FERNAED BACKS MOVE
FOR new ART EDIFICE
Maine Senator Believes Proposed
$50,000,000 Building Program
Should Include Structure.
100000 rs ASKED AT FIRST
Wing of Future Complete Gallery
Could Be Erected Now.

Senator Bert NJ. Fernald OF Maine,
chairman of the Senate committee on
public buildings and grounds. believes
in the development Of Washington as
the most beautiful city in this coun-
try or in the world. He Ia backing
the proposal of President Coolidge
that Congress authorize an appropri
alton of $5O,000,000 to be expended In
Washington for public buildings over
a period of ten years. The senator
believes also that tho building pro-
gram should include home for the
National Gallery of Art, now so in
adequately housed in the natural his
tory building of the Smithsonian
group.
4 concrete proposal for the govern
aments building plan in Washington
is contained in bill recently intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Smoot
of Utah, chairman of the Public
Buildings Commission. This bill has
been referred by the public buildings
and grounds committee to a subcom-
mittee consisting of Senators keyes
of New Hampshire. Shipstead of Min
nesota and Mayfield Of Texas.
The supporters of the project for n
building for the National Gallery OF
Art may undertake to bring about an
amendment Of the Smoot bill so AS to
make specific mention of a gallery
building. 1t has been estimated by
ojcials connected with the National
Gallery that 1t would be possible to
construct a building-possibiy wing
of the final home Of the gallery--for
$1,000 900.
Such structure would be tre-
mendous step toward the proper hous-
ing of the National Gallery. already
containing paintings and objects Of art
valued at $4,000. 900.
AS soon as the architects plans for
the building for the National Gallery
have been completed, as proposed by
the National Gallery Commission at its
last annual meeting, 1t will be possible
to make definite estimates for the struc-
ture. and to take the matter up with
the proper officials, incluc:ng the budget
bureau. 1t is planned to seek legisla-
tlon at the present Congress, authoriz-
ing the erection of the National Gallery
building. either through the Smoot bill,
or through separate measure.

TUNUL TE Tells
Of LOVE FOR
CH|EF.TA|V
Former Secretary Affirms
Loyalty and Pays Tribute
to Woodrow Wilson.

Joseph r. Tumulty, former Sec.
retary to President Wilson. today
issued the following tribute:
. am heart-hroken by the ter.
rible news. Eleven years OF inti-
mate association with this great
man, both in New Jersey and In the
Capital of the nation, has buildsd
in my heart In blocks Of everlasting
granite an affection, an admiration,
and, trust, loyalty, that have
continued to this eventful moment.
America never needed more than
at this critical hour the sustaining
force OF the broad idealism Of
Woodrow Wilson; and 1t is too bod
that this figure like q mighty oak
has toppled over and fallen when
his voice might have called us
back to those knightIy days when
his influence was used to help a
depressed nation and to bring peace
to stricken world.
Finely Fibered.,
'He was not only humAn, but he
was great. His humanness. how
ever, was made of too fine a fiber
to be used for self-exploitation nor
would he ever permit it to be 30
used. The trouble with his peculiar
kind Of humanness was this--it did
not bubble, 1t did not effervesce, 1t
did not sparkle, and so they called
him cold when he was only shy;
they mistook his g0ntility for aus.
terity. But that kind OF a man
will live in the hearts and thoughts
Of men forever. They did not
understand Woodrow Wilson, neither
did they understand Lincoln. There
was something inscrutably hidden
about Woodrow Wilson's greatness
and. unfortunately, few OF this gen.
Grafton only caught flashes of 1t.
Now that he Is dead, we shall
get new and clearer glimpse into
that big heart and then perhaps
we shall see how full IL was Of
love for honor and justice and hu.
manity. The spark transmitted by
Woodrow Wilson may shoulder for
generations under ashes, but the
appointed time will come when 1t
will flare up to bring peace to a
stricken world And then those
who misunderstood him and mis-.
interpreted the fine things he
sought to do for humanity, will rub
their eyes and wonder and regret.
Master of Dreams.
''He lived in true accord with
the spirit underlying the words
of Kipling: He kept his head when
all about him were losing theirs
and blaming it on him. When lied
about. he did not deal in lies.
When hated, he did not give way
to hate. He dreamed, but did
not make dreams his master. He
heard the truth he'd spoken twisted
by knaves and fools and then
watched the things he'd given his
life to broken. and stopped and
built 'em up again with wornout
tools
Here was an exceptional mind
and heart which neither gave an
affront nor bore enmity and which
conceived nothing rashly and feared
nothing which they conceived.

WILSON BROKE

TOUR
His Purpose to Garry League
to People Ended by
PHYSICAL COLLAPSE,

Carrying the Versailles Treaty
to the people in the late summer
Of 1919, with forty speeches and
$500 miles Of travel dedicated to
that purpose, was the tax which,
added to strenuous guidance Of
the nation through war and peace
negotiations, broke the body of
Woodrow Wilson.
Complete recovery never followed.
Making his great Swing around

champion ignored NATURES warn.
ings. The President added engage.
ments when indications of the COM
ing menace caused friends to urge
cancellation of speeches.
The breakdown started as Mr..
Wilson started his return to Wash
ington. His public appearances iE
southern California brought obser.
vations of his lessened powers OF
concentration from the largest
group of newspapermen who had
ever Travelled with a President.
A sleepless night as the train
neared Wichita, Kans., where
$4,000 people awaited him, disclosed
the gravity of the Chief Executive 8
condition, and Secretary Iumulty
was forced to disappoint tho wait
ing thousands in Kansas City,
Little Rock, Memphis and Louis
vile, by announcing the cancella'
tion Of the tour.
The westward march was the
exact antithesis of the short lived
return trip. Accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson. Rear Admiral Cary r..
Grayson, the White House physi-
clan, and his private secretary,

apparently In excellent health,

Few people knew the human
side Of Woodrow Wilson. As a
matter OF fact, few knew he had
q human side. He was popularity
pictured as a stern, unbending sort
of man, immune to the weaknesses
and emotions that sway other hu-
mans. The following story - never
told before shows the former Pres
ident's softer side. E9
During their almost daily auto.

would look out of their car window;
to acknowledge greeting waved
at them by an aged little woman
who unfailing1y took a position
In front Of her house when the
Wilson car passed. Then, one day,
the Wilson's, looking for the
little grey-haired woman was miss
ing from her customary place. Mr..
Wilson directed the driver 20 stop.
With the aid OF the driver and Mrs.
Wilson, the former President left
his car and entered the littlo house

learned the aged woman was i'll.
On reaching Washington, Mr..
Wilson ordered huge bouquet OF

viii be written among those Of
the greatest statesmen OF all

He will be enshrined in the
hearts Of all lovers Of peace.
SENATOR COUZENS, Michigan
His intentions were always
good, his integrity was above re-
proach and he died in the interest
Of all his country. / have no
doubt that as time goes on and
partisan hates are outgrowr, he
will go down in history as one
of our greatest Presidents. He
was criticized for his firmness.
but no war can be fought with.
out firmness and with firmness
inevitably goes some degree of
error.
SENATOR CARAWAY, Arlan.
sas-No man has voiced more
nearly the hopes and aspirations
and, will say, the prayers Of
men and women throughout the
world, no man at least who has
walked the earth in a thousand
years. Like most prophets and
seers, he was destroyed by those
who opposed change. Two immor-
talities survive-one among ali
who love justice, the other among
the stars.

IDEALS Of DEAD
PRESIDENT
Great Statesman, Says STAN
dard Oil Chairman-Defeat
of Peace Plan Tragic.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

Business leaders throughout the
country paid tribute to the passing
of Woodrow Wilson. Among ex-
preSsions were:
A. c. BEDFORD, chairman Of
the Board Of Standard Oil Com.
pany Of New Jersey: president
Wilson will stand out in American
history as a great statesman. He
made mistakes; he made enemies;
there are many things perhaps
that he could have done differently
or better.
"He kept us out Of war longer
than some of us thought he ought
to have stayed out, but when he
led us in he led us magnificently.
No man voiced more accurately
than he the ideals with which the
war was really fought. That those
ideals are not yet realized is due
to no failure on his part in hav-
ing expressed them or in striving
to realize his conception of them.
When history has been finally
written, and the Incidents, the
friction, the jealousies, the pollti-
cal rivalries Of the moment have
been forgotten, President Wilson's
name will be remembered as that
of a man who left the world spir-
itually richer than he found It,"
FRANCIS III. SISSON, vice.pres-
ident Guaranty Trust Company,
New York: Woodrow Wilson
shared with other great thinkers
the vision Of world peace. His
failure to work out the high ideal
to which he had consecrated him.
self will be recorded as one OF the
| tragic pages Of history"
ROY ID. CHAPLIN, president Hud.
son Motor Company, Detroit: "Mr
Wilson was one of the greatest
idealists the country ever knew,
but he was a man OF great force
and determination. Once in the
war, he vigorously led the nation
through 1t. His loss and that 0f
President Harding is a terrible
commentary on the burdens Of the
office Of President. 1t points to
the necessity Of giving our chief
executives some relief"
| FREDERICK M. ALGER, capi.
talist, Detroit: 'Mr. Wilson's death
is tragic loss, especially to those
citizens who believed sincerely and
honestly in his foreign policy and
In his ideals for putting into effect
international lasting peace. Being
a scholar and student he command.
ed a thoughtful consideration of all
his actions to a greater degree than
ordinarily accredited one in public

ELBERT III. GARY, Chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation:
"The record Of Woodrow Wilson's
achievements, even though some
times 1t may be unfavorably criti.
cized, will occupy a high and honor.
able place in history. In many re.
spectg he was one Of the ablest of
all the Presidents Of the United
States. His knowledge, his wisdom,
his keen conception and his influ.
ence were patriotically dedicated to
the cause Of justice. What he did
for the protection Of civilization will
never be forgotten.
