and polo. Baseball became profitable
ana DAY bought the "Mets," as the
club was known. That ended polo on
the Polo Grounds.
With the establishment OF the Mead
ow Brook Club on Long Island Mr..
Herbert became still more active In
the fostering and promotion OF the
sport, and when the Polo Association
was founded in 1890 he was chosen
as chairman, a post he held till his
death less than two weeks ago.
1t was owinl to Mr.. HERBEBr's
efforts that polo became a better
game than it was when it was intro
duced into this country. He estab-
llshed the handicap system, which has
clothed the sport with an added in
terest for players and spectators alike.
He also took the initiative in raising
the standard in connection with the
mounts employed, substituting the
term polo mounts for polo ponies.
When Mr.. BENNETT played here in
1876 he employed two famous ponies,
each 1872 hands high. Mr.. HERBERT
knew the influence polo would have
on the quality Of the horsemanship
of our cavalry. In order that an
officer could use his service mount in
polo he had the polo standard raised
to 15.1 hands, the lowest measurement
for cavalry horse. He was proud
Of the fact that he lived to see
the Polo Association develop In thir-
ty-one years into an organization en-
bracing forty-n nine clubs with a total
OF 9S5 players, OF whom Col belonged
to the Regular Army.

One Cost OF Living Item.

BY the latest figures of the Bureau
Of Railway Statistics the wages paid
by the American railroads were run
ming In the latter part of 1920 at the
rate of $3,S00,000,00O a year. In 1915
they were 81, ,190,000,000.
This multiplying of the railway
payrolls by more than three foots up
in cold cash to an increase OF $3.50
100000 a year. Every penny OF it
must 90 into the cost of living of the
American people, who pay all the
railroad bills
For our population OF 100,0000OO
In round numbers the $2,610,000O00
of increased railroad wages amounts
TO an average increase Of $26,10 a
year for every man, woman and child
in the United States. On the Federal
Census Bureau basis of five persons
to family the railway wage increase
amounts to an average Of $130.5c for
every family in the United States.
The American people, therefore, now
burdened annually $130.50 family
more than in 1915 on this single item
of increased railroad wages, will
scarcely wonder that they still groan
under the grinding cost Of living.

would have approved OF imposing
upon even the most autocratic of the

Bolsheyiki heaped upon the helpless

House of the Skeleton.
1t Was Once the Home of President
John Adams's Daughter.

To THE NEW YoRK Herald: Your ac-
count OF the finding OF a skeleton in an
old house on East Sixty-first street said
the building was erected In 1879. It
was built prior to l7e5 by Peter Van
Zsndt as a stable for his manor house.
On March 90. 17s5. the house, together
with the stable and adjoining buildings
then standing, was sold to Colonel Will
lam S. Smith. who in 1888 had married
the daughter OF John Adams. then Min
lister to Great Britain and later Presi-
dent OF tho United States. Mr.. Smith
was secretary of the legation. and on
his return to New York took UP his
residence at the Van Zandt house.
He became a noted merchant of ths
city, but failed in business and was
compelled TO sell his beautiful place on
the East River. Tho stable became a
tavern and remained such until 1880,
when It was purchased by Jeremiah
Towle. and was occupied as late as 1906
by one Of his daughters.

Charleston Spring.
Oh jasmine girl
Come down cur street;
Flowers are golden.
Songs are sweat.
And does the signing southern breeze
Rattle the old palmetto trees
And by the guns on the Battery wall,
The dreamer hear the seasuils eallf
And does old Sumter llnger there.
Soft in haze and memories raref
Blue will the circlins harbor bo
Whore the rivers come down to meet the
sea.
At Eastertids st. Michaeps bells
Ara silver toned and brave,
And as their sacred chorus swsI!s
Bright blooms are on each grave.
Bright hyacinths fair women bring,
Or lilies white and tall:
While roses in the gardens cling
Asaleas by the wall.
Songs OF the breeze-
The south wind blowing;
Fragrance OF jasmine
South wind sowing.

Tolstoys Under Bolshevisrn.

The fate Of the Tolstoys and Of
Yasnaya Polyana, where Count ToL-
sToY made his home and where he put
in practice many Of the economic the
cries which he advocated, has been
shrouded in mystery ever since the
Bolsheviki gained control in Russia.
More than a year ago LENINE, In an
swer to an inquiry, professed a deep
reverence for the name of Tolstoy and
declared that the Tolstoy home should
be undisturbed.
The first real information about the
way In which this promise was kept
and about the conditions at Yasnaya
Polyana IS furnished by recent let
ter In the London Times. The writer
who had spent eight years with Coun-
tess TATIANA, ToIsToY's eldest daugh-
ter. managed to escape to England.
The Tolstoy home was not left undis-
turbed, says this correspondent, but
was taken over by commissars. and 1t
now houses some seventy workers.
among whom Is tho Countess herself
Her duty IS to conduct visitors through
her fathers private rooms and to his
grave.
The whole place is rapidly falling
into ruin through abuse and neglect
Of repairs. Tho commissars discuss
at great length what should be done,
but there 1t ends; much talk, moth
ing done" The Countess, who has
many of the ideas Of her father,
started n school In the hall for peas
ant children and attempted TO teach
them how to make string shoes. But,
says the correspondent, like all things
in Russia, the work had to be stopped,
as II was impossible to get the neces-
sary materials.
Count ToLsroY's widow died IN
October, 1919, and from the diary
which she left it was evident that
her last days we're greatly disturbed
by the fear that her daughter and
granddaughter would starve. This
fear was not fanciful, for TATrAwA

Why the Boatmen Struck.

To THE New York HERALD: In your
account OF the Tidewater Boatinens
strike on Friday you said that these mcn
had been receiving s1i0 a month with
board and lodging.
This is an error, as the men had been
receiving s1i0 month fiat, with no
board or lodging allowed. and the men
are practically on duty twenty-four
hours day. because if they leave tho
boat and anything is stolen they ara
held responsible.
Therefore when sonne boat owners st-
tempted to lower these wages to 500 a
month without any reason whatever the
captains went on strike.

Henry L. Herbert, Sportsman.

The death OF HENRY L. HERBERT re-
Gently removed a helpful figure from
the field Of American sport. A nephew
Of Henry WILLIAM HERBERT. known
under his pen name Of Frank Forester
MS one of the most graceful aHl ac-
complshed OF all writer's on sport, Mr..
HERBERT took keen interest in hunt
ing and other sporting activities hav-
ing to do with the horse, but 1t was
rs chairman Of the Polo Association
from its organization in 1900 that he
was conspicuous.
Mr.. HERBERT has been at various
times described as the father OF polo
in America, but this he always de-
MED, declaring that credit for intro
ducing the game into this country was
due to JAMES GORDON BENNETT. 1t
was in 1876 that Mr.. BENNETT, In
company with Colonel WILLIAM JAY,
WILLIE DOUGLAS, Lord MANDEvILLE,
HERMANN Ou.R1cHs and PERRY BEL
MONT, introduced the game 10 the
American public at Jerome Park. and
shortly afterward the Polo Club was
established in Westchester county,
with Rowland RoRB1Ns as secretary.
The game was purely exotic, and Its
novelty appealed to the devotees Of
society. 1t was the custom to coach
to Jerome Park and watch the play
after one Of FELIX'S Incompatible
luncbeons
Newport was a fertile field for the
sport, and under the management of
HARRY BLAssoN, a member Of Mr..
BESNETr's household, it was a inan-
cial success. Clubs were organized at
Long Branch and Buffalo. The for
mer organization was known as the
Rumson Polo Club, and the late
HENRY l.. HERBERT was active In Its
formation. Buffalo had strong
team, of which Or. CARY, LAWRENCE
RU1rsEY and JOHN ScATcHERD we're
members, md games between the Buff
falo and Westchester clubs at New
port and Buffalo were hotly con-
tested. On the local team were ELIOT

THoRNL and the present AUGUST BEL
MONT. 1t was on a return trip from
Buffalo that Mr.. HERBERT took the
frst step toward the prominence he
attained in the game Of polo
When somebody mentioned the re-
gion M at 10th street as n desirable
site for n polo field Mr.. HrRBERT re-
marked that he knew the owners and
would undertake % secure the ground.
This he did from the Plnckney estate.
