Questions MOOsers' Motives
in Open Letter to Colby

The following open letter has been
sent out to former Senator Everett
Colby by Joseph d. Holmes, chair
man of the Citizens Committee of
Fifty of Orange:
my Dear Mr.. Colby--The action of
the Progressive party in placing ward
candidates in nomination in Orange,
and thereby preventing the election of
single Republican to the Common
Council, is my reason for writing to
you.
''The same action, 1t is said. was a
decided hindrance to the election of
reform aldermen In Chicago.
What useful purpose does the Pro-
gressive organization serve by such
actions? And is 1t anything but a
fractional ally Of the Democratic
party?
"Mr. Roosevelt has gone to South
America, leaving the constructive
legislation on the tariff, the currency
and the trusts to be carried out by a
Organized Congress. The only prin-
ciple he leaves for his followers to
fight for seems to be one of attacking
the judiciary for upholding the limita-
tons of the Constitution.
THE Progressive party, as shown
by recent elections, has dwindled to a
mere fragment of the Roosevelt vote,
showing that 1t represents no vital
principle to rally or hold its followers
together.
Are you satisfied with this state
OF things? Are you willing to see the
Congressional and other elections
next fall captured by the Democrats,
by the aid of a party that has no
longer any excuse for existence?
''Is there not some more important
way for you to exercise your influence
and mental powers than In being an
assistant Democrat? Sincerely yours,
(Signed) JOSEPH d. HOLMES"

ANOTHER OUTBREAK
AT MISSION HOUSE
Threatening Crowd Gathers in
Front of South Orange
Building.

Excitement was at a high pitch In
Church street, South Orange. last
night while Rev. David De Forest
Burrell, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain Church, assisted by several
friends, held a meeting In the build
ing at No. 81, that thoroughfare, for
Italians.
Inside the structure with Rev. Mr..
Burrell were creole Sciaraffa, who is
in the employ of the American Bible
Society and has a mission for his
| fellow countrymen in the parish of
| the Elmwood Presbyterian Church,
East Orange; Mrs. Sciaraffa and
their child; two men interested in the
mission, and four other men and a
woman. Outside was a crowd of
about one hundred men, women and
children.
Policeman Patrick Fahey kept q
semblance of order while youngsters
pounded tin cans and wash boilers.
They eluded the policeman when he
attempted to nab them, and the peo-
pie in the mission sang hymns and
listened to a religious talk by Scia-
rata. Rev. Mr.. Burrell several times
walked outside and requested the po-
liceman to keep order, and the meet
ing room door was opened.
The crowd outside finally drew up
to the door and massed themselves
close to the threshold. Once Mr.. Bur-
rell hurried out and called the atten-
ton of Policeman John ]. Matte, who
had relieved Policeman Fahey, to a
man he insisted was making a racket.
The young italian denied the state
ments of the clergyman. Policeman
Matte and reporters nearby agreed
that the fellow did not make any
disturbance.
A general invitation was given for
the outsiders to join the meeting.
None accepted the invitation, how
ever, and at the close OF the service
Sciaraffa offered literature to the men.
who eagerly sought to get the printed
matter. One of the men tore up his
leaflets and hurled them back into the
speakers face. He started a lively
wife joining in the denunciation of the
action OF the crowd.
There was a lively argument out
side for few minutes, in which par
ents protested that the mission folk
were offering children fruit and other
inducements to get them to attend the
services. The big policeman in the
centre OF the excited crowd was kept
busy for minute. but the arguments
were not provocative Oh QlbOTueT anu
the crowd dispersed.
AS Rev. Mr. Burrell and his party
started for South Orange avenue they
were jeered by the crowd, who had
shown their hostility all night, but
there was no further excitement The
newspaper men heard a noise as of a
stone hurled at the little group, which
hit a fence. Mrs. Sciaraffa was heard
to advise her child that they might
get hurt Mr.. Burrell, however. de-
MED that any missile had been
thrown.
The windows of the mission-room
still bore mute evidence OF the at
tack on Friday night, when the angry
crowd bombarded the place. Mud was
spattered on the glass. The Italian
residents have not taken kindly to- the
effort to put the mission In their
midst, and, according to residents in
the neighborhood, last nights demon
stration against the people whom they
accuse of proselytizing was the third
outbreak In a week.
