breif eulogy ended: He
fought a good fight and gave happiness
and pleasure to thousands"
Dudley Field Malone added. Gin the
hearts of millions will be found his
memorial" The silent crowd filling
the great building gave proof of this by
its presence.
Ecday the black and purple draperies
have been taken down, and Madison
Square Garden has been changed again
into the huge sports arena Richard
built while his friends and associates
prepare to pay him lasting tribute
by doing as they believe he would have
wishe d--carrying on with the plans he
made before his death and along the
way he showed them.

- ED MEGAW will defend his title

\ at Convention Hall Saturday

night and continues at King
Pin No. and Coliseum the following

eligible by the Washington City Duck

team of the District League.
AS Megaw now is in charge of the
Richmond Health Center drives and
absent from the city most of the time,
it was thought probable he would be
barred from defending his sweepstakes
crown. According to the association
ruling, all bowlers affiliated with leagues
in the District and surrounding counties
are eligible to roll for the richest duck
pin purse offered in this section of the
country.
The same ruling opened the way for
the entry of George Lang Baltimore
star, who has been regular with the
King Pin team of District League this
season. At the same time Ray Won

sought entrance, was barred.

BOULDER CLUB
HOLDS GRAND
OPENING T'DAY


Acclaimed Nevada's finest club,
the new Boulder club at 118 FIRE.
mont, is holding its grand open
ing today.
Erected at cost of approximately
$50, 900 this new structure is one of
the finest permanent business build
ings in the city, and is the tribute
of its four proprietors to what they
believe Las Vegas is destined to be,
a great, deserving, growing city.
Crowned with its great twelve
foot Neon sign, the two-story build
ing's front is one of the most at
tractive fronts in the city, tinted a
pleasant green and artistically
trimmed with decoration and cur
tain. as we'll as a beautiful sidewalk
in the street from building to curb.
P. J. Goumond. Clyde Hatch, j..
V. Murphy and Walter Watson, all
formerly of Ely. and all now of
Las Vegas, are the men who con-
ceived the idea of this structure,
and saw that it was erected in a
little over a month for them.
A highly finished hardwood bar,
for serving of soft drinks and re-
freshments. new card tables and
other equipment have been install
ed There is a modrn ventilation
system which is said to be second
to none for effectiveness. This,
with other electrical equipment,
was installed by the Vann Electric
company.
The painting work was done by
the Pioneer Painting company while
r. B. Raat had the plumbing con-
tract, and the Neon sign was in
stalled by Bruce Brothers Electric.
The upstairs, which still is being
finished, has a hardwood floor, and
will be as finely finished as the
first floor.
Through courtesy of the propie-
tors, the central labor council has
been given the privilege of using
the second floor for union head
quarters and for union meetings
until such time as they should de-
sire to. make lease of the floor.
The unions will furnish their own
furniture and janitor service, lights
being supplied by the management
of the building.
The union headquarters will soon
be established there
The general contractor for the
building was r. E. DodSon. for
merlv of Ely, now of Las Vegas.
Mr.. Dodson pushed the erection of
the structure so that the main
building work was completed in
less than 35 days, which is believed
to be a record for this type and
size of building

Tentative City
Hall Plans In
Mayors S Office
Suggested Scheme for New
Building Displayed; Would
Provide Court, Jail, Clerks
Office, Meeting Room, Fire
Room.

Tentative plans for a proposed
new city hall repose in the office
Of Mayor j. Fred HeSSe.
Merely suggestive of a possible
scheme" the plan was drafted by
A. L. WorsWick, local architect,
and is drawn for a structure to fit
the site of the present county and
city jails. 1t would have to be built
after the county builds its new
Jail, turning over the old premises
to the city, Mayor HeSse pointed
out.
Spanish style. with an archway
front effect, the plan calls for a
justice court in front of the present
city Jail, the old Jail to be a part
of the completed city hall, and
swallowed up by it,
There would be a vestibule and
public hall down the middle of the
building. or Immediately to the
south of the present Jail. Still
south of this would be the city
clerks office in the front and the
commissioners meeting room in the
back.
The fire department headquar-
ters would be to the extreme south
extending from front to rear. and
with wide doors to the back for
egreSS of the trucks.
The proposed structure is rs feet
wide and about so feet deep 1t
would be a one-storv building.
"At the rate Las Vegas is grow
ing we're going to need a CITY hall
hv around next year" said Mavor
HesSn recently. "and it certainly
won't do any harm to be thinking
about it."
This suggested plan was drawn
about a month ago. and the CITY
commissioners. who have seen it
unofficially have expressed liking
for it, according to Mayor HesSe.
