One of OuSted
Five on Stand
In Own Behalf
Waldman, First of Accused
Men to Testify, Explains
Party Group in Assembly
Worked on Unit Rule
Rev. Dr. Thomas Testifies
New York Pastor Adniits
Soeialism Has Tendency
to Undermine Church
From a fitaff Correspondent
ALBANV, Feb. 24.? The first of the
five oustcd Socialist Assemblymcn to
nppear before the Judiciary Commit?
tee of the Assembly as a witness in
his own behalf took the stand late this
afternoon. He is Louis Waldman, who
has been a member of the Assembly for
several ytars.
His testimony was cut short by the
adjournnient for the day, and con
cerned the activities of the group of
ten Socialists who were members of
the Assembly in 1918. Waldman said
that they adopted a unit rule as a leg?
islative group, which was several times '
broken, because members of the group
could n.ot agree. Ile said at that time
Republican members of tTic Assembly
several timcs conferred with them.
The major part of to-day's proceed
inga was taken up with the testimony
of the Rev. Dr. Xorman Thomas, of
Xew York City.
fastor Escapea Grilling
Dr. Thomas, a graduate of Princeton
nnd of the Union Theological Seminary,
made a profound impresaion on up
Btate legislators when. at tlie very be
ginning of his testimony, he recited
hia work as a minister, which began
With his appcintment as asistant
pastor of the fashionable Brick Presby
terian Church, of which the Rev. Dr.
Henry van Dyke was for many years
the guiding spirit.
The big audience listened intently fo
Dr. Thomas's testimony and when it
came to cross-examination, the friendly
spirit of the spectators was reflected in
the questions put to him by Martin
Conboy and Archibald E. Stevenson, of
counsel to the prosecution. He was the
first witness on either side to cscape a
grilling,
l ndennines Church Influencc
^ hen asked to answer one of the
charges made in Speaker Sweet's in
dictmenl of the five Socialists, that the
Socialists party undermines the influ?
encc. of tbe church, the witness said:
"1 hink that it probably does tend to
undermine the influencc of the church.
If you understand the church in a cer
tain senae and in a eertain way, it does
not undermine the influencc'of what
ought to be dear to the church?1 think
it can be counted on generally that
Socialists, and a great many people not
Socialists, are antagonistic to the
church. I have no fear that the church
that tries to-work for the principles
of a brotherhood and truth will get
along quite admirably with the Social?
ists."
The extreme idealism of the witness
was brought. out. by Archibald E. Ste?
venson, who, after having him tell of
the numerous pacitist societies he was
connected with during the war, asked
this question:
"Well, then, do you understand that
if this country had been invaded by a
foreign enemy you woud still adhere to
your doctrine of non-resistance?"
"I am so far los to the ordiary con
victions of men," replied Dr Thomas,
"that if this country were invaded by a
foreign enemy I believe the ultimate
victory could be won by a policy of
passive reaiatance more surely, with
less loss of life, with less aru'sing of
hat.red, than by armed resistanco."
The other witness of the day was Al
pernon Lee, who, in answer to ques?
tions put to him by Morris Hillquit,
said that the Socialist party did not.
expect to accomplish its proposed
??hanges by violence, and does not suffer
any such expression among its mem?
bers. \

This Way, Astrologer Says
Planets to Heap Their Wrath on Mother Earth,
Asserts Professor Meyer, Who Warns City to Lay

Don't put away that snow shovcl
yet, and if you were hesitating between
a pair of rubbers and a spring hat the
stars counsel you to chose the rubbers.
There is yet another blizzard in the
offing; not a common blizzard, either,
such as we are used to, but a "rip

; Householders should order more coal

tear its hair and double the wages of
al! employees, for the snow wo have
is as nothing to t'hc snow that is to be.
This is the warning of the stars as
read by Hoboken's only astrologer,
j Professor Gustave Meyer. The pro
j fessor took a look out of his study
; window yesterday, saw the horses
j splashing through the black slush, saw
the snowflakes fall ing. He forthwith

$100,000 Offered
In Court to Give
Moffitt New Start
Creditor Eager to Back j
Realty Man; Lawyer De?
sires Clieiit Freed to Re?
turn West to Repay All
While William II. Moffitt, the aged
''millionaire realty man," brought back
from San Jose, Cal., on a warrant
charging grand larceny, was in the
prisoners' pen in Judge Rosalsky's [
courtroom, General Sessions, yesterday
a man in 1 he courtroom whistled to
him and shouted:
"Say, Moffitt, I'll starid back of you
to the extent of $100,000."
The courtroom buzzed with excite
ment. Judge Rosalsky rapped with his
gavel and ordered the whistler before
him. Hc asked:
"Who are you ?"
"My naSnc is Edward W. Thompson.':
I'm a law book publishcr of Northport,
Long Island."
"Well, you ought to know better than j
to whistle in court. You ought to read j
some of your law books."
"Your honor, I'm sorry. I thought '
court. had adjourned." i
Subsequently Thompson declared that j
he was willing to back Moffitt to any [
extent, that he had lent him money at !
various times and found the real estate !
operator, who is said to have made '
millions in his deals' here, tlioroughly '
reliable.
"He owes me money now," Thompson I
went. on. "I've been offered 75 cents t
on the dollar, but I would not accept |
the offer, as I know ho will pay up |
every cent." j
Moffitt. who is said to have m;ide !
$4,000,000 in his operations here and
insists he borrowed $100 to get out of
(own when creditors closed in on him
in 1017, pleaded not guilty to the
larceny charge.
As a result of a conference between
Moffitt, the District Attorney, and
Moses II. Grossman, the real' estate
man's counsel, the latter proposed a
novel plan to Judge Rosal^kv at the
arraignment.
The lawyer asked the court to per?
mit Moffitt to return to California
where, he declared, Moffitt had laid the
foundation for a big real estate busi?
ness while detectives here were search
ing all over the country for him. Gross?
man asked that Moffitt be permitted to
go west, either on nominal bail or on
his own recognizance.
If this were done, the lawyer, de?
clared, Moffitt would devote t'hc next
year to paying otf his creditors, who,
Grossman said, held claima totaling
between $50,000 and $100,000 against
the prisoner.
I'earl Carpcn Home, Is Report
Detective? said yesterday that Pearl
Carpen, the girl who poscd as Moffitt's
wife on the Pacific Coast, has returned
to Xew York and is now living with
her mother in Findley Avenue, Ihe
Bronx. It was said at. the Findley
Avenue address last night that Miss
Carpcn was not in the house, and that
r.o one here ktnew anything of her
whereabouts.
While being f|uestioned yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney Waugh
Moffitt broke down and went. "All I
want is a chance to pay this money
back," ho said. "No one could be more
eager to do the right thing than I am."
Just after Moffitt left Mr. Waugh's
effice William H. Hachmeister, a butler
in the omploy of M. J. Stroock, of 88
Central Park West, called upon the
Assistant District Attorney. He said
that in 1906 he pai.d $400 to Moffitt.
for two lots in Centre Moriches, Long
Island. and that Moffitt assured him
that the property was clear from en
cumbrances. ' He lenrned later, he said,
that there was a big mortgage on the
lots. as well as unpa'id taxes. vi
"We expect to get at least a hundred*
such complaints," said Mr. Waugh,
after hearing Hachmeister's story.

Firenien Urged to Organize
The first of a series 6"f informal dis
.cvssions hold by the Uniformed Fire
men's Association took plaee yester?
day in the assembly rooms of the
Pulitzor Buildinrr, at which Acting
Mayor La Guardia addressed the fire?
men. He advocated more pay for t.he
firemen and declared there was no
reason why the firemen "should be in
hock to make the Morris Plan rich."
He said he was not telling the firemon '
one thing and then going back and vot- I
ing otherwisc in the Board of Esti- j
mate.
Hc suggested that tho nremen get
the business men of the city interestod
in their cause. He declared that it
was far better that the firemen be
overpaid than underpaid, Major La
Guardia said that the taxpayers and
real estate meri are organized and he '
saw no reason why the firemen should
not also be organized.

Borden's Will Not Raise
Price of Milk in March
Borden's Farm Products Company
will not advance the. price of milk iii
March, John J. Fitzpatrick, retail sales
manager. said yesterday.
He said the heavy costs entailed in
dehvertng milk during the storm were
at first beheved to warrant a higher
price. The business at the 16-cent
price, which is one cent a quart less
than that asked by other large dis
tributors, has increased to such an ex?
tent, however, it is thought that tho
qunnlity sold will iiiake up the def
icit. ?*? r?
band blizzard is due to hit us on the
26th, 27th, 28th and 29th.
"Hence the public would do well t,o
secure sufficient supplics in advance,
such as eatables, fuel, etc, or the
nccessaries of life, and I might add in
passing that it would be a very good
idea for the city officials to have the
present snow fall rcmoved immediately
in ordter to avert serious consequences.
"1 judge that we will experience
sdfcie of the most pcculiar atmospheri
cal disturbances in history on and
during the above mentioned dates, and
that calamities of magnitude also will
occur on land and sea."
That is all for the present. Profes?
sor Meyer is busy constructing the
horoscopes of the Presidential candi?
dates, and when he iinds out whether
General Wood or Herbert Hoover has
the best deal from the planet Venus he
will tell us what President the wom?
en's votes will elect.
This is the first Presidential year
in all astrology that the planet Venus
has figured in the game, and the as
trologers are lying awake days worry
ing about it.
Aehes and Ref use
Piled in Streets
New Peril to City
Waste Removal 45 Days in
Arrears Beeanse of the
Snow; MeStay Calls for
$270,00(^to Speed Work
While the streets of New York are
being gradually cleared of their three
weeks' accumulation of snow and ice,
Commissioner Arnold B. MacStay of the
Street Cleaning Department declared
yesterday .that the city is now facing
another serious problem resulting from
the tie-up.
The snow banks, ho said, have set
the department back forty-five days in
its ash collections, as a result of which
pavements, gutters and streets are be?
ing piled high by householders with
cinders and refuse. The Commissioner
went before the F.oard of Aldermen
yesterday with a request for a $270,000
bond issue to meet the situation, but
the matter was refrred to the Finance
Committee, which is not expected to
report back until next Tuesday.
With regard to charges made by the
Women's Municipal League that anti
quated methods prevailed in the Street
Cleaning Department, Commissioner
MacStay admitted yesterday that they
were true. "The Street Cleaning De?
partment," he said, "has not,
progressed with the city in any re?
spect. since the administration of
Colonel Waring years ago. 1 have
been unable to get appropriatior.s
necessary for the installation of
modern equipment."
He pointed out. that the old ash
carts having a catfacity ofonly one
and one half cubic yards must still be
used to remove ashes from large
apartment houses, and some of tho ash
dumps, he said. are "only held to?
gether by the grace of God." As soon
as the present snow removal work is
disposed of, he said he would present a
report to the Board of Estimatc and
Apportionment "that. will startle the.
town."

The Iron Worker
and King Solomon
When the Temple at Jerusalem was com?
pleted the King gave a fcast to the Artificers
employed in its construction. It had been
given out that the particular craftsman who
had done the most to complete the great struc?
ture should be seated next to the King.
On unveiling the Throne it was found that
a blarksmith had usurped the seat of honor on
the right of the King's place, not yet awarded,
whereunto the people clamored and the guards
rushed to cut him down. "Let him speak,"
commanded Solomon.
"Thou hast, O King, invited all craftsmen
but me; yet how could these builders have
raised the Temple without the tools I have
fumished?"
"True," decreed Solomon, "the seat is his of
right; all honor to the iron worker."
This is the Jewish legend of record.
Some of the boys who last week built snow
houses began their careers as builders.
Many of the young lads who got their edu?
cation as mechanics, graduating in the past
twenty years, have taken their places as crafts?
men and have high seats among the able
builders of bridges, railroads, machinists and in
the great construction work of the war.
The Nation is proud of them.

Crepe meteor frocks
At a most un usual price, $42.HO
In the wonltn's gown salons
Five most attractive models made in
an excellent quality of crepe meteor
embodying a great deal of springtime
simplicity and charm.
One is a frock that makes clever use
of tabs, bits of folded gros-grain ribbon
for trimming. The frock has a rather
r long waist-line and skirt that conforms
j to the popular French silhouette bv
being softly draped at the hern.
The other frock is of crepe meteor
trimmed with tiny finely pleated frills
edging the softly paneled skirt and neck
and short sleeves.
Two other frocks feature fine beadin?
applied skillfully in attractive motifs
a third emphasizes the crushed girdie
Paris now favors.
All are as simple and attractive as
the frocks sketched.
