THAT TREE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.The gen
tleman who some years ago war
bled pathetically:
''Woodman spare that tree,
Touch not single bough,"
might have pulled his stuff with
more success if he'd had the sort
of gray matter that the women
exhibit out in Shrewsbury, N. j.,
and said it with ice cream.
The dear ladies out In Shrews.
bury have one Of three ancient
and condemned sycamore trees
yesterday. They formed q ring
around the trees while they
talked the woodchoppers into
dropping their axes and goine
over to the drugstore for q choC.
olate sundae. Then, while the
ice cream was going where al
good ice cream goes, some Of the
other irate citizens got to the
board Of freeholders over In
Freehold and one Of the trees
was ordered spared.
The woodchoppers didn't care
they'd eaten too much ice
cream to do any more chopping
and so they called it q day.
The trees, dating back to the
Revolution, were ordered destroyed
as a menace to traffic, despite
the organized protest of practi
cally the whole of Shrewsbury.

when there were l,05l, the mum.
ber Of Jewish children who came
officially before the Juvenile
Court in 1914 was 81, gradually
dropping year by year, to- lS, to
21, to Is, II and finally last
year to IA. In other words, the
So-called Jewish Juvenile delin-
quency Is scarcely hall of one
per cent.
Crime Decreases
I'm the National Training
school for boys out of a total Of
4s5, there are today three of our
faith. Despite the trebling of the
Jewish population Juvenile delin.
quency among olr people has not
only not fncreased-it has definite
" and irnpressively decreased, and
its record is q most complimentary
one to us. For this proud achieve
rnent, at least so far as the last
five years are concerned, I be-
heve that the Jewish Community
Center merits the largest share
Of credit.
It have the statistics before me
with reference to the penal ia.
Stitutions known as state, county
and the city of New York. N
the state prisons Of New VYork,
where the Jewish state popula.
ton would justify q l6.l per cent
Of criminality, the Jewish per
centage was actually 1O.4 per
cent. In the penal institutions of
the city of New York, where the
Jewish city population would
call for 81 per cent proportion of
,criminalfty according to its pop.
ulation, we actually find that
there was but 1913 per cent Of
Jewish offenders.
"I held in my hand four graphs
prepared by the Bureau Of Jewish
Social Research. containing ii
colunanar forms the population 81
Jewish, non-Jewish (white) and
colored in the correctional insti.
tutions Of the City and State of
New York. Here again In the
decade from 1915 to 1925, where
the war days Of 1915 found q sit.
llation quite appalling. the Jewish
column Of delinquency in Juvenile
Court and in State institutions has
been dropping and dropping year
by year. IF this picture is true
Of such q city as New York, it viii
prove all the more encouraging II
contrssted with other large cities
and with the thousands Of smaller
towns.

buL IN oruer 20 cnnch my argu-
ment / am not afraid to give the
figures in the United States Peni-
tentiarieS where crimes of the
most hideous nature are registered.
Again, say that am not proud
Of the number of Jews incarce-
rated therein, but I declare that
the exact statistics do not reveal
larger percentage than the Jew
ish population would expect.
IF the Jews of the United States
number about three and a half
million in a total population of
about one hundred and twenty
million, the Jewish percent should
be about three. And that is what
we regret to find in two peniten-
taries.
+ There were received in Atlanta
Penitentiary in 1928, 149 Jews out
of total Of 1921; in Leavenworth,
20 out of q total of 2,581, in NC
Neil Island, ~ out Of a total of
SIS. in Chilicothe Reform for per-
sons from the ages Of IL to 80, IL
were received out Of total OF
400.
"In other words, the percentage
is too large in Atlanta, but not so
in the others. Remember, so !
have been informed by high au-
thority, there Is a practice Of call
ing every one from Eastern El-
rope and the Balkans, whatever
his religion "a jew"
And remember that in most In
stances the psychology and social
and mental natures of these Grim
inals have been warped by eco
nomic pressure and social Unequal
ity, and thus we are seeing the
baneful results In the second gen.
Grafton Of previous Russian and
Polish prosecutions.
"In other words, / have the
moral right to declare that there
is no such thing as a Jewish crime
wave. There are no Jewish or
Catholic or Protestant criminals
as such: they are all Americans, OF
Jewish, Catholic or Protestant
cornmunions. Their fall from
grace is not due to their religion
Their sins should not be fastened
on their church affiliations.
Cannot Blame Church
"rhe church and the synagogue
profoundly grieve that some Of
their children have failed to live
out the teachings Of religion, and
they take very seriously to heart
the shame thus involved. but q

thy Burgess, lies wounded In
Mercy Hospital today, following
his capture late yesterday IN q
spectacular gun fight with police
at Lutherville.
Under the impression he was
dying last night, Price made q
complete confession Of his crime,
bearing out in every detail the
story told by Mrs. Burgess after
she was found hysterical beside
9 road near Melyale early yester-
day.
Fight Gun Battle
Police and posses had hunted
the negro throughout Baltimore
and surrounding counties all day,
when Patrolman j. Talbot Kelly.
Of Baltimore county. approached
him on the station platform at
Lutherville. Price. opened fire
first and gun battle id which
20 shots were fired started. The
negro at one time pulled q small
negro girl In front Of him to
shield himself, but Kelly, ike
Price, q war veteran, finally
wounded him In the chest.
Kelly's shot brought to an end
one of the. strangest criminal
cases in Maryland history. Price.
who lost a leg in the war, ap.
preached q car in which Mrs.
Burgess and HeymAn were sit
ting, drew gun and forced Hey.
man to drive to Cold Spring
Lane. He then ordered the car
stopped, killed Heyman and at.
tackled Mrs. Burgess.
A passing motorist picked up
Mrs. Burgess and took her to
the hospital where she told police
the negro had said after attack.
ing her:
My name Is Alonzo Price, and
I'm going to die anyway, so
don't care what happens to me. .

Physicians said the negro's con-
dition was improved at midnight

GERMAN AUTHOR
 CAUST|C 0N U. S..
Says Church More Dominant
 Here Than in Europe

Berlin, July Is P(--Prosperity and prohibition, or rather it's evasion are the two pillars upon which American civilization rests, in the judgment of Arthur Holitscher. Ger man author and globe trotter, in his latest book, Revising America"
 "The savings bank book" he ob- serves, constitutes the crowning point of an Americans life-work.'
 As to prohibition Holtischer main tains that the favorte pastime of the American is indubitably the eva- sion of prohibition. The American, big child that he is, enjoys nothing so much as putting one over on the law-and that can be accomplished most easily by consuming alcohol. even if he did not care much for it before prohibition"
 One chapter of the book is devot- d to the American conception of 'service." This word he finds, lis not only a slogan-it has become a motto, if not a principle on the same par with democracy Service means both service to God and service to man"
 The church. according to the writer, plays a much more dominant role in America than it does in Eu- rope. The triviality, the monotong,
