MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
$4,000 Fire at Orange.

The factory of the Bolander- Parker
shoe company at Orange was burned
just before 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. The stock was practically ruined,
but it difficult to estimate the loss on
the buildings at present. Two items of
the stock, finished and unfinished,
amount to over $4,000, and probably
the damage to the buildings will be
much more. The entire plant is insured
through the agency of James d. Kim
ball of Orange in blanket form for
$123,000.
According 70 the Nn'chman, the fire
was discovered in three places at about
the same time. The plant was first used
for the manufacture of Grout automo-
biles by the Grout company several
years ago until they went out of bus
mess.
The Bolander-Parker shoe company
went to Orange from Lynn about year
and a half ago, and for some time dId
good business, but the company bus
mess was placed in the receivers hands
few months ago. The receivers are
Fred A. Dexter of Orange and James
A. Smith of Boston, who represent the
creditors. They were soon to close out
the business of the company. The fire.
of course, brought it to an unexpected
windup.

To Build R. R. Spur
 Soon in The City
Land Department Wishes to Notify
 Beach People to Move.

The land department of the engi- neering commission states that the railroad spur near the beach will be constructed soon and it asks that dwsllers on the beach be notified again to move and not to delay the work.
 The following statement was given out by the department today:
 "There are still a number of people living on the beach who have failed to vacate in accordance with the order of the land department requiring them to move on or before October first. The commission will start its work in a few days on the industrial spur and side tracks and will at that time com mence clearing the water front of all buildings that remain thereon after October first. This procedure is ab- solutely necessary on account of the winter coming on, which if work is not started immediately will delay the construction of the industrial tracks. More applications for sites for warehouses and industrial pur- poses have been received than t is believed possible to locate on the limited water front, a portion of which has been reserved for railroad purposes, and these industries must also be promptly placed.

Accuses Wilson Of Gs
 Being Pro British
President DeGes Accuser Who Says
 PrO-German Vote is Winning.

LONGBRANCH, Sept. 30. The part that pro-Germanism and the re- verse will take in the coming prcsi- dental election was brought viyidly before the eyes of the nation today when Jeremiah Lynch president of the American Truth Society, wired Pres dent Wilson and stated to him that his pro-British icanmgs were dcteal. ing the party. Lynch in his wire dc. clared that popular disarproya of the Presidents pro-aIlied sympayur- was clearly shown in the oycrWhc.m- ing majority given to Senator Mar tine in the New Jersey primaries amt also to Bennett who polled more than forty per cent of the total Democratic vote in New York. These facts, Lynch declared, showed that even the Democratic party disapproved of Wi.- sons friendship for Great Britain. In answer to the wire the President became more than emphatic. After denying the statements of Mr. Lynch he declared that he would "fceI deep ly mortified if your kind voted for me" And he finished up by telling President Lynch that he may teII all other "disloyal Americans" where ue stood. Maritime Is the man who was supported by the pro-German vote. He is the senator who passed the res- olution calling for clemency in the case Of Sir Roger Easement and that he received his large majority on this account is claimed by the pro-Ger- fact is taken as indicating that Presi- dent Wilson will be very much hand.- capped for reelection by the same questions that gave Maritime his ma jority.
