FITZGERALD TO HELP.
Elected Assistant Manager

William Fitzgerald. college 1911, was
yesterday elected to the Office Of assistant
manager Of the Georgetown University

who has been raised to the managership
The selection is popular one among all
the students. although it was brought
about only after the hardest kind of q
battle.
Charles B. O'Conor was the opponent
Of Mr.. Fitzgerald. being the candidate Of
the freshman class. The election brought
out 1O5 voters, Of which f1fty-five went to
the victorious nominee and fifty to the
defeated one. The campaign for votes
was waged fiercely by both class associa-
lions, and before the polling and count
ing of the ballots no one was willing to
take q guess on the probable result, so
uncertain was It.
Mr.. Fitzgerald entered Georgetown Col
lege a year ago last September. Before
coming to Georgetown he attended the
Albany Academy. and while there played
for three years on the foot ball team,
being captain during the season of 1905.

In the late winter of 19C6-O7. the
Corcoran gallery held it's first exhibition
of contemporary American paintings and
scored in it great success-frst. in re-
gard to merit and. second. as to sales.
At that time 1t had the pick of work
produced within ten or twelve years
But this time, for the most part. it was
obliged to depend chiefly upon recent
expressed as to whether as high stand
ard could be maintained. But it has been
done. and possibly exceeded.
There may not be as many great
pictures in this exhibition as the previous
one. but there are more good ones.
Merit is more evenly distributed and the
general average higher.
meet with favor. But. going over the
entire number critically. certainly not
more than five or six will call for denun-
citation. And this is a small percentage.
There is. it must be admitted. an alb:
sence Of those works which. through ex-
traordinary merit. astound the observer.
But there is superabundance of pictures
SO pleasant in theme and skillful in rem
dering that one can yield to their charm
without regarding their merit. That they
are good-very goods obvious but not
insistent. In fact. layman and critic may
here meet on common ground.
These pictures are hung In a double row
in all the galleries on the second floor.

the atrium. All are seen to excellent
advantage and the arrangement through
out is eminently good. The general effect
is instantly pleasing and close inspection
confirms the impression.
Interest naturally attaches to the prize

Redfield of Philadelphia. was awarded the
first prize OF $4,000 and the Corcoran gold
medal. 1.-The Guitar Player by Joseph

medal. Both are to be found in the gal
lery directly opposite the stairs.
Mr.. Robert Reds figure study entitled
1.-THE Open Fire" to which went the third
award. $1,000 and the Corcoran bronze
medal, has been hung in the small end
gallery, given over chiefly to paintings in
a high key. The fourth. the recipient OF
$500 and an honorable mention. a painting
of the nude by Frederick Frieseke OF
Paris. has been placed in the room usu-
ally occupied by current loans.

So perhaps. than many that received no
impossible task in an exhibition such as
this to say which are first. second. third
and fourth best-to actually rate them by
merit-there is such wide difference In
technique, such broad divergence in sub
jects.
Furthermore. many were not entered
into competition. The members of the
jury debarred themselves. No picture
painted more than three years. or having
previously received an equivalent award,
was eligible.
That the awards went to painters re-
siding in four different cities-Philadei-
phia. Boston, New York and Paris-is, 1t
would seem. worthy of note.

AMERICAN SALON NOW
Private View at Corcoran GAL

NOTABLE DISPLAY MADE
Four Hundred Paintings by Ameri-
can Artists Assembled.

Work Of Foreign Painters As

WASHINGTON IS REPRESENTED

A great exhibition of contemporary
American paintings will be opened this
evening with a private view and reception
in the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Never be-
fore has a more notable display been
made. and rarely has q more charming
collection of pictures been assembled.
About four hundred paintings are emu
merated in it's catalogue. and these have
been contributed by about two hundred
painters. Indeed it is thought that almost
every American painter is represented. not
only those residing in the United States,
but in France, Holland. England and Italy.
A number of these pictures were spe-
cially invited by the Corcoran Gallery.
Many were selected by artist juries, which
met in Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Washington and Paris. Thus high
standard was asSdred, and the younger
less celebrated artists given opportunity
to become exhibitors.
Furthermore, the prize jury, which
served also as hanging committee. was
composed of the chairmen of the five SUBJ
juries. And 80, from first to last, all were
assured equal privileges.
From time to time. since the prepara-
tons for this exhibition were begun, it
has been referred to as the American
salon." Such. in a measure, it is most
truly. Here, If anywhere, fair concep-
ton can be had of the present status Of
American painting. its aims and tenden-
cies.
This exhibition is, as it were, great
bi-annual report Of current activities set
forth for the inspection of the general
public. And surely none Will hnd 1t want

American painting is no longer strug-
Cling for expression. but is comparable to

words. this exhibition is no whit inferior

Accidentally Kills Himself.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, December t.
While searching for burglar who he
believed was lurking in his cellar, DR..
Charles e. Brown. jr.. a prominent physi-
clan Of Springfield, accidentally killed
himself. DR.. Brown had been aroused
from sleep BY a noise in the basement OF
his house. Revolver in hand he went in
search of the intruder. When he reached
the cellar he became excited and dropped
the weapon. The bullet penetrated the
lower part of his body. death resulting
within q few hours.

quietly before the observer. AS to matter
of likeness, there is difference of opinion,
but concerning the brushwork the ma
tOrity agree, for it is obviously stumbling.
In the same gallery hangs Mr.. Melcher's
portrait Of his wife, which is altogether
charming, and elsewhere in the exhibit
ton are works which manifest most
frankly his right to claim distinction:
Sargent's portrait of Miss Mathilde
Townsend OF this city Is also shown now
publicly for the first time, and Will un-
doubtedly attract much attention. In
color and composition it is charming. and
in technique Enthusiastically clever. 1t

Mr.. Sargent in this exhibition.

contributions in this same field.
Nor should Kenyon Cox's portrait OF
the late Augustus Saint Gaudens be for
gotten.
Pictures Of Some Age.
AS it has been said the majority of the
paintings in this exhibition have been
produced within the past three years.
Exceptions have been made in the case
of a few special pictures, such, for ex-
ample, as E. A. Abbey's 'Penance Of
Eleanor Duchess of Gloucester" owned
by the Carnegie Institute Of Pittsburg:
John LaFarge's weird wolf Charmer'
and two other canvases: Abbot Thayer's
beautiful Virgin the property OF Mr.
Freer. and noble Winged Figure" in
scribed to Robert Louis Stevenson. and
Winslow Homers Early Morning" and

their respective owners.

Bic Number Of Tied Games

There are two remarkable features con-
nected with these results. The first is
that almost without exception scores have
been very greatly reduced over 1907. The
second is the unusual number OF tied

his forfeit yesterday. while Broad's man.
ager will cover it today. For long time
Lowe has been anxious to get on match
with Broad, who has made q creditable
record in the roped arena. Broad Is
known to Baltimore boxing fans. notably
because of the hard battle he gave Soldier
Burns in this city last season, when Burns
was boxing In his best form. The bout
was termed a draw by the referee.
Broad has been boxing in New York
and Philadelphia during the past year.
This season he started out as an actor.
taking the heavy part in a sketch entitled
THE $50 Purse" Broad finally tired
of the actor life and pulled away from
the stage at Toledo. Ohio. last month.
Broad has fought draws with Leach Cross,
the sensational New York boxer. and
frankie Madden. who is now considered
one OF the most promising of lightweights.
Last week in Philadelphia Broad knocked
out Young Kid Corbett in the third
round. He has the distinction of never
having been stopped during his career in
the ring.
Lowe needs no introduction here, as the
Washington boxer has boxed q dozen or
more bouts in local rings. He beat the
best of the local boxers, including Joe
Tipman and Harry Scroggs. He stopped
Kid Stein In five rounds. and won from
Bert Reyes in fifteen-round bout in Bos-
ton. Keyes is the New York boxer who
scored a knockout over Kid Sullivan In
eighteen rounds in Savannah q couple OF
weeks ago.

DOdds' Strength
Is Growing.
Clare Editor Highly En-
dOrses His Candidacy.

1.-THE Cleaver is extremely happy In
of Frank Dodds, the congressional as
pirant from our neighboring city Of
Mt. Pleasant, is being most warmly
entertained bv the republicans Of the
eleventh district. III pre-primary
manifestations count for anything,
then when the votes in September are
finally accredited, Mr.. Dodds will
have received at least ninety per cent
of the total number cast. One highly
commendabie feature that is going to
count in no small degree in behalf OF
the Isabella man, is the fact that he
employs DO campaign manager but is
making rather hOuse-to-hOuse can
vass of the district himself, meeting
face TO face the rank and ile Of the
voters and impressing his strong per-
sonality upon them. There Is none OF
the makeshift about Frank Dodds-
he is the same sound, kindly, sensible,
scholarly, benevolent, statesman-like
gentleman three hundred and sixty
five days out of year. He is not
politician in any sense of the term,
but only plain citizen who desires to
represent his people in our great na-
tional legislature at Washington.
And who has better right to demand
recognition at the hands of his people
than Frank Dodds? From the very
first day he began to'wield the birch"
in the wilderness of the central part
of his district up to the present time
he has been thorough student OF So
cial, economic and political questions.
He is unquestionably an authority on
them. In addition he knows the
needs Of his constituents as they do
themselves. Mr.. Dodds is not what
the Cleaver calls ''glad-hand man."
SOLDERING over people when he meets
them is not his fort. Thank God for
it,. Deliver US from the jelly-iish, pap
promising, fraternally yours, etc. vote
seeker. Mr.. DOdds meets you with
the quiet uDassuming manner that is
characteristic Of him at all times. He
is the same today, tomorrow, before
election and after election. Frank
DOdds is strictly the man for the com
mon people. The county press OF
the district is strongly advocating his
candidacy"
