OVERFLOW TO HEAR
COBB, AND HE'S ILL
War Correspondent Promises to
Speak at Suffrage Show
When He Receivers.

An audience that filled the building
and overlooked to the pavement gath
cred at the Fifth Avenue Suffrage Shop
Yesterday to hear Irwin Cobb, the war
correspondent, testify to his belief in
votes for women. And after all Mr..
Cobb didn't come. Instead he sent a
telegram, saying that he was laid low
by illness. He assured Mrs. Norman
de K. Whitehouse, manager Of the shop
for the Women's Political Union, that
he would be on hand the minute he got
well enough to leave his bed.
Norman Hapgood spoke in Mr.. Cobb's
place. and Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr
pleased the audience by giving some
hard knocks at the Board of Education.
81 can do this" she explained, "be-
cause I'm not connected with the
schools. You know what happens when
one who is in the school system ven
lures 10 criticise the board"
1--WE do that" cried an Irishman in
a rear seat; and everybody roared.
Mrs. Dorr told stories Of bad condi-
tons in some of the schools she had
visited, describing in particular one in
Flatbush where the oveTcrowding, she
said, was so bad that children were
sitting on the cement floor in the base
ment." Turning TO the industrial world,
she talked about the lack of sanitation
and danger to human life in some of
the factories.
This was brought wildly to my
mind" she said, "by something a
woman of the street said when the Tri-
angle Waist Factory burned. 1t was
when the fire was just over; bodies lay
stacked up outside, and two of the most
wretched looking outcasts from society
| | ever saw stopped to looki"
any, Jenniel' said one to the other,
'ain't we gla-. that we left the factory!
81 hope that when women vote we
can change conditions in industry so
that no woman can say or think E"
thing like that"

Story of One Purchaser
for Whole Collection
Dismays Hartford.
MEMORIAL HALL is
STANDING EMPTY
Trustees Wondering What to Do
with Handsome Building
Erected In City.
[By Telegraph TO Tho Tribune. ]

Hartford. Conn, Dec. 26.-According
to information received from reliable
sources to-day by former friends Of
the late J. Pierpont Morgan, the won
derful memorial erected in this city by
the dead fnancier, who was born in
Hartford, Is likely to have vacant
rooms and exhibition halls, instead of
being filed with the Morgan art treas
urcs, which it was planned to exchange
from time to time with New York City.
Trustees OF the Morgan memorial
which is q monument to the giyer's
father, Junius Spencer Morgan, are
now depending on loans and gifts to
partly fill the spacious museum, which
stands in Main ST., near Hartford's new
Municipal Building, with which II
forms a companion in grouping. The
trustees and other Hartford friends OF
the Morgan family understand that not
any Of the priceless paintings and other
art wonders will come to Hartford, and
that tho collection will be sold, prob
ably all to one purchaser.
This report has created something
like dismay in Hartford. One Of the
younger Morgan's best friends said to-
day:
"Though the present head Of the
Morgan house has frequently said that
il, in carrying out his fathers wishes
il were possible TO keep the collection
intact Hartford would not be neglect
ed, still | understand now he intends
to sell the whole lot, and If 1t goes "a
one purchaser, of course Hartford will
suffer. / presume that If Mr.. Morgan
gets the best price by selling to one
purchaser he will sell"
A denial that any part Of the Nor
gan collection had been sold or offered
for sale was issued last night by j
p. Morgan, at his home In Glen Cove
Long Island. Mr.. Morgan said ahc
that he had authorized no statement
that the Junius Morgan Memorial wa:
to receive any part of the collection.
Should the s50,O00,000 collection BIZ
sold by Mr.. Morgan the state would
benefit by a tax of almost S2,000,O0O
The collection, by a special law, is
exempt from the inheritance tax. il
it be presented to the city or the state
within two years the 4 per cent inherit
ance tax will not apply.
