THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. SATURDAY. MARCH 23, 1912. 16 FIVE ROOSEVELT MEETINGS VENEZUELANS WARM TO KNOX, DABWIN JAMES' CLUB ftKOOElf IS LASHED DEFJLER OF THE FLAG MARRIAGES and DEATHS NEWSPAPERS IN THE GUTTER.

Mayor's Opinion of Advertising Value of Certain Publications. In the Current number of Collier', Mayor Ga'ynor tella his opinion of tbs New York newspapers in part, as follows: "My estimate of the press throughout the country Is high. The cities of thB West and South have a splendid press. Even tho press of Chicago is even-tempered and fair. But, in my belief, Journalism in the City ot New York has reached the lowest depth ever known in the world.

Of course this does not apply to all of our New York newspapers. Somo ot them are fine. Some, on the other hand, are infamous. Men read them, but do not take them home. Tbey throw them in the gutter.

I do not see what a circulation like that Is good for to advertisers. "Do the New York newspapers give tho news without suppressing or shading? Most of them do not. They not only suppress and shade but they will take a thing and cut sentences out of It so as actually to construct a forged utterance. They will put In quotation marks a thing you never said. They will Invent tblngs you never said.

"Do the political aspirations of their owners determine their course? Most certainly. The newspaper proprietor with political aspirations and a bad heart becomes a mere cutthroat and assassin. "Does advertising affect newspapers as public organs? Yes. There are certain large concerns here in this city who do large advertising In certain newspapers. You could not get a thing derogatory to them published In these newspapers not even that there was a suicide in their places.

"Are the newspapers accurate? That almost makes me laugh. In the newspapers to which I refer, I never see anything about myself for instance, of my doings which is accurate or even half true. "I would like to see the newspapers publish the news Just as It is and not Will Be Held in Open Air in Ninth Congress District. Open air mass meetings, under the auspices of the Roosevelt Committee, will be held' tonight throughout the entire Ninth Congressional District, and the following speakers will address the meetings: Bela Tokajl. Colonel H.

H. Andrew, J. P. Berg, Herman Laue, Dr. O.

Lamberger, H. H. Hlllhouse, Luclen Knapp and Maurice Kahn. The meetings will take place at the following places: Broadway and Monroe street, Pitkin avenue and Watklns street, Pennsylvania avenue and Blake, New Jersey avenue and Fulton street, and Fulton street and Lincoln avenue. BROKER A SUICIDE.

Columbus. March 23 Despondent because of recent reverses in business, Frank Harvey, a well known broker, ended his life last nlgbt. At one time he was president of the Columbus Stock Exchange. DIX SIGNS "BLIND BABY BILL" How Little Blind Rachel Helped in Getting Measure Passed. Just before leaving the Capitol yesterday Governor Dix approved what Is known to the general public as the "Blind Baby bill." It is an act to amend the education law relative to the kindergarten training and instruction of blind babies and children, providing for the blind babies not living In the City of New York, making them eligible to appointment as State pupils in one of the homes for blind babies and children maintained by the International Sunshine Society, the Brooklyn Home for the Blind, and Catholic Institute for the Blind, and these children may be transferred to the institutions for the blind in the City of New York and the village of Batavia, upon arriving at suitable age, and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Education.

The act will take effect immediately. Mrs. Cynthia Westover Aldcn, president general of the International Sunshine Little Blind Rachel, Child Who Got Bill Passed for Education of Wind Tots. Societies, which founded the blind babies homes, was Instrumental in getting a law passed in 1908 that provided for the dependent New York City children, and later the public schools were opened to the blind children with homes. Last week little Rachel Askenas, one of the blind children taken from Randall's Island, accompanied Mrs.

Alden to Albany, where they appeared at the committee meetings and stayed until tho hill bad passed both houses, which it did unanimously. Little Rachel accompanied the Lieutenant Governor to his seat in the Senate and declared In her sweet little voice, "the Blind Baby bill unanimously passed." There was scarcely a dry eye in the Senate when Rachel made her way- down the steps and was led off by Mrs. Alden to see the Governor. Governor Dix gave her a long interview. When she was questioned afterward, she remarked that she knew the Governor would sign the bill because he had a kind voice; that he held her hand a long time, just as if he liked her.

The International Sunshine Society Is tbo largest purely philanthropic organization in the world, with headquarters at 96 Fifth avenue, Manhnttan. Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, the president general, gives her services entirely to the cause, and says It Is worm living to have had a part in New York State being the first Stato In the United States to make laws providing for the care, maintenance and education of children from the day they are blinded.

The party then proceeded to Washington Square where wreaths were placed on the statue of George Washington whose memory Is held in equal esteem with that of Simon Bolivar, the great liberator, on whose statue, in the National Pantheon, a wreath was this morning placed by the Secretary of State. Other visits were paid to the National Museum, to Bolivar Square where there is another statue of Bolivar and to many of the public buildings. The visit to Venezuela promises to De a strenuous one.

The reception accorded to the Secretary of State was remarkable, the spontaneity of the popular welcome during which the populace were enthusiastic, contrasting with the greetings in some of the Central American Republics where the crowds were curious but entirely undemonstrative. FULL PAGE ADS FOR CHURCHES Advised by Rev. Charles Stelzle in Men and Religion Campaign. One of the interesting things In the Men and Religion Movement cropped out last night at the Institute for Social Service conducted at the Bedford Presbyterian Church. The Rev.

Charles Stelzle, pastor of the Labor Temple In Manhattan, instructed delegates from all the churches In the borough on the ueeds and methods of church advertising. He pointed out that the only way you can get men to church is to attract them, that there is no way of compelling attendance and it remains for the churches to convince the men of their communities that they have something to offer in which the men are Interested. Ho told how this had been done in Minneapolis, in the case of the Labor Temple, and in other cities. In discussing the various methods of advertising he gave the preference tu newspaper advertising, with a line of "follow up" letters to the mea of the neighborhood, mailed every fri.iay evening, so that the man would get the letter on Saturday ond know that that particular neighborhood church wanted him and had something to show him. Then, in Mr.

Steizle's own phrase, "getting down to brass tacks," he declared that the churches ot Brooklyn should take a whole page in the should Hll the upper half of the page with big type announcements of one or two things which all the churches are doing, and use the lower naif of it for rlef announcements of the services at the particular churches. That plan kept up for six months, with "follow up" letters every Saturday from each particular to the rr.en ot Its neighborhood, he thought, would create an atmosphere ot interest in the churches, which would result in filling most of them to the doors. But the speaker warned his hearers not to expect any immediate Increase of attendance for the tlrst two or three Sundays after the combination advertisement was used. He pointed out the the big commercial advertisers spent money for years to create an atmosphere of familiarity with their goods, and that they got their returns after the atmosphere was created. In the discussion that followed there was some question whether this advertising campaign ought not to be a greater city movement and cover the churches of Manhattan and suburban New Jersey, and as to what papers should be used.

Mr. Stelzle said to use the papers which Brooklyn men read, but advised that they stick pretty close to the Brooklyn papers, which, he thought, they would find more hospitable to the idea than those ot Manhattan. NEW CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. Dr. Wiley Goes to Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture, will on April 1 become contributing editor of Good Housekeeping Magazine, which will thereafter be the exclusive channel for his writings on pure food, health and like topics which have so long been associated with his name. The magazine has established and wilt maintain permanently at Washington a bureau of foods, sanitation and health, with Dr. Wiley In charge as its director.

Ho will be assisted by a staff of trained men and women, all of whom come with him from the Department of Agriculture. COLORED REPUBLICANS' RALLY. Big Harmony Gathering at Tenth A. D. Headquarters.

The Colored Republicans of Brooklyn and of Kings County assembled last evening In a big harmony meeting as they have not done before In many years. The object, to harmonize all factions under the banner of the G. O. P. in this county, was seemingly realized.

The meeting was held at the Tenth Assembly District headquarters, 907 Fulton street, A. D. Peyton president of the Society of Sons of North Carolina, presided and John H. Dickerson acted as secretary. The hall was crowded and the best of feeling prevailed.

All clubs of colored Republicans, Including the H. H. Garnet Club, and the Kings County Colored Republican Club and others were present. Twenty-three districts were represented. WRIGHT IS SURE OF VICTORY.

Many Interesting topics were discussed last night at a meeting of the Alpha Club, where Richard Wright is opposing Edgar H. Hazlewood. Mr. Wright in talking of tho political situation said that a thorough canvass had been made of the entire district by his captains and that success was assured, but that the fight will be continued until th polls close on primary day.

TAKE SHOT AT CAMPBELL Ask Did County Committee Know Adoption of Assembly District Unit Plan Was Illegai? The Brooklyn Young Republican Club today announced that it will support the anti-organization movements In the sev eral districts where the antls are fight ing for the election district as the unit in primary contests.

Thus Darwin James makes good his threat ot the other day of opposing regulars, if necessary. to show up the unpopularity of the new Assembly District unit plan adopted by the local organization. The regulars who will be opposed Dy the James organization are William Schnltzpan, In the Twentieth District, where Harrison C. Glore is his opponent; Lewis M. Swazey, in the Seventeenth, where his opponent is R.

Gordon Mackay; George A. Owens, in the Fourteenth, where he is being opposed by Ernest C. Wagner. The Young Republican Club takes a shot at Campbell In Its statement of today, as follows: "Mr. Campbell and the others appeared not to agree with tis and succeeded in convincing the great majority of the County Committeemen that the Assembly district, and not the election district, was the only legal unit.

Did they really believe that we were right, and did they know at the time that they were asking the County Committee, against Its i recorded will, to adopt a set of rules that were Illegal? Subsequent events may throw some light on the "A conference of leaders was called and it was suggested that the law be amended. part in this conference were representatives from Kings County, If the law could be amended, striking out the requirement that the County Committee should be selected, one from each election district, then the Assembly District plan could be adopted. "We must recall the fact that the Senate is Democratic, while the Assembly is Republican. This bi-partisan legislature. In the Bhort space of twenty-four' hours, adopted the amendment agreed, upon by the leaders.

The famous bipartisan combination was working, and to this Is accountable the almost Incredible speed with which the amendment went through. The amendment passed the Assembly on February 8 the day the rules were adopted and passed the Senate and was signed by the Governor on February 14. l'art of tho acceleration Imparted to the amendment was given to the New York County Democratic Com-. mltt.ee, and other machine committees, which did not, like the Kings County Republican Comn.lttee. dare to meet and adopt the Assembly District as the unit until the law was amended.

They well knew the election district would have to be made the unit law as it was then." A PROMISING YOUTH. Russellville.

G. A. R. BEHIND PROSECUTION. Special Sessions Judges Unanimous in Giving Italian the Limit for His Act.

Felix Adolfo, the Italian who spat and trampled upon and set fire to the American flag at a meeting of Socialists at L'ederkranz Hall, Manhattan avenue and Mescrole street, on March 10 last, was tried and convicted in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday afternoon. He was sentenced to serve thirty days in jail and to pay a fine of $100. In default of this he was remanded to serve lftO days additional. This is the law's limit for such an insult to the flag. The Memorial and Executive committee of the G.

A. R. in Brooklyn was represented in court on the side of the prosecution. All three of the justices, Olm-stead, Morse and Mclnerny, were ot one mind in the conviction. According to the testimony of the officers who made the arrest, Patrolmen Michael Sterns, Samuel Rosenfeld and Detective Digilis, Adolfo deliberately, as he was on the point of making a speech, took a match, lighted the blue field of the flag, spat upon it, then threw It to the floor and trampled It.

All three told the same story on the stand. Adolfo, who has been In this country twenty years, but has never taken out papers, claimed that he was lighting a cigar and threw the match on the floor. He smelled something burning and noticed the flag afire near his foot. He then stamped on it to put out the blaze, he said. All of the officers were near the man at the time and they declared that his story was not true, but that, excited by the inflammatory nature of the speeches, he deliberately insulted the flag.

It was while Sterns was on the stand that a lawyer said "Hand me that rag." "What's that?" the three Justices cried In unison. Justice Olmstead halted the trial and ordered the attorney to apologize. He did this very promptly and the incident was closed. Counsel for Adolfo moved for a dismissal of the case on the ground that there was insufficient evidence. Justice Olmstead denied the motion and likewise denied a request for suspended sentence.

In sentencing the prisoner the court remarked that it was its duty to teach men like Adolfo a lesson, and the judge appeared to regret that he could not make that lesson more severe. Immediately after the Incident on March 10, George H. Jacobs, secretary, and Dr. Simmons, chairman, of the Memorial and Executive Committee of the K. went to the district attorney and urged that the prosecution against Adolfo be pushed to the limit.

Both, together with Counsellor John Murphy of the G. A. were present at the trial yesterday. STATE DEPARTMENT NEWS. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, March 23 John W.

D. Democrats Cheer Lustily as Leader Scores County Chairman. CLUBHOUSE FILLED TO DOORS McCooey Pictured as Man Who Began Well, but Fell by the Wayside. Cheered at a mass meeting that crowded to the doors the Ninth Assembly District Democratic Clubhouse last night, Thomas F. Wogan, the anti-McCooey leader of that district, assailed County Leader John H.

McCooey from a dozen different standpoints, characterizing the last campaign as a "series of blunders." and Btatlng that McCooey actually did not want conditions growing out of his mismanagement relieved. From beginning to end the address was a bitter and scathing rebuke of McCooey, who was described as the man who had started out with a splendid record, giving promise of being a faithful and efficient leader, but who had fallen by the wayside and had undergone a complete change In a few years. "It wag I who nominated John H. McCooey for chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee and leader of the county organization," said Wogan. "I did It on his record.

He had stood by Senator McCarren and for his loyalty had lost a good position in the Municipal Civil Service Commission. Who could forsee that a man with such indications of character could undergo such a complete change in a few years?" Continuing, he delivered blow after blow at the administration of McCooey in recent months and characterized as 'weak-kneed' the leaders who had not stood by the McCooey opposition at the last election of county leader. Last Campaign a Series of Blunders, "Our last campaign was a series of blunders," he said. "No ms.n has a right to make blunders when he has the welfare of a great parly in his hands. Our campaign could not have been better manipulated for the benefit of the Republican party if it had been done by the Republicans themselves.

After the election it was the opinion of practically all Democrats and particularly the district leaders that there should be a change; that we should return to the 'open door' and give our nominations to men of the highest type. "Some of us, with perhaps a little more courage than others, drew up a resolution for reorganization. We aimed to have a committee that would send for all elements of the party and try to bring everybody together harmoniously in the organization." Then Indirectly Wogan brought to the notice of his audience the powerful influences of. Tammany, which were allowed to Invade the borough organization and were directed against those who were trying to unify the party and oust McCooey. He said: "In addition to the eight district leaders whose delegations voted for reorganization at the annual meeting of the county committee, there were two others who were committed to the movement.

Powerful influences from outside were brought to bear upon all of them and two who were weak-kneed yielded. McCooey Fought Reorganization Plans. "We had had a committee to listen to complaints and bring the elements of the party together in 1909. I was the chairman. You remember the result.

The Democratic party won a triumphant victory that year and contributed to a great State victory the net year. The idea was so successful that the Republicans adopted it the next year and found that it worked splendidly. We wanted to return to this system last December. But McCooey did not want reorganization. He did not want the distress caused by his mismanagement to be relieved.

Powerful pressure was brought to bear upon us from the outside. Two of our number proved weak-kneed at the last moment and the resolution was defeated. That resolution aimed to restore Democratic harmony and put us in a condition to win victories at the polls, but the county leader would not have it. "I am called a kicker. I am satisfied to have that reputation.

I do not believe that the people of the Ninth want a man on the executive committee who will merely sit there and nod his head when the county leader pulls the wires." The meeting was presided over by Joseph L. Sackman and among the other speakers were Daniel J. Griffin, Alderman John J. Meagher and James 'McCarthy. Tonight the Woganltes will hold another mass meeting at Exempt Firemen's Hall, Bay Ridge and Fifth avenues.

Daniel J. Griffin Turns Verbal Guns on Doyle. Mr. Griffin in his speech last night attacked William A. Doyle, the declared McCooey man who is running against Wogan in the Ninth.

In part he siiid" 'Doyle snys that Wogan, In order to receive support, has promised the Congressional nomination to Barth S. Cro-nln, Walter L. Durack, Alonzo G. McLaughlin, Edmund O'Connor, Jeremiah J. O'Leary and myself.

You all know the principle, 'False in one; false In The statement that he has promised me the nomination is absolutely false, and so Is probably all the rest of the story. Mr. Wogan has promised me nothing; I would not ask for a promise in return for my support." MRS. MARY J.GORDON VERY ILL Matron of Howard Colored Orphan Asylum Operated On. The Woman's Auxiliary to the board of managers of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan Asylum held Its regular monthly meeting at the city office, yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. J. W. Whitlatch, the president, occupied the chair and conducted a session of prayer after reading anspeclal Scripture lesson, for the recovery of Mrs. Mary J.

Gordon, matron of the institution, who Is seriously ill in the Long Island Hospital after a critical operation. The meeting was largely attended. The resignation of Mrs. Maria Peele as treasurer was accepted. Mrs.

F. Burkhardt of the Church of Our Father (Universalist) was the unanimous choice for treasurer for this year. CARRIERS OF DISEASE. Frank Richardson, M.D., talk'ng on "Carriers of Disease," was the speaker at the weekly lecture of tho Health League held In the Bedford Branch of the Y. M.

C. last night. The remarks of Richardson, who has made an extensive journey through the Canal Zone and has seen the fight made there against files and mosquitoes, were made more interesting with stereopticon views thrown on the canvas. NO MYSTERY IN GEBHARD CASE Examination into the death of William Gebhard, aged 26, of 80 Suydam street, made at the request of his brother, yesterday showed that the man had died from natural causes. Gebhard died on Tuesday, and the body was taken from the coffin yesterday to enable Coroner's Physician Wuest to make an autopsy.

There was nothing to Indicate that death was due to other than natural causes. allow an adjective or an opinion In their news columns. I would like to see them tell the truth. It is true that there are a large number of readers in the City of New York that want a newspapT with lascivious pictures, brutal cuts of prize fighters, and lies and exaggerations of all kinds and scandal. But what good Is such a newspaper to anybody? It en riches the proprietor and that Is all.

But what a seared conscience and adamantine heart he must have to enrich himself in that way!" MARRIAGE LICENSES For Forty-eight Hours Ended at 6 P.M. Yesterday. Samuel Gluckman, 2S, of 287 Division Annie Hellman, 22, of 2S7 Division av. William H. Tompkins, 44, ot 370 West 65th Mary A.
