Consholjodien tcorfcr 44S:J CONSHOHOCKEN' PA. TUESDAY MAltCII M) 1909 $1 PER YEAR A NEAR MURDER AT BLACK HORSE FIGHT AMONG ITALIANS OVER A GIRL, LEADS TO A SHOOTING AND STABBING AFFRAY. As the retail of a shooting and stab-bing affray thai oecured among the Italian residents of Black Hone, Ply-mouth township, Sunday afternoon, one Kalian is at Charity He and another la cursing several stab wounds, in jail. The affra) occui red about I 81 o'clock in thi aft< rnooD and from whal can l)' learned was all due to the at-tempt, d abduction ol Roale Caparelli, daughtn in Oslo OaparelU, at noon on Sunday. Rosie is employed ft! L«e'« mills. Bhe is a bister of Felix and is also a Brat cousin of John, who is in jail. It Is alleged that John's brother-in law wanted Rosie and plan-ned an abduction which was to have been carried into effect at noon on Sat-urday when the girl quit work. This brother-in-law and friend* are said to have been waiting for the girl with a closed hack, but they were foiled, says Osto, the father. He heard something of the abduction and be was on hand when the mill closed on Saturday. Before the alleged abductors couM cauy out their purpose the father had placed Roale on n trolley car an 1 had started for Norristown, reaching their home in Plymouth safely later on. Felix knew nothing of this attstunt-ed abduction of his sister until Sun-day and men he accused bis nrst cousin, John, of being a conspirator. Just how the men got together or who first attempted the life of the other Is what the police have yet to learn. John says that Felix attacked! him with a huge knife, whereupon he shot him three limes. He told the police Sunday night that Felix stabbed him in the aim and the head before he finally began shooting. No statement has been secured from Felix and the ethers interested will say but little. The police know, however, that there was a light between thj two men and that nearly all the residents of Dia-mond Avuiue joined in, taking sides, some with John and eonie with Felix. The loud reports of the revolver shots followed by the screams ot the residents ol the vicinity alarmed the American Citizens u«ur Black Horse, and they telephoned to the Norristown police for assistance. Chief Roden-baugh hurriedly summoned Officers Corrigan,' Mohii, White, James and Conrun and despatched them to the scene. They .made the trip in Livery-man Wilsons automobile and when they reached Diamond avenue the smoke was just clearing away after the battle. The .sight of the policemen cowed the Italians and all sought the seclusion ot their homes, thinking to escape arrest It was no easy mailer for the po-lice to tenet out the principals but they liiuiliy i(Ot Felix and John and bustled these two back to Norria-town, taking the former to the hos-pital. Later they arrested Osto Cap-exelll and Tony Lubo, who were said to have been principals in the light. John Bodo, who had handled his re-volver quite reckleBsly and whose ■tray shots had narrowly missed killing several persons, made his es-cape. Two other Italians who had Joined in the scrap also got away and they were last seen going' in the direction of Conshohocken. After the police had managed to clear up the mess In which they found themselves they took account of matters. Salvatore Picardo had been shot in the head but the bullet bad made only a scalp wound and he Is not seriously hurt. John Ijenlzl, a small boy, had gotten In the way of one of the many stllletos that had been brought into use and his hand was badly cut, but he is In no serious eondlUon. Several other Italians were slightly cut and bruised in the m» lee, but the bullets of the shooters bad gone wild and no one except Felix Caparelli was struck. At the hospital they found two bul-let holes in his body, while a third bad entered his neck and had torn Uvway a poition of the jaw. It is said that a fourth wound was caused by a bullet but the condition of the man WM such that a probe could not be made. He is said to be in a precarious condition. Dr. Miller dressed John's wounds, which are also serious. One Stan wound penetrated the left arm while another entered the top of his head. Severs) physicians went to Black Horse and attended the Injuries of those slightly hurt. Sunday night John Caparelli, Osto Caparelli and Tony Lubo were ar-raigned before Magistrate O. L. Len-in, nit. Alter he hail heard the evi-dence the magistrate committed John OaparelU to jail lor a further hearing. Osto Caparelli and Lubo were held in their own recognizance when want-ed, it was stated yesterday mat both had left lor parts unknown. At noon to-day it was stated at Charity Hospital that i-viix Caparelli .■still alive, and despite the fact that there are at least four bullet wounds in his body, he is doinn nice-ly. THE BAPTIST OPENING Three very interesting and largely attended services were held in the Ilaptist Church on Sunday in connec-tion with the initial use of their new social and Sunday school buildings. The Sunday School rightly occupied the chief place of interest in the morning, and the happiness of the chil-dren seemed complete as they took possession of their new quarters. In the afternoon, Dr. Joseph K. Sagebeer gave a splendid address to the mass meeting of men and woman, and at night, from the pulpit of the auditor-ium, Dr. C. A. Soars brought the day to a close with a fitting and appro-priate sermon on Christian service.

School closing will begin in the sev-en- month schools the early part of next month. During the course of a conversation with Superintendent l.andis a Herald representative inquired whether he had much difficulty In reaching the schools of the outlying townships on account of bad roads, to which ques-tion Mr. l.andis replied: "Difficulty, well I should say I have difficulty in reaching some ot the schools. And the strange part of it is that the greatest trouble Is In town ships where there Is plenty of native stone to mtfko food roads." Asked In which townships were the worst roads, Mr. Landis mentioned Limerick. Skippack, Hatfleld, Fran-conia, Douglass and Frederick. "The worst roads are In Douglass," added the professor. "Well, would It not be a good Idea to teach good roads in the schools of these townships?" asked the newspa-perman. "Yes, I believe it would. I am doing all I can along that line but progress is slow." Mr. Landis went on to say that the people of these districts are sort of "good enough for father is good enough for me" people, so that inno-vations are looked upon with suspic-ion. If considered at all. The Inconveniences, if not actual drawbacks, which somo teachers and directors endure is illustrated in a school not many miles distant from Norristown. The school house is built beside a stone crusher—or more correctly, perhaps, the stone crusher is built beside the school house, for the schoolhouse was first on the ground. The rattle of the ma-chinery makes it possible for the pu-pils to whisper without being heard by the teacher; In fact, it Is neces-sar yto pitch the voice at its highest to be heard in recitation. Yet the school keeps on, the dust fairly show-ering into the schoolroom, so that it is possible to work problems on the blackboard without the use of chalk, only the finger. And yet the direc-tors, like the teacher and the pupils are used to It, and having the machin-ery stopped or the school removed Is the thought fartherest from their minds. This Is' on a par with that district which pays a big man $45 a month to teach in a school where the enrollment is eight and the average attendance Is four. The directors would not think of reducing expenses by closing the school and transporting the pupils to another school for about $15 a month.

QUAKER CITY CHANGES DATE Owing to a conflict in dates with the Norristown Automobile Club's en-durance run the Quaker City Contest Committee has changed the date of its auto run to Plttsburg and return to May 11. It was previously arrang-ed to hold the run on the 19th, but this was the same date as the Nor-ristown trip to Hagerstown and, as the latter club had already received the sanction of the A. A. A. for the event, the date was shifted. Women have always been a potent Influence In the saving of money. A man of limited means relies . wholly on the efforts of his WJfi tor saving something out of his v. Hj salary. Probably in no other saving; Insti-tution is this tact well demons as in the savings and loan UKM Women use their method ol tavh tor the purpose of putting aside som« hlng for the proverbial rainy day. There has been much dltcutsl B at to the ability of women to enti r into competition with men, but no i tier how men may differ as to theii iliil-ity in other fields, it must be con ded that where women have taken part in the management of the bulldin and loan associations they have always been successfully and honestly con-ducted. , The membership of the Teachers' Building and loan Association and the Teachers' Co-operative Building and loan Association, both of New York City, is largely made up of teach, is in the New York City Public Schools, and the women directors take an ac-tive part in the deliberations of the board. Frequently the women direc-tors are sent to appraise property, and their reports often give valuabu in formation that a man would pa?i by. Mrs. Minnie E. Phillips Is the sec-retary of the Salamanca Building and loan Association of Salamanca, N. Y., and successfully manages the affairs of that corporation, with assets of nearly $500,000. The Niagara Permanent 6uvings and loan Association is another insti-tution most successfully managed by a woman. Miss Ann E. Rae. This In-stitution has assets of $900,000. col-lects and disburses over $500,000 year-ly, and is recognized in the community in which it operates as an institution of which every citizen can be proud. Mrs. C. W. Bowers is the secretary of the Mount Morris Co-operative Building and Loan Association, an in stltution that has been doing business in "Harlem for over twenty years. Wheye women take an Interest in a building and loan association it uni-versally follows that the association is continually adding to its m< nlior-ship and attracting to Itself a class of people that cannot be reach-d in any other way. It would be a good thing If the Con-shohockejj building and loan asrocia-tlons could Induce the women lo be-come directors. A number of the shareholders are women, and If one or more were on the board of dives-ton of each of the associations ol our vicinity, the number of women share-holders could be Increased. • • ■ Nicholas Gilbert, besides being a good operator In the Electrical Bu-reau at the City Hall, Is a pedestrian who loves to get next to nature by indulging weekly in long walks in one of the suburban sections. One oj his favorite trips Is from Chestnut Hill to Plymouth Meeting and back to Chest-nut Hill. Mr. Gilbert, who Is strenu-ous- looking young man, was walking over the pike Tuesday when he was accosted by an old friend who asked: "What are you doing here?" "Why," said the employee 61 the Department of Public Safety, "1 come out here winter and summer a; I in-dulge In eight miles of a walk while other city folk sit at home and talk of the value of fresh air as a health builder. Vou kuow Roosevelt walked ten miles in the rain. And if he walk ed that much in such weather I guess I can do the same in good weather. Besides, I find that my health It bet-ter. And when I return to the office my work does not seem so bin den-tome, for the reason my brain is clearer." Before the friend could say another word the operator was strid-ing down the pike from Barren Hill In the direction of Wlssalilekon Creek. •STAiNER'S CRUCIFIXION Everything for Easter—Good and re liable, at Bent's.

Every seat in the church was taken, it being n« c-ettary to place chairs in the aisles to accommodate people, many of whom were troin Norristown and other near-by towns. The singing of Messrs. Pagdin and Sullivan was artistic, and both Im-parted thi as also the duet, with much feeling and taste, both be-ing in good voice. During > 11 offer-tory .Miss Fronefield sane "Gonnod'a" Repentance. Her voice was clear and tweet and she sang with a great deal of sympathy, Tite lninoi solos were all well sunn bj Mettrt. J. B. Holland. 11. Har-ry, A. it- II, D. I. Bell and W. .1. Davis. "God So Loved the World ' was sung in a most effective manner by the following double quartette; so-prano. Mrs. Bebmke and Miss Brooke, Altos. Miss Mathlas, Miss Orner and Miss Hampton; tenors, Messrs A. Bell and E. G. F. Davis and basses Messrs. E. I. Bell and tl. W. Powner. The entire work of the choir cannot be too highly commended. The chottis was full, round and well balanced, the attacks were splendid, and the choir are to be complimented as last night's results are proof of good, hard work on the part of each individual. "Stainer's Crucifixion" is rapidly be-coming and Is now in fact recognized as a part of our church services, dur-ing the season of Lent, where there is a choir capable of singing it. It is not a performance, or even a sacred concert; It is a devotional ser-vice, of the Passion of our lord, and should be entered into by the whole congregation. The hymns distributed through the cantata are for congrega-tional singing and it is here suggested this be remembered for such another occasion. Last night's congregation were a little slow in responding to this idea, which was of course, due to a misun-derstanding as the program stated that all were earnestly invited to join in singing the hymns. It Is hoped that Calvary ClWreh wHl give us the pleasure of this musical treat every year. PHIPPS CAUGHT HIS MAX BURLEY POLANDER, WHO AS-SAULTED P. R. R. OFFICER CAP-TURED AFTER RESI8TING FIVE OFFICERS. Officers l'lii|ips and O'Donnell went to Hani ho station on the P. R. R. Trenton Cut-Oil railroad, yesterday morning and arrested the man who as-saulted Officer Phlppt about ten days ago. lie and his Wile put up a stren-uous fight, as when the officers at-tempted to get in the house, they found the door barred. They forced this. The woman and man locked them-selves in anotner room and the ofl were cninp. lied to force this door. They found the man concealed uuder the bed with a revolver in his posses-sion, and quickly disarmed him and look him to Squire Lenhardt's office, in Norristown, where lie was given a hearing and committed to jail without ball for the next term of Court. Drama at Fri nds' School Several hundred well-known subur-banites attended a reception, music-al ami dramatic entertainment by stu-dents of the fashionable Abingtons Friends School Thursday evening in the auditorium of the Academy at Jen-klntown. The Interesting feature was dramatic part of the evening's pro-gram. In whoch the students present-ed the farce, "A Perplexing Situation," in pleasing style. BECHTEL STILL IS MISSING Wherabouts of Former Pottstown Politician a Mystery. A WANDERING TRAMP In the Borough Hall this morning a hearing was given to a man who seem ed to have everything on his person but money. Last night he asked for lodging and was given it. On being searched a kit of razor tools was found, nicely wrapped up. In his pockets were sewing cotton, buttm- • is, needles, stones, knives, nails and nil colors of sewing cotton. ■• He claimed to be an Irishman, and when the question was asked by tho Burgess "What State do you come from?" he replied; "I guess from the State of Misery." Characters like these are seldom found, as his intellect should find him a position. With his mail accumulating at the post office, Harry MeC. Bechtel, ot Pottstown, former deputy factory in-spector, remains among the missing. David Bechtel, his brother, said that he did not know where he was and had not heard anything from him since he disappeared with his family more than two months ago. Old political associates are equally in the dark as to where he is, and no motive can be assigned for his action. New Prrson Inspector Samuel Roberts, of Norristown, was appointed by the Court as inspector of the Montgomery county prison to take the place of Dr. H. M. Corson. BIG CLOTHING DISPLAY Mitchell Estate Show Latest Styles at Annual Spring Opening. Pollock Was Not Murdered. Valvular disease of the heart, Coron-er King says, caused the death of John Pollock, a farm laborer, employ-ed at the country home of Thomas H. Miles, a retired Philadelphia business man, at Gwynedd. Pollock was found dead in a tenant house. The story spread that the man had been murder-ed. LITTLE'S OPERA HOUSE The attractive Beverly Sisters, now appearing at Little's Opera House are giving an unusually clever act. Their singing nnd dialogue is good and bright and will make them favorites here. Lew Harris, a Hebrew comedian, is making good and every time he opens his mouth, the crowd laughs. His monologue is rich and his antics keep the audience in good humor all the time he is on the stage. The whole show is a good one and a better place to spend an evening is not to be found in town. Of the multitude of people who are v lew lng the display of spring and summer goods for men and boys In the windows ot the store of David Mitchell Estate, 18 and 20 East Main street, not one but has expressed ad-miration for the display of wearing ap-parel this firm are showing at this, their annual ppring opening.

School closing will begin in the sev-en- month schools the early part of next month. During the course of a conversation with Superintendent l.andis a Herald representative inquired whether he had much difficulty In reaching the schools of the outlying townships on account of bad roads, to which ques-tion Mr. l.andis replied: "Difficulty, well I should say I have difficulty in reaching some ot the schools. And the strange part of it is that the greatest trouble Is In town ships where there Is plenty of native stone to mtfko food roads." Asked In which townships were the worst roads, Mr. Landis mentioned Limerick. Skippack, Hatfleld, Fran-conia, Douglass and Frederick. "The worst roads are In Douglass," added the professor. "Well, would It not be a good Idea to teach good roads in the schools of these townships?" asked the newspa-perman. "Yes, I believe it would. I am doing all I can along that line but progress is slow." Mr. Landis went on to say that the people of these districts are sort of "good enough for father is good enough for me" people, so that inno-vations are looked upon with suspic-ion. If considered at all. The Inconveniences, if not actual drawbacks, which somo teachers and directors endure is illustrated in a school not many miles distant from Norristown. The school house is built beside a stone crusher—or more correctly, perhaps, the stone crusher is built beside the school house, for the schoolhouse was first on the ground. The rattle of the ma-chinery makes it possible for the pu-pils to whisper without being heard by the teacher; In fact, it Is neces-sar yto pitch the voice at its highest to be heard in recitation. Yet the school keeps on, the dust fairly show-ering into the schoolroom, so that it is possible to work problems on the blackboard without the use of chalk, only the finger. And yet the direc-tors, like the teacher and the pupils are used to It, and having the machin-ery stopped or the school removed Is the thought fartherest from their minds. This Is' on a par with that district which pays a big man $45 a month to teach in a school where the enrollment is eight and the average attendance Is four. The directors would not think of reducing expenses by closing the school and transporting the pupils to another school for about $15 a month. ABOUT CONSHOHOCK EX THINGS WHICH WILL INTEREST OUR PEOPLE. A beautiful collection of Baster Eggs at Kehoe's, Hector street, oppo. School. QUAKER CITY CHANGES DATE Owing to a conflict in dates with the Norristown Automobile Club's en-durance run the Quaker City Contest Committee has changed the date of its auto run to Plttsburg and return to May 11. It was previously arrang-ed to hold the run on the 19th, but this was the same date as the Nor-ristown trip to Hagerstown and, as the latter club had already received the sanction of the A. A. A. for the event, the date was shifted. Women have always been a potent Influence In the saving of money. A man of limited means relies . wholly on the efforts of his WJfi tor saving something out of his v. Hj salary. Probably in no other saving; Insti-tution is this tact well demons as in the savings and loan UKM Women use their method ol tavh tor the purpose of putting aside som« hlng for the proverbial rainy day. There has been much dltcutsl B at to the ability of women to enti r into competition with men, but no i tier how men may differ as to theii iliil-ity in other fields, it must be con ded that where women have taken part in the management of the bulldin and loan associations they have always been successfully and honestly con-ducted. , The membership of the Teachers' Building and loan Association and the Teachers' Co-operative Building and loan Association, both of New York City, is largely made up of teach, is in the New York City Public Schools, and the women directors take an ac-tive part in the deliberations of the board. Frequently the women direc-tors are sent to appraise property, and their reports often give valuabu in formation that a man would pa?i by. Mrs. Minnie E. Phillips Is the sec-retary of the Salamanca Building and loan Association of Salamanca, N. Y., and successfully manages the affairs of that corporation, with assets of nearly $500,000. The Niagara Permanent 6uvings and loan Association is another insti-tution most successfully managed by a woman. Miss Ann E. Rae. This In-stitution has assets of $900,000. col-lects and disburses over $500,000 year-ly, and is recognized in the community in which it operates as an institution of which every citizen can be proud. Mrs. C. W. Bowers is the secretary of the Mount Morris Co-operative Building and Loan Association, an in stltution that has been doing business in "Harlem for over twenty years. Wheye women take an Interest in a building and loan association it uni-versally follows that the association is continually adding to its m< nlior-ship and attracting to Itself a class of people that cannot be reach-d in any other way. It would be a good thing If the Con-shohockejj building and loan asrocia-tlons could Induce the women lo be-come directors. A number of the shareholders are women, and If one or more were on the board of dives-ton of each of the associations ol our vicinity, the number of women share-holders could be Increased. • • ■ Nicholas Gilbert, besides being a good operator In the Electrical Bu-reau at the City Hall, Is a pedestrian who loves to get next to nature by indulging weekly in long walks in one of the suburban sections. One oj his favorite trips Is from Chestnut Hill to Plymouth Meeting and back to Chest-nut Hill. Mr. Gilbert, who Is strenu-ous- looking young man, was walking over the pike Tuesday when he was accosted by an old friend who asked: "What are you doing here?" "Why," said the employee 61 the Department of Public Safety, "1 come out here winter and summer a; I in-dulge In eight miles of a walk while other city folk sit at home and talk of the value of fresh air as a health builder. Vou kuow Roosevelt walked ten miles in the rain. And if he walk ed that much in such weather I guess I can do the same in good weather. Besides, I find that my health It bet-ter. And when I return to the office my work does not seem so bin den-tome, for the reason my brain is clearer." Before the friend could say another word the operator was strid-ing down the pike from Barren Hill In the direction of Wlssalilekon Creek. •STAiNER'S CRUCIFIXION Everything for Easter—Good and re liable, at Bent's.

Every seat in the church was taken, it being n« c-ettary to place chairs in the aisles to accommodate people, many of whom were troin Norristown and other near-by towns. The singing of Messrs. Pagdin and Sullivan was artistic, and both Im-parted thi as also the duet, with much feeling and taste, both be-ing in good voice. During > 11 offer-tory .Miss Fronefield sane "Gonnod'a" Repentance. Her voice was clear and tweet and she sang with a great deal of sympathy, Tite lninoi solos were all well sunn bj Mettrt. J. B. Holland. 11. Har-ry, A. it- II, D. I. Bell and W. .1. Davis. "God So Loved the World ' was sung in a most effective manner by the following double quartette; so-prano. Mrs. Bebmke and Miss Brooke, Altos. Miss Mathlas, Miss Orner and Miss Hampton; tenors, Messrs A. Bell and E. G. F. Davis and basses Messrs. E. I. Bell and tl. W. Powner. The entire work of the choir cannot be too highly commended. The chottis was full, round and well balanced, the attacks were splendid, and the choir are to be complimented as last night's results are proof of good, hard work on the part of each individual. "Stainer's Crucifixion" is rapidly be-coming and Is now in fact recognized as a part of our church services, dur-ing the season of Lent, where there is a choir capable of singing it. It is not a performance, or even a sacred concert; It is a devotional ser-vice, of the Passion of our lord, and should be entered into by the whole congregation. The hymns distributed through the cantata are for congrega-tional singing and it is here suggested this be remembered for such another occasion. Last night's congregation were a little slow in responding to this idea, which was of course, due to a misun-derstanding as the program stated that all were earnestly invited to join in singing the hymns. It Is hoped that Calvary ClWreh wHl give us the pleasure of this musical treat every year. PHIPPS CAUGHT HIS MAX BURLEY POLANDER, WHO AS-SAULTED P. R. R. OFFICER CAP-TURED AFTER RESI8TING FIVE OFFICERS. Officers l'lii|ips and O'Donnell went to Hani ho station on the P. R. R. Trenton Cut-Oil railroad, yesterday morning and arrested the man who as-saulted Officer Phlppt about ten days ago. lie and his Wile put up a stren-uous fight, as when the officers at-tempted to get in the house, they found the door barred.

Drama at Fri nds' School Several hundred well-known subur-banites attended a reception, music-al ami dramatic entertainment by stu-dents of the fashionable Abingtons Friends School Thursday evening in the auditorium of the Academy at Jen-klntown. The Interesting feature was dramatic part of the evening's pro-gram. In whoch the students present-ed the farce, "A Perplexing Situation," in pleasing style. BECHTEL STILL IS MISSING Wherabouts of Former Pottstown Politician a Mystery. A WANDERING TRAMP In the Borough Hall this morning a hearing was given to a man who seem ed to have everything on his person but money. Last night he asked for lodging and was given it. On being searched a kit of razor tools was found, nicely wrapped up. In his pockets were sewing cotton, buttm- • is, needles, stones, knives, nails and nil colors of sewing cotton. ■• He claimed to be an Irishman, and when the question was asked by tho Burgess "What State do you come from?" he replied; "I guess from the State of Misery." Characters like these are seldom found, as his intellect should find him a position. With his mail accumulating at the post office, Harry MeC. Bechtel, ot Pottstown, former deputy factory in-spector, remains among the missing. David Bechtel, his brother, said that he did not know where he was and had not heard anything from him since he disappeared with his family more than two months ago. Old political associates are equally in the dark as to where he is, and no motive can be assigned for his action. New Prrson Inspector Samuel Roberts, of Norristown, was appointed by the Court as inspector of the Montgomery county prison to take the place of Dr. H. M. Corson. BIG CLOTHING DISPLAY Mitchell Estate Show Latest Styles at Annual Spring Opening. Pollock Was Not Murdered.
