TRIBUTE ID PLATT BY REV. KLINGbERG
Deceased Had Been Supporter Of
 Childfen's Home

One of the most generous Aeart- ed souls I have ever known. always ready to help those in need, always ready to defend anything he thought was right and to support it to th-. limit, but at the same time one who never sought glory for his accom- plishments."
 Thus spoke Rev. Dr. John E. klingberg. superintendent of the Children's home which had enjoyed the support of Howard Lee Platt since its orga nization. Mir. Platt died in New York city yesterday.
 He was instrumental in organiz ing the home and his financial as- sistance has been d great aid to the institution in it's progress. Mir. King berg said today.
 In 1905 he asked Rev. Dr. kling- berg to call at his home on Grove Hill. It vs at that time that Mir. Platt suggested that children's home building be constructed. He asked pr. Klingberg if the latter had any site in mind and Dr. Kling- berg said he believed kackliffe Heights would be a good place.
 They visited the place and MT. Platt assured the owners that he vas ready to back Dr. klingbers financially. The first plot of Ian was purchased by pr. kingbcrg. but when it was found too small for the needs Of the home, Mir. Platt con- tributed S500 and with s25O given by the late Mrs. Sarah Strong the land was purchased.
 At that time Mir. Pratt was about 9 years of age. For the past 24 years he has been paying for the winters supply of coal at the hom. an item which involves an expendi- ture of approximately S1.5o0 an nually.
 Children al the home have formed a great love for the man who has done so much for them but who was satisfied to stay in the background and according to Dr. klingberg. a vacancy has been made which will be hard to All.
 Funeral services will be held to- morrow afternoon at o'clock at the home of his father, Frederick G Platt of 32 Grove Hill. Burial will be private. A request has been made that floral offerings be omitted. Rev. Theodore Ainsworth Greene. pastor Of the First Congregational church. will be in charge of the services an l will be assisted by Rev Henry w. Maier. pastor emeritus of the church.

ROOT WITH BRITAIN IN COURT DISPUTE
(Continued from First Page)
pulsory arbitration clause of the 1 world court Question Ilfs.lar rcd Ont

pulSOIy dIbllIatlOH Cldust Ol lHt world court
 Question Declared Out
 Henri Fromageot, French jurist. expressed the opinion that it would be a great mistake either to adopt Sir Cecil's viens or reject them com pletely. He f. that the question was not within the purview of the commission. He also larked that all the British dominions might want to have the right to be represented 10. the bench if the court should be considering such broad question as the freedom of the seas tNspite the fact that an English judge al ready was q the bench. T., thought this would be going too far. On the other hand if Sir Cecil's claim should be rejected. it might for example, prevent Australia being represented ed if the court were considering the question of fisheries which was im- portant to that dominion.
 Arnold Rae: l of Norway agreed with the substances of Sir Cecil's contention as he thought the court s statutes and the league covenant it. self recognized the dominions as separate entities. Nevertheless he recommended adjournment of the question.
 The Japc' re and German dele gates felt that the question was out side of 70 r'"ndate of the commits sion and the jurists then voted not to take official cognizance of the problem. but to put all the remarks in the minut $.
 Root Expresses Views
 Throughout the discussion Elhu Root, American delegate, remained silent, but when all was over he said
 "Mr. Chairman. l just want to say this: The United States has recog- nized the separate international per sonality of the British ominions by receiving from. and acccrediting to. the Irish Free State and Canada minister rlenipotcntiaries."

SIGNED IN PROTEST AT jim
CROW .-.-. =.

New York, Dec. 13.-Congratula-
tions and praise have been telegraph
ed by the National Association For
the Advancement of Colored People
to Rev. Adelbert j. Helm, OF De.
troit, who resigned as pastor of the
Bethel Evangelical Church, aud Or
vile Drummer, who resigned as Di-
rector Of Education, in protest
against the barring Of Negroes from
church membership.
The telegram sent Rev. Mr.. Helm,
by Walter White, acting secretary of
the N. A. A. c. P, reads as follow:
II have just read your letter of
resignation as pastor of the Bethel
Evangelical Church in protest
against the exclusion from member
ship of two Negroes, It is impossi-
BILE for me adequately to express my
admiration for your courageous
deed. Few men, in the Christian
church, placed in your position,
would have dared place ideals, prin-
ciples and high ethical standards
above expediency. 1t is the church,
whose Christianity cannot surmount
the color line, who will be the loser.
You have proved that you believe
the Christianity which you preach,
which sadly is true of but few in the
Christian church. May your act
serve as example and inspiration to
others that they, too, may have the
courage to combat vicious race pre-
judice."

partook with relish Of this delicious
dinner and to whom, of course, the sit
ting posture of the East was native.
Then we went into the "theater" and
there, in course of time, we saw first
class show, given altogether by the
stewards. It was a revelation to me to
find that my bath boy was the leading
actor, doing heavy roles and comic
turns with equal facility. In fact, these
japanese are natural actors. The
stewards last night fell into their rem
ditions without the slightest suggestion
of consciousness. Their makeup was
of course in the Japanese style, which
is somewhat strange to our eyes. Their
costumes and properties were better
than in the average American amateur
show. The program consisted of two
historical plays, a comedy, farcical
dialogue, a solo on the harmonica, two
turns of extraordinarily clever jug
glery' or legerdemain by the chief off,
Ger Of the ship-the only one on the
program not of the steward force-and
finally a dance by six performers, one
of whom was the bath boy, and three
musicians a performance that would
go strong ION Broadway"
While to our Western ears the dia-
logue was not understandable, the act
ing was perfectly clear and evident
And though we missed the points, We
heartily enjoyed the zest of the Jap
anese audience. It was q first-class
show.
