In the church OF the local community
there is large christening font. The
police received information that 1t con-
tanned a nice collection OF boarded
goods, and naturally thought al first
that some one was playing a joke on
them.
In order that the false statement
might be disproved at once the police
made a search, and found, much 10
their surprise. GOO pounds Of oats. 100
pounds Of rye and 100 pounds OF beans.
We regret that a holy place, from
which Colds Word should be pro-
claimed, has been used for such an un-
worthy purpose. We know, however,
that in the struggle for daily bread even
sincere Christians can stumble, not
the earnest and solemn
words Of the pastors.

SIREN BLASTS SCARE
RESIDENTS IN BRONX
Tests Of Noise Maker Throu
People Into Panic.

Citizens Of The Bronx were thrown
INTO panic yesterday noon when blasts
from siren on the roof Of the building
OF the American Bank Note Company al
hunts Point echoed over the entire Sec
tion. The first test was at ~ 80, when
the siren was blown for ten minutes, and
successive tests were made at intervals
lasting for more than an hour.
During the entire period the switch
board at Bronx police headquarters was
damned with calls. In some cases a
babel of voices could be heard over the
wire. indicating that a number Of per-
sons were waiting for a report from the
enquirer. Excitable women, some OF
whom were pushing baby carriages
rushed Tor cellars. Factory workers
telephoned the police for information
saying that the more timid girl workers
were leaving their machines The
crowds. particularly in the lower Bronx
were crying and screaming.
1t Is asserted that the bank note com
pany did not communicate Its plans to
the police and only the officers and en-
ployees OF that particular plant knew
what the noise meant. A. c. Cary, vice.
president Of the American Bank Note
Company, said the tests were made at
the request Of the Government and tina,
the police had been notified. a sergeant
being present at the trial. At Bronx
headquarters, however, il was asserted
that no warning had been given. The
siren is one of the largest type made
being a Quadruple affair, and was
mounted on the building under superv!.
sion of Government officials.
