Rev, DR.. George q. Reid as one Of
the ministers who had gone out from
Ebenezer Baptist Church. He is now
paGtor of Ebenezer Baptist Church,
of Charlottesville, Va.
REV. DR.. REDS TEXT.
Rev. Reid's text was from Ephes
ians 5:27, "That He might present
it to Himself a glorious church, not
having spot or wrinkle, or any such
thing; but that 1t should be holy
and without blemish" What do men
think Of the Christian church today?
What place does 1t hold in modern
society? What does it mean to men
and what is their attitude towards
the church? The church has a glor
ious origin. It was not established
by man, but by jesus Christ. the Son
of God. He Is the maker. Upon this
rock build my church. The church
is glorious because Of its leader.

did not drink. Leaving for home.
he drove for 10 or IL minutes with
out any difficulty. but as he was
driving through Kelsey street car

to act quickly to avoid being struck.
Pulling sharply to the left. he struck

Santucci told of the arrival Of the
motorcycle officers and the incident
in Sergeant Stadler's home. then the
ride to the police station in the pa

him at the desk and had him so
to the detective bureau. where Ser
geants McAvay. McCue. O'Mara
and Ellinger Intercepted him about
the accident. Chief Hart came in
and asked him what happened and
he told him. Then Sergeant Film
ger put him In a cell, where he
stayed for I ia hours despite the
fact that he had q handbook in his
pocket with 800 to his credit.
Denies Being Tested
Nobody put him through any test
whatever. he said, until Sergeant
O'Mara put penny on the floor
and had him pick it up, which he
did. Then the sergeant had him ex-
tend both arms horizontally and
bring them towards each other in
front of him so that his finger tips
touched.
In reply to Attorney Casale. San
tucci said he did not admit to Ser
geant Stadler that he was drunk.
The sergeant did not ask him
whether or not he had been drink
ing. he said. Mr.. Greenstein asked
him no questions and Attorney Ca
sale called Sergeant O'Mara to the
stand.
The sergeant testified that he was
detailed by Lieutenant Bamforth to
SO to Kelsey street and on arrival
he found Sergeant Stadler and Off,
GERS Harper and Doty. so there was
nothing for HIM to do but return to
headquarters, He told Lieutenant
Bamforth that Sergeant Stadler
wanted Santucci charged with driv-
ing while under the influence OF
liquor. He observed that Santucci
was unsteady on his feet as he walk

Nov. sergeant, I'm going to ask
your unbiased opinion, leaving
everything else aside. Attorney
Casale began. but Mr.. Greenstein
interrupted him with: "Oh, he's your

"Oh. he is an officer of the police
department and l don't want to at
tack him." Attorney Casale replica.

Casaie apologized for taking up SO
much time but Judge SAKE remark
ed that no apology was needed, and
he complimented the attorney on
the manner in which he conducted
the case. If this was private citi-

it would have been just one of those
things" began the attorney. bu,
Judge SAKE interrupted to inquire
the meaning of the assertion and
the attorney replied that there was
"a great hullabaloo and publicity
which brought Mr.. Greenstein to his
feet with an emphatic denial of any

pleasant for policemen to come into

CROWD AT OLYMPICS
Throng Just Like World Series Ball Game Assemblies at Amsterdam for Soccer Play yofis Today.

Amsterdam. Holland, June 13 P Crowds that would do credit to q world series baseball game in the United States were massed in front of the Olympic stadium today be- fore the gates were opened for the play-off game for the Olympic soc cer football championship between the Uruguay and Argentina teams.
 Some .3o police stood guard be- fore the numerous gates. Several hundred fans had been standing there since forenoon in the blister ing heat despite the fact they are not even permitted to bring camp chairs nor 10 have a friend relieve them in line. The Olympic commit tee ruled that only one seat may be sold to each applicant who must file directly into the stadium, This was done to prevent scalping which was prevalent at previous gHm"s but it has led to much protest es- pecially by the Dutch Football as sociation which demanded 5,U0o seats on the grounds. it's members being clerks and workers who can not come to the stadium before 5:15 o'clock when presumably there will be no tickets left.
 The rule preventing substitution in the line also was much criticized as it was claimed some of the best football supporters are not physical ly able to stand so long. Many would gladly pay members of the Amsterdam unemployed to stand for them. To this the Olympic con- mittee replies that the practice gives an unfair advantage to the man of means.
