DISAGREEABLE RUG FACTORY

Became Poet Laureate.

NEW YORK, January 4.-If condi-

field might today be New York
physician instead of poet laureate of
England.
With a far-away look in his gray
eyes. Masefield sat last night before
huge stone fireplace in the home Of
Mrs. Thomas w. Lamont and discussed
the two years he spent as a factory
hand and saloon employe in this coun-
try.
He and Mrs. Masefield had just ar

slightly stopped, with iron gray hair,
black suit and a black windsor tie

eager to answer questions.
Worked in Saloon.
He told how as boy of IT he came
to America and worked in a Greenwich
Village saloon for $40 a month and
board; how friend of the bartender
whom he hopes to see this week. got
him a job in a Yonkers rug factory at
S105 a day, and how after nearly two
years he was getting $3.50 a week
Until then had had only one great
ambition" Masefield continued, still in
his hurried, serious manner, "and that
was to get a sword and cut off my
nurses head.
But while working in a factory I
decided I would become doctor.
grew interested in the part flies play in
transporting diseases. I read lot
about sleeping sickness.
IF conditions in that factory had not
been unpleasant I would undoubtedly
have become an American citizen and
eventually worked my way through a
New York hospital.
But I couldn't stand my surround
ings, and SO I fed back to England.
Just before I started I came across a
book of Chaucer's poems, and that's
what led to my becoming poet"

Masefield wrote great mounds" of
light verse-"yes. very. very light" 1t

REV. v.l'IIFLEM|NG,
NOTED JESUIT, DIES
Curate, at Holy Trinity Had
Been Vice President of
Georgetown and Holy Cross.

Following brief illness, Rev. John j.
Fleming, S. j., assistant pastor Of Holy
Trinity Catholic Church for the last 10
years, died last night at Georgetown
University Hospital
Father Fleming, who was II. had
been in i'll health for some time and
went to the hospital about a week ago.
A vice president of Georgetown Uni
versity more than 10 years before the
World War and vice president also
of Holy Cross College, another Jesuit
institution in worcester, Mass, Father
Fleming had spent most of his life IN
teaching and in parish work. He was
widely known in educational circles.
Jesuit for 50 Years
On October last, Father Fleming
was celebrant at a high mass at Trinity
Church in honor of the flftieth ami
versary of his entrance into the Jesuit
Order. Friends rendered him a recep-
ton on this occasion. For many years
he had resided at Georgetown College,
block distant from the church.
The entire congregation win assemble
Friday night, at 7:30 O'Clock, in the
church. to recite the Offices of the dead.
The funeral will be held Saturday, at
930 am, with burial in the Georgetown
College grounds.
Father Fleming was native Of Troy,
NY.
During the World War he was placed
in charge of the s. A. T. G. at Holy
Cross College. The college was given
over to the Government during the war
for housing and training purposes and
Father Fleming was in charge of equip
ment and discipline.
Active in Social Welfare.
Before coming to Holy Trinity Church
In 1922, as an assistant pastor, he had
been engaged in mission work in New
Jersey and Southern Maryland.
When news of his death was an
nounced last night at the meeting of
the Ladies Sodality at Holy Trinity
Church, which he has sponsored for
the past four years, the ritual of the
Office of the Dead was read in his
honor.
Father Fleming took a very active
part in the social welfare work of the
parish, and was known among the stu
dents at Georgetown as an ardent lover
of sports. He seldom missed base ball
game during the season.
A twin sister was with him when he
died.

place at two huge logs which cast
weird shadows across his face were
these:
Russia is in too great state of
upheaval to produce fine art Of any
kind (" gHDs
People have lost the art of listening.
Nowadays poets can't recite to vast
masses Of people. A poet lives toe
remote from his audience. He thinks
he's not wanted. He takes to gin, then
to opium and then he dies"
"A homeric poet had to interest his
audience, or else they left and went to
a dog fight If an Elizabethan poet
failed to capture attention, his hearers
walked out and went to a public exc
cution.' hA5
Great Poets Temperate.
"There will always be geniuses starv-
ing in attics. The world does its best
to break genius heart, and if it can,
then there's no need to break his head -
Il have not used tobacco or alcoholic
stimulants for 25 years. I work better
without them. All great poets are
temperate. Shelly lived on bread, water
and raisinS. Milton drank only water.
Keats drank for the taste, not the ex-
liberation"
Poetry gives a great deal of pleasure
in this vale of tears. especially in
troubulous times like these, and that's
something. When you're depressed ii
cheers you; when you're bored it gives
you an interest"
When the world gets out of this de-
preston there will be such joy that
a new great poetry will spring up-the
birds singing at the dawn of a new
era"

COSACH PRESIDENT
TSD|SSOLUT|ON
Holds Nitrate Combine Order
by Chile Violates Earlier
Deeds and Contracts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, January 4.-Med-
ley G. D. Whelpley, president of the
Cosach nitrate combine which was Or
dered dissolved Monday, last evening
gave out a statement severely criti-
cizing the action OF the government.
Mr.. Whelpley said that In order to
avoid any damage or hindrance to
forming a reorganiZed company the
Cosach board will deliver the entire
combine to the governments Commit
tee of Liquidation as ordered in Presi-
dent Alessandris decree.
1881 DEGREES Rescinded.
He adde6 however, that ''the board
goes on record as not being willing to
assume any responsibility for the i'm
mediate or future consequences of this
act of the government of Chile"
President Alessandri's decree rescinds
DEGREES Of 1891 which created the or
ganization. Aureliano Burr was ap-
pointed the governments representative
on a committee to take over the COM
pany's affairs with an inventory Of
properties, stocks, books, papers and all
Offices Mr.. sAlessandri asked congress
to vest the committee of three. with full
legal powers.
Mr.. whelpley declared that the Presi-
dents decree was contrary to all deeds
and papers Of organization signed With
legislative authority by the government.
Other Concerns Not Included.
Whelpley noted that the decree did
not apply to the two concerns controlled
by the Guggenheim interests, the Anglo
Chilean and the Lautaro companies.
'The apparent thought behind this
seems to be that these corporations are
separate legal entities, the continued
operation OF which is in the national
interest,"" he said. For Cosach itself
the objective now appears to be to undo
the amalgamation of the "a companies
which now constitute the combine, a
formidable if not impossible task"
