cute Wayda as he is of the belief that
the man is OF unsound mind.
Several days ago the priest received a
letter in which the writer stated that he
dsliked the sermons preached by the
cergymen, and just for spite would kill
him on sight. This letter was repeated
some days later and the priest placed the
matter in the hands of the police
Detective Oleynizak, dressed in priestly
garments, visited Wayda in his home

INSISTS UPON SLEEPING
WHILE HIS HOUSE BURNS
Two Families Refuse to Be Awakened
by Fire Gongs.

ny rlEb IOnBSs
1t is simply great to lie in bed these
spring nights and sleep while the rain
is pattering a lullaby on the roof Nearly
everybody enjoys II, but here are two
families that couldn't be aroused even
by hremen and policemen clumplng
through their halls, fire engines bell
lowing outside and excited neighbors
shouting and screaming that their house
was on fire.
Shortly after midnight flames, leaplng
from the roof OF the three-story brick
building at 1882 Morris street, attracted
a paserby who sent in an alarm. Bedlam
broke loose in the street. Fire engines
ratified and changed up before the door
and the excited neighbors gathered. Fire
men rushed to the roof with axes and
lanterns. Through it all slept Daniel
Amato, So years old, his wife and six
children, and Carmine Lambire, his wife
and two children.
"There is nobody home" said Police
man Smith, of the Sd and Dickinson
streets station. He raped 'on a door.
He raped again, louder. Amato came to
the door, yawning.
Your house is on fire." said Smith.
"Did somebody turn in an alarm"
asked Amato.
Yes" said Smith.
"All right" said Amato, and went
back to bed.
The fire burned a small section out OF
the roof. Crossed wires are believed to
have caused it.

A.fore an audience Of 1000 persons, the

hla voice was husky from a cold, the big,
earnest black man at once caught the
sttention of the audience A few mo-

pacullarly forceful presentation OF the

with "modern prodigallty" held the hear

"A fool and his money are soon parted.

AS he began his exhortations to sinners

And later, while praying on his feet,

LOAN ASSOCIATIONS WARNED
AGAINST REAL ESTATE BOOMS
Promoters specuIations Often
Have Dire Results, Says La
Monte's Annual Report.

From stan Correspondent.
TRENTON, Dec. 4.-Building and
loan associations in New Jersey have
an aggregate membership of 2S1 ,040,
and this is a truly impressive show
ing, according to the annual report
, of Banking and Insurance Commits
sloner George M LaMonte, which will
be submitted to the 1916 Legislature.
The interest shown will afford much
qualification to all concerned in the
advancement of these highly bene-
flcial institutions, says Commissioner
LaMonte.
The gain for the year in the num-
Der of members was 1894, or more
than per cent. The combined gross
assets amount to $143,764. 381, an in
crease of s11, ,307, ,825, which is equal to
8A per cent. The sum of $103, ,290, ia
has been paid in as dues or subscrip-
tions on the outstanding shares. This
Is $9,869.973, OF more than 10 per cent.
In excess of the corresponding total
for the preceding year.
Accumulated Profts Larger.
The accumulated profits are larger
in amount by s2,23i,56o. the aggregate
being $25.S31. .345. OF the whole num-
ber of shareholders, 24A per cent. are

returned at SO, 800, ,997. Compared with
the previous years figures this is an
increase of S1,371, SAT, or 10 per cent.
The number of foreclosures reported
is 472, which is an increase of 1853.
Taking the associations as whole
the real estate held only amounts to
slightly above 2 per cent. of the gross
assets. About 1474 per cent. of the
total is sold under contract.
According to the report the serial
plan of issuing shares is followed by
81 per cent. of the societies, the same
proportion as last year. OF the two
premium plans, gross and installment,
the former Is operated by 3Sl, or over
81 per cent. of the associations, and
the latter by 272, or 36 per cent.
The one unsatisfactory feature of
the years operations is the large
addition to the real estate account of
the institutions. The foreclosures
were far above the yearly average in
number Commissioner LaMonte says
this was probably DUE mainly to the
inabality of borrowers, because of ad-
verse business conditions. to keep
up their payments. The collapse

concerns in certain sections of the

number of the properties having been
acquired in this way.
Dangers of Loanins to Realty Boomers.
Reference was made in the last an

of the past year should suffice to bring

Hevonpaa Disqualified Twice
in Wrestling Contests

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Sulvo Hevon-
paa, the Finn, was twice disqualified
in two bouts in the International
wrestling tournament at the Man
haitian Opera House last night. George
Bothner was the first to oppose He
vonpaa in what was scheduled to be
finish bout. However, after being
on the mat 43 minutes and seconds,
and being continually warned against
foul tactics, the Finn bit his oppo-
nent and was ruled out.
DIR. b. F. Roller helped TO separate
the two wrestlers, and Hevonpaa,
jumping to his feet, challenged him
to take Bothner's place. DR.. Roller
accepted. Hevonpaa continued to
show little respect for the rules of
the game, and when he attempted to
throw Dr. Roller into the wings he
was again disqualified. The summa-
ries:
Ivan Linow defeated Hermann
Schilling in Is minutes AZ seconds.
Stranger" Lewis defeated Ernst
in minutes 10 seconds.
George Bothnea G..S.4ted Sulo HaV-
onpaa in 43 minutes seconds, the

FINANCIAL NOTES

The Joint reorganization committee
of the International Steam Pump
! Company announces that all but $500
shares of the total issue OF preferred
stock (113500 shares) have paid the
assessment called for under the read
justment plan. About 81 per cent. of
the common, the same of the bonds
and SO per cent. of the Worthington
preferred stock have already been de-
posted under the plan.
The per cent. dividend will come
| off Central Leather common next
Wednesday and buying of the stock
which carried II across so yesterday
was based on the idea that the stock
would look cheap after this deduction
was made. Those who have been
VERY correct on the Central Leather all
along, predicting that 1t would pay
per cent. for the current year, now
say that 1t will go on regular quar-
terly dividend basis early next year.
Payment will be made at the rate of
per cent.
The 100000 900 Baltimore & Ohio re-
funding and general mortgage per
cent bonds were approximately four
times over-subscribed in the one day
that members of the underwriting
syndicate received applications for the
issue. In making allotments, the
bankers cut the very large subscrip-
tions down TO about 20 per cent. OF the
amounts applied for, and the average
allotment was approximately rs per
cent. of subscriptions.
The United Gas and Electric Cor
poration has resumed dividends by de-
claring dividend of per cent. on the
first preferred stock, payable Decem-
ber 30 to stock of record December 20.
The marlborough Rapid Transit
Company has sold to J. P. Morgan &
Company the balance of its $50. 900. 900
first and refunding mortgage per
cent. flfty-three-year bonds amount
ing to $20.000,000. The banking house
was pledged to take this balance be-
fore the close of the current year ac-
cording to an agreement entered into
in 1918 to provide funds for the con-
struction of the new subways and for
the third tracking of the elevated
railway system. The Morgan firm
took $5,000000 of these bonds last June.
A similar amount had already been
taken earlier in the year. The total
issue of these bonds now outstanding
is s12S, 900, leaving $27,342,000 still
to be disposed of.
