SOCIALIST TRIO
DISMISSED BY
CITY COUNCIL
Sam Murray, Central Figure In
Davenport Troubles; Selman
and Strong Ousted-

Dissatisfaction over handling OF
Davenport's street work eliminated
in the dismissal last night of Sam
r. Murray, commissioner of board
of public improvements; James Sell
man, street commissioner, and
Harry Strong, city electrician.
George Koepke, alderman from
the Third war, broke from the So
sialist ranks and voted with three
Republican members for dismissa
of the trio. This made a. tie vote
and Mayor c. A. Barewald cast the
deciding vote which relieved the
men of their official position.
Carl Brown, veteran of overseas
service, is scheduled to succeed
Murray as head of the public i'm
provement board. He is not a So
cialist. Murray was appointed a
year ago. He came into Davenport
from Milwaukee Just before the
last Socialist city campaign and
has been fervid party worker, it
was claimed Murray, it was
rumored today, planned to return
to Milwaukee.
500 Men at Work.
Difficulties of the street depart
ment attracted unusual attention
since the city began its extensive
public improvement program on
which, it is claimed, 500 men are
now employed. Efforts to coerse
them into the Socialist party were
charged and those who refused saw
others working steadily while they
were frequently laid off ito rotate"
the jobs.

lice order that no bread should be de-
livered was put in effect. Richard r.

order declaring the provisions OF the vice
and immortality act. one OF which says
that It shall be Illegal to deliver bread
on Sunday. would be enforced strictly
and offenders punished.
Policemen on patrol are directed to
instruct dealers of the fact" said the
order. This applies to local as well as
out OF town concerns"
The police kept a close watch on Jer-
sey City all day. guarding the main
thoroughfares and the side streets as
well, but no arrests we're made, the
bakers apparently having decided to
make no attempt to evade the law. AL
though no bread was delivered, several
bakeries were kept open for the accom-
mediation OF customers who had failed
to lay in a supply OF bread on Saturday.
Delicatessen stores were open.
Delivery Of bread on Sunday by bakers
from West Hoboken. Union Hill and
other places In Hudson county caused
the Jersey City bakers. who had an
agreement not TO deliver bread, to COM
plain to the police their business was
being injurd BY outsiders. Chief Bat
tersby then issued an order, after the
City Commission had been consulted.

Sasso denied having any part in the

PRAYER TIME RIOT
GUSTS 1S STUDENTS
Police Interfere in fractional
Fight in Missionary Train
ing School.

Eighteen students OF the Beulah
Heights Rest Home and Missionary
Training School on Hudson boulevard in
North Bergen, N. j., were arraigned
before Recorder Arthur M. Miles in
North Bergen yesterday on charges Of
disord erly conduct growing out OF
riot that occurred at the school late
Saturday afternoon. They were ordered
to go to their homes and keep away
from the school until sent for. The
trouble arose in an attempt by the stu
dents to eject two trustees from their
rooms in the dormitories and a third
trustee from the prayer meeting room.
The row became so general that the
North Bergen police were sent for to
restore order.
The trouble appears to have been the
outgrowth of a factional fight between
e. Whitcomb, the blind president Of the
institution, and an element now in con-
troll OF the board of trustees. These
trustees. 1t is alleged, accused President
Whitcomb of admitting members into
the school Illegally. with a view to OBJ
tanning enough votes to control the or
ganization. Mr.. Whitcomb is said to
have answered these charges by tying
up the institutions bank account.
The trustees recently engaged J. Emil
Walschied, North Bergen attorney,
with view to beginning legal action to
oust Mr.. Whitcomb as president They
are said TO charge also that the Whit
comb faction elected new officers with
out recognizing the trustees wishes.
At Saturday afternoons prayer meet
ing a group OF Whitcomb sympathizers
undertook to throw out all trustees that
resided there. Miss Gertrude Harold
trustee and a member Of the faculty.
appeared at the police station later and
told Capt Simmer that she had been
forcibly elected from her room in the
dormitory at 4741 Hudson Boulevard
and that the students were then trying
to eject Miss Anna Durxs from her room
in the dor1nitory in 4735 Hudson Boule-
ward. With two patrolmen Capt. Sim
men went to the last named dormitory
and found Miss Durks in the midst Of a
pile of trunks and boxes into which her
belongings had been packed, while

women students threatened her

assigned a patrolman 10 guard Miss
Durks and ordered the men to return

evening. however. Miss Durks. Miss
Harold and Miss Anna Tozer. another
trustee and a daughter OF the fouuuer
Of the school, appeared at the police sta
