WANT AMERICAN SALON.
Art Societies Interested an MoUe-
ment for 4mGIgamation.

II scheme Of union can be agreed upon
between the National Academy of Design and
the Society OF American Artists movement
will at once be started TO erect central home
for contemporaneous art. 1t is proposed to house
the various art societies in one building. with
galleries similar 10 the Salon in Paris.
Several members of the Fine Arts Federation
are IN favor Of asking the city for site for the
building They urge in favor of this scheme
that municipal aid has been given to the
metropolitan Museum Of Art. the American
Museum OF Natural History and the botanical
and geological societies It is suggested that IL
the city would provide the site, and private
individuals would contribute s2o0o.O00 for the
building and endowment, the city might have
sorre supervision of the management.
II was reported Yesterday that New-Yorker
had offered 10 subscribe S1.OOOOO0 toward the
building and endowment fund. provided a certain
site uptown should be chosen The site. how
ever II was said. was too far uptown The sug-
restion has been made that the central art home
should he built. If possible. in cooperation with
the New York Public Library. in or near Bryant
Park or in Madison Square.
The prospects OF a union between the National
Academy Of Design and the Society of American
Artists are considered good by members Of both
organizations, although the scheme may be op-
posed by few of the older academicians 1t is
said that out Of ninety-four acadenicians about
fifty are members of the Society Of Ameri-
can Artists Of which body about fifty
Of eiehty-nine associates of the academy are
also members. Most Of the members Of the
council OF the academy are members OF the
society, and most Of the members of the board
OF control and advisory board of the society
are academicians. The increase OF common
membership, II is pointed out. promises in a few
years to make the academy and the society
practically one in composition.
The art bodies interested in the scheme are
the National Academy Of Design. the Society of
American Artists. the National Sculpture So
cierg. the National Society Of Mural Painters.

TRADE SCHOOLS IMPRACTICAL.
If Boy Would Succeed, Let Him Learn as
an Apprentice, Says Reader.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Under The heading Trade Schools Needed -
in your issue of July "a, writer presumably a
resident of Hartford. Comm is working himself
into terrible state Of mind over the fact that the
Connecticut State Legislature failed 10 make some
provision for State trade schools at its last session
In my opinion this legislative body did exactly
right in leaving the matter ~everely alone.
In the first place. neither in Connecticut nor in
the United States is there working or laboring
class" In this country have no class The
who works to-day may to-morrow be an en-
pIoyer.
Now. to trade schools. There IS ample room
for the boy who wishes to learn trade tc enter
the shop factory. studio. and a regular
apprenticeship, thus learning his trade properly
and perfectly. On the other hand. the trade
school and correspondence school simply vic
timze the boy and his parents. and at twenty-one
years of age ne hnds himself unfit for the business
he has wasted his time at How is the boy to be-
practical by studying brickaying stone
masonry, upholstery printing. eectrotyping
plumbing, carpentry, etc, in trade schoor'?
In my opinion, the trade school is simply un-
practical and utterly inadequate.
The tire has not yet arrived when the Coanectf-
cut boy is obliged to become ar inmate OF the re-
fern school in order 10 learn trade.

"N4RSE" HENRY BACK.
The Colonel FaUorabIy Impressed
zcith European AriStOCrdcy.

Colonel Henry Watterson, accompanied by his
wife daughter and two grandsons. arrived here
yesterday on the Oceanic. Colonel WattersOn
left New York nearly nine months ago and made
a tour of England. France, Germany and Spain
The we'll known editor explained that, while the
trip was solely one of pleasure, he had been
sending several thousand words week to his
paper. Colonel Watterson said:
/ observed European aristocTacy pretty closely
while was over there, and l have arrived at the
conclusion that foreign aristocracy is Of a much
better grade than the American article. There
aristocracy means lineage and brains. Here
well it ranges chiefly from bad whiskey to
Standard Oil.
The colonel said he had read with interest and
pain the accounts of the scandal in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Il have often wondered how so many scien-
tfc men connected with the government at
comparatively small salaries could live so we'll"
he said. 1T only goes TO show that the college
man is not success i'm politics"
Whether the colonel meant by this that he
was not a success in the line of graft he did
was silent ntimating. however that as soon as
he had spent few days at Manhattan Beach
to get his land legs he intended to re-
turn to Louisville and get into the editorial har-
ness again, with politics his main object.
Lieutenant NJ. Saito, of the Japanese navy,
who has been in England experimenting the
construction of Warship for his country, also
came on the Oceanic, on the way to Japan.

PARK A MASS OF DIRT.
Uttered 1Cith LeaUes and Paper
Lakes Foul Nth Weeds.

Central Park Is becoming extremely dirty
place. Owing TO the dry weather the leaves
beginning to fall early. Especially in the
northern end OF the park they strew the side
walks. and. in places. cover the grass. In all
parts Of the park quantities of paper and rub
bish. left by luncheon parties. make the grounds
repulsive.
Aquatic vegetation is slowly beginning to
cover the lake near the 1O3d-st entrance Of the
park. 1t is said that no attempt is being made
to keep this small sheet of water free from
surface OF green weeds. although a few weeks
ago coating of a similar nature was removed
by the employees from the Nicer. which is used
continually by boating parties.
A policeman stationed in the park said yes
terday:
The reason that so much paper and so many
dried leaves are lying about is that the Park
Department has not enough help to keep the
citys property in a good condition Since the
present city administration has come into
power the lsborers of this department have
been reduced. I should say. 30 per cent 1t is
impossible for the number of men employed to
keep the ground free from leaves and rubbish

GRAND JURY IN REVOLT.
Indicting Body Refuses to Heed
Judge Fosters Request.

An act in the nature of open revolt against
Judge Foster sitting in Part 1 of the Court of
General Sessions. performed by the July
grand jury yesterday, when letter was handed
in by Russell D. Hyde. its foreman, declaring
that the jury refused 10 consider a case sent
back TO it by the court. Judge Foster had
warned the grand jury against handing in
dictments where the evidence did not seem to
him to warrant such action.
on July 10 the grand jury indicted John B.
Hayes and Henry O'Connor for assault in the
first degree. Assistant District Attorney
Smythe later wrote note to the judge stating
that according TO the testimony there was no evil
dence TO convict them, as II shown that the
man who complained against them had shot
OF them without sufficient provocaton.
The judge sent the papers back to the grand
jury with the request that the case be recon-
stdered, but received instead the note yesterday
stating that the jury had reviewed the evidence
in the case and saw no reason to change its ac-
ton. Judge Foster discharged the defendants
on their own recogniZance.
