RESIDENTIAL SECTION

The Negro population made an
other inroad on the residential sec
tion Of West Harlem by the purchase
of the old New York Presbyterian
Church, occupying plot 100 by 100
street and Seventh avenue.
The church property was taken over
b couple of years ago by the New
York Presbytery and has been on the
market for many months at 100000.
The Metropolitan Baptist Church,
which now occupies a private dwelling
on 138th street, between Lenox and
Seventh avenues, is the buyer, The
Rev. w. w. Brown is pastor. The
colored population has been growing
very rapidly during the last few years
and occupies large portion of the
area north Of 130th street and east
of Seventh avenue. The purchase Of
the church property on the corner of
128th street, however, is the further
est point south they have reached.

"The statement issued by Governor
Cox was gratuitous insult % III
citizens who thought him UNIV rthy Of

sued here tonight by Republican
State Chairman u. M Fullington.
The statement referred to was issued
by Governor Cox from his home il
Dayton the day following the cleo
tion.
"When he says that every disloyal
citizen in Ohio voted against him and
that there was compact on between
them and political leaders opposing
him, he speaks with characteristic in
accuracy, not to use the short and
ugly word. In actuality Governor
Cox ewes his election and his graft
tude in the first instance TO the liquol
interests in Ohio. He owes his sec.
ond debt Of gratitude to his personal
political machine. Whatever tht
faults of Governor Cox may be, ex-
cessive modesty is not to be mum
