SAY CHURCH MEN
BROKE INTO HALL
Christian Endeavor Workers
Wanted to Dance-Warrants
May Follow.

Warrants will probably be sworn
out tonight In Roseland for the ar
rest OF a party of six young men,
who, after having attended a meet
ing of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety of that borough, are said to
have broken into the clubhouse of
the Roseland Band Association with
the intention of holding dance there
without paying the usual fee With
tho young church men when they
made their way into the hail are said
to have been six young women.
Besides being used as a clubroom,
the Roseland Band Association
quarters are used by the Borough
Council and Roseland fire depart
rnert as a meeting place.
Last night the fire department
held a regular monthly meeting
there. The session was INTERRUPTED
by the party of twelve who ap-
peared in the front porch. singing
and dancing.
Councilman Wallace Bush. who is
also a member OF the fire department
and a trustee of the Roseland Band
Association. was present and went
out and asked the young men what
they wanted. The reply WAS that
they wanted to hold a dance. He
then told them that they could use
the hall providing they paid small
amount to cover the lighting expense.
This they refused to do and went
away.
The suspicion of those present was
aroused and it was thought that the
would-be dancers would return after
the meeting had adjourned. The lights
were extinguished, but not before
Wallace Bush, Morris Meeker and Al
fred Booth had decided to do lit
tie detective work and had secreted
themselves under a pool table.
Shortly after the lights were ex-
tinguished footsteps were heard
again on the front porch. and a voice
was heard to say: Get in through
the window and unlock the door"
This order was soon followed out and
one of the party was soon inside. The
men who were playing the sleuth
roles decided to wait until the entire
party was on the inside before they
showed themselves, and in few mo-
ments the door was unlocked and the
dance seekers were in the hall. 1t
was then time to act, and, carefully
coming from under the table, one of
the detectives turned on the lights
and the other two carefully guarded
the door to cut off escape.
After taking their names the merry
party of a short while before was al
lowed to go, with the understanding
that some action would follow.
Wallace Bush stated today that the
trustees of the hall would hold a
meeting tonight to decide whether or
not warrants would be sworn out.
