Astor Would Dust Tyson
On Profiteering Charge
Hotel Complains $3.50 Bonus
Was Asked for Ticket; Court
Reserves Decision

Justice Tierney in Supreme Court
yesterday reserved decision ON the ap-
plcation of Tyson Company, inc,
theater ticket agents, to make perma-
nent temporary injunction issued to
restrain the Hotel Astor management
from ousting the Tyson firm from it's
stand in the hotel.
The Tyson company has an agree
ment with the hotel under which the
ticket agents are to occupy space in
the hotel lobby until August, 1924
They have also been selling newspapers
and periodicals. A clause in the agree
ment provided that the Astor was to
have the right TO terminate the cove
nant in case complaints were made by
the patrons and these were found jus
tilted by the hotel management. The
rental of the stand is $4,000 year
1t was the contention Of the Hotel
Astor that the Tyson company over
charged the patrons for theater Tickets
and that this was working a serious
injury to the reputation Of the hotel
It was because Of these complained OF
excessive charges, it was said by the
hotel. that the Tyson company was
asked to give up it's stand. One in
stance of alleged overcharging Of 8
hotel patron was the selling of two
tickets on which a bonus of $3.50 each
was levied, when it should have been
only 80 cents each.

Easy Thing to
Stump Edison,
Says Educator
AJAX Inventor What Is 100
Yard Dash. Record, Sug-
gests William e. Grady,
School Superintendent
Hint He Is Preiudiced
Syracuse Head and Others
Point to the Attitude
of Non College People

William T., Grady, District Superin~
fendent of Schools. expressed the opin-
ion yesterday that any college student
could perplex Thomas A. Edison with
certain selected questions as Mr.. Edi-
son has perplexed applicants for jobs
At his West Orange, N. j., plant.
Questions pertaining to the 1o0-yard
dash record and "best sellers" probably
would prove too much for the inventor
said Mr.. Grady. He said it was doubt
ftti if the public school teachers OF
New York City would have much sue
cess in answering the questions on
! the Edison lists.
"These questions" said Mr.. Grady
.call for information that is probably
relevant IN one line or another, and
in way they might be called technical
Whether the series is fair depends
upon Mr.. Edison's attitude. If he ex-
poets certain percentage of correct
ness the question still remains as to
what it would be proper TO demand.
II should think, however, that our
teachers ought to be more successful
in such test than the average per-
son, because it is their business to
purvey general information. 1t is
probably true that most persons have
heard the answers to all of these ques-
items in the grade schools, and have
fotgotten them. If so, this fact alone
would be proof that the questions were
not extremely important"

Calli-Curci i'm Poor Voice

Nine. Galli-Curci's recital at Carne-
gle Hall last evening was not an au-
spicious occasion. The singers voice
plainly showed traces of fatigue after
an arduous season, and her program,
so light as to appear trifng was in
differently sung. There was SEM
blance of artistic dignity in the songs
by Pergolese, Paisiello and Pergolesi
which opened the program, but these
were followed by numbers of glaring
insignifcance composed by Messrs.
Murdoch, Beecher and Samuels.
Four songs by Fourdrain, group of
bergerettes, Bishops echo Song" and
"Lo, here the gentle lark" completed
the musical fare of the evening. Nine.
Galli-Curci was particularly unfortu-
nate in her treatment of Fourdrain' S
beautiful "Carnaval." The opening
pages were hurried beyond recognition,
and throughout the song she and her
accompanist, Mr.. Samuels, were at
odds.

"WorsIsless,'' Professors Asserf,
and Call the Wiznrd Him
self ssAmasingly Ignorant
Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune

Sfeciaf Dispatch to The Tribune
BOSTON, May 12.-Thomas A. Edi-
sons statement that college men were
amazingly ignorant has caused a
storm in collegiate circles here.
Professor Everett L. Getchell, OF
Boston University. declares the "Wiz-
ard" is himself amazingly ignorant.
Assistant Professor English, of the
Wellesley College psychology depart
ment, says edison evidently misun-
derstands the function of college ed
ucation, which is not primarily mat
ter of pouring out scattered facts"
Professor Getchell, who is secretary
of the Boston University faculty, be-
lieves the college graduate who could
answer his questions would be no bet
ter an empioye for Edison. He simply
would have remarkable memory.
"I'm sure the average college profess
sor cannot answer more than DO per
cent of these questions. Pm sure |
couldn't" he. declared.
Professor English, who next year
will become professor of psychology
at Antioch College, says there is moth
ing in Edison's questions that would
give any light on the reason
ing powers, the logic, the native abil-
ity of any boy. A boy might answer
every question perfectly and yet be
absolutely unfit for job with Edison,
he declares.
A member of the Harvard faculty
said, "Mr. Edison may prefer men who
know all about axe handles, and he is
welcome to have them. But there are
other mental qualities which colleges
aim to develop more important to the
progress of the nation and to civiliza-
ton"

what they thought Of Mr.. Edison 3
questions said they suspected he had
motives aside from his announced pus-
pose. Chancellor James r. Day, OF
Syracuse Unisersity, declared that he
felt that Mr.. Edison might "have IL
in" for college men,
There is certain conceit to the
non-college man." he said, (which
ought perhaps to be conceded by col.
lege people. Mr.. Edison is not coli
lege man, and this may be taken as an
explanation of the list Of questions.
There is nothing easier than for man
to select list of questions that can
not be answered offhand by learned
people"
Representatives Of large organiza-
tions, employing thousands in various
positions, expressed want of com
fidence in Mr. Edison's system. The
man who heads the employment bureau
of the New York Central Railroad, and
who is responsible for conditions in
the Grand Central Terminal, said that
he could not answer one third of the
questions. and might even be prejudiced
against person who could answer
them.

DICTAGRAMS

acter- Well, this is character week
The "meouw' of the catbird was
heard at Warnoak last Sunday morn
ing and after a few minutes watch
ing we had visual evidence of his
presence The catbird is rather shy
and rarely seen here, however for the
last three years he has been observed
on May II, 16, and Is, respectively,
apparently starting north one day
earlier each succeeding year About
five years ago he was seen here in
September, perhaps a stray bird or
it may be that he had a call to go
south ahead of other birds that year
Judge Purcell says he saw mock
ing bird down the river one day
in April, Notwithstanding it is against
the dictagrammer's rule not to al
low the mocker to appear here earlier
than abut May 8 to 12. 1t is likely,
however, that returning birds may be
seen along streams some days before
they appear out on the open prairie.
There is another explanation possible:

thing wrong with his bait.
