The donation by MIR. James NJ.
Wilbur Of Manchester Of a statue Of
Ira Al en- is more than a gift to the
University Of Vermont. 1t IS mark
of honor to the memory of the founder
OF the diversity and a man who more
than any other was Instrumental in
the bringing into being of the State
of Vermont.
The Hon Darwin p Kingsley in his
oration at the dedicatory ceremony
laid emphasis on the notable part
played by Ira Allen in the early days OF
Vermont and his speech was a marvel
Of historical data and little known
facts Of and surrounding, the life and
times Of the Uniyersity's founder.
Born in Cornwell, Conn, in 1851, y
younger brother of Ethan Allen. Ira
Allen emigrated to Vermont in 1872.
His ability was early made manifest
ana soon after his arrival here he
came into prominence in public affairs.
He was a colonel of militia and with
his regiment did valiant servie at the
Battle OF Bennington lie bore a not
able part in settling the early Difficult
ties OF Vermont with the neshboring
states and was responsible for the
measure which conhscated the estates
Of Tories by which means the states
affairs were largely financed during
the Revolutionary period
Since Ira Aliens time the state
has produced other men who have
been as great possibly but during his
day, with the exception of his brother
Ethan, no man was so prominent in
the affairs of Vermont, nor SO greatly
responsible for the excellent beginning
which made the deyelop.sources more
than an idle dream. Because of this
then the dedication of statue to the
founder of the University of Vermont
is especially significant His vision Of
a flourishing state with an educa-
tional institution worthy of the name
already has been more than rclized.-

the capital city, ever a center Of
troubled politics says the Knicker-

since Greeley came to Albany to
work as a reporter and editorial writ
err on the Evening Journal. The old
KnickerboCker had not yet been
founded, but the Argus, now consoli.
dated with this newspaper was in the
heyday of its lusty youth
Greeley did not stay long. now
ever the story Of his coming and go

Of that time made it impossible,
though, for the Wings to get control
Of TIE senate until 1870, in which
year, a Mr.. Loyerdge of Troy, having
been invited to Albany by Governor
Seward, with the promise of being

torials which were much admired
But Lewis Benedict. 4 Wing leader,
insisted that his son should be surro-

Beauty vs.. Uel,ness.

Dr. Ralph Adams Cram, a Boston
architect, who was the orator at the
annual meeting OF the Harvard chap

phat ca'ly that beauty is lacking in
Iles eyery sphere DR., Cram finds
ugliness in both the material and the
psychological spheres; the city of in
dustralism, the decadent vulgarized
village. the metropolis Of commerce
and finance the means of locomotion
and transportation, the music and
drama and literature and architec-
ture of the multitude, the newspap,
ers and the advertising, the very
clothes and customs of society are
conceived not only without reference
to beauty, but in terms that are its
antithesis and its destruction But
the following excerpt contains his
most unique arguments,

the aim of the communities and of
the whole country to beautify and to

VIENNA HOSPITAL CROWDED;
FEW OPERATIONS POSSIBLE

Vienna-(By Mail to United Press)
the Vienna hospitals are
crowded with. three times the number
Of patients they had before the war,
fewer operations are performed.
There are several reasons for this
curious situation, according to medi-
cal report Of the American Red Cross
which says:
,"The causes are first, lack Of ether
and .chloroform; second, lack Of sur
gical material, such as bandages,
dressings and antiseptic drugs, and,
third, the general poor condition Of
the patient =
"sThe quality of the imported ether
and chloroform is so bad that the per-
centage Of deaths due to anaesthet
has been distinctly marked during the
Last year. The consequences is that
the number OF operations had to be
reduced for fear. Of post-ether pneu-

Indiana's Political Triangle

BEVERlDGE TO OPPOSE

Hays Expects to Go Into New
Cabinet as Postmaster
General, 1t Is Said !!
(By United Press,

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. IS. (By Ray
mond Clapper. )-Indiana's political
triangle appeared likely to be influ-
entail in determining the makeup
in part OF President-elect Harding's
cabinet.
This became known following a
LONG conference between Harding and
win II. Hays, republican national
chairman, on the train between Ma
rion and Cleveland, where Harding
went incognito yesterday afternoon to
attend to some personal affairs be-
fore leaving for Florida later in the
week. lie was to return to Marion
today. Hayes, it was learned. expect
ed to 80 into the cabinet as postmast-
er general instead Of running for the
republican senatorial nomination in
place OF Senator Harry s. New, OF In
diana.
The third side OF the new triangle
is Ex-senator Albert J. Beverage, who
intends to oppose New for the nomin-
alton. Hayes has been in conference
recently with all three of these lead
ing Indianians over the situation and
has reached a solution, it is UNDER
stood, which appears for the moment
to satisfy all parties.
Harding, by his voluntary elimin-
ations from the three-cornered sena-
torial race, has NARROWED the field
down to New and Bevcridge. New
has the organization with him but
Beveridge is said to be growing
stronger, especially among former
prOgressives who were associated
with him when he was one Of the
ruling powers in the Bull Moose par
~. -. g.. i,
All these men have been mentioned
at different times for cabinet posi-
tions. New was early discussed for
the position OF secretary of war, but
his hesire was to continue in same
place and get ready for next year.
Beveridge has been under considera-
ton for secretary Of war, but the de-
cision Of VIII Hayes to go into the
cabinet rules out the likelihood OF
another Indianian entering the
Harding cabinet.
Whether Hayes Will throw his in
huence in the senatorial race TO New
or Beveridge Is unknown. A report Is
prevalent that Beveridge opposed the
appointment of Hayes to the cabinet.
but this has been officially denied by
both parties.
