DIR. BUTLER DEMANDS
BANISHMENT OF HATE
President of Columbia Quotes
Gettysburg Address.

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler. president
of Columbia University. speaking last
night at the institutional Synagogue,
81 West 1l6th street. at the dedication
of a tablet to the soldiers of Harlem
who died in the war and in commemora-
ton of Lncoln's Gettysburg address,

which is engraved on the memorial
tablet, and referring TO II as the great
est single contribution to English litera-
ture," DIR. Butler said:
1--WE cannot dedicate ourselves to the
cause for which these men died as long
as the world is full of hate. And we
cannot remove that hate, which is the
barrier. as long as tens of thousands
of men are banding themselves together
for war upon Jews and Catholics or
upon any other religion or race. The
principles upon which this country was
founded are not at the beck and call
of any group, open or secret. We will
not have finished our work till these
hates are put out OF our hearts
Representative Isaac Siegel was chair
man of the meeting. The tablet was
presented by the Thomas jefferson Post

man H. Davis Post, Veterans of For

KILLS BY MISTAKE
AND ENDS OWN LIFE
Radio Man Shoots Close
Friend, Believing Him Card
Game Enemy.

Elmer l.. Godfrey of Orean n. Y, was
shot and killed early yesterday morning
in the Wetz apartment at GA West 12Stn
street by Matthew L. Dodds, who then
committed suicide. The police believe
that the crime was committed in a fit of
insanity brought on by the refusal of
Mrs. Wetz to eject anotherroomer with
whom Dodds had quarreled in a card
game, and that the bullet which killed
Godfrey was intended for this man.
Mrs. Wetz told the police that Dodds
and the other roomer. Teddy Stevenson.
quarreled more than a week ago, and
that ever since that time Dodds has been
trying to induce her to put the man out.
When she refused. she said, he threat
ened to kill everybody and one night
spent an hour in his room sharpening a
knife. Saturday night he became ter
ribly enraged when she said she would
not eject the other man. and she finally
lent him So to get rid Of him.
Dodds then left the house. and Mrs.
Wetz telephoned Godfrey, who had been
Doddss friend for some time, to come
home and quiet the man. But Dodds
got back before Godfrey arrived and
went to MS room, showing Mrs. Welz
revolver and saying: Now I've got
something to shoot with"
Godfrey went to Doddss room when
le reached the house and Dodds began
shooting as soon as he saw the door
begin to open. One of the bullets hit
Godfrey near the heart and Godfrey
staggered into the room.
Now that you've got me-" he said.
"why did you do 1t. Jim?'
He fell to the floor. and Dodds. accord
ing to anothern roomer who ran up the
stairs. looked at the body for mo-
ment and then said:
You know me. 1t was n mistake.
didn't want to get you. Now | am GO
ing to get myself"
He then put the muzZle OF his revolver
in his mouth and pulled the trigger.
Both he and Godfrey were dead when
DR.. McAuliffe arrived from Harlem
Hospital.
Mrs. wetz told the police that Godfrey
came to New York from Olean more than
a year ago. He was "a years old. Dodds

GERMAN SAUSAGE NOW
FRAUD UPON ORIGINAL
Iowa Packer Lays Inferiority
to Lack of Needed Meat.

The old time German sausage, the
"made in Germany" delicacy of great
excellence before the war. is fraud
nowadays. So says a sausage maker of
Iowa, w II. Gehrmann, a meat packer
OF that state, who has returned from a
visit of several months in central Eu-
rope.
The existing German sausage is a
poor imitation of the pre-war article
said Mr.. Gehrmann yesterday. 1T looks
tempting enough. but the food quality is
simply not there. because the sausage
makers have not the meat they need.
Nowhere eles in western or central Eu-
rope is there such a potential meat mar
ket for fats as exists In Germany. The
one thing preventing a tremendous eX-
port business is Germany's inability to
finance her purchases. They are i'm
porting some cheap meat and triumin gs.
but less than a third OF the country's
real needs. Germany is even lacking In
fish. for the once great fishing fleet which
unloaded at Hamburg is diverted 70 Hol-
land and Norway.
Central Europe has nothing 10 teach
the American packer. While plants are
clean and inviting. methods are primi-

ELDER TAYLOR
FIGHTS WITH
BEAR IN HILLS
LOVELAND PASTOR KILLS MON
STER BEAR IN BATTLE
ON LIONEL YMOUNTAIN

ooh, Lawd, if Lou can't help me,
for Heavens sake, don't you help
that bearP
James M. Taylor, pastor of the
First Christian church of Loveland,
has placed the famous old story of the
preacher and the bear" far in the
background. After desperate fight
in lonely mountain retreat west of
Loveland late yesterday afternoon,
Elder Taylor slaughtered the bear.
Friend Nevelle had been hard on
the trail of bruin for hours and was
about to bring it to bay. Elder Tay-
lor had just taken a shot at big
buck deer and wounded it and was
about to give it another broadside,
when the bear came putting along the
trail. There are times when it is
foolish for a man to flee from danger
and this was one of these times, so
Elder Taylor turned his gun upon the
approaching and ferocious animal. He
pulled the trigger The animal keel
ed over, staggered to its feet and dis
appeared behind a huge rock on the
mountain side.
Flushed with victory Elder Taylor
pursued the beast around the rock,
expecting to find it lying dead. Sud-
denly he heard a noise behind him
and Mr.. Bear, frothing and snarling,
maddened by his wound, was almost
upon him. He had beaten the Elder
around the rock.
The coolness of Elder Taylor in the
face of danger probably saved him
from being torn to pieces. He raised
his gun the second time, pulled the
trigger, and Mr.. Bear, shot plumb
through the neck, lay at his feet
Loveland (Colo.)' Herald.
The above will be interesting news
to many Liberal people who remem-
Der Elder James M. Taylor very kind
ly. All will rejoice that the charge
which killed the bear did not go wild
and that Taylor is still among the liv-
ing.
