Field Marshal,
9 Years Old, Dies
in Mimic Battle
Bowlder in West Side Lot
Crushes Him as He Leads

Maurice Holloway, nine years old,
had marshalled his army, recruited
from Public School 1872. in a vacant
lot in lS6th Street. just west of ST.

Il came as dozens Of Sunday afternoon
promenaders stopped TO watch the
mimic battle.
As the enemy rushed up fourteen
foot embankment. Maurice, waving his
wooden sword. leaped on top Of large
fat boulder preparatory TO leading the
charge. Beside him stood Donald
Williams. Of 567 West ls6th Street, and
another boy. Just as the charge was
sounded the earth gave way beneath
the boulder. and it started to slide. The
other boys jumped to safety, but Maui
rice remained on the rock as the
enemy fed before its advance.
The boulder, gathering momentum
as it slid, struck the sidewalk, tilted,
hurting Maurice prone in it9 path, and
crushed down with It's ooO-pound
weight on the boys body.
In the excitement OF the battle the
boys did not realize what had hap
pened until woman's scream halted
hostilties. One boy summoned Patrol
man Thomas Gibney, while psssersby
attempted to lift the boulder. Another
boy ran 10 81. Elizabeth's Church. at
Broadway and 18th Street. and sum
moned the Rev. Father Francis 4. Fad
den. Gibney sent call for an am
bulance to the St Lawrence Hospital.
Dr. Schaffer and Father Fadden ar
rived Just as Gibney and other men
had succeeded in raising the boulder.
By this time crowd Of about 600
persons had gathered. and many Of
them knelt or stood with bowed heads
as the priest bent over the boy ard ad-
extreme JUNCTION. DR.. Schafer
then pronounced the boy dead.
Maurice was the only son OF John
Holloway. of 552 West lS6th Street, a
Washington Heights real estate dealer.

P. E. Pope and Rev. McCully came
to Dearfield last week to hold the
quarterly meeting, which was a de-
cided success. On Wednesday they
tramped across the country, and after
seeing such beautiful crops and eating
SO much homegrown food they re-
turned to church at eventide and the
p. E. preached the best sermon Of his
life. He then departed feeling much
uplifted at the outlook for the future.
The pastor remained during the week
and much good was derived thereof.
On Sunday the entire community came
together for a whole day of praise.
Two soul-stirring sermons were
preached by the pastor and one soul
came to cast his lot with US. After
which communion was administered.
A splendid basket dinner was served
on the grounds and the pastor left on
Monday much refreshed and all smiles
over his charge here. AS he leaves his

SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO HOLMES
Evening World Praises Courage Of the
Murdered Police OFFICER.


Honor to the courage and devotion to
duty shown by the Negro policeman,
Robert Holmes. who was shot to death
early on the morning OF Aug. while
pursuing a burglar known to be armed
and desperate.
This city can well afford to pay spe-
cial tribute to the bravery and faithful
ness Of one Of its Negro guardians OF
public safety at moment when In 9th
er parts OF the country white men who
call themselves Americans have been
ready to cast aside law and Justice and
plunge into vicious. insensate, murder
ous persecution Of unoffending citizens
whose skins are black.
New York has felt nothing but dis
gust for such brutal perversions Of true
Americanism. 1t has sympathixed with
the aroused sentiment Of law abiding
Negroes In this city and lately viewed
with understanding and approval the
orderly demonstration by which the
colored people Of New York silently
registered their protest.
Policeman Holmes was shot while
faithfully performing his duty.
For the rest of the country that
means that the city of New York trust
ed a Negro with one Of the most re-
sponsible functions Of its public service
that Of public protection-and 10
proud to report that he gave his life to
show himself wn-thv Of that trust.
