NEW M0T0RCAR PARK
AT FERRY IN CAMDEN
Confusion Marks Change, but
System Provided by Company
Improves Situation

Considerable confusion wss occa-
stoned this morning when the hundreds
of automobilists who daily park their
cars outside the Camden terminal of
the Market street ferries arrived there.
Since the New Jersey trolley zone
fare system has been in effect, changes
in the street plans have been under
way. Today huge black signs greeted
automobilists with the announcement
that parking was forbidden in the
street because of the repairs now under
way.
Provision was made by officials of the
ferry company for caring. for the cars
on its grounds leading into the old
ferry house north 'of Market street.
Motorists were directed to n gateway
leading to the open ground in the rear
There cinder driveway had been
laid off and a heavy wire fence erected
to protect the parked cars from out -
siders. The ferry company also pro
vided n private watchman to look after
the machines.
The closing of the street. however,
left space for the hundreds of iit-
neys to load and unload in the campaign
against the trolley fares. The ferry
company. controlled by the Pennsylva
mia Railroad. owns all the property
from Delaware avenue. Camden. to the
ferry house. including the streets which
are laid over private rights of way and
are maintained by the company
Removal of the old trolley loops since
the erection of the bull pen now
used by the Public Service Corporation.
has necessitated these street changes
which are being made by the ferry
company.

NOTES BY SUICIDE
ACCUSE IRON MEN
Letters Written by George E.
Feist Name Several in Mt.
Carmel Co. Shortage
THEIR IDENTITY WITHHELD

When it was learned today that
George T.. Fcist, general manager of the
Mt. Carmel Pa. Iron Works. who
committed suicide on train on his way
from Philadelphia to Mt. Carmel, left
letters naming other men as respcnsi
BILE for the 500, 200 shortage charged
against him. there was speculation as to
who were mentioned.
Fcists letters have been placed in
the hands of attorneys representing the
Mt. Carmel Iron Works, who will de l.
eide what action will be taken. Mean :
while. the names of the persons are
being kept secret.
Mrs. Feist, who thinks her husband
was the victim of others, asserts the
letters will show he was not RESPONSE =
bic for the shortage.
Feist's letters were written just be-
fore he killed himself
Question Possession Of Gun
Another matter under discussion to :
day is how Feist obtained the revolver
he used to end his life. He was a
prisoner, in custody. and it is not un
derstood how he could have had a
weapon concealed upon him when he
entered the train.
Feist's letters were addressed to Rob
ert Muir, president of the company
s. II. Beigstresser, treasurer: j. r..
Bastress. president of the Guarantee
Trust Bank, and Mrs. Feist.
Was Efficiency Expert
Feist arrived i'm Mount Carmel four
years ago from Boston as an accountant
and efficiency expert to assist in getting
the iron works out of financial strin-
gency. He showed such aptitude and
executive ability that he was made gen =
eral manager and the industry was
placed upon a firm footing. Recently HE
had spent much time in Philadelphia
and New York living at leading hotels
and clubs and is understood to have
spent with a lavish hand.
News of shortages in his ac
counts did not become generally known
until after his suicide. Fcist's letters,
it is intimatcd by persons in close touch
with the cmbezzlement and suicide. in
dicate that others were involved with
him and give details as to the dispo
sition of the money The directors of
the iron works and local bankers
met attorneys for the purpose of going
into the prosecution of the person or
persons indicated by Fcist in his last
letters.

WATCH YOUR STEP -

very best musical dancing plays thai
have been contributed to the amuse-

come to the Wheaton Theatre, Wei.
ser, for one night, Tuesday, Nov. IS
The story is very light, as is prop
er in dancing play, with very a
musing story running throughout the
three acts and seven scenes in which
it is written. Then there are twenty
odd special song numbers, all from
the pen of Mr.. Berlin and therefore
distinctly whistleable. The titles of a
few that are being whistled and
sung in almost every tongue include:
Settle Down In A One-Horse Town"
When Discovered You," Lead
Ne To Love" 1.-THE Dancing Teach
err THE Minstrel Parade" "They
Follow Me Around" Show Us How
To Do The Fox-Trot," 81 Love To
Have The Boys Around Me- and
"Old Operas in New Way. Mr..
Berlin has written several new songs
especially for this seasons tour of
Watch Your Step"
AS to scenery and costumes.
Watch Your Step can claim as
elaborate and effective an investiture
as any company en- tour. Seldom has
there been a more novel stage pic
ture devised than that which is
shown in the second act representing
The interior of the Metropolitan OPP
era House, New York, wherein is
depicted merry burlesque of grand

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

1t is understood that churches are
now working by programs more than
at former times. These programs are
intended to bring out particular
phases of truth at the most suitable
time. The Presbyterian program has
for the month OF November the
theme 'Americanization." In the
theme itself we agree with many who
do not profess themselves Christian.
We seek the same results. We differ
as to the method by which the N-
suits can be attained. Nothing less
than "Christianization," has for us
any promise of real improvement. Il
is not easy to hold the faith that
Christ as Lord can resolve the diff
ficulties that confront us; but it is
a certainty that nothing else has
any promise at all. 1t is no easier to
defeat the devil than to defeat the
kaiser but easy or hard it has to
be done in one case as well as the

results by Outstanding, and have
set their hopes on some catastrophe
that will annihilate evil doors with
out any trouble on our part. We do
not read our Bible so. Rather we I'M
1erstand that we are entrusted with
power to change people so they will
De no longer hurtful to their fellows,
md will themselves become helpers
n making Americans all that we
mean by the word "Americanization.'
