QUITS ART OFFICE
President of Academy of Design
Weary of Fight to Obtain
Site for Galleries.

Surprise was expressed IN art circles
this week when it was learned that, at
the last meeting Of The council of the
National Academy Of Design, John W.
Alexander, its president, positively de
cined to accept denomination for that
Office. This announceme". will be
made in this mornings issue Of THE
American Art News" which also pre-
diets that the most likely successor TO
Mr.. Alexander viii be Harry ". Wat
rous, who has been the acaderny's cor
responding secretary co. years, and
who. by his familiarity with is aims
and needs, is well equipped ,or the
position. Others who have beet men
toned as possible candidates are How
ard Aussell Butler, the marine artist;
Herbert Adams and h. II. blashsield.
81 am tired, that's ALL" Mr., Alex
ander said when asked why he Vas re-
signing. "The work has been aiscour-
aging. because of the lack of help by
the city to obtain q suitable site for
exhibition galleries. Everybody knows
how the National Academy tried TO
secure sites in Bryant Park, Central
Park and on a plot near the Grand
Central station
Other cities, notably Philadelphia
and Toledo. had galleries to be proud
Of, Mr.. Alexander said, while New York
has no proper building. and the Ma
tional Academy was unable even TO get
a site.
Here is a great city," nc continued
"our greatest, containing so many more
artists than any other American city
that there is no comparison. Yet, when
We hold an exhibition, such as the one
that will be opened tomorrow, we arc

Mr.. Watrous said that though he had
held Office fifteen years and was IN

'KASER'S SISTER
HELPS in GREECE
Reported to Have Threat
ened to Quit if War
Is Declared.
fBy Gable to The Tribune.

Athens, March 19.-King Constantine,
in refusing to consent to the policy of
abandoning Greek neutrality, policy
which VI. Venizelos, the foremost
statesman in Athens, believes essential
to the future welfare of Greece, was
undoubtedly acting in all good faith
and with a patriotic consideration of
all the military difficulties involved.
Unfortunately, however, his encourage
is known to hold strong pro-German
sentiments. The principal officers Of
the General staff are pupils Of the
Berlin Kriegsakademie. and are firmly
convinced that Germany must ulti-
mately win this war. This, and not the
fear of Bulgaria, is the real reason Of
their opposition to Greece's participa-
tion in the operations against Turkey
The Queen, of course, rs Hohen-
zollern princess, is wholly for her
brothers cause. Hardly day passes
but she receives from the German mill
tary attache the official German war re-
ports, and, it is credibly stated by per-
sonages who are competent to know, on
the evening preceding the Kings final
de .ison a long telegram from Emperor
William was received at the palace,
doubtless urging Greece's abstention
from the proposed action.
From the same source comes the In
formation that the Queen openly de-
clared that if Greece took such action
she would Immediately leave her
adopted country. The will of the Greek
people, however, is the supreme arbiter
of Greek policy. and not the will of
small camarila. The latter will doubt
less find in due course that it is use
less as well as dangerous to oppose
the will of the nation.

California Is Trying to
Get ArizOna'S River

A serious dispute between the
states of Arizona and California
is threatened by the action of
the ranchmen in the latter state
who have been tampering with
the course of the Colorado river,
Arizona's erratic western boun-
dry line. Legal action by the
attorney general Of Arizona to
prevent the Californians from
further diverting the course of
the river is imminent.
The trouble originated in 1895
when the Colorado suddenly
took rowing notion and wan
dered a mile or two into Cali
fornia, taking it's main channel
with it. Since that time it has
evinced a desire to continue it's
western tour, lured probably by
the glowing advertisements that
issue from the coast cities of the
Golden state. 1t has been en-
croaching more and more on
California territory, and lately
the ranchmen on the western
side began the construction of
jetty work to turn the loan eat
ing currant from it's destructive
course.
Not content with straighten-
ing out the river, it is alleged
that the ranchmen then crossed
to the Arizona side and by deftly
manipulating a few more jetties,
started the river to gobbling up
several square miles of Arizona's
best school land in the Cibola
valley. Hundreds of acres, it is
said, have already been swept
away and the land commission,
to whose attention the matter
has been called, has issued an
appeal to the attorney general
to take measures to restrain
Californians from carrying off
any other sections of the baby
state. Tombstone Prospector.
