Tottenville. Sept 18:—A fire that
did about $100 damage to the tailor
shop of Joseph Alterman at 213 Main
street at 1:45 o'clock this morning
caused considerable excrement for a
time in that section and routed the
family ot Harry Leventon, the owner
of the building, who live upstairs,
out in their night clothes. The biaze
was discovered by Alonzo Wood, of
335 Bayway street, a railroad brake
man, who was passing tne place cn
his way home from work He called
to Patrolman Streeter, who was
nearby, and while he ran tc Are îjCX
No. 35, at Main street and Amboy

I and his family. By the time the
] firemen of Engine Company No. lt'l
, and Hook and Ladder Company No.

doomed.
j The back of the store was all

' men under Captain Wall and Lleu
j tenant Butler long to extinguish the
j blaze. The building, which is a big

Well Fitted for Position.
Special Ιο I he EVEXINO ATEWS.
Roosevelt, Sept. 18.—-The follow?
ing is a clipping taken from the
"Evening Sentinel," Ansonia, Conn.,
that will be of interest to many of
the citizens of this community, es
pecially by the members and friends |
of the local Y. M. C. Α.:
"J. D. Elmendorf, assistant secre-1
tary of the Derby and Shelton Young!
Men's Christian Association, has ten
dered his resignation to accept the
position of general secretary of the
Y. M. C. A. at Roosevelt, New Jer
sey. Mr. Elmendorf came to Derby
a little more than four years ago, to |
succeed Calvin Ballard, who went to 1
Waterbury. Previous to coming to ι
Derby he was a student in Taylor ;
University, Indiana, graduating from |
there in 1911. His work In connec-1
tlon with the local association has |
been of a high order and has meant
much to the development of all the
departmental activities of the organ- '
ization. His appreciation has been !
strong of the all around work that
an up-to-date association should do
and he has co-operated fully and en
thusiastically with all the depart
ments and committees, and auxilia
ries in the working out of plans and
then securing the results.
"Mr. Elmendorf has also had a
deep interest In every thing which 1
has been for the good of the com- !
munity. During the past year he !
was president of the Derby Civic j
Club and gave much time and
thought to that organization. He j
was a leader in the work of the Der
by M. E. church, of which he was
a member, especially in the Epworth j
League and the Sunday school Many
of the churches and their subsidiary
societies have called upon him for
advice and assistance. Throughout
hip whole time in this field, his ser
vice has been marked with a spirit
of earnestness and zeal and the de
sire to be of the largest value in
every possible way, especially to
older boys and young men.
"He has a very large acquaintance
in this community and all who know
him will be interested in his success
in the new field where he is to be lo
cated. He has the best wishes of
the people of Derby and Shelton."

A .
Athletic*».
The track team of the Roosevelt
Y. M. C. A. on Labor Day at the meet
in Milltown captured a few more
honors and trophies. The following
members were entered in the meet:
Messrs. Janovsik. Young, Cutter,
Fitzgerald, Kapushy, Price, Carleton
and Nuguy. Clayton Young carried
the field in the 440-yard dash, finish
ing strong although he was handi
capped fifteen yards. Henry Carle
ton won third place in the one-mile
race and Price finished a close
fourth. George Janovsik in the five
mile run finished eighth, but made
a strong race, losing the prize hon
ors because of the liberal handicap
the other competitors were given
over him. There were one hundred
men who started in the five-mile
race and when Fitzgerald finished \
eighteenth it was considered re
markably well and his admirers
look for a better showing from him
in the coming meets.
The track team is growing and at
the present time twenty members
are on the team. Plans are now In
the works for special activities this
fall and winter that when the out
door season opens next spring the
men will be in strong condition.
Last Saturday Manager Goderstad
saw his men add two more silver
cups to their collection. Accompa
nied by a few friends the team en
tered the athletic meet in Newark.
Janovsik won first place in the mile
and Cutter came in third in the final
heat in the 100 yard dash. The
time for the tmile was 4 minutes 51
seconds, and Cutter's time in the 100
was 10 3-5, which was one-fifth
slower than first. Nuguy finished
fourth In the one-mile walk. Young
running scratch, allowing a twenty
yard handicap in the 440, took the
fourth place honors, however, de
feating McCormick, from Perth Am

The next meet will be held in
Newark today and the Y. men are
hoping to make an equal if not a
still better showing.

POLICE ARE HURT
IN
Jersey City Reserves are Called
Out to Rescue Comrades—
Chisels, Axes, Clubs Used.
Jersey City, Sept. 18.—The [iolice re
serves of Jersey City succeeded In
quelling the first riot of longshoremen
who went on strike for higher wages
Chisels, aies, stones and clubs were
flying through the air at Jersey ave
nue and Canal street for almost a half
hour, until several men and a woman
were taken away In a patrol wagon.
A small contingent of strikers and
their sympathizers, including men.
women and children, gathered at the
Lehigh Valley freight depot to express
their mutual grievances to the men
employed by the railroad. When the
four policemen who were stationed at
the river front to prevent any dis
turbance attempted to quiet the mob
they were ridiculed and insulted.
In a short time the air was full of
missiles, which the mob began hurling
with such perfect aim that the police
men were compelled to seek shelter.
A telephone call summoned every
available policeman in the city to the
rescue of their comrades, and several
arrests followed. Patrolman Clark,
who had a hand to hand battle with
Theodore Reshinski of 2090 Grand ave
nue and his wife, Frances, finally suc
ceeded in subduing the pair and lead
ing them to a patrol wagon. The po
liceman alleged that the woman manip
ulated her finger nails with wonderful
skill, while her husband was a clever
artist with a chisel.
Three other men were arrested. They
were Tony Llplnsky, thirty-two, of 20βθ
Grand avenue; William Bolley, twenty
five, and Charles Miller, both of 2373
Grand avenue.
Frank Hague, director of public
safety, declared that Sheriff Eugene
Kirkhead had promised assistance
should there l>e any more trouble.
The longshoremen and freight hand
lers went or strike Thursday, asking
for more wages. Their leaders stated
that they had to work more than usual
because of the large number of war
orders from the allies.
About 200 freight handlers and labor
ers left the employ of the Jersey Cen
tral rallroall in the Communipaw
yards and piers when they were in
formed of the action taken by the men
of the IiOhlgh Valley railroad. Captain
T. J. Murphy of the Communipaw ave
nue station and forty policemen had
no <}lfflculty in keeping order. No ar
rests were made.

Be "heating-ready"—Early!
Do you own a home, or a property
to rent or to sell which has been
closed for many months past and
which carries the stigma (known to
many) "poorly heated?" If so, the
first thing to do this Fall is to give
the building a home-making, tenant
attracting value, by installing an
outfit of
American χ. Ideal
γ—1 D /V |q Do it early — when the best artisans are not
J. Y. RADIATORS JLdQILERS rushed and prices are favorable. Then you start
right; and, as case may be, you insure to your
folks, or to any renter or buyer, that the building is going to be warm for all winters to come
—free of ashes and coal dust, with full money's worth from every coal bill. To a building
formerly heated by old-fashioned devices an IDEAL-AMERICAN outfit adds something
never there before, namely — an atmosphere that satisfies. You have an even, balmy,
cleanly, generous volume of warmth in every room —always tempered to suit the varying
needs of Spring, Fall and Winter. Our special SYLPHON Heat Regulators keep IDEAL
Boilers automatically regulated; no over-heating and fuel waste, no under-heating and chilly
rooms. You can have comfortable nights, pleasant mornings, cozy evenings—and perpetual
freedom from fuel-extravagance or regulating the dampers.
IDEAL Boilers are built with grates, fire pots and heating surfaces
which extract the most heat from all fuels — wood, oil, gas, coke,
lignite, hard or soft coal—even run-of-mine, pea-coal, screenings, or
slack. AMERICAN Radiators are made in every shape necessary
for putting under windows, along walls, in corners, pantries, etc.,
and in special forms for ventilation. All are subjected in our special
heating laboratories to highest tests for strength, durability and
utmost heating results per pound of fuel burned.
You can make no better building investment, for in IDEAL-AMERICAN heat
ing everything is water-backed "iron-to-iron," no parts to wear out, rust out, or
call for packing—no annual over-hauling or repairs bills. These economies, with
fuel savings, pay dividends far better than money-in-bank at 6%. Whether in
country or city, whether it is an old or new house, store, school, church, etc.,
