BRIDAL PRESENT BARRED
Assistant Secretary of Treas
ury Loses Grand Piano.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov 25.-The memory
of an experienced clerk cost Jimmy"
Curtis, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, a grand plano to-day. He is
soon to be married to Miss Laura Mer-
riam, and some of the Treasury clerks
originated the plan of taking up a sub
scription to purchase a wedding gift
Curtis being regarded by the clerks as
good fellow, the list was circulated
rapidly until 1t came to the expert
enced clerk with a good memory.
LET me see." he said, showing his
spectacles upon his forehead This
is a good idea, but it's violation of
the law. I remember
That was enough. The Revised Stat

and Jimmy Curtis and his bride will
not receive their grand piano.

Why the Hydes Remembered.

The reason why the three members
Of the Hyde family remembered so
vividly the incidents Of this night two
years and half ago. they explained.
lay In the fact that on the Saturday
lust preceding this Monday-on August
20. that is,-they had all arrived home
from Europe, and in the fact also that
Hyde's mother who had come on from
California, was visiting them.
Mrs. Hyde and George bore out their
defendant relative in saying that Hyde
came home 10 dinner every night his
mother was with them; In other words.
that HYDE was at home eating dinner
with his family when Robin says he
was in his Wall street Office using his
control over the city's money as a
club TO compel the Northern Bank TO
come 10 the rescue Of the Carnegie
Trust Company.
As 10 the subject Of conversation
during the ten or fifteen minutes which
HYDE contends the visit Of Cummins'
Reichmann and Robin consumed on
that night, the defendant said II con-
cerned his trip abroad and the general
welfare Of host and guests.
Robin, whom he had never seen be-
fore, happened TO be down at the Car
negie Trust Company, he explained, and
Cummins and Reichmann, who wished
IN greet the Chamberlain on his return,
brought him along, since he had been
onxious TO meet the Chamberlain.
Not a syllable of any transaction be-
tween the Northern Bank and the
Carnegie Trust Company was breathed,
be said. by one of those present. He
rover heard, he insisted, OF the $4,000
loan until the newspapers Informed
him of it after the failure OF both
banks. The defendant described thus
the incidents Of that day:
"As I remember IL, came over in
the morning to the City Chamberlain's
office, and left it about noon to go over
70 see the Mayor, who was then IN ST.
Marys Hospital, in Hoboken. l tele-
phoned from there TO have my car
meet me at my Wall street office.
'I received word when | got to my
Wall street office, about $50 o'clock,
that Cummins had called me up. 1t is
my recollection that l then called him
nm He said he wanted to come over
and see me. l told him to hurry up;
that I was just going home to Roslyn
70 see my mother, who was visiting
US"

MUSEUM TO MAKE ROOM
FOR MORGAN COLLECTION
If New Wing Is Not Provided
Other Exhibitions, 1t Is Said,
Will Be Withdrawn.
BUT ONLY AS LAST RESORT
Metropolitan Officials Sure City
Will Build Addition SO Art
Objects Won't Go to
Hartford.

There is no museum in Europe, let
alone America, that would not willing
ly make room, at any cost, for ]. Pier.
pont Morgans art collections. That was
the statement made yesterday by
Robert w. De Forest. second vice
president Of the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art Mr. De Forests remarks were
the result of report that because OF
the tardness Of the Board of Estimate
in granting an appropriation of ST5O,-
900 for a new wing to the museum,
which is intended to be the Morgan
wing. Mr.. Morgan was considering
Hartford, Conn, as a possible exhibit
ton place for his priceless treasures

Forest, that when the Board Of Esti-
mate takes up any issues Of corporate
stock for the year 1t will make pro-
vision for the south wing Of the
for which application has been
made, and It has been the plan Of the
museum trustees ever since they were
aware of Mr.. Morgan's intention Of
bringing his collections to America to
provide space especially adapted to ex-
hibit them In this new wing. | think
the members OF the Board Of Estimate
understand the importance to the city
OF having Mr.. Morgan's collections ex-
hibited here. | argue nothing from
their not having as yet acted. because
taken as yet on any issue of corporate
stock for what may be called general
purposes"
Says Morgan Wants No Favoritism.
When asked If 1t were not possible
to exhibit the Morgan treasures in the
new north wing Mr.. De Forest said:
1T is undoubtedly true that Mr.. Nor
gan's collections could be exhibited after
a fashion in the new north wing, or In
other parts of the museum, and there
are none Of Mr.. Morgan,s associates on
the board OF trustees who would not
gladly, in the interest of the museum,
alter any OF our plans for exhibition or
withdraw any Of our present exhibits
in order to give exhibition space to his
but Mr.. Morgan might
easily hesitate to permit his fellow
trustees to take such action, lest il
might seem to be favoring the exhibit
ton of his collections to the detriment
Of others.
Nor could they be properly shown
except in space especially designed for
them There is no museum In Europe.
let alone America, that would not glad
ly make room at any cost for Mr. Nor
gan's collections. The important thing
for the city Of New York Is to give him
the opportunity here, and give 1t under
such conditions of room space and
lighting as to show them adequately.
Hence the importance Of early action
from the Board of Estimate on an APP
for the south wing"

Charles II. Hyde, former City Cham

day In his own defence. Mrs. Hyde

ter George Gayn = Hyde, fourteen
years old. Father. mother and son
were chiefly concerned in copper rivet-
ing an alibi which the defence will
offer to the jury as its strongest proof
that Hyde is innocent of bribery.
This alibi came as something of a
surprise to the prosecution. In brief,
Hyde and his lawyers and his relatives
contend that the City Chamberlain was
not in his Wall street office when Jo-
seph j. Robin said he was They admit
that he was there on August -, and
that ne received there William J. Cum

order, citation, petition and affidavit In
discovery proceedings before the Sur
rogate In New York. The citation Is

finding out what Gibson had done with
the s7,l0O which 1t has been testlflal
during the trial, he took for his own
use from Mrs. Szabo's estate.

coolly, when the service was made. and
accented the 50-cent mileage fee offered
her, saying she would appear as d.
rected.
The charge by Judge Tompkins lasted
two and a quarter hours. The charge
was a clear, logical re-statement Of
the testimony adduced at the trial.
without favor shown for either side

degree or acquittal.
