PEACE JUSTICE
IS ACCUSED Of
AN EXTORT|ON
Judge Wolf Decides to Parole
Him to Await Grand Jury
Action.

Although the testimony given by
Parania Erd who charges Michael
Baron, a justice of the peace, with
eXtortion, was accompanied by con-
Trajectory statements, Judge II. Ed
ward Wolf in the Fourth Precinct
Court today found the evidence strong
enough for the holding of Baron on a
charge of extortion, and paroled him
in custody of his counsel, julius Field
man, for the grand jury.
The Erd woman signed a complaint
on May 15 before Clerk William J.
Schmauder In the Fourth Precinct
Court, known as the Third Criminal
Court, that she and her husband had
attended a wedding in the early part
of May. She stated that while at the
wedding a woman named Eva Lasrelx
had thrown orange peels at her hus-
band. She said that she reprimanded
the ,Lasrek woman for bothering with
married man.
A few days later she said that a
constable had visited her home at 32
Jackson street, told her that she was
under arrest, and took her to what
she knew only as the Belmont Ave
nue. Court" which is Baron's office, at
AZ Belmont avenue She declared that
while there Baron had told her that
she was to be held in bail of $500. She
swore that Baron had made a feeble
attempt to get her landlord, who she
said would go her bail. presumably
telephoning to him, but that he had
dropped the receiver and told her that
he would admit her to bail for $50
and have an examination the follow
ing day. Mrs. Erd said that she told
Baron that she had no money, and
that after while he had told her to
go home and come back that night.
This was on May 4.
When she arrived at Baron's Office
that night she declared that he took
the Lasrek girl, who was also present,
into a private room, and after saying
something to her, told Mrs. Erd that
for $50 the woman was willing to drop
the case against her Mrs. Erd told
Baron that she did not have $50. 1t
was then agreed that Mrs. Erd should
give the woman 500, which she says
she handed to Baron Mrs. Erd then
went home. She accuses Baron of
telling her that if she informed any
body of what had transpired in his
office he would make her suffer

OF SERMON BY DR.. DAWSON,

Extracts from Address Ten Years Ago by Dr. Dawson in
Brooklyn Church and Mr. Sundays Talk at Paterson Show
Remarkable Similarity in Thought-PIagiarsm Is Alleged

Inside revelations made by Bent

tary to Billy Sunday, in Philadelphia
within the past few days, tending to
show that the baseball evangelist
may have been guilty of plagiarism,
are confirmed by Rev. DR.. William j.
Dawson. pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church of this city. DIR. Daw-
son declared today that portions of
Mr.. Sundays sermon, What If
Christ should Come to Paterson? How
Would You Welcome Him." preached
in the Silk City on Friday, May Z,
during his revival campaign there,
contained extracts taken almost bod
lily from one of DR.. Dawson's pub
lished sermons on ''The Unavoidable
Christ"
The sermon to which DR.. Dawson
refers was published with others of
series by Fleming, Revell & Co., of
New York, ten years ago. The SER
mon on THE Unavoidable Christ"
was preached by DR.. Dawson in
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, made
famous by the late Henry Ward

WIFE MURDERED,
STRANGER FOUND
DEAD ON FLOOR
Husband, Wealthy Brooklynite,
Tells Police Burglar Killed
Wife and Himself.

NEW YORK, June 17,-Carman
Cornelius, a well-to-do merchant,
summoned neighbors to his apart
today with the announcement
that burglar had shot and
killed his wife. Those who
returned with Cornelius to his suite
found his beautiful young Wife, Bar
bara, dead in bed with three bullet
holes in her head, Nearby on the
floor was the body of young man,
who had been. shot through the
temple The intruder, whom neither
the police nor Cornelius could
identify, still clutched pistol.
Cornelius declared that the man
entered his bedroom to commit rob-
berry and fired shot at him, which
killed Mrs. Cornelius. He believed
the supposed burglar committed
suicide while the murdered womans s
husband was seeking help. The police,
after two hours questioning, could
not get Cornelius to change his story.
Mrs. Cornelius was twenty-five
years old. She had been married but
a short time. The dead man looked
to be about thirty five years of age.
He was we'll dressed. A seal ring on
his finger bore the initials &c. M"
The police held theory that Mrs.
Cornelius was killed by a former
sweetheart.
Cornelius admitted that when his
first wife procured divorce she
ramed the dead woman as CO.
respondent
Detectives say they have discov-
cred that Mrs. Cornelius had re-
ceived several postcards before her
marriage to the produce man signed
&C."
Cornelius said that until recently
he had left home each morning at l
a. M, to be on hand before the OPEN
ing of the produce market. The
police believe the murderer knew this
and arrived at the Cornelius home
a few moments after that hour, be-
lieving that Cornelius would be alb
sent.

When ne conducted his services in
Plymouth Church Dr. Dawson had
just come from England of which
country he is a native, and his SER
mons attracted widespread attention,
not only in Brooklyn, but all over
the country.
When asked today whether it was
true that Billy Sunday had made use
of his sermon on THE Unavoidable
Christ" DR.. Dawson said that the
text of Sundays sermon compared
with extracts from his printed SER
mons, would tell the story BY a
coincidence the baseball evangelist
was preaching the analogy of DIR.
Dawson's Sermon on the very day
that clergymen of this city were de-
batting whether or not they should
invite him to Newark to conduct an
evangelistic campaign. 1t is also
noteworthy that DIR. Dawson was one
of the clergymen who stood out
against inviting Sunday here, de-
claring that his use of slang and his
manner of presenting Scripture truth
were repellent to him. DR.. Dawson
also said that If Billy Sunday was
invited here the First Presby-
terian Church would not be closed,
and that its pastor would not sit on
the same platform with the former
baserunner

RAYMOND TELLS
WHY He BALKS

communication from Mayor Ray

Market street, near the Pennsylvania
railroad station. was read at the
meeting of the Board of Works this
afternoon. He said that his reason
for opposing this Improvement, as
well as the extension of Haines ave-
nue. and Delaney street, in the
meadow district, was economy. That
was the platform on which he made
his campaign and on which he was
elected, and so, as he understood the
verdict of last November, the public
did not want such work as this per-
formed at the present time.
Otto Rauch president of the Mar
ket Street Improvement Association,
spoke in favor of the extension OF
Central avenue. Edward Blau, an
other of the speakers from among the
large number present, urged the
Board of Works to adhere to its
stand, despite the wishes of the
mayor.
You were not appointed by the
mayor" he said. You were elected
by the people and the people want

|NCOMPETENCY
OF LUSITAN|A'S
CREW BLAMED
Survivors Say Captains Or
ders Were Contradicted-No
Life Belts Found.
BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
LONDON, June 17.-Charges that
incompetency of the Lusitania's crew
loss of life when the liner was tor
pedoed were made by survivors who
testified today at the official inquiry
of the British Board of Trade.
A passenger named Baker swore
that the steamer lacked competent
men to aid in lowering the boats, and
that several passengers undertook
the task.
II was helping to put one boat
over" said Baker, when one of Cap
tain Turner's staff, named Anderson,
megaphoned from the bridge: Stop
lowering that boat. There is no dam
ger. The ship isn't going to sink.
Before the testimony of passenger
| survivors was taken, Captain Turner
was recalled to the dock. He admit
ted that for fully ten minutes he did
| not realize that the Lusitania was
sinking, but he denied he had ordered
women and children to leave the
boats.
Seaman O'Neill testified that after
the first explosion he saw another
torpedo pass behind the stern of the
Lusitania.
1t was also testified that no life
belts were available on deck during
| the voyage. Bertram Jenkins, of New
York, saloon passenger. said he had
remarked several times to other pas
sengers on the absence of life belts
THAT you did not see them / well
believe, but that they were not there
| cannot" commented Baron Mersey.
Found No Life Belts.
/, A woman witness also told the
court she was unable to find life belts.
Another passenger said he helped to
launch a lifeboat full of women and
children, unassisted by the crew, but
the boat leaked so badly that it sank
few minutes after touching the
water Baron Mersey asked whether
! the boat was damaged in being low
cred as 1t was on the port side. The
witness replied that if the boat
bumped against the hull as it was
going down he was aware of it.
ID. A. Thomas, known as the Brit
lsh coal king" who was on the Lusi-
tania, was of the opinion that some
members of the crew did not obey the
captains orders TO attend first to the
rescue of women and children, but at
tempted to save themselves first.
Sir Edward Carson, the attorney
general, expressed his conviction that
q second submarine was laying in
wait on the port side of the Lusitania
Sir Edward made this statement in
reply to an argument put forward
by Baron Mersey, who said he
thought mistake had been made by
| Seaman O'Neill, one of the witnesses
| before the court, who testified he had
seen the wash of a torpedo passing
| the stern OF the Lusitania from the
| port to the starboard side Immediate
/ ly after the liner had been hit on the
/ starboard side.
