Edwards & Levy, lawyers; I'oland M. Lamb, a real estate ope ra¬ the Surety Couphn Stamp Com- ly, and Statiord Meeson, promoter jf amusements, -were tenants. I'he Jwedenborgen Church couRregation Decupled a second lloor room and Fred Jchmiizler, Janitor of the building ide his home there. The third lloor was leased by Free- Drt Couucll Jr., O. U. A.

AMERICAN FLAG RAISED DN WALL
Senior Banner Draped in Mourn¬ ing Shown Above Platform on Wail of Auditorium
(By the High Sehool Reporter)
Class Rctlvli-;eB ac Freeport High School were given a .sensational start during the chapel exercises on Thurs¬ day morning, by an incident that is considered a decided vlslory for the Juniors. Chapel was fairly well be¬ gun and the salute to the flag and singing of- "America" were accom¬ plished In a perfectly natural manner. Dut there was a novel number In the morning's jirogram.
During a silent moment following the singing of the national anthem while tho students wero seated and Superintendent Moon stood alone on the auditorium platform the large American flag in the fore pait of the room seemed to slowly rise toward the celling. At first its movement up- I ward was not perceptable, but finally the corner.s of the banner were hidden, j The flag folded near the picture ! moulding.
The studehtK, tea<:her». Principal ! Arthur and Professor Moon stood ! aghast, for beneath the flag was the senior banner, i)rofu8ely decorated in black rrepe and inscribed as follows: "In Memory, Senior Class, Died Sep¬ tember, 1913."
There was prolonged silence in the room. Thfn a ripple of laugliter, in¬ creasing In Its volume, swept over the «t>v'<»nf«. Soon .the. whole assemblage burst Into a loud gaffau. Even Super¬ intendent Moon was forced to laugh. But the fieniors remained mute. They no doubt realized that something had been "put over on them." Their faces were red, all of them.
Mr. Moon who was about to make a speech stood apparently dumfounded for a minute. Then he walked to the wall and endeavored to let down the banner. But the mechaulsni was evi¬ dently too Intricate for him, for after vainly seeking some means of releas¬ ing It he too reddened and hastily went on with his talk.
Afler chapel Principal Arthur asked that the flag be replaced, and request¬ ed the Seniors to refrain from touch¬ ing the class banner. But the Juniors with a sportsmanlike instinct and a desire lo make their joke effective were noti to be found wlion the task of removing the flag was at hand. And needless to say that when it fin¬ ally came down It was due to no effort they put forth.
The details of this startling esca¬ pade of the Juniors seem to have been planned on Wednesday evening. A debate was held In the school on that night. Direct primaries were discuss¬ ed and the decision was tinally render¬ ed In favor of the negaiive side. The students stayed around the scuool un¬ til afler the discussion aud then went hoiuew ard except the juniors.
There were two of the subsenior class that remained and schemed. They finally couceived the novel idea, according lo a reliable Informant. Then they set to work rigorously. Their work carried them well into the ] night. The work was not finished un¬ til after the police were around with 1 night sticks. !
When these two completed the task they were forced to drop out of a window.

To his colleagues amoug the trus¬ tees the esecuuive paid a preity com¬ pliment when he declared that har¬ mony had been the keynote of the ad- minlBlrailon. He felt ihat the accom¬ plishments of the year had been large¬ ly due to this pleasing condition.
Dr. Bultioii Jiiodesily spoke of the Doulevard iighiing system and the general luiprovement of \ lUafee ave¬ uue. He made no relerence to his own inception of the idea, but praised Ihe e.l'oris of County Engineer Sea¬ man aud ex-Comptroller John Lyou, and e.\pressed the hope that the dis- Uuctlve and ornate Improvements would be extended.
,In his contemplation uf extensions lo th^ electric light and water plants, Dr. Bulson congratulated the citizens and staled that within a period of two years about |25,000 would be expended and tliat no tux or bond issne would be necessary to meet the expense. The tax rate, ho continued, would not be greater than f.67 ou $10u of assessed valuation.
Throughout the Vlliage President's talk he referred often lu iimtters po¬ litical, aud was strong in hia declara¬ tions that partisanism should be elim¬ inated from municipal affairs.
At the conclusion of Dr. Bulson's address nominations were opened. Kdwin G. Wright, formerly counsel of the village, placed tbe name of Presi¬ dent Bulson before the meetmg in a speech, whl(ih savored of praise for the administration. Di Delano nom¬ inated Jaines W.

Chute Results in Law Suit-Lang don Gets Small Verdict
Beside the breaking of a friendship which had existed since boyhood, it cost Henry Walters, a contractor of Rockville Centre J6.66 for each of three solar plexus blows he delivered during an alleicahon *ith Chauncey Langdon, a wealthy coal dealer of the sam'e village. The price was fixed hy a jury in the Supreme Court ut Mine¬ ola on Wednesday. The verdict in favor of Langdon waa for J20. He .sued for f2,000.
The encounter which resulted In the severance of the friendly ties tbat bound tho two men occurred during July.

Langdon, who is in the coal business learned that the coal was for Individuals in the village, and became "peeved." He demanded the return of the chute forthwith.
