PASTOR SAVES CHURCH
Heads Congregation's Bucket Bri
gade Fire Probably Incendiary.
Members of the congregation, headed by
their pastor, formed a bucket brlgado
today and saved the Wiley M. B. Church
In Camden from destruction by flam.1.
The statement of the Rev. Daniel John
ion, the pastor, to tho police Indicates
the blaze was of Incendiary origin.
The church Is at Third and Becketts
itreets. It Is a frame structure. Mr,
Johnson said that shortly after daybreak
he was aroused hy a passerby, wh.i
ihouted that smoko was Issuing from tho
steps of the building. j
Calling a number of his congregation I
from their homes, Rev. Mr. Johnson pro-
cured buckets of water and they sue- I
cceded In extinguishing tho blaze before
it reached the main structure. I
"It. Is a mystery to me why any one j
shoflld do Buch a thing," said the pastor 1
"Papers had been piled up under The
step and lighted, showing that the at- I
tempt to fire thcrbulldlnp must have been j
deliberate. I have no personal eneml's
that I am aware of and am equally sure
the church Itself hns made none."

body will meet In New York today to
make plans for extending the commerce
of this country Into South America. Tho
chairman of the Foreign Trade Council
Is James A Knrrell. presldt-nt of tho
United States Steel Corporation.
Mr. Johnson declared yesterday that
the new committee will represent the
Government In .o-operntlng with the
National Trodo Council. The chairman of
the committee had not beerf-plckcd. he
mid, nor did he know when It would
meet to organize.
Coincident with the news of the fore
going plans quite a stir was created
mons Eastern steel men by Inquiries foi
steel for export and the realization that
the Pacific coast Is buying the domestic
production. Heretofore structural ma
terial for Ran Francisco wae brought
across the Pacific, but the war has halted
this and the supply is now being taken
from United States mills.
So far the foreign Inquiries have not
developed into anything sufficiently tan
gible to be called a demand, but never
theless they are looked upon by steel men
as highly encouraging. A decrease Is
shown In sales for September so far as
compared to the last half of August, but
It is believed there will be a gain In the
remainder of the month that will put the
output ahead of AuKUtt.
Interest also has been awakened in
plK Iron by the foreign inquiries, but it
Is believed there will he no activity In
this line untl sfel shows Improvement
A furnace man nave It as his opinion that
either prospects of peace or of a long
war would stimulate the steel trade 1
Of all the letters only four remain. Tho
Tlmmons glrlb tore them up as soon as
thev arrived anil said nothlnir about thm.
Finally, Irritated, It 1h believed, by the
failure to mouse the girls to showing
thry had received the letters, tho mysteri
ous writer addressed Mr. Tlmmons. The
first note reached him In December nnd
the second In January. Both warned him
that his daughters should be watched and
contained vicious nci.usatlons.
For somo time Tlmmons tried unsuc
cessfully to find who was writing the
letters, nnd then offered the reward of
SCO. That failed, nnd he turned to the
postal Inspectors.
At flmt It wn believed that the letters
were Inspired by Jealousy, and on that
assumption several Sharon Hill young
womn were flosely watched. When sus
plc on fell on Mls Stahl, however, that
theory was discarded.
ThT has never been "a man in the
case." according to the Investigators. A
youth who was boarding with the Stohls
was sent nwny the day after McVlcar
questlonod their daughter. In order that
suspicion could not be attached to her
thiough h's presence. It Is said he called
twice at the Tlmmons home. "I am old
enough to be his mother, anyway," Miss
Stahl declared when his name was
hrmichi into the questioning.
Tho case Is a mystery to Mr. Tlm
mons. the father of the girls, who re
ceived the letters
OFFERED REWARD FOR AUTHORS,
Mr. Tlmmons offered a reward of I'M
when he first learned the letters were
coming Into his house, but efforts of
private detectives to find who was writ
ing them were futile.
In May he appealed to the postal In
spectors, and Mathew McVlcar set out
to learn the Identity of the writer.
"It was a process of elimination that
led us to suspect Miss Shaw," said Mc
Vlcar today. A list of persons who might
have wiltten the letters was prepared,
but It was cut down until only Miss
Stahl remained. This was last May.
The evidence on which Miss Stahl was
hold yesterday was secured by McVlcar
011 June 1. That day he went to see
Miss Stahl at her home. Miss Stahl Is
a woman of XI. She and her mother and
a younger brotner have lived In a small
double house at Sharon Hill for ten
years. The accused woman Is a dress
maker, often employed by wealthy Phlla
delphlans and residents of the suburbs.
McVlcar found Miss Stahl at home and
told her she was suspected of having
written the letters to the Tlmmons girls.
Sh denied It.
"Wh, Just to prove that those letters
wero not mlno I'll wtlte you a specimen,"
she told McVlcar. He had her copy two
of the notes sent to Miss Helen Tlmmons.
Stlss Stnhl was very nervous while Mc
Vlcar questioned her, he says, and denied
repeatedly that fide had had any hand In
the poison pen letters.
