EVICTS PREACHER FROM
HIS CHURCH And HOME
Sheriff Takes Charge of the
Rev. j. ID. Longs Prop
erty in Flatbush.

The somewhat checkered career of the
Rev. John ID. Long. who was one OF the
very few ministers In this country to own
personally his own church, reached an
other milestone yesterday when he was
evicted by proxy from the church build
ing and the brick parsonage attached to
1t at az Lenox road, Flatbush.
The proxy was Mrs Long, who had
held the fort against Sheriff Swasey for
several weeks IN the absence OF her hus-
band, who IL said to be travelling in the
West The eviction was the result of the
foreclosure of "A mortgage for $40, 900
held by the Riverhead Savings Bank, sup
plemented by a bill for unpaid taxes
amounting to more than $4,000 and ac-
crued interest.
Former Assemblyman Joseph H. Esqui-
rel as agent for the bank had charge OF
the dspossess proceedings and was pres
ent when three deputies bundled Mrs
Long, the fittings OF the church and par
sonage and much OF the Longs personal
possessions out on the lawn, where the
collection was viewed with interest by the
citizens OF Flatbush.
Mr.. Long. originally OF Babylon, L. l.,
bought the church building nine years
ago from the Methodist Church and con-
Quoted IL first as a Presbyterian congre.
cation. then as Socialist organisation
next as Baptist Church and again n,
n Presbyterian Church.
His spectacular methods of attractins
congregations got him into trouble severa
times. Two years ago he auctioned on
masked women Az household servants
he police interfered finally and the churcl
was closed.
The Longs have n son who was grad
uated from college THE year and a daugh
ter who is student at Barnard.
