LET Republicans Come
and See U.s." Sentiment of
Executive Committee.
HUGHES A MYSTERY,
SO HE'S RULED OUT
T.R. a Hit In Philadelphia-Call
for National Convention Out
Week from Tomorrow.

The executive committee Of tho Fro
gressive National Committee met yes
terday and whooped it up for Colonel
Roosevelt M a Presidential candidate.
There WAS some discussion OF Justice
Charles r. Hughes as the candidate 10
bring the 1.-TWO wings Of the Repubii-
can party" together again, but the pre-
vailing sentiment was that no one knew
lust where Justice Hughes stood on
pertinent issues, and therefore he was
not particularly desirable from the
Progressive point Of view.
George W. Perkins echoed the senu-
ment of the meeting when no said;
we have man you know. The Re
publicans haven't. Let them come ana
see US"
Another committeeman quoted a line
from Popes Essay on Man;
we first endure, then pity, then en-
brace"
Apparently there was no disparaging
reference to the Colonel intended In
the quotation. II was given with
dash of humor. In the verse from
which IL was taken the author is SPEAK
ing of vice, ana says:
Vice Is g monster of so frightful mien
As TO be mated needs but TO be seen;
Yet seen TOO oft. familiar with her face,
We first endure. then pity, then en-
brace
There was nc installing that the
committeeman were 1or the Colonel
right up 10 the time when the Repub'
Leans might be able to trot out can
didate who would appeal to the Bull
Moose. There even appeared TO be
some doubt rs TO their willingness 10
accept any substitute for their leader.
They all talked as If they had dlscov-
cred an increase in T. X. sentiment
recently. Some Of the people who
might have thought the Colonel was not
sincere IN 1912 were beginning to think
he was sincere now. they said
KN-Mayor Blankenburg. OF Philadel-
phia. called up Mr.. Perkins during the
committee meeting and said that Colo
mel Roosevelt was received with great
enthusiasm in the Quaker City Thurs
National Conference on immigration
and AUGMENTATION. taking as his sub
ject. Fear God and Take Your Part.
TIE speech and the presence OF the
Colonel had stirred the citizens Of Phil
aGclphia TO n measure Of enthusiasm
which they had not experienced for a
long time. Mr. Blankenburg said.
The executive committee decided 10
issue the formal call for the Progres-
sive national convention week from
tomorrow. The convention, as has
been announced. will be held In Chi
cago on June 7. the same date as the
Republican convention.
The committee who attended yes
terday's meeting were George ". Per

Of Ohio; Harold Ickes, Of Illinois; Her

NEW $25O.000 LIBRARY
IS GIFT TO AMHERST
.67 Alumnus's Generosity Dis
closed at Association Dinner.

Amherst College has received grit
Of $3.50, 900 for a new library on her
campus. This announcement was made
last night at the Hotel Biltmore, where
sons Of the New England college Of oil
ages and classes were gathered Mt the
annual dinner Of the Amherst Associa-
ton Of New York. The loudest shout
Of an unusually loud evening was raised
when George A. Plimpton. '67, president
Of the board of trustees, told OF the
gift.
The giver's name was not disclosed.
lie is not an Amherst man. but he had
brother in the class Of '67. and II IS
in his memory that the building viii
be erected. Contract for the design ~
already in the hands of McKim, Mead
e. White, and work upon the library
will be begun in the spring.
Next TO the above announcement, the
address Of Governor Whitman. an Am
herst alumnus. awoke the greatest en-
thusiasm OF the evening. He pleaded
for the entrance Of more college men
into politics.
"Ofice seekers of certain type he
said, "are accused OF placing money
above love of country, yet men who.
with the advantages of a college edu-
cation. refuse 10 accept the public post
proffcred them lay themselves equally
open to the accusation"
Among the other speakers introduced
by Dwight ". Morrow, the toastmaster
were George d. Pratt, Conservation
Commissioner Of New York; Burgess
Johnson and the Rev. Dr. George Har-
ris, former president of the college.

New Congress Issues
Clog Moose Alliance

Washington, Jan. 2l.-The alliance OF
Progressive Republicans, news Of which
became public here to-day, has caused
little worry among the old line leaders,
chiefly because they are confident that
the Progressives will not attempt 10
use it to cause trouble inside the party.
The demands which il is understood the
alliance has in mind for recognition at
the convention and in the platform. the
leaders say, are not likely TO cause diff
fculty, as they never have considered
any adjustment that would not involve
concessions from both sides.
"Of course, the alliance cannot DOM
mate the party" said one leader, but
do not believe IL intends 10 try. Most
of the issues on which the 1912 cam
paign was fought are dead now. for the
time at least, and there IS no unity
among the allies on the main Issues
which seem 10 be coming 10 the front
for this ycar-certaInly no unity on
any issues on which the majority OF
them disagree with US. Nor has any
one that | know OF any intention of
trying to submerge that element OF the
party. do not believe that the move
ment will have any serious results
perhaps not any results at all.
Other party leaders pointed out that
there was n practical agreement now
among all factions as to the candidate
who will be Justice Hughes, If he will
run. Both sides have agreed that he
Is the ideal man and, in spite Of his
refusal 70 let his name go on the bal
lots. they have not given up hope that
unsOught and by a practically unanl-
nous vote he will accept II he does, IL
is admitted that there will be no fight
of consequence in the convention.
The allies have not completed their
organization, and have found some
difficulty in agreeing on any joint ac-
ton touching legislation. While they
agree on general terms, there Is wide
diversity on the way the general poll
cies should be- carried out, and tho
alliance represents almost every shade
Of opinion on the subjects Immediately
before Congress. One subject only 80
support OF the rural credits bill-has
been even tentatively agreed on.
The political end of the alliance
seems 70 be working better, and it Is
reported to-day that under the agree
ment TO have only one Progressive
candidate in each state Senator Cum
Minis will withdraw from North Caro-
lima. leaving La Toilette to fight II out
with the old-line candidate there. SO
far the question Of candidates. has not
arisen regarding any other state.

When the opera house in Antwerp
was razed by German shells in August

Henri de Rudder packed up his violin
and babe farewell 10 Belgium. With
his wife Elizabeth and their five-year-
old daughter Madeline, lie came to New
York.
Discouraged because he could not
find an opening in any Of the musical
organizations here. Henri decided 20
play for the crowds i'm the streets HIS
wife accompanied him on the cello.
Little Madeline. with her goldcn-o~own
curls and blue eyes, was the most I'M
portant member Of the trio. with her
toy wagon she went through the crowds
of pedestrians, collecting money IN a
tin cup. They lived in a small fat on
the third floor back at 1853 Columbus
Avenue.
Two weeks ago they were playing on
Broadway near the theatre district
when a big limousine slowed down be
side them. "Oh. what q beautiful little
girl" said a handsomely dressed WON

ment 10 stroke Madeline's curls. After
she had listened to the de Rudders
play she handed Henri card

sure 10 bring the child" she said, and
then rolled away in the automobile.
Henri gazed at she card. Mrs.

the de Rudders did not have dinner

Magistrate Groehi in the mems night
court last night, with his wife detained
as witness. Once again the fairy
protector interviewed. Agent Sherwood
told the magistrate that Mrs. Gould re-
quested that the prisoner be discharged.
She guaranteed that she would take
care Of the family and see that they
did not violate the law again. Her
request was granted.

yes, she wants my little girl ne
said. "She will get me job IN an

Belgium to Professor Backau."
Mrs. George II. Gould last night ex-
planned that she offered to take the
little girl into her home and care for
her until De Rudder recuperated his
resources.
They simply idolize their child"
said Mrs. Gould. "She is a little ray
of sunshine and is a blessing TO these
poor people in distress. ! believe it is
for this reason that they did not
promptly accept my offer TO take the
little one into ~ home. They would
