CHOIR PICNIC ON DESPITE EFFORT TOR INJUNCTION i Row in ‘Gypsy Smith' Body Continues in Face of Peace Move, Final arrangements for a picnic by the “Gipsy Smith Choir” in Garfield Park at 3 p. m. were completed by the Joe Overmeyer faction, despite efforts by the opposing faction to prevent the outing under the name of “Gipsy Smith Choir.” As announced by Overmeyer. who. in his notice of the picnic, styles himself “director,” there will be a program by the choir in the municipal theater. Attorneys for the faction headed by E. Howard Cadle vainly sought an injunction to prevent use of thfc choir name. The case will be heard in September in Superior Court. Despite the fact that Overmeyer and four or five others incorporated as the choir, they are not the choir, Attorneys Orbison and Zechiel said. They are handling the Injunction suit for the Cadle faction. Efforts to pour spiritual oil on the disturbed waters following prayer meeting in the Cadle Tabernacle Friday night by singing “He Loves Everybody, He Loves Me” were useless, and the row continued today.

Safety First When you read of someone being killed by an automobile, you are shocked. Yet you are liable to go right out the next day and be killed or kill somebody yourself. If you drive at a breakneck speed or ignore signals or try to beat a moving street car, you are liable to kill somebody else. If you try to cross the street without looking or step from behind one car in front of another, you are liable to be killed yourself. And both will be the result of carelessness.

a saving of $558,000. This levy is two cents lower than this year but due to increased property valuations will bring in approximately the same amount of money.

COUNTY OFFICERS IN OPEN BATTLE OVERORPHANAGE Two Commissioners Fail to Attend Meetrng to Discuss Plans. The three-cornered battle among the board of county commissioners, the county council and Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, as to w'ho shall dic.tate the terms on which the muchdiscussed county colored orphans’ home, to cost $150,000, shall be built, de% r eloped Into an open split this afternoon. Two of the three county commissioners, John Kltley and Albert Hoffman, president of the. board, said they could not attend a Joint meeting at 2:30 in their office. Kitley is head of the Acton Masonic Lodge, which had initiation, and Hoffman pleaded business. Harry Tutewller, third member, attended. The council, which holds the purse strings, has refused to appropriate the money unless it has a hand in naming the architect and letting the contract, It was said. Refusal to attend the meeting to get the home under way -was nothing but side-stepping duty by the commissioners, councilmen asserted. If the place is not built, it •will be due to contrariness of the commissioners, they said. Commissioners said they would order Fesler to call the council in session every week "from now on" until the money was appropriated, and that if it were not, the lack of a home would be laid at the council's feet by “an Indignant public.’*
