yesterday a campaign of far reading
plans to educate and win the approval
of State and city officials and of ?v-*le
public.
The two organisations put into cir ?

service rendered by New York pollcc

tc maintain himself and his family on
the lowest level of health and decency,
according to the twin survey. This fig
ure was obtained by applying the of
ficial United States Department of Labor
estimate of the kind and Quantity of
goods and services required to support
a working man's family to the existing
prices for these goods and services in
two typical sections of New York, Har
lem and South Brooklyn.
The priS'-nt salaries of firemen and
policem. n are inadequate by $*>2 for the
maintenance of even a minimum of
health md decency, according to this
report. Since 1914. it Is maintained,
firemen and policemen have lost $4,222
In Inadequate salaries because increases
were not rranted proportionate to in
crtases in the cost of living.
As showing the pinch of the unfairly
low ?.i! iries paid to the services here,
the r port states that at least 50 peri
ctnt. o' the uniformed forces was com
pelled to borrow money between 191.'
and 1920. Figures obtained from a con
cern lending on a well known plan show
that no less than 6.4 02 loans were made
to firemen and policemen In that period.
Charts and tables of statistics amply
set forth the contentions that New York
policemen and firemen shoulder a great
er responsibility than Is carried by the
?ervice* In any other city. The New
York district rated as congested and
therefore hazardous contains lo.OO
acres. In Chicago the congest.-d district

JEWS FROM EUROPE
WARMLY DEFENDED
Bernstein Tolls Hebrew Aid
Society They Make Good
American Citizens.
Jewish immigration to the United
Sillies was dafendod yesterday by John
L. Bernstein, president of the Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society
of America, in a report read at its
thirteenth innual meeting at the Hlas
Building, 425 to 437 Lafayette street. He
dealt with the character of the Jew
ish Immigrants In an effort to disprove
the assertions of their assailants.
During 1921. he said, 107.300 Jewish
iilomltrrants arrived In this country. Of
this number only 490 were deported, and
most of these because the Jewish quota
had been exceeded. Not one of them,
he declared, had been deported because
of Immorality, criminal or anarchistic
temdencies. In 1920 there were only
twlve deportations o?t of a total of
f!">.COO Jews who arrived at the port of
New York. None of these, either, was
for Immorality or criminal or anarchis
tic tendencies, he slid. In view of these
statistics. Dr. Bernnteln said he could
not se* why there should be an out
cry agit'nst Jewish Immigrants. He
declared ihe Jews nwke good American
citizens.
The socl^v is anxious to see a care
fully thougVt out immigration policy
adopted by tfiis country. Mr. Bernstein
said, but he branded the present im
mltrratlon law as "fit and start policy."
The remainder of the report of the
president was devoted to the social and
welfare activities of the society, in
cluding the extensive work that it has
been carrying on in lCuropr.
Addresses were made hv Leon Kim
aikv, vlce-nros'dent. and Leon Sanders
and Jacob Massel. members of fhe
board of directors. Mr Kama'ky and
Mr. Massel. thr first commissioners to
be sent to Rurppe by the society, told
what they had seen while there, and
s^oke of the activities which were put
forward by the organization for the
relief of war sufferers. Judge Sanders

HARDING HOAXED^
ANDERSON CHARGES
Will Ask Ban ton to Investi
gate Activities of the Con
stitutional League.
William H. Anderson State Superin
tendent of tho Anti-Saloon League, will
ask District Attorney Banton to-day to
investigate the activities of the Consti
tutional League of America, with head
quarters at 1542 Broadway, an organ
ization which, he charges, has hoaxed
President and Mrs. Harding and other
persons of national prominence Into giv
ing It the support of their names with
out knowledge that It has for an ul
terior motive an attack upon the dry
laws.
Mr. Anderson has sent broadcast to
the papers of tbe country a statement
which he heads "President and Mrs.
Harding victims of hoax, perpetrated by
wets in fake 'Constitutional League'."
The league Mr. Anderson refers to has'
for its national director, Jerome A.
Meyers. William De Foreet Manice is
Its treasurer. i
According to the Anti-Saloon League'
leader, Mr. Meyers "Is opposed to the
Eighteenth Amendment, favors nulllfl
! cation of it by repeal or emasculation
of the Volstead act; conducted a wet
speaker' bureau and helped put over
I the fake balloting recently conducted for
the purpose of showing sentiment
[ against the prohibition amendment and
is now actively engaged in promoting
the organization of a New York branch
of the Assoo'atlon Opposed to the Pro
I hlbltlon Amendment, to be launched at
i Carnegie Hall on the evening of
March 15." J

Mr. Manice, according to Mr. Ander
| son, also Is active in promoting the As
I soclatlon Opposed to the Prohibition
Amendment. I
J I shall ask the District A'torney of
New York county." says Mr. Anderson,
j "to investigate the operations of the
! Constitutional League of America and to
And out whether It is true that Mr.
Myers has two check books, one for and
one against the Constitution. If the ac
tive perpetrators of this league have col
lected any money from any persons who
are honestly in favor of the Eighteenth
Amendment and its enforcement and
used any of It against any part of the
Constitution they have unquestionably
i been guilty of pun'shablo fraud.
"If. on the other hand, it Is true, as
we have been Informed, that It Is the
liquor Interests that are really behind
this organization as contributors, volun
tary or otherwise, and the distinguished
men and women deceived 'nto taklnr a
place on its national committee are slm
I ply being used for window dressing nnd
n? a proof of the political standing of
the active promoters, and no mon~y Is
follected from those who are in favor
of enforcement Instead of nullification of
the Constitution, then no penal ofTense
has been committed, but the public has a
right to the facts, and the prominent men
and women, many of them outstanding
advocates of prohibition, or at least of
enforcement, who have hern hoaxed, are
entitled to the truth so they may act
as their Judgment dictates."
IJrys In Committer.
Mr. Anderson says he has found listed
on the national committee of the Con
stitution*! League the names of the Presi
dent and Mrs. Harding. Mrs. Calvin Coo
Hdge, Secretary Hughes, Secretary Wal
lace, Attorney-rseneral Daughertv. Sena

Franklin D. Uoosevelf, former Gov. Whit
man, all of whom, he says, are either ad
vocates of prohibition or strongly com
mitted to the enforcement of the Vol
stead act.
"Others." Mr. Anderson continues
"are Andrew J. Mellon, Herbert C.

Trickiness in Handling
Property of Calvary Bap

CALLS AIM RULE OH RUIN
Poor Women Ordered Out of

Curbed. Ts Contention.
Trickiness in the handling of the
property Interests of tho Calvary
Baptist Church, snobbery which led to
tl.e ousting of poor women from pews,
worldly mindedness, and "a foolish
effort to cover sin" were charged last
night against some members of a
group opposing him by Dr. John
Roach Straton In the pulpit of his
church.
Setting aside the regular Sunday
evening sermon, Dr. Straton turned
all his eloquence to the task of anni
hilating "a clique of chronic trouble
makers" who, he charged, were using
Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur, who
was pastor emeritus of the church un
til he resigned the honor, "as a re
spectable false front" in a bitter war
upon his pastorate.
There was not an empty seat In the j
big church in West Fifty-seventh street
when Dr. Straton rose to spwik his mind
concerning the "dear friends" who, he
paid, were conspiring treacherously to
wreck his administration. Rule or ruin
was their aim, he asserted, ancl since
they had found they could not rule him i
even through the third degree their aim
was to ruin him.
In his effort to prove that the group ;
opposing him was a small one. which
had for years been most active In mak
ing trouble. Dr. Straton took his audi- j
ence back to the time of Dr. MacArthur.

the pulpit longer after his forty years
of service hid not the conditions led
him to resign. He reviewed the affairs !
of the church under Dr. Joseph W.
Kemp, who had a stormy career In the 1
pastorate, which Anally led to his reslg- j
nation.
Watchful Waiting Policy.
In charging conspiracy against the
group attackluK him. a group which, ho j
snid, been defeated asrain and again
and'ousted from every office In the
church. Dr. Straton read newspaper re
ports, In which those opposed told of
how they Intended to retain membership
In the church and wait for the time to
come when Dr. Straton's course was
run. ,
mAa to their publicly announ^d pro
uram of watchful waiting In the hope
that T will fall." he sriid. 'and thit the
work I was doing will collnpse. I have ,
to say only that the situation reminds'
me of a picture which I once saw. where ;
a bunch of buzzards wore sitting w th
melancholy mien upon a rail fence
hungrily watching a poor, old, lean
horse over in the pasture and waiting
in the tiopc that lie might soon fall
dead In his tracks.
"But If these friends think that the>
are (roinjr to be able to worry me out
and th<*n hold a wake over my attenu
ated remains I will erive them here a
piece of free and friendly advice. They
had better come prepared for a long
siege. There is a way to handle treason :
even In a Baptist church."
I)p. Kemp Sen?lw CondolfncM.
One of the big points made bv Pr.
Straton was when he read a letter from
! Dr Kemp, whose retirement split the
i church, iu which Pr. Kemp now pastor
of a church In Auckland, New Zealand.,
offered hit sympathy and assured him j
I that the fame clique had Induced T>t (
! MacArthur to request that his name be ,
Strlokon from the calendar as pastor
i emeritus. Tn this letter Dr. Kemp spoke
of "having had such a gruelling myself
! In the same mill" In offering Dr. Straton
^ThV^only alternative to the theory |
1 that Dr MaoArthur's reslKnation from
Ithe Church was Inspired by Jcalmu.y?r
Indelicacy. Dr. Straton said Is that
lie has been grossly deceived and ma
nipulated by tho -people who succeeded
In wrecking Dr. Kemp's pastorate and
who have tried so hard to wreck mine
r>r MacArthur has either violated all
the accepted canons of right relation-,
shtp between pastors, by interfering In a
harmful manner with the work of two
of his successors upon this difficult
field or he has been deceived and used
as a cat spa w by designing people. Any I
one may take either horn of that di
lemma that he may choose. For myself.
1' am charitable enouah to believe that
he has been simply misled.
Threaten* to Tell Simr?.
Pr Straton said he could tell ihe city
lust who the people he referred to were
"I could tell you about the evidence*
of trlcklnes* in handling tne property
Interests of the church, which character
ised some of them." he declared, and
which caused the people utterly to lose,

about their connection with the ?i?lrlit of

into slubmlsslon tn their will. cou'

publication of the fact that Dr Mac
Arthur had applied for his lettersi to

timed attack to Interfere with the re
vival meetings beginning .March 2?.

from Au Quatrieme?exact
ly as it combines them in the
house it decorates.
A Louis Seize bed in gray

painted panels above the
glass and beautiful old
painted wall-panels repeat

A chaise longue in rose
has pillows and coverlet of
silver-shot gray. Old chairs
are covered in needlepoint,
and a reproduction of a
Louis Seize red leather chair
adds a rich spot of color,
while the bed coverlet is a
rich old mauve Louis XV

Armchairs arc covered in
old blue toiles?or copies of
old blue toiles?it matters

give further evidence of the
taste with which Belmaison
decorates.
An Old Mantel
Easily the most interest
ing feature is the grisaille
mantel, made from an old
door with lovely painted
medallions in Eighteenth
Century classic style. New
wood is joined to the old
and painted so exactly like
it that it is impossible to de
tect the difference. The old
over-door panel has been in
serted at the top of an over
mantel mirror to produce a
most satisfying architectural
effect.
