The clock sinijy wouldn't fill the bill ... and we hud to leave it out today. In Saturday's Times the hand pointed to $G5, 000 and that was the clock's capacity. But that was not the capacity or the limit of Raleigh. For at Saturday night's meetiugMhe graffd total for the V. M. C. A. building fund was run up to $75,454. It Is probable tUat.no meeting was ever held in. Raleigh in which there was so much enthusiasm and such genuine and united desire to be of service' to the city as .was manifested la this meeting. Eight days before a campaign of ten days . had been launched for a $65,000 fund for a 'Y. M. C. A. building. Two hundred men1' had entered-actively Hpoit tue canvass1 to raise the fund. Tuey were full of hope from the start. They believed in Raleigh and be lieved they could not fail. But they didn't wait for success to come to them. They went after it. They worked and worked hard and when as the sum total of their efforts, it .was announced at the Saturday night meeting that $75,404 had been pledged, ten thousand more than they went out for, and at tho end of eight days instead of ten days, they had a right to go wild with entuus iasm. " And the friends of the move ment who filled the galleries and the ladles on the floor who had done so much to aid the work, also joined in tho demonstration. Cheer after cheer was given, cheers for the cause, cheers for the leaders, cheers for the ladies. It was a scene and a demonstration that will not be for gotten by anyone present and tin? remembering of which will serve to keep Raleigh people better and more closely united for all good causes than they have ever been before. At seven o'clock, the hour for the meeting, the hall was well filled, the workers being in their places, there also being several interested guests at the various tables. The gallery, too, was pretty well filled at the opening and later became crowded.- The meeting was opened by singing "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow," and then the banquet was served.

The four divisions of the fleet are 1 spread over a distance of 40 or 45 miles. With their big guns the battleship will fire at canvas screens stretched be tween masts on heavy rafts. These will be towed by a fleet auxiliary, and a battleship steaming at 10 miles an hour, 6, 7, or 10 miles away will direct Its guns upon the target. After the single vessels have had their turn at shooting, the fleet, in' two divisions will j direct its guns simultaneously in rer j pelting torpedo boat attacks and re- ' cording the tiring on the target screens will occupy several night.

(By Leased ire to I lie Times) Washington,- April . : ;1 Lvcrv in- conuii!; train today brought' (Iimiio cratic and republiciin senators and representatives for the extra session of the ti2d congress.' which opens at noon tomorrow. The democrats have i already held then- caucus and out-: lined their legislative progrum tor : the first session ol which thev have, been in control in lb lean and bun- i grv years. The republican in the minority for tho first time tor tho; same period, will c miens lonight.i Representative Mann, ol Illinois, will undoubtedly be chosen tin; minority leader in tho lower house. j President Talt is today putting tho finishing touches on his message to congress. As tomorrow will be given up to the matter of organization the presidents recommendations for legislation probably will be sent in nt noon on Wednesday. It is expected the greater part of the president's message will be given up to recom mendations, for Canadian reciprocity and that if he touches at all npon tho tariff question he will urge that this legislation bo avoided nt the present session. The democrats are of an other mind, however, and the chief issue will be made that of tariff, as it has been in the two preceding cong resses. All the national legislators who are on tho ground expect a long ses sioiii Speaker-elect Champ Clark ad mits that he would be surprised If an adjournment came before Septem ber 1. Consideration of the Mexico situation will require some time, as will that relation to the publicity of campaign contributions before and after elections, the election of United States senators by the people, reap pointment and resolutions, regarding the investigation of the executive de partment. Then the tariff will lie taken up and this will consume the greater part, of the session, especially schedules I and K. Following that Canadian reciprocity will be brought forward and the conclusion of this will find everyone willing and happy to go home. The convening of congress has brought together democratic leaders from air sections of the United States. William Jenning Bryan and Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, are on the ground, and Governors Dix, of New ' York, and Woodrow Wilson, of Nerw Jersey, are expected. Leaders in the house are satisfied that the session in that branch will j be harmonious.
