VANDAL THROWS BRICK
THROUGH GOULD WINDOW
Police Respond by Score, but Fail to Find Man, who
Had Called to Obtain Loan

New York, Feb. E.-Somebody, stand
ing on the pavement outside Of Miss
Helen GouIds house at 579 Fifth ave-
nue., cast a brickbat through the win
dow of Miss Gould's library just before
dinner time tonight Miss Gould's COM
panion, Mrs. Edward Scholes, who was
waiting for dinner to be announced, was
spending the time reading in the center
of the room and almost in line with the
winuow. The brick did not hit her, but
it came near enough to give her some
thing of scare.
Glass from the window Uttered the
floor, though the damage didn't amount
to much, except for the value of the
window.
Police Arrive in Hurry.
Miss Could. who was upstairs with a
niece and nephew, children under ten
years old, came running downstairs to
see what had happened. The crash was
loud enough to be heard through the
house. and the butler came also.
Word was sent to the East Fifty-frst
street station. and policemen came by
the dozen. Capt O'Connor got a man
there within three minutes. and others
came pell-meu In taxicabs and on foot,
some of them from the detective bureau
downtown. In a few minutes there were
twenty OF them busy searching for some
body who looked like prick thrower
They didn't find him.
Miss Gould remembered that her butler

was told by the secretary OF
one of the charitable institutions
of New York that it cost them
from 20 to 25 per cent to raise
funds for their institution.
The habit has been heretofore
among charitable organizations
to employ canvassers, issue book
lets, and send circulars broad
cast in order to raise money to
carry on their work.
All of this is very costly, and
a very slow method to attain the
ends they seek.

organizations and to suggest that
Contributions could be sent to
certain officials?
Advertising would certainly
prove, in the long run, to be less
costly, and infinitely MORE Eff
FECTIVE, than the old-time
method of securing donations by
personal solicitation or by circu-
lars.
Instead of the percentage OF
cost of donations running up to
25 per cent, as is now the case, it
would be lessened through ad-
vertising to 5 or 10 per cent.
This lessening of cost would
not be brought about in min
ute-the advertising would have
to appear REGULARLY each
week to make any impression on
the public.
This suggestion is respectfully
submitted to heads of the diff
ferent charitable organizations
throughout the United States.
State your aims and purposes
and ask for what you want
through ADVERTISING IN
NEWSPAPERS that reach the
home, and you will get what you
ask for.

MAN Is DESIGNATED
CHOLERA CARRIER
Steerage Passenger Held in
Quarantine Three Months.

ottawa, Feb. 17.-Said Gottlieb, the
Russian steerage passenger on the
Royal George who was found to be
suffering with Asiatic cholera last No
vember, when that ship arrived at Que
bee from Bristol, England, with 500
passengers, is still in quarantine at the
Quebec quarantine station, Crosse Isle.
At that time the entire ships COM
pany were sent to quarantine, and
cabin and steerage passengers alike re-
mained in quarantine for nearly two
weeks.
In the Canadian senate to-day in re-
sponse to questions asked of the govern
ment, it developed that Said Gottlieb is
still detained at Crosse Isle. and he is on
the verge OF madness as a result Of his
months of seclusion-
The government was asked IL a ninety
day quarantine in the depth OF winter
was not longer than necessary. The gov
ernment's answer was that Gottlieb is a
cholera carrier and that he is still full
of cholera bacteria, and menace to the
public health. 1t is the first case OF a
man being officially characterized as a
cholera carrier in this country.

her that a man was downstairs who had
an engagement with her. She asked
what he looked like and the butlertsaid
he looked poor, but had pleasant way
of speaking.
Called the Butler Names.
Miss Gould told the butler, however,
that she had no engagement and didn't
want to see the caller. She put him down
in the class of those who want a loan,
and she believes it is not proper to give
money without knowing the kind OF per-
son one gives 1t to. So the butler went
downstairs and told the caller that Miss
Gould could not see him. When the man
learned that Miss Gould was not coming
down he called the butler names and went
away.

MASONRY LAUDED
BY RABBI SIMON
Inspires One Million Men, He
Tells Large Audience.
BEST DOCTRINES SELECTED
Fraternity, Strongly Knit Rover
of Ethical and Social Service,
Takes Its Place Among Healthy
Forces, Doing Work for Worlds
Happiness, He Says in Tribute.

Because Masonry selects the best OF
the doctrines of all religious and phil
osophies for its basic principles, and
because it brings together the beliefs
of the East and West, of the Christian
and of the Jew, Rabbi Abram Simon
lauded the cause in an address last
night before an audience which packed
Eighth Street Temple.
"A movement however, which com
mands the enthusiasm of 100000 in
teIIgent men in the United States,
which can win their loyalty and inspire
them to ethical endeavor and moral
earnestness, has a very strong claim
upon the appreciation of every civil
izing agency said DR.. Simon. Nine
thousand men in the District of Colum-
bia, no small army of -peace-workers-
form a unit of spiritual and philan-
thropic strength that needs to be reck-
oned with.
Does Work of World.
Masonry, as a strongly knit power of
ethical and social service, takes its place
among the healthy forces which are doing
the worlds work for the worlds happi-
ness.
'Masonrys growth is to-day favored by
the increase of popular education, the
spread OF democracy, the Hberalizing
spirit Of science, the enlarging circle of
fraternity, and the onward march of toll
Grafton in church, state. and society in
general. Masonry can thus come into its
own. To-day it has the opportunity of its
career.
Masonry is not religion, and it does
not claim to be considered one; but any
statement to the effect that it is irreli-
gious or even unreligi0us is a palpable
error, and can only be the result of mis-
understanding and ignorance.
No AntagOnism Asked.
Masonry is not a competing cult; it
is distinct, yet not separate from re-
lgion. The fields wherein religion and
Masonry ply their respective vocations
call for no antagonism on the part of
either Masonry by its constitution can
not do the work of religion. Religion by
its very constitution is not expected to
play the role of a secret ethical society.
The highest charity is not aims, but
justice to neighbors, appreciation OF 9TH
ers' attitude, and pride in others prog
ress. The highest charity is respect for
character. In its development let re-
ligion and Masonry be in the forefront" d"

Whenever there is the induce

to flock to the farm. Years ago
this country wanted men to engage
in manufacturing. We were worry
ing that America did not manufac-

were staying with the farm. The
government did not start men out
among those farmers preaching to
them the advantages of the city and
of manufacturing. No, the govern
ment simply made an inducement
for people to move to the city, by
tariff, by legislation.
