NUMBER 34

NEWPORT
Th mass meeting held at the
Commercial Club rooms Satur
day Sor the purpose of parsing
resolution recalling three of the
port commissioners for not tak
ing. more active part in press
teg th improvement of the Ya
qubia. Harbor. After counting
noaefcJt was found that the dls
wtfSstoed party was in the. minor
ity aod that the three commis
sioner slated to be recalled were
the laose careful, competent and
ennsfervative members of tho
boanL So the resolution was
with drawn and the meeting in
stead of scrapping and quHTell
ins 3 ft looked like It would be,
wm turned Into a love feast and
the bHAlheim -dwelt together in
hanaony. After a very plain,
straighttoreward statement by
Captaxn Jacobson, chairman ot
Ike commission that everything
tas being done at this time that
conk be to advance the work
and protect the interests of the
pcop5tf.' He said the commission
witt follow the law and co-opcr-ata
ttJa the Government in do
ing tne work in short the
Government will take the lead
lit the anatter and there will be
no Josses or mistakes in con
ducting the work. R. F. Baker,
one of vhe commissioners, hand
led the resolution and when he
saw the other members of the
comwfcsion were doing the right
thing he willingly apologized for
his. mistake. I think some of t he
good ysters present must have
ofleirvrt up silent prayers t:iat
caused the change of heart. St.
PfcuJ hid the same expression
when 1j his wrath he started out
to persecute good people. The
acaleb fell from his eyes and a
great light shown about him
and this seems to be ea similar
ease though not on so large a
cafe. Brother S. G. Irvin acted
aa chariman of the meeting and
Brother Waterbury as secretary.

C. S. Davis made soothing, molli
