NO HOUSE MOVING
COMMISSIONER BOOK TO.
STOP BL0CKADES.
Tells Clinton Hill Improvement Asso,
citation He Will Oppose Permits
Where Damage May Result.

Commissioner Frank ]. Book. of the
Board of Works, promised the members
Of the Clinton Hill Improvement Associa-
lion at their meeting last night that IN
the future no more permits would be is
sued to property owners to move houses
where 1t would be necessary to take the
buildings across car tracks or in cases
where wires would have to come down.
He stated that he had already notified
General Superintendent of Works Charles
Shipman to that effect.
The commissioner added that the matter
would be brought up at the meeting of
the Board of Works Thursday.
This statement was made after several
of the members protested against the oo
curHence of last Sunday, when a house
wandered" into Clinton venue in the
morning. and after the electric, telephone
and telegraph wires were cut was finally
boosted off the avenue, the car service
having been crippled the better part of the
day.
Nathan Meyer said that il Mr.. Boelts
orders were enforced 1t would be a grave
injustice to property owners who had
houses too valuable to tear down and de-
sired TO move them, In the course OF his
remarks he caused considerable merriment
by admitting that he was architect for the
owner of the house which caused so much
trouble and discomfort to the Clinton Hill
ers last Sunday.
The association went on record AS in
dorsing the stand taken by Mr.. Book and
will, if necessary. aid him.

ON CONNELL'S PLANT
NO FAVORlTISM SHOWN AS
TO CHIEF.
Police Commissioner Bladder So Assures.
Harrigan Doesn't Believe Detec-
tice Broke Loose.

The public utterance OF Sergeant Thomas
F. Cornell. of police headquarters. that he
will be a candidate for the office of chief
of police when Chief corbitt decides to re-
tire, was discussed considerably last night
and today, both by his superiors and by
the men of the department. Mainly they
agreed with Cornell that every man in the
department ought to have an equal chance
for the position Of chief Of police when that
office is vacant.
President John A. Bladder said today that
he thought each and every man should be
given an equal show, and as far as he
and his fellow-members is concerned, they
have 1t. He said he had not read Sergeant
Connell's statement. He said that one man
qualified to be chief should have as much
chance as the other when there might be
an opening.
Commissioner William Harrigan said he
would not believe that Sergeant Cornell
made such a statement as credited to him.
Al don't believe that Connell is the sort
Of man who would go around telling news
paper men how good a policeman he Is"
said HarrigGn.
Commissioner Harrlgan was asked what
he thought of promotions In the polieed e
partment and how they should be obtained.
He said that a man with a good record
and who is deserving of promotion should
get 1t.
In the rank and file those who have no
political pull say that Council is right
when he declares that one man should
have as much show as another. Men
friendly to Cornell think that his public
criticism Of police promotions will not help
him any.

An unidentified man was found dead in

II was first believed to be a case of sui

All that Mr.. Lefkowitz knows of the
man is that he registered as "Jankowitz.

was then shown to his room. That was
the last seen of him alive.
When the police investigated the case
today they could find no money or papers

MONEY GREED
THE REV. w. H.. P. FAUMCE
TALKS OF MlLLl0NAIRES.
In Address to Presbyterian Union, He
Declares Happiness and Millions
Do Not Go Together.

The Rev. William H. P. Fannce was
the principal speaker at the eighty
first annual reception of the Presby-
terrain Union in the Park Presbyterian
Church last night, speaking on the
subject of THE Function of the Lay
men to the Church"
DIR. Faupce is president of Brown
University, and was a former pastor
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church
of New York.
DR.. Faunce told of the necessity of
laymen aiding in church work. He
told of the confessions made him by
a millionaire. who said that practi-
cally all the esthetic pleasures he for
merly enjoyed had gone because of
devoting all his mind and energies to
money-making. He named no one, but
many believed he was referring to
Rockefeller. who is a member of the
New York church. In part the noted
educator said:
"A church which exalts the laity win
be a very different church from one
which restricts the laity,'' said the coll
lege president. There is nowadays too
much of a tendency to put the power

Three decades ago the laymen were
veritable pillars in the church. The
modern business man is of a some
what different type. He does better
business, but we ask ourselves IL he
has not become a narrower man. You
cannot afford to give up all your life
to money-making. Are you not willing

schools to the school commissioner and
your religious duty to the preacher?
If you do you will suffer, and the
church will suffer.
Another thing we need to explain to
men is that executive power is needed
in the modern church. Many men have
no active part in the church because they
really see very little for them to do.
III twenty young men presented them
selves at your church and said they
wanted to 60 to work, what would YOU
say? Most of the churches that l know

more people do not go to church. We heal
people saying religion is losing its hold oil
men. Strong men will not be long contenf
just to come to church and recite creeds
but If they feel it is a headquarters To-
