So Proud He Escaped
From Officer Brags Of
Feat; Leads To Arrest
Indiscreet bragging about his exploit in escaping from
the Perth Amboy police proved fatal to Frank Mershon, the
third man sought in connection with the attempted robbery
of the clothing store of Sidney Jacobson at 2/6 Smith street
on September 28. Mershon is in custody at Newark awaiting
the arrival of Detective Lieutenant John Huff who has been
sent to bring the man back to Perth Amboy to answer a
charge of breaking, entering and grand larceny.
From information received from the Newark police it
has been learned that Mershon was so proud of eluding
Officer Frank Tonghini that he felt moved to relate the oc
currence to all and sundry. In the course of his subsequent
career in Newark the boasting came to the attention of the
police of that city, who on Saturday took Mershon into cus
tody and notified Desk Lieutenant Andrew’ Jensen of the fact,
saying that They would hold the man until today.

Fire Guts Dairy Products
Store at 73 Smith St. and
Spreads to Other Shops
EARLY YESTERDAY A. M.
Woman Paints During Blaze
is Carried to Safety-Origin
• is Mystery
Damt.'jt variously estimated at
from *5,000 to 110,000 was caused
by the pre which broke out early
Sunday morning and gutted the
dairy products store at 73 Smith
street operated by Harry Landweber
of 330 New street. The blaze, which
included the adjoining businesses of
the Perth Amboy Tailoring Com
pany at 71 Smith street, and the
^ delicatessen store owned by Jacob
B A. Lesslauer. at 75 Smith street,
w was discovered by Patrolman Pat
rick Dwyer at 5:20 o’clock.
Officer Dwyer was in the act of
making his 5:15 ring to headquar
ters from the call box at the ferry
when he noticed clouds of thick
smoke arising from a point two
blocks above him. He ran up Smith
street and turned in an alarm from
box 35 at Smith and High streets,
after which Dwyer and Officer Man
aus Ludwigson entered the adjoin
ing building occupied by the Less
iturs and arouse dthem.
The family had not been awaken
ed until the arrival of the policemen
|tid Mrs. Lesslauer fainted when
Informed that the adjoining building
The woman was carried across
Smith street to the New Packer
House by the policemen, where re
storative measures were applied.
The rest of the Lesslauer family got
out of the house safely.
Some mystery seems to surround
the origin of the flames which en
dangered the three stores. Mr. Less
lauer said this morning that the
shattering of his three show case
windows had been caused by an ex
plosion. while Langweber, the owner
of the store where the blaze started
is unable to assign any reason for
the fire. He kept no explosive ma
terial in the store, it was learned.
The fire department extinguished
the flames at the dairy store and
was preparing to leave, it is said,
when the fire broke out anew the
walls of Lesslauer’s building. The
wall adjoining the location of the
original fire is badly damaged and,
with the breakage of the windows in
^ the front of the store. It is expected
B that Mr.. Lesslauer’ total loss will
W be Close to $2,500 while Langwe
ber’s loss will exceed $1,500. The
building occupied by the dairy pro
duct store is the property of Dr.
Jsadore Siegel, of 121 Market street,
and Is ahgost a total loss. The ex
act amount was not given out.
Suits and coats left at the Perth
Amboy Tailoring Company for
cleaning end pressing were injured
to the extent of $500, while rafters
and walls on the side next to the
fire are badly damaged. The extent
of this loss has not been deter
mined as yet.
Small Fire at Keasbey
KEASBEY, Oct. 10.—Fire at the
home of Thomas Daganski. near the
Fords Porcelain Works, called out
the Protection Fire Company and
Fords Fire Company at 2 o’clock
this morning. Chief William Lybeck
estimated the damage at $100.
Daganski had about two tons of
salt hay packed in one of the large
rooms of the house and it is believed
that spontaneous combustion started
the first. Are alarm was turned in
by Daganski. who was asleep in the
»room above and' was awakened by
the smell of smoke. The quick ar
rival of the fire companies saved his
home from complete destruction.

Delegation is Completed—
Lloyd George Has Confer
ence With His Cabinet
LONDON, Oct. 10 (By The j
Associated Press)—Michael Collins.
Sin Fein minister of finance, arriv
ed in London this morning complet
ing the delegation which will con
fer tomorrow with representatives
of the British government on the
Irish question.
The Sinn Fein delegates were
early at work today completing ar
rangements f<V the meeting.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
members of his cabinet also had a
meeting to decide on the course of
procedure.
Arthur Griffith said today he was
delighted with the success of the
Sinn Felnera as securing John
Chartres as third secretary, who be
sides being highly, versed in legal
matters was chief of the intelligence
section of the war office armament
output during the war and for nine
years was director of the intelli
gence department of the London
Times. Mr. Griffith said he expected
Mr. Chartres to be of great value
to the Sinn Fein representatives.
Kamon J. Dugan, Sinn Fein mem
bers of the British parliament, who
shice the truce has acted as peace
liason officer, arrived early for a
conference. He said he had arranged
to keep a substitute in close touch
regarding the truce. Murphy the
substitute, had served as liason
where he behaved with digression,
no friction having arisen between
him and the military.
The Sinn Fein delegates have de
cided not to accept any hospitality
while in England except from per
sonal friends.
Desmond Fitzgerald. Sinn Fein of
ficer of propaganda, said the con
ference commencing tomorrow
would decide to issue an agreed
communique daily as was done when
Eamon de Valera met Mr. Lloyd
George in London sometime ago. If
the British representatives have a
stenographer ffresent, the Sinn Fein
ers will claim a similar right and
brought a man from Dublin for that
purpose.
Freed Prisoners on Board
DUBLIN. Oct. 10.—Three Irish
Republicans who have just been re
leased from prison in Perth. Scot
land, were among the passengers of
the Laird line steamer Rowan which
was sunk yesterday morning off the
southwest coast of Scotland. The
vessel collided with an American
steamer.
The Clyde liner. Clan Malcolm,
rushed to the scene and in a heavy'
fog struck the Rowan. So far as is
known thirteen members of the Ro
wan’s crew and three passengers ;
were lost.
For a time it was thought mem
bers of the American Syncopated
orchestra, a colored orchestra which
has been touring Europe, had been
lost. All were saved, however. One
died after being taken from the wat
er. The loss of the Rowan greatly
excited Dublin, as the crew mostly
Irish, was known here.

week as a guard of honor at the
ceremony to be held in Westminster
Abbey. London, when General Per
