HARRISON SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS
HAVE W0RDY WAR
Appeal from Decision of Chair
Futile-Vacuum System
Cause of Row.

President Martin F. Desmond, at q
meeting of the Harrison Board of Edu-
cation, refused last night to accept a
motion offered by Commissioner John
j. Enright. When the decision of the
president was appealed from and the
motion put to Vice-President John j.
O'Neil the latter also refused to en-
terrain it. For a few minutes there
were some lively doings in the little
meeting room.
The matter of installing a vacuum
system in School No. l formed the
basis for the rumpus Commissioner
Thomas F. Lawless reminded the board
that although bids had been DIVER
tised for, the contract for installing the
system had never been awarded. AT a
meeting some weeks ago as told ex-
clusively in the Evening STAR, all OF
the bids received had been turned
down.
Old Argument Brought Up.
Since that time the matter had lain
dormant. MI. L~wless resurrected II
last night. Commissioner Enright asked
stephen u. Riordan, a local plumber,
what he WOULD do h work for. Rlor-
dan replied $3.50. This Is $500 more
than his contract figure, but 1t was ex-
planned tha the work will be more
difficult now that the school is almost
near completion. John Conway, a rep
resentative of the company whose sys-
TENS Riordan installs. wanted to ex-
plain it's working to the board, but
he was not afforded an opportunity to
do SO.
A motion by Enright AMI seconded
by Lawless that the contract be award
ed to Riordan followed. President
Desmond refused to put the motion.
An appeal by Enright from the de-
cision of the chair placed the matter In
the hands of Vice-President ONeil.
The latter said he would not accept it
either. Then the trouble began. Both
Desmond and O'Neil insisted that no
plans had ever been drawn for the
system. Enright insisted that Joseph
Kennedy, its architect. had submitted
a set, and Joseph Baker. one of Mr..
Kennedy's assistants. informed the
board that plans had been drawn and
given to the board.

WOMEN EXPRESS
THEIR OPINION Of
BORO' OFFICIALS
Call North Arlington Executive
"COrnstalk Mayor" and
Score Marshal.

Mrs. Timothy Lahey. of Albert street,
North Arlington, made things lively
last night at the meeting of the Bor-
ough Council. A month ago she sent
a letter to the board complaining that
Marshal Frederick w. Riepe had gone
about the borough casting unjust re-
Elections on her character, but as the
complaint had been referred to the po-
lice committee and she had gotten no
satisfaction she decided to attend the
session of the Council last night and
find out what the authorities %purposed
doing about her charge. With Mrs.
Lahey were four neighbors, who cor
roborated her statements, and some of
the testimony was more forcible than
elegant.
The marshal had a warrant for the
arrest of Mr.. Lahey for not sending
his two children to school regularly.
but, she alleged, instead of serving 1t,
the marshal carried it about a week
or more, telling people he met that the
warrant was for Mrs. Lahey and that
she was wanted on a serious charge.
When she heard this she got after the
marshal, and when the two met they
had a lively wordy battle that was
ItSulIltu az llC hiCttiHS iooh Gh|
Mayor William Brandenburg found
it hard to check the argument. Mrs.
Lahey capped her denunciation Of the
marshal by submitting a letter from
Chief of Police Corbitt, of this city, re-
f1ecting on Marshal Riepe when the
latter was a Newar,, special officer
twenty-one years ago.
After all concerned had aired their
grievances Mayor Brandenburg, whom
one of the women present styled a
"cornstalk mayor" because he IN
ducts a farm, directed Clerk John A.
pevine to call a meeting of the police
committee TO investigate the whole
case. Dissatisfied with the mayors
ruling, one of the women remarked:
well, Mr.. Mayor, there'll be an cleo
ton this fall

Two CLUBS IS
FORM ONE
Board of Trade and Com
merical Club Have Joined
Hands
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE"
That Is Name of the New Orga
nization To Work for
Santa Fe.

The Chamber of Commerce Of San
ia Fe will be its name. The much
talked of and long longed for ANAL
gamation of the two commercial bod
les of Santa Fe, the Board of Trade
and the Commercial Club have prac-
litalIy united into one organization
which will be known as the Chamber
of Commerce.
This glad news was announced TO
day following the meetings last night
of both the Santa Fe Commercial
Club and the Santa Fe Board of Trade
committees of both organizations pass
ing favorably on the bylaws of the
proposed new organization.
Il consider this amalgamation one
of the best things that has been ac-
complished for the good of Santa
Fe." said DR.. !. A. Rolls. president
of the Board of Trade, in discussing
| the matter this morning. 1--WE expect
that the new organization will be eff
fected within ten days and election Of
officers will then be held"
Business men were out today hust-
| ling for members for the Chamber OF
Commerce and the success they met
with seems to insure its success from
the Start.
| For a long time it was pointed out
that Santa Fe cannot support two
commercial bodies in a way that
would rebound to the city's glory
There was a hitch however, as to the
procedure to get both bodies on the
same basis, so that a unification
might be effected.
Committees were finally appointed
a month ago to draft tentative con-
stitution that might prove acceptable
to both bodies and these committees
met last night and their action was
such that the two clubs were agreed
as to the objects of the new organi
zation.
The name Chamber of Commerce
seems singularly appropriate, being
one that represents the best business
interests in the large cities of thu
United States and bright future /!
predicted for it. AS soon as the Off
. GERS are installed, the Chamber o
Commerce will be able to get righ
, down to work to look after the inter
: ests of Santa Fe.
, Such an organization can do i'm
mense good for a city in bringing il
, capital, in seeing that proper litera
ture is sent out about the CITY, ant
in having queries sent here with ;
view of investing promptly and cor
irectly answered.
Moreover, the bringing together o
the business and professional men O
Santa Fe under one roof will make
united body whenever a forwar
movement is planned for the glory O
the Ancient and now thoroughly avail
ened city of Santa Fe.

CANADIAN LIVES NICELY

Sykes of Cardston, Alberta, Canada,
paid friendly call on his stomach at
the American Stomach hospital here.
If your stomach doesn't agree with
you have it cut out. That's the way
Sykes did. The doctors a year ago
gave him one month to live and told
him he had about one chance in a hun
dred of surviving an operation. He
took that chance. Last summer he
raised several thousand bushels of
wheat on his 500-acre farm in south.

this spring to raise more wheat and
to once again enjoy life. Among 9th.
er things that Sykes enjoys are three

anything that anyone else would eat
and never felt better in his life.
