BABY OFFERS COAT
CLOTHE BELGIAN
Garments for Refugees Begin
to Pour In.

The sore need of little children in Bel
GUM, some OF whom are wearing gar
ments made OF old window curtains or
Eurlap and shoes fashioned from bits OF
cloth, reaches the hearts of even tiny
children In America who are told about
1t. One such child, a four-year-ol girl,
appeared yesterday in the Red Cross
collecting station at Lexington avenue
and Fifteenth street, her fat little hand
grasping a postcard which represented
Father Knickerbocker taking a coat
from one of his children to give 1t to a
ragged little one in occupied Belgium.
"Muvver told me about the poor
babies and I want to div them my coat"
she lisped. Solemnly she peeled off her
pretty white corduroy coat and laid 1t
on the counter. The Red Cross workers
advised Miss Four-Year-Old to consult
Ter mother. So baby trotted to her
mother. who proved to be outside. The
two returned, and not only the white
corduroy coat but a whole bundle Of
things was their offering.
Children's garments are needed most,
for the tales of those who have seen ref
ugee families out of Belgium tell sad
tales of the shivering. half naked little
ones. Somehow they are fed. but the
clothing is a problem.
Yesterday was the first really big day
OF the clothing drive, Four hundred spe-
cial calls were received by the New
York county chapter of the Red Cross
and all the trucks used by the chapter
were kept busy. More than 1000 pounds
OF remnants Of cloth were received. One
donation was of twelve heavy fleece
lined caps from an engineer on the New
York Central. Several persons sent
money. A. L. Beckstein, SO Water
street. sent 500.

Anthony Amendment Will
Probably Be Passed Before

The passage OF the suffrage amend
ment by the Senate within the next few
months. probably before Christmas, was
confidently predicted yesterday by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait on her return from
Washington. Behind closed doors at III
Madison avenue tho board Of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association held
a meeting and formulated plans for get
ting tho necessary number Of votes. but
when the members came forth from the
conference their lips were dumb. >.
I'VE know what we are going to do.
but we're not shouting II from the house
tops" said Mrs. Gait. I'VE don't intend
1t to be known till it's done. But tell
you that the present Senate will pass the
Susan b. Anthony amendment"
Mrs Gait had several things to say

ment that the anti-suffrage women OF
New York would take care 10 offset with
treir votes the threatened reprisals of

| tives and to GUST our enemies We don't
condemn Wadsworth because he voted

shows that he is not At to represent his

quiesce Senator Wadsworth is in.

A man who SO lacks perception is not I'll

dictionary. and, moreover, he has refused
to be guided by his State, which has de
clared for suffrage. II we can't trus
him on this we can't trust him on any
thing. and that Ia why we would no

After fling Senator Wadsworth away
las n politician Mrs Gait said a few
words on President Wilson as a state3
man.
| a whatever his motives were in aG
dressing the Senate on suffrage | az
confident they were not political, she
said. "Mr. Wilson has the vision to 81,

MAYOR IS ANGERED
BY BRONX PARKWAY
Comptroller Censures Capital
Issues Committee.

Mayor Hylan's antipathy 10 the Bronx
Parkway Commission and the New York
Central Railroad was limited. at the
Board of Estimate meeting yesterday,
when a request from the Bronx board
for an issue OF S225,000 in corporate
stock was received. The money Is wanted
to improve properties the commission
has acquired.
When Comptroller Craig said that the
Federal Capital Issues Committee had
granted approval to such an issue while
the War Priorities Board had refused
material for the construction OF new
schools the Mayor broke in, saying:
II am going to write letter to Presi-
dent Wilson and call his attention TO this
Bronx Parkway Commission. Here We
are unable to get the privilege Of brid-.
ing schools to house our children, yet this
commission Ia allowed TO go ahead and
beautify property mostly in Westchester
county running along the line OF the
New York Central 81
az the facts are as here stated" de-
clared President Bruckner of The Bronx,
1t is an outrage. That il all l can say
Later in the day the Comptroller wrote
scathing letter TO the Capital Issues
Committee. In which he said:
las the work of the Bronx Parkway
Commission is the most non-essential
unnecessary and superfiuous work that
any one has sought to do during the war
am wholly unable to understand the
action of your committee In giving the
approval In question"
The Board OF Estimate notified the
Union Railway Company that Its con-
tract with the city for n line along AM
sterdam and Magic avenues and Dyck-
man street from 207th street to the right

Hudson had been forfeited because or

RECITAL SEASON.
OPENS AEOLIAN
Frank Sheridan, Pianist, Is
Heard-Gives Chopin
Programme. :.

, The recital season was opened at
Aeolian Hall last evening by Frank
Sheridan, pianist. He was the first OF
the long procession OF pianists who will
move slowly through the seven months
Of the musical year. playing all types Of
music. Some. like Mr.. Sheridan. will
avoid possible controversies By omitting
from their programmes all works by
German or Austrian masters, while
others will cling to the faith that Bach
and Beethoven belong to no country, but
to the world.
There will be every possible grade OF
merit and demerit in the series Medioc-
rity will be foremost, for II Is indeed
seldom that a pianist appears. who has
no redeeming quality. Talent will often
glimmer through haze of uncertain
technic and more uncertain conception.
while genius will continue to be as rare
as the tabled Jewel in the toad's head.
And too often immature, artistic. under
standing and undisciplined beidness will
publish themselves in amazing bursts OF
dubious originality. .-
Mr.. Sheridan proved to be a pianist
Of some accomplishments His tone was
always beautiful and natural and his
which few players now come before a
public In the technical department Mr..
Sheridan's chief shortening was fire.
quent want OF clarity. Blurred outlines
were foo common, and while 1njudicious
pedalling was a factor In producing
them lack OF correctly placed accent had
almost as much TO do with the results
Rhythmic incisiveness was assuredly not
one OF the distinctive features of the
young mans playing. But good rhythm.
as most musicians know, is scarce.
The players programme opened with
group of short Chopin numbers, fol-
lowed by the same masters r fiat minor
sonata. which thus had the FIRST OF many
hearings. In these compositions the
pianist showed a keen desire TO give
readings, and this was especially the
case in the c sharp minor scherzo In
the middle passage OF This Mr.. Sheridan
was much too original. 1t is n virile
work, but he made it anRmic. However,
this pianist is still young and ripper
years may bring a larger and truer musi-
cal vision.
