County Judge John F. Hylan. in the
furtherance Of his candidacy Tor
Mayor. appeared last night before an
audience at the Brooklyn Training
School for Teachers His speech which
he prepared beforehand and read was
devoted TO an attack on the Gary plan.
The tendency of this so-called Gary
plan" he said, els to give the children
of the poor one kind Of education ana
those of the rich. who can afford to
place their children in private schools
another kind Of education.
Those who are able TO pay will not
tolerate this system, but will send their
children to private schools.
"Ihe Gary school system isa per
petual motion system, which, as | shall
show you. exhausts the child, saps the
vitality, enervates both body and brain,
and leaves the little one unfit for either
mental or physical activity.
1--WE all know that too much bodily or
mental stimulation is harmful-often
positively dangerous. Under the Gary
system the child is stimulated all the
time-the spur is never relaxed. 1t IS

classroom, from classroom to gymna-
SUM, from gymnasium TO auditorium,
and backward and forward again in a
never-ceasing round. like a prisoner on
tresdmill or convict doing the lock-
step in Sing Sing.
Think Of the millions OF dollars al

the Gary system in the metropolis and
which should have been spent in the
construction of new school buildings.
Think Of all the money that has
been wasted -Dreamland, Rockaway

der Charge Holds Evidence
Is Same in Eight Others

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. Mrs.
Rena Mooney, accused Of murder as the
result Of the Preparedness Dag bomb
explosion here July %, 1916, filed a
writ Of habeas corpus IN the District
Court Of Appeals to-day IN an ehort
20 obtain her release from prison.
Mrs. Mooney was tried and acquitted
several weeks ago on one charge OF
murder, but there are eight similar
charges pending. Her attorneys con
tend that the evidence against her IS
practically the same az in the hrst
trial and that her acquittal should
therefore justify release.
Mrs. Mooney was accused Of buying
Nitro, a component Of the explosive
used in the Preparedness Day parade
explosion. Z was also charged she
gave orders to Warren X. Billings 20
proceed to the scene Of the explosion
and Kill the women and children first
The state tried 20 show she was &C
tually present at the placing of the
suitcase containing the bomb.
In her defence Mrs. Moneys coun-
sci brought forward several witnesses

also helped by the shadow thrown on

Street. New York, artist and clubmnn,
lay dying beneath his motor car in the
Shswangunk Mountains, eight miles
from this city, to-day, while his com

hopeless attempts to extricate him. He

Mr.. Wright and Miss Langford start
ed from New York this morning, and
were on their way to Mr. Wright's
country home, in Milford, Penn, where
there are dozen Belgian orphans
whose care Mr.. Wright had assumed.
The artist was driving an imported
car, apparently fresh from the shops,
whose speedometer registered only
eighty-six miles, the distance from New
York to the scene Of the accident.
Machine Skids on Slope
It had been raining and the state
road was slippery. At the point where
the accident occurred, between Otis
VILE and this city, the road traverses
the mountains, It's grades are steep and
forests line both sides. Going down a
steep pitch the machine got beyond his
control skidded and capszed beside the
road.
Miss Langford was flung score OF
feet and arose dazed. Mr.. Wright was
pinned beneath the car. which weighs
more than 5000 pounds. The rain was
beating down, they mad not seen an
other traveller for many miles and not
a house was in sight. The young woman
dragged herself TO the automobile and
began straining futilly.
When she had recovered her senses
she abandoned that effort and did what
she could to relieve Mr.. Wright, moist

Negro Husband Shoots ,

The dynamiting of the house at 1872
Agnes avenue demonstrates that the
same spirit of lawlessness that has
been evidenced toward Colored people
in this city from time to time still
exists. And that there are whites
who would not hesitate to take human
life rather than see Colored people
live in certain communities in this
city. This house had been rented to
VIM. Davis and family, respectable
Colored people, who recently came
here from Atchison, Kansas, and they
had had it cleaned up preparatory
to moving in. But when the repre-
sentatives of the Williams Investment
Co., of 1904 E. Twelfth street, who
had the rental of the property went
out to turn it over to the prospective
occupants, they found the paper had
been torn from the walls, the plaster
ing battered and broken, and the in
terror generally defaced. While dis
cussing the repairs necessary to put
it in shape again they noticed several
white men standing across the street,
menacingly eyeing them, but they paid
no heed to that, went ahead with the
repairs, but that evening Qast Mon
day. several sticks of dynamite were
exploded in the house, shattering all
the windows and doing considerable
damage to the property as well as to
the house adjoining, which is occupied
by white family. Mr.. Davis imme-
diately cancelled his lease and the real
estate company finding such vicious
spirit existing, turned the property
back to its owners, who were white
people. The police are quietly inves-
tigating, but there is little possibility
of any arrests being made.

TO RUSSIA

You were a hundred years behind,
On yesterday | read,
Because strong hands you sought to
bind,
And great souls captive led.
Because the light of learning's flame,
The people were denied.
Because high honor sat with shame,
And justice crucified.
Because Siberia's frozen blight,
A shrine truth was made,
And shone afar with greater light
Than boasted Petrograd.
Because you coined mems precious
blood,
To heap up wealth for kings,
And groveled in the dust where stood,
The god of ancient things.
You were a hundred years behind
What speed Behold, what speed
A nation doth her chains unbind-
A hopeless dream succeed.
From out the ruins of shattered years,
Relieving olden woes,
In the worlds forefront appears
The princess of the SHOWS!
A Negro gazing from the pit
OF pain the New World holds,
EXults to see thy banners lit
With glory in their folds.
And halls thee, Russia, with a song,
'Tis all he has of worth,
And dreams the hour speeds along,
For freedoms larger birth.
That God directs this tide Of war,
For ends that worketh good,
To slay the passions that would mar
The age of brotherhood!

THE soJoURNER TRUTH HOUSE.

THE SOJoURNER TRUTH HOUSE.
On pleasant side street in the Har-
lem District of New York City, oppo-
site the Colored Music School Settle
ment, stands a small, three-storied
house, No. Is West 131st street, that
is flooded with sunshine all day long
and dedicated to the bringing of light
into young lives that have had but
scant supply of it.
Should we enter during the morning
hours, we should usually find the
house empty and quiet, for its in
mates are attending a nearby public
school, but after three o'clock it be-
comes a BEEHIVE of activity. Twelve
little colored girls between ten and
sixteen years of age are at various
household tasks, cooking, cleaning,
sewing, washing and ironing, or sing
ing and playing games, according to
the time of our visit, but in any case,
doing something, under the wise super
vision OF the colored superintendent
and matron, that will fit them, by de-
veloping their embryonic moral and
spiritual natures, to meet later the
struggle of life.
During the short time (ten months)
that ii has been running, the house
having a capacity of twelve girls, thir-
ty-siX have been accomdated; eight
have been placed out in exceptionally
good homes and, are dong well; eleven
have been returned to their families
with prospects of better oversight and
brighter future; while others have
been passed on to such institutions
as seemed best able to cope with their
peculiar needs. The influence of gen.
tie and just discipline does not stop
with the girls, but reaches out, wher-
ever possible, to parents and other rel
atives, often arousing in them a dor
mant natural pride in and affection
for, the child, and leading to improve
ment in family onditions.-Southern
