delegation, with the exception of the secretary, Miss Amelia de Hostos, were middle aged women of the home The president of the suffrage organization which the delegation represented, Mrs. Ana Velez, appeared more like the type of grandmother we associate with old-time traditional homes. They all spoke in English, some haltingly than others. The suffrage association in Spanish is "Association Puertorriquena de Mujeres Sufragistas" and Signora de Hostos, who acted as chief spokesman, said: "We women have working for suffrage for 11 years. We cannot have the vote under the United States Constitution because Porto Rico is neither a State a territory, but a dependency.

We must wait for our own legislature to act." Here another member broke in: "The Legislature always says 'Tomormorrow- but never today." "We feel our mission has been a success," said Signora de Hostos, because since our visit to Washington the president of our Senate has presented a bill giving women suffrage. It is the first time that our association has sent a delegation to Washington, but another group of sutfrage women sent a delegation to Cuba to the Pan-American Congress." Conferences in Washington. At Washington the women had conferences with Senator Willis of Ohio and Representative Kiess of Pennsylvania, chairman of Committee Insular Affairs, and with the Porto Alicans resident commissioner, Gordova Davila. The women said: "If we can get the vote we could give the men an example of how to meet the responsibility of the vote. Men vote in the island, but many of them can neither read nor write.

Women are very anxious to get the vote." Mrs. Leach in greeting the women offered them her congratulations on their energy for suffrage and wished them an early victory. The delegation included with the president and secretary Mrs. M. Skerrett, Mrs.

C. Cordova, and Dr. L. Perezmarchand, a physician. PARENTS OF P.S.

The United States can further the world Naval peace movement by scrapping large programs, pushing all proposals to bring the nations to arbitrate their differences and by entering the World Court, Harold C. Havighurst, boro lawyer and member of the League of Nations Non-Partison Association, told members of the Park Slope Public Forum last night at a meeting held at the Library, 4th ave. and Pacific st. Louis Besiet, chairman of the forum, presided, Great Men Made Their Mark In Early Manhood, Says Pastor "If you examine history closely you will find that most great men ac-; complished their most important deeds in early manhood," said the Rev.

Oxford st. The meeting marked termination of the 60th year of the association, which claims the distinction of being the oldest organization of its kind in the boro. Among the specific examples Albertson cited to support his estate: ment were Alexander the Great, who at 33, had conquored Asia; Napoleon, who was a general of the French Army at 27, and emperor of France at LAWYER PROTESTS FEE REQUIREMENT Clerk Replies That Bad Check Less Forced Certifying Rule.

F. R. Serri, a Brooklyn attorney, has written to The Eagle protesting because the chief clerk of the 5th District Municipal Court refuses to accept uncertified $1.50 checks from lawyers for filing summonses. Declaring that this is the only Municipal Court in Brooklyn where such procedure is insisted upon, he asks: "Why should the short-sightedness of a clerk impose this colossal annoyance, inconvenience and waste upon SO many people?" Chief Clerk J. J.

O'Leary said today the court, 5,220 3d that he 'has been forced to take such action. Last year, he declared, several lawyers' checks were returnd marked "no funds" and two or three came back marked "no account." Court clerks, he added, are sible for the moneys filed with response and if the clerks in other courts choose to risk bad checks it is to them. Mr. O'Leary said he published notice of his ruling in the Law Journal several days before he enforced it, tify and the that checks if they lawyers may object pay in to cash cer- a or with money orders. Compulsory Auto Insurance As Ambulance-Chasing Cure Compulsory automobile insurance is the cure for the ambulance-chasing evil, John F.

Heffernan, secretary to Supreme Court Justice Isaac M. Kapper of the Appellate Division and vice president of 7th A. D. Democratic Club, told members of the Mapleton Regular Democratic Club of the 16th A. D.

at a meeting last night at the clubhouse, 6408 20th ave.

is 110W in the Finance Committee of the Senate. surancel of you this have kind there compulsory is only in- a nominal fee that the lawyer can get," Mr. Heffernan pointed out. "No attorney ever touches a workman's compensation case, where his total fee would only be something like $30. With compulsory automobile insurance in effect, the claimant would deal right with State.

Thus your ambulance-chasing contingent fee is gone." SINCLAIR SCANDALS SCORED BY WOMAN Mrs. Earl Francis Whitaker, speaking on current events at the Hotel Bossert yesterday, scored the "continued complaceny" with which she said the Coolidge Administration and the press have regarded the Sinclair oil scandals. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to Senator Walsh and the late Senator La Follette, she asserted, for their perseverence in ferreting out the truth. She expressed the hope that the public would not forget "this greatest scandal in the history of the country," but be alert to see that it is not repeated. Hostesses at the meeting were Mrs.

John Ballou, Mrs. Alexander Gelsmar, Mrs. Robert A. Sewell and Mrs. William Horner.

FAKE CENSUS TAKER ANNOYS WOMEN HERE Women in the apartment house on Nostrand between Beverly rd. and Tilden yesterday afternoon were annoyed by a well-dressed young man about 30, who represented himself as a census agent, according to a complaint made today to The Eagle. The man showed badges and cards which appeared to the housewives to be official and he insisted on coming in the apartments to write out his reports. He was apparently under the influence of liquor and made insulting remarks to the women. There is no house-to-house census being taken in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is making industrial census for the Federal Government, but this work requires no canvassers. SPRING CONCERT.

TRAINING OF ELDERS BY CHILDREN URGED Conference Told Families Can Be Reached Through Youth. It is time that a definite course of study in good manners and right living should be put into the hands of every teacher in America, so that school children, learning it, would be able to "train up their parents in the way should go," Miss MarI garet Knox, principal of P. S.

15, Manhattan, declared yesterday at the national conference on character education in schools, being held at CoI lumbia University. Miss Knox's declaration climaxed a session in which educators of public, private and parochial systems described the steps now being taken in the school 1 room toward character development. She focussed the light of criticism for lack of character development squarely on the American home, which, she declared, had rei fused to shoulder its responsibility to the young generation. Bad Example Given. Because American parents are themselves practicing and countenancing acts which warp a child's idea of morality and ethics, she said, the schools must take the responsibility of educating children in these spiritual matters.

Churches, she added, dare not teach them, for fear of the interference of creedal differences. In reiterating her plea for the establishment of courses in good manners and right living she laid the onus of criticism on American homes. Dr. Frank J. Arnold, district superintendent of Brooklyn schools, described the specific steps being taken toward character development in New York.

Private School Methods Told. Frank S. Hackett, headmaster of the Riverdale Country School for Boys at Riverdale, N. described the work in private schools, with the Rev. Dr.

W. F. Lawlor, superintendent of parochial schools, northern diocese of New Jersey, giving the Catholic method. Seven Brooklyn schools were thrown open yesterday afternoon to members of the conference sO that ing organizations in character, might be the functioning of buildobserved. They were P.

FRANCE KEY TO PEACE IN EUROPE, SAYS MOONE France today is the central figure in the question of peace or war in Europe, Prof. Parker Thomas Moone of Columbia University told members of the Alumnae Society of Jo- I Academy of Brentwood, L.

yesterday. He lectured on "France European Peace," at the Hotel St. George. Mrs. Frederick E.

Merritt of Brooklyn, chairman of the committee in charge, introduced ehe speaker. With strong forces working for peace and equally powerful influences working for conflict, Professor Moone maintained. the question to be considered is the possibility of building safeguards for peace quickly enough to prevent the next threatened war. He' analyzed France's political and military situation since the World War and explained her insistence on curity against Germany. There are several factions to be adjusted in France, the speaker pointed out.

Professor Paints Sad Picture Of Movie and Radio Influence A mournful picture of the day when Americans, with only 25 to 30 working hours a week, shall turn to the banal entertainment of the movie and radio was drawn last night by Prof.

Earl Barnes of Philadelphia, who spoke at the Academy of Music. Dr. Barnes stigmatized both movie and radio--in their present status--on half dozen counts and declared he knew of no graver problem today than better that of providing something than they represent for American leisure. The movies. he declared, are an affront to intelligence, an insult to art, honesty and human nature, a sinister neurotic influence and a generally detrimental, commercialized form of entertainment.

With them, as with the radio, there are indeed occasional plums, but, he naks, "who wants to pick plums from the rubbish heap?"

Even Appellate Court Swayed By Sympathy in Murder Cases, Former Prosecutor Charges Sympathy for defendants in murder cases is "rampant," not only among juries and trial judges but also extends to "supposed cool, deliberate appellate judges who sit in Albany, far from the trial court, and read only a record and hear only the arguments of counsel." This criticism of the administration of the criminal law in capital cases in New York State was made last night by former Assistant District Attorney Thomas P. Peters in the course of a dabate on the question "Shall Capital Punishment Be Abolished?" at the Republican Club, 2143 Church ave. The former county prosecutor, who made the main argument on the negative side of the question, was opposed by former Assistant District Attorney Marshal Snyder.

Maurice Rappaport was a member of the affirmative team and George W. McKenzie Jr. supported Mr. Peters in upholding the negative. Cites Specific Case.

Ex-Assistant District Attorney Peters did not confine his criticism of the Court of Appeals to generalities but specifically cited the decision of the court in the case of the People against Barberi. He said in part: Sympathy Rampant. "Then, too; sympathy is rampant with juries, trial judges-yes, and even supposed cool, deliberate Appelate judges who sit in Albany, far from the trial court, and read only a record and hear only the arguments of counsel. If you do not believe this, get some lawyer to let you read opinion in People vs. Barberi, deliber- the case of the Italian girl who ately armed herself with a razor and cut the jugular vein of her faithless lover, and whose conviction was reversed because the judges in Albany could not determine why she armed herself with a razor.

They may FLATLANDS CIVICS PROTEST TAXI STAND The parking of half a dozen taxi 'cabs on Glenwood between Nostrand and Flatbush aves. was described as a menace to public safety at a meeting of the Flatlands Civic Association at 1516, Flatbush last night. Nostrand ave.

is a one-way street at this point and all the traific must turn into Glenwood rd. where the presence of six taxicabs parked in the middle of the street by police permit make it difficult for pedestrians to see approaching automobiles. Many slight accidents and narrowly averted smashups, which might have been more serious, were spoken of at last night's meeting. The association decided to ask the Police Department to revoke the permit. Announcement was made that the Police Department had refused the association's request that Glenwood and rds.

be made one-way streets. A letter from Lt. Kane of the Traffic Department, giving the Department's viewpoint, stated that since the streets in question were 42 feet wide the Department did not think the traffic heavy enough to warrant their change into one-way streets. The association has contended that Glenwood rd. is the main thoroughfare into the eastern section of Flatbush, which is a factory district, and that the change should be made to turn more of the traffic onto Farragut rd.

Louis Quick presided at the meeting. VIEW BAHAI FILM Three hundred persons at the Bahai headquarters at 110 W. 57th Manhattan, last night saw a motion picture reel of the visit of Abdul Baha to this country in 1912. The film showed his arrival at the home of his hosts Mr. and Mrs.

Coral is the sensation of the spring. It has come back with a suddenness that has surprised the jewelers of Paris and New York and thrown the scintillant stones out of favor in a way which has startled even the people who pride themselves on knowing in advance what the jewelry styles are to be, according to representatives of the National Jewelers Association. Real coral is being sought for in the shops, and any woman possessing set which belonged her grandmother is accounted lucky. Turquiose and jade are next in favor. The prevalent craze for color house and clothes-even pink, blue and yellow bed sheets are being featured in the department stores--is believed to explain the sudden falling off in the popularity of crystal, which held sway all winter.

To combine with beige, gray, dark blue and black, the four colors Paris is for spring wear, the coral, sponsoring, turquoise jewelry is equally good. In the realm of costly stones emeralds remain first favorites. Pale coral combined with pearls make effective necklaces for day and pearls strike a new note. Pale colored informal evening wear. Jade with costumes are effective when worn with deeper color earrings or necklaces.

Academy Lecturer Opens Fire On Literary Smart Alecks Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt versity is no Victorian. He believes in the literary merit of Theodore Dreiser and Sherwood Anderson; the poetic genius of Edwin I Arlington Robinson and Robert Frost, and the philosophic excellence Bertrand I of Georges Santayana and Russell, butReferring to the recent crop of litterateurs engaged in wholesale naturalistic cynicism, he asks, "I wonder if they're getting anywhere by dethroning their pet abomination, American boobery, and replacing it with American smart Alecks?" Dr. Mims posed the question in a lecture yesterday afternoon at the Academy of Music, held under Brooklyn Institute auspices. DR.

STIRES PLEADS FOR BORO CHURCH Challenges Members to Awake to Responsibilities. Bishop Ernest M. Stires last night issued a challenge, to the church members of Brooklyn to awake to the responsibility of living in the "City of Churches." He preached at a community Lenten service at the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, Tompkins ave, and Donough before a congregation composed of representatives of all the churches in the Bedford section. The Rev. Dr.

J. Percival Huget, pastor the Tompkins Avenue Church, conducted the service. "There are more churches and more church members in Brooklyn than ever before," the Bishop declared, "but high designation of a 'City of Churches' is less used than formerly. Has there been a decrease in intensity with the increase in tensiveness? Like a Mighty Army. 'Like a mighty army moves the Church of God' is a pious hope and nothing else today, for there is nothing victorious in the progress of the modern church.

It has motion without getting anywhere. How long do you think the church would have lived if the early Christians had made woo more sacrifices for religion than do now? There is not much danger of a man today being put to death for his faith in Christ, but the slow death of living without Christ is coming to thousands of church members. They worship a ceremony- a plan of procedure--instead of 1,000 ATTEND FETE OF EASTERN STAR have been. They may have been innocent of the particular murder in question, but they were men of criminal tendencies and habits.

"In India, when a man-killing tiger leaves the jungle and begins to prey upon one human beings, the countryside, in goes out and hunts the tiger his death. So must society do here. When there is a deliberate, cunning, deadly man 01 woman, who has taken human life, the State must protect itself." Former Assistant District Attorney Snyder insisted there has been a tendency through the ages away from capital punishment.

The human race has an inherent dislike of capital punishment, he said. "Capital punishment is a direct and. I positive violation of God's law," Mr. Snyder argued. J.

"This revolt against dullness and its culmination in the cult of smartness has swung to an ominous extreme," he declared. "Smartness at any price is the chief aim of the revolters until the revolt against convention has become a convention of revolt." Acknowledges Right to Rebel. Dr. Mims acknowledged the right to rebel against dullness. "Who that has felt its militant sting in our Main Streets does not sympathize with those striving against it?" he asked.

"They have to appeal to highbrows. middlebrows and lowbrows, to children, adolescents, morons and imbaciles and, finally, Hottentots and Zulus." he declared. The result is that the financially successful movie is a shambles of emotional chaos. Fear, love and fighting are the chief sentiments and happy endInss are absolute requisites.
