Former President Extolled
Anew as Memorial at
Columbia Is Formally
Opened to the Public
Manuscripts on View
Cowboy Outfit Given to
Major Butt, Titanic Vic
tim, Among the Relics

81 loved Roosevelt because he was
always neighborly, always friendly, al
ways interested in good things and al
ways an inspiration. l never heard a
word from him that tended downward.
He was ever looking forward"
1t was thus that Hamlin Garland,
novelist and dramatist, spoke with the
inner knowledge of intimate friend
ship, at the official opening of the
Roosevelt Memorial Exhibit in Avery
Hall, Columbia University, last night.
A distinguished gathering of inter
ested friends and patrons of the ex-
hibit attended the brief ceremony
which formally opened to the public
the collection of trophies, art treas
ures souvenirs, letters and books illus
trative of the life of typical Ameri-
can. In reality the ceremony marked
the initial stages of the Americaniza-
tlon campaign inaugurated at Columbia
University.
Mr.. Garland's talk was largely in
formal and anecdotal.
Secret of 7. RS Power
"In my Judgment" he declared "the
secret of Roosevelt's power lay in his
having discovered early in life the
his mind upon anything he did it with
his whole heart and soul He read
with complete absorption. Most peo-
pie read to forget. He read to remem-
ber.
HE was not particularly interested
in music as 1 remember him, although
l can recall him initiating the roar of
lion and the various cries of animals
with marvellous similitude."
Nicholas Murray Butler said that
the memorial exhibit was planned not
only to commemorate the lifework
of great man, but was for the build
ing up of American principles and
ideals, of American government and
life. There was need for renewal of
faith and rebuilding of civilization.
No better way to bend its energies
toward the development and study of
Americanism had suggested itself to
Columbia University than the collec-
Lock of LincoIn's Hair
One of the most interesting Of the
exhibits is a ring with a lock Of Abra-
ham Llncoln's hair, presented by John
Hay, former Secretary of State, with
the suggestion that Colonel Roosevelt
wear it on his inaugural day.
There is a complete cowboy outfit
worn by Colonel Roosevelt in his
plainsman days, which he later gave
to his military aid, Major Archibald
W. Butt, who was lost on the Titanic
The Teddy bear idea, forever asso-
ciated with the late President, is illus
trated by a picture Of Roosevelt march
ing through the gates of the University
of Cambridge, England, with a crowd
of students who had placed Teddy
bear in his cap.
The manuscripts and letters, which
are voluminous, constitute a compre-
hensive diary Of the life of Roosevelt
The manuscript of the speech he de-
livered in Milwaukee the night he was
shot is shown, together with the spec
tacle case which he carried.
The exhibition is to be open to the
public from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Lee

velt with moving pictures will be given
twice daily, at 1880 p. m. and $3.50 D. m.

Cohalan dismissed yesterday the com
plant in suit to set aside conway
ances of real setate made by Reginald
Ronalds to Mildred Ronalds, his wife
The suit was brought by State Sen.
ator James A. Foley as receiver in pro.
ceedings of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany. Ronalds was an accommodst;on
maker of note for $242. 600 which h.
and five others gave to the Gusrantv
Trust Company. The company oh.
tanned judgment for S1S3,9l4 against
the makers of the note and the ra.
ceiver was appointed to forward tha
process of collection.
The suit was brought on the allepaa'
ground that the conveyances vera
made considerably in advance of the
protesting of tn note. but in fraud of
the creditors and without considera-
ton. Justice Cohalan said in his de-
cision: Wv
THE conveyanses were made for a
'Ai"aoic WIZ dlioH j lie c0nSldera-
tlon was the agreement of Mildrad
Combs to marry Reginald Ronalds and
the agreement was carried out bv the
of the marriage. It fol.
lows that the conveyances were not
nade without consideration, as there
is no consideration in the law more
highly regarded than that of promise
to marry not yet performed.
The intent of Reginald Ronalds and
the object of the conveyances were to
obtain Mildred Ronalds as his wife
In her testimony before trial Mildres
Ronalds stated that she had obtained
a divorce from her former husband
that the custody of her infant son had
been awarded by the court to her
former husbands mother, VIII was in
wealthy circumstances, and that to oh.
tain possession of her boy she had TO

DIR. kirchwey Reports Twice
(. as Many Situations as
: Feminine Applicants;
Two Men for Each Place
ReplacementsNot inFavor
Many Corporations Refuse to
! Dismiss War Workers to
Make Room for Fighters

4 Added evidence that women who tooh
the places of men called to war have
permanently supplanted the men ir
many industries, thus making it diff.
cult for returning soldiers to regain
their old jobs, was disclosed yesterday
in figures compiled by the United
States Employment Service.
DR.. George w. Kirchwey, state di-
rector of the service, showed that fol-
the first week of May:
Men-2,47 discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines applied for jobs. Only
1,4s5 got work.
Women-1,663 women applied for
jobs. The demand was for 2,871
women workers. There were almost
two jobs for every applicant.
Won't "Fire" Women Workers
s "These figures illustrate clearly the
extent of woman's invasion of industry
due to the war and the difficulty which
our returning fighters are encounter
ing when they try to regain the jobs
they left to fight for Uncle Sam," said
Dr.. Kirchwey.
' Many corporations told DR.. Kirchwey
they would not discharge women en-
ployes to make room for returning SOL
diers. Officials of the Metropolitan
hife Insurance Company said yester-
day that they took on 200 women as
clerks during the war.
"Of course we are not going to dis
miss them," an official said. s'They
have made good. But we are taking
back all men who entered the service" !"
Are women as efficient as men 2" he
was asked.
Receive Smaller Wages
"They are as efficient in what they
do, but not as efficient as to volume
of work. They are paid accordingly.
A woman clerk who took a mans job
paying $25 a week receives $40. AS
her efficiency increases her pay is
raised"
The Unemployment Bureau, sos Pearl
Street, which is cooperating with the
government service, is making an effort
to get jobs for wounded soldiers. An
employer who wanted a watchman tele-
Shoned, "Send us wounded men. It
IS a good sitting down job" Another
employer wrote, "Send US a one-legged
stenographer. He can sit down all
day. Pay $25 week"

''Falsehood!" Cries
0 Opponent of Mayor
At Market Hearing
W. ]. McElheny Refuses to
Apologize for Retort to
Hylan's Charge of Mo-
nopoly in Food Supply

"You state falsehood when you say
we control the food of the city," thun-
dered w. j. McElheny, president of the
Fruit Auction Company, at Mayor Hy-
Ian yesterday during the open discus
sion before the Board Of Estimate on
the advisability of establishing a
wholesale terminal market in the
Bronx.
Just before this Mayor Hylan had in
terrupted Mr.. McElheny, who was
speaking against the proposal, with
the following remark:
"You and the people you represent
are the ones who have a monopoly on
the food of this city and that's why
you see all these people here clamoring
for public market terminal"
About hundred residents of the
Bronx, mostly women who favor the es-
tablishment of the terminal market.
were present. A dozen of these had
voiced their approval of the PROPOSE
tion when Mayor Hyian called for the
opposition. Mr.. McElheny arose and
began to speak when the Mayor inter-
rupted.
Don't get excited" replied the
Mayor to Mr.. McElheny's retort. "These
people are really desirous of getting
this market and they are tired Of being
robbed by profteers."
Borough President Reigelmann, of
brooklyn, broke into the colloquy at
this point and demanded that Mr.. Nc
Elheny apologize before he continued
his talk. This Mr.. McElheny declined
to do. When Controller Craig asked
him to reconsider he said:
"Well, I'm good sport and I'm will
ing to forget what has transpfred."
The reply of the fruit man was un-
satisfactory. to Controller Craig. Bor-
ough President Connolly of Queens,
seeing that trouble was looming ahead,
broke in with:
Whats the use of beefing around
like this? We shouldn't have to beg
him to apologize. If he doesn't want to.
let it go at that. We shouldn't waste
any time with such incidents as this. 7"
Mr.. McElheny tnen refused to
apologize.
After the hearing had gone on for
more than two hours the matter was
referred to the Committee on Finance
and Budget, with promise from the
Mayor that when that committee made
its report there might be another
hearing.

New York Tribune
IYdYhinntnai RMrcnn


WASHINGTON, May 9.-The absence
of President Wilson from Washington
when Congress convenes May 10 makes
necessary the cabling from France of
the Presidential message outlining the
legislation he desires passed and the
reasons for the extra session, Majority
Leader Mondcll was advised to-day.
1t is the intention Of the White House
to have the Presidents message
printed and ready for distribution to
all members of both houses on the
second day of the session, Mr.. Mondell
was Informed when he conferred with
Secretary Tumulty.
With the President still in France on
the opening day of the new session, the
customary notice from Congress to the
President that the legislative body is
in session and ready to receive COM
munications will have to be cabled to
Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Mondell also conferred with Sec
retary Of the Treasury Glass on the
status of estimates that are expected
to be presented to Congress. Mr.. Glass
said that the old estimates, with modi-
fications bringing the appropriations
up to date, would be ready for submis-
sion to the various finance, committees
the first week of the session.
While the passage of appropriation
bills is expected to take precedence
over all activities of the House when
Congress meets, there is much specula-
tion here as to the disposition of Con-
gress to provide for large standing
army.
Secretary Of War Baker was unable
to say to-day just what request will be
made to Congress for the military es-
tablishment, declaring that much de-
pends on the necessity for the reten-
tion of American forces in the army of
occupation and the acceptance by the
United States of the mandate for Ar
menia. The possibility that an alli
ance between France, Great Britain and
the United States will be formed also
is factor.
The future of the telegraph and tele-
phone lines also will be given early
consideration by Congress, and legisla-
tion is practically assured fixing a def
mite date for the return to the owners
of their property.
