HEARTS ON LAPELS.
WRITERS DRINK TEA
Authors League Members at Re-
ception Put Samuel Johnson
in Amateur Glass.

Samuel Johnson lost his laurels as
the greatest tea-drinking writer Of all
time when the Authors League Of
America slipped and smiled together
yesterday afternoon at the new Colony
Club, on Park Avenue and Sixty-second
Street. II you are searching for the
present champion you must keep your
eye on Winston Churchill, president Of
the league, or Augustus Thomas, whom
the brew makes contemplatlve, or
Ellis Parker Butler, whom II makes
still funnier.
ANOTHER of those little cakes,
please
My sixth cup, you say NO. I've had
the same cup all the time
Thus, it must be admitted 70 the
disillusioned public, do men and wom-
en- OF letters talk when they get to-
gether on the quiet. and not Of psy-
chology or soul or sex problems. And
this was no doubt the reason that one
of the most representative groups OF
American writers that has ever come
together in New York had perfectly
delightful time.
and then they were tagged. Each
author scrawled his name on small
red heart and pinned it 20 his coat lapel
or 20 her blouse, so that Rex Beach and
Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin Riggs could
strike up an acquaintance with eacn
other with perfect proPr!ety II they
liked. And everybody did like.
Hamlin Garland, honorary vice-presi-
dent of the club, was among the tea
drinkers. Rex Beach. Ellis Parker But
Ter and Lloyd Osborne. all members Of
the council were there. Mrs. Douglas
Wiggin Riggs. Mrs. Archer Huntington
and Mrs. Gertrude Anterior, honorary
presidents, and Mrs. Blanche
Schoonmaker Wagstaf, honorary treas.
urer, did sometimes counsel take and
sometimes tea" with the others. Mrs.
Ernest Thompson Seton. secretary OF
the social council, and Mrs. Josephine
Daskam Bacon. Mrs. Marion Cox, Ellen
Glasgow, Mrs. Frank +. Hagemeyer,
Miss Hildegarde hawthorne, Miss Eliz-
abeth Jordan. Miss Elizabeth Mowbray.

Norris, Mrs Charles Alfred Post, OF
Newport; Mrs. Alice Crary Sutcliife,

Boroughs Plotted and Re-

STREET WIDTH THE
GUIDE FOR HEIGHT
Scheme Is Expected to Promote
and Safeguard Real Es-
tate Values.

The first report on the plan for zon-
ing the city and restricting building
height5 was made public yesterday at
a meeting held under the auspices Of
the Advisory Council of the Real Estate
Interests at the rooms OF Merchants
Association.
A commission on building districts
and restrictions, appointed some time
ago BY the Board OF Estimate, after
many months of hard work outlined
the plan. which will in all probability
he submitted for adoption through the
board within few months.
Cyrus c. Miller, former Borourh
President Of The Bronx. presided.
George r. Ford. consultant Of the
boards committee. the drst speaker,
outlined with the aid OF maps the
plan Of how the city buildings should
be limited as to use. size and height.
In tho outlying districts. for instance,
he said the plan called for house
no higher than the street IS vide, 80
that a street of sixty feet width VIII
have on it no house higher than sixty
feet. Nearing the CITY. the plan per-
mits Of n ninety foot house on a sixty
foot street. Then in the city proper
is to be permitted a structure twice
the size Of the width Of the street, and
on the waterfronts and like localities
this is raised to two and half. In
all cases the owner may obtain more
height for his building when he mas the
structure back from the street a GER
tain number Of feet. Similar rules arc
to govern the area of building &C
ording 70 zones, 50 that, for instance,
in "A dwelling section no ono will be
allowed to use every foot of his prop
erty for building.
The speaker emphasized that the
committee had been moved entirely
by considerations of safety, health and
morale in It's deliberations and md
lngs.
Clarence H. Kelsey, of the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, said
that with the possible exception Of the
taxation problem. no question was
more important just now 70 this city
than the one before the board. There
has been, he said, TOO much letting a
man do as ne pleases with his prop
erty" The average owner, he contln-
ued prefers 10 have some kind Of a
control rather than unrestricted use,
realizing that in the end it will mean
much TO him. Picturlng the present
condition OF the real estate market IN
this section he said, 81 cannot see that
immediate improvement which some
people maintain is in sight. As we are
going along now the city 5 committing
suicide, and those in close touch with
the situation know it,"
There followed a general discussion
on the question by those present.

REPUBLIC STEEL
PROFIT S3,5l5,8l9
Unprecedented Prosperity viii
Continue, Says John A.
Topping.

Further evidence Of the unprecedent-
ed prosperity in the iron and steel IN
dustry was furnished yesterday IN the
publication Of the annual report OF the
Republic Iron and Steel Company. This
concern during 1915 showed the
largest profits in its history, the earn
ings exceeding the best previous years
by more than 100000. Gross sales
last year amounted 20 S29,916,22S an
increase of Ss,549,979. Net earnings
available for dividends amounted 20
S3,5l5,S19, the equivalent Of the regu-
lar per cent dividend on the pre-
ferred stock and an additional 6l2 per
cent on the common. This surplus fol
lowed an extraordinary charge for de-
probation Of 100000, which does not
appear in previous annual reports. Had
II not been for this extra deduction, the
surplus for the common would have
been equal to almost per cent.
Total net earnings last year we're
s5,439. 59S, an increase of S3,lOe,926
over 1914. This was increased by
Sls3,3li for interest and dividends on
investments. Deductions for depreci-
alton and mineral exhaustion last year
were s1,237.1s5., and additional ex-
penditures for maintenance and repairs
exceeded s1,647, 900.
Net assets totalled s13,510,7s9, OF
which s3,760,O00 was in cash. Add
tions to surplus for 1915 were S2,32s,-
3le, the total net surplus on Deem
Der 81 standing at s8.354,953. The re-
port showed S27,O00,O0O, spent for new
construction. Production Of finished
and semi-fnished steel for sale TO-
tailed l,O33,39 tons and ingots 1888
l4s tons. Chairman John a. Topping
in the report, said:
"The tonnage Of untitled orders on
, hand December 81. 1915, shows large
gains, compared with preceding SINH
lar periods, the increase being due 70
the unprecedented market conditions
now prevalent. There is no immediate
sign of any recession in sight; in fact
current bookings are now At the maxi
mum, while prices are well above the
record of the last decade. The out.
1 look. therefore. is suggestive Of con
tinued nrosperitV"

DEMANDS REJECTED

say that they consider such action
would be playing into the hands Of
their competitors.
Still another objection made to rec
ognizing the union is the union reg
ulation under which dues shall be col
lected by the company's paymaster and
deducted from the wages Of the work
er. BY this plan "A non-union miner
would automatically become union
maa as soon as he went TO work in the
anthracite mines.
The miners contention that the
present system growing out Of the
contract provisions between miners
and operators is antiquated" Is char
acterized as a misleading statement"
The arrangement, the operators say,
was q part OF the award OF the snthra-
cite commission. which provided for
a board Of Cancellation through the
operation OF which strikes and lock
outs should become unnecessary"
Owners Quote Roosevelt.
Answering the miners contention
that contracts for more than two years
are unfair because "the cost of living
and the cost OF production are ever
changing the operators quote Theo-
dore Roosevelts instructions 70 the
1902 that II "endeavor 70 establish the
relations between employers and wage
Gamers on just and permh-
nent basis and as far as possible 70 do
away with such difficulties IS those

settle"
ITO grant an eight-hour day would in
crease the danger OF coal shortage and
increase the cost Of production, 1t is
commended
The operators believe" the reply
concludes, that differences between
employers and their employees who are
directly affected should be settled by
the interested parties II possible. IL
they cannot agree they believe that the
differences should be adjusted by the
fair and open arbitration provided by
the board Of Cancellation, as established
by the anthracite coal strike commits
sion by which the 36s cases that have
come before 1t have been satisfactorily
adjudicated."

DOCTOR, HOPE GONE,
HAPPY IN MISSION
Ex.British Army Surgeon, Fort
une Gone, Sees Bright Side.

Once British army surgeon, an
honor graduate Of Edinburgh Uni
versity, Paul Ryan came 20 this coun-
try years ago to win his fortune. Now
fifty. wasted from hunger and disease,
and hobbling on crutches which he has
carried for nine years, he was ar
raigned yesterday in the Tombs Court.
He pleaded guilty to d charge Of
begging. Magistrate Cornell released
him in the care Of Superintendent Car
roll Of the Bowcry Mission.
~ don't know what made me beg"
he said. ITS not my way, but every
thing seemed TO go wrong these last
few weeks. | was up against II, as
you say. But Pm an optimIst of op-
iimists. I'm happy Yes. I'm happy,
and when | die IT will be lighting
One thing Ryan would not tell Was
his identity. ITS not what we were,
but what We are" he said. "The past
is gone and irrevocable | am man
Of sorrows and ! know life. My father
left me fortune, but let II so. II
was case Of, 'Ryan's spending his
money. Come on UP, boys My peo-
pie live In England and are well-to-do
now, but I can't write 10 them. This
way, as | am, Id rather face whatever
comes alone"
Then he came TO this country. Until
3 severe attack of illness forced him
20 cease he sang in churches and on
the concert stage. His means Of liveli-
hood gone, matters drifted from bad TO
worse Friends. almost as poor as
himself, kept him alive, until the other
day he was forced to beg. Ryan was
known on the East Side as a temper
ence lecturer. lie has roomed for the
