Orange Society Women, Robbed
in a Peculiar Way.

Held up by three highwaymen and
robbed of his trousers, which contained
s12, and then running a couple of miles to
his home. lodging pedestrians because Oh
his plight, was the exciting and unpleas-
ant experience of Otto Berschler, OF
Ridgewood road, South Orange, early yes
terday smorning.
The hold-up occurred in Montrose ave
nue., that village. and the robbers stripped
him of his trousers because they could not
get the money out OF the pockets easily
any other way, for the victim fought
hard.
After being left dazed in the road Bersch-
Ter decided not to attract attention by
shouting for help because he did not like
to be found so lightly clad. He made a
bee limo for his home, two miles away. in
Ridgewood road. where he is employed as
a gardener for the Misses Fenner.
When morning came the mar went TO
the South Orange police station to report

money safe?'
The pockets were empty and Kenny
then told how Dewitt j. Carter, a driver
for the Borden Milk Company, had found
the trousers in Montrose avenue early, IN
the morning. wondered who they had Pc
longed to, and took them to the police sta
ton. A fancy belt adorned them, but
there was nothing in the pockets.

DENoUNcEs MoRMoNs.
Attack Along Well-Known Lines Made
by Dr.. Hill at bloomfield Church.

The Rev. DR.. J. Wesley Hill delivered an
address in the First Presbyterian Church,
Bloomfield, last night on -Four Years
Among the Mormons." It was an arraign-
ment of Mormonism In it's home. where
the speaker had passed five years in close
range with the mormon system. He spoke
on the alleged duplicity and hypocrisy OF
the Mormon leaders and narrated the story
Of the Mountain Meadow massacre, when
seventy people, men, women and children,
were murdered by Mormons under the lead
ership of Bishop Lee, who was convicted,
sentenced and executed for the crime, of
which he made q full confession. He
claimed the record of the Mormon Church
was disloyal to the flag and the nation
and predicted the destruction of the sect.
He, asserted that the alleged pledges made
by the Mormon leaders when seeking
Statehood for Utah, that they would for
ever renounce polygamy and refrain from
church interference in politics, were broken
as soon as Statehood was obtained.
''There Is scarcely a leader among the
Mormons at the present time" said he,
who does not maintain relations with
more than one wife, and both the political
parties In Titan are under the absolute
control of the Mormon hierarchy, its
people voting at the behest of their priest
hood. They make no reference to these
things while preaching abroad, but aim to
win converts and gather them in Utah,
where they hold them in absolute sub
lection
The church was filed. DR.. Hill spoke
by special invitation of the Evangelical
Union of Pastors and Churches of Bloom
field.

near the school were opened the blasts
nave hurled fragments of the rock against
the school building and on several occa-
sions through the windows OF the school,
to the imminent danger Of the lives Of the
school children.
Theodore Simonson and L. J. Martin,
counsel for the defendant corporation,
said the defendant was prepared to pur-
chase the school property. at a fair valua-
ton. and that a proposition to that eff
feet had been made to the Board of Edu-
cation. They agreed that the blasting
operations would be suspended pending an
attempt 10 reach an agreement on the
price of the chool property if the other
side would be satisfied to nave the appli-
cation go over to December l. This pro-
posal being accepted the court formally
