Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 26:-The

revolt. The government has sent an

We're SO engaged In wrangling over the

GO IN AND THROW HIM OUT!
SLAYER WAS
BLACkMAIL.ER
Dutch Neck Murderer Threat
ened Fam Iy Secret.

| Trenton, n. J., Nov. 26.-The mur-
| der of the Rev. AMI L. Armstrong
and his wife, Annie Rue Armstrong, at
their home near Dutch Neck Wednes-
day night was the result of an unsuc.
| cessful attempt at blackmail.
John Sears, the mulatto, who sis a
prisoner In the Mercer county jail here
| and who has confessed the double
crime, has admitted everything con-
corning his part in the tragedy except
his purpose in attacking the old clergy
man and in turning upon Mrs. Arm
strong when he discovered she knew
what he had done. This purpose, how
ever, has been discovered by Prose
cutor William ]. Crossley.
Sears' father was a white man, as
everybody in the neighborhood knew.
Most of the neighbors believed his
father was farmer w-o lived about
mile from the scene of Wednesdays
tragedy and for whom Rachel Sears,
mother of the man charged with the
murder, had worked at one time short
" before her sons birth. Sears, how
ever, did not believe this man was his
father
He always insisted he was the son
of member of the family from
which Mrs. Armstrong came. For
years he has been demanding and
receiving money from Mr.. Armstrong
on the strength OF threats to declare
he was half cousin, If not half
brother of Mrs. Armstrong. Doing no
real work, 1t is said that Sears had
been getting on an average of $50
month for the past ten years from
the clergyman. What he may have
got from the family of Ellwood Rue,
the father of Mrs. Armstrong, with
whom he grew up, the authorities
have not been able to discover.
Sears says he killed the couple
when Mr.. Armstrong refused to give
him more money.

RENDERS
5000 VERDICT
FOR PLAINTIFF
Joseph Ruznicki Gets DAM
ages for Injuries When
Struck by Auto.
SIGMUhD SPlTZER MAY
APPEAL THE CASE

After being out about three-quar-
ters Of an hour, the jury in the case
of Joseph Ruznicki against Sigmund
Splitter, in the district court yester-
day, rendered a verdict of 5000 dam
ages in favor of Ruznicki.
Ruznicki, a former street, en-
ploye, had sued Splitter for $500
damages for alleged injuries received
in being run down by Splitter with
an. automobile last October. Splitter
through his attorney, Sherrerd De-
pue, of Lindabury, Depue & FaulKs,
claimed that the accident was un-
avoidable; that the accident, which
happened on New Brunswick ave-
nue., was due to the fact that after
lodging some vehicles, the auto sud-
denly came into an open space with
further passage entirely blocked by
street cleaners stretched from curb
to curb
Ruznicki, through his counsel,
Thomas Brown, showed, apparently
to the satisfaction of the jury, that
Spitzer's machine was not under
proper control at the time of the ac-
cident
1t is understood that Mr.. Splitter
will appeal the case. In represent
ing Mr. Splitter, Lindabury, Depue &
Faulks were acting for the Travellers
Insurance Company, who contract to
defend their automobile clients in
suits brought for damages in acci-
dents.

NEW HOUSES
FOR SEWAREN
Weagher & Smith Plan Ten
Modern Dwellings.

Meagher & Smith, contracting
firm of this city, have purchased a
block of lots at Sewaren upon which
1t will erect ten modern dwelling
houses. The buildings will be of
suburban type, erected in q style to
make neat appearance on the ex-
terror and will be designed for con-
venience and the best of service. 1t
is likely that ground will be broken
for them the first part of the week.
The property in question was pur-
chased from the Sewaren Realty &
Investment Company, being part
of its tract where there has been
general activity for months past.
The tract has been the scene of un-
usual activity the past week. Ground
has been broken for a handsome new
residence for Edward J. Cahill.
Brewster avenue has been graded
through from West avenue direct to
the property of the Sewaren Realty
& Investment Company Sewer and
water connections have been made
On account of the location of several
factories about Sewaren 1t is likely
that the demand for houses and
building lots will continue to grow
and Meagher & Smith, it is stated,
will put up number of other dwell
ings.
The Sewaren Realty & Investment
Company has closed negotiations
with the Middlesex Title Guarantee
& Trust Company. of New Bruins
wick, whereby the title to their en-
tire development, consisting of 400
building lots, is guaranteed. A title
guarantee policy is therefore fur
nished with each warranty deed

sible, but that he feared anybody
caught inside the building had been
completely incinerated At least six

The fire is said by survivors to
have been caused by the explosion
of gasolene lamp. IT spread with

entire fire department, summoned bY
a general alarm, reached the scene,
girls were leaping from third and
fourth story windows at which they

priests fought their way into the
burning building to give conditional
absolution to the dying. Fireinen

a dozen were killed that way. Lads

Woman Arrested by Capt. Dixon's Men
Misunderstands Date of Trial

case of Mrs. Elgin Daley, accused by
Patrolman Browning and Bowe or
Captain Dixon's purity squad of va
grancy was continued by Police Judge
Williams yesterday to March Is, when
the matter will be taken up.
The arrest of Mrs. Daley, who was
dragged out of the cigar stand con-
Quoted by her husband on Central
avenue, February 10, and subjected to
the indgnity of being placed in the

being arrested without a warrant on
the statement of w. C. Proctor, a no.
torious police spy, will be taken before

Although he wished to keep this man
in the service, Captain Dixon found
that the notorietv concerning the acts
of Proctor rendered the testimony of
the latter worthless, and reluctantly
dismissed him, following the arrest of
Mrs. Daley.

YUMA LAND SEEKERS
DILATORY IN FILING
Government Receiver Expects Rush
Which Will More Than Tax
Capacity of the
Office

Out of the 2S00 applications received
March 1 but 692 have been filed at the
United States land office for farm units
in the governments Yuma land
project. Receiver Robinson and Regis
ter Van Buren, are of the opinion that
the capacity of their office for filing
before March 10, which is 250 a day,
will be overtaxed, and that the hun
dreds of persons who hold applications
have delayed filing them either through
desire to gain time that they may
first see the property or through their
lack of understanding the regula-
tions governing the distribution.
'If they don't hurry up" said Mr..
Van Buren, yesterday. hundreds of
these applicants will get left. Our
capacity for filing applications is only
$50 a day, and with hundreds of these
applications yet unified and the date of
closing fast approaching it will be
impossible to accommodate all. There
is a possibility, however, that many
persons who made application March
either did so through curiosity or
with the intention of disposing of their
applications"
Members of the old Yuma land line,
which stood for days and nights in
the streets, are much in evidence about
the government land office.
