.SIX-HOUR PULPIT
FILIBUSTER KEEPS
OUT NEW MINISTER
Blind Pastor breaches All After

POLICE ARREST FIVE.
Scuffle in North Bergen Church
Ends in Victory for Trustees
Over Incumbent.

North Bergen church people were
divided to-day In bitterness over
yesterdays battle for his pulpit by
the Rev. Ernest Whitcomb, blind
pastor Of the Evangelical Church of
Jesus. Actual hostlities ceased
when the police intervened after the
blind minister had held his pulpit by
filibustering sermon he preached
for six hours The appearance of
the police eliminated in the arrest
of five members OF the congregation
for disturbing the peace.
Decided differences have existed
between the pastor and the trustees
for several weeks. The trustees have
charged the Dastor did not coutine
himself to the spiritual welfare OF
the church but acted arbitrarily re-
garding business affairs and ignored
the authority Of the trustees. At a
meeting OF the trustees last week,
despite protests by friends Of the
blind pastor, the trustees declared
the pulpit vacant and appointed the
Rev. Howard NJ. Moss to his place.
A committee, which included Cyrus
NJ. Robinson. Maynard Ketchan,
Clarence Tebo. Rex A. Thompson and
Ernest f. Morris, went TO Pastor
Whitcombs home yesterday after
noon and led him to the church. Mr..
Robinson and one or two others took
seats behind the pulpit and regarded
the trustees as they dropped IN for
the afternoon service with Christian
but determined fortitude.
President Harry d. Smith and Will
lam Tozer OF the trustees held a
whispered consultation with the Rev.
Mr.. Moss in the church entry and
determined to allow Mr.. Whitcomb to
continue until he was tired out rather
than have an open break by seeking
to eject him.
This plan was discarded, however,
when women members of the pas
tors party appeared after he had ex-
tended his remarks on the text until
o'clock and laying a cloth on the
table in the pulpit, set out a light
hot lunch for him 10 eat while the
congregation was singing a hymn.
Al this point Mr.. Moss, accom-
panied by Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Tozer,
advanced to the pulpit and asserting
the property rights Of the trustees
told Mr.. Whitcomb he was a tres
passer and asked him to leave the
building. He firmly refused.
President Smith went out and came
back with two policemen. who went
to the pulpit and took the sightless
preacher by the elbows. At this point
there was considerable confusion.
One OF the policemen asserted Mr..
Robinson hit him. At any rate, ef-
forts to eject the preacher were sus-
pended while the committee was
taken TO the police station. When
they had completed the formallties
OF furnishing $500 bail each they went
back to the church and escorted Mr..
Whitcomb, who had been awaiting
their return to learn the legal status
Of the case, TO his home. Many OF
the congregation followed.
The Rev. Mr., Moss then entered the
pulpit and preached his evening SER
mon. The subject was Peace"

To-day is the hrst day OF spring

mems waistcoats disappeared, "heav-
ies' were discarded, Piburbanites' con-
versation regarding seeds and gardens

appeared.
But, despite the greener appearance
OF the grass and the tulips pushing up
for air in City Hall Park, the Weather
Bureau issued a warning. There will
be a thunderstorm late this evening
or tonight and II will be colder. AL
though it will again be warmer to-
morrow, it will be topcoat weather,
according 10 the Burea1.
New York, in fact, is in the path of
southwest storm, according to the
Weather Bureau. Warnings issued

Eastport, Me. A storm over the st.
Lawrence Valley is said TO be moving
eastward and strong southwest winds
will shift to the northwest tonight.
The thermometer reached IA degrees
yesterday afternoon, the hottest
