to the government and gives Morales
undisputed control in that portion of

LADIES TELL A QUEER STORY

Last night reporter of ssThe Jersey
City News met two ladies coming out
of meeting in the Summit Avenue Bap-
tist Church. They told him that there
had been lively row inside over a
proposition to enlarge the church. The
plans were drawn by man named Nc
Peek. they said, and had the approval
of Rev. Mr.. Swaffield. They were pre-
sented at the meeting last night and the
row began.
Our church is plenty large enough =
said one of the ladies, "and our debt is
large enough. 1t is pretty time to talk
of enlarging the church when the debt
is more than we can pay and we haven't
one dollar in the treasury to jingle against
another. The amount of it is that they
want to saddle it on few of us who
have money, but we won't stand it,
When they called for those in favor of
it only about forty stood up. Then the
pastor talked a lot about it and managed
to get twenty more up. About sixty of
us kert our seats and many of us finally
left to show that we do not approve of
the course that is being taken. They're
wrangling over it yet.''
When the meeting was over the re-
porter saw Secretary Hunter, who gave
this version of the meeting:

I would write something about it and
send it to the papers. We have been
considering plans for improving and en-

for an extension of IL feet on either side

entrances to the upper and lower rooms

Improvements are made the church will

the seats will be arranged in amphi-
theatrical form. Mr.. McPeek drew the.
plans and he says it will only cost $1,000
to carry them out. Mr.. Swaffield has pre-
sented an excellent plan by which we can
pay 1t all off in four years. All of the
congregation are in favor of it. We were
unanimous in appointing a committee of
five to interview the people of the church
and get their views. They will report on
April 20. The committee are:-Thomas
Jenny, William Cochran, Charles June,

also voted unanimously for an increase

Luke Farley and Albert Fuchs, two of
Hoboken's phenomenal bad boys, were
taken to the Reform School today by
Constable Frank Haag.
James Halieran and George and Au-
gust Holzhacker, three dtrty-face little
urchins, aged 13, IA and II years respec-
lively, were committed for trial by Re-
corder McDonough of Hoboken this
morning on a charge of larceny. The
boys have been arrested a number of
times for stealing, but on account Of
their ages they have escaped punishment.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Fallon
caught the trio carrying off about forty
pounds of lead pipe from the plumbing
shop of George P. Runton, at No. 10O0
Clinton street. The youngsters dropped
their booty on seeing the detective and
attempted to escape.

three, ran upstairs to the apartments of
Mrs. Mary Callahan, at No. SIS Clinton
street, and hid under a bed, where he
was afterward discovered by the police.

A vote was taken and when the result
was announced Leonard had fifteen votes
and Tang seven. Leonard was
declared nominated
After the vote was read George Daub
one of the delegates, arose from his seat
and said:-
Mr.. Chairman, I was accosted before
the convention met by Guisto who told
me If didn't vote for Leonard ] would
have to look for my bread and butter
somewhere else
Guisto interrupted the speaker and de-
clared that he was out of order. The
chairman called both the men to order
and they resumed their SEATS
At the close of the meeting Guisto
denied that he had made any such state
ment to Daub, but the latter declares pos
itively that he did

 ''Interdependence is one of the fruits of church life. What can one or two do alone for the church? Not one man nor two men make up the diocese, but it takes all to make it up.
