MAD RUSH FOR MONEY

Ambassador Bryce's Comment
on Age of CommerciaIism at
Federation Meeting.

That the present age of commercial
in the arts in America and England
was the statement of Ambassador
James Bryce of Great Britain last
night at the reception to the delegates
to the American Federation OF Arts in
the Hall Of the Americas al the Pan
American Union building
Included in the gathering, over which
Frank Millet Of Washington presided.

in the world Of art, representatives of
the diplomatic corps and public Off
Gals. In addition to that of Ambas-
sador Bryce. Mr.. Millet and John Bar
rett director of the American
Union, made addresses.
Hopeful of the Future.
The mad rush for money among the
English peoples to the exclu-
sion of a proper appreciation of art
was not characterized as hopelessly de-
plorable by Amba ssador Bryce nor did
he suggest a means for the Immediate
awakening of the two nations. The
British statesman did predict, however,
that fifty years from now, when the
full development of the resources of
this country will have been accom-
plished. the pople will have time to
turn their attention from the pursuit
of wealth to the fostering of art and
culture. and that when the marvellous
energy shown by the American people
in the development of their resources
is applied to art the United states
will lead the world in the field
Washington as an art center received
no very high compliment from Ambassa
dor Bryce, especially in the matter of
its statues. These. he said. are of ar
tistic value, however. they serve to
show the people how ugly bad art is.

Police Are Called Out.

In addition to these 1t became necessary
to send squad of policemen to the scene
in hurry. owing to the big crowd which
gathered at the intersection of 1Hh and
c streets and threatened to hold up traffic
while the fire laddies were holding the
nozzle of the hose.
The advantages of this machine lie
principally in its speed" said Commits
sioner Johnston. 1T can cover a tre-
mendously wide area and get to a fire
mile away from the engine house in a
little over minute. Think of the poor
horses that would have to run a mile

ratus in the engine houses, so that there

The man who drives the engine Is also
the engineer. When he jams on brakes
by fire hydrant. and the connection with
the water is made, all he has to do to
start the pump Is to throw a lever back
ward. Then he can go and sit in a chair
on the sidewalk if he wants to. The steam
engine required a steam engineer. a man
to watch the horses. and there is always
little tinkering to be done on the intri-
cate mechanical parts while the engine
is working.

part of tonight. They refused to be

II is believed that one or the other of
the two will be at the supreme court
of the United States to ask the nine
high justices to intervene-eit
through a writ of certiorari, or stay
at any rate, to take some action
which will once again remove jurisdic-
ton in the case from the court where
the TRAILS impending. If the supreme
court acts fayorably on their petition
1t may be months before the govern
ment will again be near trial of the
defendants, for the calendar of the
highest court is greatly clogged with
cases.
In the meanwhile, a peculiar situa-
|tion obtains with regard to the ten
millionaire defendants, Actually Judge
Kohlsaat had executed one-half of an
order, and left the other half UNI
done. He ordered that the packers,
whose bondsmen surrendered them,
should be returned to the custody OF
their sureties, who were bound to de-
liver them to Judge Carpenter Mon
day, but this order has not been legal
ly entered, and will not be until
Wednesday. Consequently the pack
ers tonight are, in reality, free, with.
out bail, for the first time for a num-
Der of months.
Only nine of the ten packers are
involved in the present situation. The
tenth under Indictment, j. Ogden
Armour, will arrive in Chicago to-
morrow. Undoubtedly he also will
surrender, sue out a writ of habeas
corpus and go through the same pro.
gram as his colleagues.
