FORD HAS CHAT
WITH EDISON
Motors with Party to Jer-
sey Inventors Home, but
Shuns War Talk.
HIS BUST IN GALAXY
OF NATIONS FAMOUS
Sculptor Frets as Auto Builder
Leaves for John BURROUGHS
Home without Sitting.

In a large, lofty studio, high in the
building at $50 Fifth Avenue, is the
almost completed bust of Henry Ford.
IL is placed just between the finished
models of Enrico Caruso, opera star,
and John Burroughs, the naturalist,
with whom Mr.. Ford spent last night
at mis- home in the Catskills.
The plastiline moulI of Mr.. Ford is
the centre of large gathering of this
country's celebrities. Near it is a
bronze representation Of ex-President
Taft, one Of Senator Elihu Root, an
other of John Muir, the geologist, two
of J. P. Morgan, and a second Caruso
bust. Close by, in an adjoining room,
are General and Miss Booth, the Saliva
tion Army leaders; Mrs. Finley j.
Shepard, and a replica of a piece OF
statuary now on exhibition at the San
Francisco exposition.
All these are the work of Sciarrino
Caraino Pietro, who for the last three
weeks has been waiting daily for Mr..
Ford to appear at his studio for his
final sitting. Sunday the Detroit man
ufacturer spent in New York, but he
could not spare the sculptor a moment.
Yesterday also he was too busy TO VISIT
the studio, for he arose early, PAID
visit to his friend Thomas A. Edison at
West Orange, and then proceeded TO
the Burroughs home. =,
At the Biltmore no one could tell
where Mr.. Ford was. P. l.. d. Perry,
managing director OF the Ford company
in England, who arrived Sunday on the
St. Paul, and whom Mr.. Ford came on
from Detroit TO meet, did not know
where the automobile man was. Mr..
Ford spent only few minutes at the
Edison plant in West Orange, arriving
there with his party in two automo-
biles yesterday afternoon. When Will
lar H. Meadowcraft, Mr.. Edlson's per-
sonal representative, was asked II the
call had anything to do with the pro-
posed work of the Naval Advisory
Board, he replied:
mo. Mr.. Ford just dropped in TO
pay his respects to Mr.. Edison. HIS
visit lasted only few minutes"
The automobile man in his short
stay, however, learned from the Jersey
inventor of the progress made in his
plan for separating carbolic acid from
the waste materials emptying into a
brook near Silver Lake, y. j., where he
has been conducting experiments. He
was also told of Mr.. Edison new proc
ess, on which he is now working, to
prevent the waste of alne at his
Orange plant.

nearly saved the situation then. To-
