TIME AND USE
Historic Value of Relic May Grow
Out of Either or Both, Says Mr.. Hall.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the interesting edi'
torial entitled How Old Is Relic" ir
this mornings Tribune / should hardly
like to allow to pass unqualified the brief
statement Of mine quoted in previous
edition to the effect that building should
be at least hundred years old to be his
toric. The limitations OF short, Verba
interview and newspaper space do moi
often allow Of the elaboration OF an idea
or the printing Of qualifying remarks. Al
a matter Of fact am quite in accord Will
your sentiments on this subject and have
been for years.
There are two elements. either or both
OF which may make building historic
namely. time and notable use. IL our
English language were as plastic as the
German we might coin two words, such
as time historic" and "use-histor!c' &c
express different qualities Of the histor'
zeal character of a building. While both
OF these elements Of time and use are
often present In the same object, yet
they are independent crlterions and either
alone may make building historic. There
arc certain events which by common con-
sent We recognize as extraordinary when
they occur and which are historic without
the lapse OF time. Thus, we shall recog-
nize the opening OF the Panama Canal
as an epoch-marking event. and the YES
sci which first passes from ocean to ocean
will become historic at once, being re-
ferred TO I'm figures OF speech and other
wise as having performed an extraor-
binary act. The building in which a man
Is born may become historic within the
short period of his lifetime IL he becomes
a historic character. Illustrations OF this
sort might b. multiplied indefinitely, and
| could mention several buildings In town
Of no great age which might properly De
called historic. But when landmark
has not thus become historic through no
table use. md when the age element only
is involved it takes considerable lapse
OF time in my estimation TO make 1t MS
toric; but even that period depends largely
on surrounding circumstances. The period
should be long enough TO cause people TO
connote the building with a given epoch
or stage Of evolution, or with surround-
Ing changes, or 10 nave ustu IL as a. iaHu-
mark, etc. The architectural appearance
is an interesting but different phase of
the subject. II may or may not be related
to the history OF the building.
Ny point with respect to the Assay
Office was that il had not had such no.
table use as to make II historic In the
use sense, and 1t was not old enough TO
4s,f -
a few years past have been preparing a
catalogue OF historical sites, landmarks
and place names in and around New York.
and while already have several thousand
titles II will not be complete without years
more OF work. When | began this ! set
a hundred years as limit at which
thing became historical, but the impos-
siblllty OF such an arbitrary distinction
soon became apparent for reasons which
you have SO truly expressed in your ed
itorlal. EDWARD HAGAMAN HALL.

ONE WAY TO STOP WAR
Kill Of Potentates Who Slaughter
Their Men, Says Correspondent.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: When the powers OF Europe nave
modified their armies and got them all
ready to fight each other, let each army
right about face and slaughter its own
rulers and officeholders, who have been
unable or unwilling to settle all difficult
ties without a resort To war ana the
wholesale murder OF their own people
Then let the rank and file shake hands
across the bloody chasm and pledge
themselves friends and brothers, with no
quarrel coming. Let these tactics be ELL
cIently practised once and 1t will settle
war and talk of war for several genera
lions, at least, especially II there be an
international understanding among the
soldiers that 1t will be repeated more en-
phaucally whenever needed.

GREENPORT FIRE NOT BIG
Four Shipyards Still Doing Business
at Old Stand.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The report OF the recent fire NJ
the shipyard of Messrs. Tuthill & Thorne,
Greenport, n. Y. which appeared In your
Wednesdays issue. Is full Of wha. I
shall mildly call Measurements The
loss. which your correspondent esu-
mated at $4,000. did not exceed $1,000.
and the assertion that a number OF small
boats, both sail and motor, were de-
stroyed liz without foundation. Equally
false is the statement that there Is now
no shipyard In Greenport. Your corre-
spondent must be aware that there are
four shipyards doing business here, viz,
the Greenport Basin and Construction
Company, which has the largest and best
equipped plant this side OF Brooklyn; the
Eastern Shlpyard, the Albertson Con.
struction Company and Tuthill & Thorne.
who were wiped out only in the heated
imagination OF your reporter.

ask you to kindly publish this contradic-
ton. MALCOLM FLETCHER. =

CHARITY WITH RESULTS.

There are many good works in the
world the fruits of which are not i'm
mediately, if at all. apparent, but
which are nevertheless commendable
and worthy Of generous support. There
are Others which. not because Of any
desire for or attempt AZ ostentaton but
because of their very nature, soon pro
duce obvious results; and while these
latter may in some respects be no more
needed and worthy than the others,
since human nature IS what it is with
its common wish to see results, they in
eyitably make the somewhat stronger
appeal to popular patronage.
Conspicuous In this latter class must
be reckoned the Children's Aid Society,
which has Just issued its sixtieth an
nual report. and which in that publ
cation Is able TO exhibit statements of
concrete and tangible results which
must command the admiration OF
every appreciative reader. The society
has kept the closest possible watch
upon the after careers of its myriads
Of Observation-Disclosures were 21,531 OF
them last year alone-and is able to re-
port confidently that about 81 per cent
OF them have done and are doing well,
while considerable proportion Of
them have attained high success in
life.
Now, practically all Of these children
when they came under the influence OF
this society were in unfavorable cir
cumstances, which tended to make
them do Ill and to fall into undesirable

WHITMAN FOR MAYOR
He Has Both Integrity of Purpose
and a Faculty for Accomplishment.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The man that speaks now VIII be
doubly thankful for his effort in secur-
ing the election OF Charles S. Whitman
for Mayor. No one within my recoilec-
ton has so successfully fought the allied
sinister interests in behalf Of justice. And
no man who has been clothed with tho
power OF public office has so ably and
courageously discharged his duties. And
with what success!
The campaign will soon bo started. and
I earnestly ask all those who desire TO
purify and uplift our great city from
the clutch of the sordld spell IT Is now
under to rally around the standard OF IN
tegrity and high and patriotic purpose Tor
which Charles S. Whitman stands. Let
ia begin now to strengthen aud fortify
ourselves for the fight

over in Essex County, y. j., under
the provisions of Governor Wilson's
and George Record's-favoritc Geran
election law, the official cost OF the late
election was something mere than a
dollar ballot. About SIS per cent OF
this expense went as wages to the cleo
ton officers, in spite OF which they pro-
test that they are sorely underpaid. II
to this We add the comparably great
cost Of the primaries and the legiti-

Eagle" says of Mr.. Hyde: He should
mot have been expected to make safe

main practice at the bar had been rs
"a counsel for interests bent on evad-
ling or avoiding or beating the law, In
"terests that left the accountability OF
defendants to law and the relation OF
public morals and public law to one
another out of regard. His offence is
mot a surprise" In other words, a
very weak conscience for the Mayor to
have.
