Broadway

Broadway in Camden… a legendary street, once the “Mall of South Jersey.” Running south west of 6th Street past Ferry Avenue and then all the way to Gloucester City, and eventually on to Woodbury, Broadway was extended north from its beginning at Market Street through to the Delaware River (Ben Franklin) Bridge toll plaza in the 1920s.

When Camden began its period of industrial growth and expansion after the Civil War, the intersections of Broadway and Federal Street, Broadway and Kaighn Avenue, and Broadway and Ferry Avenue became anchor locations in the civic and commercial life of Camden and the surrounding areas. Homes and businesses soon filled in the “empty spaces” between these intersections. During the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th Century, Camden-based contractor John J. Welsh was known in the city as “the man who built Broadway,” as his firm was involved with a great many projects along the thoroughfare. Brothers George M. Holl and Lewis F. Holl also completed many projects during these years.

James H. Reeve, who had worked for Welsh as a foreman, remodeled many of the homes, including those on the Holl Block, between Stevens and Mickle Streets, for business purposes. Reeve and his sons also built three theatres on Broadway, the Lyric, the Towers, and the Princess.

When Camden began its economic decline in the 1950s, Broadway suffered right along with it. Broadway became in many ways the symbol of Camden’s economic fall. Although there have been some new buildings erected in recent years, most significantly the Walter Rand Transportation Center between Broadway and Mickle Streets, far too much of Broadway in June of 2004 consists of vacant lots and boarded up buildings.

In July 2020, amid nationwide George Floyd protests, the Camden City Council indicated it planned to rename a several-block stretch of Broadway near Cooper University Hospital “Black Lives Matter Blvd.” What was actually installed that October was a large painted street mural spelling out the city’s name — not a legal renaming — and the paint reportedly faded within about a week; no ordinance ever made the name official. It does not appear in current OpenStreetMap data for Broadway, though it has been seen labeling part of the street on some consumer map products.

'IRELAND NIGHT' SET BY 6TH WARD CLUB G.O.P. Unit to Honor Patrolman John S. McTaggart Tuesday Night The third annual "Night in Ireland" which is given each year in honor of Patrolman John S. McTaggart by the Sixth Ward Republican Association, will be held March 16 in the Eagle's Hall, 415 Broadway. More than 3000 tickets have been sold. A number of Camden city officials and civic leaders are expected to attend. Among the guests will be Commissioner Mary W. Kobus, Surrogate Frank B. Hanna, Chief of Police Arthur Colsey and several state executives. The committee arranging the details is headed by Sergeant Edward Carroll, chairman, Sergeant John Garrity, Mrs. Katherine Cunningham and Deputy City Clerk William D. Sayrs. McTaggart has been in the city employ for 27 years. He was appointed to the fire department in 1910 and a few years later was transferred to the police department. He was the youngest member of the fire department in the few years he was attached to that bureau. He is widely-known in the Sixth Ward for his charitable work among the poor and is one of the "old school" policeman who believes it is better to explain the law to a trivial offender than arrest him. He is rarely seen in the police court and has often told his friends he prefers to take an intoxicated man home than send him to jail. He has lived in Camden for 48 years, most of the time in the ward in which he now resides. His parents are natives of Ireland. A number of acts of vaudeville have been engaged as well as two two [sic] orchestras which will furnish music for dancing.

Fire Destroys Toy Shop, 2 South Camden Homes Blaze Rages 4 Hours By JAMES RIGGIO Courier-Post Staff RL [illegible] BROA —Courier-Post Photo by James Stewart GENERAL ALARM FIRE sweeps out of control in the 600 block of S. Broadway. Six firemen were injured battling wind-whipped flames which engulfed a warehouse and threatened entire block. A general-alarm fire swept through a Camden warehouse and showroom for four hours last night and destroyed two nearby residences before almost 100 firemen brought it under control. The blaze destroyed the L-shaped building at 613 Broadway which housed Anthony Corradetti Sales Enterprises, distributors of toys, novelties and household goods. No estimate of the loss was available. A second-story apartment atop the firm also was destroyed, and an adjoining house at 527 Line Street was damaged badly by the flames. Left Homeless Mrs. Rose Young, 26, who lived in the apartment at 529 Line Street with her three small children, escaped the blaze which left them homeless and took shelter with nearby friends. Louis Iatarola, 57, who lived in the house at 527 Line Street with his two sisters, Carolyn and Lena, said his family would take refuge with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. John Luciani were ordered by firemen to evacuate their home at 525 Line Street because of the danger from the heavy smoke. The Luciani house, separated from the burning building by a narrow alley, was not touched by the flames. Spotted by Cops The first call was sounded at 4:42 p.m. when Ptl. Richard Hailey and Thomas Penn spotted smoke coming from the building. Hailey, a former employe of the Corradetti firm, Continued on Page 3—Col. 3 Related Fire Stories, Photo on Page 17 Fire Wrecks Toy Shop, Two City Homes (Continued From Page One) radioed the alarm from the patrol wagon then he and Penn rushed inside to warn the occupants of the building. Clar Puke, the store manager, said he noticed the smoke rising from the basement through a floor hatch. He said he was almost overcome by the thick smoke when he entered the basement, but managed to warn six other employes who ran from the building. The first call brought two engine companies and a ladder company and the heavy duty rescue squad under Battalion Chief Anthony Saponare. Second Alarm The second call, sounded several minutes later, was responded to by two additional engine companies and another ladder company under Battalion Chief Theodore Primas, according to Fire Chief Edward V. Michalak, who also had arrived on the scene. By 6:32 p.m., all the city's nine engine companies and three ladder companies were thrown into action against the blaze, according to Michalak. He said about 100 firemen including 35 off-duty members were on hand to fight the flames, which sent billows of black smoke into the sky above Broadway. Michalak also issued a mutual assistance call which brought fire fighting equipment from other nearby communities to man Camden's firehouse while the city's men and equipment were tied up. 4 Firemen Treated Four city firemen were taken to Cooper Hospital where they were treated and released for injuries and smoke inhalation. All reported back to the fire and continued work in fighting the blaze. Michalak said firemen had extreme difficulty in reaching the blaze, which started in the basement, because of ceiling-high piles of merchandise which blocked passage and prevented good ventilation. He said there will be an investigation into the manner in which the materials were stored in the building. Goods Feed Fire Large quantities of paper goods, plastic and rubber products, chemical charcoal fire starters and other highly flammable substances fed the fire and gave off the heavy smoke and poisonous fumes, according to Michalak. Exploding aerosol cans sounded like Fourth of July fireworks as firemen poured thousands of gallons of water onto the flames. Hoses sprayed the fire from Broadway, Line Street on the side, and Williams Street in the rear of the building. Break Through Roof As firemen battled the blaze, flames broke through the roof of the structure at several points, lighting up the early evening sky. Flood light units from the Camden Electrical Bureau and the Gloucester City Rescue Squad aided firemen as darkness fell. Angelo Errochetti, director of public works, was at the scene and said he ordered the city's water system opened full force to maintain a 48-pound pressure in the hydrants which fed the fire hoses. Michalak declared the fire under control at 8:40 p.m., but said several companies would remain at the scene throughout the night to prevent a further flareup. —Courier-Post Photo by James Stewart SEA OF SMOKE engulfs fireman manning hoseline high above general alarm blaze in S.

'POLACK JOE' ENTERS PLEA OF NOT GUILTY Arraigned in Court as Echo of Fatal Shooting in G.O.P. Club Joseph "Polack Joe" Devon, sometimes political worker, who shot and killed Joseph Cimini, of Philadelphia, in the Sixth Ward Republican Club three months ago, today entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of manslaughter in connection with the slaying. Devon, who was arrested for the murder after the shooting, was indicted for manslaughter by the Camden county grand jury and released under $2,500 bail by Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Varbalow a week before the grand jury made its report. The accused man entered his plea in person today before Judge Samuel M. Shay. He was represented by William King, an associate of Walter Keown in the latter's law office. Assistant Prosecutor C. Lawrence Gregorio appeared for the state and stated afterward that an early trial was expected. Cimini was shot down on the night of January 21 after a quarrel which is supposed to have taken place during a crap game in the clubrooms at 908 Broadway. The shooting is declared to have occurred after Cimini had threatened to kill Charles "Chick" Hunt, a former pugilist.

HAINES, Oysters This gentleman established himself in business here about six years ago, and in a neatly fitted up Dining Room, 20x50 feet in dimensions, and with a capacity of seating about sixty persons. In the season Mr. Haines makes a specialty of his Oysters, which he serves to a number of families, as well as to the trade which he has coming to the store to get their lunches. In the summer season he has one of the largest Ice Cream businesses in the city, selling as much as a thousand quarts a week when the weather is favorable. This is sold not only to the consumer but at wholesale as well as retail. All this is manufactured on the premises on the rear. All kinds of Confectionery are also kept in constant stock. Mr. Haines gives employment to eight assistants. He is a native of the State of New Jersey and is prominently connected with the Masons and Red Men.

View transcription
CLUB ENDORSEMENT DENIED IN 8TH WARD Action Rescinded Due to Choice of Running Mates, Candidate Says Denial was made yesterday by three Eighth ward candidates, Walter Sekula, William Tansky, Jr., and Mrs. Theresa Maloney Die Lello, that their opponents have the endorsement of two political clubs. Sekula is candidate for re-election as freeholder; Tansky is a candidate for Republican county committeeman, and Mrs. Di Lello is running with them for county committeewoman. All three are "Regular Organization Republican" candidates, and announce their endorsement by the Baird-Baker faction. Opposing them are Mrs. Mamie F. Piraine, for committeewoman; Dr. Oris W. Saunders, for freeholder, and Edmund A. Welsh, for committeeman. Their designation is "Regular Republican." The Regular Organization Republican candidates deny their rivals have the support of the Eighth Ward Republican Club, 1718 Broadway, and the William Jones Republican Club, 707 Ferry avenue. "Mrs. Piraine," said Tansky, "was endorsed by the Eighth Ward Republican Club with the understanding she would run with two other candidates. After secret meetings, she picked up two candidates who were not members of the club, Walsh and Dr. Saunders. "As a result, the club held a special meeting and rescinded its motion endorsing Mrs. Piraine." "Dr. Saunders cannot rightfully claim affiliation as a Regular Republican by virtue of his candidacy in 1927 on a Non-Partisan ticket," Tansky said. Tansky has served in the United States Army and Navy with three overseas enlistments. He has resided 24 years in the Eighth ward, is married and has two children. He is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post No. 980. Sekula has been in the trucking business for 15 years at 1635 South Sixth street, while Mrs. Di Lello conducts a confectionery store at Kossuth street and Ferry avenue. She was born and reared in the Eighth ward.

Feitz First Cop Slain Here; 6 Others Survived Wounds Three Shot, 2 Stabbed and Another Beaten with Pipe But All Recovered, Police Records Show— First Case 30 Years Old The murder of Detective William Feitz by bandits early Sunday marked the first slaying of a policeman in the history of the Camden department. Three other members of the department have been shot in battles with bandits, two stabbed and a sixth beaten with an iron pipe, but all survived. More than 30 years ago Patrolman George Miller was stabbed in the abdomen during a Third Ward election fight in which a Philadelphia man was slain. The late Capt. William F. Schregler, head of the detective bureau for years, was wounded in a duel with safe crackers at Broadway and Carman street about 28 years ago. He was a patrolman at the time and was rewarded with promotion to head of the detective bureau when he recovered. Another casualty was Patrolman Thomas Brothers. He went into a house to capture a burglar. The man was standing in a dark spot behind a door and as the patrolman passed he struck him down with an iron pipe. Brothers suffered a fractured skull and was in the hospital for several weeks. The suspect was never captured. Years later Brothers was a special officer at the Lyric Theatre. Patrolman Robert Ward was shot June 16, 1925, at Sixth and Jackson streets as he stepped up to an automobile to question its occupants. One of these suspects was captured. Ward recovered after being in the hospital for weeks. Policeman Maurice Minch was shot and severely wounded in an attempt to arrest a man responsible for a race riot. Minch was wounded in a bicycle store and the proprietor was killed about seven years ago. Detective Robert Ashenfelter was wounded on August 24, 1931, and a burglar suspect slain in a gun fight at Thirty-second street and Pierce avenue. Police surprised three suspects robbing a chain grocery store. Going inside of the store Ashenfelter was felled with a bullet in the dark, Police opened fire with a machine gun and one man was slain. Patrolman John Taylor was stabbed by a man he attempted to arrest on Taylor avenue on May 18, 1930. He wounded the man after the stabbing. Two months later he and his brother, Robert, were beaten up by a gang at Eleventh and Cooper streets when he tried to break up rowdyism with fireworks.

MRS. HEISLER BURIED AT SIMPLE RITES The body of Emma Heisler was laid to rest yesterday afternoon. Just two days after the body of Detective William Feitz was borne to its last resting place, that of Emma Heisler, whose suicide came as a tragic sequel to the death of Feitz, followed to its final destination in the New Camden cemetery. At 2 p. m. the procession left the funeral establishment of Frank J. Leonard at Broadway and Lansdowne avenue and wended its mournful way to the cemetery. For hours before, friends, relatives and the morbidly curious had entered to take a last look at the dead woman. Shortly before the hour set for the funeral all but immediate friends and relatives were requested to leave. Most who remained were women—in direct contrast to the uniformed legion which had paid its last respects to the murdered policeman on Saturday. The funeral procession itself consisted of about a dozen automobiles containing the surviving members of the dead woman's family and her immediate friends.

BAIL IS DENIED ROXIE ALLEN IN ROBBERY OF 15 IN CRAPS GAME Three Pals of Camden Boxer Also Jailed at Shore for Grand Jury QUARTET IDENTIFIED BY POOLROOM OWNER Limp Betrays Fighter at Landisville—Says He Did Not Aid Holdup Identified as four of the five bandits who held up and robbed 15 men at a craps game in a Landisville poolroom yesterday, Roxie Allen, well-known South Jersey boxer, and three other South Camden youths are under arrest today. The suspects, charged with obtaining money and watches worth $175, are Rocco Auletto, Allen's real name, 21, of 318 Spruce street; Carmen Passarella, 26, of 1227 Broadway; Salvatore Passalacqua, 20, of 339 Clinton street, and Rocco De Corda, 23, of 221 Spruce street. Two of the suspects, Passarella and Passalacqua, have made a full confession, according to Captain William J. Carter, Troop "A" commander, of the Hammonton State Police barracks. Allen and De Corda have denied implication in the holdup. The welterweight pugilist admitted that he drove the holdup car but remained behind the wheel during the robbing, unaware of the intentions of his companions. A fifth man, said to be colored, is being sought in Camden by the State Police and Camden detectives. All four captives, arrested in this city and positively identified by the proprietor of the robbed place as well as by some of the victims, were held without bail pending action by the Atlantic county grand jury on charges of weapons. They were arraigned before Justice of the Peace Peter Capizola, of Buena. Prior to that, they were "booked" at the Atlantic county jail in Mays Landing, and then photographed and fingerprinted at the Malaga state police barracks. They are now in the jail at Mays Landing. Allen's Limp Seen, Claim All four were recognized by the proprietor, Nicholas Yennitti, owner of "Poppy's Place," it is alleged. Yennitti said he knew the three white men who entered unmasked, and recognized Allen in the automobile after seeing him limp when he got out. Allen did not enter the place, nor could Yennitti see whether Allen had a gun. It was at 2.10 p. m. yesterday that four men, three carrying revolvers and the other a sawed-off shotgun, ran into (Continued on Page Two) the poolroom and commanded the patrons to put up their hands. The 15 men inside were lined against a wall and their pockets were looted. The money on the table was picked up by one of the bandits. The total cash stolen amounted to only $75, while the watches and rings taken from the victims were worth about $100. Captain Carter and other investigators heard reports that if the holdup had been staged 10 minutes later, a richer reward would have fallen into the hands of the bandits. The rumors were to the effect that the "banker" for the place arrived there from Atlantic City 10 minutes after the holdup, with two or three thousand dollars. Nicholas Dandrea and Yennitti recognized the three white men, and then saw Allen, they said, in the car outside. Allen and Passeralla had been in the place Saturday afternoon, the former losing about $15 at pool, according to Yennitti. The license numbers of the car were observed by several of the victims, and the affair was reported to the state police. Troopers George Probert and Howard Maliff of the Malaga barracks, and Wilfred Dube, state police plainclothesman, were assigned to the investigation. They immediately sped to Camden, where they obtained the aid of Detective Theodore Guthrie. Allen and Passarella were arrested last evening by the troopers and Guthrie. Passalacqua was arrested at his home last night by Sergeant Rox Saponare, of the Camden detective bureau. De Corda was arrested 4 a. m. today on suspicion and was later identified. Holdup Car Found The holdup car was found at Third and Pine streets today and was impounded by the Camden police for Atlantic county authorities. It bore the license plates C25899, but this license was issued, according to the state motor vehicle bureau at Trenton, to Harry Whaland, 1424 Mt. Ephraim avenue, Camden. An investigation proved that the tags had been stolen from Whaland's car yesterday. Moreover, Whaland had a car different in make than the one impounded. In his confession, Passarella declared that the seized car was his and that it was used in the holdup. The plates, he is said to have confessed, were stolen from Whaland. However, a checkup at the Trenton bureau revealed that the license number C22859, issued for the car claimed by Passarella, had been issued to a Frank Passarella, of 327 Washington street, Camden. Passarella, the man under arrest, is a nephew of Frank Passarella, also known as Passeralli, 31, of 212 Catherine street, Philadelphia, one of the two Atco National Bank bandits who were convicted here last month and received heavy jail sentences. Louis Bottina, 20, of 1440 South Fourth street, was also arrested last night on suspicion, but was released when he proved an alibi and when the victims could not identify him. The limp which betrayed Allen was the result of a bullet wound inflicted on him August 2 by Charles Areni, 699 Central avenue, who later was convicted and sent to state's prison.

Roxie Allen Held As One of Gang in Dice Game Holdup Pugilist and Pal Identified As 2 of 4 Bandits in Landisville Robbery Bandit Suspect PLAYERS LINED UP, RELIEVED OF $200 Robbers Flee in Stolen Car With Crippled Man at Wheel Roxie Allen, Camden's famed welterweight boxer, and one of his pals were arrested last night and identified, according to police, as two of four men who held up a craps game early yesterday at Landisville. Loot is said to have totaled between $150 and $200. Allen, whose real name is Auletto, and Carmen Passarella, 26, of 1227 Broadway, were arrested by City Detective Theodore Guthrie and Wilfred Dube and George Probert, state police investigators. Nicholas Dandrea and Nicholas Yennitti, both of Landisville, identified Allen and Passarella at police headquarters. Police said Yennitti is the proprietor of the pool room in which the holdup was staged. It is known as "Poppy's Place." A dozen men were backed to the wall when the four bandits entered. One carried a sawed-off shotgun while the other three brandished revolvers. One of the bandits was crippled in both legs, according to the victims. They picked up the money laying on the table and then rifled the pockets of the players. As they fled the license number of their automobile was taken and turned over to Malaga state police. A check-up revealed the car had been stolen from the garage of Harry Whaland, real estate dealer, 1424 Mt. Ephraim avenue. The license tags had been stolen from a disabled automobile of A. Baer, 611 Kaighn avenue. The state police declare the crippled man was driving the car. Allen was recognized in the poolroom as the Camden boxer by the sportsmen gathered for the game, according to state police. Allen walks with a limp as a result of being shot August 2 at Third and Pine streets by Charles Areni, 699 Central avenue. Areni was found guilty in Criminal Court October 15. Allen and Passarella were taken to state police headquarters at Hammonton for further questioning. They will be turned over eventually to Cumberland county authorities. Dube said charges of robbery and carrying deadly weapons will be lodged against the accused. Allen gave his age as 21 and his address as 318 Spruce street. At one time he was rated as one of the best welterweights in the country. He and Passarella have been close friends for years. Two additional suspects were arrested by Camden police on information received from Hammonton state police. Louis Bottina, 20, of 1440 South Fourth street, was arrested by Patrolman Joseph Lack at Broadway and Kaighn avenue. Salvatore Passalacqua, 20, of 339 Clinton street, was arrested at his home by Detective Sergeant Rox Saponare. Both men were arrested on suspicion and are being detained until today when an attempt will be made to identify them as the second pair of the four bandits. When Newspapermen asked Guthrie what Allen said when he was arrested, Guthrie declared Allen had made no statement. A similar question at Hammonton state police headquarters brought forth a reply from Trooper Dube that "I am not making any statements right now, I am still working on the investigation. Don't bother me for a couple of hours." ROXIE ALLEN Camden welterweight contender who is accused of being one of four "hoodlums" who staged a holdup early yesterday on a craps game in a Landisville pool room. Allen, according to police, was identified last night by the proprietor of the place and one of the players as the "cripple" who drove the bandit car.

6 MEN ARE NABBED AS NUMBER WRITERS Arrests Lead to Belief Shore Racketeers Are Working Here Arrest of six alleged number writers here yesterday has spread the belief that Atlantic City racketeers have established "branch offices" on downtown street corners. Four of the accused all of whom were caught by members of the traffic squad, will be given hearings this morning. The other two were sentenced to 60 days each in the Camden county jail, when unable to pay fines of $50 imposed by Police Judge Garfield Pancoast yesterday. All of the men were arrested while soliciting "business." 'Pick Up' Man Nabbed One of the six men arrested is believed to be the "pickup man" for the syndicate. He was in an automobile bearing Atlantic county tags and his pockets were filled with number slips and cash, according to the police. Henry Davis, 36, of 208 Walnut street, and Alonzo Singleton, 20, of 256 Chestnut street, were arrested by Sergeant Jeff Kay and Motorcycle Policeman Thomas Kauffman at Second and Kaighn avenue. One man was standing on the northwest corner and the other on the southwest corner, soliciting business, the police testified. Davis and Singleton pleaded guilty and went to jail for 60 days. LeRoy Keeler, 20, of 1617 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City, and David Watson, 29, of Second and Mt. Vernon streets, Camden, were arrested at Broadway and Mickle street by Motorcycle Policeman Charles Smith and William Moll. They were held for hearings this morning. Wesley Edgehill, 35, of 1623½ Arctic avenue, Atlantic City, alleged by the police to be the "pickup man" for the Atlantic City barons, was arrested by Smith and Moll at West and Mickle streets. Edgehill was driving an automobile bearing Atlantic county tags. He had "hundreds of numbers slips and plenty of cash" in his pockets when arrested, according to the police. He also will be given a hearing this morning. Wilbert William, 20, of 1010 Walnut street, was the sixth man arrested. He was caught selling numbers at Mt. Ephraim and Kaighn avenues, according to Kauffman and Kay. He will face Judge Pancoast today. No Drive Ordered Questioned regarding whether the traffic squad was making a drive against numbers game operators in Camden, Police Capt. Charles T. Humes, inspector of traffic, said no orders had been issued for a drive on operators. The motorcycle policemen were only acting in line of regular duty, he said. Major Charles V. H. Dickinson, deputy director of public safety, stated yesterday that the arrests were not part of a concerted drive against the number "barons." He said: "There is no particular drive under way. The first I knew of the matter was when I read of the arrests in the Courier-Post. I questioned one of the men and he stated that he saw the writers selling slips and picked them up. There have been no orders issued except that I will not tolerate any form of gambling and want the city kept clean of it."

INJURED AS FIRE DESTROYS KRESGE BUILDING BROADWAY STORE BUILDING WRECKED BY THREE-ALARM FIRE—Shown is the interior of the S. S. Kresge building, at 29-33 Broadway, which was destroyed by fire last night and early today. Five firemen were burned in the blaze, which threatened the central business district. 2nd Blaze Calls Out All Men Camden's entire fire-fighting facilities were called on during the night to battle two blazes, one a three-alarm in which five firemen were injured. The three-alarm fire swept the S. S. Kresge building at 29-33 Broadway, threatening the central business district until brought under control. Discovered at 10.17 p. m., the Kresge fire brought all except three of the city's 12 companies to the scene. At 1.52 a. m. fire broke out at the Camden Foundry Co., Front and Elm streets, requiring the three remaining companies: The North Camden blaze was confined to a small section of the building. Firemen said it was caused by an overheated stove which set moulding afire. Firemen returned from this blaze at 2.15 a. m. With five firemen temporarily unavailable for service because of face and hand burns, Deputy Chief Erickson appealed to the city electrical bureau at 12.30 to summon all available off-duty firemen. Firemen were forced to lie flat on the slush-covered pavements to play hoses into the Kresge building because of the dense smoke billowing from doorways and windows. After two hours, many were at the point of exhaustion. Smoke Fills Building The fire was believed to have started in the basement and the building was filled with smoke when firemen arrived. They were unable to enter the building. At 2 a. m. the flames broke through the roof and were visible for 10 blocks. The first floor was sagging at the ends of the building after the fire broke through the center. Forcing a corrugated iron receiving door in the rear, firemen of Engine Company No. 8 were forced to drop to the street as flames shot 35 feet into Hudson street. Lines Through Terminal Hose lines were run through the highspeed line terminal, which adjoins the fired building. A line was played into the building from the roof of the terminal. Several times firemen were forced to crawl backward from the building as back-lashes of flames roared from the interior. Taken to Cooper hospital with burns of the face were Firemen William Reed, Thomas Winstanley and Thomas McParland. All returned to the fire for duty. Treated at the scene were Acting Captain Howell Needham and Fireman Theodore Guthrie. They were burned about the hands and face. Water Bureau Helps Shortly after arrival Acting Chief Walter Mertz announced the city water pressure was low and water barely trickled from a plug on Hudson street near the rear of the building. Water Superintendent Edward Sheehan was notified and upon an inspection of the plug, found the control system had been broken as firemen attempted to open it. This reduced the ordinary flow by about two-thirds, Sheehan said. Before he arrived at the fire, Sheehan ordered five extra pumps put into operation at various city pumping stations to increase pressure. When the fire broke out, the city pumps (Continued on Page 2—Column 8)

Courier-Post clipping, March 8, 1937: Veteran Fire Captain Honored At Retirement Ceremonies, with a portrait of Capt. Eli Hunt.
Camden Courier-Post, March 8, 1937

Veteran Fire Captain Honored At Retirement Ceremonies Eli Hunt Bids Farewell to Fellow Members of City Force OFFICIALS LAUD TERM OF SERVICE The sound of a fire alarm means nothing except fond memories to Junior Capt. Eli Hunt, now, as he sits in his chair at home and lives over the many experiences he has gone through while a fireman with Engine Company No. 3, 1813 Broadway. Captain Hunt took formal leave Saturday from his comrades, the smoke-eaters of one of the busiest fire houses in the city. The 55-year-old veteran was retired March 1 for disability, and the lads he led in many a fierce battle with flames, decided to show their old skipper that their hearts were with him now that he would respond to no more alarms. Captain Hunt, his face seamed and lined with years of activity as a fire-fighter, sat silent while Battalion Chief Charles Erickson told the old smoke-eater that he was only retired, but that in spirit he was still a member of the Camden fire department. The captain smiled with satisfaction as Commissioner Mary W. Kobus, director of public safety, told Captain Hunt that he was a gallant old fire-fighter, and had fought along the traditions that had made the Camden department one of the best. Flowers Presented Satisfaction and smiles still rode the captain's face as Acting Capt. Edward MacDowell presented him with a bouquet of flowers. He was still grinning in glee when Acting Captain Rich gave him another gift. He still retained that smiling face as Commissioner Kobus presented him with a beautiful smoking set, the gift of his old comrades. Then, as he sat silently in his chair, the fact that he was no longer a fire-fighter of Camden save in memory and spirit, rolled down upon him and the pent emotion gave way, it could not longer be dammed. Tears ran like rivulets down the grizzled face of the retired captain, and he didn't attempt to stop them either, as one handkerchief against that torrent of weeping would have been as effective as trying to stop a hole in a levee with a toothpick. Standing in formation, too, were his old boys, and everyone of them had a suspicious moisture in his eye, as they gazed upon the old skipper, now ready to retire to a merited if not entirely welcome retirement. It was 8 a. m. when the ceremonies started down in the ancient camp of the firefighters on Broadway. Battalion Chief Erickson made a neat and effective speech. Remains In Spirit "You are not retiring from the department," he said, "you are still a member though no longer active. Don't figure that you are done as a fireman because you are not. "You've earned your rest and you can feel assured now that you have retired that you owe the city of Camden nothing, you have given her the best that was in you, the finest ability you commanded and the loyalty which you know. "Your boys are sorry to see you depart, but when you go they know that you go to a rest you have merited and an ease that rightfully belongs to you." Commissioner Kobus followed in like strain, expressing her delight as being able to have a part in the ceremonies. "We have to hurry this up," said the commissioner laughingly, "for I never come down to this firehouse that an alarm does not sound." "You are not retiring from the department," said the director, "you have come up from the ranks and will remain an inspiration to these young firemen, even if you be away from them. Set Good Example "You have given them a splendid example to follow by your own loyal, splendid service to Camden. You are something of an ideal for these men to follow, and so long as they stand by the ideals [illegible]ourself and the gallant old firefigh[illegible]s of the department, Camden will still have the best department of any city in the United States. "You are getting a rest period and you earned it. You don't want to feel that you have retired, you just want to remember that the boys in the department will be with you as you take the rest that you have earned. "You retire with the respect of everybody in the department, and no higher honor could be paid to any member of the fire department than to merit and hold such respect." Captain Hunt was compelled to retire as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident on Oct. 20, 1935. He had been to National Park where he has a kennel of hounds, the captain having been an ardent hunter when physically sound. Hurt Severely It was his usual 24-hours off day and as he drove through Woodbury on the way to Camden his car was struck by another at Thorofare. Captain Hunt was injured so badly that he was in the hospital for two months, with concussion of the brain, his injuries leaving a lesion that has made locomotion a mite difficult, although Captain Hunt is able to stand without the aid of his cane. "I'm going to take life easy," he said, after he had gathered his presents and been photographed numerous times." I have many relatives living around whom I haven't seen for some time, so I guess I spend a good bit of leisure going around and getting acquainted with them. "But don't forget, retired or not, I'm still a fireman and will probably jump out of bed as usual when I hear the alarm." Junior Captain Hunt joined the department on August 1, 1918, as a hoseman in Engine 3, where he was honored today. He was promoted to junior captain and assigned to Engine 9, Twenty-seventh and Federal streets in April, 1928. He returned to his old company, however, as a junior captain in March, 1932, and retired on a pension last Monday. Captain Hunt battled against some of the worst fires in Camden's history. For five and one-half hours he was on duty when flames attacked the plant of the Eavenson Soap Works on Delaware avenue and Penn street on Jan. 21, 1919. He worked straight through for 28 hours when Sitley & Sons' grain and feed plant, burned at Chelten avenue and the Pennsylvania railroad.

COL. FELTON COMMITTED SUICIDE IN HIS OFFICE Closed the Place Up Tightly and Turned on Gas Jet. HIS FAMILY AT STONE HARBOR The Real Estate Operator's Confidential Clerk Made a Startling Discovery When He Opened the Office This Morning—He Had Been Acting Strangely for Weeks. Colonel George G. Felton, the well known real estate dealer, former City Treasurer and Deputy Quartermaster of the National Guards, committed suicide sometime last night or early this morning by asphyxiating himself in the Felton building, northeast corner of Second and eFderal streets. The suicide caused a great sensation when it became generally known and a large crowd of people surrounded the building all morning until the removal of the body by Funeral Director Fithian Simmons to his office on Market street. Mr. Felton resided at 413 Washington street, but his family has been summering at Stone Harbor. The death of Col. Felton was not discovered until half-past 7 o'clock this morning, when Confidential Clerk Smith on opening the doors of the office detected the smell of gas. Col. Felton had been absent from the office for several days and Clerk Smith's suspicions were aroused, knowing that County Colector Mahlon F. Ivins was a bosom friend and business confidante of Col. Felton, he hastened across the street to his office and informing him of his misgivings, asked him to assist him in making an investigation. Before accompanying Mr. Smith to the Felton building, Collector Ivins 'phoned to the City Hall and the police in turn notified Coroners Robinson and Litchfield. The Central station also directed Policeman George Kappel to take charge of the premises and when he arrived there was joined by Policeman Harry Hiller. Chief Foster and Captain Boyle were also soon on the scene. Accompanied by Mr. Ivins, Clerk Smith returned to the Felton building. Passing through the main office they treaded their way down a dim, narrow corridor to the private examining room of the U. S. Pension physicians. Opening the door the stench of gas was so overpowering that it nearly knocked them down. They, however, bravely ventured into the room and threw open the windows, the gas escaping into the street and enabling them to pursue their gruesome search. They found it on a sofa in a corner of the room, a small but high ceilinged apartment. On the sofa lay the dead body of Col. Felton, disrobed of his outer garments and wearing a calm, peaceful expression in sad discord with his worldly troubles. Overhead the gas stove connection was on full tilt, graphically explaining the mode of death. On a chair nearby were found his trousers and vest, while his (Continued on page three) COL. FELTON'S SUICIDE hat, coat and watch were found in his own main office. Coroners Litchfield and Robinson gave a certificate of death of heart failure, superinduced by inhaling gas. From the pink discoloration about the wrists where the blood was leaving the veins, Dr. Litchfield said that the body had been dead at least six hours, though he may have been dead ten or twelve. Col. Felton was seen to enter his building at exactly 12.10 o'clock this morning. A citizen, whose name is withheld at his own request, had been talking with Night Watchman Clarence Hires on Federal street. He bade Hires good night and when he reached Second street saw the Colonel come around the corner. He came as though to enter his office by the front door, but turned and going back up Second street entered the side-door. Mr. Hires says the light was burning in the Colonel's front office from 7 o'clock last night to 5 o'clock this morning, when he went off duty and Mr. Smith found it still burning when he arrived. Colonel Felton has been acting strangely for several weeks and had not been at his office for two or three days. When asked by anxious friends what the trouble was, he would put his hands to the side of his head and complain that it was in bad shape. He was seen in the hotel at Haddon avenue station on Saturday afternoon. He carried a grip and appeared very cheerful. Asked if he had been to the shore he replied no, he had been down the country, Bridgeton. Grocer Charles F. Eastlack, by whom Col. Felton was at one time employed, went to Stone Harbor this morning to notify the family of his death. Col. Felton leaves a widow and adopted daughter, Miss Leona Felton. Col. George G. Felton was born at Westville, Mass., and was fifty-six years of age. He had been a resident of this city for about quarter of a century. Previous to that he was engaged in the grocery business at Burlington. On coming to Camden, he entered the employ of Grocer Charles F. Eastlack, at Third and Washington streets, but later entered the employ of his brother, Charles H. Felton, who had an extensive real estate business. On the death of the latter the Colonel went into the same business for himself, his brother's widow continuing the old business under the old name of Charles H. Felton & Co. It is not known, however, whether business troubles impelled him to end his life. Col. Felton was prominent in political, military and society circles. In 1892 he was appointed by Mayor Wescott a member of the Board of Public Works. In 1896 he was appointed City Treasurer to fill the unexpired term of the late F. F. Michellon. In 1897 he was elected City Treasurer for two years, his election being contested by his Democratic rival, Freedom C. Lippincott, but was confirmed by the County Board of Elections. He was Deputy Quartermaster on the Governor's staff and a member of the Masonic order and A. O. U. W. Colonel Felton was active in building and loan association circles. He was treasurer of the Mechanics' and Workingmen's Building and Loan Association and was former secretary of the People's. He was also a director of the Security Trust Company. He had also been a director in the Central Trust. Mrs. Felton will arrive from Stone Harbor this evening, when arrangements for the funeral will be made. The flag at Post 5 Hall is flying at half-mast in Col. Felton's memory, for he was a Grand Army veteran, having gone to the front when a mere boy. NOTABLE GROWTH OF LABOR UNIONS Membership of the Telegraphers Union Increasing in the West. By "The Courier's" Own Wire. Chicago, July 7.—President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, was in Chicago yesterday on his way to San Francisco, and while here addressed a meeting of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union. President Gompers expressed himself as pleased with the action of the telegraphers in organizing, and with the condition of labor organizations throughout the country. He stated that there were more unions and larger memberships of the same than at any time in the history of labor. President MacDonald, of the Telegraphers' Union, said that the membership was increasing, and that there were similar unions now established at Milwaukee and Kansas City. About five hundred telegraphers were present at the meeting. FLORIST FISH DIES SUDDENLY Expired Yesterday Morning at Pleasantville Where He Was Visiting Friends. Walter C. Fish, a well known florist of Broadway and Spruce streets, this city, died suddenly early yesterday morning at Pleasantville, N. J., where he had been visiting friends since the Fourth. For some months past he has not been well and complained frequently of pains in his head. Yesterday morning he arose as usual, and at about half-past 6 o'clock was taken with severe pains in the head. He continued to grow worse and two physicians were summoned. They ministered to the sick man, but without any apparent success, and at twenty minutes after 7 o'clock he died. A member of the family could not state this morning just what Mr. Fish's malady was. It was thought probably that he suffered from brain trouble. The body was brought to this city yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and the funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon next at 2 o'clock. Mr. Fish was a member of Fidelity Lodge, No. 3, A. O. U. W., Improved Order of Heptasophs; Camden Conclave, No. 215; Witherspoon Circle, No. 1, Brotherhood of the Union. "JUST A GENTLE TOUCH." That Was All, But Joseph's Watch and Money Went With It. Annie McAntee, alias Hayes, twenty-four years old, of Philadelphia, and Joseph Costello, thirty years old, also of Philadelphia, were arraigned before Recorder Stackhouse this morning on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The twain were picked up by Policeman Matlack on Sunday morning about 3 o'clock at Third and Walnut streets, very much the worse for liquor. The aimless wanderings of the couple and their suspicious actions first caught the attention of the policeman and he followed them. Costello became tired of walking and went to sleep on a convenient door step. At this stage of the game the Hayes woman was seen by the officer to abstract something from the clothes of the sleeping man, and then to slip away and hide behind a tree on the opposite side of the street. In a few moments the man awoke and not seeing the woman started off down Walnut street. As soon as he was out [illegible] sight the woman skipped down Third
