J., Jan. 12—The people .of the parish of Staid Rose- ville Methodist Church were as- tounded today at the news that their most ardent church worker had been arrested as a confidence woman with a record of a half-century of swindling and prison life. Mrs. Amelia Carr, gentle-voiced, bespectacled wife of the chairman of the church trustees, was charged with defrauding another church woman of $4,700. Essex County Prosecutor William A. Wachenfeld said & check of fingerprints by the F. B. I unveiled a career of crime starting in 1891 during which Mrs. Carr, now 66 had swindled numerous victims of more than $1,000,000.

I know nothing about any unfortunate affairs of her past,” he said. “I know only goodness about her. She was noble, good and loyal. I can'{ help but-feel this is all a terrible mistake.” - The church pastor, the Rev. Edson R. Leach, could only say: “It simply amazes me, because for the past five years I have watched her doing charitable work and acting the role of a good churchwoman.” The police likewise were aghast when the charges were first brought last month, for no one stood higher in the church community than did Mrs. Carr. But when they let her sit with two police matrons who acted the role of prisoners they were more sur- prised because, Prosecutor Wachen- feld related, she quickly spotted the Panama Straw (beige) C Thanks Glorious uban Pq (golg )p aya two for oMicers and burst forth with the worcs, strange indeed from a churchwanan: “Do you. think I'd be dumb enough to blow nry top off to them?” 3ail Set at $50,000.

Mr. Sleeper is a member of the Board of Trade and a number of other business and professional organiza- tions, and has been affiliated with the Tuberculosis Association and the Community Chest in important Pposts. In accepting the appointment in thad Boys’ Club drive, Mr. Sleeper “As individuals and as a com- munity, our lives are distorted by the necessities of the war effort. Nevertheless, we must stick close to those things in the city which are equally essential in time of war and in time of peace. So it is that the ‘work of the Police Boys' Club must be carried on and if possible even extended during these difficult times. “The boys who were under- privileged before the war are just as underprivileged now. They re- the guiding hand and the; elpful effort of these clubs to guard em against the shocks of war and to prepare them to do their full duty ‘when the obligations of citizenship fall upon their shoulders. I have no doubt that Washingtonians in the coming campaign will support the club and its very necessary work.” f ———— Conventions Canceled OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan 12 (».— ‘The State League of Young Demo- crats yesterday canceled its annual conventions for the duration of the War.

I do not subscribe to or support, directly or indirectly, any agitation which would promote antagonism my Jewish fel- low-citizens. I consider that the hate-mongering prevalent for some time in this country against the Jews, is of distinct disservice to our country, and to the peace and wel- fare of humanity. “At the time of the retraction by me of certain publications concern- ing the Jewish people, in nce of which I ceased the publication of the Dearborn Independent. I de- stroyed coples of literature prepared by certain persons connected with its publication. Since that time, I have given no permission or sanction to any one {0 use my name as sponsor- ing any such publication, or being the accredited author thereof.” 8ees U. 8. Unity in Peril. “I am convinced that there is no greater dereliction among the Jews than there is among any other class of citizens. I am convinced, further, that agitation for the creation of hate against the Jew or any other racial or religious group, has been | utilized to divide our American com- munity and to weaken our national unity.” The letter added that it was Mr. Ford’s “sincere hope that now in this country and throughout the world, when this war is finished and peace once more established, hatred of the Jews, commonly known as anti-Sem- itism, and hatred against any other | racial or religious group, shall cease for all time.” Strike in Britain Begun By 2,000 Coal Miners : By the Associated Press. | LONDON, Jan. 12.—More than 2,000 miners in one of the most im- portant mines of the Kent coal flelds went on strike yesterday over & wage dispute, and some sources expressed fear the walkout might force the others into idleness.
