figures, one In white, the other indis-

A NOVELTY FROM COOLIDGE

ALVIN COOLIDGE, governor of Massachusetts and can O vice president, told the young men of Holy College that the right of the church might perish Ii it not for property holders
 This advantage of novelty Christ not property holder His disciples mostly worlngmen little nothing The early church was built up earth the sort of reemen and centuries before the property interest joined When kings and missionaries came n they to do by beliefs which had become dominant with vast majority of their subjects
 Christs conception of property was probably commrnls tic He Galee which farming country and was common till the soil collectively. The Puran who made that experiment also, but foand it not adapted to their needs.
 The church is from its very nature an institution which subordnaes property rights and the property instinct that spiritual worth is to be valued than great riches teaching the church to be at rbued, than to anything ese the circumstance thai spiritual values rated high and property values comparatively low.

CITY COURTS PENALTY WOULD
 BE INADEQUATE
(Continued from Page one.)

(Continued from Page One.)
 This is one of the most aggravated assaults that I have ever heard of," declared the prosecutor in completing his charges. '-Cozza's body bore black and blue marks from the chest almost to the waist. and for "A hours while the man was in straps, it was impossi- ble for doctors to tell whether or not any ribs were broken. There is no doubt but that the assault was com mitted by Lieutenant Bozeman.''
 Judge Frederic A. Bartlett believed sault, to be wn11in the jurisdiction of the City Court, but declared that the punishment which could be admin istered would not be sufficient If the charges were true. Judge Bartlett made a finding of probable cause, and bound the case over to the Sep ten7oer term of the Criminal Court of Common PleaS,s under $200 bonds. While discussing the circumstances of the case with the prosecuting attor- ney and Bozeman's lawyer, Judge Bartlett remarked that he could not see why an officer should have stood by and witnessed the alleged beat i ing without attempting to inter- fere.

 of the Common Pleas Court, although 1 not originally a court of original jur- l 1sdiction, can now handle cases of | this character, through a statute | which was enacted about three years ago.
 This act was passed in order that 1 the docket of the Superior Court | might not be cluttered with cases of
 minor character. The maximum pen
 atty which can be imposed by the | City Court is a fine of S2OO and six
 months in jail. while the Common
 Pleas court can impose a sentence O. l $500 fine and one year in jail. Boze-
 man will face this penalty when ar
 ralgned in September.
 With the disposition of the case in l the City Court, bonds of $2OO which
 were originally supplied by Bozeman. l and which were later attached in a
 civil suit instituted. against him by l Cozza, were released A new bond l Of $2OO was furnished by John Pross of 291 Dover street
