Cook County and Chicago Money Crisis So Critical That Collapse
 of Government Will Come Soon
Citizens Committee Head Says People Do Not Re- alize Full Significance of Difficulty - Immediate Action Urged.

Chicago, Jan, 22 CP)-The .finan- cial crisis of the city, county and school board was described today by citizens committee as critically desperate"
 The local governments, he said, following three day search by his committee for "a way out" arc fiat brokc," with no prospect of any aid from the banks. Efforts to induce substantial property owners to buy tax anticipation warrants which they could use later as payment of their 1928 tax bills, also have been un- successful.
 Collapse Matter of Days
 "Complete collapse of the local aovcrnments' is only "a matter Of days unless some means of produc- ing cash is found, StraWn warned. Even a special session of the legis- laturc, he said. could not get under way quickly enough to forcstall the crisis.
 The local governments, StraWn said, arc 5290,o00,00O in debt, and this is costing an estimated $50.0Op q day in interest.
 'I do not believe the public grasps as yet what a really serious situation this is," StraWn declared. "I hope that before the poor people who are in our institutions either starve or freeze 10 death. our citizens will come to a realization of the existing conditions and do what they can to help"
 Pinch Already Felt
 The pinch already has been felt, he pointed out, in the Cook county hospital, the Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium, the blind relief fund, the mothers pension fund, the public library and other philanthropic in stitutions.
 In the county no payrolls have been met for a month and another payroll. due tomorrow, will not be met, officials said. The school board is behind one payroll and has an nounccd it will be unable to meet the next payroll, due Friday when l.. 000 persons had hoped 10 get salaries totalling $l,75o,o00.
 The county comptroller has in formed the StraWn committee that hv March l the county will owe S2,- 250,000 in salaries and s, 1000 ir other liabilities.

North Dakota Town
Inspires Broadway.

Portal. N. D., is the scene of the
newest musical show to arrive in New
York, Mystery Moon"
1t appears that the playhouse in
Portal is. to a large extent, avoided
by the natives because there is a
rumor that the place is haunted. AL
though the property man claims that
ghosts have nothing to do with 1t,
customers avoid the place because the
shows are so bad.
There is some basis for the rumors
in that the wne Of the playhouse.
30 years before, had been found
hanging above the stage door. Mys-
FERROUS noises and events had hap
pened frequently around the place
since then, so it is into no pleasant
atmosphere that the Mystery Moon"
company arrives.
During rehearSals some members
of the troupe become curious and get
themselves into serious trouble. First
the leading lady disappears through
the stage floor, and then her under
study goes the same way.
Finally the villain is caught and
the heroine is restored to the arms
Of the hero. A dcmented stage man
aged had been using the place as a
base for smuggling, and resented in
reference.
Once away from the plot. one finds
happier moments in the musical de-
partment. Frances Shelley. an able
blues singer, enhances two tuneful
numbers called You Always Talk of
Friendship and Clean Out the

jorie Gaines look lovely in their num-
bcrS.
In the finale the show reaches its
high mark with a b%urlesquc on the
naval conference. Its satire is rich
and humorous.

TWO CANDIDATES
GIVEN CITIZENSHIP
Court Says Applicants for citi-
zenship May Follow Person.
al Religious ScrupIes

New York, July 1.-R)-Declartng
that an applicant for citizenship has
the right to follow his conscience and
religious scruples regarding the bear
ing Of arms, the United States court
Of appeals has ordered that the Rev.
DR.. Douglas Clyde Macintosh, profess
sor Of theology at Yale divinity
school, and Miss Marie Averil Bland
be admitted to citizenship.
In its opinion the court reversed
the decision of federal district courts
in New York and Connecticut.
DR.. Macintosh and Miss Bland are
Of Canadian birth. DR.. Macintosh
was a war chaplain with the Cana
dian army and later served with the
Y. M. G. A. with American troops in
France. In his application for citi-
zenship he declared he could not
swear to bear arms in what he might
consider an unjust cause.
Miss Bland. the daughter Of an
English clergyman, who was a war
nurse with the American army, was
denied citizenship in New York be-
cause she said that, while she was
willing to go to the front to nurse
wounded, her conscience as q Chris
tian would not permit her to bear
arms.
The opinion written by Presiding
Judge Martin T. Manton said the
cases Of DR.. Macintosh and Miss
Bland were not parallel to that Of
Rosika Schwimmer, who was refused
citizenship because of her pacifist
views. The refusal in her case was
upheld by the United States supreme
court
Judge Manton described Nine.
Schwimmer as an absolute atheist"
who was found to have no sense of
natiOnaliSm.

KIWAN|S OBSERVES
NEAR-FOURTH TODAY
Fitting Songs Sung by Trinity
Lutheran Quartet and Judge
Burke Makes Address

Not being able to celebrate July
Fourth, the Kiwanis club today cele-
brated July l. That is, 1t put on a
program of patriotic songs and called
in John Burke, North Dakota's silver
tongued orator. in the hope he'd re-
lease the American eagle for this
~ear-Fourth.
But the judge refused to let loose
the proud bird Of freedom. He said
he had aquila chrysaetus all tied for
an ascension Friday at Harvey; and
until that great day the national bird
would not soar nor would he cream.
The judge gave a talk in a very
American vein, however, and he par
~ticularized on North Dakota, speak
ing OF its resources and of the advice
given it to diversity and cut wheat
acreage. There was some unwisdom
about this, he pointed out, as there
was no reason for reducing the hard
wheat production, when this was the
best region Of all in the United States
the ideals of the founders of the ma
ton, cited Webster's supposed speech
OF John Adams as an example of the
spirit that set this country free and
analyzed the meaning of equality be-
fore the law.
The Trinity Lutheran quartet, Rev.
o. 8. Rindahl, Mrs. o. s. Rindahl,
Mrs. liver Acker and M. H. Anderson,
sang two selections, the National
Song" by Grieg and "One Fleeing
Hour" while Mrs. Acker sang when
the Boys Come Home" written by
John Hay while serving Lincoln as
private secretary during the Civil
war.
The club decided it would be i'm
possible to make a luncheon visit Ia
the training camp at Fort Lincoln as
no luncheon date was available. An
invitation to make the visit Friday
July IL, therefore, was declined with
regrets.
Members Of the club, however, were
at the camp Monday evening to give
a program Of entertainment. James
Morris, attorney general, made an adj
dress to the camp boys and L. H. Belk
sang some solos, while Harry Rubin,
of the University of Minnesota. play
cd some saxaphone selections.

highest grade bond issues have
been successfully introduced and
their prices have advanced be.
tween two to five points over

The review continues:
"The financing done for ia

is the only financing done on a
6 per cent yield basis which
has met with favor from in.
vestOrs and these bonds are
now selling some two and one

The bankers point out that
Canada was the chief foreign
borrower in this country during
this period, obtaining in % in

The Great Apostle

The Apostle Paul is one Of the
great figures Of history. He tran
scends the history of religion, and
is an outstanding character among
the giants Of the long record Of
mankind.
Few men have been more versa
tile than st. Paul. He was able to
write superb prose. He was an ora
tor of ability. Above all, he was o
man Of tremendous energy, of an
astonishing capacity to get things
done.
He combined qualities seldom
found In the same person. The
poet only rarely is o man Of &C.
ton. The man Of vision is proverhi-
ally unable to translate his vision
into deeds. st. Paul was the ex-
-ception to the rule.
> The Apostle was q man Of ner-
Vous energy. with an apparent in
ability to be neutral on any sub
ject. Before the vision on the road
to Damascus, that so colored his
life, he prosecuted the Christians
with o relentless ana an astoniSh-
ing bigotry.
And yet a proper understanding
Of his background can account, in
part at least, for the various per
secutions instigated by SC. Paul.
He was t-ought up to the
strict teachings Of his people.
He had a good training. but
one not likely to give him broad
ness of spirit.
The conversion Of st. Paul not
only changed his theology: it
changed his entire viewpoint.
