Sterling 1024 Every Foe of Law a Savage, Whitman Tells Members Of St. Nicholas Society "Every man who raises his hand against the law is essentially a savage," former Governor Charles 9. Whitman told the members of the St. Nicholas Society of Nassau Island last night at their 74th anniversary dinner at the Brooklyn' Chamber of Commerce. "We must see to it." he continued, "that we exemplify in our lives that thing which today is our priceless heritage--American law.

When the violated, when hundreds of thousands of men openly declare their intention to disregard the law of the land; when they say that they will run no trains and that no one shall run them; that the commerce of the nation shall be paralyzed, then Wu should see to it that these lawbreakers be punished. It is perfectly proper that the President should use his influence and even more. I am of the words of the first President of this nation, George Washington, when he said in regard to the Shay rebellion, 'influence is not "It is true equally of the Dutch and the English that when they came to this country they established homes, schools and churches. But the churen was, not the first structure erected, the school was not the first structure erected, nor was the home the first structure erected. These hardy pioneerg loved their church and school only second to the love in which they held their homes.

"But they did something before they built any of these structures. They did it in New York, they did it in New England, in Virginia, along the Mississippi Valley and throughout the West. They built first of all a stockade. They cut down trees and built a little wooden fort and this they guarded with every facility they nad or could devise. They had their Bibles and their schoolbooks, but they had their blunderbusses, too--loaded to hit.

Bulwark Against the Savage. "They knew that if they could not hold that bulwark against the savage could not dream of holding their churches, their schools and their That is why we are here tonight because of valiant men before us who held the little stockare against the savages who wished to violate their homes. We have a stockede to defend today. Not of logs, not of stone, but something infinitely stronger -American law. "If we cannot hold that protecting stockade of American law which we have thrown around American civilization we cannot hope to hold our place in the world.

Every man who raises his hand against the law is essentially a savage." A few weeks ago several hundred persons gathered at banquet in a large Manhattan hotel to praise the Long Island of today, with its many Industries and commercial pursuits. Last night, at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, a few score men gathered to do honor unto the Long Island of the days when it was known as Nassau Island. to honor the memory and perpetuate the customs of the old Dutch settlers, their ancestors, of what is now the Boro of Brooklyn and many another flourishing community on Long Island. For 74 years these men and their forebears of a generation or two before have, on each St. Nicholas Day, done likewise.

They smoke their long clay pyp draw chances for the little orange tree on each table, a custom which dates back to the days of good King William of Orange. Each of the speakers introduced by the president of the society and toastmaster of the dinner, Charles A. Ditmas, paid high tribute to the old, Holland burghers who founded 80 well the community now known as Greater New York, from New Utrecht to the Haarlem. Following exGovernor Whitman, introduced as the "great war Governor of our State," Herbert L. Bridgman, member of the Board of Regents of the State of New York, addressed the diners.

"If America Should Slip." "If America should slip," said Regent Bridgman, "the entire world would be threatened with Bolshevism now rampant in Europe. It is now the place of the United States more than ever before to stand firmly footed in those fundamentals of our Dutch ancestors, industry and integrity. "There is a serious tendency at the present time on the part of our teachers and school authorities that religion and morality must be taught in our public schools. The idea that religion can not be taught in school 1g a bugbear that cannot scare me. If the child' is not taught morality when will he or she learn it? We must get back to that fundamental integrity.

and virtue of our Dutch ancestors who 80 closely allied church, school and home." High tribute to Secretary of Labor Davis in his work to sift the immigrants who come to the American shore was paid by Dr. Edward Everett Hicks, president of the New England Society in Brooklyn, who stated that the immigration problem was the "most serious question before the public today." "We cannot hold our gates too tight," he said. "There is too much politics and it is too easy for the foreigner to get in. Candidates, and those in office along the entire Atlantic coast are afraid to call a spade a spade. "The illiteracy test is not worth much.

It is time to stop and I have advocated for many years the superiority of the blood test as an examination. As long as we take in the scum of some of the countries of Europe we are going to have trouble.

Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, pastor of the Church of the Ascension, Manhattan, last night, in addressing the Public Forum of Brooklyn Heights, which meets in P. S. 15, Schermerhorn st. and 3d "because there are many other secret.

underhand, un-American organizations which do not put pillowcases over their heads!" Dr. Grant, who is a pioneer in forum work, spoke on "Forums and Freedom." He related the manner in which the forum had come into being in his own church quite accidentally through his meeting a "wild young Irishman of an inquiring mind who had the gift of self-expression." Dr. Grant invited this young man' to preach in his chapel one evening. The Irishman filled chapel and later the church with men, many the, of whom had not been to church for 30 years. One Sunday night Dr.

Grant invited this strange congregation to the parish house for coffee and sandwiches. Some one spied Lincoln Steffens and Kate Douglas Wiggin. They were asked to make speeches. And that eras the beginning of the forum which grew to hold such an important position until Dr. Grant's Bishop saw fit to forbid the holding of the forum in the church on the grounds that the church is "consecrated." "Is a consecrated church a place where people are not allowed to speak asked Dr.

Grant. forum whose platform is devoted to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, is consecrated. What could be more consecrated than this public school which is hallowed by the -sacrifice of the young men and women who study here at night soften working all day? "The does America a big turn," continued Dr. Grant, because it is the one place which provides a mature education for the masses. It is only in the forum problems of life, problems of thought, of government, of industry, are presented to the people.

Experts, men who know facts and who will present those facts fairly, are invited to speak from the forum platforms. Members of the forum have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and then to apply it. "Because the forum is a liberal, democratic institution, it has as its natural enemy the conservative, rich class. Those satisfied with things as they are do not want the dissatisfied majority to learn to think!" After Dr. Grant's address, the Publie Forum of Brooklyn Heights passed a resolution "recommending that forums be held in every church in Brooklyn, on Sunday nights after the church service, or at such times as prove most suitable." Chairman William J.

Dilthey, who presided, announced that he had been invited by the Board of Education to organize forums in 700 public schools. STATE LICENSE BUREAU URGED L. V. Coleman Sees Need of Halting Motorcar Accidents. That there is a great need for the creation of State license bureau to care for the increasing motorcar traffic was the opinion expressed by Lawrence V.

Coleman, director of the Safety Institute of America, speaking on "Safety---A Community Concern," before the forum of the Bay Ridge Community Center, which is affiliated with the Peoples Institute, in the auditorium of Bay Ridge High School, 4th ave. and Senator last evening. 'H. F. Mangnum presided.

"Safety Week." said the speaker, "was a big success, as we got the people thinking, a thing that is necessary if we are to combat the growing death rate from accidents in our streets. We need to be educated out of our absent-mindedness, hurry, indifference and the relying upon the other fellow that he will do the proper thing. "We need more policemen to take care of us, but with the present inadequate force this is impossible. More drastic punishment should be handed out to offenders of the traffic laws. While the individual accidents have decreased 96 percent the street accidents have increased 3,000 percent.

The hazard of the motorcars creases yearly percent." The speaker somewhat startled his audience by predicting that during the next year one out of every seven persons that were present would meet with some sort of an accident. Leo Higgins, a pupil in the 8B grade of P. S. No. 102, was awarded a $5 gold piece for the best essay on "Safety---A Community Concern," in the competition conducted by the Center among the six public schools in Bay Ridge.

and Woodbine last night, unanimously went on record to make an appeal to the Public Service Commission to have the present system of using one man as a conductor on the B. R. T. subway trains be abolished. It was claimed that the people are being subjected to an unnecessary hazard.

This demand will also be made with reference to the I. R. T. R. I.

Schneider, president of the center, in a lengthy address, registered indignation over the "pecuniary methods employed by some of our politicians." This remark was made in reference to the Trangit Commission's order that the Park ave. "cars be run on their full schedule. The speaker said that six months prior to Election, cars were nonentity on that line. "Assemblyman Kruss and Senator Lockwood should be congratulated for having the cars running two weeks before Election," he went on, adding, "this was merely a political trick." Assemblyman Charles L. Fasulo of the 19th A.

made a brief address, in which he told of the various working bodies of the Legislature. Plans have been made for the Christmas entertainment to be given by the Center to children of the Ridgewood section, on the afternoon Dec. 27. in the auditorium of Bushwick High School.

Morrow, Ambassador Pezet and Others. Many letters have been received congratulating The Brooklyn Eagle on the complete success of its recent South American tour, which had as its objective participation in the ceremonies commemorating the 100th anniversary of Brazil's independence. Each of these letters also lauds the 12-page Tour Reprint, which was edited at the completion of the tour and widely Gov. Jay J. Morrow, Governor of the Canal Zone, says: "I have received the reprint summary of the South American tour of The Eagle party, and am pleased to note the great success which seems to have attended it throughout.

Please accept my congratulations and convey them to Mr. Gunnison and others of the management. Those of the Canal force who had the pleasure of coming with your party ask me to in contact express the hope that you may come this way again, which I do with pleasure, and with endorsement." F. A. Pezet, the Peruvian Ambassador, says: "It is with pleasure that I acknowledge receipt of reprint of The Eagle devoted to the Brazil Centennial Tour.

From all sides I hear nothing but praise, and I feel that the tour has done very much toward commenting closer relations between the republics of the New World. In Peru your party was more than welcome, and my only regret was that you could not have spent more time there. I sincerely hope that at some future time you may find the opportunity of visiting my country more F. A. Ryan, one of the high officials of the International Mercantile Marine, says: "I have read with a great deal of interest the accounts of the 1921 and 1922 tours which were recorded in the special newspapers sent out by The Eagle.

It was only because of the long time consumed on these trips that you did not receive application to be with your party. I note with a great deal of pleasure that you contemplate a trip to Alaska in June and I will esteem it a favor if you will consider me tentatively for this trip. I still cherish the delightful memories of the Grand Canyon Tour and it will be exceedingly pleasant to me to look forward to another such trip under guidance and with the delightful tolks that accompany your parties." Henrietta F. Clark, another veteran Eagle tourist, says: "Thank you very much for the fine souvenir of The Eagle's Tour to the Brazil Centennial. I was very much interested in it and followed the party as closely as I could, cutting out and keeping all the telegrams and reports I could find in the papers.

It was certainly a grand success and the dear old Brooklyn Eagle may well feel proud of it. As you say, 'To promote friendship among nations is to serve I congratulate you and the dear old MRS. EMMA B. DUNN DIES. Rockville Centre, L.

Reminiscences of old Brooklyn and references to the old Brooklyn Daily Eagle building down near the Fulton and of Isaac Van Anden, founder of The Eagle, were told by Judge Frank Hasbrouck of Poughkeepsie, trustee and former president of the Holland Society of New York. He told of trips to Coney Island on the "one mule power trolley." Among other things he said: "The Constitution of the United States has changed in my time and has become a criminal code, and I am disgusted. One used to be able to entertain one's guests with a reasonable amount of hospitality, but this country is fast getting to be a place unfit for a gentleman to live in." The final speaker of the evening who followed Patrick E.

Callahan, dent of the St. Patrick Society presiof Brooklyn, was Judge John R. Davies, vice president of the St. David's Society of the State of New York. He harked back to the talks of the former Governor and of Dr.

Hicks. He said: "When a man has a home such as we have, it is easy for him to be patriotic but when he comes to this country and is forced to live in a dingy, dark, dirty hovel and knows nothing else as a home, I do not wonder that he cannot look upon the Constitution of the United States as we do. Neither the school nor the church can take the place of the home. Housing Problem. "The tenement housing problem in this great city is one of our most difficult and most important and is a problem for us who have good homes.

especially those who are. in a position to look after the homes of others. As your ancestors settled, and settled wisely, the problems of their day, not the least of the problems that we must settle wisely and work out in this our day is that of restoring a condition of opportunity for every family to have what your ancestors knew, and you know, as a home." A delightful air of isted before. during and after the comaraderie exdin- ner. Old friends greeted each other and old anecdotes were.

retold with added flavor. During the dinner a colored jazz band regaled the staid descendants of the stern old Dutch Fathers with bizarre and bombastic music of the day. However, it was infectious, and the diners often joined in the singing when such old tunes as "Carry Me Back to Old and "Silver Threads Among the ginny" Gold" were played. When some of the mort recent and highly, out on syncopated the dance airs were piano, banjo, guitar and drums, feet kept time and fingers tapped an accompaniment on the tables.
