announced by Mrs. X. r. Holbrook, 1926
Massachusetts avenue northwest, of her
appeal. recently made public in The
Star. for such instruments for soldiers
who have been blinded in the great

Mrs. Holbrook states that she has
written the musical clubs of some of
the leading American universities, and
a gratifying response already has been
received from the division of music of
Harvard. Prof. A. T. Dawson of the
faculty of music promises to spread
the appeal both in the Harvard Crimson
and the Harvard Alumni Bulletin. and
to arrange with the French relief COM
mittee in Boston to receive the dona-
tons of instruments which are expect
ed to result.
Washington donors to date are Mrs
Duncan L. Fletcher, Arthur S. Peter
Miss Lily keim. Miss Annie T. Rice and
an unnamed woman, who gave a fine
mandolin. Mrs. Joseph Plumb of Hav-
erford. Pa. has promised a violin. and
Mrs. Hobrook asks especially for a
flute. which. added to the others, will
round out the equipment for a little
orchestra. Mrs. Holbrook will pack and
forward all instruments received.

ROOSEVELT STAND
ST|RS POLITICIANS
New York Republican Leaders
Afraid He Will Get Nomi-
nation.
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
AFRAID HE WILL NOT
Attitude of Business Men Is Puzzling
and Next Move of Colonel Is
Awaited Apprenensively.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. April New York poll
ticians are in A. state of mind. This
applies both to republicans and demo-
Gratis. The republicans, or some of
them, are perturbcd over what may be
q prospect of Col Roosevelt getting
away with the Chicago nomination
The democrats are perturbed for fear
that he won't get away with it, and
that instead it will go to Justice
Hughes. This would mean a united
republican party. and with the repub-
licans united there is little question
that New York will go republican in
November.
The mass of the people are calm, but
interested. That is the situation to-
day. A little later they. too, perhaps
will get worked up.
Friends and foes of Col. Roosevelt
are agreed that nothing can keep the
colonel off the first page of the news
papers from now on. Experienced pub
licity agents admit that they are prem
selves with the coloners recent
achievement. They don't know what
the next publicity move will be, but
they are sure it will be hummer.
Fears Roosevelt Breakfast"
What ! fear" said cynical old
guard republican, lis the coloners
breakfast. After the Gary dinner and
the Bacon lunch look out for a break
fast party with some democrat as the
host. Then look out for the colonePs
announcement of the conditions on
which he will take the democratic NOM
ination along with that of the progress
sives and the republicans"
This is, perhaps. an extreme view yet
the colonel is busy, and is going to do
unusual things according to those who
know him best.
The situation has it's humorous as
poets.
Democrats fear Root much more than
Roosevelt, and they are the ones who
suggest that if it should turn out as a
result of the reconciliation that Roose-
welt will be put in position where he
will have to support Root the prospect
for them in New York state will be
fully as dubious as if Justice Hughes
should be the candidate.
From the talk which now crops out it
looks as though a number of business

men in New York, some of them big
business men. have been the victims OF
something like a confidence game. Any
how. their associates think the laugh IS
on them. They accepted the assurances
that Col. Roosevelt was SO intensely
interested in BUSTING the democrats
that he would support any good man
Vlded the candidate were not person
ally an enemy. They had no particular
candidate of their own.
Didn't Understand the Colonel.
They did not understand that when
the colonel came to scan the list he
would be unable to find any available
man on it. This was before Col. Roose-
welt had discovered that the need OF
the hour was for hero. Had he MADE
that pronouncement two months ago
even the unimaginative business men
perhaps would have seen that there
was only one hero in the country. NOW
they know that not only in the COL
himself availa Bile, but they also know
that the candidate, in addition TO the
other requirements, must be nero:
1t SHOULD not be assumed that pc
cause some of the men of big business
were fooled all of them were m1sled.
The contrary is the case. The move
mcnt really antedated the Gary dinner.
1T had the support of some real lead
erS in business. and these carried
others with them. AS the situation now
is Col. Roosevelt has some right to
look upon himself as the business

 While it is true that a refer endum on a franchise for the Coconino Water Development and stock Company might re- suit favorably to the company, it would only precipitate trou- ble. The Williams Water and Electric Company now has a franchise to do the same things that the new company propos- es to do, to wit: furnish wa ter to Williams and build a sewer system and the local company is now furnishing wa ter to Williams water consum- CTS. The service of the local companyis not satisfactory and the terms of their franchise have not been complied with, but no attempt has been made by the Town to enforce com pliance with the terms of the franchise.
