Foch Lays Corner
Stone of American
Temple of Arts
NY Associated PrrssI

New York, Nov. 19-The American
Academy of Arts and Letters, the
cornerstone of whose building was
laid today by Marshal Foch, was
styled by Professor William Mill
gan Sloane as "hte nations council
of literature and art" Hamlin Gar
land, novelist and playwright, said
it can be counted upon to support
every movement for elevating Amer
lean ideals of living, for preserving
the beauties of nature and for up
holding the permanent standards of
art.
Marshal Foch appeared as the CEN
tral figure at the dedication ceremo-
mics after he had received the homo
rary degree of doctor of laws from
Columbia University. He figured,
not as a soldier, but, as a delegate
of the French Academy, founded
nearly 300 years ago.
The laying of the corner stone to-
day brought to fruition the dreams
of a group of leaders of American
art and letters who laid the founda-
tons of the present academy in 1904
when they formed the National In
stitute of Arts and Letters. The
present academy is chartered by the
federal government.
The new building will be a part Of
the group at Broadway and 155tf
street which includes the buildings
for the Hispanic, American Indian
Numismatic and Geographical So
cieties and the Spanish church. Il
will house a meeting room for the 81
members of the academy, library, eX
hibition room and executive offices
It will be distinctive in it's architec
tural features.

BUYING THE OCKLAwAHA.

The Palatka News says that move
ments were on foot in it's town to
finance the o V. and that ian offer
has been made for the property to
such of those who might be in a po-
sition to dispose of it, with the con-
sent of the court" This is myster-
ious and vague. Why should not the
interested Palatkans attend the sale
and buy the road. Surely the Gem
City can raise the nineteen or twenty
thousand dollars needed to defeat the
cruel calculations of the bloodsuck-
ing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Star.
The Star has gone far out of its
way on more than one occasion to
question the motives of tfose who
wish to have the Ocklawaha Valley
railroad preserved as a going con-
cern. and has consistently failed to
advance a motive for its reiterations
that the road should be put on the
block. The Star knows, perhaps,
that since it has been shown that the
O. ", like many other roads, can be
put on a paying basis that the bond
holders are already moving TO have
the receiver dismissed so that they
can take it over and stick the final
knife in it's weak back-to have it
dismantled. The Stars oft repeated
contention that the road should be
made to pay its debts or be junked
does not find agreement in the policy
which the government has adopted
toward all railroads. If it were not
for the advances made by the gov
eminent in times of stress, such as
those through which the o. V. has
passed, very few roads in the entire
country would be left out of the
bankruptcy courts Unfortunately,
the o. V. is one of the short lines
that does not receive government aid
to tide it over.
If the Star will just try to remem-
Der whenever it feels disposed to in
sert its keen scalpel of satire under
our philanthropic epidermis we will
repeat that we believe the operation
of the road can be made to pay, and
is paying, that it. is a benefit and a
necessity to the uninterrupted resi-
dence of very large number of peo-
pie living along the line, that-ev-
entually, it will be of great service to
,Palatka and Ocala, and the territory
it traverses.

THEY'RE LOOKING THIS WAY.

Palatka is getting some very IA
vorable mention, especially in the
Jacksonville papers while the big
fair crowds are there, by the ener-
getic spirit of hte citizens who stand
back of the Chamber of Commerce,
the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, and
the Putnam high football team, to
say nothing of the splendid showing
made by Miss Floressa Sipprell and
Mr.. Armstrong in handling Putnam

Miss Sipprell's work made clean

This is the kind of work and en-
deavor that attracts people to pro-
gressive community. They were

the front of all cars asking "Why

pedestrians. No doubt many of them
answered "Why not, these people
seem to be pulling for their town."

All theories point towards money!
as the demon that aroused tho|
frenzy Of murderous heart. Tfla-|
delfio T0doro was found dead in his,
room at 21c4h Fourth ayenue
Monday night. He had been dso6'
for several days. In his pockafn1
was something over 81. On Thurs
day evening he had received hiD
wages in cash, amounting to about
$44. In his pocket was a bank book
showing deposits of $1SS. The last
money had been given over to tho
bank on Dec. Is. The victim had
always drawn at least $40 each pay
day. What caused his regular de-
posts to stop? Was his nemesis
logging his trail at every step, and
was Todoro handing over to him
ready cash in a vain attempt to still
the rapacious desires Of the fiend!
Did not the murderer appear At
Todoro's room early Thursday eve
ming and renew his demands?
Was Soothing Anger.
All the evidence points towards
this. Todoro had his unwelcome
guest seated and was playing his
little photograph. perhaps in an eff
fort to sooth the aroused feeling Of
the latter. And when his back was
turned he was struck the crushing
blow on the skull. He went down
in heap, and the sight Of the blood
caused the passions Of the guest to
rush to his head. He hacked and
chopped at the PROSTATE Tod0ro to
prove his power of revenge. =.
/ While Antonio TodOro, the Ez14f-
stricken brother, does not give at
, terance to these thoughts other
than that he believes it was a qaes-
ton of money, nevertheless he
must be picturing them in his
minds eye. He does not know of
an enemy his brother may have
had. Neither does he know Of any
one who would be seeking his
money. But the story is not a new
one.
The theory that Todoro was MUIR
dered early Thursday evening can
hardly be questioned, despite the
statement Of Paul Vanderberg that
he had seen him alive Saturday
night. Authorities are at a loss ia
understand the motives thai
prompted Vanderberg to givA- Ms
story. Todoro still had black marks
