BANQUET IS CRITICISED
BY CONVENTION CHAIRMAN

Fred L. Waldron, chairman of the
civic convention, severely criticises
the Moana Hotel management on the
score that the banquet on Tuesday
night was inadequate. He says:
Heretofore have always been an
advocate of none of our local clubs
interfering with what should be hotel
patronage. After the three dollar per
plate alleged banquet at the Moana
Hotel, given in connection with the
civic and commercial convention
and which banquet was disgrace to
the management, win certainly not
make future objections to the various
clubs looking after the catering Of any
public or semi-public affairs. Of this
kind.
The Star-Bulletin asked the hotel
management If it wished to make a
statement in reply to Mr.. Waldron,
but it is stated that the management
prefers to say nothing. No other COM
plants have been received, it is learn

BELL RINGERS BURN SCHOOL
Youthful Fourth Of July Prank Sup
posed to Have Cost Port Jeffer
son $4,000.

Port Jefferson, l.. 1.-The local au-
thorities are making an investigation
of the origin of the fire that totally
destroyed the fine building of the Port
Jefferson high school, in the belief
that the fire was started by youths
who entered the building to ring the
bell as welcome to the Fourth of
July.
1t has for several years been the
ambition Of certain young men to
ring the school bell early on the morn
Ing of the Fourth. In previous years
they have failed, and 1t is believed
that this year they succeeded. and
that they accidentally set the build
ing afire while lighting their way
about with matches and fed without
giving an alarm.
The fire was discovered shortly af-
ter midnight. The school stood on
steep hill and the water pressure was
80 poor that although firemen from
neighboring villages were summoned,
the flames could not be controlled.
The building was valued at $4,000
