A meeting of the council OF thu National Acad-
envy OF Design to discuss the plan for school Of
fine arts, suggested by President BIT teI Of Column
ba, involving the cooperation Of the university,
the National Academy and the Metropolitan Mrl-
scum of Art. was held Wednesday evening in
the studio Of Harry ". Watrous. the secretary.
1t was decided to recommend President Buffers
plan unreservedly to the general body OF the
academy at the annual meeting next Wednesday.
At this meeting the annual election Of officers,
academicanS and associates will take place. 1t
will be held IN the Fine Arts Building. Ia West
67th-St- Five academtcians and ten associates are
to be elected. After thu election the scheme for
the fine arts school will be discussed. If Presi-
dent Buffers plan is accepted. Mr.. Watrous told
Tribune reporter yesterday, ways and means
will be decided for the rasiing Of $4,000 for
the school buildings. Mr.. Watrous said that
Columbia University had promised to aid, il was
probable that joint committee, representing the
university and the academy would be appointed.
The work would be begun at once. Mr.. WatroIs
said.
The annual dinner will be held in the evening in
the Fine Arts Building. Because the academys
building recently burned it will be the first
time in its history that the academy has been with

WINDOW FOR MRS. GILBERT.
Mr.. Frohman Favors That Plan Rather
than a Memorial Statue.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Regarding the recent correspondence IN
Tho Tribune and its articles with reference to
the proposed Mrs. Gilbert memorial and the let
ter OF Thomas w. Pittman. to a statue to Mrs
Gilbert. would like to mako point Of correc-
tion though disapprove heartily OF any contro-
versy over the impending tribute TO that well be-
loved actress The Rev. DR.. stirson. who was
her pastor for many years many of her friends
and I, believe that a statue in a public place
would be the proper testimonial; nor would such
a plan have met with Mrs Gilbert's ideas. She
shrank from all publicity that reflected credit on
herself and. while she occupied a high position
an actress and warm place in the regard OF the
public as a dear and lovely woman. her position.
when compared with that OF other great names in
the profession. would hardly justify the idea OF
public statue in public park.
The members OF her church and the members
Of the profession whom have been requested TO
represent feel that memorial window in the
church where she worshipped SO many years 10
the proper place for the proposed remembrance.
Just as up to the present tine the Little Church
Around the Corner contains a similar tribute In
the form OF q memorial window to Edwin Booth

nLSnRnER IN CHICAGO.

Yesterday was the nineteenth anniversary Oh
the Haymarket riots in Chicago. The present
conditions in that city are not bit more en-
couragi to believers in law, order and gov
eminent than they were nineteen years ago
The streets of the Western metropolis swarm
with lawbreakers who stop at no violence III
seeking to gain their ends, and it is high time
for the municipal and State authorities to make
it plain, in the most emphatic and decisive man
ner, that Iawlessness will not be tolerated, and
that men engaged in peaceable and legitimate
industry must and shall be protected at all
hazards.
This is one Of the things about which there is
no room for argument. Action, and prompt ac-
ton at that, is what the situation demands.

to have been shipped TO Europe this week
Yesterday morning DR.. Baldwin went to the
Willoughby-ave. house and found that some one
had entered and destroyed every bird IN the case.
He went to the Vernon station and the de-
teotives later arrested eight boys who live near
the vacant house The prisoners confessed that
they had broken into the house and, after getting
the birds from the big glass case, had used them
targets for their bean shooters. The boys were

The liquor sellers of st. Louis are somewhat
premature in announcing that the Sunday clos
ing law is "a blue law and "a dead letter."
Before they are through with Governor Folk
they will probably conclude the law is very
much alive, though in that case it will look
much bluer to them and their business than it
does now. 1t is a hopeful sign that at least one
Governor has been found who has the courage
and the determination to enforce all the laws
upon the statute book. If the people do not like
the laws let them repeal them, but until they
DO the duty of Governor Folk is clearly to exc
cute Them strange as that may appear to the
liquor dealers.
