Lutherans Celebrate Anniversary

Lutherans have just celebrated the
quarter millennial of the founding OF
the Oldest Lutheran parish In America
This occurred In 1864. and was made
possible through the breadth of Gov
ernor Richard Nicolls of New York.
During Dutch occupation of New York,
and the reign Of the Dutch church, per-
secution had been the rule. and Luther
ans who then were chiefly Dutch, not
German. were denied permission to es-
tablish a place OF worship. Appeal to
Holland to send over a missionary were
unheeded. Finally the English arrived
In New Amsterdam. as New York was
then known. and administered 10 the
Dutch church much the same treatment
that church had administered to the
Lutherans. Freedom of worship fol-
lowed and the oldest Lutheran church

Rabbi Hirsch in Chicago and Rabbi

EXPECT WOODS TO

Friends of Mayor See No Reason
for Further Delay in Police
Department.

Announcement Of the appointment OF
Arthur Woods as Police Commissioner
10 succeed Douglas ]. Mckay will be
made by Mayor Mitchell upon his re-
turn from Atlantic City to-day At
least most Of his friends said yester-
day they saw no reason for postponing
the announcement. They said there
was only a remote possibility that the
Mayor would change his mind.
When the announcement Of Commits
sioner McKay's resignation 10 take
effect not later than April 10 was made
Mayor Mitchell said he would give out
the name Of his successor as soon as
he was picked, but he probably would
not take office until April 10.
There seems TO be much uncertainty
as TO who will succeed Mr. Woods as
secretary to the Mayor. Many are
sure Theodore Rousseau, the executive
secretary. will land 1t and that Bert
ram Cruger will move up from assis-
tant secretary However there was a
report yesterday that man would be
brought in from the outside.
The truth is Mayor Mitchell has not
decided upon the reorganization Of his
personal staff and probably will not
do so for a week. That is the reason
ne wishes Mckay TO stick until next
week
