NEWS OF STEEL TON
DEMAND FOR Cash BY MAIL
Lands WRITER IN THE JAIL
William zoli, of Hummelstown, Re-
wards the Kindness Of . Friend
in Need" By Black Hand Methods
and Is Arrested By Inspector Lucas

William Zoll, alias William Seleker,
was taken into custody by Postofice
Inspector Lucas yesterday morning for
violating the postal laws by sending
threatening letter through the mails
to the Rev. Charles A. Huyette, pastor
of the First Reformed church. Selcher
was locked up in Jail following his ap-
pearance before United States Com
missioner Wolfe in default of $500
bail to await the action of the district
court in May.
Zoll appeared at the home of the
Rev. Mr.. Huyette, Sunday evening,
February %, and giving the name of
Selcker, gave hard luck story in
which he stated that he was out of
work, could find nothing to do and out
of cash. That both his father and
mother were held in Germany to which
country they had gone on visit last
May; that property which his par
ents owned was in the hands of real
estate agent who had not vet made
sale of it. These statements appealed
to the sympathy of the kindhearted
clergyman who gave him lodging for
the night.
The following morning Zoll stated
that he had relatives at pottstown and
could get work there if he had the
transportation. BY the aid of the Rev.
Mr.. Huyette a railroad ticket for
Pottstown was secured by the Asso-
ciated Charities of the borough and
H. c. Wright furnished Zoll with a
new pair of shoes.
Wednesday night he returned to the
minister's home saying that he had
lost his ticket and again asked for a
nights lodging. As there would be no
person at home that evening he was
refused lodging but the preacher could
not turn him away cold and gave him
a dollar.
On Saturday morning the Rev. Mr..
Huyette received a letter from Selcker
demanding s25 with threat in the
event of his refusal that certain
things that took place in the min
ister's house during Selcker's presence
there would pe exposed. The letter
was turned over TO Inspector Lucas
who Immediately started an investiga.
ton.
A decoy letter addressed to Seleker
at the Harrisburg postoffice was sent
out by the inspector and yesterday
morning when he called for it he
was arrested by Lucas. After a grill.
ing in the postofiice building Seleker
confessed to sending the threatening
letter and exonorated the minister
from the action which he threatened
TO expose.
Zoll lived in Highspire for a number
of years but he and his parents re.
moved to Hummelstown over two
wears ago, where he was employed for
time on the Walton truck farm. He
was slightly injured little less than
two years ago while riding on one of
the Walton auto trucks il was run into
by an engine on the Middletown and
Hummelstown line of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, in which coli.
sion the driver named Force, was
killed.

ANNOUNCE ACTIVITIES
Civic Clubs Plans Discussed at Yester

An interesting meeting in which
plans were made for outdoor activities
this summer by the Civic Club was held
yesterday afternoon in the parish house,
Pine street.
To provide a suitable play ground
for the children of the borough an eff
fort will be made to get Council to
close North Second street, above Frank

cause this section is seldom used for
traffic and there are no buildings along
the upper portion of the street lines.
Garden schools for the youngsters
will again be utilized on Cottage Hill
as soon as the weather permits and this
work will be in charge of Mrs. &. P.
Vanier. Mrs. R. VI. Rutherford was
made chairman of a committee to Sc.
cure vacant ground in the borough TO

gain livelihood by raising their own
vegetables.
Plans for the street carnival TO be
held by the club in the latter part OF
May or early in June are being car
ried forward and this affair promises
20 be one of the biggest events of the
summer here.
The Good Citizenship League branch

GOOD MUSIC makes UP FOR
POOR Jokes AT ORPhEUM
Safety First the Headline Act, In
cludes Catchy Songs But Must Let
Cantor and Lee Supply the Weeks
Witticisms

There are few if any really comical
situations and no jokes worth recog-
nixing as such in the Orpheim's big
act of the week, "Safcty First but
the singing is certainly redeeming fea-
ture. The pleasing voices of Sopnye
Barnard, Lou Anger and certainly Eliz-
apeth Mayne IRE heard in very attrac-
tive numbers. The act is musical
treat. The pity is that as a comedy it
should be 50 decided failure.
1t is not the faTlt of the performers,
of course, that their lines are weak.
The author is to blame for not putting
some real Jokes into the piece at places
instead of allowing the plot to drag
along so monotonously with the help
of not only poor but ancient witticisms.
The members of the company are sure
ly capable and would be able TO con-
vulse their audiences if their vehicle
were better written. AS it is, they do all
their entertaining with their singing
and do that so well that they are en-
tirely forgiven for the lack in their
spoken lines. Their musical numbers
are catchy ones and especially have the
merit of being in touch with the lines.
The other performers on the bill are
Bert Levy, who sketches striking like
nesses of familiar characters on slide
through which red glow passes and
transfers the portraits to screen; Ed
die Cantor and AL Lee, who have
plenty If jokes to make up for the want

meeting of the Borough Council for paw
ing sections of Highland street, South
Third street and Conestoga street
showed that there will not be much diff
ference in price from what was paid in
1914. No opposition developed TO the
paving of Highland street, but there
was some objection to making this I'M

This opposition. in the shape of a pc
tition, was referred to the Highway

There were five bidders for the rav-

these bids will be gone over by the
Highway committee TO report to Coun-
ell at its next meeting, when the con-
trccts will be awarded. Eastburn s
bid for ameisite sheeting was S1.si

Last night 5 bids ran close to the
