Rev. Irvine Must Leave
Parsonage Within Week
Minister Denied Citizenship ON
Charges of immortality
Reported i'm New Tersev

. The Rev. David Duncan Irvine, who
resigned from the ministry because Of
the discovery of alleged immortality
which caused citizenship to be denied
him Friday, was absent yesterday from
the parsonage of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church in Morris Park,
Queens, of which he had been pastor.
His w4fe declined to say where he
was. One report was that he was in
New Jersey. He will have to vacate
the parsonage this week, according to
the Rev. DR.. A. S. Kavanagh, district
superintendent of the church, who said
yesterday:
''Mr. Irvine will leave the parsonage
next week. / do not know what his
future plans are, but he never again
can occupy pulpit in the Methodist
church. | expect his successor will be
named in few days. | do not know
where Mr.. Irvine is at present"
Federal officials who investigated his
past and submitted the evidence upon
which citizenship was denied to the
clergyman, said that an effort would
be made to have him deported. The
statute of limitations, they said. would
prevent the prosecution of criminal
charges against him

fully dressed. Holton said, and he did
not notice him particularly.
"When the men saw me- Holton told
the authorities, "they beat IL back into
the woods. / became interested right
away. / thought that they might be-
bootleggers and thought that they
might have carried some liquor into
the woods. Otherwise I figured they
wouldn't have been so frightened when
they saw me. / strolled across the
road as il | hadn't seen them, and
made as il I were going away. In
stead, walked around and hid in the
underbrush. When the two men thought
/ had left they came out of the woods
again and got into their machine. They
had some difficulty starting IL. but
when they did they drove away in
hurry"
Because il was too dark then to
search for the cache of liquor which
Hoiton believed the men had buried in
the woods, he deferred the search until
he was through his work Friday. He
told a friend Of the incident, and they
went into the woods together last
night. Holton had gone only 100 feet
from the spot where he had seen the
two men enter the road when he came
on the body.
Detective Ferd A. David was assigned
to the case and an autopsy ordered.

Evidence Lacking

Agents Admit That Invessi-

10 Sustain Charges Caus-
ing DE Filipis's Arrest

No further evidence to connect Siiu-
seppe de Filipis, the Bayonne truck
driver, with the Wall Street bomb ex-
plosion was gained yesterday by a
score of Department OF Justice opera
tives who searched the vicinity of Bay
onne. William j. Flynn, chief of the
bureau of investigation of the Depart
ment of Justice, arrived here yesterday
from Washington to take charge of the
governments case against the accused
man and to dfecct the investigation.
Agents detailed to the case admitted
yesterday that unless further evidence
is Forthcoming before De Filipis is ar
raigned for trial next Thursday, the
governments case will probably col
lapse. The prisoner, who is being held
in the Jersey City Jail without bail,
Of the explosion, that he was never in
Wall Street in his life and never heard
of the disaster until arrested on q
charge of having been responsible for
it.
Although Department. of Justice
heads here say De Filipis was kept
under observation for four months, be-
fore his arrest, the only evidence
against him, it was learned yesterday,
Is tDe WORD or three witnesses VINO have
identified him as one of three Italians
seen in the financial district before and
after the exploson. More than dozen
other witnesses who had told Depart
ment of Justice agents Of having seen
the three Italians have failed to den-
tify De Filipis as one of the three.
A horse and wagon which the prs-
oner says he sold to Bayonne man
and which is still missing is an angle
of the case yet to be cleared up. Gov
eminent agents have said that the de-
scription of the outfit tallies with the
horse and wagon used to haul the ex-
plosive. They are making an effort to
trace it. De Filpis has established
proof that he sold the horse and wagon
before the fatal blast and the man to
whom he sold it asserts that he in turn
disposed of it to man whose name he
did not learn. Unless conclusive proof
is obtained that the vehicle was the
one used to haul the bomb government
agents said yesterday very little other
evidence against the accused man can
be presented by the government when
the case is called to trial.

PHILADELPHIA, May 21,--~The $685.
ooo jewel robbery near Ambler, which
has been shrouded in secrecy by the
state police, was committed at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Beaver
Strassburger, Normandy Farm, Gwyn-
edd valley.
Mr.. Strassburger, whose magnificent
French chateau, with its broad acres,
is one of the show places of this part
of the country, talked freely to-day of
the robbery.
The jewels, a $4,000 pearl necklace
and $4,000 tiara, are the property of
Miss Marjorie Bourne, of Oakdale, L. l.,
a sister of Mrs Strassburger and one
Of the benefciaries of the $30,oo0.o0o
estate Of the late Commodore Frederick
G. Bourne.
Madeline Geanneret, the maid, who,
state police a1lege, confessed the rob-
berry, is in the Norristown Jail. She
was held in $500 bail yesterday by
Magistrate Urban, of Amber.
Forgot Her Jewelry
Mr.. Strassburger said that Miss
Bourne came to Normandy Farm ten
days ago to visit Mrs. Strassburger,
who was Miss Mary Bourne.
After several days Miss Bourne in
terrupted her stay to visit other
friends for few days. She forgot
her jewels and left the tiara and the
necklace in her bedroom on the second
floor, part of one of the finest suites
in the home.
On her return to Gwynedd Valley
after an absence of several days Miss
Bourne discovered her jewels were
missing. She consulted her sister and
Mr.. strassburger, and the state police
were called in.
When domestics in the chateau were
quizzed by the police they said the
maid showed extreme nervousness
With this lead they investigated and
battered her with questions until her
self~control broke.
Two state troopers went to the
maids room in the servants wing, and
following her directions, are said to
have found the tiara and the necklace
hidden in a closet.
To Ask Maid Be Deported
81 am going to try to have the girl
deported," said Mr.. Strassburger to-
day. "She had been in this country
five months, and came to us from
New York family. She had good ref
erences. / am going to look into that
side of the matter.
81 don't believe she was planted by a
band of thieves. / am more inclined to
believe she is kleptomaniac, and could
not resist taking the jewels when she
discovered them in the bureau drawer"
Mr.. Strassburger is a graduate of
the Naval Academy at Annapolis. After
resigning from the navy he served as
consul general in several European
countries and as a secretary of lega-
tion at Bucharest and of the embassy
at Toxic.
Mrs. strassburger in 1919 inherited
$4,000,000 from the estate of her
father, Commodore Bourne, who was
head of the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany and director of many big corpora
tions.
Miss Bourne left Normandy Farm
this morning and returned to her Long

Before going ahead with some of the
facts about the relations between the pro-
ducers and milk dealers, feel that some
talk on profits and salaries will serve to give
some light on the remarks made during the
course of the investigation and which have
apparently made choice morsel of news.
To begin with. the amount of the profit
shown, when figured at the end of the year,
is but fraction of cent per quart Of milk
and it is the volume of business handled that
produces the large amount of profit. We
quote herewith an extract from an editorial
on the MIX Situation" in The Washington
Post of Saturday last. Speaking of the
profits and salaries revealed, it says:
Now, no one can in reason cavil at these
results, if they are reached by fair and nom
prohteering means. and the evidence so far
adduced tends to show that the margin of
profit is small and that it is the size of the
turnover that produces the big figures. In
other words. these firms have done what ev-
cry business man is trying to do, namely,
build up wide connection and consequent
large output. and there is no denying that
this is a perfectly sound and legitimate
policy.
The public should consider that sell milk
at ] cent per quart less than other dealers.
How is this2 sell only one grade of milk
and that is a good grade which deliver
to homes (snce November lst) at lac per
quart. You can buy Simpsons milk at prac-
tcally all srocers for BE per quart. The
bulk of my business is wholesale and for this
milk do not receive more than lie per
quart. have every reason to believe that
my business is run more economically and
with as little waste as any like business of its
size in the city. This means reduced over
head expense per quart therefore can sell
cheaper.
The amount of profit for year will look
large when standing alone, but when placed
beside the number of quarts of milk handled
and the magnitude of the equipment in
volved it will be seen that the margin is
indeed small. Of course, increase of bust
ness will mean increased percentage of profit
with the same overhead, but this, is true I'D
to certain point only. Beyond this point,
increased expenditure of capital is necessary
and additional equipment must be provided.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1921-11-23

In Washington there are number Of "one-
wagon" deaers These milkmen usually live
on the outskirts of the city, produce their
own milk and market it themselves, with
practically no outlay whatever for equip
ment except a team, and with no delivery
man., excepting, perhaps, a boy. Yet these
milkmen extract from the public the same
price for milk that the large dealers with
thousands of dollars get for their output
These smaller dealers are likewise put to no
expense for bottles. as they use in practically
every case nothing but bottles bought by
larger dealers. might say here that the
larger dealers, myself incluled, are supply
ing practically all the bottles and crates for
the whole city. Were these small dealers
forced to buy their own bottles las thew
should beg many of them would probably
go out of business. There should be enacted
law which would compel every dealer to
use his own bottles and prevent the public
using milk bottles for every other purpose
under the sun, such as flower vases, muc;laqe
pots, oil cans, shoe polish containers and the
like. My bottle loss this year will run $40 900
unless miracle happens to prevent it.
On the whole, the amount of profit !,
