10000 READY TO AID
POLICE IN EMERGENCY
Plans for Citizens Reserve
system Completed.

With the work of the Police Depart
ment's Committee on Preparedness and
Subsistence practically completed,
Commissioner Woods yesterday found
ii necessary TO assign sergeant and
two patrolmen to assist Inspector
Henry Cohen in smoothing the rough
spots Of the system.
The system was originally formed to
look after the fast-growing citizens
reserve, made up Of men who have sig
nifed their willingness to do police
work il the regular police were called
upon TO do militia duty.
Inspector Cohen, working under the
supervision Of Chief Inspector Schmitt-.
berger, having finished the citizens
reserve system, has now completed
plans which make it possible for the
Commissioner to have at various reser-
voirs, subways and public buildings
about 10000 men experienced IN the
work of maintaining peace within an
hour.
The Commissioner has also increased
the guard on the Queensborough Bridge
bv six patrolmen. The bridge passes
over valuable waterfront property on
the Long Island side and offers a direct
road TO and from the island.

thing that did not cause m eruption Of
laughter from the balcony, and the con-
fusion was increased by the Kisses and
shouts Of "Shut up" that ran through
the rest Of the house.
Emelia saved the situation, and for
the first time in the history OF
"Othello" ran away with the act. When
she entered the bedchamber after the
murder Of her mistress the actress rose
TO an emotional height that would have
gained the same thunderous applause
that greeted her speech IN any sophis-
tcated Broadway theatre.
Actors Almost Letter Perfect.
With the exception OF Brabantio's
temporary stage fright in the first act
the actors gave their lines without a
slim. In spite OF the fact that the play
ers are amateurs, the "Othello" they
presented was by no means an amateur
performance, and there were moments,
such as the drinking scene IN the sec
ond act and one Of Othello's long
speeches in the fourth, when even the
most supercilious critic would have for
gotten to find fault.
The production is n distinct achieve
ment Of the colored race, and IL Har-
lem can only cultivate taste for
Shakespeare during the two weeks that
il will run the ambition Of the courage
Gus Mr.. Wright, who has gathered to-
gether and trained the cast, will be ful-
filed. He will be able TO play Othello
at the head of his own company in an
extended tour through the cities where
there are theatres for the colored race.

WELLS COLLEGE NEEDS ROOM
Applicants Must BE Turned Away
Unless Fund Is Raised.

Wells College, one of the oldest in
stitutions in the United States for the
higher training Of women. faces the
necessity of being forced 10 close It's
doors against scores of applicants un-
less the public comes to its financial
assistance Immediately. With 100000
pledged by the General Education
Board in case the college can raise
100000 more, the trustees have
launched campaign that must bring
about the desired results by June 10
next.
Henry Wells founded the college in
1868. Ii is built by the shore of Lake
Cayuga, and is twenty-seven miles from
the institution founded by Ezra Cor
nell.
Since the death of Henry Wells the
income of the college has been subject
to an increasingly greater strain
Among the factors contributing 20 the
need for more money are the increased
salaries that must be paid teachers, the
doubling of the number Of students and
the necessity of renewing the equip
ment of the plant. Facing dehclt, the
trustees economiZed as far as was pos
sible without impairing the usefulness
Of the institution and still found the
income inadequate. p,
This year" declares Miss Emily
Hickman, OF the faculty. "the country
is unbounded in its prosperity and the
college rightfully appeals for gifts.
Nowhere in the educational system is
there to-day greater pressure for IN
creased facilities than in our women's
colleges, for womeh's education Is eyl-
IDENTIFY entering upon new stage IN its
history. All the women's colleges are
full to overflowing. In this state Vas
sar has a long waiting list; Cornell is
housing its women outside OF college
dormitories; Wells each fall has TO
turn away applicants. Early this year
this college has a list of students de-
string to enter next year double the
number that will go out this June.

INSTITUTE QUOTES WILSON
Report on "New Freedom Says lie
Praised Organization.

President Wilson, Justice Hughes and
other statesmen whose commentator
is looked upon as highly desirable by
any institution, are quoted IS pralsing
the work Of the Peoples Institution IN
the eighteenth annual report OF the or
ganization, issued yesterday.
President Wilson is quoted as saying
that the privilege Of speaking At Coop
er Union was one of the valuable les
sons of his life. He spoke Of the
variety of classes, races and creeds
represented by the audience, and that
some of the most pointed questions put
TO him at the conclusion of his address,
"The New Freedom" were put by men
wearing the poorest clothes. Inc
growth of the organization was de-
scribed in these paragraphs OF the
report:
"The institute is becoming in many
ways national in its scope. We are
daily called upon to answer questions
upon which we are regarded as expert
from cities throughout the country. We
are growing steadily as a clearing
house for social information.
"The Peoples Institute exists as an
agency working for civic education and
for the growth of a larger life for
the people. The strongest argument
for its continuance is that il does its
work from year to year entirely sup
ported by voluntary contributions.
ave have organized many activities
which have later become separate IN
stitutions supported by their own eff
forts and governed by their own boards.
at is the opinion of the executive
staff that, measured in work accom-
plished, the institute has never had so
successful a season as the one Just
completed"

cepted the Premiership.
"Yunan lin which the uprising start
ed and Kweichow provinces undoubt-
edly will fall in line with the reor-
ganized government" Tuan Chi-jui de-
clared. "Tsai 40 (the rebel leader is
very reasonable. Kwang-tung is the
only province in which fighting is now
going on"
In reply to question regarding the
respective powers Of the President and
the new Cabinet, the Premier said:
China now has responsible Cabinet
and Premier Full power lies in their
hands, not in those OF the President.
The Cabinet will move outside the pal
ace grounds, and only matters of the
greatest Importance will be referred to
the President for discussion"

PETER AGED WAITER, DEAD
Hans Peterson Served Mrs. Grover
Cleveland Before Her Marriage.

Hans Peterson, known 20 thousands
of visitors to New York as Peter,
waiter of the old school," dropped dead
yesterday morning at Thirty-frst Street
and Eighth Avenue while on his way to
the Hotel Wolcott, West Thirty-first
Street.
For twenty-five years he was a ia
miliar figure at the old Gilsey House.
He went 20 the Wolcott when il opened
in 1904, and. although nearly seventy
five years old, continued 20 manage the
Palm Room Restaurant. He waited on
three generations in several families.
At the Gilsey House he always served
Mrs. Grover Cleveland before her first
marriage, and waited on her as Mrs.
Preston at the Wolcott. One OF the
proudest moments in his career came a
year ago, when the garndson of the
Danish nobleman in whose household
he had been employed as butler came
to the hotel to talk over old times.
He leaves wife and three daughters
at 342 West Thirtieth Street.

OSBORNE CASE GOES OVER
Trial Postponed Indefinitely Awaiting
Higher Court Ruling.

The trial Of Thomas Mott Osborne,
which was to come up yesterday, has
been postponed indefinitely because
District Attorney Weeks, Of Westches-

late Division for writ TO prevent Jus
tire Platt from signing an order strik-
ing the immortality count from the IN
dictment for neglect of duty.
NJ. ]. Tierney, of counsel for Mr. Os-
borne, in pleading for immediate trial.
said: "This application for writ has
nothing to do with the merits Of the
case. We want to be tried on the
other three counts Of the Indictment
"Mr. Tierney is getting humorous"
said Assistant District Attorney Fallon.
"He knows we cannot go TO trial on
half an indictment. We want 70 try
him on the sixth count, and if the APP
pellate Division upholds our contention
we will be ready to 60 TO trial"
Justice Platt said he would not take
the matter out Of the hands of the Ap-
pellate Division, and the trial went over
the term. The extra panel of $50 tales
men were also excused for the term.

New-York tribune., 1916-04-25

The immortal Bard of Avon would
have been considerably startled last
night if his shade had happened to
hover over the Lafayette Theatre. in
the centre Of Harlem's negro section.
In all the three centuries in which
Shakespeare has been played there has
probably never been more remarkable
production Of the tragedy of "Othello"
than this first performance by negro
players before a big audience of their
own race.
In the first place. the drama was
produced after only two weeks Of re-
hearsal by a company of persons who
had never acted before in their lives.
The PLAYERS were. on the whole, as
tonishngly capable, and the perform
ance, considering the difficulties that
faced the actors, needed little charity
on the part of the critic. 1t was the
audience, unfortunately, that failed TO
live up TO Shakespeare. Most of them,
having never seen or read the play, had
very little idea of what it was all
about. and they were only too ready to
gggle when they should have wept.
Iago as Comedian.
Edward Wright, as 0thello, was for
midable enough in appearance to hold
his audience until the fatal bedroom
scene in the last act, but John II. RAM
sey had seen fit to adorn his lago with
fuzzy wig with long, curling locks
and an absurd mustache. From behind
the erect was rather like the Tapping
ears Of a Newfoundland dog. Naturally,
il was too much for the gravity OF the
audience, who mistook him at the out
set for the comedian.
lagos rather humorous appearance
and the quavering voice of rayIshing
Desdemona added just enough of COM
edy 10 spoil the serious scenes. The
audience, which had grown up on the
vaudeville shows produced at the La
fayette before it took its present fiier
into the legitimate, could hardly be
blamed for thinking that The bloody
fight between Cassie and Roderigo was
something TO laugh at, for though both
of them died as nobly as they could
they were obviously unaccustomed to II.
When Desdemona lay in her four
poster waiting to be murdered by her
iiege lord the scene struck the audience
somehow as irresistibly funny. Shake
speare was given to punnlng even IN
his most tragic scenes, but on this oc-
casion. when Othello remarked, in a
voice that would have awakened any
body else but the lady who was waiting
to be strangled, Put out the light!
Put out the light! III put out your
light" the yell that greeted this SIM
pie jest would have shamed an Eliza
bethan audience.
Laughter Spoils Scenes.
During the rest Of that act the un-
fortunate actor was unable TO say any

Calvary Baptist's Minister Calls
Watered Roll Of 1900 Ecclesi-

The Rev. DR.. Joseph W. Kemp. pastor
Of Calvary Baptist Church, who once
resigned his pulpit as the result Of diff
ferences over an investigation OF the
conduct of a member Of the board OF
trustees, but was persuaded 70 recon
slider it, startled members OF the church

names out Of a total Of about $500.
81 will not be the pastor Of a paper

nouncement.
lie explained that he had taken the
action because the members dropped
were not sufficiently active in the
church and did not attend regularly.
He said that 10 keep on the member

DR.. Kemp came 20 Calvary Church.
one of the oldest and most prominent
of the Baptist faith in the city, about a
year ago from Scotland. On his arrival
he said he intended to make Calvary
a centre Of Gospel power for the whole
city, home for young people. The
time had passed. he said, when church
plant might be used only two or three
days each week.
A division Of the congregation arose
in May, 1915, when DR.. Kemp was called
TO Calvary from a church in Edin-
burgh, Scotland. There was vigorous
opposition 20 him because he was not
an American. So strong was the oppo-
sition that it was urged at the cleo
ton that the church had not money
enough to pay his salary. This argu-
ment was met with the disclosure that
$4,000 in banknotes. offered By per-
son not a member Of the church, lay
on the table as guarantee Of the
salary.
