that forcer Secretary of the Treasury
 cral Gregory, former Secretary of
 War Garrison and former first Secre- tary of the Interior Lane, served the i Doheny interests-all of them after they had left their official positions, and not before, while it is alleged that former Secretary Fall placed himself under obligation to these interests and brought benefits to them while he was still in his official position.
 The most simple way to get at the absurdity of the comparison is to ask oneself what one would do under sim liar circumstances. Suppose a man is great lawyer. just leaving his posi- ton in the government. Would he be required to refuse to accept a good client merely because he had served the government at considerable finan- cial sacrifice probably, for some time, especially if there is no evidence that the interests he served were asking him to aid in doing anything which would be prejudicial to government interests?
 The attempt to compare the cases of Fall and McAdoo is evidence not of the fairness of men. but rather of the concern felt in the republican ranks over the effect the disclosures concerning the oil contracts will have on the party.
 Of course, as this is written, only an indication of what the laying bare of all facts will disclose has been given. No final judgment may be pass ed upon the acts of any of the men involved. But as it was early seen that the disclosures already brought out in regard to the activities of the repub- lican administration would not help that party any in the approaching election. it may be surmised even now lHdL MT .hNEAuop tliipEpN pS the oil interests proper as it may have been, will not help him in his candidacy for the democratic nomina- ton for the president. This, not be- cause the leaders of the party will recognize any culpability on his part, but rather because the leaders of any party are chary of choosing as a candidate of their party any man stamped with the popular stigma of corporation lawyer''-oil corporation lawyer. especially, at this time. That stamp of corporation lawyer" was Elihu Roots handicap all his life, great as the man is, Add the word "oil'' to it today and the havoc is complete.

POLICEMEN AND TRAFFIC

Included in the recommendations Of Chief Hart to the common council will be the request for ten more po- licemen. This. Of course, would mean an added expense to the city. and Chief Hart is not the sort of official to ask for something involving ex- pense to the taxpayers unless he feels that it is necessary. But the need for these additional officers should bc considered from all points Of view be- fore the request is granted. There can be no doubt but that more policemen will be needed as the city continues 10 grow. and it would be ridiculous to oppose a movement for more officers merely on general principles. But the conditions at the present time may well be considered before granting the additions 10 thc force.
 II is believed that the chief reasons for the desire to have more men on the force is that the school children may have better protection when they leave the schools at noon or in the afternoon. and to perfect traffic rcgu- lation. A request was made 10 the common council at its last session for a traffic officer at East and Dwight streets. by residents of that section whose children attend the school there. As long as these requests come in, so long will the council and the chief feel that they ought to Je granted if possible. but the more off, cers placed 5n trafic duty the fewer there are to properly patrol the city. At the same time there are residents who want better police protection in the outskirts of the city. Ii is moi hard 10 see how difficult it would be to heed both appeals; that pertaining
New Britain herald., 1924-02-02

to the children has the more direct appeal. Certainly no one wants to ad-
 Vocate refusing to do anything that will make their precious lives safer.
 At present, thegnfore, if seems that
 if the traffic matter were more satis-
 factoriy settled. especially i'll neigh
 borhoods where there are schools, there would be less need. for more policemen on the force. If. therefore. the children are to be safeguarded, without increasing the force, the only other way to accomplish this result would be to study tine traffic problem and evolve plan whereby the chil- dren leaving school in crowds would be protected.
 It would seem. possibly. that the discipline exercised over the children in school might be extended bit farther as they leave the building. No matter how many traffic policemen lh'lF dai v upput litt siiV'tS, thiihich will always be in danger as long as they rush out of school in the eager haste characteristic of youth. It would seem that two results might be ac- complished if regulations were adopt ed by the school authorities as to the manner in which they should leave the building. and arrangements made for proper supervision of them. In the first place they would be taught in practical manner the danger of rushing headlong across or into the streets where traffic threatens them, and in the second place they would thus be protected, avoiding the ne cessity of more traffic officers at these points, or at least. making the duty of the traffic officers less difficult. The children should be protected by all means. Perhaps earnest study of the situation might give them better pro- lection. even, than would an addition al traffic officers,

REV. DIR. T. F. BROWN.
Member of First Baptist Church
 Eulogizes Former Pastor.

i Editor, New Britain Herald:
 1 A recent brief notice in your issue of the 29th called attention to the
 death of Dr. T. Edwin Brown, which
 occurred at the home of his daughter
 in Independence, Kansas, on last
 Sunday morning.
 The fact that Dr. Brown was pastor of the First Baptist church in
 this city from 1904 to 1915, period
 of 1 1 years. and that during his pas- torate he endearcd himself to all the Christian people of tho city without regard 10 donominational lines would seem to call for a more extended notice. His pastoral work covered over 5S years--his first church being at Brooklyn, N. Y., his second pas torate at Rochester. N. Y.. his third at Providence. R. l.. his fourth at Franklin, Pa, and his pastoral worl; was finished with the First Baptist church of this city.
 Dr. Brown was a man of rare cul- ture and intellectual attainments. He was close student not only of re- ligious literature but he was thor oughly informed and strongly inter- csted in all secular matter. He had travelled widely both in this country and in Europe and acquired a first class knowledge of conditions both religious and secular on all matters in which thoughtful people arc inter- estod. As a preacher he was both spiritual and practical; he was never sensational and his sermons were al- ways dlgnifed. spiritual and impress siye. The fact that nearly half of his ministry was spent in college towns where hn attained unusual prominence, where his congregations were made up of professional and college men, showed that his preach ing appealed 10 the educated classes and that his ministry in these churches was unusually successful. stamped him as a man of unusual in- tellectual force. But the most strik- ing thing about pr. Brown was his lovableness as a man and his sincere simplicity as friend. Though he lived 10 be well over the four score years. he was as alert mentally when he visited the writer last summer as he was when I first knew him. As an always interesting companion and friends he had few equals. His work in this city included the building of the new church and he retained his membership here until his death. His long life well spent--he has en- tered on his reward. but his influence remains.

WOODROW WILSON'S BATTLES

Former President Woodrow Wilson was still fighting against death as these words are written. Perhaps even before they meet the readers eyes, he will have lost But at the moment he is now for the second time within five years, displaying that courage and mental determination which has been characteristic of him in his greater battle-his fight against the pitifully short sighted theory of some that this country can go on forever standing alone against the world and stifed by lack of idealism, failure to realize the one phase Of selfishness which is fine and splendid-"he profits most who serves best"
 People wondered what strength car ried him through the physical crisis that came to him over four year ago; people are wondering how this man, long weak and i'll, can put up such a courageous fight today. Four years ago he was strengthened by the con- viction within him that he had work 10 do to bring to completion his labor establishing a method for restoring peace to the world for all time. Today he fights brayely that he may be able 10 add his word Of influence to the growing realization that whatever the mechanical faults of his plan. this theory Of world brotherhood must in- crete. The idea that Woodrow Wilson planted in mems hearts years ago, is nearing the time it will bring fruit Whatever criticism may be made Of his plan for permanent peace, it is certain that had it not been for his insistonce on the ideal which has sustained him through the years. the prospect or universal peace, through association with other nations in inter- national understanding, would have been more remote than it is today
 The mans most severe critics have granted that he is an idealist. It is that quality in him that is giving him strength now, bringing a determina- ton to live as long as 1t is possible in order that he may still hold to life in position to add one more word to the unanswerable argument of those who know. beyors question, that peace will not come to the world. here to remain, until the world adopts a method of turning Woodrow Will sons idea into a practical and worka- be thing.
 As the man lies at the point of death men look beyond even their own petty criticisms and see the greatness of him. In that sight they give freely Of their sympathy for him in his physical suffering.

COACH BLACK OF
TECH REMAINS IN
CHARGE OF TEAM
Mueller Assisting in Final
Tourney Drive-NeW Men,
tor Probable Next Year,

According to Principal Stuart of
Technical High School the rumor that
Coach Black had been deposed as bas-
ketball coach is without foundation
and Black will remain as head coach
this season.
Mueller, who coached football and
baseball very successfully, was men
toned as taking over the duties at
once. This is not the case, although
Mueller is assisting in the net coach
ing.
The head coach can ask for assist
ance from other teachers, according
to Principal Stuart, and this is what
has given rise to the story that Mpel-
Ter already had,staken charge of the
METERS. Other teachers also are as
sisting in the final drive toward tour
ney contests.
When asked about next year, Prln-
cipal Stuart said. That's too far off
to make any statements"

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-W1th a re,

newly organized New York boxing
commission landed flush on the whisk.
ers of the well-known Tex Richard.
For failing adequately to notify the
public that George Marks was four
pounds overweight and that the Pan

not involve a championship, Richard
was ordered to accept the penalty of
FORGETTING one fight card at Madison

As things have been going recently
at the Garden, the penalty tossed at
Richard today meant substantially a
fine Of hardly less than $1,000.
Richard was sore today, but not at

were getting him in bad and doing
more tricks to hurt the game.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-For at least

The International League club own
ers concluded a three-day tall. session

That meant that informal proposals
for adoption of modified draft agree

Inasmuch as some OF the other large

opposition to the draft It had been
thought that the International might
also permit the majors to raid their
