I. r. Urges Control
Of Relief Funds
He Suggests Bureau at Cap
ital i'm Talk With Kilroe
ON Charity Grafters

A central bureau in Washington to
control collections for war relief was
advocated yesterday by Colonel Thco-
Core Roosevelt, after Z conference with
Assistant District Attorney Kilroe, who
has been in charge of District Attorney
Swann's prosecution Of illegal organ
izers and collectors for patriotic
bazaars. The Colonel said:
II much appreciate your having come
out to see me in this matter, and need
hardly say that I will heartily CO.
operate with you in every way to put
a stop not merely to frauds In connec-
ton with the war relief work but to
the kind Of waste, extravaganza and
profit making which In their sum
amount to diverting from tho charita-
BILE public the money meant for the
sufferers into the pockets OF those who
ostensibly desire to relieve the suf-
1ercrs.
"It would he worth considering
whether we ought not to have CEN
trail bureau in Washington, with branch
agencies In the big cities of the coun-
try. Then no society could be started
until those organizing it and soliciting
the funds got a character certificate
from this bureau, and it would be the
right and duty of the bureau from time
to time, not merely when complaint
was made, but OF. its own initiative as
well. to investigate the inacial man
agement Of every society, so as to find
out exactly the conditions under which
the money was raised, how much was
raised, what representations were made
to the public in raising it, and how
the money was expended OF every
dollar raised fer these purposes all
but g very few cents should be used
for the purposes for which the funds
are collected, and few cents only
should be spent for actual ministerial
work in getting the money to where ii
will serve the erd because of which it
is subscribed"
Detective Mayer yesterday arrested
Robert Miller, of Madison Street
and Edward L. Collier, Of a4 Brant
Place, The Bronx, and detained them
at headquarters pending an investiga-
ton into their right to collect money
in New York for iremcn's benefit tc
be given in Hudson County. New Jer-
sey Mr.. kilroe said both men hae
records as bogus collectors.

Music

A report that Oswald Garrison Vii
lard on Wednesday had offered his res,
lgnation as president of the Philhar-
monic Society to the board of directors
was confirmed by Mr.. Willard at his
home, 179 East Scventy-frst Street, last
night.
Mr.. Willard said in his statement to
the directors that he had accepted the
presidency against his wishes and for
one year only, and now, having over
stayed the time by more than half a
year, relinquished the position, feel
ing that he had accomplished for the
Philharmonic all that was in his power.
Mr.. Willard refused to comment on
the report that his attitude toward the
war had played part In his resigna-
tion.
Impressions of Festival
Mr.. Nicola Laucella, one Of the flute
players in the Philharmonic Orch estra,
was once the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Stoeckel at one of the Norfolk
festivals. In acknowledgment Of the
hospitality he wrote up" (as the re-
porter would say) his experience in a
symphonic impression" entitled
"Whitehouse." This was the novelty
in Josef Stransky's programme at Car
negie Hall yesterday afternoon and the
previous evening.
In this work one hears the musical
temperament consuming sanuHl~Ass ..
the lawn, rushing in out of the rain
and listening to the Growing Of the
rooster. If one accepts tho rule that
composer of programme music may
legitimately write "anything he car
get away WITH" one will breath No
word Of blame against this work, ex-
cept to note that such material is bet.
tor handled in comic spirit than ir
the amiably romantic mood which the
composer has adopted. Forgetting
these refinements Of theory, one may
enjoy Mr.. Laucellas graceful melodit
gift and musical capacity and wish ths
work were not so long.
Stransky Improves
Guiomar Novaes gave an exquisite
reading of Beethoven's G major piano
concerto, keeping her tone low ane
varying it with an endless dellcacy OF
warm color. Mr.. Stransky, conducting
Strauss death and nstiguration,

More Than 400 Machines
Scheduled To Be Put
on Exhibition
To Be Open for a Week
800 Accessory Concerns Have
Booths; Many Trade
Leaders Here

There will be two automobile shows
in town to-day, because the eighteenth
annual exhibition, sponsored by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. throws open its doors at Grand
Central Palace this afternoon. Cover
nor Whitman Is coming down from AL
bany to speak at the formal opening
of the affair. Then folks are free to
wander about and look over the "war
auto show" The exhibition will run
until week from tonight.
More than 400 cars, shown by eighty
six manufacturers. will be on view, pro-
vided that the railroad situation has
let them all get there. Some of the ex-
hibitors yesterday were finding it
hard to get their cars away from
the railroad yards, even when once
they spotted them. Others we're rush
ing around, looking for a stray exhibit
lost in transit. But only few cars
are missing. About 800 accessory and
parts concerns will have exhibitions.
Some of them didn't need to bother
about freight trains. They ;ust loaded
their exhibits into trunks and brought
them through as baggage.
Executives Of many of the motor car
companies got to the city yesterday,
and the hotels are full Of automobile
people. Rooms reserved weeks ago are
being taken up. For those who failed
to get their names down long ago, ac-
commodatons in the hotels frequented
at show time are out of the question.
American made cars are the chief at
traction at the Automobile Salon, and
some among them present striking cx'
amples of good work, both in chassis
and body. For instance, Locomobile
shows roadster Of the disappearing
rear seat type. In this car the real
seats actually do disappear. They folc
down into the back deck, and roll tor
of mahogany strips mounted on leather
is pulled down to conceal them Wher
the rear seats are needed the roll tor
goes up, to disappear behind the from
seats.
Another feature of this car is n re
movable top and side curtains for thu
rear two passengers. Ordinarily there
is no protection against the weathe
for the extras.
An olive drab sedan with steel disl
wheels is striking bit of the Daniel
display. There are also suburban
landaulet in dull blue, roadster il
jet black with tenders and running
gear in old ivory. a five-passenger tour
ing car in deep green with silver
green leather upholstery, and a landa1
brougham in jet black upholstered Il
mouse color velvet. Besides these
striped chassis, finished in dull black
is shown.
A feature of the White cars show
( is that five Of them have bodies bull
from standard designs, and thre
others are custom made bodies by Ru
bay. All are made carefully to tn
requirements and design of the Whit
chassis. and apparently represent care
full selection in materials and yer
painstaking body building. Hand-ham
mcred aluminium over seasoned as
frames goes into the making of thes
bodies. They have been put togethe
with the idea of avoiding lavishnes
and aim to show that comfort and con
venience need not mean anything bu
strict simplicity.
