After Mr.. Moran's refusal TO conduct

POLICE HONOR DEAD
At MEMORIAL HERE
Courage and Loyalty Of Blue
coats Praised in Father
Healy's Tribute.

Honor to the last years dead OF the
Police Department, including those who
met death in the line Of duty and those
who died from natural causes, was paid
at the observance OF solemn high mass
in the Church OF ST. Vincent Ferrer'
Lexington avenue and Sixty-sixth street,
Yesterday. Five hundred uniformed
members OF the force marched to the
service from the East Sixty-seventh
street station.
The policemen entered the church led
by inspectors Henry and O'Brien. In
the audience were members OF the Police
Veterans Association, widows or de-
ceased members Of the force, and wives
and relatives Of the uniformed men. In
the sanctuary sat the Right Rev. John
McNicholas, Q. p, Bishop OF Duluth. In
front of the altar was catafalque COW
cred with the American flag. The mass
was celebrated by Chaplain Coogah OF
the Police Department.
The Very Rev. J. II. Healy. o. p. Su-
perior Of the Dominican Order and pastor
Of the church. delivering the sermon
spoke Of the heroism and courage that
are daily eXacted of the policemen. He
yentured the estimate that the proper
ton of dead In the Police Department In
the line OF civil duty would be greater
than the death toll on the fields Of
Flanders in proportion
The speaker then praised the vice cru
SADIE against the higher ups" He said {:
ITO break UP vice and villa!ny In high
places requires courage of another sort.
Every police officer who does it knows
he IL a marked man, and that every effo-t
will be made TO sway him from his duty
by brides and threats. But fortunately
the number who fall are very few. The
multitude applaud the work Of the officer
In attacking the smaller fry in vice. but
stand aghast and begin to Willy when
the man who is clothed apparently in
responsibility is named as connected

Judge John c. Knox signed writ OF

was presented to him by Miss Caroline
Lowe, a Chicago attorney. at the Repub-
lican Clubs Lincoln dinner at the WAL
dorf- Astoria. 1t Is returnable to-day In
the United States District court.
The writ was presented for the court
signature after a day OF activity among

attended by Seymour Stedman OF Chi

trial on a charge of violating the espi-

Reed the Rev Norman Thomas and
Mrs Ella Reede Bloor.
II was decided to leave methods OF
aiding the Ellis Island prisoners to Miss
Lowe. associated with Charles Recht
and Sidney r. F1eisher, New York
lawyers.
The lawyers for the prisoners used a
list OF names given out for publication
by acting Commissioner of 1mmigra-
ton Uhl. The Commissioner on Tuesday
refused Miss Lowe permission to see
the prisoners on the ground that she had
no credentials as counsel for any one OF
them.
Judge Knox signed the writ as a mat
ter OK routine. The names OF the 1--WE
prisoners omitted from the writ could
not be learned. The writ Is unusual In
providing for argument on Its return
without the production Of the prisoners
in court.
After the Park Avenue Hotel meeting
Mr.. Stedman said: II think that II the
Government would open the door and
allow people to return to Russia there
would be a larger exodus than most
people imagine"
The Rev. Mr.. Thomas said that It had
been the feeling OF those at the meeting
that It was a mistaken theory OF demo-
cratic government that permitted the
Secretary OF Labor to pass sentences
OF deportation against people for express
ing their opinions.

Ellis Island can accommodate 1000 OF

Weimar, Feb. 10.--Germany may

Immediately create chaotic condi-
tions. Germany thus not only would
be unable to pay any indemnities, but
in belief of government officials,
would menace the rest of Europe
with the threat of the Spartacan
movement spreading. This condition,
some Germans argue, would be no
worse than the Commercial slavery
they foresee from the peace settle
ment.
The mental attitude Of the mill
tary class in Germany has developed
during the last two months from one
of absolute depression to defiance
and general condemnation of the en-
tente. A change has been wrought, 1t
it is said, by lack of sympathy in en-
tente countries for the present eco
nomic. social and political conditions
in Germany.
Germans who still retain old mill
taristic ideals are confident that IN
case the government should turn the
country over to the Spartacans, the
allies would not attempt to occupy
