CAUGHT HERE
immigration Law Evader Picked Up
Here by Alma Officers.

Ambrose Buckley, a Canadian inn
migration law evader, was picked up
here this week by Oscar Vibber, chief
of police and this morning was
turned over to a United States inn
migration officer.
The man will be returned to the
border and will be deported to Can
ada as an undesirable citizen.
In the fall of 1917 Buckley evaded
the immigration laws and came into
the United States through Port
Huron. Since that time an active
search has been kept up for him.
Some time ago he was located here,
but before he could be taken, had
gone to Saginaw and then Detroit
Very recently he came back to
Alma and Oscar Vibber again located
him and locked him up, and notified
the immigration officers who came
here after him.

WAS CONVICTED
pr. r. c. ThOrnburgh Convicted by
Jury in Justice Myers Court.

Following a hot two-day legal
battle between c. II. Goggin, attor-
ney for DR. Frank c. Thornburgh of
this city, and Ora l.. Smith for the
people, DR.. Thornburgh was convict
cd by a jury for a violation of the
public health laws. Immediately fol-
lowing the conviction, notice of ap-
peal to the circuit court was made.
The case was started last week
Wednesday morning, continuing
throughout the day and until late in
the evening, when court was ad-
journed until Thursday morning. The
case was then continued and held
through until l1:00 p. m. when the
jury returned its verdict.
The case was an outgrowth Of the
alleged violation by DR.. Thornburgh
of the quarantine at the Worden
home in October Albert Worden had
been taken i'll and DR. T. J. Carney
was summoned. Feeling that the
disease was Spanish influenza, notice
was posted on the house to that eff
feet. Later doctors were changed,
a Mrs. Holcomb from Mt. Pleasant
being called in. She in turn called
in DR.. Thornburgh for consultation.
The influenza sign at the Worden
home was taken down and sign "No
Influenza" appeared in its place.
This was removed and an influenza
sign put up, and thep this was taken
down and another "No Influenza"
sign appeared in its place. This was
removed by the health officer and an
influenza sign again put up.
Following a discussion with the
health board and the mayor war
rant was secured for the arrest of
DIR Thornburgh for a violation of
the health laws, and following sew
eral postponements the case was
brought to trial this past week, re-
sulting in his conviction on the
charge.

TWO MEN FOR EACH OFFICE

BE Opposing Mayorality Seekers
at Primary.

At meeting Of the committee of
the Board of Trade held Tuesday
evening the names Of two candidates
for each Of the Offices Of commission
an for mayor were submitted, and on
Wednesday night the list was heart
lily endorsed by the directors Of the
board
The committee found some little
difficulty in securing the consent of
some Of the men to enter the lists in
the primary race for the Offices, but
after some little argument, those who
were rather backward about it were
convinced that they should run. 1t
was pointed out 70 them as a duty
which was owing the city.
The names Of Henry II. Soule and
Chas. r. Murphy were submitted as
the two candidates for the mayoral-
ity office under the commission, both
men having finally been won over TO
make the race. The committee felt
that in the choice of these two men,
il had selected the best two men
available to make the run, and from
"a Pl NooAO4lo lltciu dlOuiih bitt NlIJ
yesterday, the feeling is held that
either man will make Alma a mayor
that the city can well be proud Of.
The list Of commissioners submit
ted shows the names Of only two Of
the present aldermanic body, these
being 4. l.. Smith and John c. Chick.
The six other men chosen TO make
the run by the committee bring out
some of the best known business men
of the city, notably Chas. G.. Rhodes,
Frank +. Pollasky and p. W. Creas-
er; c. O. Ward and Floyd H. Glass,
members Of former councils, and A.
j. Archer complete the list.
1t is not yet certain which Of the
eight men will seek the long terms
as commissioners and which will seek
the two-year terms. This will be
known in another week.
II is expected that the petitions for
these men will be circulated at once
and that they will be on file long be-
for the time limit, February Ia.
The committee feeling the need of
the best possible men to get the COM
mission form started off in the right
way, used its best efforts in lining
up men Of experience in business and
city affairs, and feels confident that
it selected a list that will meet with
the hearty approval Of the public.

COMMITTEE IS
AFTER ACTION
interviewing President Alfred
of p. NJ. Regarding a
New Depot.
FACTS TO Be PRESENTED
Members of Council and Board Of
Trade are Working in Detroit
Today.

A committee consisting of three
members from the city council and
three mebers Of the Board of Trade
left this morning for Detroit on a
trip, which it is hoped will be the
means Of Alma's securing a new pas
senger depot from the Pere Mar
quette and Ann Arbor railroads.
Those from the council to go to
Detroit were appointed two weeks
ago, these being John Chick, j. M
Montigel and Nelson Fullerton. The
men from the Board of Trade who
are on the trip TO Detroit for this
purpose are c. F. Brown, president OF
the Board of Trade; ID. L. Johnson
the secretary of the board, and II. II
Soule, the well-known contractor and
builder. In addition to these men
John White, city engineer, was taken
along to discuss the more intricate
problems which the committee will
place before the railroad officials.
The proposition for a new union
passenger station for Alma will be
Put up TO the railroad officials by the
committee in a straightforward bus
mess manner and every effort will be
made to fully impress the railroads
with the Importance of Alma, anc
with its rapid growth, which warrant
a better station.
If it happens that the committee
finds that a new depot cannot be OBJ
tanned from the railroads the matter
Of an addition to the present station
will be taken up, but not until every
possible effort has been bended for
the new station.
Some of the members of the com
nittee are feeling confident that the
appeal for a new union station car
be strongly impressed upon the of
ficials in this way. and that if the
depot can be secured, that this bust
ness method of going after it, will
be the one means which will enable
the city TO procure a station suitable
for the city.
Yesterday a telegram was received
from President Alfred of the Pere
Marquette railroad, in response TO q
message, asking for a hearing or
Thursday. He consented to meet the
Alma delegation at his offics IN De-
troit at 2:30 this afternoon.

EXCAVATION WAS
STARTED MONDAY
Church of Christ Building New
Place of Worship on Its
Property.
TO COST ABOUT $4,000
New Structure Will BE Located on
Lot at Corner of Superior and
Court Avenue.

The construction Of a new $4,000
place of worship has been started by
the Church of Christ on its property
at the corner of Court and East Su-
perior streets, which promises to be
one Of the finest church edifices in the
county, once it is completed.
The plans for the building have not
been entirely developed as yet, but
will be before the basement has been
excavated. This work was started
Monday with a large force of men.
One of the reasons given by Rev.
Raum for the early start on the build
ing is the fact>t that a number of men
are out Of work, and will cheerfully
work cheaply, until they can again
get back at their old positions. In
this way it is expected that about
half of what it would ordinarily cost
TO eXcavate the basement will be
saved, and that at the same time the
men are being employed, instead of
being idle.
The building which is to be con-
structed, will be about 60x90 feet, it
is expected 1t is to be constructed
of hollow tile, brick veneered, with
sandstone trimmings, and will be
modern in every respect.
The size of the building, and its
seating capacity will depend some
what on the response with which the
church meets in Alma. 1t is seeking
some assistance in its efforts to con-
struct this church, and if il meets
with the response which is expected,
the church will have a seating ca
pacity of about 900, so that it may be
used as an auditorium for public
gatherings. Rev Raum, when inter-
viewed Tuesday, called attention TO
the fact that the city was now with
out a suitable place for large gather
ings, a thing which is badly needed
in Alma at the present time.
In case the church does not meet
with the results which It's quiet cam
paign is expected TO achieve, the
church will have seating capacity
Of 600, and will be somewhat smaller
that 60x90 feet. This will probably
be definitely known within another
week
When he was asked when the
church would be completed, Rev.
Raum said that it would probably be
fall before it would be ready for use,
owing to the possible delays in the
procuring of materials for construc-
ton, notably steel.
Both Rev. Raum and the members
Of the building committee of the
church entertain high hopes that the
eff orts which they are making will
meet with the approval of the public,
and that the assistance which is need
ed in building the church large
enough for an auditorium which will
take care of large gathering, will
be forthcoming.

THREE GAMES
Alma College Basket Shooters Are
Facing a Tough Week.

~The Alma college basketball team
are facing a hard road trip during

The Olivet team will be played to-
night at Olivet, while Ypsilanti will
be played at Ypsilanti on Friday
night. On Saturday the Maroon and
Cream will tackle the All-Fresh.
This combination of games furnishes
the hardest weeks work that the
Maroon and Cream vail bump up
against this season.
Hpsilanti is reported fully as
strong as last year, and promises TO
force the locals TO the limit. The
a small score on the local court,
which would seem to almost preclude
a victory over the All-Fresh on their
home floor
The Olivet game is the only
Michigan Intercollegiate bout of the
week, and being played first the To-
Gals have every hopes of being able
TO pull in this game. The Olivet
gymnasium is a small one and will
handicap the Helmerites TO some ex-
extent, however. Coach Robinson be-
lieves that Alma can annex at least
one of the other two games.
The entire team is in good shape
for the road trip, every man being in
the finest Of condition for some
gruelling battles, and promises to
make things good and lively on three
different courts. Robinson will carry
a good bunch of substitutes with
him, and will probobly use seven or
eight men in each game.

BOARD Of TRADE
BACKS CONCERN
Moral Support Given to Carbu-
rotor Company at Meeting
Held Last Night.
SEEKS WORKING CAPITAL
Large Number of Board Members
Are Buying Treasury Stock
Now offered

An enthusiastic meeting of over
sixty members of the Board of Trade
was held at the First State bank last
evening at which time the matters
pertaining to the Western Carbure-
tor company were taken up. Before
the meeting had ended those who
were present were certain that an ex-
cellent future lies before the COM
pany and the Board of Trade has en-
dorsed the concern, and many mem
bers Of the board, who were present,
turned in stock subscriptions for
themselves.
ID. l.. Johnson who had been APP
pointed at a recent meeting TO go
over the books of the company, made
his report. 1t clearly indicated that
the previous report made to the
board by the officials of the company
had been correct The report was
such that the entire assemblage felt
certain that the Western Carburetor
company is a proposition which offers
a fine Investment, once that it has the
necessary funds needed to carry on
the business.
1t is the plan TO take the 100000
worth of treasury stock and place
this on the market in order to secure
the funds which the company needs
to enable it to carry on the business
in the extensive way which will be
necessary.
a lack Of working capital and the
war kept down the work Of the COM
pany. The examination of the books
revealed the fact that it had orders
for $500 carburetors week for a
year, carburetors which could not be
produced owing TO the circumstances
The sale of the treasury stock will
insure a large working capital and
enable the company to start quantity
production at once, and the members
of the Board of Trade, after hearing
the reports about the concern, and
feeling confident that il offered a
good investment, endorser the COM
pany, and almost every member pres
ont at the meeting agreed TO lend the
company his financial support. d. l..
Johnson was the first man in this re-
spect, with a stock subscription for
S5OO.O0. There were several subscrip-
tions during the evening for this
amount, and some are forthcoming
for larger amounts, and many for
smaller amounts.
II. II. Prescott, a highly capable
factory manager from indianapolis
will have charge Of the production
at the factory.
Mr.. Eggleston, who is located at
the Wright House. will be glad TO
meet anyone who is interested in the
stock and explain the condition Of the
! concern to them.

COLLEGE WINS A
HARD FOUGHT TILT
Wins Its End of Double Bill as
A. HI. s. Five Take Defeat
from Saginaw.

Friday evening in the first end of
a double bill the high school basket
ball quintet was defeated by the Ar
thur Hill five of Saginaw by a score
of II to 13, the Hillites forging to
the front in the final moments for
the victory.
The locals took the lead at the
start of the game and held it until
well into the second half. At the
end of the first half Alma was lead
ing the Saginaw five by two points,
and the fans We're expecting that
the team would finish on the long
end of the count.
In the final half Huebner Of the
visiting team broke loose with five
field baskets, the work of the center
alone being what enabled Arthur
Hill to pull a victory out of the fire.
The teamwork of the locals and
their basket shooting did not seem
quite up TO standard in this game.
Several times the ball was thrown
away when a chance offered for a
basket

TO AID IN FIGHT

That the city Of Alma is to take its
own part in the telephone rate war
in which the telephone companies are
seeking to "standardize" their rates,
was made certain Tuesday evening
when the city council appointed Ezra
l. Smith TO look after the city's in
terests in the big legal battle which
is pending before the commission at
Lansing.
Efforts are being made to get all OF
the cities affected into one working
organization in order that the fight
against the raise in rates by the
companies may be fought to better
advantage, and because the cost, by
pro-rating among the cities, would be
much smaller.
