statement VI '"S #. COURTNEY.
New York, Nov. %. 1915"
Bishop Courtney is chairman OF the
Interdcnominational Committee on
Weekday Religious Instruction. Con
sidering the fact that this committee
has been actively engaged IN this work
for some time, the following sentence
from Bishop Courtney's letter should
have particular significance for those
who are interested in the religious
feature Of the Gary plan: There were
two difficulties which had to be raced
one, to defeat any attempts on the part
Of any church to proselytize; the other,
to do nothing whereby the public
school system should be drawn away
from its position of neutrality toward
all religious instruction and both OF
these they think that they have well
in hand"
Testimony from The Bronx.
MADAM: Most of the criticism OF
the religious feature of the Gary sys-
tenn seems to be inspired by the idea
that it is a plan Of the Catholic Church.
"The idea is a mistake. 1t probably
arises from the fact that in Puolc
School 10, The Bronx, where this teat-
ure is being tried out, the principal at
tempt 70 make use of it is being MADE
by Father Caffuzzi, the pastor or the
local Italian Catholic church. AS

movement is easy TO account for. Most

Wirt's arrival in New York 70 take up

classes have been going on for some
time. and are still conducted along for
mer lines for children in his parish
who attend schools other than Public
School As. Mr. Wirt's plan found
Father Caffuzzi in a position 20 accept
the opportunities offered by its new
schedule. and in very BRIEF time he
had perfected an excellent organiza-
ito Other clergymen ought to be
thankful 10 him for showing the posi-
bilities opened to them.
Other Churches Should Take Up Work.
"But, to he frank, | think he made
the mistake of doing IL too well. The
over his work, saw what poor show
ing they could make in comparison IN
the same district, failed to think Of
other districts where conditions would
be the other way, and-well, we are al
of US human. Father CaffuzZi himself
would like to see the other churches
take up the work. He is anxious to do
ANYTHING he can to bring about any
necessary adjustments on harmonious
and jensible lines. Recently he re-
marked TO me that his attention had
been drawn to criticism Of his APP

little flock. He thought, and so did |,
that the objection was picayune,. but
he stated his willingness to etFace him

FOUR CITIES BID
FOR DEMOCRATS
National Committee Meets To-
morroW-May Hear Suf-
fragistS' Arguments.

Washington, Dec. Endorsement
of the work Of the administration and
Of Congress, the selection OF time
and place for the next Democratic
National Convention and the election Of
new treasurer and secretary will
constitute the chief work of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, which
meets here Tuesday morning to make
preparations for the 1916 Presidential
campaign.
Four cities, Chicago, St Louis,
Dallas and San Francisco, are in the
race for the convention. Dallas and
St Louis delegations are here, each
fortified with a 100000 check.
With about half Of the delegates
present to-day, James E. Smith, chair
man Of the St. Louis delegation, claimed
seventeen pledges for his city. The
Dallas contingent is headed by Gov
ernor Ferguson and Mayor Henry d.
Lindsey of Dallas. There are about
seventy-fve in the party including the
mayors of seven Texas cities.
Announcement that the White House
would remain strictly neutral in the
fight caused disappointment among the
Texans, who had hoped for the Presi-
dents support.
Rolla Wells, Of Missouri. treasurer OF
the committee, has informed friends
that, after presenting his report at the
meeting Tuesday, he will resign. be-
cause he has become governor OF the
Federal Reserve Bank in st. Louis.
Thomas j. Pence, of this city, assist

will be elected secretary TO succeed
Joseph E. Davies, Of Wisconsin, VINO

Chairman McCombs has promised a
delegation Of sufragists that he viii

as a foregone conclusion that the COM

WILSON IS UNFAIR.
SAYS TFUTON PARTISAN
Only Outwardly Neutral, De-
claroS George Won SkaI.

President Wilson's attitude toward
the warning powers was attacked by
George Won Skal, former managing ed
itor of the "Staats-Zeitung" and Com
missioner OF Accounts during the Nc
Clellan administration, I'm speech yes
terday before 800 German-Americans in
Terrace Garden, who enthus astically
applauded the statement that Germany
had not received a square deal at Wash
ingtou Mr.. Won SkaPs utterances were
in reply 90 a recent lecture by Oswald
Garrison Willard.
ave believe, and in fact we know.
that the President has not been strictly
fair in the treatment Of the different
governments engaged i'm this war;" said
Mr.. Won Skal, "and we are determined
10 continue 20 oppose him. The Presi-
dent himself may be outwardly neutral,
because his high position forces this
duty, but in his heart he regrets that
he cannot be OF service to the side in
the justice OF whose cause he believes.
ave may as well acknowledge that as
advocates Of an embargo on arms and
ammunition we are trying 20 IN .erfere
In the war In favor of Germany, but
much stronger rs our feeling that as
long as the bclligerents cannot all use
the supplies o. this country none
should be allowed 10 DO so.
THE truth is that IL conditions were
reversed and Germany could draw her
supplies from this country an embargo
would be declared within twenty-four
hours"

INCREASE IN CRIME
SHOWN BY COURTS
Despite Loss of The Bronx, Dis
trict Attorneys Business
Larger than Ever.

Whatever effect the loss Of the
Bronx may have had on the political
complexion Of New York County as
affecting the Office Of District Attor-
ney. It's creation as a separate county
has not diminished the business Of
that Office On the contrary. there has
been marked increase Of criminal
prosecutions in New York County since
The Bronx began administering its own
affairs, on January !. 1914.
A comparison between 1914 and 1913
for the first eleven months shows that
with the loss of Bronx County there
was an increase of 2S3 in the total
number Of cases disposed OF. This was
increased this year to $50, or an in
crease of PSI cases owe 1914. These
arc the figures for the Court of Ger
eral Sessions and the Criminal Branch
Of the Supreme Court In the Court
Of Special Sessions for the trial OF mis-
demeanors only, there has been an ex-
traordinary increase, but this is dee in
greet measure TO an increase in the
number OF laws governing this class Of
crime.
District Attorney-elect Edward
Swami, therefore. faces a term Of Of
fee i'm which the expected normal
criminal business viii far exceed any
thing in past history. His first year,
however. probably will not exceed pre-
yious records. because District Attor-
ney Perkins has taken an axe to the
actions pending"
Judge Swami viii inherit fewer than
526 indictments. There are at present
1873 prisoners in the Tombs This is
the smallest number In several years.
While comparisons since 1910 show a
slight decrease in convictions during
Mr. Perkins's term. this is due to an
unprecedented number of pleas taken
from prisoners awaiting trial
The present District Attorney has
made a record for convictions in homi-
cides exceeding all preceding years.
JOB 1914 there were s,Xty-two convic-
tions, Of which six were for murder in
The FIRST degree During eleven months
Of 1915 there were sixty-seven convic-
mons. and eah of these were for first
degree murder. This number probably
viii be exceeded bv December 81.
The growth Of the work Of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office for six years is
howu by the fact that In 1910 5,9fS
cases were disposed Of while this year
C.755 cases were acted upon.

Bishop Courtney on the Gary Plan.
MADAM: May be allowed 70 set
before the public through the columns
OF your newspaper. and especially be-
fore the Board o. Education. the par
ticular view which hold regarding the
much controverted question Of the
adoption Of new plan or plans for
the teaching Of children IN the public
1 larry known as the Gary and the Ell
finger plans, each Of which provides
that part OF the children shall be out
of the building during a period or pc
RODS OF the schol day. All parties
are agreed that the present practice,
by which no religious instruction is
given in the public schools, shall be
strictly maintained; and nearly all
parties are equally agreed that relig-
ious instruction is the inalienable
right of every child, and that children
so instructed reach maturity better
prepared to exercise the duties of citi-
zenship than those who have been de-
prived OF this right.
AT the present time there are in the
public schools Gin round numbers)
about 100000 children, Of whom about
zoe, 900 receive religious instruction for
about one hour once a week in the Sun
day schools and the remaining 100000
receive little or none.
"All the foregoing promised, repre-
sentatives of various Jewish and Chris
tian churches organized themselves
