ALLCOR GOES
TO ASYLUM
Rumson Spite Fence Man
Held Insane.

Long Branch, July 25:-James M.
Allgor, the Rumson road Spite
fence man, was committed to the
State Insane Hospital yesterday, and
his latest fence will come down to
stay.
Neighbors, who pitied the man,
believe his mind was unbalanced by
the failure of his business venture
in opening the Rumson road bunga-
low as an ice cream parlor and
bowling alley. 1t is said he spent
more than $4,000 in fighting the
Rumson road ~millionaires who OPP
posed his plan to commercialize the
highway.
On suspicion that the mans con
dition was growing worse, and that
he was a source of danger, DR.. John
w. Bennett and DR.. Charles j.
Gremer, of this place, gave him a
mental examination yesterday and
pronounced him insane.
Allgor's troubles date back about
three years. He has been in jail
twice for contempt, once paying a
heavy fine, after he had declared he
would serve out his term. He has a
family.

STILL SILENT
ON PURCHASE
c. C. Baldwin Refuse to Dis
cuss Land Deal.

C. C. Baldwin, president of the
Perth Amboy & TottenYi1le Ferry
Company, declares he has still
nothing to say concerning his pur-
chase of approximately 145 feet of
waterfront property in Front and
Water streets. He refuses to state
what use the property may be put
to. The fact that Mr.. Baldwin is
head of the ferry company and that
the company is seeking a landing
place for its proposed line has given
much significance to the sale, even
though it has been stated that the
Standard Underground Cable Works,
of which Mr.. Baldwin is the superin-
tendent, has been interested in the
property in question.
Mr.. Baldwin has closed purchases
of land from Mrs. Hessie Greacen
and Jens P. Westergaard. He pur-
chased lot 6 in block 16 and lot 3 in
block Is from the latter. One of
the tracts of which extends from the
waterfront to Water street. He Sc
cured lot 4 in block Is from Mrs.
Greacen. This extends 100 feet
along Front street, about lis feet
along the shore and together with
an l. shaped dock on the premises is
200 feet long. Combination of the
two purchases will produce a water
frontage of approximately 145 feet.
