The Publicity Bill Once More.

In nay last letter | told of the bril-
liant part that young Mr.. Robinson of
Arkansas played in the debate Oh the
bill to prevent corporations from con-
tributing to political campaign funds,
and now | propose to tell somewhat of
the brilliant part played by another
congressional youngSter. William T.
HardWick-of Georgia. III fact. it was
a great day for the youngsters. Hard
wick. who is Il slender, youthful look
ing. mild hammered young man. fear

Keifer of Chic. once, speaker of the
house. a nam built on Il very generous

doing great credit to the role OF David
and getting decidedly the better Of the
ex-spcaker. If Hardwick's manners
are mild. his tongue cuts like Il two
edged sword. He is only thirty-four
years old. though he is closing his sec
ond term in congress. having been
elected for another. | wish | had
room for Hard wick's entire speech.
Among other things. he said:
The provision is. 1T shall also be IN
lawful for any corporation whatever to
make a money contribution in connection
with any election at which presidential
and vice presidential electors or a repre-
sentative in congress is to be voted for.
Well, now, | Will say that We clearly have
the right to make laws applicable to the
government of all corporations. so far as
contributions to elections for electors for
president and vice president and mem
bers of congress are concerned. ana that
is all that this bill provides as 10 that
character of corporations
But. Mr.. Speaker arose not particu-
larry to defend this bill because it needs
no defense from this side OF the chamber
nor from that. Every honest man in This
country is for it. and | doubt very much
whether any Republican OF Democrat can
safely afford to face his constituency in
opposition to it, but | do say this: That
an effort ought TO be made to get from
the committee the bill to regulate the
question of individual as We'll as COR
porate contributions and to provide ior
publicity of all contributions ana / am
very much surprised that we have not
given that subject proper consideration.
The president himself at the last session
of congress recommended a measure Of
that kind. but he has virtually abandoned
that position in this message However
he has recommended the passage OF this
bill and | assume that all my Republican
friends will vote for it for that reason
and as it is based on good Democratic
principles the Democrats will support it.
The president has progressed IL great
deal since the last election. lie was
charged, in express terms. by the Demo
cratic candidate with having received
contributions from corporations. and with

the Japs some day is certain if we are
idiots enough to retain the Philippines,

CAN'T AGREE ON A NEWCHURCH
VESTRY OF ST. THOM ASS DIVIDED
AS TO THE COST.

One Faction Would Spend q MILLION or So
while the Others say That HAN That's
Enough and would Give the Rest 20
Missions WIN stay on fffth Avenue
The members OF the vestry Of 81. Thomas's
Church. at Fifth venue and Fifty-third
street. are almost equally divided over the
future Of their church. Almost exactly
two years ago the church burned with prac-
tically all Of its valuable contents. A little
later there was erected within the walls
that were left a temporary frame structure.
now used for public worship.
The division In the vestry is over what
shall be lone about the new church. One
element, which ia understood to include
the rector, the Rev. DR.. Ernest Nj. Stires,
favors the erection on the present or some
site in the same locality of a building that
snail cost 81 900, 900. or maybe more, and
be a striKing addition to the city archi-
lecture.
The conservative element demurs on the
ground that such expense is not necessary.
st. Thomas1s gave last year S1.7i to others
for every 81 it expended upon its own place
OF worship, and the conservative wing OF
the vestry desires to keep up that record.
Its view is that a church costing $500 900
or th~ereabouts ia good enough. and that il
more money can be raised the extra amount
should go to missions at home or abroad
1t had been expected that a decision regard
ing plans might he reached before the sum-
mer, but the two parties in the vestry were
so evenly divided that the whole matter
goes over until the fall.
A difficulty even more serious than the
style Of the church confronts the vestry,
however. il Ia said. II is in regard e. the
place OF worship during the year or so
which will be required 10 put up the new
building. Those who know the congrega-
ton declare il cannot be held together in
Carnegie Hall or other similar place. At
any rate there is grave reluctance to risk
il. There are also strong objections on the
part of many to the use of a hall. When
the temporary church was constructed az
a cost OF more than $50 non il was believed
that the new church might he built around
IL. while il continued to be occupied. Now
IL is said that that plan is not feasible.
For a time there was serious discussion
about the purchase of property nearly op-
posite. with the idea of building on il. keep
ing the old property until the new was in
readiness. Part Of that site has now been
sold and the plan is no longer considered
practicable. Search has been made in
intersecting streets as far north as Fifty
ninth street, and even IN Madison avenue,
for a suitable site. IL in NOT considered
practicable TO go above the lower end OF
Central Park. Residee parish boundaries
are fairly well adhered to in the Episcopal
Church. and st. Thonas's. with all of its
influence. IL compelled to remain within ito
field. or seek permission to remove alto
gther. There is reluctance to ave Fifth
avenue, despite the encroachments oi
business. and there is no likelihood OF such
a change.

Noah. II years old. a ~schoolboy. were
arrested AZ the South Ferry station of the
elevated railroad AZ ! o'clock yesterday
morning under circumstances which Magis-
trate Daniel r.. Finn in the Tombs police
court later denounced as terrible and
outrageous"
They had been up in Harlem visiting
friends. They got on an elevated train

TO a Second avenue train. which would
take them close to their home. 'Passe myers
are permitted TO make such a transfer

Herman Webster Of 496 East Sixty-ninth
street, a platform guard. testified that he
had approached young Breslau, who was
walking up and down on the far end of the
platform, and asked him why he did not
take a train and go home. He say Breelau
told him he would take a train when he
got ready, and they had a fight. Webster
said the father then Joined in, sticking the

Young Breslau said they were merely
waiting for a Second avenue train. thar
