Mayor Moore and City Attorney Raark will confer with health off! dais and lend their every assistance award enforcement of the ordinance requiring unrestrained dogs to be nuzzled during a certain period of the Fear, but the city will not take the initiative in this matter, as the city titorney's opinion places he duty else- ike. The mad dog question has caused Jo little interest of late and was the only thing worth while to come ber fore the board at this morning's session. AT GRACE CHURCH THE WILMINGTON UISFATCFT, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH T 3, 1918. Will Be of Two Weeks Dura tionFirst Week Will Be Night 'Services (: v REV. M. T. PLYLER TO DO THE PREACHING Song Services ' Will Be Feat ure Church and Sunday School Forces Will Be Utilized Preparations are about complete for the revival services that will start at Grace Methodist church on Sunday morning ana wnicn will extend over a two weeks' period, it was stated this morning by Kev. M. T. Plyler, pastor of the church. The iniL week will be devottd entirely to night services and while the same policy may be followed on the succeeding week-day seryices may be held. This has not been definitely determined as yet. . The services will be in chargo of the pastor of the church, who will utilize the church and Sunday school forces and wnl not bring in aid from the outside. Members of ,the congre gation and the public generally is in terested to no small extent in the se ries of services arranged for and the attendance is- expected to be unusual ly large. The need of increasing and deep ening the spiritual forces at home prompted arrangement for the serv ices, there being a feeling that too little attention is being paid those remaining behind. in an effort to throw every safeguard around the boys in cantonments and military training camps. These .spiritual forces at home, in the opinion of Mr. Plyler, should be as carefully looked after as the same forces n the army camps and because of the fact that every effort has been inade looking toward spiritual work In "the various camps, this work has been allowed, in hjs opinion, to slow" up at home. The soldier boys are being well looked after, it is stated, and it is impera tive that the spiritual work at home becorit inued just as it was-" prior to the assembling of the flower of the country in the training camps, pre paratory to duty abroad. As stated above, the service will extend over a two weeks period and the first week will be devoted exclu sively to night services, each service beginning promptly at 8 o'clock. The second week may include day serv ices and if this r plan is followed ft will probably hean services during the afternoon, as it is believed that more persons would be able to attend during the afternoon than would be possible in the morning. The singing is to be a special fea ture o fthe services, the choirt com posed of Mrs. Ct G. Parker, Mrs. J. TJtley King, Mrs. , E. L. Hart, Miss Mary Houston and Messrs. W. O. S. Southerland and N. G. Spaven, having made preparations to assist in the successful conduct of the services. Mrs. M. W. Chasten is organist and Mr. G. N. Spaven is director. PAGE FIVE. COMMAND COL.

Metts, commanding officer of the 119th infantry at Camp Sevier, formerly the second North Carolina infantry, will resume command of his regjmerlt about April first. Colonel Metts has been at Fort Sills, Oklaho ma, since about the first of the year taking a special course of instruction. He will relieve Col. Lee J. Parker, who will be assigned to duty else where. The artillery at Camp Sevier, com posed mainly of Tennesseans and North Carolinians, has been brought right-about-face to the beginning ot the end of intensive military training h?re before going overseas. The second battalion of the 114th field ar tillery, formerly the first Tennessee regiment, has been selected for honor of being the first to do actual firing on the artillery range at Cleveland mills, 20 miles above Greenville, in the heart of the mountains. The bat talion will leave on March 15, and it is supposed that it wil remain for two weeks. The first battalion will fol low the second, remaining for a like time. The three batteries composing the second battalion were recruited from Paris and Jackson, Nashville, and from Franklin and Columbia, Tennessee, re- 11 -V A Ii.al ft 11 - 1 oycnveiy. yji iue remaining units battery A came from Memphis, bat tery B from Chattanooga, and battery C from Knoxvile, so that the regiment is an all-Tennessee organization. The regiment was organized after the declaration of war, and was de signed as a field artillery regiment from the very outset, thus obtaining the . very highest class of men. It was the only regiment to arrive at Camp Sevier above the war strength, special permission having been ob tained from the southeastern depart ment to do this, in order to offset in evitable future losses. Less than 15 drafted men were put in to fill up its ranks. Continued drafts of the most highly skilled men for immediate service overseas is understood to have delay ed preparation somewhat, but set backs thus received have each time been made up with a good will. At present, training is also a little hin dered by the absence of many officers who are away, most of them at Fort Sill, for special instruction. CAROLINIANS IN NEW YORK. o llHO.

""y ana at little cost. icnt and Sop at all drurfiatt. Mr. C. F. Hamme; of This City, Gives Interview on City's Progress. Many North. Caroiinia buyers are in New York at the present time and are not only enjoying the sights that are always to be found m the metrop olis, but are reveling in the first touci of spring weather that Gothamis have experienced this season. R. S. Carroway, writing In the Raleigh- News a,nd Observer, has the following to say: "North Carolinians in the metropo lis this week enjoyed the first touch of spring weather that Gothamites have experience&-tbijBi season and, fol lowing the severe"Cbld of the past several months, it came as a decided relief. Buyers continue to throng the city, while other visitors have been here in usual numbers. "Among the prominent Carolinian in New York this week was CP. Hamme, well known business man of Wilmington, who told of the growth of the Eastern Carolina town recent ly and who predicted that it would soon become a national city. " 'Although Wilmington is one of the largest commercial cities of . the State, it is awakening to its possibili ties as a national city, said Mr. Hamme. 'To that end its resources are being employed to help build the fleet of wooden ships needed by un cle Sam to successfully prosecute the war. The fishing industry, which is so important in our section, is break me all its past records. Thousands of barrels of fish are being caught daily. The fisherman is an ancient character bufe his now achieving a reputation of helping to conserve pre cious foodstuffs, The dredging or a deeper chan$!.,'t the ocean should help wiimingion to reiievo - lantic harbors of their shipping bur dens. Capital has interested itself upon the subject and negotiations are progressing that may make new history for the eastern part of Caro lina. It is proposed that Wilming ton become the terminus of certaii South America' transportation lines. To this end the packing interests have built a number of substanjil warehouses that can be used for mer chandise. To a city that has been self-satisfied, ' marking time indeSnite ly, the quickening impulse of sudden development has arrived. It has re vitalized the whole community. Where such a spirit abounds It simply follows that it maKes an admirable second party in. the development of bttshjfiss lB.fineraJ,' SERVED TWO WARRANTS. J. M. Thompson Charged With Float Ing a Worthless Check. A warrant charging the passing of a worthless check was served on J. M. Thompson, white, this morning by Deputy Sheriff J. J. Rackley, and he was being detained at the sheriff's office this morning while seeking to arrange his bond. The warrant which alleges that a worthless check for $36 was passed, was sent here from Chadbourn, Columbus county for service. Thompson had been employed at a local garage and was found there this morning by the dep uty sheriff, although it was under stood that he resigned his work sev eral'days ago. Also a warrant charging Paul Tay lor, colored, with disorderly conduct on the public road, was served by Deputy Rackley. Taylor has a case in Recorder's court today and just as quickly as that is disposed of he will be arraigned on the newer charge. MEET TOMORROW NIGHT. DOG PROBLEM IS ADMITTEDLY ONE THATJSSERIOUS Extermination of Worthless Cur Considered by Health Board NO ACTION WAS TAKEN, HOWEVER Not a Police Job City Attorney Ruark Says May Swear in Members of Sani tary Force Consideration and discusion of the dog was one of the features of yes terday afternoon's regular monthly meeting of the Board of Health and while no action was taken looking to ward the banishment of the cur from the streets, the board found it neces sary to pass out a check for $50 to bo used in sending the small son of Mr. N. F. Hanchey, to Raleigh for the Pas teur treatment, the result of bite from a dog infected with rabies, the consensus of opinion being that it would be equaly as cheap and more satisfactory to send the boy to Ral eigh than to send there for the virus for treatment of his injuries. The interpretation of the law of City At torney Ruark, according to Dr. R. B. Slocum, acting ealth officer, was that enforcement of the ordinance re quiring dogs to be restrained or muz zled was not a duty of the police but strictly a health measure to be at tended to by the department, and it was suggested that the sanitary po lice be sworn in as special officers and armed for the purpose of exterm inating the worthless cur. Action of this nature, however, was not taken. Arrangement of the work of the nurses makes it possible for the board's . nurse to confine her activi ties very largely among school chil dren; the two nurses supported by the King's Daughters to look after the indigent poor and the nurse support ed jointly by the Red Cross and Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company to look after tubercular patients. Mr. James E. Holton, superintend ent of streets, was before the board and was complimented in no uncer tain manner for the splendid service he had rendered in cleaning up the city, there being absolutely no crit icism to make of his work from any angle. Daily conferences are being held by Dr. Slocum, Chairman W. A. McGirt, and Dr. Arnold Stovall, county phy sician, relative to health work, Dr, Slocumb advised the board. It was also ordered that bids be asked for the summer uniforms of members of the sanitary force, decision having been reached by the men that they will wear blue this season rather than the near khaki as in the past. Month ly reports were submitted. CHURCH'S HONOR ROLL. Junior to Bend Every Energy To ward Sale of War Savings Stamps. George Washington Council War Savings Society, Junior Order, United American. Mechanics, will meet to morrow night in Junior Hall, North Second street, opposite he Dispatch Publishing Company, and announce ment is made that it is imperative chat al lmembers attend. Plans will be furfiher laid for the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. A Neat Pamphlet. The Dispatch has received a very neat little pamphlet entitled "Techni cal Education at State College," which has just been issued' from the Registrar's office, in West Raleigh. It contains pictures of all the buildings, with full explanations of the courses and of the many advantages offered there. This is a time when people can better than ever understand and appreciate the good points of educa tion in practical, everyday things. Many Boys Attended. There was a meeting held at the Belk-Williamj store yesterday after noon for the purpose of organizing an American Boy Club. Quite a number of boys were present, and Mr. W. G. Robertson presented the outline of the organization. The boys were very much interested in the plan, which means' that they become friends and customers of the store, and will be the guests of the store at semi-annual picnics and campaign trips. Each boy present was given a year s sub , jscriDtion ta -STbe American Boy." jmeeting List of Those Members of Church Who Are Now in the Service.

Wells, of the Howard Wells Amusement Company, was elect ed president of the Carolina's Co-Op-erative Exhibitors' League, the organ- zation of which has just been per fected in Charlotte, Mr. C. L. Welsh, of Salisbury, was elected vice presi dent and Mr. Henry B. Varner, of Lex ington, chairman of the legislative committee, of the national organiza tion of moving picture men, was elect ed secretary-treasurer. The director ate Is composed of sven men, all of which were elected at the organiza tion meeting. The Charlotte Observ er has the following to say concern- ng formation of the league and its object: "About 40 men, leaders in the mov ing picture industry in North and South Carolina, representing many showhouses and many thousands of dollars of capital, met in Charlotte yesterday afternoon and perfected the organization of the Carolinas Co-Op erative Exhibitors League, with head quarters in Charlotte. Percy W Wells, of Wilmington, one of the lead ing men of this industry in North Carolina, was elected president. C. L. Welsh, of Salisubry, was chosen vice president, and H. B. Varner, of Lexington, N. C, chairman of the leg islative committee of the national or ganization of moving picture men, was named secretary and treasurer. "Seven directors were elected. "The object of the association is to provide efficient and satisfactory booking facilities and to protect both the operators and the film manufac turers in financial and other matters, it was explained. While this organ ization was described as co-operative in its working, it has been incorpor ated. "Later the organization proposes to take over the moving picture supply houses operated here by R. D. Craver and operate it in the interests of the members of the association, it was learned. The association's officers asked for and received a proposition from Mr. Craver, but, owing to the other more important matters first re quiring consideration, action in this instance, was held up. "Representatives of a number of film manufacturers attended the or ganization's meeting as interested spectators." Shaking the jinx that had persist ently folowed them through all pre ceding series, the business men yes terday, by defeating the ministers three out of five games of volleyball on the "Y" court, broke their long chain of defeats at the hand of the clergy and left the "Y" building all smiles smiling because they had ac complished that which the opposition thought impossible. Four of the five games were unusually stiff, the excep tion being the fourth when the preach ers grabbed a 15 to 2 decision, due largely to the serving of Rev. J. A. Sullivan, who had a curve that was most deceptive and which the opposi tion found difficult in receiving and returning. Ministers began in their old time form, grabbing the initial game 15 to 13, but the opposition developed strength during the next and evened the count by winning 15 to 11. The third game went the same way, the business men grabbing a 15 to 7 de cision and taking all the pep from the opposing forces which the follow ing game won by them by the over whelming score of 15 to 2 could not replace and the final game went to the -business men, 15 to 4. Both teams played under a handi cap, the bu$nss meii having too many men on the court, making a tendency toward confusion, while the losers were playing one man shy. The line-ups were: Business men, Hunt ington, Wessell, Pickard, Roach. Cates, Cockey and Hanby; ministers, Sullivan, Clausen, Goodrich, MacRae and Baker. Louis J. Poisson, Esq., referee and scorer. 1 5 OFFICER IS INDICTED Leon George is Charged With1 Forcible Trespass A warrant charging Officer Leoni George, of the plain clothes - depart ment, with forcible trespass, was served this morning by Constable John Davis and made returnable to morrow morning at 9:30 o'clock be- fore Justice John Furlong. The war rant was sworn out by Mr. L F. Hug- gins and is complicated with the warrants served yesterday by Deputy:"! Sheriff Bullard on Mr. Huggins and! his two daughters, Misses Annie LJ and Lucille, charging nuisance. An-1 other warrant was served on Missv Annie, charging assault with a deadly, weapon. All cases were returnable before Justice Furlong this morning but because of the swearing out of the warrant against Officer George all were continued until tomorrow! morning at 9:30 and will be tried jointly.
