Doors will open at 7 o'clock and the band concert will be given| from 8 o'clock until 9 o'clock when the gym students will begin their hour’s entertainment under Miss Kathyrine Long and H. E. Regele, | athletic instructors. | Mitt and Mat Show These mitt and mat shows, and physical education drills have al-! ways proved interesting and the | program planned for this evening will be no exception. Beginning| with an Indian club drill by a| group of girls from the eighth! grade and first year of high school the fast action will continue until the final athletic game by high school boys. Girls Tumble After the Indian Club drill, there will be an exeiting tumbling exhi- bition by the girls, requiring agility and stamina. Two fast and new games wil be played by high school boys, cage ball and kick-pin. Both of them are recent innovations and ex- tremely interesting to watch. Be-| tween the games there is scheduled | a surprise bout, guaranteed to add the comedy teuch. The entire program will be put through with| expedition and requires about one hour, after which there will be a| free dance to the Mandarin Dance Band music. Last Night's Program The program put on at the Fair| building last evening was well re- ceived and included presentations by Miss Grace Naghel, Miss Ma- thilda Holst and little Bernice| ‘Waugh, following the excellent band concert by the Juneau City Band. Miss Naghel, whose attractive costumes have won high praise as well as has her unusual grace and talent, gave several dances, in which her interpretation was orig- inal and beautifully executed. Her exhibition waltz, for which she wore a diaphanous green and white costume, was particularly pleasing.

R DEPOT William Lorimer, Ousted from Upper House, Drops Dead CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 14—Former United States Senator William Lor- | imer dropped dead yesterday af- ternoon in the Chicago and North- western railroad station. The rise and fall of William Lorimer in the political life of Illi- nois and the nation was packed with dramatic and bitter incidents. For a score of years he was known as the “Blond Boss” of the Republican party in Illinois. Dur- ing that time he tutored in his school of political technique men who later filled his shoes as the storm center of political attacks. Ousted From Senate His ousting from the United States Senate was perhaps the greatest disappointment of Mr. Lorimer’s career, while the most humiliating incident that befell him was when Theodore Roose- velt, then a former president, bared his famous teeth and refused to dine with Lorimer. The latter 1ncident occurred at Freeport, Ill, in 1910, while Roose- velt was making a tour of the country. A delegation of the Ham- ilton Club of Chicago, the largest Republican Club in the west, went to Freeport to welcome the former ' | | - | Blood Transfusion | For Dionne Five !

By 16 At the time Lorimer was the jun- lor United States Senator from Ilinois and the most influential member of the Hamilton Club. He had weathered a Senatorial inves- tigation of charges he had ob- tained his seat by fraud and brib- ery of legislators. After a tearful plea by Lorimer, the Senate voted 46 to 40 against ousting him. Astounds Committee It was the evidence adduced dur- ing the investigation, however, that caused Roosevelt to astound the committee from the Hamilton Club by refusing to eat at the same ta- ble with the Senator. The club withdrew its invitation to Senator Lorimer, who resigned his mem- bership the next day. For years afterward, Hamilton Club members were divided on the -question whether Lorimer’s or Roosevelt's invitation to the Bbanquet should have been withdrawn. Political enemies of the Senator were not satisfied with the white- washing he had received and new CHILEAN ORDER Bids for Government Materials from Ameri- cans Not Considered SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 14— Senor Bello, Chilean Minister of Defense, has served notice that bids from American Aviation firms seeking to sell materials to the Government, will not be considered. “Please inform American firms that bid on the sale of aviation materials that their bids will not be considered.

MAKES NEW APPEAL WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. — The Textile Strike Committee has ap- pealed to the transport workers to stop shipments from textile mills to the markets. The appeal was sent to the Longshoremen’s Unions along the Atlantic Coast and asked they refuse to handle imported tex- tiles or domestic textiles. In North Carolina The North Carolina National Guardsmen were forced to use tear gas and bayonets to disperse pick- ets at the Holt-Eave Mills near Burlington. All is reported quiet in Rhode Island this afternoon and Federal troops there will probably not be needed. It is now estimated 400,000 tex- tile workers are idle. - - CLAIM ORDERS NOT GIVEN ON BLATING SHIP Important Testimony Giv- en in Morro Castle Investigation NEW YORK, Sept. 14—Charges that the Morro Castle officers did not give necessary orders to the crew when the flames swept that vessel were made by William O’- Sullivan deck storekeeper, before the Department of Commerce in- quiry.
