begging in the streets the wear
around SO that its workers could
devote all of their time and atfen-
tlon to the poor, 1t makes an an

ly | know OF no greater bulwaek
that could be raised against thA
rising tide OF human unrest, than
to strengthen the hands OF this
band OF self-sacrthcng Christian
tolers who have the confidence Of
all men and women, regardless Of
race. creed, color or position in

interests OF our advancing ew.l.za-
non that such a practical and
wholesome work be stimulated
and maintained to the utmost
Poor Always With Us.
They say there are no down
ana cutters any more. Personally
! do not believe it, or If did be-
l,cvc it, would know that the ab-
normal times have swung the pen
duium back too far on one SIDE
and that it will swing far to the
other side directly. There will al
ways be bottom to society. The
poor will always be with as. We
owe it 70 our fellow men to know
orr ne!ghbor and share his
troubles and problems, and only
by that method can we, in all fair
ness and Righteousness, keep the
scales balanced in this life.

[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec, BOA $50, ,o0O,- 900 item for army post permanent construction submitted by the war de- partment and refused by the house ap propriations committee in reporting out the sundry civil supply bill was the initial step in a new army housing project contemplating expenditure of more than $300,o00,000 over period of 10 or 12 years. Details of the scheme, formulated by the general staff. are revealed in testimony taken by the committee and made public to- day
 Tn urging congressional approval of the plan, Secretary Baker recommend . ed that many existing army posts particularly those near large cities be abandoned and sold. the funds to be used in financing the new project He did not. however, submit any list of posts which might be so disposed of MT. Baker said the proposed pro- gram was simply making a star toward a complete change in the whole theory of our army" in line with tho army reorganization.
 In existing permanent posts anC forts, MT. Baker said, there wer, quarters for S0.000 men. as against tn, army strength of 2So.000 authorized At present he added. the troops wer, housed in "perlShable and periShlnt structures at the wartime camp which could not last more than a yea or two longer.

Representative Goo, 1 of Iowa. chairman. said the projec was an example of ambitious and un ! wise schemes proposed hv governmen executives involving expenditure o millions. He said general staff of fieers at the hearings had told Secre tary Baker, who did not know, tha the cost of the project would reac seven or eight hundred millions.
 The country is not in a conditio to authorize such expenditures" Nil ! Good said. and the committee disal lowed the request for money for an l such purpose at the present time"
 Tn justification of the new plan NJ 1 Baker in his testimony before the com mittee said:
 We know now from this war tha 1 quite independently of it's size. tn army would be relatively a useles army if it were kept in outlying post under conditions which obtained prio

 Much speculation prevails among the Italian officers as to the future of D'Annunzio The general opinion ex- pressed is that he will leave Plume and go into exile. D'AnnunZio's last public act was to send out a proclamation complaining of dissension among the Fiumians. He declared they were not the sort of people to fight and die for and denounced them in bitter terms.
 Quarnero bay was quiet yesterday morning when at 9 o'clock the Plume plenipotentiaries sub chaser pulled up to tine quay at Abbazi, where the pre- liminary negotiations were held and where the arriving delegates notified General Ferrario, who commanded the blockad;ng force of Plume, of their ac- ceptanee of the Rapallo pact.

 PROBE IF BUILDING
 TRUST IN NEW YORK
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 = The New York state joint legislative committee, which has yelled the nation with It's remarkable revelations regarding build ing combinations, will be reorganized by the new incoming state legislature and probably will be prepared to con- tinue it's building trust' investigation by the middle of January.
 This announcement was made today by Samuel Untermyer, the committees counsel, at the closing session of the present committee, which goes out of existence with the coming of the new year. Many combinations remain un- investigated, he said. We have a mass of evidence on another phase of our inquiry relating to corporations, banks and trust companies which we hope to~present to the new committee.
 While the committee was spending it's closing hours today hearing testi- mony regarding the activities of the Building Trades Employers associa- ton and the National Association of Building Trades Employees, four addi- tional indictments were returned by a grand jury on evidence growing out of the inquiry. Supreme Court Justice Burr also announced he had refused a change of venue to Robert P. Brindell president of the Building Trades Coun- cil, and his aides, indicted for extor- ton and attempted extortion from the builders. Brindell will go on trial January ,.
 William J. Doran and William H Chapman, two of Brindelps, alleged aides, were named in the indictments handed down today. John T. Hettrick alleged promoter of a number of build | ing rings" and Herbert Smith, presi- | dent of the Master Plumbers assoeia' tion, also were named as defendants All four are charged with violation O | the state anti trust laws.
 The committees inquiry into thu New York Building Trades Employers association was begun with Otto M | EidlitZ, a member of the board Of gov
 ernors, as a witness.

"Old Glory" Drapes Coffin of Gangster Regenerated by War
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Thousands of men and women in various walks of life paid homage to Monk Eastman, murdered gangster- soldier, at his fu neral in Brooklyn today
 Remindful that his record as leader in the east sides gang conflicts had in part been cleansed by his heroic be- havior in the world war, the silent throngs gathered about an undertaker's chapel where his body lay and listened to recitals of the best in his life. Eastman's citizenship, forfeited by his conviction of crime years ago, was re- stored by Governor Smith upon his re- turn from France
 The funeral rites were simple. His soldier comrades of the Twenty sev- enth division were there to honor him as one "regenerated" in the war. They escorted the body to the cemetery to the sound of muffled drums, where last honors were paid by firing squad at the grave and a bugler's notes or "taps"
 The Monk" whose real name was William Delaney, was buried in the uniform of a soldier of Company c, 1O6th infantry, with a victory medal over his heart and two wound stripes on his right sleeve. An American flag was draped OCT the casket
 Two of Eastnfans "buddies" ar ranged his funeral. His platoon lieu tenant attended it with several squads of former comrades. Friends and foes in the old gang feuds which shocked New York 10 and 20 years ago were there with police detectives watching silently for a possible demonstration.
 The dead mans war record was com mended. the singular chronicle of one
 IA.a 6eaF driving intensity of war fervor and earnest patriotism. On a silver plate attached to his coffin, inscribed there by soldier friends, was this. "Our lost pal. Gone but not for gotten"

 ELECTION IS CLAIM
[RepubIican A. P. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Wholesale charges of wiuful discrimination against negroes at the polls in the southern states were made by repre- sentatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- pie today before the house census com mittee and brought forth vigorous ob- jections from committee members rom the South. The committee was con- sidering legislation to re-apportion congressional representation.
 The first charge made by the asso- ciations representatives brought on a storm of denials and additional charges that gathered in volume as the session progressed and reached it's climax at the close with the appearance of q photographer to take group picture Of the committee, including it's south ern members, witnesses and spectators, of whom number were negroes. When Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the organization. declared that the majority of the white popula- ton Of many southern communities were "lawless,n southern members of the committee jumped to their feet.

 Chairman Sfegel interjected to say l that the committee had decided to let witnesses make their statements and members question them afterwards The chairman, however. was ofter forced to call members to order when they protested against letting state ments of witnesses pass unchauenged
 Charges of disfranchisement of ne groes in the South also were made bS tJ. Weldon Johnson, secretary of tht
 association, who said his organization had been formed eleven years ago t6
