Bureau of the Department of
Labor at Washington, today re-
fused appointment as vice presi
dent of the League of Nations
commission for the protection of
women and promotion of child
welfare, which began sessions to-

program. Miss Abbott said her
instructions did not permit her to
accept office.
The chairman of the commits
sion announced 1t was Americas
turn to have the vice presidency
and that league officials regretted
Miss Abbott's decision because the
work was humanitarian and non
political. Don Pedro Sangro v Ros
de Olano of Spain was selected
president of the commission and
Eugene Regnault, former French
Ambassador to Japan, was named
vice president.
A lively debate resulted from the
presentation of report upon the
alleged forced establishment of
brothels for French troops in the
occupied area of Germany. NJ.
Regnault demanded the report be
stricken from the proceedings.

against one to eliminate the report,

MEMORIAL BRIDGE
BILL HELD IGNORED
Contractors Say Sherri|ps
Failure to Ask Bids
FIouts Congress.

Charges by the Associated General
Contractors of America at their ex-
ecutive meeting today that the Engi-
neer Corps of the United States Army
is ignoring the intent of the bill
authorizing construction of the s14.-
100000 Arlington Memorial Bridge, by
preparing to perform the work with
its own forces, and without receiving
bids, were made TO-DAY
The members of the association
state that the true intention of Con-
gress is that contract bids should be
made, together with a guaranteed day
labor cost by the Army engineers, and
that choice should be made between
the two. According to members of
the association, while Col. Sheriff. has
expressed his intention to build the
bridge by contract. he is actually not
doing so. in that instead of asking for
bids for the entire project he is merely
getting bids on material from some
contractors and the Army engineers
indicate that they are to construct
the entire project themselves.
Charge Faith Breach.
This, the association claims, is mot
only direct violation of the Repub-
lican party platform, but appears to
be breach of faith with the Secre-
tary of War and the committee on
appropriations"
The contractors declared today this
will result in the cost of the bridge
being more than $4,000, 900 because,
they state, a private contractor is
under bond to complete his work at
his bid, while the Army Engineer
Corps is not so regulated.
They generally deplOre the en-
trance of the Army Engineer Corps
into the construction industry of the
country, 1t was stated, and among
many points they cite as to the cost
liness of this is the erection of the
local highway bridge. Their figures
show that the contractors bids for
this bridge amounted to 81 200, 900,
while the cost by day labor, or work
done by the Army engineers with
out contract, amounted to s3,40O, 600,
or loss to the public Of $2,400,000.
See Huge Losses Elsewhere.
They also state that the various
State, county, municipal, and Federal
Government projects erected last
year amounted to $500, 100000, OF
which amount $3.50, ,000,0 900 was a di.
rect loss to the taxpaying public be
cause of the fact that work done by
governmental agencies is not under
contract, and that any excess has to
be paid for by the people.
j. w. Cowper of Buffalo, former
president of the association, in an ad.
dress to the executive committee, de-
clared that the Engineer Corps of the
Army did not make correct estimates
on various projects due to incompe
tency, or else deliberately with malice
aforethought."
| In suggesting that estimates by the
Army Engineers might be deliberately
| falsified Mr.. Cowper said he knew OF
one project undertaken by the Army
Engineers, where they figured 240,0 ,00C
man hours, Whereas on a similar
project ten miles away it had been

NEW YORK, May 20.-Vander-
bilt and Astor mansions, on Fifth
avenue, have been bought within
month by Benjamin Winter, realty
operator, who came to this country

in the passing of this world-famous
thoroughfare from residential
avenue of the socially prominent to
a high class business section.
Yesterday Winter acquired the
ornate residence of the late VIII

sold the Fifth avenue home and
migrated to Sutton place, along

region once conspicuous for brew

now become a social center.
