The meetings are primarily for the church members, and it is to them that the addresses of Dr. Goodall will be di- rected. K. GREENBERG FREED OF LIQUOR CHARGES (Continued From First Page). corrected that it was he who paid Greenberg $25, the payment being. on & monthly lease of §100. He also stat- ed that Greenbergz held the Eey to a sub-cellar in which the booze was found and that. his only access was through a rear entrance. Bills were introduced showing that merchandise was sold in the name of Jonas and Cremo beer de- livered in that name, No bills were made out to Greenberg since April, béokkeeper John McCarthy testified. Sergeant Hart told of his conference with Jonas during the raid. Jonas told the policeman that Greenberg paid him $25 a week and that he also kept the key to the cellar in which the liquor E. Fhone 1322.5.| was found, according to testimony. Po- liceman Thomas Feeney corroborated the testimony offered by the sergeant. In arguing that his client be dis- charged, Attorney Sexton alleged that there is an ulterior motive back of the lentire case. He pointed out that the state’s witnesses had shown Jonas to be the proprietor and the bills introduced substantiated this theory. Rendering his decision, Juige Alling ad.nitted that the state i .d rroved own- ership of the building but no connection with the business at least subsequent to April 14. The alcohol in the cellar, he said, might belong to the chief of place as far as the court could deter- mine. ‘WITH THE POLICE.

Object of Clinic. The object of the clinic is not . 56 much to find a way to help those in straitened’ circumstances to pay den- tal bills as it is to teach people, and especially school children, how to pre- serve the teeth so that dental treat- ment will not be necessary. The entire campaign and later on the clinic itself will be conducted on the much preached theory: ‘‘A clean tooth never decays.'’ ° A suggestion has been made at a re- cent meeting of the committee that lo- cal druggists lay in a supply of good inexpensive tooth brushes, in anticipa- tion of an increased demand.

REPORT EXAGGERATED North Carolina Man “Dead,” Also Sup- poscdly Buried, Turns up to Deny Rumors. Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 8.—Rela- tives and friends of Leon E. Smith, a young man of this city, who not only grieved over his “death’ but “burigd” him last Saturday, were gradually convinced today by the argument of his hale and hearty reappearance that they had made a mistake. Smith has- tened here yesterday to deny that he was buried when he was told about it by a friend at Bolton, a nearby town where he has been worki: He learned that the body of another man, badly mutilated, had been found beside the railroad track at Mullins, S. C., last week and later positively identified by friends as his own. Let- ;rs addressed to Smith were said to ave been found on the body. Rela- tives were rotified and. arranged to have the body sent to Sanford for in- terment in the Smith family burial plot. It was necessary to hold an im- mediate burial by lantérn light Satur- day night and the mistaken identity went undiscovered. The real identity of the dead man has not been learned.

Marine band, which is to give a double concert in this city Sunday, October 16, was at the meet- ing of the Eddy-Glover post, Ameri- can Legion, last night, and explained to the members assembled, the various ways ‘and means of making the af- fair a sucgess. Commander Harry C. Jackson said that it had been asked him if Fox’s theater, was not too small to have a band. He asked Mr. Jones, who re plied that the band members were all musicians and that they always took the sizé of the place to be played in, into consideration before beginning. Mr. Jones added that theé Marine band has often played in the “Pink Room” of the White House at Washington, D. C., and'that this room was not as large as Fox's theater. It was impressed on the members, the importance of securing the band in this city. One of the points ad- vanced was the fact that it was the kighest paid military banl in the world, and considered the best band ir the world. It was this band organ- izatiom which was led by John Philip Sousa, according to Mr. Jones. This band is forced to practice two hours a day for five days in the week besides the regular concert work. It was’ further stated that all encores would e popular music: MAYOR HALED INTO COURT FOR FRAUD Taxpayer Alleges That He and Fonr Commissioners Conspired to Award 7 Contracts in Improper Manner Hoboken, N.
