day School Rooms.

Sunday was a red letter day for the
membership Of the local Christian
Church. The beautiful newly i'm
proved auditorium was thrown open
to the public and 1t is indeed one of
the most attractive church audito-
RUINS in the state.
The improvements that have been
made include a new hardwood floor,
new electric lights, newly frescoed
ceiling and walls and new baptistry.
The improvements cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and while all the
work Is not yet completed, the cost of
all has been figured in this total
amount.
On Sunday morning the members
of the church were asked to make con-
tributlons to the improvement fund
and the total cost of all improvements,
completed and underway, was sub
scribed save probably s40O which will
be raised as soon as all of the COM
mittees who have been working
among the members make their final
report.
After most of the money was raised
Sunday morning, the statement was
made that the officers had voted to
build Sunday School building at the
rear of the church If the church voted
and the members endorsed the action
of the official board and therefore
some effort will be made in the ncxt
year to gather the funds necessary fol
this addition.

by the striking coal miners which re-
veal further profit they seek from
a FIVE day week. If, for example, such
an emergency arises as would require
a production of coal larger than could
be mined by one shift working six

The Voters Spoke to Murphy in
Language He Understands.

The head of the Republican ticket,
Major LA GUARDIA, seems to have car
ried the Greater City---the city which
gave a plurality of 25s,OOO to the
Democrat SMITH only a year ago.
The voters Of the First judicial
district have rebuked MURPHY IN the
most telling way by giving the most
votes to NEwBURaER, who was put
aside by the Tammany boss, and the
fewest to UNTEBMYER, MURPHY's per-
sonal candidate. Not only does NEW
BURGER remain on the bench but
Major McCooK, his colleague on the
Republican ticket, is also elected q
Justice Of the Supreme Court.

from the wreck two Of its favorites

gates Court and EDWARD f. BOYLE
President of the Borough Of Manhat.
tan all of MURPHY's cup is not vine

professional qualifications for the
offices they sought were not denied
The Democratic voters picked and
chose; no UNTERMYER for them.
Brooklyn has repudiated the Demo

borough Boss MCCooEY had no Gov
ernor SMITH to inject new life into
the ticket. MURPHY very adroitly
took advantage Of the Governors

making popular Democrat part OF
the local campaign he perhaps saved
FOLEY and BOYLE.
The analyst can read in the elec
tlon figures for Manhattan and The
Bronx the revolt of an intelligent
electorate against an attempt to play
with the courts. In Brooklyn, ant
In the city at large, he can read va
rlous signs Of dissatisfaction, not onl,

SPEEDWAY HOPES FADE.
Uptown Folks Wonder when They
VIII BE Able to Use the Drive.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN---sir. What
provision has been made In the new
budget for putting our expenslvely con-
structed Speedway In proper condition
for use by the general public7
This u q question which is agltating
the minds Of people In Harlem, Wash
ingtoh Heights and Inwood. who have
seen no official announcement that the
matter has been adequately covered In
the budget and have therefore been led
to believe that nothing at all has been
done about II and that the prospects OF
an early opening Of renovated Speed
way have faded away In thin air.
The situation takes on a rather dis
couraging aspect when It is recalled that
some months ago the Park Commissioner
was credited with having said that the
Speedway would not be opened until late
In 1920. And its opening then was con-
tlngent on his request for funds for re-
pairing the Speedway through an issue
OF corporate stock amounting to $s83.4o0
being acted on favorably by the Board
OF Estimate and the Finance and Bud.
get Committee and a concurrent resolu-
tion by the Board of Aldermen.
Any one who has had occasion to use
the Speedway recently will agree with
the Park Commissioner that II is In such
bad condition at the present time that
It is unfit TO be opened to the general
public. And II would also be dan.
gerous and probably expensive proceed.
Ing to open IT, for in case of accident
the city would be liable for any injury
to persons or property.
No New Yorker and especially non,
living in the vicinity of the Speedway
cares to have the city assume any un'
necessary liabilities. but when It is con
sidered that the Speedway cost approx
mately $6.0o0,ooo to build and many
thousands to maintain, taxpayers appeal
justified In demanding a return for theil
money. CIVIC.

MOUND BUILDERS TOMB.
Evidences Of Prehistoric Culture
Found In Ohio Excavations.

From the Popular Nechdnios Aaaarins.
Digging into the tomb Of mound
builder chief near Newark. Ohio. scien-
lists recently discovered ancient trinkets
which they declare establish the fact
that the stone age inhabitants Of the
locality belonged to the same tribe
whose earth monuments are found in
other parts OF the State, notably Ross
county. where similar research work
has disclosed surprising evidence Of pre-
historic culture.
The sepulchre is located near the flint
quarries from which aborigines obtained
material for arrow heads and other i'm
plements. It Ia made of small stones
and buried in a circular mound of earth
about thirteen feet high. The chiefs 5
skeleton indicated that he was a man
nearly six feet tall and over average
weight.
Underneath the bones was found what
is considered the most important article
taken from the excavation. a copper
gorget, believed to have been n token
OF authority or rank. Other objects OF
interest were copper earrings, an armle;
Of the same material and beads made
from sea shells. which evidently had
been worn as a necklace.

consideration was a rank usurpation
Of the rights Of the people.
But this act of usurpation, IL It be
such. is no more offensive to free
people-to the people of democracy
than would be the assumption Of
the United States Senate to ratify or
to refuse to ratify the Wilson League
covenant. The business Of concluding
peace with Germany should be sepa-
rated from the League with a broad
axe, IL there is no better way, and
thus be disposed of independently Of
the covenant.
Fortunately, a Presidential election
is near at hand, and no tribunal short
of the vote of the whole country is
adequate for the decision of ques-
tion Of the surprising, the supreme
importance Of this.
Therefore, before 1t gets strangle
hold on the nation, the covenant
should be, referred to the people Of the
country themselves to decide what
they wish done with 1t, and we may
be sure that their decision would be
the decision they wish to have pre-
vail, and, better, the right decision.
