gether about 150 strong last evening in
the home of the Industrial League of
the South Norwalk Church. at a re-
ception. lunch and entertainment,
which has been planned by the assoel-
ate committees of the different church
organizations. The affair was a great
success in every respect. and will
doubtless tend toward a former al-
liance of active church working men
of the community.

The visitors were cordially greeted
at the door and a small tag affixed to
their coats bearing their names for
purposes of introduction. This re
moved all formality and persons would
step up to each other. examine their
tags and begin conversation.

A concert was first rendered in the
Sunday school rooms of the church by
the Augmented'Fltch’s Orchestra un-
der the leadership of George E. Ing-
ham. violinist. The other members
0 the orchestra were Edward Bene~
dict. first violin; Fabian SOtiel‘Sil‘fml.
ciarionet; Julius Prunyi, comet; Wil-
liam Shepard, trombone; Frank Van
Scoy. drums; Archie Merriam. piano.
The selections were well chosen and
finely rendered.

William C. Perry, of Darlen. was the
next entertainer on the program. He
rendered three One songs in his usual
artistic manner. They were "Hungar-
ian Love Song." Roeckel: “Creole
Love Song," Smith. and “The Indif-
ferent Mariner," by Bollard. lie was
accompanied by F. S. Andrews. of Nor-
walk. _

The party then adjourned dowm
stairs. where tables had been spread
for them. 0 The entertainment was
resumed by Frederick Hoyt. ”in some

horses and their mutual disappoint-
ments. This was done in character
and was very eleven The next selec.
tion was "Foreign Vinyls of the
Statue." This was also done in char~
acer and was very good indeed.

Rev. Lewis K. Moore delivered a
brief. but witty address, which was
heartily applauded.

George H. Hirst rendered a tenor
solo in ills usual fine manner and was
applauded to the echo and cheered.

Lunch was served and all partook of
it in evident enjoyment of the good
things which were laid before them.

Rev. E. W. Byshe, of Rowayton. then
delivered an address, followed by
Rev. Frank C. Brown. of Rowayton.

W. C. Perry gave a very highly ap-

preciated reading.

Mysterious Explosion of Dyna-1
mils Takes Out Windows of
Pile Driving Apparatus

 

 

NEW YORK, May 27.——A myster-
ious explosion of dynamite which blew
out that windows of a pile driver near
the new Pennsylvania railroad bridge
over the Hackensack river in Jersey
City early today was at first reported
to the police as having destroyed the
bridge. but was ascertained later to
have caused no damage to the struc-
ture. ‘Two watchmen and three Penn-
sylvania Railroad detectives, who were
on guard. saw the flash of the explo—
sion. but could neither find any sus-
picious person in the vicinity nor dis.
cover what had exploded, nor how it
reached the bridge. The explosion

be employed on the bridge. and that.
thereupon. anonymous threats were
made to blow up the bridge and the
lives of some of the railroad onlclals.
All knowledge of such letters was
denied at the offices of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad In Jersey City' today.
The rnllroad officials denied that there
had been labor troubles of any kind
in the building of the bridge. That
the explosion was the result of a plot
by disgruntled workmen was pro-
nounced absurd by‘an employs of the
superintendent’s office,

It Is believed that a powerful exploo
sive floated down the river on the
tide. whether by design of some mal-
icious person or by accident is un-
known. A rigid investigation was in
progress today.

The new bridge is being built on
piles and when it is finished the old
bridge, which it is to replace. will be
removed and the new bridge floated
down ,on rafts to the site of the old

 

. structure.

LEN HEIRS

Lawyer Pettus, of England.
Who Told Them Vivid Stories.
Has Not Returned, and the
Expected Legacy Has Not
Yet Arrived in This State

Were the numerous heirs of Captain
Samuel Allen. an old sea captain of
the Revolutionary period who was lost
at sea, the preoperative victims of an
elaborate game of film llam, In con—
nection with the representations made
to several of them that they were
long lost heirs of an old English es-
tate worth many millions?

That is the question which Is now
agitating the minds of the heirs, who
lave multiplied rapidly of this since
the original publication of the story
of the lawyer's visit to Mrs. Frank K.
Rogers. of Beechwood avenue, Bridge
port, In the Sentinel recently. Noth~
ing more has been heard of the gen-
tleman and many have now concluded
that the fortune story is pure fic-
tion,

Not that the heirs themselves are
lacking in sincerity about It. While
skeptical as first stated, they still
have hopes that the statements mfi‘tle
them in apparently good faith by “Mr.
Pettus" will prove to be based upon
facts and not fancy. Association of
tho heirs for the purpose of discussing
the matter has brought to light some
disappointing truths, one of which is
that ”Mr. Pettus" did not tell the
same story to each heir. His state-
ments. when compared, have some
glaring inconsistencies, it is said.

Mrs. Rogers was first visited by the
distinguished looking caller who was
invited to call again when Mr. Rogers
was home or to see him at his place
of business. But the man kept away
from Mr. Rogers and bus done all of
his talking to the women heirs. shun-
ning the men entirely. The. stranger
saw only a small portion of the heirs
and used some very extravagant lan-
guage. He told one of them that the
Allen fortune would aggregate 3160.-
000.000 and that there Would be at
least $1,000,000 for each of them.

Before going to Bridgeport. the
stranger. who said he was an English
lawyer, went to the office of a serious
tionnl New York newspaper and gave
it a story to the effect that he was
coming. to Count-client to search in
FairlioId county for the long lost heirs
of Captain Allen and that there were
many millions in the bank of England
waiting to be taken away. The Allen
heirs are probably as near to getting
the fortune that has been resting In
the bank for lit) years. according to
the story of the stranger. as they ever
will be,

Another Allen Heir.

Another one of the heirs to the mil-
lions of the late Capt. Samuel Allen
has been found. She is Mrs. Sarah
Ann Allen Josselyn, of 594 Howard
nvrnuo. Bridgeport. Mrs. Jossciyn says
that. she Is a grand niece. of the soil
captain and that she remembers vi-
vidly many of the stories which hcr
fnther used to tell of the remarkable
mirror of the captain who was lost
of son. leaving his fortunc In an Eng-
lish bank to accumulate the millions
which the heirs are unable to obtain
because the chanccry court of England
has never been satisfied that It had
found all of those who it believes have
a legal claim to the money.

With Large Attendance

g“... m...

Every feature of the reception of
the graduating class of the Over Riv-
er High School at. lsockwood‘s Hall.
last evening. was most enjoyable. A
large number of guests were present
to either participate in the festivities
or view the pretty dancing scene of the
floor from the galleries. The occa-
sion was most successful in every par~
ticuiar.

The hall presented a brilliant scene
with its handsome decorations'On the
stage were many potted plants. con-
sisting of palms, rubber plants. and
other greenery, while two large boy
trees served as an entrance to a
booth at one side of the hall.

The music was a... that could be de-
sired and was furnished by the Wheo
Icr and Wilson orchestra, of Bridge‘
port. the members of which were sent,
ed behind the stage greenery. On the
dancing programs were twenty danc-
es, and catchy and up-todate music
was invariably played.

The' floor was filled with the merry
throng of dancers from the first. to the
“Good Morning." George L, Woodward
was the efficient fioor manager. and he
had as his aids Louis W. lseonard and
Spencer 8. Adams. The conditions of
a warm night were ameliorated by the
Refreshment booth. from which ice
cream, cake and soda water were serv-
ed.

BERGER BOUND OVER
UNDER $750 BAIL

Believed that His Shooting of
Silk was Justified hy Treat-
ment He Had Received

 

Charles Berger. charged with assault
with intent to murder Thomas Silk by
shooting him recently. was tried In
the town court. yesterday afternoon.
before Judge Joseph R. Taylor and
probable cause being found. was bound
over to the next term of the Superior
Court in ball of 3750.

Chief of Police Volliucr acted as in
icrprcter for the court. Berger is a
German. but it is very diflicuit to un—
derstanl him. as he streaks a dialect
which is considerably («duplicated b,\
a smattering of English words. He
claimed that Silk had knocked him
down and taken his money away from
him on a previous occasion. He seem-
ed to be quite unconcerned about his
fate and not at all excited. evidently
believing that. his course had been jus-
tified by the teasingISlllr and other
men had done previously.

Tile witnesses who testified in re
gnrd to the shooting were Charley

Associated Building Trades, of‘
Chicago. Withdraws Its
Moral and Financial Support
from the Teamsters, and Fin-
ancial Stringency May
Wreck the Strike

.___._.——-.-—-

CHICAGO. May ZTrAttentlon ,oI.‘
strikers and‘empioyers was centered
largely today on the effect of the ac-
tion of the Associated Building Tradefl,
accounted the strongest; labor body In
Chicago and representing In Its mem-
bership upwards of 1.800 union work-
men. This body, having withdrawn
both moral and financialsupport from
the teamsters’ cause. the first effort
will be to cut of; nearly $1,000 a week
from the strikers' funds. The subse-
quent eff-cot ls problematical. many
thinking It means the first break In
the struggle, the beginning of the end.
in any event. it seems to check the
peril to the whole building interests
of the city—a situation which had be
come one of the great problems of the
strike.

Further, this withdrawal! of finan-
ces are a serious problem. The res
posse to the request for contributions
from the country at large has. it Is
alleged. not been up to expectations.
and with a daily expense of $10,000.
financial stringency may be the rock
on which the strike will be wrecked.

As a result of the teamsters’ strike
a new low record in the price of coal
'as compared with previous depressins
during the past ten years has been
established.
