SMITH CORRECTS ERROR OF REPORT

"Is it true that your brother is bringing $250,000 of new gold to this country from Alaska?" Arthur Smith, of tho Second National bank, was asked today. "It is not," he answered emphatically. Mr. Smith's brother, Lynn Smith, formerly of New Castle, is in the jewelry business at Ruby, Alaska. The presence of F. Smith and his wife at Seattle with one-fourth of a million dollars' worth of gold dust brought there led to the mistake. The gold dust was brought on the steamer Victoria from Nome, Alaska.

With the " Reel People

Hedda Kuszewskl, who saddened the hearts of compositors by accepting an offer from the Lubin Company to create one of the principal parts in the feature photoplay production of "The Light at Dusk," in which the evolution of a Russian peasant furnishes the novel theme, is the victim of the loose suspicion of the average American editorial skeptic who believes that nothing can happen to an artist without the connivance of a press agent. Mile. Kuszewski arrived in New York and reported at once at the Lubin studios in Philadelphia. The following day she made a visit to the shopping section and lost a valuable solitaire diamond ring, a gift from a nephew of the Grand Duke Nicholas. Edgar Lewis, who directed "The Light at DuEk," at the Washington tonight, volunteered to advertise at once for the lost jewel, but, to his surprise, the Russian artist put an emphatic veto on the proposal.

Eliza Hiatt and Naomi Harrison Jay, both very dear friends, and members of the Friends Meeting, joined in the service; Mrs. Hiatt paying a beautiful tribute to the deceased in the recount of her life as it came under her personal knowledge. MrB. Jay followed with a few well-chosen remarks bringing to a close with a season of silence which was broken by the singing of "Nearer My God to Thee," by Miss Ruth Harris. The service of music was very effective in the use of the organ by Miss Gaynelle Hageman during the gathering of the friends and in the playing of several familiar psalms and hymns passing them away in the soft and distant strains of the echo organ. Flowers came from friends in great profusion, completely covering the pulpit. Rer. J. S.

The last general appeal of the industrial development campaign committee is appended:, To the Citizens of Richmond Tomorrow Is the final day for the $100,000 campaign. Sixty public-spirited and progressive citizens have put in two weeks of hard work raising this fund for a Greater and Grander Richmond. The fund today stands at approximately $85,000. We believe that everyone in Richmond desires to see the $100,000 fund completed tomorrow, and the news go broadcast that Richmond has succeeded in its great preparatory Etep for a national campoign for industries. These loyal men who have given so unselfishly of their time and money to the city cannot be expected to keep up this work indefinitely. It is an imposition upon their generosity. So the campaign committee is going to ask the citizens of Richmond to cooperate with the committees tomorrow, and help them to complete this fund. If a committee calls upon you, subscribe to the best of your ability. If no committee calls by noon, call up the Commercial club and state that you desire to subscribe, and a blank will be sent by messenger. Subscriptions to any amount of $10 and over will be received, The completion of this fund menas much more than the mere raising of $100,000 and the securing of more factories. It means progress in everything that builds communities; it means a new spirit of progressiveness; it means a bigger, better and busier city. The committees will make their final report at 6 p. m., tomorrow and

all subscriptions should reach .the Commercial club before that time. - Yours for the Greater Richmond, CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. John M. Lontz, Chairman. " " Henry Gennett. ' - S. E. Swayne Adam H. Bartel. James A. Carr. Wm. H. Romey. Edgar F. Hiatt. George E. Seidel. Charles W. Jordan.
