LORADO TAFT'S WORK
Interesting Comment by His Friend
DIR. Richard Burton.

dorado Taft belongs to a select little
group Of younger American sculptors who
stand for the best work in that art which
has been done in the United States. The
group consists of men like St. Gaudens,
MacMonnies, French and Barnard. Mr..
Taft, at whose summer camp at Oregon
Ill, was most delightfully."- entertained
in early September, is valued instruc-
tor in the Fine Arts school in Chicago,
and as a lecturer distinctly the most
sought-for man in his profession, uniting
sound knowledge and the authority of
high performances with a gift for popu-
lar presentation. Personally, was great
ly impressed by his noble work, '"The Sol
itude of the SOUL" to be seen in the art
exhibit at Buffalo.
The lecture Mr.. Taft is to give here is
novel one, since it takes the audience
into the sculptor'S workshop and initi-
ates them into the mysteries Of the craft.
Mr.. Taft is thoroughly human. He en-
livens his talk with witty reminiscence
and his easy manner and fine voice and
presence add to the attraction. Nobody
will regret an evening given to him.

WOULDN'T MODIFY IT
j. v. Brewer Stands by His Paper
Criticfzing Indian Policy.

The state historical society, at meet
ing held last night, elected the following
to life membership: Senator Moses E.
Clapp, Simeon M. Hayes, A. H. Lindeke,
A. K. Pruden and Edward J. Bell of St.
Paul, and J. L. Washburn and Chester
A. Congdon Of Duluth. The paper of the
evening was read by ]. V. Brewer, whose
subject was ''Kathio," that being the
name of the first town known to have ex-
listed within the borders of the state.
Kathio was Sioux settlement, first Wis
tied by white man in 1879, when it was
discovered by Greysolon Du Luht, the
French explorer after whom the zenith
city was named. The settlement was at
Mile Lacs.
Mr.. Brewer criticized the government
severely for it's treatment Of the Indians,
and in moving vote of thanks General
Sanborn suggested that the author be re-
quested to change certain passages in his
paper before it was adopted as a record
of the society. Mr.. Brewer, however, de-
clined to make the corrections asked and
added that the paper was not intended
as O. record of the society, but had been
prepared at his own expense and with
great care. He thought any amendment
unnecessary.

MISS EVANS DENIAL
W1H Not BE a Candidate for Gener.
Federation President.

Wfu Not BE q Candidate for General
Federation President.
There have been hints from time to time in
St. Paul club column that it regarded Miss
Margaret ]. Evans in the light Of candidate
for president Of the General Federation. Yes
terday the column named her as a candidate
setting forth her claims. This makes 1t a Mt
ting time to publish her emphatic denial of
any such aspirations, sent to The Jour
n a several weeks ago, when In an equally
unwarranted way her name was suggested
for president of the state federation Miss
Evans statement is short and unmistakable:
81 could not accept the presidency of the
General Federation under any circumstances
l dislike to refuse anything before it is Of
fered to me, but wish my position in this
matter to be clearly understood"
There is scarcely a doubt that Miss Evans
would be appreciated by the Minnesota Fed
the admission Of colored clubs as a matter Of
principle, but her refusal to consider 1t is
positive. That being the case, 1t is bootless
to discuss her qualifications, pre- eminent as
these are.
The same article names as another possible
candidate Mrs. Lydia Phillips Williams. the
only other ex-president Of the Minnesota
Federation. Minnesota is fortunate in having
two women so entirely competent to FIJI this
high position with credit and satisfaction. and
whose services to the Minnesota Federation
have made them known to the whole country.
Any honor which could be bestowed on either
would be appreciated by the Minnesota Fed
Grafton, but as yet the admirers OF Mrs VIII
liams have been given no indication that she
would consider serving in the Office OF nation
al president.
The question Of officers at the next biennial
will not be altogether one of fitness or Of per-
sonality. 1t Is probable that the next presid-
Ing officer will be called upon to stand for a
policy, and that policy will be the prevailing
one in the settlement OF the color question.
Whatever decision Is reached in this issue
which has become vital to the organization, it
must be reinforced by woman in sympathy
with the decision and ready and capable to
carry out the wishes Of those who make the
decision.
Compromise is talked very generally and
favorably, and this would bring Mrs Williams
forward prominently, should she be willing to
allow her name used, for her proposition leav-
ing the question Of membership to the states
to determine was the first compromise meas
uro brought forward. and indeed is the only
one which has received any general attention.
There is very naturally talk Of Mrs. Charles
Denison Of New York, the first vice president,
succeeding Mrs. Lowe, and her record during
the months of Mrs. loves absence in Europe
is a strong argument in her favor, but the
vice presidency in the past has not been a
stepping stone to the higher Office, and 1t will
probably be little considered in seeking a
president. If Mrs. Denison is the woman
whom the situation demands she will get it
for that reason, but not because she has been
an acceptable vice president.

RECEPTION TO TINY TOTS
AT THE sHELTERING ARMS
traction for Many Who
Attend.

The babies al the Sheltering Arms were
the guests Of honor at a reception this aft
ernoon and those who were out to greet them
were lavish with endearing terms. There
are thirty-siX children in the Sheltering Arms,
in age from weeks to 9 years. The nine
babies were in dainty white frocks and the
older girls in pink and blue gingham frocks,
and the boys in neat suits with pretty shirt
waists and ties.
The reception attracted q large number.
The house was open for inspection. The
nursery for the smallest babies is down
stairs and the nine cots are all filled, and
there is a demand for more room. The
smallest inmate is a tiny Hebrew, who was
just weeks old when he was brought to the
home. The nursery numbers three Hebrews,
an Icelander, a Finlander and several Scan
dinavian babies, well as an American,
among its inmates
The nurseries for the older children, which
are upstairs, are quite as international. Near
ly all of the cots in the home are endowed
by some church, society or person, and the
linen and furnishings for the cot are present
ed by owners Of the name on the card at the
head Of the bed. The friends Of the institu-
ton are most generous in sending clothing.
The guests were received by the officers
OF the home, Mines. George +. Edwards,
president; Rufus Davenport ST. Paul. vice
Osborn. st. Paul, secretary. The members
OF the board OF directors assisted through
the rooms. Light refreshments were served
in the dining-room, which was in charge Of
Miss Frances Welles. The Misses Louise
Higgins and Miss Grace Dunham assisted in
serving. A profusion Of flowers, gay chrys-
anthemums, were placed through the rooms
The regular monthly meeting was held in
the morning. The bequest OF the late Mrs.
Whitney of Ottawa, Canada, was discussed.
Mrs. Whitney left the home a sum of money
that will be used in the construction of the
new building that the directors hope to erect
on the property left the institution by Rich
ard Martin. This consists of 12O acres of
land lying on the river bank between Thirty
eighth and Fortieth streets. 1t is hoped that
plans will be drawn up next fall and the
building commenced.
