course, how TO make the little pot
hooks and pound the ivoryette KEYS
with reasonable accuracy: in that Is
his business. But along with this he
teaches them those other and rarer
virtues. Briefly. he defeminaes them
10 noble ends. He graduates their
frills and furbelows. prunes their ex-

out with ruthless hand their fluffy

William NJ. Chase, who returned to
New York recently from three
months visit to Europe, at his studio,
No. a0S Fifth Avenue, said yesterday
that his efforts to interest American
artists abroad I'm his plan for some
memorial to Stanford White had met
with success. but there was a division
of opinion regarding the proper time.
Mr.. Chase said:
II have talked with number OF
American artists, including John S.
Sargent and Frederick W. MacMonnies
and George w. Breck, director of the
American Academy at Rome. All the
artists 1 have seen are agreed that
permanent recognition should be made
OF what Stanford White has done for
the Identification OF the homes of citi-
zens of New York.'-New York Tri
bune.
This would be most appropriate, pro-
vided the memorial should recite also
what Mr.. White did for the destruction
of homes in New York and elsewhere.

DARK FOR STORAGE AMENDMENT.
Failure of Passage Will Kill Project in It's
Present Form.

ALBANY Nav 12-Both sides In the contro-
versy over the so-called water storage amend
ment TO the state constitution, introduced in the
Senate by Senator ONeil and in the Assembly
by Assemblyman Merritt, now believe that there
is little chance Of the amendment being passed
by the Legislature. The failure Of the amend
ment TO pass this Legislature would practically
kill the project in its present form because it
has already passed one Legislature. and in
der to be submitted to the people must also pass
the Legislature chosen when the next succeed
ing Senate is chosen. Unless passed by the
present Legislature il must be reintroduced from
the beginning. and be again passed in success
sion by legislatures containing two different
Senates.
The Association for the Preservation Of the
Adirondacks has from the outset opposed this
measure on the theory that its permission 10
food lands in the forest preserve for public pur-
poses authorized by the Legislature would open
the way TO encroachments on the great wilder
ness playground of the people of New York
State This association cooperating with the
New York Board OF Trade and Transportation,
has sent to the Legislature Endorsement Of sew
eral other pending bills affecting the forest pre-
serve. and asks for the passage Of the follow
ing bills: ,lo

serve: the Fuller-O' Bricn bill, providing FOR a

power and provide for its development under

$4,000 for the replanting Of denuded state for
est lands.

forest nreserve in the Adirondack and Catskill
regions proposed ii nine years is that contained ned
