Above all glo**ed the golden apirit of
the brotherhood of man.
The spirit was maintained for the
project-while it lasted. But on" pay
ing bills. going over the books and at
ending to other little matters of re
, capitulation each week. the Rand
. bcnool backers made some cold* and
most un-Socialistic discoveric
Thc first was that there was always
a deficit?sometimes more and som-?
times less, but a deficit nevertheless.
Ihen it was ascertained that the apoe
tites of some left wing Socialists ave
comparatively greater than the con
tents of their purses. Lastly, a"d a3
the concentration of all other bils of
, knowledge thus gained, the thought be
, canie ir.ipressed that one cannot take a

the tub and forgetf- to stick the little

r?,*"/? VieaoaFifth Ave'-"e as No. 1 East
Fifteenth Street. So they went casting
about for an experienced innkeeper,
and hnally found one in the person of
a Btanch cupporter of the Democratir
party whosc only knowiedge o' Mar\
was that a genUeman of that name
pressed his trousers regularlv on Gat
urday nights.
The restaurant became the sole prop
erty of the Democrat, with mingled
s^gns of profound regret and heartfelt
thar.ks. Whereupon the golden suirit
ot tbe brotherhood of man suddenlv
found itself kicked all the way from
East Fifteenth Street into the chill
waters laving the granite base of B?d
low s Island.
AU day yesterday and long into the
night houro two Eolemn-faced men
raced up and down and ba<*k and
forth before 7 East Fifteenth Street.
Xoticing their vigil, one man on his
way into the Rand School to hear a
lecture on: "Socialism?A New Deal
for the Workingman," halted one of
them and inquired the reason.
"We're strike pickets, we are," was
the explanation. "The first thing the
new restaurant boss did was to cut our
wages as waiters and when we objected
he gave us all the air. Then he. hired
others to fill our jobs. So we've de?
elared a strike on the joint. Me a So
cialist? Well, I was once, but vou can
lay a five-case note that I've reformed."
"The restaurant diffcul+jes can bc
settled without the aid of the press."
was the statenient issued at the Rand
School.
The police took a hand in straighten
ing out the difficulties last night when
they arrested four of the picketers.
Melvin Sanderson, of 2460 Seventh Ave?
nue, and Hays Jones, of 3?9 West Twen
ty-flfth Street, were locked up in the
East Twenty-second Street station on
a charge of picketing.
Joseph Harris, of 10'J Moore Street
Brooklyn, and Louis Fuchs, of 16 East
Seventh Street, were locked up follow
ing an altercation with a representa
tive of the workera now employed in the
restaurant. This man waa removed to
Bellevue Hospital, with cuts aboufc the
face and throat. He gave is name as
John Harpman, of 28 East Fouvt^euth

Jazz Complex
Harms Writers,
'Contlnuoil from n^n eno
and thc organs and expresses itself in
beaiity and harmony, in phrases and
patterns of rhythm which constitute
what we cai! style in writing."
The primitive mind, according to Mr.
Churchill, is thc supporter of dogma,
because it pays.
"Don't let us fool ourselves that we
are being spiritual when ue fcllow
orthodox religion and subscribe to the
aoeepted morality." he said. "We do
it because the primitive mind dema"ds
!t. Dishonesty ck.c not pay. lhe
primitive mind is coneerned with
hodily preservation and renroduction.
Cupidity, caution and fcar are the
emotions that distinguish it. Orthodox
morals and religion give the primitive
mind tho friends, thc security of posi?
tion and tinance that will maintain
the body. It is purely materialistic and
not idealiatic o.r spiritual."
It is the primitive mind, Mr. Church
ill declared, that dominates present
day education and is fatal to the
creative mind. Dogma is thc worst
enemy of tiie creative impulsc and, to
crether with orthodox morals, is fos
f red in thc schoolroom.
"The creative emotions," he addeci,
"cannot successfully contend again?t
primitive emotions. All hodily and
nervous ter.sion is :?. sign of the domi
nance of thc; primitive emotion?. There
is no good tryinr to write in those
intervals. There are two ways of driv..
ing out primitive emotions. One is by
praycr, which every artirt uses?
whether he calls it by that name or
not. The other is by relaxation and
permitting thought to be reolaced by
creative rhythm.
"Anxiety over idc-as that will not
come only increases the tension and
thc. dominance of the primitive mind.
Creative knowledge comes by creative
emotions, and those emotions can be
stimulated by the proper rhythm. We
cannot force the creative mind to as
sert itself. We can only relax and let
it exert itself."
This dualism of the mind. Mr. Church
ii! said, had not been properly taught
by modern psycholocry, but was to be
found in the doctrines of Christianity,
especially those outlined by St. Paul.
rhe only thing St. Pau! lacked, he said,
was the scientific phraseology to make
the meanmg olear to moderns.
Churchill Ampiifies Theory
Mr. Churchill said last night that his
Iceture was the first public revelation
of his theory, arrived at after a study
of : .ere than three years. He did not
care to confirm Mr. Butler in saying
that it h ? -' alren ; received the ,_d_
ment of savants. It would stand or
fall, said, as disclosed 7* detail in
an article shortly to he published. He
undi rstook, however, to e:;pan hi?
heories a bit.
In discussing his hypothesi3 of the
existence of two minds belonging to
man. the author said it was an at?
tempt to put into modern scientific
t.-i , the psychology of the gospels.
"Of thc. two minds, I call one the
primitive mind," Mr. Churchill con
tinued. "It is not the concention of a
subconsr.ioui or unconscious mind. Ir
is a mind whose organ is a brain on
each side cf the spinal column and
which .7 cailed the sympathetic ner?
vous system in physiology. That mind
controls digestion and enerffires the
gland.'. fcr actk-.. Its rhythm it a;
syncopated or lazr rhythm?the
rhythm of the blood beat. It also con-'
trols the heart.
"Al! primitive acts are p. rfcrmed in
that. rhythm. A baby or cu7> takes the
breast in it. It is the rhythm in which
digestion is carried on through special j
sets of muscles. It is the rhythm of i
the dancing scvage, ar.d we ordinarily!
chew and laugh in that rhythm when
laughter is an escape of primitive erno
tions. That mind is the seat of primi?
tive i:_*.incts.
"Now, we have another mind, which j
I call the creative mind. and that uses j
what we ordinarily call the brain as its :
cigestive organ, and the brain digests i
emctions or experiences. These emo- j
tions are translated into phenomenal j
ideas by the brain.
"lhe rhythm of that mind is un- |
syncopated, and that mind regulates |
but does not ccntrol bretthing, and the
breathing is ur.syrcopated. That mind ;
i: the factor in what we know as evolu- i
tion, and it teaches the primitive mind !
its habits, such as walking, writing and ?
craftsmanship. All those acts are per- ?
formed m the creative rhythm.
"The cualism, the divided self in
man, is due to the opposition of these :
two minds and the opposition of the I
two rhythms. The will energy is in '
'^s'-'f.oopated or creat.vc- rhythm. St. '
Paul knew a great deal more about j
psychology than W6 suEpect; when he
, spoke of the mind of the flesh end the
, mind of the spirit.
"The problem of life and of conduct
I is to live in the creative mind, and the
. interesting thing about the creative
; mind is that it can possess the senses
; and give sensual and sensuous satis
i faction so that we can live in either
| one or two values of emotions.
"I class the primitive emotions or
' instincts as mammon, which is the
, Syriac wonl for riches and symbolic
; of value. It means in general acquisi
! tion and possession of material things,
: -oncern for the morrow and what we
' shall eat and wear. The creative mind
; also has instincts, and these may be
, designated as hope and faith, a'lovt
| of harmony and proportion and a de
I sire for personal communion with
: those who are loved.
"These instincts are just as true
: and as capable of graMfication us the
primitive instincts. The cause ot" our
neurosis to-day in a struggle to be.
creative, and this struggle is a hope
less one unless we can give a scien
fcific basis for the operation of the
mind.
"My contention is that the
, psychology in the gospels and in the
I Pauline Epistles is a orofoundly true
| psychology, but that it has rcmained
' unidentified until to-day, when we are
l able now to put it in some scientific
I terms and to give a scientific basis
; for what is known ai morality and
social conduct.
"The conflict between the two
rhythms is sentimenta'ism, and the
ear of an artist could detect senti
mentalism in music, but would not be
able to prove it scientifically. I de
fine urt as 'not yet' science. But
there was one branch of art which has
been scientized. For instance, Mr.
Hambidge has given mathematical
proof that certain Greek vases are
true to natural law. ,\n artist could
? rccognise this, if he were living in a
state of wholeness?that is in the
cieative mind.
* "Now, belief in persons-; Is tho same
thing as belief in art. We can get a
personal conviction of an individual
here in this phenomenal world which
we feel to be true. That is a pure
creative emotion, but we cannot prove
that conviction scientiiically any inore
than we can prove scientificali;- that
a work of art, a picture, is sentimental.
; "We can acquire exactly the same
personal conviction of a person in what
is called the after life, but at present
the proof of such communion for socie?
ty must Iie in its fruits in creativeness,
in art or science. This proof of inimor
Itality is open to any individual who
I will make the adventure which isad
' vocated in the gospelr.
I "The conception of conduct. what is
; known as 'righteousness,' is a resolu
! tion of wills. The source of these
; wills is an emotiona! or 'spiritual'
' rcalm, but the practical effects of them
come in dealing with people and in
i nociety here. In other words. to use
St Paul's phrase, we wrestle not with
| flesh and blood. but with power and
principalities. When we li-^-^ in one
of these ninds our eyes '6ingle,' and
we are not opposing the energies. Ali
loss of energy comes from the clash
of these two energies and hence of the
two rhythms.''

Enright Wins
Right to Ask
$3,750 Pension
Comniissiouer May Apply in
Year After Retirement
From Office, Is Ruling
by Appellate Division
IVo Deeision on Award
Order Upheld Preventiug
Collect ion of Annuity as
Retired Police Lieutenant
lhe Appellate Division yesterday
sustained thc right of Police Commis
sioner Enright1 to apply for a pension
of $3,750 a year after his retirement
from the. office of Commissioner,
though the court did not say he was
entitled to receive it.
The action of the court was 8 mod!
fication of an injunction order granted
by Justice Finch, in the Supreme
Court, in an action brought by William
J. Schieffelin, head of the Citizens
Union, cuing as a taxpayer to restrain
Commissioner Enright from paying
himself a pension from the police pen?
sion fund. That part of Justice Finch':.
restraining order to prevent Commis?
sioner Enright from collecting a pen?
sion as lieutenant, in which rank he
quit the uniformed force after twenty
five years of ser\ ice. was upheld. He
had announced that he had no inten?
tion cf applying for that pension
The sectioit 0f the law which brought.
about the litigation is Chapter 651 of
the Laws of 1918. Commissioner En?
right, it. is said, had this legislation
put through to fit his own case It pro
vides that a retiring Police Commis?
sioner or Dpputy Commissioner, who
previously has served twenty years on
the uniformed force, may apply for the
$'7750 a year pension allowed a retir?
ing chief inspector. As Justice Finch
pointed out at the time he issued his
injunction, a man may retire from the
uniformed force as a patrolman. serve
a short time as a Deputy Commissioner
and then receive a pension of $3,750 a
year, or about twice the amount he re?
ceived while. working on the force,
As to Commissioner Enright's power
to collect a pension as a retired lieu
tenant while acting ar, Commissioner,
Justice Greenbaum, in thc opinion of
tne Appellate Division, expressed the
opinion of the court that Mayor Hylan
was without power to grant Enright a
!oa7.c of absence as lieutenant when he
appointed him to the higher office, and
that. as a matter of fact Commissioner
Enright ceased to be a member of the
force after a leave of five days, or
shortly after he became Commissioner
in 1918. Under the circumstances he
could not receive the pension granted
a lieutenant.
"And even if the Mayor had such
power," said Justice Greenbaum, "it
seem to us that such action wa:. inef
fec.tive in view of thc provisions of
Section 303 of the grcater New Kork
charter, which. provides, 'Absence
without leavc of any member of thc
police force for five conseoutive days
shal! be decmed and held to be a rost'g
nation, and the member so absent shall
at the expiration of such period ccasc
to bc a member of the police force and
be dismissed therefroin without
notice.'
"In the case before us it does not
appear what leave of absence the
Mayor granted, but the. inference is
that it was for an indefinite period.
If the Mayor had no power to grant
any leave of absence, then the defend
ant ceased to be a member of the po?
lice force. after the expiration of five
days."
Justice Greenbaum said that when
Enright accepted his office of Com?
missioner his office as lieutenant was
made vacant, as he could not hold two
officcs, T'ne leave of absence granted
to him as lieutenant therefore was
nugatory, because hc no longer held
that job.
Under the decision of the Appellate
Division Commissioner Enright cannot
collect a pension as a retired lieuten?
ant, his name being stricken from the
pension roll, while the path is left open
to Mr. Schieffelin when Enright or
some retiring deputy commissioner ap
plies for a chief inspector's pension to
apply for another injunction to prevent
its payment, that matter not being be?
fore the court.
Commissioner Enright's victory
merely gives him permission to apply
for the pension when he quits his
cornmissionership.

The Board of Aldermen met in spe
j cial session yesterday and, fixed the
| 19212 tax rate on the basis of 2.74 for
I each borough. Added to this are the
j assessments for public improvements
! in each borough, making the rate in
j Manhattan. '2.75; the Bronx, 2.75;
Brooklyn. 2.76; Queens, 2.79, and Rich?
mond, 2.78.
The tax rate last vear was: Manhat?
tan, 2.77; the Bronx, 2.84; Brooklvn, '
2.80; Queens, 2.85, and Bichmond, 2.83. |
| In receiving from Comptroller Craig j
| the budget figures on which the tax I
| rate is based. the board took the total <
I of $250,601,570, as adopted originally i
j by the Board of Estimate. The Board '
I of Aldermen subse'quently cut $271,500 '
I from the county anproDriations in I
j Richmond and the Bronx' but it was '
, held that this action was illegal and the !
I appropriations were restored. The ?
j combining of the county taxes with the :
| city taxc-s to make. a uniform rate in i
all the boroughs was accomol'shed bv I
a recent bill drafted by Comptroller ?
Craig and passed by the Legislature |
This legislation was made necessarv to i
bring the rate within the constitutional
limit.
Realty Valuation $10,000,000,000 i
_ The total tentative real estate valua- j
tions on v.-hich the tax is assessed made i
public on October 1 last, by the De- I
partmenfc of Taxes and Assessments, '
was $9,947,323,092, and on oersonai !
property $667,480,950. The final as- i
sossed valuations obtained yesterday \
are. $10,249,991,835 for real estate, and \
$210,608,045 for personal property. The !
real estate assessment would app'ear to j
be more than the tentative valuations.
but special franchisc taxes from the j
state to the. amount. of $426,500,910 are j
included in the final figures. The spe- j
cial franchise taxes were not included j
in the tentative figures. This would
show a loss on real estate assessment
values from the tentative figures or"
$123,832,167, and a loss from the ten?
tative as?pssment<- on personal prop?
erty of $456,872,905. These losses are
accounted for by the swearing off and
readjustment of assessments by the
owners of real estate and personal
property. The tentative nersonal prop?
erty assessments are always largely
sworn off.
The Department of Taxes and Assess?
ments contends that there has been no
such loss?$123,832,167?on the real
estate assessrnents, as the figures in
the Comptri'ller's office show. Members
of the Tax T>epartment pointed out that
this apparent loss includes property
exempt from taxes under the tax
ordinance, which could not be wholly
determined at the time the tentative
figures were made up, and other items.
Borough Valuations
The final figures on assessment val?
uations in the five boroughs, for real

Silver Tide in Yukon
Is Rising Steadily
Mining of Precious Metal Pro

in Two Years

is steadily rising and the Klondike con
tinues the banner gold producing canip
I of the entirc Northland, says a thirty
I eight page special edition of "The Daw

I Silver mining has progressed at an
? astonishing rate in the last two years.
j Fifteen hundred mines, a large propor
j tion of which are producing, nave been
staked. The fields have been covored
by companies that hold most of the
| big producing clainis and are pushing
i their development. A year ago the
Yukon Gold Company was the only
large organization engaged in quartz
mining and exploration at Mayo, but
. since then two well known American
I companies have obtained control of
i many claims, which large crews are
| now developing.
The most notable strike on Keno IIi;
'? '..as the finding of the lode on tiie wei
: srd, or McQucston slope. The fhiding
of this rich mine was rccidental, as
j in the case of a great many inineral
j discoveries. A buokboard carrying two
, mer. skidded down -t slippery embanb
ment and turned up a piece of float.
