D. A. R. DEFEATS
INITIAL FEE
INCREASE
Poverty" Plea Impresses the
Voting Delegates-TalIy
Stood 731 to 486.

Following a spirited debate, the
Daughters of the American Revo1u-
ton late yesterday decided against
increasing the initiation fee from So
to SO by a vote Of 731 to 4S6.
The result came as a surprise to
the proponents Of the increase,
who were confident this morning
that they would easily muster. the
necessary two-thirds vote to put
over the raise. Delegates from the
Southern States, including Mary
land, Kentucky and the District OF
Columbia, who have been against
the increase. were surprised to find
that delegates from New York.
Pennsylvania and other States were
rallying TO their support in voting
down the proposed increase.
The poverty plea made by many
of the delegates against the raise
made a deep impression on the del
gates. 1t was claimed that many
women who wanted to Join the D.
A. r.. could not afford to do SO
with a $40 initiation fee.
Tell them to leave off their
silk stockings" said Mrs. Munsey
Stack, Of Tennessee.
You mean barefooted?" asked a
delegate from the floor.
Mrs. Stack explained that she
meant for the candidates to foregC
buying silk stockings.

A resolution proposing that re-
naming sessions of the congress
be held in Memorial Continental
hall, instead of the auditorium,
was veted down after 1t was an
nounced that there were not seats
in the hall to seat all the dele
gates. The congress is finding it
rather hard to transact business
in the big auditorium because
speakers from the floor cannot
be heard.
A rule finally was made that
anyone who wanted the floor
would have to come to the plat
form and address the meeting in
front of the microphones.
Another cause Of dissatisfac-
ton yesterday was the tempera-
ture of the auditorium. 1t was
so cool that the majority Of
women wore their coats.
Mrs. John Miller Horton, of
Buffalo, chairman of the COM
mittee on the correct use of the
flag, was a favorite with the con-
gress, which gave her a rising
vote of thanks for her work.
She received hearty applause
when she walked to the speakers

Granite Head Starts Suit to Get
First Run Pictures for Local Theatre

owner of the Pastime Theatre in
Union City, and B. F. Keith, owner OF
the Twin Theatres in Union City.
The complainants claim the Fa-
s-Players-Laskey Corp. will not
give them pictures within three weeks
of release as they do in the case of
the other theatres mentioned and the
purpose of the suit is to get first-run
pictures for the Grant-Lee Theatre.
Mr.. Kelly said today in statement
to the press, "The Palisade Theatre
Corp. is owned by hundreds of stock
holders who have entrusted me to
manage their affairs and give the Hill
top section the very best and newest
in motion picture entertainment. Pow
erful interests are at work to deprive
the patrons of the Grant-Lee Theatre
of first-run motion picture productions
with the thought in mind of attract
ing them to other playhouses. The
practice must stop. The protection OF
the corporations interests, the safe
guarding of the rights of the movie
going public in this vicinity, and the
just challenge unfair competition de-
serves, is what prompted me to wage
this fight"

The finest collection of Chinese art
works in the world is owned by a
Palisade resident, Gustav Feuerbach,
of Bluff and Cumbermede roads, who
recently bought the. former Pinand
home. Mr.. Feuerbach is the head of
a large importing firm at 500 Broad
way, New York, who travel men all
over the world, and sell Chinese prod
ucts in every land. They are widely
known in every American state. Mr..
Feuerbach has spent over twenty
years in China, and has much close
association with the emperors and
other potentates of that oldest of all
countries. 1t was by permission and
under the direction of the Chinese
Emperor that many of the art works
now owned by Mr.. Feuerbach were
gathered and many of these treasures
were given special permits to be car
ried out of that country. He speaks
of the Chinese rulers as very human
as we'll as interesting people. He has
man confidential letters and other
documents to establish this associa-
ton.
1t is interesting to note that of the
thousands of wonderful and carefully
selected pieces of Chinese art, many
of them were special favors and given
up with much regret, and many of
them can never be reproduced. This
is strikingly illustrated in the OK
blood vases owned by Mr.. Feuerbach
and obtained through the influence Of
the Chinese emperor. He has the or
iginal, as we'll as the last ox-blood
vase ever made, the difference in the
two being readily apparent.
1t is fact that these oX-blood vases
were made of genuine OK blood, and in
order to preserve the secret, or rather
to prevent their further manufacture,
the originator of the process and his
family were ordered executed by the
emperor which was done. The Won
derful, rich color of the ox-blood vase
is apparent to any casual observer.
The coloring was done on the pottery
entirely with OK blood and it has never
been duplicated.
The editor of The Palisadian was
this week given a view of the several
thousand pieces of Mr.. Feuerbach's
amazing private collection contained
in a special building erected for their
care in Twenty-ninth street, Wood
cliff. On the floor of the upper room
of this private museum was installed
during the visit, a beautiful Chinese
rug about eighteen by twenty-five feet,
of exquisite yellow tone and the finest
weave with an appropriate border.
The walls of the two floor museum
are covered with shelves and brackets
containing hundreds of exquisite
vases of every hue, shape, size and
design. Some of these vases are in
pairs, and puzzle the visitor by ap-
pearing to be exact duplicates, yet
palpably different, at the same time
defying the casual observer. Once

E. Thornton Kelly, president OF the
Palisade Theatre Corp, owners OF the
Grant-Lee Theatre at Palisade juno
tion, has secured a temporary injunc-
tion against the Famous Players-Las-
key Corp. and six motion picture the
atre owners in Hudson, Bergen and
Passaic Counties. Mr.. Kelly's charge
is that the defendants have conspired
to deprive the Grant-Lee Theatre of
first-run motion pictures
The injunction issued by Vice Chan
cellor Bentley, on Saturday last, re-
strains the defendants from continu-
ing to conspire, if such be the case,
and was accompanied by an order call
ing upon them to show cause Novem-

the differences are pointed out, how
ever, the deception is apparent
In the collection are a number of
large vases admitted free of duty by
United States customs, due to the
fact that they are over one hundred
years old. The authenticity of age is
established by records and also by the
popularity of the paint contained in
the decorations.
This remarkable collection contains
scores of bronzes, also made into
many fantastic shapes with dragons
and other animals predominating. The
bronzes are all beautifully artistic and
of rare workmanship. These and
many of the fine vases are centuries
old, many from the Sixteenth century
and even earlier. There are some
beautiful bronze pagodas, special
appeal, evidently, in Chinese art pro-
duction, with their slanted roofs built
in graduated form ten or more stories
high, converging to point at the
top.
Other things contained in Mr..
Feuerbach's collection are scores of
wood-carved panels, intricate to the
last degree, and cut out of single
piece of fiat, soft wood, about an inch
thick. One of these panels, eight
inches wide by two feet long, may
contain fifty figures of people, men,
women and children, pine trees, ami
mails, roadWays, made in perspective,
and the whole colored by hand in
every hue. They are almost miracles
of art. If the artisan makes slip
in the carving of one of the figures
on these panels, the whole is destroy
ed They therefore come to the own
er absolutely perfect, of beauty, too,
truly amazing.
In the collection, also, are scores
of Chinese paintings, six tc eight feet,

by feet wide, on silk, mounted for
exhibition on rolls, the satin being
glued to a wonderfully fine and very
strong paper. These paintings are,
many of them, spectacular in their
beauty and treatment, all typical of
oriental conception in art.
There are many dazzling embroider-
les in the collection including coats,
cloaks, etc. These are of the rarest
workmanship, making special appeal
to women, and which are much ad-
mired.
Some of the folding screens Mr..
Feuerbach has in this wondrous mu-
scum wrought in silk embroidery, are
of ravishing, almost astonishing
beauty. And there are so many things
in this rare collection that any at
tempt at detail would be impossible.
1t must be seen to be appreciated.
Some of the official buckles made of
precious stones, and obtained through
the emperor are of special interest,
their construction being of peculiar
charm. The collection of jades, too, is
remarkable, many of the white jade
specimens being of rarest beauty and
quality.
The Chinese, regarded the world
over as a primitive people are, in fact,
the most remarkable nation of all his
tory. The geologic and other records
prove it at least as old as the oldest
of civilized countries, and these art
productions establish it as the legiti-
mate mother of art. 1t is the sim
ring true. 1t is free from frills or fads,
and speaks for itself in all that
thought and feeling could demon
strate. In point of expression Chinese
art needs no defender. Its simple
naturalness establishes it as full of
heart, thought and all of those tender
emotions which have sought express
sion through the ages China has
given the world both the wonder of
simplicity and the tenderness of soul

of the most artistic carved wood cabi-
nets ever brought to this or any coun-
try, including an imperial Chinese bed
in red, wonderfully carved, red being
one of the dominant colors in Chinese
wood carving. The cabinets lin red,
also) containing concealed chests of
drawers are beautiful creations. The

hand carved jades in all colors, and
include scores of small perfume bot
ties, hand-painted on the inside, the
miniature pictures being visible from
the outside through the glass. These
inside bottle paintings are almost un-
believable. The first floor of the

with Chinese art. 1t will be rare

MAYOR WHITE HONORED.
AT VICTORY DINNER
Prominent Men in Both Parties
Present; Beginning of New Era
of Inter-Boro Cooperation.

Republicans and Democrats joined
hands last night to honor Mayor Ed
ward A. White at Victory dinner
given in his honor at Cella's Park Ho-
tel on Whiteman street in Fort Lee.
The keynote of the entire affair was
the beginning of a movement for the
betterment and development of the
Hilltop through cooperative effort
of the officials of all municipalities
regardless of political faith.
Losers as we'll as victors were on
hand and those who were not success
full in the recent contest were lauded
by the speakers for the wonderful
spirit of craftsmanship they had DEM
onstrated by being present.
During the dinner of beefsteak
sandwiches and near-beer professional
entertainers kept the gathering in
good spirits and about ten o'clock the
POSTMASTER, James Moore, arose and
told of promising the women that the
opCCSuCo WOulQ p6 SuOl
Moore is without peer in this section
as a POSTMASTER and he made some
very appropriate remarks pertinent to
the occasion and introduced each
speaker with pleasantries bright
and entertaining as we'll as serious.
He read messages from Judge Arthur
Agnew, William Conklin and Pete
Sicarrdi expressing their regret be-
cause they were not able to be
present.
John Vogel, president of the Fort
Lee Democracy, was the first speaker
and said that in time Fort Lee would
have Democratic organization to
rival any in Hudson county.
Mrs. Anna Acaline, chairwoman Of
the woman's auxiliary, told of how
hard the women worked and gave due
credit to the part they played in the
campaign.
