FROM
STATEN ISLAND
Rev. WIIbert Westcott De-
lights Mems Society of First
Presbyterian Church.
PROBLEMS DESCRIBED

Rev. Wilbert Westcott, pastor of
Bethel NJ e. church, of Tottenville,
gave an interesting address before
the Mems Society of the First Pres
byterian church at their monthly
meeting held in the chapel last night.
Mr.. Westcott, who is a speaker OF
rare ability, spoke on the subject OF
"Old Problems for the New Year.
He spoke at length on the labor and
capital problem, in which he de-
scribed some of the unreasonable
tasks required of employees. Mr..
Westcott spoke of the problems OF
temperance and gave a striking ex-
ample of man from Tottenville,
with $24, his two weeks wages, who
came to this city to buy shoes for his
boys and, after two nights and day,
came home with six cents in his
pockets and no shoes.
In mentioning the problems of the
church he gave his experiences while
attending a colored camp meeting at
Sandy Ground, near Pleasant Plains,
at which they sold all kinds of
fancy articles He told one of the
elders that lie did not think it right
to sell those things, except at a ba-
zar. The elder replied that the only
difference was that they had preach
ing with the bazar, and at Mr.. West
colts church they didn't.
At the close of the meeting a vote
of thanks was given to the speaker
At the business session the matter
Of the Joint debate between the
Mems Club of Simpson church and
the Mems Society was taken up.
A committee was also appointed to
assist the carpet committee of the
Christian Endeavor Society. After

WILL GO BACK
TO OLD RULES
Republican Majority in Cau-
Gus Today Decide to Kill
"RuIe of Twenty"
SLAP AT THE NEW IDEA
Special By United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
Trenton, Jan. 11:-There will be
no twenty rule" In the assembly
this session under which twenty
members may sign petition and get
from any committee bill which the
committee has voted not to report.
The house republicans held a con-
ference before the session today and,
though six assemblymen opposed
taking such action, the majority
voted to repeal the rules. This will
put the house back on the old rule,
where it will take the majority Of
thirty-one members to vote bill out
Of committee.
The republicans who opposed the
repeal were Assemblymen Nichols, of
Cumberland, the lone "independ-
ent"; Vredenburgh, Of Monmouth;
Moore, of Passaic; Pierce, of Union;
Smalley, of Somerset; and Crosby,
of Ocean. They insisted that such
action should not be taken. There
was a spirited discussion, it is said,
and finally the six voted with the
others and the conference action was
unanimous.
hS oSnOCi ats OppOSeu the G6pedl
of the rule, claiming that the major
ity was to go back to old-time bill
smothering tactics. The minority
wanted the rule amended so that fif-
teen members could get bill out,
but the republicans put their policy
through.
The twenty rule was the result
of the New Idea opposition to kill
ing bills in committee, and with no
New Idea members here this session
it was easy to abrogate the rule.

 Following so closely upon the re- cent honors given Fisher when he was the only negro speaker for his race during the Theodore Parker memorial exercises in Chicago, this last honor is especially significant as pointing to future for the Pine Bluff Negro that will mean much for him and his race.

 They Did Lose Championship.

The members of the Camden High School football team, or a good DOT ton of them, spent Sunday ill Little Rock after playing Fort Smith a 63 game in Conway Saturday afternoon and while they were bit disappoint- ed in failing to win the champion ship, admitted they did not expect to play Fort Smith so close a game. It must be said to the credit of the Cam den squad, that it played a wonderful game, displaying team work superior to that of the Fort Smith eleven, had men who could get through and break up plays, and also used more specta- cular plays to their credit than did the Bordef C'ty eleven Camden has some men who will be stars i'll university circles in few years, though Fort Smith was not without it's stars. Had the Fort Smith team warmed up to the work ill the first quarter like it did the fourth, the score might have been different. Fort Smith is to get the cup. without pro- test, it being clearly demonstrated there were no ringers on the team' all being home boys and bonifide students of the school, Camden played steadier game than Fort Smith, the Border City team appar- ently being lost on foreign grounds

Attorney Alex II. Powell has re- turned from Washington. D. C., where he appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commiss on in the case of the Imperial Wheel Works against the St, Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company, in which the wheel company of this city seeks to compel the railroad to connect q spur track With it's railroad line.
 The petition filed before the Inter- state Commerce Court asks that a physical connection be made with a spur of the wheel company and the defendants railroad. The Iron Mountain has for two years refused to make the connection unless the Imperial Wheel Works would S gn a contract agreeing to be responsible for all damages done while the rail- road company's rolling stock was on the spur track and also be liable for any fires resulting from sparks from
 
 their engines. The president of the Imperial Wheel Works, whose head quarters are at Flint. Michigan, flat ly refused to sign such an agreement declaring that his company did not want to assume the negligence of the railroad company or it's employees,
 The spur track was built two years ago and the Wheel company has been compelled during that period to pay ont S1 zoo annually as extra charges for cars furnished to it by the Iron Mountain railroad, but transferred to its spur track by the Cotton Belt' which company connected US Hue
