GOOD ATTENDANCE, AND SEV-
ERAL MATTERS WERE DIS-
CUSSED—ACTION TAKEN
The Board of Trade held its rhg-
lar monthly session Friday night. The
attendance was good and several im-
portant matters were taken up and1
acted upon.
Anse Moore was .appointed to look
after the dragging of the Edhube
road.
Will H. Evans and Chas. Howard
were added to the entertainment com-
mittee for the Girls’ Canning Clubs
which will have their annual county
meeting in Bonham on June 9th.
A committee composed of Ed
Weathersby, C. E. Bowman and will
Nevill was appointed to assist the
j Free Kindergarten ladies in securing
subscriptions sufficient to defray the
operating expenses of the school. The
Association voted $30.70 to help
defray the past year’s expenses.
The Secretary was instructed to
have the population oT Bonham
changed from the present figures
shown in hotel and railroad guides of
Texas.
The Board went on record as op-
posed to the fire insurance companies
of the State being granted a 33 1-3
per cent increase in rates as they have
asked for The Secretary was in-
structed to file such protest with the
insurance commission at Austin.
The committee on good roads was
present and recommended that the
I Board appointed a committee to se-
| cure sufficient signatures to petition
i the Commissioners’ court to order ar^
j election for additional bonds sufficient
j to complete the good roads to the
district lines. The committee is com-
\ posed of T. B. Wiliams Ed Weathers-
j by and L. Bailey.
Fire Chief Stevenson was present
I and discussed the matter of low’ wa-
. ter pressure which badly handicaps
, the department in fighting fires.
! After considerable discussion as to
! best plans to pursue, Mr. Stevenson
| was authorized to invite a fire pump
I demonstrator to come here and see
j what could be dqne in reference to
the purchase of a pump for the fire
truck.
There being no further business the
session adjourned.

More Than Can Be Accommodated
Asking For Seats.
J. G. BOWLES DEAD
J. G. Bowles, age 62 years, died at
The biggest worry connected with
the Billy Sunday revival at this time
is satisfying the clamor for reserva-
tions.
Tomorrow night five thousand
seats will be reserved for the busi-
ness women of Kansas City. The
whole Tabernacle was asked for and
could easily have been filled for there
are estimated to be forty thousand
business women in Kansas City,
There are daily, requests from or-
ganizations of thg^city for night res-
ervations and only part of these can
be handled.
rom out of town the requests con-
tinue to pour in by the scores and
will complicate matters later in the
campaign.
A great deal of dissatisfaction has
been expressed by membefs of the
choir who have been unable to get in
the night meetings. It is the policy
of the committee to reserve seats for
the members of the two choirs not
scheduled to sing each night, but
when the remainder of the tabernacle
fills these seats are always thrown
open to the public and the meeting
starts. This is in acocrdance with
the announcement to start the night
meeting at 7:30 o’clock or as soon
before as the tabernacle fills. It near-
ly always fills before that hour and
hence the cause of dissatisfaction on
the part of the choir members who do
not come early.

the trial if McGoun is brough
here, Mayor Lindsley ^aid. j
A vague invitation to the Mayor
join him in the coffee business is
extended in the letter ? by ‘McGoun,
w’ho speaks of the chief executive’s
business acumen” in presenting his
proposition.
McGoun is virtually^ “broke,” he
says in his communication. He has
now less than 300.
“On the way down help I lost con-
siderable money,” he writes. “At Rio
de Janero I tried to recqperate my
losses. I went from there to Sao
Paulo and I lost the remainder of
what I had except the small amount
of $300, as above stated.
McGoun says that John Mqrgan,
who was indicted by the Dallas
County grand jury along with him-
self, is innocent of any connection
with the alleged embezzlement of city
tax money. Morgan, he adds, knew7
nothing of his (McGoun’s) pl&ns.
Whatever action is taken' in his
case, McGoun declares, he intends to
pay back dollar for dollar in Dallas.—
