NORMAL COLLEGE DELAY.
The Completion OF the New Buildings
Has Been Held Up.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: What is the matter with the Board II
Estimate and Apportionment? The Board
of Education has applied 10 IL for suffi-
cient funds to carry on the construction
OF the new Normal College buildings. The
necessary money has not been forthcom-
ing.
The high school building, which the col
lege department IL 10 use until Its own
buildings are erected, IL practically I'm
ished as far as exterior Is concerned.
But inside. Almost nothing as II should
be. Why, the college session was supposed
to have begun on September IL. The
girls went to register on September and
were told that they could not come until
September 10, because the bridges con-
Meeting the old, and new buildings were
not completed.
1t does seem strange that the boys OF
New York seem TO be worth so much
more than the girls. Several years ago
the boys entered their magnificent City
College. The girls. however. have to be
contented with coming I'm the fall to their
old brick building-poorly lighted. poorly
heated, wretchedly ventilated, with stair
ways that are not of the safest and
floors that creak beneath their feet. Their
chapel is a disgrace; the plaster Is fall
ing of i'm great pieces. the seats better
fit for grammar school children. The
only beautiful thing about the building
il the ivy clinging to its walls and the
spirit OF the girls who try to be content
with the promise that Some day you will
have beautiful building
II is wonder that the millionalres
OF this city who endow the greater uni
versities most handsomely-it is a wonder
that they never think OF the old adage
that Charity begins at home" j dare
say 1t has never occurred to them that
they would be doing something really
generous in helping along an institution

IN DEFENCE OF THE FIGHT
The Head of the Peoples Institute
Writes to Mr.. McAdoo

Tho Hon. william McAdoo. Chief Magis-
trate, New York.
Dear Sir: Last evening | attended a
performance OF THE Fight" by Bayard
WELLER. against the prediction OF which
an order has been issued under Section
I.li0 OF the Penal Code for the suppression
OF productions OF indecent and immoral
character"
Obviously the drama is and always has
been n portrayal OF conflict OF forces-a
human struggle OF good and evil. That Is
the eternal conflict OF all society. IL is
out OF this conflict that progress comes.
This In life. And evil in the drama must
be presented along with good in order TO
portray the conflict. This IL Of the very
life of dramatic production.
Now, vice and evil can be presented in
one OF two ways. II can be portrayed so
as to repel and disgust. or IL can be made
allurlng, seductive, suggestive. IL can be
eEyironed with many things OF a subtle.
intangible sort that arouse the passions OF
men and women With all the artistry
OF the great classic Camille" 1t has this
suggestive quality, and IL is everywhere
presented This type OF play does not re-
pei: II attracts to vice. The theatres in
New York are presenting daily, as are the
vaudeville shows. productions whose mo-
tive and aim are to utilize every seductive
agency TO play upon the passions OF hui
man nature They pass uncensored.
THE Fight does none of these things.
The realism OF the second act contains no
suggestive lines. no allurng situations, no
seductive treatment Rather the effect OF
every line. OF every situation, is to arouse
disgust and to awaken sense of chivalry
and honor In every mans soul The sec
ond act Is twentymnute sermon In its
repelling qualities. To expurgate this
play, to compel the producers to elimi-
nate this act seems a travesty on censor
ship. in view OF the suggestive, alluring
and vice producing productions which are
presented without protest night after
night. upon the stage of New York.
From moral. sociological and political
viewpoint. IL seems TO me THE Fight" Is

markable searchlight on the social basis

NEED AID IN FIGHT
FOR BABIES LIVES

The campaign for the reduction Of
infant mortality being waged by the
Atlanta Mothers Congress is making
great progress. but more contribu-
lions must be had if the hundreds of
needy babies in the city are to be
supplied with the free milk which is
most necessary. Statistics show that
infant mortality is greatest during
the heated months of July. August
and September
Atlanta has generous people who
can spare the small amount which
would mean life and health to a baby,
which. without proper nourishment
is fighting a hopeless fight against
disease and death. Many have con-
tributed, but more money is urgently
needed, and every days delay in
turning in your contribution means
that much less chance of life being
saved.
The Mothers Congress has already
distributed milk tickets to number
of needy mothers but there are many
more who can not buy milk necessary
to nourish their babies.
Think Of the little children suffer-
ing from lack of the food that few
pennies will buy and send in con

Representative Ed Wohlwender, Of
Muscogee, who is not an Irishman, as
some people may suspect. will be the
chairman of the big and important
General Judiciary Committee Of the
new House of Representatives
Mr.. Wohlwender is one of the vet
eran members of the House, and is
the only man known to legislative
fame who ever made a Committee on
Rules perform as he wanted it to, de-
spite its evident inclination to perform
otherwise.
Last year Mr.. Wohlwender had
bill about something or other that
was about to get lost in the legis-
lative shuttle, largely through a proc
ess of asphyXiation in the Rules Com
mittee.
One day-a dark, dismal and dreary
day for the Rules Committee and the
naughty highbrows composing the
Wohlwender got up and noti-
fed the Rules Committee that It
would bring out his bill or he would
make it wish il never had been born!
The Rules Committee was hardened
to that line Of talk, however, so it bid
WohlWender go chase himself and
see how he liked it.
But Wohlwender wouldn't chase
himself-he chased the Rules Com
mittee instead!

abused that Rules Committee, right

HOW He MASKED
ASCONGRESSMAN IN PLOT
To GOLD BRICK WALL ST.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The mys-
terious impersonator who. it is al
legged, has been trying to gold brick
Wall Street operators into doing his
bidding through the use of the names
of prominent Representatives and
Senators was discovered to-day by
the Overman lobby investigating
committee in the person of David La
mar, of New York.
Lamar staggered to the witness
stand and calmly admitted he had
used Representative Riordan's name,
without the Representatives consent,
when endeavoring to have Judge Rob
ert R. Lovett, chairman of the board
Of directors of the Union Pacific Rail
road, engage his friend Edward Lau-
terbach as an attorney.
Lamar made his admission, without
a sign Of hesitation. He seemed to
think the matter a joke
Used Name on Telephone.
YES, I used the name of Represen-
tative Riordan," said Lamar, lin try
ing to get into telephone communica-
ton with Judge Lovett. The Judge
was not there, and so I did not talk
with him. But l left a message with
his secretary to the effect that Con-
gresham Riordan, of New York,
thought that Lauterbach could be of
very considerable service to the Union
Pacific in settling the suits growing
out of the dissolution of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific.
Il stated that Lauterbach did not
want money; he simply wanted to Of
fer his services as a friend"
How did you happen to select the
name of Representative Riordan?"
asked Chairman Overman.
"Oh. it just came to me-" replied
the witness carelessly
on being pressed by Senator Mel
son, Lamar admitted that he also had
used Riordan's name in attempting to
converse with Maxwell Evarts. Evarts
was timid, he said, and his attempt
was without success.
FeIt Sorry for Lauterbaoh.
The committee wanted to know
whether there were any other con-
versations in which the names of
other Representatives and Senators
were used.
u do not remember any" replied
Lamar, but l dare say if there were.
someone will come forward and tell
about them"
Lamar denied he had ever threat
ened or that lie had ever sought to
bride those with whom he talked
when impersonating a national legis-
lator. He said he tried to get Lauter-
bach retained as Union Pacific at
torney because he was sorry for Lau-
terbaCh because Of the enmity borne
him by Kuhn, Loeb G. Co. and Morti-
mer Schiff.
Impersonated A. Mitchell Palmer.
Lamar said he talked over the tel
ephOne with Lewis Cass Ledyard, rep
resenting himself to be Representa-
tive A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania. He said he impersonated
Palmer because that member was
supposed to have great influence with
the new Administration.
Lamar said he advised J. P. Nor
gan to settle the strike Of 1908, but
Morgan refused. Lamar went to

it after the coal companies refused
President Roosevelt's request to con-
clude the strike.
Lamar said that as a result of con-
ferenCes with Senator Platt, Govern.
or Odell and Senators Penrose ana
Quay, the mine presidents were told
they must settle the strike or a spe-
Cial session of the New York Legis-
lature would annul their charters
This angered the Morgan interests
]. P Morgan told Lamar his business
associates criticised him for meeting
Lamar. The money king told Lamar
to meet him at his library or house

Calls Pacific Case a Farce.
Lamar denounced as a farce the
change of securities in the Pacific dis
solution case.
Here is a Government comforting

no one knows what is being done, the
Attorney General is uncertain and
says that a tentative plan must be
evolved to be discussed later. and
while the experts Of the corporations

minutes"
Senator Cummins demanded the
name of the representative of the De
partment of Justice, and Lamar said
il was G. Harold Todd.
Senator Overman broke in with a
question which led to the most dra-
matte incident of the day.
How old are vou2" he asked.
81 am modest about it, but l am
So" replied Lamar.
Are you a Jew?'
4 am a Methodist" replied Lamar
Withholds Real Name.

NO.
What was your name?" demand
ed the chairman.
Lamar was silent a moment, then
replied that while he did not wish to
be discourteous, he wanted time to
think il over.
4 have used many Names" he
said. Il have been known for more
than twenty years as David Lamar
Under this assumed name he en-
jOyed, according to his testimony, the
personal friendship of J. P. Morgan,
James R. Keene, Russell Sage and
other powerful financial men.

you have mentioned" asked Chair
man Overman.
"Oh. Lord! I suppose So" replied
Lamar. Il don't know
Heard Himself Denounced.
Senator Nelson then said: 1T
seems to me that you regarded Lau-
terbach as a sort of John the Baptist
who was to put ]. P. Morgan & Com
pany in touch with the Democratic
party"
That's it exactly" answered La
mar.
L. c. Ledyard, Of New York, then
asked permission to examine the wit
ness. This being granted, Ledyard
asked:
Did l tell you what I thought Of
David Lamar when you imperson-
ated Mitchell Palmer over the phone
to me?"
You certainly did. You said he
was bad lot and I agreed with you"
laughingly replied the witness.
Lamar then was excused but was
warned he would be recalled and eX-
amined to give his right name and
history. He promised to remain in
Washington.

HONORS
DEAD At ARLINGTON
First Southerner as Chief Execu.
tive Since Johnson Visits Fa-
nous Virginia Cemetery.

WASHINGTON, May 80. When
President Wilson went home to r..
ginia this week to honor the nations
soldier dead at Arlington-Confeder
ate and Union alike--he was the first
Southern-born chief executive to per.
form such a service in the past As
years. Since Lincoln, whose birth.
place was Kentucky, Johnson, born in
North Carolina, was the last South
erner to grace the White House.
Mr.. Wilson was only years old
when the war began. He lived with
his parents at Staunton, Va. 1t was
there as very small boy that he
gained his first impressions of the
great conflict waging between the Blue
and the Gray.
Removed from the theater of war,
young Wilson was shielded from the
stormy passions and violent prejudices
of that period and grew to manhood
unwarped by sectional hatred. There.
fore, the presidents visit this year
was unique and of great interest to
North and South alike.
His pilgrimage will awaken a new
interest in the country's most famous
national burial ground, where almost
10000 honored dead now sleep.

MCDONALD AFTER JOB
Seems Most Likely Candidate for New
state Commissioner of Agriculture.

That A. f. Mcdonald, former dairy
and food commissioner under the Ros-
ers and Mcbride administrations and
at present United States food and drug
inspector, will be the new state CON-
missioner of agriculture, one of the
most important positions Governor
Lister has to fill, was freely predicted
this week, based on the assertion that
Sen&.or David S. Troy, the author of
the bill, had requested McDonald's ap-
pointment.
The new department combines the
duties of IL present state officers and
boards and was the only Capitalization
measure advocated by Governor Lister
that was passed by the last legislature.
Hence its success will be vital to the
Lister administration and McDonald's
years of experience in that line OF
work are taken to fit him particularly
for the new place.
He has two close rivals, however, In

College at Pullman and Donald McIn-

cally all the work that the new CON-
