a capias issued by Supreme Court Com

INSURANCE FIGHT
Allenhurst Inn Fire Results
in Chancery Suit Be
tween Present and
Former Owners.
COAST LAND CO.'S. DEMAND
Asks That Mrs. Quinn Be
Compelled to Turn Over
Policies Held in Her
Name.

peculiar fight was begun in Chancery
Chambers this morning over the insur-
ance of the Allenhurst Inn, which was
partially destroyed by fire on July l, last
The inn a fashionable resort at Alien
hurst. this State, was bought in Febru-
ary by w. johnson Quinn, who runs the
Empire Hotel in New York City. The
price was slsO,000. At that time it was
insured for $4,000, but Mr.. Quinn, think
ing that amount insufficient, took out an
additional policy for $4,000 He bought
the property from the Coast Land I'M
provement Company, of which corpora
ton E. P. Benjamin is president. OF the
purchase sum of s1So,0OO Mr.. Quinn paid
$4,000 in cash, $4,000 was on mortgage
held by the Provident Savings Life AS
surance Society and $4,000 in two mort
cages to the Coast Land Company. Most
of these are not due for some time.
The Provident Savings Society had $4S.-
900 fire insurance on the building and the
Coast Land Company held policy Oh
s32 500 on the property also. After the
sale to Mr.. Quinn all the policies nelo
by both parties were endorsed in the
name of the new owner, Mrs Quinn, and
held by the Provident Savings Society,
payable to it; but those of the Coast
Land Company were not endorsed pay
able to anybody. Mr.. Quinn thought they
were of course made payable to that cor
poration When he took out the additional
900 policy he took it out in the name
of his wife.
The fire was at its height on the night
of July / when the Coast Land Com
pany's agent at Asbury Park. j. I. APP
pleby. telephoned to President Benjamin
at Morristown that the inn was burning.
Mr.. Benjamin telephoned back to have all
the policies held by them fixed up at once
and have them endorsed payable first to
the Provident Society and afterwards to
the Coast Land Company. That was
done while the flames were devouring the
inn.
The result of this move was that the
Provident Society got s6O,S00 payable on
the loss, whereas they only held s4o,ooo.
The Coast Land Society then proceeded
to file bill in Chaneery to compel Mrs.
Quinn to turn over to it some of the other
insurance taken out in her own name.
Mrs Ouinn's defense is that the Coast
Land Company held in their own hands
s23.5 500 which they transferred over to the
Provident Savings Society on the night
of the fire without the request of Mrs
Quinn or anybody connected with her.
and having thus taken out of their own
hands these policies they cannot ask the
Court of Chancery to have their own
mistakes rectified at the expense of the
defendant.
Counsellor Charles D. Thompson, of
this city. represented Mrs. Quinn, and
Counsellor F. Durand the Coast Land Inn
provement Company. The outcome of the
suit is being watched with great interest
by insurance men.

JlM M'CANH ALIVE
He Is Kicking Too at the Fa ke Story
of His Defeat in Prize Fight

Prosecutors Detective Mccormack mas
concluded his investigation of the alleged
brutal prize fight in Secaucus on We'd
nesday night last and has found that 1t
was nothing but a New York yellow
journal fake, probably supplied by Pas
sale county penny-a-liner short of funds
Mccormack said this morning that his
investigation had disclosed that Jim Nc
Cam, one of the alleged principals, who
the story said was lying at the point OF
death as a result of the beating he re-
ceived. was not only hearty and well but
had never in his life engaged in fistic
encounter.
McCann was seen by the Prosecutor $
detective at his home in Passaic. He was
very indignant over the published story
and, declared if he could meet the writer
of it he would engage in fight for the
frst time in his life.
Chief Graul, of Paterson, when seen
laughed at the Hudson officer and ex-
pressed surprise at the credulity of Hud-
,on county officials in accepting as true
story emanating from such an unrelia-
xource

The former steeple was 109 years old

that the tornado hit it.

wire which had been knocked from
pole by lightning. At Carteret party of

NUISANCE IN THE TWELFTH
Or. McGill Doesn't Deny 1t,
But Cries "No Money"

The following communication was re-
ceived by Mayor Hoos from the Twelfth
Ward Improvement Association this
morning and referred by him to the Board
of Health
Hon. Edward Hoos, Jersey City. N. J.
My Dear Mayor beg to inform you
that we have a nuisance in the shape
of ash dumps near the County Road.
These dumps are driving the people
away from the back of the Hill, and
property is standing idle. The people
are compelled on the hottest nights to
keep their windows closed, preferring
the heat to the awful smell arising
from the dead dogs, rotten vegetables,
etc. / have written to the Board of
Health about this matter on April 20,
May 27, July Is and July 70 ] have
never received an answer to any letter
I sent in that time about this subject.
On April 25 a petition was sent to DR..
McGill signed by seventy citizens and
property owners. The only effect this
had was to bring an Inspector up, who,
I understand, reported to the Board
that the complaint was justified.
I sincerely hope that you will ask
the Board to stop this dumping of gar
bage SO close to peoples houses.
Yours very truly,
FREDERICK BUGASCH,
Secretary.
DR.. McGill of the Health Board was
asked this afternoon If the petition had
been sent to him.
Il have attended every meeting of the
Health Board said he, 'and | don't re-
member that matter coming up. These
people are like the 'tailors of Tooley
Street. who gather to kick about every
thing. The whole thing is greatly ex-
aggerated. It's a tempest in a teapot. !
know of the place they complain about,
but it's the fault of the street cleaners
who don't take trouble enough to cover
over the refuse when it is dumped.
I'VE are the most abused board in the
county. we are driven from pillar to
post with no money to work with. 1t is
the most important of all the boards, yet
we are hampered in our work
There is no money to do anything with
save what we get from dog taxes and a
few fines Very often we find it hard to
get the fines for the courts usually dis
charge the prisoners. 1t is only lately
that we have been given money enough
to pay rent with Not apenny is set aside

A HOG CONDITION POWDER.

A retired farmer who is now liv-
ing on an income largely derived
from growing hogs tells Wallace's
Farmer that he used the following
condition powder with very great
success, not as a cure for cholera but
as a mean of keeping hogs vigorous
and healthy.
One pound of copperas, one pound
of sulphur, n pound of black anti
many, one-fourth pound saltpeter {,
four pounds of salt, one peck of
wood ashes. Pulverize the oopperas
and saltpeter as fine as possible.
Then mix with the other ingredients
and moisten it but don't make it
sloppy and let the hogs eat all they
want of it.
When the authorities are fight
ing yellow fever or any other human
p~estilence, they clean up thoroughly.
The up-to-date hog raiser realizes
the necessity of cleanliness in the
prevention as we'll as the cure of
hog cholera. We have learned that
lime is death and destruction to the
cholera microbe. It is hard for this
germ to get a start among healthy,
vigorous hogs. One way to keep
the herd in a healthy condition is
the selection of the breeding stock
and the management of breeding.
A SOW should not be expected to raise
two filters a year. This plan debili-
tates the stock and is meeting the
swine plague half way. The pigs
must have a good constitution to
ward off diseases.-F. M. W. in Farm
Journal.

average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that

II. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells

find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability Of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
