NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Sen
ator Alexander Simpson,
special deputy attorney-gen-
eraI in the Hall Mills murder
inquiry, today, denied he had
made a statement that Henry
Stevens, brother Of Mrs. Fran
ces Stevens Hall, would not be
arrested.
Watched By Detectives
Henry Stevens is being watched
still by detectives under my or
ders, said Simpson. "The watch
will be maintained. / have never
said, and / have never intimated,
that he will not be arrested.
The statement was made to q
group of reporters who took the
statement as affirming the Sena-
tors intention to take rapid ac-
ton against Stevens.
when will Stevens be arrested
today" asked reporter.
mot today" answered the dy
manic prosecutor a little grimly.
More AIibi Witnesses
Senator Simpson added he would
not consider action against Stevens
or anyone else until the full in
yestigation he is making has been
concluded. He said he had heard
from Sheriff John Grant of Ocean
County that there were two wit
nesseso to Stevens alibi who had
been found.
Senator Simpson said he would
interview these as soon as the Sher.
If requested.
Senator Simpsons highly signl.
ficant statement was made. just
about the time that the town coun.

vote of confidence in Stevens. He

There have been sufficient

by Insurgents, with actual con-
troll vested in . coalition Of

Of whether the Democrats win a

eight weeks hence even the paper
majority of the Republicans viii
disappear.
Lenroot's Defeat q Blow
Analysis today OF the primaries
held thus far made these facts
indisputable.
The defeat Of Senator Lenroot
in Wisconsin, despite his being
singled out for conspicuous per-
sonal Endorsement by President
Coolidge, was a particularly severe
blow.
It virtually insures two insurgent
Senators from Wisconsin in the
SEVENTEEN Congress, La Toilette
and Blaine. Even in the palmy days
of the elder La Toilette there was
always one regular from Wisconsin.
The maximum Republican strength,
on paper, In the next Senate is SIS,
and to have that they must win
every Senatorial election outside of
the Solid South.
But in that So there win be
La Toilette and Blaine OF Wiscon-
sin, Frazier and Nye Of North
Dakota, Howell and Norris of Ne
braska, Brookhart Of Iowa who
vote more often against the White
House than with it.
There are also Borah Of idaho,
Johnson Of California, Norbeck and
McMaster of South Dakota. and
Couzens Of Michigan, who while not
as openly insurgent as the other
group, are very independent in
their voting, and are impervious to
the party whip.
The Democrats are jubilant, for
they believe they can pick up sew
eral seats in November north Of
the Mason-Dixon line.
They point to such spots as
Oregon, where Senator Stanfield,
defeated for denomination in the
Republican primary, has announced
his independent candidacy against
the Republican who defeated him,
Frederick Steiwar.
To the Democrats. as we'll as to
Republican leaders. this spells q
split Republican vote and the prob
able election of Bert e. Haney, a
Democrat, who defied President
Coolidge year ago to Dust him

BUILDING BETTER
RACE RELATIONS
The Origin and Work of the Com
mission on Interracial Cooperation

mission on InterraciaI Cooperation
By R. B. Eleazer
The Commission on Interracial Co.
operation was created shortly after
the Armistice in the hope of Quench-
ing the fires of racial antagonism
which were flaming up at that time
with such deadly menace It's mem
bership was made up of representa-
tive educators, ministers, and buSi-
ness and professional men from all
parts of the South including a num-
ber of outstanding Negroes. Similar
interracial committees were quickly
organized in each southern state and
in hundreds of communities, thus
bringing together the best represent
atives of the two races for counsel
mutual understanding, peace, and
good will
The results fully justified the eff
fort. A better spirit Immediately ap-
peared, distrust and suspicion were
a-layed, many dark situations were
cleared up, and the threatened con-
flagration was averted Unquestion-
ably the agencies set in motion by
the Commission were largely respons-
ible for the favorable change.
The emergency of the moment
having been met, the Commission set
about the task of permanently i'm
proving race relations throughout
the South, by putting them as far
as possible upon a sound, Christian

spirit the correction of grievances.
and the promotion of understanding
and sympathy between the races.
That program is still being carried
forward with constantly widening in
fluence as new agencies are enlisted
and new lines of effort undertaken
Assistance has been rendered in
hundreds of educational enterprises
for Negroes, involving millions of
dollars. health campaigns have been
promoted in every State; hospitals
and tuberculosis camps established,
clinics opened to colored children,
public nurses employee; 1ynchings
have been prevented through the ef-
forts of state and local committees,
and in a few cases members OF
lynching mobs have been success
fully prosecuted and sent to the
penitentiary; legal aid has been ex-
tended to Negroes in scores Of cases
in which they were being intimidat-
ed, prosecuted, or exploited; sewers,
street paving, water, lights, library
facilities, rest rooms and other civic
advantages have been secured for
Negro communities; parks, play
grounds, pools, and other provisions
for recreation have been established;
Negro welfare agencies have been
included in community chests; day
nurseries and social centers conduct
ed; colored probation officers Sc
cured-these are among a multitude
of actual results achieved. In At
lanta, for example, the interracial
committee brought about an agree
ment by which $125O,OOO out of a
single bond issue was expended for
new Negro schools, including a mag
nificent high school, costing 100000.
Perhaps more important still, a
vast amount of educational work has
been done among white people to
promote better understanding and at
titudes on their part. This the Com
mission considers fundamental and
of primary Importance. Close con-
facts have been maintained with the
great church groups through repre-
sentatives on the Commission, by the
presentation of the interracial mes
sage to conventions, conferences,
SynOds, and the like, and through the
church press. Thousands of local
church groups have been encouraged
to study the subject Courses on
race relations are being conducted in
sixty southern white colleges, be-
sides many voluntary classes and dis
cussion groups. The subject has

a survey of the street railway situa-
tion. | like the idea that this sur
vey is to cost the people of this
city nothing l favor the plan of let

last detail before the primaries, not
afterward. l am in favor of the plan
of the Mayor and Commissioner
Boehmer to rehabilitate and modern
ize the street railway system with
out increasing taxes and, if possible,
without increasing fares

pie decide whether they want a mu-
nicipally owned and operated street

plan for raising the money to secure
this rehabilitation or not
