Plans Laid to Observe
Birth of English Bible
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 14.—
Bible “still completely overtops all
other ‘best sellers’,” Dr. Samuel Mc
Crea Cavert, general secretary of the
Federal Council of Churches said to
day in a statement calling attention
to the 400th anniversary of the first
translation of the New Testament
from Greek into English, to be ob
served this year.
Only one copy of the English Bi
ble, printed by William Tyndale, its
transpator, is extant, the statement
said, and it is at Bristol, England.
Tyndale’s life and work will re
ceive special attention during the ob
servance, which will bring forth ex
hibits of rare biblical editions by
university and public libraries.
“Tyndale’s work shaped the whole
course of succeeding translations,
from the famous Coverdale Bible to
the King James version in 1611,” the
statement continued. “Pastors and
Sunday school workers are being I
urged by the council to stress the |
improtance of this anniversary thru-1
out the year. The translation of the |
Bible from the original tongue, Tyn
dale’s heroism and martyrdom and
the power of the priuting press, are
subjects suggested for discussion.”
The International Council of Reli
gious Education, Chicago, is promot
ing interest in the movement, as are
the American Bible Society, the Am
erican Library association, and the
National Association of Book Pub
lishers.

Offices of House Members
May Cost U. S. $3,000,000
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 14.—
Congress has left up to David Lynn,
architect of the capitol, the problem
of a survey for a new building to
house the offices of representatives.
It has given him $2,500 for the job
and expects him to report by the
opening of the sixty-ninth congress
next fall.
Senators already have two, three
or four office rooms apiece, but
house members have but one room
each, in which to receive visitors,
hold conferences, and house three or
four clerks. To give each represen
tative two rooms is the object of
the survey which Mr. Lynn is called
upon to make.
Two definite proposals hav« been
advanced. One is to build within
the court of the present house office
building a structure nine stories high
at an estimated cost of $3,000,000, to
provide 375 rooms. This plan also
contemplates raising the present
building one story. The other pro
posal would be to construct a new
building nearby.
In the old days only chairmen of
committees had offices proivided for
them at the capitol. Other members
had their offices scattered all over
the city, in their hotels, and in
downtown business buildings.
A recent headline on our favorite
sporting page bewails the fact that
‘Princeton Eleven Will Lose Thir
teen Men.” It can’t stand to lose
many more.
COUNCIL MEETS LAST
NIGHT; REPORTS HEARD
NEW MEMBERS SEATED
The city council met at the Town
hall last night at 8 o’clock, at which
time reports of the various officers
were filed, and the newly elected
members were seated. The treasur
er’s report showed a balance of over
$4,000 with several thousand yet due
from the schools.
Mayor Ray in a brief address
thanked Councilman Carl E. Orlan
der for his great interest and help
ful work during the past two years,
and declared the retiring member
to have been of great assistance to
him in managing the affairs of the
city. To Mr. J. H. Flickinger he also
returned thanks for his willingness
to devote his time unswervingly to
the city. Both councilmen have
served the town well and should re
ceive the thanks of the city for their
services.
Councilmen McMullen, Helm and
Selby were sworn in and took their
seats.
Ray Explains Future.
At this point Mayor L. V. Ray ex
plained at length his ideas for the
government of the city for the com
ing year. Mr. Ray believed that
with the consolidation of the offices
greater efficiency w'ould be maintain
ed, even if salaries remained the
same. He opposed a cut in the sal
ary of the health officer, stating that
it was the best insurance the town
had against sickness, and he be
lieved that the parents of small chil
dren realized the importance of
checking any illness or epidemics in
time. He spoke at length on the ne
cessity of economy in city affairs,
and dwelt upon the efficiency of the
fire department, calling attention to
the fact that Seward had suffered
no fire losses to any considerable
extent in the history of the town,
and that this was due to the vigil
ance of the fire chief and the co-op
eration of the citizens. Mr. Ray told
of the many times that watchmen
had been placed on fire patrol on
windy stormy nights in order that
citizens might sleep with greater se
curity.
Street Improvement Necessary
He stated that considerable street
improvements were necessary and
that the city’s moneys must be care
fully expended to that end. He also
paid tribute to the schools of the
city, and declared that he believed
in improving them and giving more
room for those pupils now in school
and those yet to come.
Organization was withheld pend
ing the arrival of Councilman Ells
worth, whom the members believed
should be considered in starting off
the affairs of the new year. Sever
al improvements were postponed, as
well as the cemetery proposition ir

order that these matters might be
disposed of after organization, at the
next meeting.
Mayor Ray informed the city clerk
and fire chief that they would con
tinue in office until their succes
sors were appointed, and the pay
rolls were presented and approved
for the fraction of a month ending
April 14.
At Monday’s meeting organization
will be perfected and considerable
unfinished and new business be tak

Tourists In Austria Rebel
When Hotels Mislead Them
INNSBRUCK, Austria, Apr. 13.—
Because there was no snow in the
mountains, as set forth in an adver
tisement, a group of Englishmen has
entered suit against a travel bureau,
asking for damages, railroad fares
and hotel expenses.
The English tourists were in Inns
bruck, seeking winter sports, but the
weather was so mild that nowhere
could they find snow or ice. They
read an advertisement of a certain
resort saying the snow was, or soon
would be, deep, and the skating good.
So they traveled thither, only to find
on arrival that the reported snow
was a myth, and the lakes all open.
Aggrieved and out of pocket, suit
was begun against the travel bureau
responsible for the misleading an
nouncement.
