The steps which led to the present movement, however, were taken by the council of church boards of education at Washington City in January, 1914, at which time President Kelly, vice president of that council, was directed to arrange for a joint meeting of council members and college presidents in connection with the National Educational association at St. Paul in July, 1914. At the St. Paul meeting President Kelly was authorized to appoint a committee of eight college presidents besides himself to draft a constitution, arrange a program and prepare for the first meeting of the proposed association. The program which is now issued is the result of the work of this committee. McDowell to Speak.

TURK DRAWS FINE FOR CARRYING UN

Sam Bell Thoughtlessly Transfers Weapon to Sunday Clothes. Probably some day numerous members of north end foreign colonies will wake up to the fact that Mayor Robbins' edict that the carrying of deadly weapons must cease is not to be regarded as a joke. Today Sam Bell, a Turk with an Americanized name pleaded guilty through an interpreter of carrying a revolver concealed in his hip pocket. He drew a fine of $25 and costs. The interpreter was ordered by the mayor to pass the word around again that "gun toting" had to stop. "If it continues some one is bound to get shot some day," the mayor said. The interpreter said Sam worked on the railroad several miles from town and carried the gun to protect himself but by mistake transferred it from his working clothes to his "Sunday suit" Saturday evening. Sam was arrested in the Turkish pool room on North Eighth street after a complaint had been made to Patrolman Bundy.
