MEMS LEAGUE
SCORES AGAIN
Magistrate Holds Another
in Vice Crusade.

The Mems Church League OF the
borough Of Richmond, of which City
Magistrate Joseph B. Handy, is prcsi-
dent scored another point in court on
Friday when Magistrate Marsh presit-
ing in the second district court at sta
pleton, held Frederick Kingsiuger in
81, 900 bail for special sessions.
Kingsinger was the proprietor Of the
saloon in Stapleton, where Thomas Nc
Grath, who was the bartender, was con-
victed the week before and sent to the
county jail for SIX months. William
Winters proprietor of another saloon
in Stapleton, has also been arrested.
He was in court at the same time with
Kingsinger, but his hearing was put off
until this week. 1t was in the latter
place where Rose Sidders, who was con-
vieted and sent to the county jail
tended bar.
Kinslnger was represented in court
by former Congressman Montague Les
sler and Winters has retained former
District Attorney George Piuney, of the
county Of Richmond.
These arrests are following q vice
crusade that is being conducted on the
Island by the league. Both Winters
and K~ingsinger' s licenses have been re-
voked by the state excise board which
means that the two places will be closed
for a year anyhow.

RIOT ON TRAIN
ON THE ISLAND
ROWdys Start Fight and
Break Car Windows.

There was some need of Commits
siOner Waldo's rowdy squad on
Staten Island last night, when a
small riot was in progress on a train
of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
railroad after it had pulled out of
the station at %StapletOn shortly after
1920 o'clock. The train, which left
Tottenville at 1902 o'clock last
night, was in charge of Conductor
Williams and Engineer Allen, of Tot
tenville. At Grant City and New
Dorp a gang of excursionists got on,
most of whom, 1t is said, were in q
fighting mood when they entered the
train.
Just after the train pulled out of
the station at Stapleton a battle royal
started among themselves. In the
melee nearly every window in the car
was smashed and the place looked
like a wreck when the train pulled
into st. George. Engineer Allen
sounded his whistle for help but
when the train pulled into the station
at st. George the r~ingleaders made
good their escape. 1t is said many
went with battered faces, with
clothes and hats pretty well torn up.
Following this it is believed Commits
sioner Waldo will send his rowdy
squad to Staten Island, as in other
parts of the greater city, as was done
Yesterday.

THE GARBAGE
AT KEYP0RT
Complaint About Dumping
on Site for Tank.
spsoioI 90 the EVENING WE'VE.

Keyport, June ia complaint
was said to have been made to the
Board of Health to the effect that
the Borough has been allowing the
dumping of garbage and refuse on
the property recently acquired from
DR.. o. c. Bogardus, for the site of
the septic eve tank.
1t was also stated on good author
ity that the Board of Health noti-
fled the borough officials to discon-
tinue the practice at once as a move
of that kind would be very injurious
to the health of the citizens, and
they would not stand for anything
of this sort in the borough limits.
The mayor was eel and said that
this story about the Board of Health
sending a notice to the borough
council was all a matter Of talk so
far as he knew. He also said that
only a few loads of garbage were
dumped on this property and this
was only until a permit could be OBJ
tanned from the owners of the pres
ent place, the garbage is being de-
posted upon.

mix-up took place at the station here
last night in which passengers and

that Conductor Edward Davis, of a

ing some trouble with a passenger
coming up from the shore. When
the train stopped here the conduc-
tor was standing at the foot of the
steps of one of the cars and the pas
senger alighted and struck him. Da-
Wis defended himself and a tussle en-
sued, the passenger trying to get
back on the train. AS he did so he
hit a man who was standing close by
waiting for a train Tor Freehold.
The latter man had several friends
with him and when they saw their
companion hit, they took a hand In
the fray, so that for a minute or two
there was quite a lively time. 9th
ers soon interfered, however, and
the affair quieted down without any
arrests being made.

ORIGIN OF A SONG
History of "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale"
Touching Little Dirty Composed by
an iowa Physician Fifty Years
Ago Has Since Been Sung
Around the World.

Des Moines. Iowa.-Not SO very
long ago the writer attended a great
religious convention. ThCfe were
thousands of people in attendance,
There we're great speeches and great
singing. The influence of this great
meeting was SO inspiring that hun
dreds of men marched the streets with
banners bearing appropriate notices.
Nearly every convention has a favor
lite song The favorite song at this
convention was, 1.-THE Little Brown
Church in the Vale" and 1t was sung
with an enthusiasm that would make
any one want to come to the church
in the wildwood or anywhere else
where a church might be located.
The town of Bradford. Iowa. has to
do with the history of the song. The
ners would call it. are of the New Eng
and type and shelter a class of people
who stand for moral. intellectual and
religious development.
In 1859 or 1860-or thereabouts-
the good people of Bradford resolved
to build a church where they might
worship God and teach their children
the Importance of Christian living and
Christian service. h times were
close and the people were poor; but,
being masters of circumstances and
not their abject slaves" they con
quered the hard times and their pow

came forward with a generous dona.
