DAVENPORT AGAIN
ATTACKS HOLMES
Insists School Department Head
MiSled Him

Clifton Y. Davenport between
whom and Stanley II. Holmes. su-
perintendent OF schools, there has
arisen a controversy over the trans
Ter OF Mr.. Davenport's son from the
Stanley 10 the Smalley school, has
written an open letter to the board
OF education stating that he is fully
In accord with the action taken by
the members at a recent meeting in
voting unanimously 10 have his child
sent to the Smalley school. He
states that he did not object to hay
ing his son sent TO the Smallcy
school. but did object TO the use OF
alleged unfounded or false reasons
for transferring pupils from one
school to another. But he again
claims he was misinformcd.
Mr.. Davenport's letter reads as
follows:
ITO the school committee. City OF
New Britain, CT:
Through the daily press I am in
formed that your unanimously vot-
ed at a recent meeting approving the
transfer OF my son to the Smalley
school. With that action ! am in
accord as you will see by carefully
reading my letter of the 4th instant
do not question the propriety OF
requiring attendance within divi-
sional lines. do. however, object
to unfounded or false reason for
making a transfer, and that was the
basis OF my preceding letter.
Our superintendent is reported
as saying at the meeting that no
false statements had been made. His
statements may be termed incom-
petent, improper, vaccilating, mis-
clading, false, untrue. or Just plain
Wing. The facts follow. Your chair
man stated to me that the divisional
limo for this vicinity is Allen street,
that those residing on the south side
thereof must attend the Smalley
school, and those on north side, the
Stanley school. This was confirm
alton Of what the superintendent
had stated to one member of your
committee. There are thirteen chill
dren on the north side OF Allen
street, between the railroad and
atwart street, who are attending the
Smalley school; and 10 compicate
the disgusting inaccuracy OF our SILL
perintcndent there is attendance
, from this same north side Of Allen
! street at Stanley School. Therefor dc
you marvel that We feel a gross mis-
statement has been added to the in
Justice perpetrated by an inefficient
superintendent? When he was SC

MAY REORGANIZE TEAM
Blue Army Basketball Team MAY Be
Changed to Represent e. d. G. at
Meeting Tonight.

Plans are on foot to re-organize
the Blue Army basketball team in
the inter-church league to make it
not a Blue army team but an Every
mans Bible class team. The team
then would represent the entire Or
ganization instead OF Just a part of
it.
Two reasons for the proposed
changes are the serious illness OF
several players in the present team.
which threaten the withdrawal from
the league II no improvement can be
made and the fact that the other
two armies in the class did not
enter teams this season.
A meeting will be held thtis eve
ming at 1880 o'clock In the gym OF
the Central Junior High school OF all
members OF the class interested In
the formation OF Bible class team.

NUCLEUS NEW INDUSTRY
 BEGUN BY LEATHER WORKS

Of especial interest is the announce ment of MT. Mount, proprietor of the Seward Leather Works, that he now has on sale cans of refined bear grease The grease has been pre- pared by MT. Mount, the expert leather worker, which assures it to be of the highest quality. He has filled many cases of cans of grease aleardy, each can of small size, having a neat wrap per around it and on which directions as to it's proper use have been print ed.
 A large quantity of bear grease was obtained by Mr Mount some weeks ago from one of the local guides. It is his purpose to secure as much more as he can with the idea of in troducing his product turnout the Ter ritory and later, possibly, in the States. The outstanding feature for the grease, he claims, is it's remark able adaptability to leather having the peculiar tendency of making shoes waterproof, yet at the same time, sof- tening the leather. The grease which sells for moderate sum is expected to enjoy a wide sale.

to order it's discontinuance or even the
release of Carson, who was convicted
Of violating the liquor law. carson
has not vet eaten his second loaf or
rye bread and last night he COM
planned he felt weak.
Further legal efforts also VIII De

who was sentenced with Carson by
County Judge Orville Chatt to 90 days
in Jail, the first and last 20 of which
must he served on bread and water.
Nelson is expected to be taken into
custody tomorrow. The two recently
appealed their sentences to State SUI

The case has focused attention on
two brothers, one the Judge who SEN
fenced the men, the other demanding
relief sentence for his lifelong friend

has been a bitter foe to liquor law

fences with an accompanying period
