To Honor Memory
John Ericsson and
Partner Delamater

/, New York, Feb. S-Memories of
the stirring days Of the Sixties will be
revived March when dignitaries of
two nations gather here with tech
meal and civic societies to honor
Captain John Ericsson and his part
ner. Cornelius H. Delamater, on the
60th anniversary of the battle be-
tween the first armored battleships,
Monitor and Merrimac.
Four tablets will be erected to the
designer and builder of the first tur-
reted battleship. and in the evening
an Observation-Disclosures banquet will
be held, to which have been invited
President Harding, Secretary of the
Navy DENLY, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and other representatives
of American officialdom as well as
the Minister and Consul General from
Erfcsson's native Sweden. The oc-
casion will be celebrated simultane-
ously in Stockholm by the Associated
Swedish Engineers, members of the
Swedish royal family and American
diplomatic representatives participant
ing.
One of the tablets to be erected
here will be unveiled at the Phoenix
Foundry. where Ericsson built the
first iron boats constructed in Ameri-
ca. and also brought out his then
ridiculed screw propeller.
Another will be unveiled on the site
of the Delamater Iron works, where
the engines for the Monitor, the first
self-propelled torpedo and the first
submarine were built
The third tablet will be placed at
the Continental Iron works in Brook
Ign. where the hull of the Monitor
was built.
The fourth will be unveiled at So
Beach street. where Ericsson made
his home in New York and where he
died on March S, 1889.
Ericsson already has been honored
by statue which stands in Battery
| Park, near the spot where the naval
pioneer experienced in 1874, one Of
the bitterest of the many bitter dis
| appointments of his early career.
Ericsson had been taken under the
wing of Lieutenant Robert F. Stock
ton of the United States Navy and
| commissioned to design the battle
ship Princeton-the first iron battle
ship with its boilers and engine be-
low the waterline and the precursor
of the modern dreadnought.
! When the Princeton started for
| Washington for demonstration before
President Tyler and other govern
ment officials, Ericsson was waiting
at the Battery expecting to be taken
aboard for the cruise. But the
Princeton sailed majestically past
without stopping. A few days later
a big gun-against the design of
which Ericsson had protested to
Lieutenant Stockton-exploded at the
conclusion of the tests, killing Sec
rotary of State Upshur, Secretary of
Navy Gilmcr, Senator Maxey. two
naval officers and President Tyler's
J bodyguard
The accident led to an cstrange-
ment between Ericsson and his pat
! ron, and Ericsson sank into compare
tive oblivion until the Unions need
for a battleship to meet the Confed-
eracy's threatening Merrimac re-
stored him to official favor. and
brought acceptance of the Monitor
plans.

"SerambIed Wives" PIeases Large
Audiences at the Opera House
Scrambled Wives" was the offer
ing of the Chicago Stock company at
the Opera House yesterday, and it
was received by large audiences with
immense favor. 1t was unquestion-
ably the best offering of the week,
and was handled by every member
of the cast in fine fashion. The act
ing cast assembled by the manage
ment is one of the best ever seen here
in stock. W. James Bedell and Dor
othy Howard, who portray the lead
ing roles are exceptionally clever ar

Today, matinee and night, the COM
pany will present Smooth as Silk"
the powerful melodrama by the ma
tionally-known author, Willard Mack,
who has a score Of successes to his
credit. including Kick In" The Big

Silk" was clever criminal, but
like most crooks, clever as they may
be, he has been caught and was do
ing his bit" when powerful influ-
ences decided they could use him to
further their own nefarious ends on
the outside. Therefore he was per-
mitted to make his escape. That is
the start of this most interesting mel
odrama and to disclose any more Of
the plays fascinating plot would be
doing it great injustice; suffice to
say Silk" opened a safe to save a
human life, vindicate another man
and for the love of girl.
Friday, matinee and night, the Joy
ringing comedy, the big Broadway
success, Wedding Bells" will be Of

Moscow. Jan. 13-(By MaiD-The
mail service of Russia is improving
and now letters and money orders
sent to points within Russia are rea-

tiers from abroad are delivered.
Letters sent from the United States
reach the person to whom they are
addressed after month or six weeks.
The delay is due to the censorship
There's nothing secret about the work
of the censors. 1t is perfectly APP
parent that they have opened letters
because they wish to know the con-
tents The letters are steamed and
during the process the United States
stamp and the musilage of the flap
come off.
After the censor has examined the
contents and made any notes or
copies of the contents the letter goes
out for delivery. The delivery serv-
ice is so good that letter will fol-
low the addressee about for weeks,
from address to address, until he is
found.
