Correspondence relating to the recent ; decision of the Rotary club to view as ,' a. "closed incident" the controversy of some weeks ago over the "bonus" is sue was made public 'yesterday. It consists of a letter from Acting Secre tary Broadfoot, of the rfotary club, to "the committee of service men" and o.the reply of Walter H. Blair chairman of the ex-service men's permanent or ganization. The Broadfoot letter in " eluded a copy of the letter from the Rotary secretary-general to Louis Moore, then secretary of the Wilming ton club, conveying the suggestion of .. the general board that the matter be "considered a closed incident." Mr. Blair's reply carries the state- ment that "as far as we are concerned, the matter is not closed, nor will it ever ba closed, in its present status." The correspondence follows in full: Letter From the Rotary Club To the Committee of Service -Men: "Subject: Bonus Bill. "Gentlemen We herewith submit gfce following decision of the Interna tional Rotary executive committee un der date of August 24, 1920: "Louis T. Moore, Rotarian, ' 'Secretary the Rotary Club, "Wilmington, N. " 'My Dear Louis The Wilmington i resolution came up at the board's meet ing for earnest and sympathetic dis cussion and it was agreed that the sec 0 retary-general say to1 the Wilmington club that the board concurs in the rul ing given to the club by the district '"'I governor, but in view of the fact that the club had taken action in the ques tion before receipt of the district gov ernor's ruling it believes that it is best that the whole matter be now ' considered a closed incident. " 'Yours Rotarily, ; " 'CHESLEY R. PERRY, " 'Secretary General.' "As to the decision of District Gov ernor Davis, mentioned in the above, we quote the following from his let ter of June 4, 120: " 'I urge that you do not pass any resolution in connection with this bill, either for or against the bill. I base this entirely on our constitution.' . "All of the above was received after action of the' Wilmington club had been taken and we regret that we did not have this information at that time., Sincerely yours, "WILMINGTON ROTARY CLUB. "By Wm. Broadfoot, Acting Secty." Sir. Blair's Reply "The Rotary Club, Wilmington, N. C: "Gentlemen As chairman of the ex service men's organization, your letter to the ex-service men's committee has been handed to me for reply. "Our attitude towards the Rotary club will be one of absolute indiffer ence. We have the t satisfaction of knowing that you were j wrong in the action taken by your organization, re .garding the bonus question, this fact being borne out by the rulings of your district governor and your interna tional executive committee; only parts of which were quoted in your letter of the 1st instant. "If the Rotary club is willing 'to treat the matter as a closed incident, without an honest effort to right a; wrong, even though your action was taken ignorant of the fact that you were violating your constitution, all well and good. ' We accept your state ment as final, unless your body sees fit to re-open, the matter. ' . "So far as we are concerned, the matter is not ; closed, nor will it ever be closed, in its present status. Deep down in the hearts of hundreds of e servlce men there will linger a feeling of resentment, which your club could prevent, and should .prevent, if "you are sincere In your desire to stand for all things which tend towards the up building of a greater Wilmington, and abide by the constitution of Rotary. "We sincerely regret that the bonus question has been the cause of Ro tarian Louis T. Moore resigning as sec retary of the club, for we realize that his services, so cheerfully given,' have meant much to your organization. , To be perfectly frank, however, we are unable to see how he could have dkne otherwise. We believe Louis Moore's stand has been made upon principle: to obey constituted authority; to ac knowledge a wrong, and engender a ' sipirit of .true fellowship between Ro tary and ex-oervice men. His name, along with a few othera, -who are known to us, as having J stood so staunchly for what we mutually be lieve to be rigbt, will ever be held in J grateful remembrance. To the other' members of the Rotary club we can only say: 'Thrice blest is he, whom heaven sends, to help the helpless make amends.' Respectfully, v "WALTER H. BLAIR, "Chairman Ex-Service Men's Perma nent Organization." JVEGRO HELD FOR THEFT John McKoy, -colored, charged with stealing more than $600 worth of cigars V at the railroad yards, was arrested .yesterday by Special Agent A. L.

One-Man Cars ToojMuch for Dad9 Leclair; Likes Switching Better r Advent of the one-man cars on the i i -'-V lines of thei Tidewater Power company y here has caused old "Dad" LeClair' - one . of the oldest motormen in the service of thei traction' company, who I has served faithful years to relinquish . his controller handle and brake wheel, as he does not possess : the agility to - manipulate the intricacies of the one ; man trolley. But '"Dad", has been pensioned by the company. ; V - The mere fact that , "Dad" had to i; 'step down from the cars togive place .to youngermen in the service, or be cause he has received assurances from Raymond ; Hunt, general .manager cf i the Tidewater, that he will be taken Vicare of for the rest of his life, doos t , not keep "Dad", from continuing to V- give the company service. Now every - day during the rush hours ."Dad" can ; be seen sitting in a chair at Front ' and Princess street , changing ) the A switch for southbound cars ; and for ' those operated east on- Princess street. ; "Dad" is known by almost everyone Accountant Jests As Death Hovers O'er Him Just Before : Time Set for Just two hours prior to the time he was ' to, board a ' train for New r York city, George N. Waitt, Jr., died sud- denly at 5:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon-at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. WalLade Smithy 107 North Sixth street. He was a, well known resident of this city, where for ten years, until recently, he had been storage accountant at the Seabpard Air Line, terminals. Death resulted from heart failureV Mr. 'Waitt was dressing, in prepara tion for his intended tripT when he suf fered heart aflliction. Mrs. Smith, his sister, heard him call and went to his aid. She later' telephoned for a physi cian. In the meantime, Mr. Waitt ral lied and conversed in a humorous vein with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. On arrival of Dr. W. Houston .Moore, medicine was administered and the condition, of the patient improved and he continued his conversation in an even lighter strain, laughing and apparently well on the road to recovery. But at 5:05 o'clock, another attack, affected his heart and he died. . . DR. PRICE COMING TO START ANOTHER REVIVAL MEETING - : Noted Evangelist, Who Won Wilmingtonians Last Year, to Preach In 5th Ave. Church ,Rev. Dr. Thurston B. Price, who at tracted such crowds . to his revival services last year that scores had 'to be turned away disappointed, will re turn to Fifth Avenue M. E. church this week to conduct another series of evangelistic meetings similar to those he held in May, 1919, at Grace M. E. church. Dr. Price will be assisted in his services here by Mr. and Mrs. J. Dale Stentz, who are rated among America's leading religious singers. The revival will begin this morning with services conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. H. McCracken, and every -effort will be made by the pastor and mem bers of the Fifth Avenue church to accommodate all who attend this and the succeeding services -of the revival. Several hundred chairs have been pro cured and these will be used In the church when they can be conveniently placed. The lecture room, which opens into the church auditorium facing the pulpit, and the class rooms on' either side will be used to enlarge the seating space and it is hoped seats will be provided for 1,000 persons. Doors and windows will be kept open to insure ventilation and committees are working faithfully to make the services even more successful than those which Dr. Price previously held here. Few preachers have come to Wilmington and won their hearers so heartily as did this evangelist and those who enjoyed hearing him at Grace church will recall how would- be listeners were turned away during! the last two weeks of Dr, Price's re vival because they could not crowd I into the edifice. A. similar experience is expected to follow the present serv ices, which will" continue two or three1 weeks, as Dr. Price is reputed to be simple, clear, logical and forceful in his sermons, which are said to make an especially telling human appeal. Augmented Choir to Sing The singing of Mr. and Mrs. Stentz Is expected to be an added attraction and visitors to the evangelistic services are urged to come early. Mr. Stentz has a powerful, sweet-tonQd voice and is pronounced by many to ce the best religious soloist in America. - In ad dition to the singing" of Mr. and Mrs. Stentz, the former will have general charge 'of the congregational staging-. He will be assisted by a choir of fifty voices, culled from among the best singers in all th churches of Wilming ton, the choir having been organirod by Wilbur R. Dosher. r Dr. Price and his assistants are now closing a revival meeting in Statesville and will reach Wilmington tomorrow, after which - they will assume full charge of the local revival, fin prais ing Dr. Price on the score of his pre vious services here, a " committee of Wilmington ministers said: "We would shun the use of superla tives and., all exaggerated forms of speech in this 'statement. No "good comes of loose and reckless statement. We certainly are free from such when we say that TJiurston D. Price spke with great effectiveness f f 'utterance in rebuking sin and with tfne clarity of statement in instructing those who seek the better way; and showed com mendable tact in dealing with men and situations. Wilmington has had, at one time or another, all the leading evange lists, such as Moody, Jones Torry and Chapman but none has pleased more than he." SAYU M: V CHINE . STOLEN W. R. Windley reported to police headauarters last night that his touring ;ar nad been stolen. 'H ' stated he parked his car on Market street between Front and Second and it was moved' between 7:30 and 9:30, "-Mr. Windley stated that the machine bore state license tag, number 83288. that has ridden on the belt line cat's during the'last decade. His carefulness in handling a trolley car attracted the attention of most all of his passengers.! And too, he whistled nearly : all the while, and this, no doubt, . has , caused comment from thousands of persons. "Dad's" pastime is nhirtg. There Is nothing that "Dad" enjoys more, un less, it is to smoke a cigarette. And how he does love to smoke.. All the while "Dad" sits in his chair at Front and Princess street craning ;hfs neck to ascertain if it Is necessary to throw the switch for the approaching . car, he has a "burner"- in his mouth. But to get back to the sport that the old inan likes to indulge.' When 'Dad" took a day off he .immediately armed himself with rod and reel, and hied it for the . beach. "And here in the inlet he. waded out knee deep and cast for hours. If he caught any tning;he was happy, but if the .'bhiea'" were not running, h wai lust as hap py.'' , v- :.

Superintendent Graham is anxious that . the committeemen of the city schools rorrn a similar association. As the city schools open later than the county schools, there is time for such an organization in the city. In the county association, there are 15 dis tricts represented.

VOGEL'S MINSTRELS r MAKE A MERRY HIT Dancing, Singing and Jokes Win Favor From Large Audi ence at Academy f ... 1 : The Star-Spangled Banner" is not a recessional for a theatre, a . church or a! battlefield. Its rendi tion in the Academy of Music last night, as the audience was making J its exit,; '.was a musical- faux pas ana served to mar the otherwise en joyable performance. - In the con fusion, even service men found it impossible to stand at "attention," and it Is to be hoped that the na tional anthem shall never again be subjected to such misuse in Wil mington," Popular favor is not fur thered by such untimely and taste less playing of a piece that is honor ed in the heart of every true Ameri can. B. N. S. J Dancing of artistic merit, vocal num bers largely above the ordinary and merry jokes that mostly carried a laugh in stock were features of "John W. Vogers Big Fun Show," which appeared before a large audience in the Academy of Music last night. In divual members of the caste scored hits that' won them bursts of approv ing applause and the combined action of the various numbers served. to present a pleasing attractiveness. The show opened with ''The Black and White Revue," during which Har- ley Morton and Nat Dantzic, the end men of the merry sons of Momus, managed tp. get aoross a large part of the evening's fun. Though he has a good voice, Artnur uoc ; aamson leaves much to be desired afa an in terlocutor, Jacking .the pep nWessary to give emphasis to his points. In their dancing tricks, Atkinson and Rice proved their merit as expon ents of unusual steps. Their move ments were as nearly in unison as it is. possible for disconnected dancers to achieve and they put into their steps a comic touch that won favor on eve'ry hand. The show carries one of the vocal rareties, a male soprano. ' He Is Edgar Arnold, and his voic was so genuinely feminine that it seemed hard for some of the audience to believe that he- was not a woman disguised as a man. He is lacking, however, in Hogarth's lines off eminine shapeliness. Minstrelsy's master musical moke, Mr. Morton, performed successfully during the olio, while Mr. Dantzic's stage presence enabled him to score without the aid of more than his facial contortions, there being a gruff ness n his vocal chords that robs him of a singer's sweetness. He is good, how ever, .and left nothing but favor behind him. , Armond Melnotte, Jemaje Impersona tor, near contralto singer and other wise a comical exponent of stagish ness, was long and loudly applauded during his olid skit. The program for the evening was not carried out as printed, but the substituted per formance, -which ended with a hilarious plantation singing and dancing medley, made It apparent that Vogel's show has lost none of Its popularity In Wil mington. OFFERS "BARGAIN" IN "MONKEY" RUM LANDS IN JAIL Would you pay $1.75 for a Coco-Cola bottle filled with home-brew corn whisky That ?is the price Chester Burnett, colored, is said to have been Offering that quAnity oI "monkey" when he was arrested by the police at Jacksonville, N.;C. The negro was brought here yesterday by A. B. West; United States deputy marshal, and lodged In. the' c,ounty jail for trial in the federal court.- Deputy West sa.ys that the negro was very opea In his operations. The officer says Burnett attended the to bacco sales at Jacksonville and made a specialty of selling- the bo6ze in Coco-Cola bottles to visiting farmers.

W. Cole man.. The ice is first delivered, it was explained, but the money for it is col lected on the' return trip: The "Kid," a negro, also known as "Pinch-back, and sometimes answer ing to Alexander Bffker, his real name, it is said, trailed the wagons of both the Plate Ice company and the 'Inde pendent . Ice company, collecting the moneyi before the men on the wagons returned. Among the alleged contributors to Baker's bank' roll yesterday were the following firms: Gieschen's cafe, Girsh's - clothing store, Green's drUg store', and the Delk-Williams depart ment store. , r Defective Coleman said he had 'sus pected Balder for some days, but was not able to obtain sufficient evidence for his arrest until yesterday. The op erations not ' being unusual, suspicion did not fall on -an outsider at first. In cases :of attempted double collection, mistake, rather than dishonesty, was thought to be the cause, it was said.' WORKING TO HELP DISABLED SOLDIERS Chances for Training Offered by U. S. to Be Explained By Agents ' C. C. Cashwfill was notified yester day by the federal board for vocation al training, that he had been named to make a tour of the Sixth congressional district of this state for the purpose of impressing upon the men wounded in France, the opportunities the gov ernment is offering in the way of vo cational training. The. campaign of the district will last sixty days. Mr. Cashwell will leave the city to morrow for Raleigh where, on Tues day with representatives from all other congressional districts, a con ference will be held with C. G. Schultz, district vocational officer, of Atlanta, for the purpose of explaining just what their duties are to be. There are many young men in this district, as well as in other parts of the state, who lost limbs or received serious wounds in France and who do not understand what an opportunity for education and training the govern ment is offering. Mr. Cashwell says that the federal board provides courses for the men at the foremost state colleges and will pay them a minimum of $80 per month while they are studying. He says ihere are at present many disabled soldiers taking courses at the University oi North Carolina and at the Agricultural and Engineering college. STUDENTS ENROLL FOR K. C. SCHOOL Ex-Service Men And Others Will Attend More than 60 persons, practically all ex-service men, have registered with A. P. Hury, of the Knights of Co lumbus school, for night classes which will be conducted here this winter under th auspices of that organization. Mr. Houry is carrying on the work of registration at the Legion hut. Reg istration will continue until the 20th, said Mr. Houry. In view of the fact that hardly half of the time for regis tration has elapsed and such a good showing made, it is believed the classes will be large. ' , Accountancy and Spanish have been the most popular so far,, the majority of entrants having signed up for those subjects. - When asked what was the prospeot of a location for the school, Mr. Houry declared that this : feature of the work was not in his hands, but would be attended to by G. F. Gray, supervisor of the schools, who first ap proached T. E. Cooper, chairman of the board of education, with reference to the housing matter. There have been offers, said Mr. Houry, since the board of education could not permit the use of the high school. However, it is believed no great trouble will be experienced in this particular. Among offers received has been that of the Motte Dusiness college rooms at 105 Chestnut street, said' Mr. Houry. . W.
