ROBERT w. CHANLER,
NOTED ARTIST, DIES
Heart Affection of Several Weeks
Is Fatal to Former Husband
of Opera Singer.

WOODSTOCK, N. Y, October "a up.
Robert Winthrop Chanler, noted art
list and former husband of Lima Cava-
lieri, opera singer, died early this morn
ing after long illness.
Death came at 1870 am, after Mr.
Chanler had been in a coma for p
hours.
For weeks he had been confined to
his Summer home here under the con-
slant care Of physicians for heart af-
Fiction. His doctors disclosed two days
ago that they had been forestalled by
his grave condition in. plan to take
him to New York City for further treat
ment.
Last night it was announced the pa
TENTS condition was such as to cause
fear that he would not live another day.
Chanler was a descendant of both
Gov Winthrop of Massachusetts, and
Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Gov
ernor of New York.
Born 81 years ago, on February %,
1873, he ignored the advice of his fam
lily, who wanted him to follow a po-
litical career, and turned in early youth
TO the study Of art.
His first European study was in the
sculpture classes of Mariana Benlliure
at Rome, but after time he turned to
painting and took a studio in Paris.
Three years ago it was reported that
Mr.. Chanler was engaged to Isadora
Duncan the day before she was killed
in Southern France.

BINGHAM HOPEFUL
FOR LARGER FUND
Senator to Continue Study
of Fiscal Relations to In
crease Lump Sum-.

Returning to Washington after an abb
sence of several months, Senator Bing-
ham of Connecticut, chairman of the
Senate. Subcommittee on District APP
preparations, expressed the hope today
that the forthcoming investigation of
fiscal relations by Special House Com
mittee would develop additional reasons
to justify the position taken by the Sen
ate at the last session for a more
equitable Federal contribution.
The Senate at the last session advo-
Gated $12,000,000 as the Federal share
toward the appropriation bill for the
current year of nearly $45,000,000, but
the House stood out for weeks against
any increase above the former contri-
button of 100000. In the closing
hours of the session the Senate group
succeeded in obtaining from the House
a compromise raising the Federal share
to S9,500000 for the current year, fol-
lowing which the House named the spe-
cial committee to study the question
first before the next bill is taken I'D.
While the Senate Gid not create a
special committee of its own, Senator
Bingham, chairman of the regular Sub
committee on Appropriations, has indi-
Gated that he will continue to study
the subject with a view to strengthen
ing the position taken by the Senate.
Referring to his recent journey to the
Pacific Coast and back, Senator Bing-
ham said:
Course Not Criticized.
Elm my travels across the country I
did not talk with anyone who felt that
the Federal contribution was too large.
In fact the general feeling seemed to
be a desire on the part of the people
for beautiful National Capital one in
which Americans could take pride
while expecting the District of
Columbia to do its fair share, the
position taken by the Senate was not
criticized by anyone with whom
talked"
Senator Bingham said he was very
much interested in the forthcoming
inquiry by the House committee of seven
members. He added he was sorry it
was not joint committee.
IT hope the report of the House COM
mittee will give additional reasons for
justification of the position maintained
by the Senate" Senator Bingham said.
Since the adjournment of Congress
the Senator has requested the Commits
sionerS to compile a report showing in
detail the area and value of property
owned by the Federal Government, by

CHAMBER BEGINS
''BUY-NOW" DRIVE
Pulpit and Press Asked to
Help End Public
Skepticism.

Through pulpit and press. the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce today
started drumming a message to buy and
buy now in an effort to offset business
depression and unemployment in the
Capital and throughout the Nation.
The move of the chamber was
launched under the slogan of Buy Now
for Prosperity" proposed by George A.
G. Wood, president of the Washington
Gas Light Co., who was recently elect
ed second vice president of the group,
and whose plan, upon being outlined
to the board of directors of the cham
Der. was instantly adopted without
dissenting vote.
Declares Business Is Sound.
Fundamentally" Mr. Wood said,
business conditions in the country to-
day are sound-as sound as ever they
have been. But the attitude of the
public is skeptical. I believe that
movement to convince the people of
the soundness of business conditions
today should originate in Washington
and move through the Nation. If the
people could be brought to realize the
true situation today, money would i'm
mediately begin to circulate and there
would no longer exist the impression
of a business depression
Mr.. Wood expressed the opinion that
the churches would be anxious to CO.
operate in this prosperity campaign and
that he felt convinced that such
movement, originating in the Capital OF
the United States, would rapidly develop
throughout the country.
The board Of directors, with Rudolph
Jose, newly elected president OF the
Chamber, presiding, appointed Mr.. Wood
chairman of committee which viii

aid of the press and the churches Of

Mrs. Rogers Fills New Position.
The board voted to create a new Of
flee on the board of the chamber, that
of assistant secretary. 1t also elected
Mrs. Marie c. Rogers to fill the posi-
ton Mrs Rogers has been an assistant
in the Office of the chamber for several
years.
Col. William o. Tufts was elected by
the board to serve as a member OF the
board of directors to fill the unexpired
term created by the resignation of
Henry G. Stringer.

lob HUNT PLACED
FIRST BY WOODS
Expects Relief Machinery to
Be "Under Full Steam
Within Week."
By the Associates Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The problem of unemployment will
be attacked by Col. Arthur Woods, Gov
eminent relief director, with view,
first, to find employment for as many
persons as possible and, second, to pro-
vide relief in those cases where en-
ployment is not available.
Although stressing the task of feeding
the unemployed was one for local organ
izations to handle, Col. Wood today said
the Federal Government would assist in
aiding the States to work out plans to
increase the number of jobs and to
care for families which do not have a
bread-winner.
He announced he had obtained the
services of Fred C. Croxton, Columbus,
Ohio. to cooperate with the Governors
of States in the Middle West. Croxton,
he said, was largely responsible for a
successful plan worked out in Ohio to
take care of the unemployed
Woods said the most seriously af-
fected region appeared to be the Great
Lakes States and Croxton would work
in them. He expects to appoint about
three other regional directors to CO.
operate with the States.
VIII Continue Hoover Set-up.
Our main idea now is to intensity
efforts and stimulate renewed activity
to get over the Winter Woods said. Il
expect to continue the admirable policies
and the organization set up a year ago
by President Hoover with States and

this way greatly reduced what would

they have prevented acute distress up
to this time.
The problem embraces two phases

vision Of relief in those cases where en-
ployment Is not available. The first is
obviously very much to be desired but
the last will be necessary also.
There are two directions in which
more intensive organizations can work.
One Is geographical-that is, through
the Nation, the States, municipalities
and the counties. The other is by in
