Vanderbilt Stockholders

stockholders and creditors Of the
Vanderbilt newspapers, Inc. will be

The Vanderbilt trust at the pres

paternal and maternal grandfath-
ers, each of whom left him under

Added to this amount is a sum
Of nearly a million and a half which
General Vanderbilt loaned to hi.
sons properties some years aKo and
which Vanderbilt Jr.. repaid to hi

LIBRARY AID FOR

are received show that somewhere
these young people have acquired
the reading habit. They have
learned to enjoy reading popular BIZ
graphy, books on travel. on practical
arts, and fiction that have been so
carefully selected that only standard
fiction is before them. The younger
boys and girls have been given an
opportunity to read many books
thereby increasing their reading vo-
cabulary and becoming conscious of
the power to use that tool which will
be their greatest help through life.
MANY OF the school districts are
too far from the center for the chill
dren to take books direct from the
library, and many of our boys and
girls acquire the reading habit when
they are too young to go to the
library alone. School funds do not
permit of very many books In the
schools outside of prescribed texts
basal readers. and limited supply
of reference material.
This year the schools are greatly
handicapped because the library has
not been able to send them any
books. The children are asking for
books and the schools can not an
swer the call.
THE seriousness OF this loss of
library book assignments to the
schools OF the city is 80 widely felt
by pupils, teachers, and parents that
It is hoped some means may be
found for overcoming the loss."

1T is impossible to write a complete

family to desist from legal proceed
ings. He said such proceedings are
contrary to the scripture and to tho
Army's own regulation, which posi-
lively prohibits settlements Of dis
putes within the Army by recourse
to the civil courts.
The court proceedings alIenated
the sympathies Of the four commis-
sioners who had previously support
ed the cause of General Booth. This
withdrawal Of support was attnbut-
ed especially to the attitude Of
Catherine Booth. the generals
daughter. by the Daily Express to-
day. The paper quoted an unnamed
high official a. saying:
No Action Contemplated
I'VE are amazed that she repeat
eddy assured members Of the coun-
Gil that no legal action was being
taken. To the last moment before
the adjudication whenever any ref
erence was made to legal proceed
ings Commissioner Catherine asSur-
ed the council that nothing Of the
sort was contemplated. 1t was a
great shock to everybody when the
impending action was announced"

eral Booth himself a. late an 1927
laid down the regulation forbidding
salvationists to 30 to law with other
members Of the Army on pain OF
