CHARITY FUND RAISED
AT TRACK PROTESTED
Trustee Opposes Institution Ac.
cepting Money, but Bishop
Sees No Objection.
q, the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H., Dec. ls.-A
trustee of the Golden Rule Farm
Home today protested against the in
stitution accepting money from q
charity fund raised at Rockingham
race track, but the Protestant Epis-
copal Bishop of New Hampshire said
he saw no objection to the grant.
Gov. Francis P. Murphy yesterday
announced $4,000 raised at the track
would be given to charity. with $3.50
going to the home, an institution for
delinquent boys at Franklin.
In letter to the farm superintend-
ent. w. r. Westwood, Charles p Mac
Gregor of Penacook wrote: Il wish
to protest against our accepting" the
money.
Believing as I do that the great
business of the Golden Rule Farms
homes is that of installing high ideals
and building noble character into the
lives Of the boys committed to our
charge, it would be highly inconsist-
ent on our part to accept money thus
acquired"
But Bishop John T. Dallas declared
1t was his opinion the money was
coming from Gov. Murphy and not
from the race track.
