visiting the schools of the vicinity
dnring the day, meeting with the
board of directors of Independent

His visit here. was largely to secure
knowledge of the local conditions
and needs of the public schools.
A good sized audience listened
to DR.. Sisson's address at Kent S
hall. Knowing that the people of
the vicinity of Boomers Ferry were
greatly interested in the question
of building a new schoolhouse the
speaker offered many suggestions
and dwelt particularly upon the site
question. In his opinion the site
of the new school should be located
as nearly in the center of the most
populated part of the district as
possible providing that other inn
portant qualifications would not be
sacrificed. He advised that the
new school be not erected near a
railroad track and that the ground
be we'll drained. DR.. Sisson be-
lieved that the new site should
contain not less than 10 acres or as
near that amount of land as could
be secured, and that the question
of cost should have the least con-

ADD ANOTHER
new VICTORY
High School Defeats Libby Basket
Ball Team for Third Time
This Season
FINAL SCORE WAS 26 TO IL
Many Unusual Features to Saturday
Night Contest

For the third time this season
the Boomers Ferry high school
team took the Libby team into
camp last Saturday night by a
score of 20 to IL. The visiting
team came expecting to win and
certainly put up classy game the
first seven minutes, but with the
local five going at top speed there
was no chance for Libby to win.
After 7 minutes of play, Heather
shaw threw basket, the first one
of the game. This started the
scoring and in the remaining part
of the first half, field baskets by
Kent, Campbell, Heathershaw and
Bangs brought the total up to 10.
The half ended 10 to 0.
The second half was more
closely contested. Libby took a
brace, scoring IL points while the
locals kept pegging away for a
count of 10. In the scoring
Heathershaw made goals, Camp
bell a, Kent 3, Bangs /. For
Libby, Sheffield made 3 goals,
Shaurette 2, Gray /.
From many standpoints this was
the most peculiar game ever played
on the local floor. Several unique
features not very often duplicated
were pulled off, namely; for seven
minutes of play neither team scored
while Libby failed to score the
entire half, during which time
they had but one shot at the
basket.
1t took Libby just 20 minutes to
break into the score column so
perfect was the guarding of
O'Callaghan and Bangs. Libby's
first basket through Sheffield came
after 3 minutes of play in the
second half. A few minutes later
he made another. Another pecu-
liar feature in this game was that
of 9 fouls called, 7 on Boomers
Ferry and 2 on Libby, not one
basket was thrown. Both teams
seemed up in the air" in basket
shooting especially the local team
which took fully rs shots at the
basket before a goal was made.
AT no other game this season has
the local crowd given the visiting
team such enthusiastic Support as
was given the Libby team in this
game. With the locals far in
the lead the crowd cheered for
Libby the second half in the hope
that it would encourage them to
BETTER playing. 1t had a decided
effect but the home boys pulled
all the farther in the lead. The
score the seond half was 10 to u.
Certainly no team can say they are
not treated right in Boomers Ferry
as the fans are always willing to
applaud good playing no matter
what teams are playing.
This makes 7 victories for Bon
ners Ferry in 10 games played.

RHODES FACTION
HAVE INNING
Held Meeting Sunday at Standpoint and
Pass Resolutions Disappearing
Actions Against Rev. Rhodes
GAINED CHURCH BY STRATEGY
Spokane Minister Takes Another Rap
At Rhodes

The Christian church of Sand
point is in a greater stage of dis
ruption than ever over the action
of the Inland Empire Christian
Missionary Society which on Fri
day, February 10, voted to with
draw the hand of fellowship from
]. Martin Rhodes, pastor of the
Standpoint Christian church and
former pastor of the local Christian
church. Last Sunday the Rhodes
faction of the Standpoint church
held meeting and passed resolu-
tons praising him and disapprov-
ing of the action taken in Spokane.
The Sunday meeting was called
by Rev. Rhodes and George r.
Frazier, one of the elders of the
church loyal to Rev. Rhodes. The
faction opposed to Rhodes respond
ed to the call by having new Yale
locks placed on the doors of the
church building and announcing
that there would be no meeting.
Contrary to expectations the
meeting was held despite the addi-
tional locks for Elder Frazier re-
NAMED in the church building
after the morning service until
time for the special service at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. About IS
people attended the meeting which
was presided over by Probate Judge
Woods who took the chair as an
impartial outsider in response to
special request.
Rev. Rhodes addressed the gath
ering, in part, as follows:
You all understand that the
disagreement that has arisen has
conferred about myself. l wish to
thank all present for their good
will past and present. / have no
statement to make, whatever, about
myself. | want to ask you to be as
loyal as possible to the church. I
feel that the future will demon
strate the falsity of any charges
against myself. l have done all in
my power to extend the kingdom
of God, / have done nothing inten-
tional TO create dissension and l
shall continue to do so in the
future. -
George R. Frazier then intro
duced the following resolution,
which was adopted by a rising vote
and then signed by those vot-
ing: Resolved, that we, mem
bers of the Christian church, dis
approve of the meeting of February
10. 1t was unscriptural, unparlia-
mentary against the policy of the
Christian church and unjust to ] .
Martin Rhodes. No charge was
made and no charge sustained.
We commend ]. Martin Rhodes as
a Christian gentleman and a worthy
minister to whomsoever may
come" There were thirty signers
to the paper.
The Rev. J. +. Davis of Spo-
kane, who is president of the In
land Empire Missionary Alliance
of the Christian church is quoted /
as follows in Monday mornings
Spokesman Review:
The meeting at Standpoint Sun
day was ramp meeting. Mr..
Frazier, who purports to be an elder
in the church, is not in good stand
ing, and his Office was vacated by
the church at Standpoint. Regard
less of who was at the meeting, or
who presided, the meeting was out
of order, and has no power to direct
the affairs of the church at Sand
point. 1t was merely a scheme of
Mr.. Rhodes to attempt to re-estab-
lish himself"

SCHOOL BOARDS
TO GET $4,000.
Board of Estimate Sign Certifi-
cate for Amount.

School authorities will receive
Sill 5000 for the erection of a new
building in the Budapest section and
LOT enlarglng No. 4 in upper Smith
street, according to action taken by
the Board of School Estimate last
night. The members signed certifi-
cate for that amount, after having
received and considered a request
from the Board of Education. School
commissioners concluded that such
an amount was necessary.
Following the receipt of the appli-
cation from the school board mem
bers of the estimate board discussed
the subject for about half an hour.
All the members were present as fol-
lows: Mayor Ferd Garretson, Alder
man-at-large Weaver, Alderman
Clark. and Louis M. Rossi and John
X. Sheehy, of the Board of Educa-
tion.
This was the third application
made by the school board for funds
before the certificate was finally pass
ed last night. The first request was
for 500, 600, for which a certificate
was passed by the estimate board
1t was later found that more money
for school extensions would be need
ed, and the certificate was with
drawn, the school board asking for
$125, 600 the second time, which the
estimate board thought too large.
Then followed some pairing by the
school board, and the reduction of
the amount to s115, 900.

Notorious Robbers of East Side,
Police State.

In the arrest of the two men
charged with stealing four horses,
two wagons and two sets of harness,
valued at $500, from Jens NJ. So
renson, contractor, OF 601 Sayre ave-
nue., the police believe they have
taken in custody two notorious New
York East Side horse thieves, who
may have been operating in New
Brunswick and this vicinity for some
time.
The men were arraigned this
morning before magistrate in Jer-
sey City, where they were arrested
about IL o'clock yesterday morning
as they were about to drive the
stolen teams on ferry to cross the
Hudson river into New York They
were then turned over to Detective
Sergeants Long and Huff on formal
warrant sworn to before Recorder
PicAersgill by Mr.. Sorenson. The al
legged thieves will be returned here
some time today to await arraign-
ment before Recorder Pickersgill
tomorrow morning.
1t has developed that 1t was the
quick work of Chief of Police Burke
that lead to the arrest of the men,
as they were captured at the Jersey
City ferry within about one-half hour
after the patrolman stationed there
had received the message from head
quarters. 1t happened that tele-
phonic connection between police
headquarters of that city and the fer
ry was out of order, and a meessen-
ger had to be sent to the ferry pa
trolman. This required time, and
within only thirty minutes after the
patrolman was notified the stolen
Perth Amboly property was espied by
the officer being drawn to the Terry.
He, with a roundsman, stopped the
two men and brought them to police
headquarters. One was fully armed,
carrying long thirty-eight calibre
revolver in his right hip pocket.
Detective Sergeant Huff was de-
tailed to scour the south and south
western part of the county and fol-
low up the section leading from this
part of the county. Detective Ser
geant Long took the north and north
western section, searching the roads
as he continued his hunt northward
into other counties. The wagons we're
tracked to Kinsey Corner and Metu-
chen, the men having separated at
the former place. At Metuchen they
took the old stage road leading
through the outskirts of Railway and
Newark to Jersey City.
Both detective scrgeants were in
automobiles and Mr.. Sorenson ac-
companied Sergeant Long. At IL
o'clock Chief of Police Burke re-
ceived the notification from Jersey
City that the men had been arrested,
Sergeant Long had reached Passaic
from which place he called up about
this time. The chief sent him from
Passaic to Jersey City, so that he and
Mr.. Sorenson could identify the
stolen property. The chief then went
to Jersey City by train. Mr.. Soren-
son went to Jersey City with the de-
tective sergeants this morning, and
sent two men to bring back the
horses and wagons.
The men arrested seem to be about
twenty-five and thirty-flve years OF
age. They claim, however that they
had just come here Thursday night to
get the horses. at the instigation of
the real thieves, who they say used
them as dummies. One OF the men.
h wever, is reported to have been no
ticed in the vicinity of the scene Of
the robbery during Thursday.
