FOOTBALL YS.CHURC
GAMES BARRED ON THANKS
GIVING DAY MORNING.
East Orange School Board Revives Puri-
tan Custom, but the High
Boys Will Play.

Whether football games played on
Thanksgiving Day morning by High School
boys while services were being held in the
churches was responsible for keeping
many people from going to ehurcht before
the turkey dinner, was the question that
confronted members of the East Orange
Board of Education last night.
The commissioners decided unanimously
in the affirmative, and passed a resolution
stating that in the future the High School
is not to play a football game In the city
on the morning of Thanksgiving Day.
The discussion began when President
William G. Thomas said he Lad been APP
preached by several church VINO
told him they did not think 1t right that
the teams should play games While people
were in church offering up prayer OF
thanksgiving.
Mr.. Thomas announced that personally
he was opposed to the games being played
on the morning of that day, and thought
the commissioners should take action OPP
posing the practise of the boys.
Other members of the board advanced
reasons as to their belief on the question:,
and seemed to think the board should look
favorably on the claim of the churches
and stand behind them on the matter.
Religious thoughts were expressed by each
member. and the custom of the Pilgrim
fathers in making a golden rule always
to journey to the various churches anp

spend their time in chasing 2 pigskin was

MEOW STOP
THE CARR Oh, SUCH A TIME!
ventriloquist Has Lots of Fun on South
Orange Avenue Trolley Car to the
Confusion of Puzzled Conductor.

Several South Orange High School
pupils, q 'mysterious" cat, dog and canary
bird combined to make no end or trouble
on a South Orange avenue trolley car yes
terday afternoon.
The fun started after the car had left
the centre of this city. The High Schooi
girls began to giggle and the boys started
to crack Jokes on the conductor, such as
Say, Mister Conductor, call a cop, a man
just took u seat" and "A man Is hanging
inside-on the strap" when suddenly some
one shouted fiercely, Stop the car!'
The conductor pulled the bell so hard
that the motorman jolted everybody from
their seats. The conductor waited a
minute. but no one arose to leave the car,
and the girls giggled again. They stopped,
however, after the car started, When the
"ki-yi's' of Il dog seemed to come from
under the seat where they sat. The girls
jumped up and screamed.
The conductor quoted them and threat
ened to put the schoolboy who, he thought,
had Initiated the dog off the car. The
threat was of no use, however. for a few
minutes afterward a cat meowed in the
stove and seemed to fight to get out.
The conductor ran in, thinking some of
the schoolboys had put a cat i'll the stove.
and opened the door, but there was no
cat. Then happened something like q
panic. The High School pupils began to
change seats, ard the conductor was be-
wildered, stlll shouting threats.
Just when the next TWO blocks had been
passed, stop the cart was again shouted.
just as it did halt a canary bird began
to chirp. and the passengers began to look
for the cage, but it was invisible.
This came as a climax and the con-
ductor threatened to call a policeman at
the next block, but the mysterious sounds
in the invisible menagerie seemed to dis
appear when a tall. dlgnlfed-looking man
left the car at Mum avenue. He had
been seated in n corner of the rear end
of the ear. busily engaged reading a news
paper during the trouble, and seemed TO
be greatly annoyed by the disturbance.
AS he left he winked at the man opposite.
He was a Ventriloquist.

Plan of Relief for Crowded Conditions
Favored by Board-Janitors Need
Not Shovel Snow Hereafter.


The East Orange High School problem
again came up for consideration at a
meeting of the Board of Education Of
that CITY last night, and Commissioner
Richmond, chairman of the building COM
mittee. presented a tentative plan for re-
lief that met with favor. 1t is the inten-
ton of the board to purchase a strip of
property extending from the rear section
of the High school out to Walnut street,
north, upon which are situated two dwell
ings. IT is the belief of Mr.. Richmond
that the ouses could be used for pupils
until an addition to the school or a new
one is erected, and 40 pupils could be

Mr.. Richmond also expressed a BELIEF
that in three years time the old High
School would be used as a city hall. He
also stated that In a short time additions
would necessarily have to be made to the
Columbian, Eastern and Elmwood schools,
but 1t would be absurd to attempt any
school building owing to the present
financial conditions.

ing topic during the recent election cam

Councilman Thomas A. Davis said the
Council would nave nothing to say about
expenditures for the departments after

not fair to have any tags on the sums 10
be given, and suggested appropriating
enough money for a working start for the
two new bodies.

minority leader, and the carefully pre-
pared resolutions appropriating the sums
were amended to give $4,000 to the Police
