' I Auto-owning Pastor Won’t Quit Even if Salary Is Cut Calls Machine “Car of Mercy,” and Plans to Sue Woman for Slander. WESTWOOD, Dec. 19.—Modern min isterial methods, as seen and applied by a pastor who not his training for the pulpit in the worldly realms of busi ness, have caused as much excitement in the little village of Westwood, as if the Erie railroad, which carries the better part of the population to and from New Vprl: city every day, had boosted lhe price of commutation tickets. Rev. Carl Alire.ns. who brought mat ters to a crisis wlten in the pulpit of the Calvary Baptist Church in West wood he characterized Itiose in his congregation who have “opposed the inarch of progress’ as “modern Eves" and "Judas Iscariots” (according to sex), said yesterday 1m contemplated an appeal to the courts against the "cal umniators." The parson's newly acquired second hand automobile, the .latest addition to his stock of modernistk- paraphernalia, has played a big part in the strife. The pastor says there has been gossip to the effect that the $500 paid for the ma chine. which he r ails a “car of mercy,” had been left with him in trust for his j 14-year-old nephew. He accuses Mrs. J. Herbert Bate, until recently one of the leading members of his congrega tion. of having expressed this opinion, and plans action against her for slan der. "I have applied in my work the ideas of a business man, and by so doing I have increased our 'trade.' And Just , because T have got myself an automo bile, they’re talking about cutting down my salary from $20 a week to $14,” he said. “If they cut your salary will you i quit?" asked the reporter. “No, sir, not necessarily," answered j the “fighting pastor" quickly. "Such a i move would only strengthen me In my | resolve to do the work of the Lord on ! earth. It would show me there Is just that much more to be accomplished.'” j FIRST WARD 0. 0. P.

Factory, 110-02 Arlington St. ESTABLISHED 18SO / SHOT, HIDES HALF MILE ON SHAFTS - j Br)y, Accidentally Wounded, Falls from Wagon^Shoot* er Is Held. PASSAIC, Dec. IB.—Peter Herenia, 16 years old. of Halstead avenue, Wal lington, was lield for the Grand Jury without bail, charged with shooting Carlo Brocka, 17 years old, also of Hal stead avenue. The shooting, evidently accidental, was done with a rifle, the bullet entering the spine of Brocka, who is i.ying. Herenia is a son of Michael Herenia, who was hanged several years ago for shooting and killing Barney Kanter, a Wallington butcher, who had refused to give him meat for his dog. "1 did not intend to shoot Brocka. 1 did not know I shot him, for if I did I wt>uld have tried to get away," said Herenia. He explained that he had been shooting birds near the Second street bridge over the Passaic river, when a wagon belonging to M. D. Wimple, a Passaic baker, drove across in the direction of the centre of Wal lington. He said he remembered fir- j ing about the time the vehicle was passing, although he did not knowj that he hit anyone. It appears, how ever, that the charge from his gun hit young Brocka, driving the Wimple wagon. The horse attached to the wagon walked nearly half a mile through a well built-up section of the borough before Brocka’s plight was discovered. At Wallington avenue and Lodi road the boy. lying across the shafts, over which he had fiallen when hit, saw Con stable John Chrystellne and called to him. Chrysteline assisted him Into the saloon of Robert Cook and had the boy taken to St. Mary’s Hospital. The lad was conscious when found by Cas teline.
