CrutcIl and Chair Races
Dash for Nurses Most Popular
Event of Base Hospital
No. l Celebration

On crutches and in wheel chairs the
cconvalescent patients of Base Hospital
No. l, on Gun Hill Road, yesterday
competed in the queerest field games
New Workers ever have seen. Several
thousand persons gathered on the hos
pltal grounds to witness the contests.
for the most part, the spectators were
relatives of the injured troops. who
gave the winners a hearty cheer.
Many of the convalescents who had
sent in their entries for the crutch
race OF 20 yards were unable to com
pete, because the phi yscians in charge
feared their weakened limbs could not
stand the strain. Those who did com
pete made brave showing, and when
anthony Montemarano hoped over the
line winner he was given an ovation.
Henri Werelman rolled his chair across
the line first in the wheel chair race.
1t was the events opened for army
nurses that attracted most attention
among the patients. Each boy had his
tavorlte nurse, and if encouragement
from the side lines would have count
cd in the winning the 5O-yard contest
would have been a dead heat. This
event was won by Miss E. r. Leventon.
The prizes. which were distributed
by Lieutenant Colonel George a. Tray
lor, we're given by the Red Cross. Ma
lor N. Joseph Slicklen, Of the Red
Cross, directed the games, and was as
sisted by Harry O'Gradv, of the
Knights of Columbus, and the Rev Dr.
Thinner, Of the Jewish Welfare Board
These organizations also donated free
smokes, ice cream and lemonade for
the men after the contests.

Eamon De Valera, "President Of the
IrlFh Republic" will deliver his first
public address here Thursday evening.

he will unveil statue Of Robert
Emmet and address the convention of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians. who
Will be in session that week.
DR.. De Valera motored to a seashore
resort yesterday with a party of
friends. Asked how he enjoyed the
day, he said:
II joined the people of America in
ceieEratlng their independence and ]
nope the people Of Ireland may cele-
prate their independence at an early
date"
President de Valera continued:
speaking at public meeting q
speaker likened Home Rule to q
carrot that had been dangied before
the eyes of donkey, but which it was
never allowed to get. Time after time
the Irish people seemed about to Grasp
the carrot of Home Rule, but the driver
OF the donkey ever kept it temptingly
out of reach
ireland has now wakened up and
refuses to play the donkey any longer,
rot even for the sugar-coated carrot
ct Sir Horace Plunkctt's dominion
Home Rule. This new move by England
will convince no one in Ireland It has
been killed in its cradle. One hundred
years of broken pledges, a hundred
coercion acts. the population of Ire
land cut in half, martial law, unspeak-
able atrocities, trial by JurJ abolished
muzzled press, and a Iicencious SOL
dlery loosed on the people ls. the sum
total Of England's acts in IrelsAd dur
ing the past hundred years.
ireland has arraigned England in
the dock before t. world and asks the
peoples of the world to give the repre-
sentative of Ireland an opportunity for
placing before them the case of Ire

Oldtime Friends Gather
Other oldtimers arrived early this
morning, and at o'clock, in q special
train over the Chicago & Northwestern
the special committee of The Roosevelt
Memorial Association, headed by Major
General Leonard Wood, chairman and
orator of the day, arrived. Besides
General Wood the members Of this
committee included:
Judge William P: Bynum, Of North
CarolinG William W. Cocks, of Flor
ida; Mrs. Medill Mccormick, Of ILL.,
nois; Mrs. c. A. Severance, Of Mime
sofa, and Patrick Sullivan, Of \Wyom-
ing.
Large delegations from New York
and Chicago were also in the party to
witness the dedication ceremonies.
Shortly after the noon hour, under
skies that threatened rain, the long
procession up the road to the summit
Of Mount Theodore Roosevelt began.
The road, newly constructed from an
old, impossible wagon trail, winds
picturesquely for three and half
miles through wooded canyons and
cottage half hidden under foliage, TO
the windswept openness of a wide
ridge, where young pines and masses
of wild flowers make scene of quiet
loveliness. The lowering skies had no
effect in dampending tx ardor Of the
occupants of the hundreds of auto
mobiles and other vehicl,s that fol-
owed the Knights Of Pythias band
slowly and impressively up "the long,
long trail"
Were "His Own People"
No friend and follower of Theodore
Roosevelt could watch that slow pro-
cession without feeling lump rise in
ms throat. These men and women, more
than most Americans, were his own
people. With them he had shared the
joys and the privations Of the from
tier; from them he had learned self
reliance and the power of quick deci-
sion; fer them he had fought ignor-
ance and greed. Now he was dead,
and his people were winding up the
long trail to tell their fellow coun-
trymen that they remembered him,
and to convey to their children and
children's children through countless
generations som ething of the glow
that Theodore Roosevelt had lighted
in their hearts.
There was shower and q bit 81
sunshine; then another shower, but
unhlndered, the friends and followers
OF the great American gathered about
the monument on Mount Theodore
Roosevelt to pay tribute to his men,
Ory.

Artists Wife Sues
For $1,000 for
Loss of Affection
Mrs. Edouard j. Steicher
Brings Action Against
Miss Marion HI. Beckett:
Story of Alleged Pursuit

The story Of Mrs. Clara 8. Steichen's
efforts to hold the love Of her artist
husband, Edouard ]. Steichen, Of New
York and Paris, Is told in papers filed
IN Mrs. Steichen's suit in the Supreme
Court against Miss Marion n. Beckett,
daughter of the late Surrogate Beckett
Of this city, from whom she inherited
a large fortune.
Mrs. Steichen is suiag for 5000 600,
charging alienation. The defendant and
Mrs Steichen, who has been honored
several times by the French govern
ment, are said to be in France Coun-
sci for Mrs. Steichen declined to reveal
her whereabouts, although it is under
stood she is in New York City
Mrs. Steichen alleges that Miss
Beckett began to lay siege to the love
of the painter by posing as his model.
Later, according to Mrs. Steichen, she
opened studio in the Latin Quarter
of Paris Cor the express purpose of
entertaining him.
The plaintiff alleges that she re-
ceived the defendant into her home
here, believing she was a friend, and
accepted her ministrations when ill,
only to discover later that Miss Beck
cit had more than a friendly interest
in the artist.
Mrs. Steichen further alleges that
the defendant pursued her husband
from Europe to this country when no
made his annual visits here for the
purpose of receiving commissions from
wealthy New York patrons. Finally,
Mrs. Steichen alleges, when she con-
fronted the defendant and warned her
to remain away from the artist, Miss
Beckett pleaded for forgiveness and
Steichen and her eldest daughter, de-
claring the picture would strengthen
her purpose to keep the artist out OF
her life.
Later, Mrs. Steichen, who complied
with this request, alleges, her rival
failed to keep to her resolution,
frequently received the artist in her
suite at a hotel in Voulgans, France,
and accompanied him on various trips
in this city and to Vermont, where
Miss Deckett's mother lives.
Il have made every concession pos
sible for wife to make, but failed
against the wiles of this defendant"
declares Mrs. Steichen.
"The defendant wickedly alienated
the affections of my husband by err
ploying cunning and deceitful meas
ures designed to attract his love-" de-
clares the plaintiff. "She pretended
devoted friendship to me and wormed
her way into my h.re rs a trusted
guest. She also bestowed pretended
affections upon my eldest daughter,
and when I was i'll came to the house
with an offer to assume charge of tho
household"

ties where big county ticket is to be

The Manhattan Republicans are not
taking any less interest in the primar-
les than their Brooklyn partisans. AL
ready ex-senator William M. Bennett
has given them something to think
over by formally launching his bid Tor
the nomination Of the presidency of
the Board of Aldermen-a city-wide
important position to be filled this
fall.
Outside Of the nominations for AS
semhy and the Board of Aldermen, the
only places to be filled in Manhattan

as equivalent to an election.

represented the Seventh District in the

publican women are carrying on.
