Believes That Memorials
Should Be Built to Ideas

America has no monuments to ideas;
her monuments are erected to indiviu-
uals," said Gutzon Borglum. the sculp-
tor, in addressing the Foreign Affairs

Is erected to the victims of the Titanic
disaster. that he hoped 1t would be truly
ideallstic and commemorative of the
event
The Greeks. the Italians. and the
Indians, from whom we get our
ideas, erect monuments to ideas; We
erect ours to men, and Of such monu-
ments We have an oversupply."

and Buffalo was'urged as q part of
the scheme to celebrate 100 years of
peace between the English speaking
peoples OF the world. the date of

APPRAISERS DECIDE
FOR UNITED STATES.
IN WOOD PULP CASE
General Board In New York
Rules to Exempt Euro
pean Nations.

The board of general appraisers, in
New York, has denied the protests of
several European governments and de-
cided for the United States in the wood
pulp cases. In a majority opinion, the
board held that Canada was not a coun-
try, nation or state, In the accepted
sense, and that the Senate and the
President did not have the power to
make treaties that would abrogate the
legislative and tariff making preroga-
tives of the House of Representatives.
When Canada failed to ratify the
reciprocity treaty, that treaty became
inactive, with the exception of section
two, providing for the free entry of
wood pulp and pulp products into the
United States from unrestricted Cana
dian territory. This section contained
no proviso, as did the other sections,
and Immediately became law when ap-
proved by Congress and the President.
Consequently pulp has been admitted
free from unrestricted Canadian terri
tory.
Several European governments, in
cluding Germany, France, Russia, and
Sweden, protested against the levying
of duty on their pulp exports by Col
lector Loeb. They maintained that un-
ing treaties they were entitled to any
concessions granted to another country.
All of these protests were denied on
the grounds cited. The case will prob
ably be appealed to the Customs Court
in this city within a few days. The
majority opinion was rendered by Ap-
praiser Somerville.

New Law to Require
Consumptives' Isolation

Consunlptives in New Jersey will be
isolated and placed in hospitals at State
expense, II they do not take necessary
precautions to prevent the spread Of
the disease with which they are AFFLICTED.
New jersey has just adopted a law
which is designated by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis as the most advanced
legislation in the campaign against
tuberculosis that has been enacted by
any State in the United States. IL not
by any country in the world. Governor
Wilson has signed the biz.
The new law provides that tubercu-
1osis patients who refuse to obey the
regulations laid down by the State
board Uf health concerning the preven-
tion OF their disease, and thus become
a menace to the health of those with
whom they associate, shall be compul-
Eorily segregated by order of the courts,
in institutions provided for this purpose.
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institution
in which he is placed, he may "be iso-
lated or separated from other persons
aud restrained from leaving the insttu-
ton"
The law further provides that all
counties shall within six months from
April l make provision In special insti-
tutions for the care of all persons hav-
ing tuberculosis in these counties. The
State treasury will subsidize eacn
county to the extent of So a week for
each person maintained in these insu-
tutions except those who are able to
pay for the cost Of maintenance.
The only other State that provides for
the compulsory segregation of danger
GUS cases of tuberculosis Is Maryland
And San Francisco is the only city
which has a special ordinance provid-
ing for compulsory removal of danger.
Gus tuberculosis cases
The national association has always
held the position taken by the New
Jersey Legislature, that a consumptivI
who exercises sufficient precautions |!
not a menace to The general health. but
that the careless and incautious tuber
culosis patient should be forcibly re,
Rtrained from spreading the disease.

VETERAN SENT TO
JAIL FOR ASSAULT
ONOFF|CERO OF Law
Frederick Frosch Shrieks
When Judge Sentences
Him to 90 Days.

Shrieking and sobblng, Frederick w.
Frosch, a one-armed veteran, present
ed a pathetic scene, when Justice Barn
ard in Criminal Court No. today
sentenced him to sixty days in jail 70:
assaulting Dennis ]. Cullinane, a po-
liceman with a sword last September.
Frosch pleaded guilty to the charge.
utNstated that he was drunk, and did
not know what he was doing. Daniel
w. Baker, former United States At
torney, made strong appeal for lenl-
ency, suggesting that the aged man he
placed on probation, but this was OPP
posed by the United States Attorneys S
office through Assistant Prosecutor S.
McComas Hawken, who urged a severe
sentence, because OF the gravity of tho
offense.
1t was stated Officer Cullinane went
to Froschs home, 1914 Corcoran street 10
protect the defendants family, ana the
veteran grabbed a sword, and drove
him from the house. The officer said
he drew his revolver, and stuck 1t In
Frosch's face, but his assailant did not
even pause in his attack.
Justice Barnard stated that, in view
Of the character of the assault, he felt
II his duty to impose at least a jait
sentence, and believed he was exercis-
ing leniency In doing so, as a peniten-
tiary term would not be too much for
such an offense.

Twelve Holes In Her Hull
and Propeller Blades Are
Snapped Off.

NEW YORK, April S.-with twelve
large holes in her hull and the ends of
her propeller blades snapped off, the
steamship Romsdel, from Ajugeund
Norway, has arrived in this port. The
officers and crew bring tales OF expert
erces in field of ice March 26 while
trying to aid a steamship which was
fast in the foe and signaling for help.
Before they could get close enough to
give aid the unidentified vessel disap-
peared. and II is believed she sank with
her crew.
The Romsdel, which is a small freight
er of 1,4S6 gross tonnage, left Bergen,
Norway, on March IA, with salt and q
miscellaneous cargo. She was bound for
New York and the West Indies. The
vessel reached latitude 45.5, longitude
b1l0, on the afternoon Of March 26.
which is about four hundred miles north
OF where the Titanic went down. The
1ookouts sighted an immense field Of ice
and at the same time a ship fast in the
foe. They were unable to make out the
name OF the vessel, but declared she ap-
peared to be of about 5000 tons.
Is Seen No More.
Soon after nightfall the unidentified
vessel began sending up rockets, show
ing help was wanted and Capt. S.
"A. Hole, Of the Romsdel, ordered that
his vessel be headed for the one in dis
'tress. The Romsdel was run into the
lioe field with as much speed as possi-
Bile, but had not gone far before she
had SIX or seven holes in her hull which
allowed much water to enter the hold.
All hands were ordered to the pumps
and the nineteen men Of the crew were

Meanwhile the rockets continued TO
ascend from the ship in distress, but
the Romsdel was helpless, for she. too,
the rockets from the other vessel
stopped. and soon afterward her lights
were seen to disappear. When day

Temporary repairs were made. but 1t
