Tries Out Links
At Gloucester
Halls Mayfower Cruise to
Become Guest Of Colo
mel House

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept. TO-
President Wilson, who is taking brief
cruise on the Presidential yacht May
flower, had an ideal holiday to-day.
The weather was clear, with a warm sun
and bracing breeze from the north
west, when the President and Mrs. Will
son came ashore here in launch and
Joined Colonel and Mrs. +. NJ. House,
whose summer home is nearby at Mag
no!ia. Mr.. Wilson brought his golf
sticks 20 try out the course Of the
Country Club at Manchester and
motored TO the links.
Colonel House did not play GOLF, but
the President had round Of nine holes
with Randolph Tucker. the coloners
sOn-in-law, and with Hugh Wallace, a
friend of the House family. The score
was not announced. In view of the
known wish of the President to have
as much quiet and secluson as posi-
bic, there was no gallery except the
members of the party.
President Is Photographed
After golf the President and Mrs.
Wilson had luncheon at the House sum-
mer Home, and there the President met
the newspaper correspondents. With
Colonel House he smilingly consented
TO be photographed. Then, accom-
panied by his hosts and the usual
guard of Secret Service men, he and
Mrs. Wilson had tWo-hours' automo-
lille outing along the north shore.
The party attracted no more atten-
tion than hundreds Of other tourists,
not even the policemen along the way
recognizing the President until he got
involved in traffic blocks. where the ac-
tivity Of the Secret Service escort drew
the notice of the officers.
Going 20 Salem the President visited
the old Witch House and the House OF
Seven Gables. familiar through Haw-
thorne's novel. Later other points Of
picturesque and historic interest along
the coast were visited. when the Pres
ident finally returned TO the wharf 20
board his launch his eyes were bright,
and obviously he was enjoying his hol-
iday hugely.
Unhampered by Crowds
Throughout the day the President
was allowed 10 take his outing unham-
pered BY crowds. The largest gather
ing 20 greet him was on his return
from the afternoon automobile ride.
when a few hundred fishermen and
summer residents waited at the wharf
They gave him hearty cheer as he
walked down the landing. and he re-
sponded with smiles and bows.
IL the erening Colonel and Mrs.
House. with Mr.. and Mrs. Randolph
Tucker, boarded the Mayfower 10 dine
with the President.

u. S. May Yet Own
Seaside Park Site,
Says Bird S. Coler
Former Controller Doubts
That City Has Full Claim
to Rockaway Land

According to Bird S. Coler, former
Controller and President of the Bor-
ough of Brooklyn, Seaside Park, for
which the city paid si.350,000, may sf-
ter all belong to the United States. Mr..
Golfer told Assistant District Attorneys
Black and Kilroe yesterday that in 1909
he was told by Federal Judge Thomas
7. Chatfeld, of Brooklyn, that the gov
eminent had title to the land.
81 went to Washington" said Mr..
Coler, with surveyor and maps Of
the property, and laid the matter be-
fore George ". Wickershsm, then At
torney General, and he was of the opin-
ION that the title held by the Neponsit
Realty Company was not clear.
Board Dropped Negotiations
when the matter of purchase came
up before the Board OF Estimate, |
asked William NJ. Greye, vice-president
Of the Neponsit company, about the
title lie said the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company guaranteed it, but an
investigation showed that there was an
exception TO any claim held or made
by the government of the United
States That caused the Board Of
Estimate to break off all negotiations,
said Mr.. Golfer.
Mr. Wickersham yesterday assured
the District Attorney that the city's
title to the land was absolute. lie said
the government had right TO compro-
misc the suit which was brought
against the Neponsit Realty Company
20 establish title.
Mr. Coler affirmed yesterday that the
government had no right TO make such
a compromise. inasmuch as granting
land to individuals can only be done by
act Of Congress.
Inquiry will be made this week by
the District Attorney into the reasons
for an issue of debenture bonds by the
Neponsit Realty Company amounting
10 several hundred thousand dollars
after the city had guaranteed TO buy
the Seaside Park site. The Realty As
sociates took quarters of the
issue. and Remsen Johnson, president
Of the Neponsit company, took the
other quarter. That ratio OF purchase
represents the ratio of ownership in
the Neponsit company's stock. When
the city psid for the park the bonds
were retired

Suffragists Ready
 to Help If Needed
 For Work of Nation

(News From Suffrage Headquarters,
 Hartford.)
 A new realization of the citizenship and civic usefulness of women is com ing to many of the men in the politi- cal life of this state through the ac- tion of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage Association in mobiliZing it's members for service at the present crisis. The old saying that the place of the woman is in the home has been made entirely out of date in Europe, where governments and newspapers have implored and commanded the women to come out of their homes and present themselves for service in fac- tories, offices, hospitals and other points of duty. In this country it is becoming evident that the service of the women can also be utilized in time of crisis, and it is also becoming svi- dent that it is the women who are already organized, who are accustom- ed to the ideas of disciplined service, who will be most useful to the nation in time of need.
 The old fashioned woman in the home would certainly not have been ready to respond to the call for help in the prompt and efficient manner that the suffragists have shown in their work during the last week. The offer of the service of the association, with it's staff of paid and unpaid work CTS, was made by Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn on Thursday of last week. The governors answer expressing his readiness to accept the offer was handed to Mrs. Hepburn on Friday morning, and last Monday there was the first call for service. A force of workers were already trained, and certainly no backwardness in taking up the work, that was offered them.
 It will be difficult, after the State has thus accepted the services of the woman, to plead that women are not qualified to vote, or to plead that wo- mans place Is in the home and women have not time to vote. Several of the old arguments which still found san- ti-suffragists to voice them, have been forever smashed in Connecticut by this new move of the Connecticut Wo- man Suffrage Association.

 STOCK MARKET >>~~~@~%

STOCK MARKET whoa-n
 New York, Feb. 17.--Opening.-F'ur- ther covering of shorts contracts was suggested by the frn1ness of leading stocks at todays opening. United 1tates Steel, coppers, Shippings and various specialties were higher by substantial fractions to point, and railroads also hardened under lead of New York Central, Union Pacific, Reading and New Haven. These were balanced in part by declines in the motor group, International Nickel American Cotton Oil and Cuba Cane Sugar Equipments were in demand, Air Brake advancing four points. Dealings were mainly in small lots, but activity increased as prices hard ened.
 Continued progress was shown by today's two hour session of the stock market, most of the leaders, irS1us- trials and shipping, gaining one to three points. The dealings were broader, this condition resulting large ly from buying in of short contracts. Railroads participated in the rise, with equipments and coppers. Among the few exceptions to the upward trend were Beet Sugar and American Snuff, the latter losing 12 points. The closing was strong. Sales were esti- mated at 300,00O shares.
 Bonds were irregular

Final Reports to Be
 Heard on Campaign of
 Protective Association

Final reports will be made for the financial campaign of the Bridgeport Protective association at 3:3O o'clock Tuesday when Mrs. Walter S. Wilmot, the campaign treasurer will again open her house for a campaign teas Every worker and every leader and members of the board are expected to attend to hear of the success which has been met in the city. Many manufacturers have already respond ed and others are being approached so that their contributions may be an- nounced at the tea Tuesday.
 The large number of women who have devoted the last fortnight in the canvass of the city has been very con- scientious in reaching each house. If by chance the worker has been un- able to reach individuals they may mail their contribution direct to the campaign treasurer. The home at 591 Myrtle avenue and the efficient women in charge meet a long felt need in the city. It was organized be- fore the demands of the war boom This is the beginning of the third years work. Through the last year it has met the tremendous drains made by the abnormal conditions in the city.
 When a woman or girl has fallen under the strain of the work, when she must have hospital treatment, then needs home care during conval- essence, the association has extended such hospitality. When the little home has been broken up throughout, the home has given the temporary shelter.
 The workers who have been about the city have not alone asked for sub scriptions which will also be member ship in the association but they have carried everywhere the literature telling of the work. The people will know where to send the woman need ing protection, shelter, food or ad- vice and will support the work in the future.

\ DREAM OF !. GREAT RICHES
 UHUHE HB UEH9EUIZA
(By w. J. Peck.)


 e-s@A cartoon came into the office to- day which is an eloquent summary of the get-rich-quick argument. Its point is to depict the thrill which : comes when the young man receives his first batch of gold-mine literature. '% In the picture, young Ephriam is shown in his dingy four-d -dollar-a-week room sitting under the gas jet, on his trunk, his knees crossed. He has a mad and pencil; as he smokes his pipe, he works out this fascinating prob lem:
 Shares in the Golden Glow can now be bought for 50 cents apiece. Eph. has saved $83, which is in the savings bank. If he will buy 166 shares of Golden Glow, how much will he make? Then into the dream of great riches plunges young Ephriam:
 The Golden Glow people say that the stock is bound to go up to $500 . share within two years. All right, what's 166 times $5002 Just $S3,- O0O1a thousand for one-whee! And that figure doesn't include the quar- terly dividends of 65 per cent, that the Company is pretty sure to pay. V. Eph. means to be conservative when he sells out-invest his $S3,000 so as to return 6 per cent. That will bring t$4,9S0 a year, s415 a month or $103.75 a week. All in two years.
 Then Eph. will go and buy himself an automobile and fur coat. He will strut into the office where he toiled fer twelve a week-and won't the oth or fellows be envious!
 The get-rich-quick vision is glo rious. It is hard to beat the promo ter's sucker bait as hasheesh for the hopeful. It is the nature of venture some youth to taste, but safety and per cent" must be his regular pre- 1cription for the thrift that sticks. For 1t is just about as certain as the suns rising that the Golden Glow mine will yield no profits for it's stockhold- ers No scheme that promises, huge returns to the casual investor is worth . thought.
