ONE MAN BADLY BURNED
Started 10 Garage Of Therkei-
son Rros.---Auto Is De-
stroyed

Children playing with matches
started fire early Saturday afternoon
in Therkelson's garage on Prospect
street which spread to the storehouse
where hay, feed and other goods were
kept. and finally to the handkerchief
factory of c. s. Dawson, which was
scorched. The total damages due to
the fire amounts to $500; $4,000 to
the Therkelson concern and 5000 to

Ildb i6 IIOSS anu OASHtACdl AOlIlpdLly
were first, closely followed by the
Protection Hook and Ladder Company
and the Lincoln Engine Company.
The garage was a mass OF flames
when the fremen arrived. Quick
work on the part of the fire laddies
under Chief Ford and his assistants.
saved considerable property in that
section. The fire was hard to fight.
due to the excessive smoke issuing
from the brick building where the
hay and straw was stored. A great
deal Of this material was hauled out,
and in this way the fire was easier to
get at. The Washington Hose and
Chemical Company were called out
about fifteen minutes after the other
companies were on the scene. Their
chemicals were big assistance in
fighting the smoke.

and face burned trying to fight the
fire.

buildings for about an hour, when the
under control taps were given.
The garage and feed storehouse Is

LAYMAN TALK On
DUTY Of CHURCH
Address Congregation al St.
Peters Last Night

Two laymen spoke on the nation
wide campaign of the Episcopal
church at the evening service in 8.
Peters church last night. They were
Frederick NJ. z. Pearse, of Metuchen,
and Edward Savage, of Railway.
Both men told of the need of an
awakening on the part of tho church
to present day conditions and urged
the members of st. Peters parish to
get behind the campaign now on to
put new life and vigor in the work OF
the church.
The general falling off in attend
ance at church services was COM
mented on. 1t was shown that If the
present ratio continued there would
be no church left II those who pro-
fess and coll themselves churchmen
do not shake off their indifference.
The forces of evil, it was declared,
are abroad They are working as
never before. The I. w. w, Bolshev-
ism, Communism are stalking up and
down the land threatening not only
the nation, but the very family life Of
the people.
The strikes and discord, with de-
fiance of authority, whether 1t be the
authority of the government or the
authority of labor union officials, is be-
ing openly defed and people are be-
coming concerned.
The solution Is to be found in the
church. tho speakers said last night.
Unless the forces for good, as repre-
sented In the various religious organ
izations, assist themselves and show a
little more interest in their own well
fare they will be overwhelmed.
1t was brought to the attention of
the congregation that It IS estimated
that over 100000 children In the
United States are receiving no religious
education whatever today. This was
declared to mean church suicide.
1t is TO arouse the Episcopal church
throughout the land to q realization Of
its duty that the nationwide campaign
Is being held. Laymen everywhere are
erousing themselves to their sense of
obligation.
AS a further move in the campaign
in St. Peters parish two parish mass
meetings are to be held, one tonight
and another tomorrow night. Rev.
Horace s. George Berrill, of Plainfield.
will be in charge. The meetings are
to be held in st. Peters parish house
In Rector street beginning at 7;45
o'clock. Matters of vital Importance
to every churchman Will be dis
cussed.

RECEIVE REPORT
On CITY zones
City Attorney Informed Of Re-
suits Of Inspection Here

City Attorney Leo Goldberger has
received from the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners a copy of the
report made by one of that boards
inspectors of the distance between
the trolley zones established by the
Public Service Railway Company.
The report states that I'm zoning
O. property with the characteristics OF
the Public Service Railway Company
1t was impossible and impractical in
all cases to make all zones of equal
length. The company endeavored to
make transfer points, points of heavy
loading and railroad stations zone
limits. On the Middlesex line, which
operates from New Brunswick to
Perth Amboy. the zones were laid out
so as to take care of the greatest
number of traffic"
THE zone between Water street
and Goodwin street" the report says,
rs $3.50 feet long. The second zone,
located between Goodwin street and
Florida Grove road, is 4,224 feet in
length. The third zone, extending
from Florida Grove road to Pole No.
1886, is 4,7S0 feet in length. The
fourth zone extends from Pole No
1876 to Fords Corner and is 5,S08 feet
In length"
thAS t"o VI the lITSC TOUR zones are
less than mile in length, one is ex-
actly q mile and one is 52S feet more
than mile. The average length, ac-
eording to the statement, Of one zone
is s, 1874 feet.
The length9ning of the zone which
extends to the city line would mean
the shortening of the next zone. or
the reduction Of the long zone of
5,S42 feet between Fords Corner and
pole 1895. The inspector reports that
he believes that since this territory Is
thickly populated the shortening of
this zone would affect many riders and
that the zone plan should remain as
1t is at present
The average length of the zones on
the Railway line between Westfield
Junction and Smith and State streets,
the report says is 5,299 feet The first
zone his figures show Smith and State
street to Parker street Is 497S feet.
The second. to Maurer road, $500: the
third zone, to Oakland avenue 4,113
feet and the fourth. to Woodbridge
Creek, 5,403 feet The average length
of the first four zones on this line is
5000 feet.

Politics, Germany Thinks.

BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-Failure by the
United States senate 10 ratify the
treaty between the Allied powers and
Germany is considered the result of
partisan politics by Die Neit, which
commented today on the situation.
I'VE must accustom ourselves to the
fact that the situation upon which.
for us life and future depends, is
treated In America largely as a politi-
cal party" said the-newspaper. mot
because the treaty displeased the Re
publicans, who were more inimical to
Germany than the Democrats, not be-
cause they find conditions too hard for
Germany do they condemn 1t. but be-
cause the Democratic leader signed the
treaty and they wish to discredit him
and his party in becoming elected.
