SHERIDAN RUSSELL
FOR
MAE ETERL|NCK VISIT
Young Son of Operatic Direc-
tor Taught English to
Belgian Poet.
By CORNELIUS VANDERBILT. Jr.

| Americans owe a great deal to young
sheridan Russell for the visit of Maurice
Maeterlinck to the United States. Had II
not been for Mr.. Russell and his father,
Henry Russell. the operate director. II Is
doubtful whether the great poet would
have ever visited the new world. For II
was Sheridan Russell who taught Maeter-
linck to read and speak English
Henry Russell, who for seven years was
manager OF the Boston Opera House. . d.
rector Of the Theatre des Champs Eiysees.

Metropolitan Opera House IA this city, has

fession- He was born in London In 1S71.

songs. His education took him to Italy.
and back again to England
In his early youth he eviuced talent as a
painter, but as his father wished him to
take up a medical career he did so until
at the age Of eighteen he suffered per-
nanent injury to his eyes. He then COM
menced to study singing at the Royal Col
lege OF Musician London. Later he evolved
he achieved unusual success. His advice
was sought by we'll known singers and ac-
tors, including Mary Garden. He gained
International renown by restoring the voice
Of Eleonora Duse.
Mr.. Russell managed Covent Garden, in
London, for a season, for which he engaged
Caruso, Amato and other artists who be-
came world famous. In recent years he
has been living in France, where, at the
request Of the French government, he
studied the scheme Of operate organiza-
ton. For the last twenty years he has been
q close friend and adviser of the great
poet; and it Is therefore no wonder that 1t
was due to his influence that Maeterlinck
has paid New York his first visit.
Before the genius Of modern myths
could be persuaded to come 10 a. country
which he never believed would interest
him 1t was necessary for him to learn Eng
lish. He had been a recluse so long that
he did not wish to break that bond OF Sc
clusion and employ an outsider to teach
him such difficult and uncomprehensive
language. Mr.. Russels son was the much
needed solution. It was young Sheridan
Russell who was instructed then to teach
the poet the English language.
Sheridan Russell Only n Boy.
Sheridan Russell was born In London
eighteen years ago. He has completely
mastered the English. French and Italian
languages, and speaks all three fluently.
He has been educated with much care by
private tutors in England, France and
America His main ambition Is to be \
violoncellist. He is small, dark COM
plexion, with thick, black, curly hair,
brushed straight back, and earnest, quiet
brown eyes.

The actual roadbed is free. No miles OF
steel and macadam, no costly dredging OF
harbors-just the setting aside of level
space ample for landing and the establish
ment of a depot of supplies.
100000 Miles Fair Routes.
'-rhe United States has done a great
deal Of work on the question of landing

10000 miles have been mapped. Forty

State Secretary George w. Smith
made the principle address. Ii 5 per-
sonality gives life to the pleasing
humor and vivid forcefulness of his
speech.We are certain that if the
population of the United States were
made up of such men Secretary

norant sore heads. Incidentally MIR.
Smith is Mayor of the prosperous
and thriving city of Phillipsburg.
The exercises were opened by the
singing of America. Mr.. George f.
Bakr made the speech of welcome.
and acted as master of ceremonies.
Stouts Quartette rendered several
selections with pleasing reception, 1t
was in this way that the editor had
a chance to participate in the enjoy
ment of the occasion. Theodore Stout
one of the members of the quartette
is employed in the Record office and
appealed to us to take the place of

be presen. 1t has been five years

preparedness the enjoyment of the
affair amply repaid us.
State President A. .Haines, of
Haddonfield was present, but beyond
a few words of greeting declined to
make speech. Past State President
Howard Jarrett of Bordentown, and
Rev. E. S. Wells of Lambertville,
also spoke.

Governor Cox, In his recent public ut

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1920-09-24

From the time Of George Washing
ton to the present moment 1t has been
characteristic of the American people
to demand dignity as an absolutely
essential quality In the makeup OF a
President. The instances have been
so rare In which an occupant Of the
White House has forgotten the 0bliga-
ton he Is under to the nation to main
tain his poise under all circumstances
that 1t requires close historical inves-
tigation to come upon them. Our
Presidents have been, no matter what
may have been their shortcomings as
executives, worthy in their outward
bearing of the eminence to which they
had attained.
1t is a serious handicap to James Nj.
Cox that he has displayed, In his
Presidential campaign, lack OF dig
nifty that has been, in some OF its
manifestations, actually shocking. 1t
is not demanded, of course, that a
Presidential candidate shall go about
his campaign activities with book of
etiquette in one hand and box Of

lean public. with It's usual sense of
Justice, makes due allowance always,

HAM WINS
Sl5,OOO.OO
FROM BONNELL

PENNINGTON Howard Ham on
Wednesday was awarded a verdict of
$4,000 from c. w. Bonnell for the
alienation of the affections of the
formers wife. He was represented
in the trial by Ex-senator VIM. c..
Gebhardt. Bonnell was defended by
Adam Robbins, Harry c.. Shout and
Judge Morrow of Belvidere.
1t was the most sensational case
appearing upon the dockets of this
term of court. Over thirty witnesses
were called for the plaintiff, and a
dozen or more for the defendent. The
wife and daughter of Mr.. Bonnell
were among the witnesses called, and
attracted much attention during the
two days of the trial.
A bulky bundle of Mr.. Bonnelfs
letters to Mrs. Ham were produced
as evidence and read. They revealed
an astounding infatuation of a fifty
fiv year old man for young woman
of twenty four The letters were in
the most intimate language, and evil
IDENTIFY took no account of consequent
els.
One of the charges contained in
the suit was a trip to Toledo, Ohio,
where Mr.. Bonnell took Mrs. Ham
when he went there on business.
The jury was out only fifteen min
utes when a verdict was returned in
Hams favor for $4,000 The suit
was for $4,000. No intentions are
indicated for an appeal, but council
for the defence expect to secure an
adjustment of the verdict.

sand-s6.0oo a Ton.

Wilmington, Del, has dozen of
the most expensive sand piles in the
world. 1t costs $4,000 a ton, says the
Portland Oregonian.
The reason for this, and incidentally
a reason for high-priced gloves, was
revealed the other day by prominent
leather merchant.
Wilmington is the chief glazed-kid
center in the United States. About 20
per cent of the raw skins entering the
United States come from China and
are imported at the rate of about 81
a pound.
"What, them" asked the merchant,
''would be more natural to the cum
ming eelestials than to increase the
weight of the skins by sprinkling sand
on them?"
That is Just what happens and the
result is huge piles of sand at receiv-
ing plants here, where the hides are
dried and prepared for manufacture.

COX KNOCKED live
HORNETS NEST ON
OWN PARTY'S HEAD
Charge Regarding Campaign
Funds Flares Back and
Singes Democrats.
THEY WANTED TEN MILLION.
People Willing to Contribute to
Get Rid of Democrats, but Not
TO Keep Them in Power.
By WILLIAM HOsTER.

"God in everything" sang the poet.
And this does not even exclude the
campaign speeches of Governor Cox.
As a result of Mr.. CoX's allegations
of big Republican Campaign Cor
ruption Fund, certain definite facts
have been demonstrated by the sworn
testimony of the leaders Of Governor
Cexs own party. They may be sum-
married. as follows:
1t has been demonstrated that
whereas, in their most sanguine
moods, the Republican managers never
contemplated a campaign fund Of
more than 100000, the Democratic
party, at an expense of one-half mil
lion dollars, set up the machinery for
the collection Of campaign fund OF
S10,OO00O0
1t has been demonstrated that the
contemplated $10,0o0,000 fund of the
Democrats did not materialiZe for the
sole reason that there aren't a suf-
ficient number of plain people in the
United States who want continuance
of Democratic rule, to contribute even
one-tenth of S10000,000.
1t has been demonstrated that
whereas, the great body of the peo-
ple-literally thousands of them
have willingly contributed from 81
cents to $1,000 to be rid of the present
Democratic administration, and to de-
feat Governor Cox; on the other hand
not thousands and not even hundreds
are willing to contribute cents to-
ward a continuance of wisconsin.
What Records Show.
1t has been shown by sworn records
that whereas, in despite Of Mr.. Cox's
outraged feelings over the disposition
Of thousands of ordinary American citi-
zens to help pay the expenses of de-
festing him in his campaign for the

presidency, Mr.. Cox in 1914 viewed
with complacency the criminal efforts
Of his campaign managers In Ohio to
ployees of the state contributions In
tended to further his personal politi
cal fortunes. 1t has been shown by
the testimony Of Mr. Cox's own cam
paign managers that the 100000
which the Republican managers hope
to raise for all political purposes this
year is not more than can legitimately
be expended for this purpose, and that
these frank Democratic managers
would also like to have similar
amount, but don't see any way Of get
ting 1t.
1t has been shown that the common,
ordinary rank and file of the American
people, for the first time in American
politics, aresready to contribute out OF
their own pockets to defeat candida
cy which represents all that is repug-
nant and hostile to American institu-
lions, and that this willingness Of the
American people to contribute to the
expense of defeating the Democracy
Is the sole basis Of Governor Co1's
charge Of conspiracy to buy the gov
eminent of the United States. Incl
dentally 1t required the candidacy Of
Governor Cox to introduce into a ma
tional campaign the doctrine that 1t
is possible for the people Of the United
States to buy their own government
unless Mr.. Cox unconsciously means
to convey the Idea that in this cam
paign the people are to buy back their
government from the autocracy which
has seized 1t and refuses to let go.
Finally 1t has been conclusively DEM
onstrated that II the Democratic party
is to secure any money to waste in
vain effort to achieve a Democratic
victory that money must come exclu-
slvely from men of the Colonel Deeds
type and the Dayton aircraft Plumber
bund, and from the Wall street inter-
national financIers, who alone will
profit through the participation of the
United States In Wilson's League of
Nations.
All Of these conclusions have been
demonstrated by sworn testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee with
mathematical precision which would
have met the enthusiastic appreciation
OF the late Mr. Euclid Governor Cox's
great expose has petered out. 1t was
a false alarm.
