celebrated harpist of New York.
Madame David had varied roper
toire and was generous with extra
numbers. The opening number. a
Fantasia" by Thomas, was happy
choice as 1t opened the eyes of the
audience at the very beginning OF the
recital TO the versatility of the harp
and piqued their interest and curlosl-
ty in the remainder of the program.
There was much applause, and Mad
anne David announced that as an en-
core she would play a little thing
called Sixteenth Century Music
Box" AS was expected. the compost
ton was as dainty and fantastic as
the name suggested.
Madame David pleased with her
winning and natural smile, with
which she answered the audiences
cordial recognition OF her art. 1t was
the brighter by contrast with her
grave demeanor while playing.
Madam David will give a harp re-
cital a. the First Baptist church OF

GEORGE w VANDERBILT DEAD
MultimilIionairs Took Little Interest
In Wall Street

Washington, Feb. George w.
Vanderbilt, SO, multimillionaire phil
anthropist and sports man of inter.
national reputation. died here yester-
day from heart failure, following an
operation for appendicitis Tuesday.
His death came suddenly. caused in.
directly through the development of
pulmonary empolism which affected
the heart, preventing blood clrcula
ton.
George Washington Vanderbilt was
the younges: and probably the least
known of the sons of the late VIII
liam II. Vanderbilt. He never took
an active part in the business and fin
ancial world, where other members
OF the family gained wealth and dis
tinction. He was a student and a
traveller, and his chief interest was
his magnificent estate at Blltmore
near Asheville, n c.. where he spent
the greater part of his time.
George vandervilt's fortune was
never a factor in Wall street He
was supposed. however. to be one of
Americas veal hest men. He had a
number Of charities, and he spent
money without stint upon the de-
velopment of his mountain estate
He seldom went to New York, but
spen. part of his summers at Bar
Harbor, where he had handsome
home. In 1898 Mr.. Vanderbilt mar
ried Miss Edith Stuyvesant Dresser.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and one child, a
daughter, survive him.

STARSOF BIG SHOW
REJECT FEDERAL
LEAGUE OFFERS
Returning World Tourists Re.
main In Organized Ball
SPEAKER SILL A RED SOx
Peerless Outhelder Said to Have
Signed Contract at $4,000
Year

New York, March 7.--Organized
baseball scored heavily yesterday in
the struggle with the Federal league
for the services of the players who
completed their round-the-world tour
early yesterday The Boston Ameri-
cans signed Iris Speaker for two
years; the Detroit Americans closed
a contract with Sam Crawford and
the ST. Louis Americans kept Pitcher
Leverenz in line with a considerable
raise in salary. Although the FEEDER
al league magnates were in confer
ence with all these players, they
were unable to secure their services
and the best they could do with Mike
Doolan of the Philadelphia Nationals
and Dick Egan Of Brooklyn was to
obtain a promise to consider the
propositions made by the new organi-
cation. Steve" Evans and Lee Ma
gee of the st. Louis Nationals were
also reported 10 be comparing the
offers of the two forces.
1t was day of propositions, counter
propositions, conferences and con-
tract flashing, but at midnight or
ganized baseball was still holding
the lead which it gained when sever
al of the National and American
league magnates boarded the steam
err Lusitania far down the bay, while
the Federal leaguers were forced to
wait for several hours at the pier be-
fore they could communicate with
the returning players. Their ccnso-
lation, il it might be so termed. was
the knowledge that they had forced
the magnates of the two major
leagues to pay extremely high salar
les to those players who signed.
The climax of the day came when
President Joseph j. Lannln OF the
Boston American league club an
nounced he had secured the sigma
ture of Outfielder iris Speaker to a
twc-years' contract at salary "larg
er than any heretofore paid a play.
stated, he had given Speaker a neat
bonus for signing. While he would
not say what the amount of the sal
airy was, It was reported in baseball
circles last night II was to be $4,000
per year.
President Frank ]. Nayin of tho De-
troit Americans did not have 10 bid
60 high for Sam Crawford's services,
nor the st. Louis Browns for Pitcher
Leverenz; but in each case there
was a considerable increase in the
figures of the 1914 contracts over
those OF last season. All these play
ers had listened to the Federal
league offers before closing with their
former clubs. Doolan and Egan also
had National league contracts in
their pockets. and, while they had
not signed. Presidents Baker and Eb-
bets of the Philadelphia and Brook
Ign clubs, respectively, stated EN-
phatically the players had promised
to lay the Federals' offers before
them for comparison and open bid
ding today.

children and young people in Yer

The following letter is being sent
out to the schoolmasters Of the state:
ITO the Schoolmasters Of Vermont:
Gentlemen:
THE Greater Vermont association
wishes 10 ask for your advice and co
operation. All yermonters agree tina,
one thing needful In our state is TO
reveal Vermont's past, present and
future, especially the present and fu-
ture, to our boys and girls.
III there is state in the Union
which needs to attach its young peo-
pie to itself by every bond of affec-
ton and intelligent interest, II is Yer
mont. At their most impressionable
age our young people must have re-
vealed to them all the distinction
and charm. all the resources and pos
sibilities of the Green Mountain state
This Is problem for us all;
boards of trade, schools, churches, 10
cal and state organizations. But you
school men have special advantages
In dealing with this problem. We
ask your opinion with regard to two
questions.
Twill II be possible In secon-
dairy schools to make use of copies
of Greater Vermont Notes for pur-
poses of illustration In connection
with teaching history. civics and com
mercial subjects?
THE use of the concrete, the local,
the living. what can be seen, heard,
and touched by the pupil, is OF ines
Unable value in giving vividness and
reality to the abstract and far away
Then. too. our supreme duly is to
show young Vermonters what Yer.
mont means, what Vermont may be-
come, what they ought TO do about
1t.
The association would be glad to
cooperate with you In an expert
ment. by sending secondary schools
copies of these notes for two months.
II II is requested.

ment the high school Washington

through Vermont by auto, by train,
or on foot?

were a conspicuous success. We
hope to establish a great system OF
these tours this coming season. so
that Vermonters may see one anoth-
err face to face. personally inspect
state resources. and directly study
state needs and possibilities.
III such tours are desirable for our
citizens. they are absolutely neces-
sary for our children. We must win
young Vermonters for Vermont.
Better acquaintance" tours for our
citizens. Vermont Pilgrimages" for
our children. may become notable
state. institutions. invaluable to us.
suggestive to other states.
III We are 10 be true TO the genius
Of Vermont in solving our problems.
We must show more initiative and vi
tally than any other state in the
Union.
Yours very truly.
