HUNGARIAN CLUB DILEMMA.
Rival Landlords Demand the Rent

rent from Theodore Fichtner, owner of

N j., who holds lease on the prem
Uses. Fichtner sold the lease to one
Henry Leer. Leer agreed to pay 500
for the lease, and gave notes at the rate
of $50 per month. AS security, he gave
Fichtner an order on the Hungarian
Club, agreeing that If he did not pay
the notes promptly, Fichtner might col
lect the rent from the Hungarian Club
and pay himself.
Leer did not pay the first note, and
Fichtner called on Lawyer Alfred b.
Jaworower, who served notice of
claim on the Hungarian Club for the
rent. At the same time, and in spite
of the order given, Leer also demanded
the rent. Ignatius Weltner, the Presi-
dent of and lawyer for the Hungarian
Club, refused to pay 1t to either party
until their difficulties had been settled
Leer began dispossess proceedings
against the Hungarian Club, and the
case came before Civil Justice Roesch
to-day.
Weltner presented Lawyer Jawor-
overs notice of claim and asked to be
allowed to deposit the money in court
and be relieved from any liability.
Justice Roesch adjourned the matter
until Oct. u, when he will decide who
gets the money. In the mean time, the
Hungarian Club, whose corporate name
is the New York Magyar Egylet es
Mukedvelo Tarsasag, will hold the
money.

Observe Yom Ripper.
Then. Fell Asleep, Overturned
Lamp and Started q Blaze.

The fierce struggle for existence OF an
East Side family came to light this
morning, when lamp overturned at SO
Allen street, and started a slight fire in
the house. Lewis jacobson is a shoe
maker, who lives with his family in two
rooms on the third floor of the house.
Although he works twenty hours a day
he is unable, his wife said this morning,
to provide more than bread and water
FOR his wife and two lit chi en-. Three
days ago he said to his wife;
"On Tu esday evening Yom Ripper will
commence. That is the most sacred of
the Hebrew church days. do not know
how l am going to stop my work for an
entire day"
They talked the matter over as Jacob
son worked, and finally he decided that
he would not sleep until the holiday be-
gan. He would work day and night until
that time, and then he might observe the
day and still provide for his family.
At clock this morning JAG bison
was still at work at his bench. He had
end the shoes that he had made were
piled three fet high. Suddenly he fell
into dose. His head nodded and struck
the lamp and IT fell to the bare floor,
ing oil.
Mrs. Jacobson. who had sat by her
husbands side and worked as long as
she could keep her eyes open was in
bed when the mihap occurred. She
sprang to her feet and saw that her
husbands beard had caught fire. She
threw blanket around him in time to
prevent his suffering further injury
than the loss of half of his beard.
Then the woman smothered the flames
under the blanket she threw on the
floor.
In the mean time the firemen burst
into the room. There was no fire. but
the fire-fghters found the man and
woman weeping as they knelt on the
floor. They were so happy, they said,
that the. flames had done so little dam
age, and that they could still observe
Yom Ripper, with the deepest joy.
As the firemen left jacobson went
back to his bench and to his work
without even taking the time to wash
the smoke stains from his face. The
flames did practically no damage.
