DEATH DUETS
LEGAL TANCLE
Report Mourns Rev. Schock
of FIagg Scandal.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Aug. 12:-Word vas re-
celved here on Saturday night an
nouncing the death Of Rev. James
7. Schock, Of Plainfeld, formerly
pastor Of the Dutch Reformed church
Of this place, and formerly principal
of the Keyport graded school. Owing
to his former positions of a public
character Mr.. Schock was exception
ally widely known throughout this
community. The notice Of his death
was a shock to his wide circle Of
friends who, while aware of his
failing condition, did not suppose
that any serious results would fol-
low.
Rev. James T. schock and family
moved to this town several years
ago, he accepting the pastorate Of
the Ro-ormed church. In 1897, fol-
lowing the resignation of Professor
S. V. Arrowsmith as principal of the
Keyport graded school, Rev. Mr..
Schock was appointed as his success
or. After a successful adminlstra-
ton as the principal of the school he
resigned his position at the end Of
the school year Of 1906 and accept
ed the anne Office at the Demands
vile high school, which, after a few
years, he resigned for other business
pursuits.
When the Jared Flagg Brokerage
concern was confiscated by the fede-
raj authorities last January for the
illegal use of the United States mails
Mr.. Schock, who was an employe Of
the operators, was also apprehended
and held as an accessory to any
crime which had been committed.
The Flagg syndicate was never
brought to trial on their first indict-
ment and only a few weeks ago new
indictments were made. In the
meantime the implicated members
are out on bail.
1t is advanced by many that his
trouble has undoubtedly fastened
the death Of Mr.. Schock, as the dis
grace Of arrest fell very heavily up
on him. The Flagg Syndicate, which
was composed of former Treasurer
Morgan of the United States and
other influential men, claim that
when the case is tried the legality of
their business dealings will be
found.
The death of Mrs. Schock occurred
last winter. The funeral services Of
the widower will be conducted on
Tuesday at 8 P. M. at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Albert Close, of
% Netherwood avenue, Plainfeld.
Interment will be at Cranbury on
Wednesday.
