TWO NEGRO BURGLARS.
They Are Thought to Be Leaders of an
 Organized Gang.

New charges are being added daily to the list of those against Henry Easley and Lee Hall, two negroes, who are un- der arrest on a charge of burglary and grand larceny. They were arrested by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton and Policemen Disheroon and Mcdonald.
 The two negroes are supposed to be leaders of a gang that has been break ing into offices in the business portion of the city and stealing guns, pistols and clothing. Much of the stolen prop erty has been recovered by the officers, and they expect to recover more.
 The negroes made a speciality of break ing into Money loan offices. These in- cluded the offices of the Bullard Loan company on Second avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets: Ed wards loan office on Nineteenth street, between Second and Third avenues. and Venable's office on Third avenue, be tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets.

L. & N. WILL MOVE TO
 BOYLES NEXT SUNDAY

When you get to the bottom of it., this contribution of slO0,O0O to the Amerl- can board of foreign missions is made for the purpose of padlocking the mouths of Congregational ministers throughout the country said the Rev. Dr. John w.. Stagg, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. yesterday, in commenting on the methods and policies of the Rockefeller Rogers people
 The question, in the last analysis" said Dr. Stagg, lis not whether the money given to the Christian church is clean or unelean. l hold that it is per- fectly proper for the church of Christ to accept so-called unclean money when the money is given in the proper spirit and for proper purposes.
 Every Sunday this so-called unclean' money is dropped into collection boxes of almost every church throughout the country; but it is given with the view not of perpetuating, but of atoning for sins committed by the giver; it is given in a spirit of penltenee
 ''In the course of my ministry have accepted in the effort to build church. iAoAi WohhSn WHO 0du DNeQ lives of sinfulness, but who made their offer ing in truly contrite spirit. I believe that these women, soul-soiled though trey may have been at one time, were washed white as snow and became through their repentance, interiors of the Kingdom of God.
 There is no analogy between accepting gifts made by the penitent sinner and ac- cepting gifts offered by the impenitent sinner
 The Rockefeller Rogers people express no regret, evince no remorse regarding their conduct. They evlnee no remorse and express no regret. for the reason that they feel none. They feel none for the reason that their consciences have been so scared that they are insensible to ap- peals of right and righteousness.
 They literally glory in the system they have built up and are operating.
 The purpose of their gifts is to win to their side-to get the sympathy and sup port of-persons who, by reason of their

 "Such men must be silenced, say the Rockefeller people; they must be gagged with gold.
 Several years ago John D. Rockefeller Sr.. stated that we were living in an age that demanded strong men for leadership, but that modern social and industrial conditions required that the great ma iority of persons should learn to accept modest positions in life and be content to remain in them. Recently his son told the students oi Brown university as Dr. Hills of Brooklyn recently pointed out, that the American beauty rose was per fected only by shipping off 99s clustering buds. His inference was that in order to have the ripe fruit of American civil ization-the trust magnate-it is necessa- ry to put to death industrially 999 small business men.
 .'The views of Rockefeller the father. supplemented by those of Rockefeller the son. complete the vicious circle of the systems ethics. Compressed into one word this code of ethics spells-'slavery. It is slavery of the body, slavery of the mind, slavery of the soul
 'I hold that the press the bar, the university and the pulpit should treat these men and their methods with lofty disdain. To accept their money and at the same time to commend or to be silent upon their deeds is, l hold, mex pressibly infamous.
 "The university that does thls is not a seat of learning seeking truth for truth s sake and for truths sake alone. It is an abomination in the eyes of God and man.
 '.,rhe bar that does it becomes not a fountain of justice, but a cesspool of iniquity.
 "The newspaper that does 1t prostitutes its influence and becomes steneh in the nostrils of decent readers.
 The church that does 1t renounces the teachings of Moses and of Jesus and pil- lories itself before the world as an ob- jeet of ineffable contempt"

POLICE COMMISSIONER
 EXPRESSED HIS VIEWS

"The commission has been too lenient with the policeman who drink We have elected a number of new men and we have had to try one or more policemen for drunkenness at every session for five months. We are reaping the usual har- vest when people are too lenient with an offender.
 ''I believe that they should be dls- missed the first time. Out of the kind leaned toward leniency and 1 think ad- vantage is being taken of that fact The policemen who get drunk are no credit to the commission,It the city of Bir- mingham or to the police department

I believe they ought to be dismissed. However, l voted with you tonight, and I regret it already.

A burglar broke into the residence of K. W. Hinton. 6O5 North Twenty-second street, early yesterday morning and ran sacked the entire house from top to bot tom. He secured watch and some money.
 The burglar seemed to have taken things easy, for he had plenty of time to open a couple of bottles of beer and drink them. He found them in the re- frigerator. He tore things up generally over the entire place, spread the con- tents of drawers all over the floor and threw things about promiscuously.
