Old Church AT SteItOn
Is Destroyed BY Fire
Building Erected in 1851
Known as "Mother Church
of the Baptists"

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 20
The Mother church of the Baptists"
situated at Stelton, was burned to
the ground early this morning in a
fire which was caused by an over
heated chimney. The two story
frame structure of colonial type was
constructed in 1851 to take the place
of the one built befors the Revolu-
tion. 1t was one OF the old land
marks OF this section and both build
ings have historical records.
The fire today was discovered at
about o'clock and lack of water
pressure is blamed for the failure of
the firefighters to check the blaze.
Hose had to be stretched distance
of 1900 feet.
When the latest church was COM
pleted. the pulpit and pews were
taken from the old edifice. These
were destroyed today but the records
of the church were saved only be-
cause of the fact that they were
kept at the home of a member OF the
congregation.
Six fire companies responded from
Highland Park, New Market. Dun
ellen, South Plainfield, Raritan
township ana Metuchen. The DAM
age may reach $4,000, and 1t is said
$4,000 insurance Is carried.

ENGLAND VOTES TODAY;
GREAT INTEREST CREATED

LONDON, Oct. 29 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Great Britain's vot-
ers went to the polls today to choose
a new Parliament to replace tnat
dissolved at the instance of the La
borite prime minister, Ramsay Mac
Donald, on October 0, following a
vote of censure in the Commons.
While some of the Laborites still
expressed confidence that the result
would show the people favorable to
their remaining in power the general
opinion was that the government
would be repudiated. The respective
strength of the parties in the new
house, however, was a subject on
which no political observer would
venture to give a public prediction.
Only the returns will tell whether
the conservatives have been able to
regain the majority over all other
parties necessary to put them back
into Office and brirk to an end the
arrangement whereby they and the
liberals until recently allowed ths-la-
borites to run the government
UP to a few days ago public inter-
est in the outcome seemed apathetic,
but the Sensational eleventh hour
publication of the alleged Zinovieff
letter urging the British communists
to intensive propaganda and organi-
cation of UNITS within the British
army and navy served to fan the
sentiment against the laborites be-
cause of their reputed lenient atti-
ltude toward the communists.
The true, effect of this develop
ment cannot be gauged accurately
in advance. II straw votes can be
taken as, indicating which way the
wind blows the strength of the lib
erals, headed by former Premirrs
Asquith and Lloyd George. Is on the
wane. and that of the conservatives
and laborites both is increasing.
|. There has been no expression of
lack of confidence, however. on the
part OF Mr.. ksquith or Mr.. Lloyd
George.

Is TAKEN BY THIS CITY

At the request of Alderman Thorn
as Patten, chairman of the street
committee, City Attorney David L.
Wilentz, while in Trenton attending
a tax meeting yesterday afternoon,
called on the State Highway Com
mission and asked them on behalf or
Mr.. Patten to reconsider their deci-
sion on the Amboy avenue PROPOSE
ton, so not only a fill but the cul-
vert could be extended.
Mr.. Wilentz informed the commis-
sioners that the road now completed
leads to nowheres and the city can
not build the culvert as it is located
outside of the city limits. he de-
clared, the city had entered into the
building of this road in good faith
and therefore felt that the commits
sioners should complete it.
After hearing the city's plea, the
commissioners authorized Commis-
sioner Jelin to visit the place in oues-
ton and make recommendation at
the next meeting of the commits
sioners. Commissioner Jelin has no
tied Alderman Patten that he will

CLAIMS LOSS OF $4,000
IN "FLIM-FLAM" GAME

Detectives of the local department
are investigating a report made by
John Kuynwaski, of Morris street,
that he was fiim-fammed" out of
$4,000 in one of the "old games" on
Monday of this week. The loss was
reported to Lieutenant Detective Jo-
seph Gutowski.
A money press was used by man
said to be from Newark and the
Morris street resident was advised
that he was to be let in on chance
to make a big pile of money. The
press used consists of two small
blocks of wood with two holes in
each for bolts to bring the blocks
together and make the money I'm
pressions.
1t is the opinion of the police that
the Newarker had two of these
presses, and in the first the regular
money was placed along with a dye
and some paper to make the new
bills. There is a possibility that
Kuynwaski was sent on little err
rand and when he left the room
where the deal was being put across
a substitute press was laid out. In
this press a load of plain paper was
found when the good hearted" New
arker had departed from the house
Victims of this class of deal are
told not to touch the money max
err for a certain length of time SC
that the person doing the swindling
can be well on his way before the
discovery is made.
The local police have received re-
ports in regard to all classes OF
swindlings and several have been
cleared up.

This Afternoon in Dar-
ing HoId-up ~
AT A CIGAR FACTORY
Car Used by Bandits Had a
Jersey License-Plot

CARTERET, Oct. ga most dar-
ing daylight hold-un was staged in
the center OF the borough at $50
this morning, when six young high
waymen ranging in ages from 20 10
"a years, held up Samuel Schwartz.
superintendent of the Chrome Cigar
Company in the company's yard and
at the point Of guns relieved him OF
$4,000. The money represented the
company's weekly payroll. All po-
lice within a radius of thirty miles
were notified OF the robbery by Chief
of Police Henry ]. Harrington and
an intense search for the men Is now
on.
Mr.. Schwartz gave a graphic de-.
scription of the hold-up to the Perth
Amboy Evening News. He said that
he. Edward Bohn. an employees OF
the company. and Charles Dalton,
son of ]. Dalton. garage proprietor,
went to the First National Bank.
here. shortly before 8 o'clock this
morning to get the payroll money.
Dalton was driving the machihe.>>
Three men usually go for the pay
| roll. Mr.. Schwartz said, IN comp1i-
ance with the rules of the insurance
company. The plant Is situated some
two blocks from the bank.
Mr.. Schwartz further related: sI
put the money into small bag and
boarded the car. We had just
driven into the yard of the plant.
when the bandits car stopped IN
front of our machine, barely escap-
ing a headon collision. Three high
waymen with drawn revolvers told
US not to make an outcry or they
would fill us full of lead They
searched the car and grabbed the
small bag. A few seconds later the
| high powered Studebaker machine
| put on the gas and went towards
| Railway"
Dalton told Chief Harrington that
! the first three numbers of the banait
car were "122." It bore a New Jer-
sey license. The hold-up was not
/ reported to the police until ten min
utes after 1t was staged. Every ef-
| fort was made to reach all police IN
this section.
Mr.. Schwartz is of the opinion that
| the men were acquainted with the
| payroll process of the plant and that
this morning to watch the superin-
tendent go to the bank. The gun
men in their machine, after noticing
Schwartz go TO the bank went back
to the yard and placed themselves
at such a point as to be able to
watch the arrival of the car with the
money. AS Dalton drove the car into
the yard, the bandit car started at
almost the same moment from the
opposite direction.
