Elisabeth Poe is not a modernist-
far from it--neither is she in the or
dlnary sense visionary. Her i'm
aglnings are of a wholesome, grand

Creator Of miracles in Nature. They
are part of herself as the music

the master poet by the invisible elf

Pulitzer Prize Awards Arouse
Library Patrons Interest

Did Sinclair Lewis ever win the
Pulitzer prize?
Has the award gone to the same
person more than once?
Has any other than an American
citizen ever won Pulitzer award?
These are among the questions
now being asked at the Central Lii
brary, Eighth and K streets NV,
and at the various branches of the
library, since another Pulitzer award
in letters has been made and as
always is strongly reflected in in
quiries about various aspects of the
award and in demand for the
prize-winning books.
The awards in fiction, drama and
biography this year were unusually
well received, for "The Yearling,"

Selected Poems," by John Gould

represent less popular forms of lit

Pulitzer prize has so often been of
scholarly type that popular inter-

could be more appropriate for the
adornment of a room dedicated to
the advancement and enjoyment OF
music?
Approximately 8 by 10 feet in di-
mensions. this handsome tapestry
represents an elaborate landscape
in the midst of which is seen Apollo,
surrounded by the MUSES. and at
tended by nymph. The scene takes
place on Mount Parnassus. On a
gentle knoll near a meandering
stream and before a temple sacred
to himself sits Apollo crowned with
a laurel wreath and playing upon his
Tyre. At his right is the partial fig
ure of nymph holding cornucopia
laden with fruit.
Before him are grouped the five
Muses-at the top the graceful figure
of Terpsichore Muse of the dance,
her left hand upraised and holding
tambourine In front of her. stand
ing behind the slope of the knoll, is
the partial figure of Erato, Muse of
erotic poetry. holding a small Tyre
and apparently addressing Euterpe,
the Muse of lyric song, who holds a
trumpet in her right hand. A step
below is Thalia, Muse of comedy,
typified by the mask which she holds
in her lap, and beside her, Poly
hvmnia, the Muse of sacred song,
who completes the group and is pic
tured playing an instrument resem-
bling small viola,
These figures take their place ad-
mirably in the landscape, which is
beautifully composed and very we'll
balanced. To the left are tall trees
with handsome foliage; in the fore
ground are plants and flowers;
across the sky fly a flock of large
birds. Finally the whole is inclosed
in a border of framelike conven-
tional design.
Obviously this work was produced
during the classical revival Authori-
ties are now of the opinion that it
dates from about 1700 and was woven
in France, probably at Beauvais, by
Flemish weavers brought hither be-
cause of their exceptional skill and
training, by Louis XIV. Mr.. Ffoulke
felt that the Flemish influence was
dominant in it and that it might
have been woven at Malines, but,
after all, where and when it was
done is not significant in compari-
son to it's interest and beauty as a
work of art
With the tapestries owned by the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, given by
Senator Clark and other generous
donors, those in the Washington
Cathedral on Mount St. Alban, and
now this in the Whittal pavilion of
the Library of Congress, there is
probably no other city in this coun-
try. save New York, as rich in works
in this field as is Washington And
how charming they are, as we'll as
what miracles of workmanship, to
say nothing of design and concep-
ton.

A second exhibition, but one of
shorter duration, opened simultane-
ously with that of the Poe water
colors in the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery. This consists of oil paintings
by Henry Botkin and will be found
in Gallery E on the second floor. For
the most part these are of people
who come from the lower stratas OF
society and have experienced those
hardships of life which lead to i'm
poverishment not only of body but
of spirit. The painter may not have
exaggerated the effects of the condi-
tions under which the majority of
the people he has painted have lived,
but he certainly has not in most in
stances softened the impression or
given the faintest glimpse. in those
he has depicted, of the Divine spark.

ing, spontaneous and at the same
time substantial.
Miss Moves has found her subjects

Hoffman has set forth racial types
in sculpture, SO has Bertha Noyes in
these sensitive color drawings. In
spectlng them in the aggregate, one
has a lesson in internationalism far
more effective than could ever be
the written word. She knows us real
people, from alien races, hkable peo-
pie, impressive with dignity and re-
serve, observing which, one cannot
fail to recognize those ties which
irrevocably bind into one great
family all mankind. Yet it is all so
very simply and unassumingly done
that the tendency may be to COM
pletely overlook the power, control
and modesty of the artist.

would take you a week to read that information and all you hear is Hayes and Leary and Kelly with out a scintilla of evidence to show that any of them were concerned in the conspiracy. Without sug- gestion of evidence to show that Mayor Hayes knew anything about it.
 I am not going to go into that I know your patience has been 8 refreshing thing and I am going to close now in a moment. By this information, Frank Hayes is caarg- ed with the disappearance of rec ords. He is charged with the dis appearance of records in this case and you never heard word out of the lips of . living witness that he ever had anything to do with the records. Now, if you want to build up monuments against the man that has been the lieutenant-gover- nor of this state twice and mayor of this city four terms, on the shift ing shadow of speculation. that's your duty.
 Again Turning to Alcorn
 Perhaps you think you're right: perhaps you're thinking you're do- ing your duty by this state, but I know you are wrong and know that Frank Hayes is innocent and I know that I'm right in what l say and if you can convict this man on surmise, as said, the greatest guessing game I've ever seen in my entire legal career, then I say to you, ladies and gentlemen, that the laws have changed; and I say that it is laws and when I tell you that Mayor Hayes, as you know was lieutenant-governor of this state for two terms, you know he wasn't elected only by the Democrats: you know that he also was elected by the Republicans, and he couldn't have the nefarious character as has been painted here if the citizens and voters of the State of Connec- ticut had that confidence in him. And you will remember that he was on the opposing ticket with MT. AL corn when that distinguished gen. tleman ran for governor, and you know that Mayor Hayes ticket won. I know there is no significance in the persecution that he's been giv- ing this man in this case by reason of that fact and I hope there are no scars left from that campaign.
 But I say to you that this man is unjustly charged. Everything that is nearest and dearest to hi mis at stake; where 1t will be written in the family Bible for generations to come the fact that he is a state prison felon where he and his name and his reputation must forever be hidden away from the rest of the family; but I don't think that you will do 1t. Remember Dan Leary only has one life to live. Don't you, ladies and gentlemen, implore you by your verdict ever close the doors of tomorrow in Frank Hayes face.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-11

of Connecticut has as MT. William son on the witness stand swore that Mackenzie never had a failure.
 Sorry For Williamson
 I won't say anything harsh about Charles Williamson. I'm sorry for him from the bottom of my heart: he's been fighting here not only for his professional life, but he is fight ing for the life of his family and his reputation and his liberty just the same as these men are. But I doubt very much whether Charlie told the truth, ladies and gentle men. For the grand jury testimony undoubtedly disclosed perjury, that he swore that he never gave a dol lar to Dan Leary and he always re- mained consistent here on the wit ness stand that he never gave Frank Hayes a dollar, never spoke to Frank Hayes about anything; Frank Hayes never had anything whatever to do about any payments.
 Now, the entire theory of the states case so far as Frank Hayes is concerned is that he must have known of irregularities in the city of Waterbury, that he must have known about the warrants payable sheets, of the items that were add ed; that he must know that there were excessive fees paid to con- trollers; that he must have known that there were kickbacks although don't grant you that there is any such proof in this case beyond req sonable doubt that the state as- sumed the burden of proof; but he must have.
 Well, when you got to infer or guess or surmise or speculate that someone must have known some thing, then you no longer have any proof in this case.
 Now, when the states attorney says that MT. Hayes must have known" when he asks you that question, I ask this question Qacing Alcorn) MT. States At torney, your son, Meade Alcorn, ana your Otner assistant states aL- torney, MT. Mitchell, were in the state legislature all the years that Mackenzie was supposed to have been bartering from the Crows Nest. Did they know what Mackenzie was doing? Did they know what Will liamson was doing? (And I am not criticizing the states attorney, mark you, am just arguing reason0 They were in the state legislature; if they didn't know anything about this sit- uation, is it fair to ask that Frank Hayes should have known everything that happened in the city of Wa terbury? Weren't they just as close to the state legislature as Frank Hayes was to the city of Waterbury? And wouldn't it be fine, fair thing for me to say to MT. Hugh Alcorn: MT. Alcorn, you're the states attor- ney of Hartford county. Why didn't you know, as states attorney of Hartford county, that there were irregularities in lobbying in the state legislature? Wouldn't it be just as
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-11

tair for me to say, why didn't you lind 1t out? You were paid for it. Wouldn't it be just as fair to say that as to say to Frank Hayes, why didn't you find out everything hat happened in the city of Wa serbury? I think that is a fair question. I think it is proper, ex- act analogy.
 Mackenzie's Habits
 You know about Mackenzie. I don't want to lay any restrictions on Harry Mackenzie's conduct. There is no one more sorry than am, who doesn't use drugs. As matter of fact, didn't bring out that he used drugs. It was the states at- torney that did that. f I didn't follow 1t up in cross examination, as sorry as I am for the man, to show what kind of man he was. wouldn't have been doing my duty. It wasn't that wanted to hurt his feelings or embarras shim. God knows I've loved every creature God has created; I never caused man one moments misery or anxiety; wasn't t brought up that way; I wasn't taught that way at my mother s knee. But I had a great duty here.
 MT. Alcorn, Sr., set up scene when janitotr or two were asked perfectly proper questions b. law yers in pursuit of the preparation of the case. They had a right to do it, and you heard MT. Alcorn unctiously say, the Diamond Ginger Ale-you drove a mile and a half out of town. Why didn't the law yers question you here in the court room? Now, that was a terrible thing for lawyers to go to the Dia- mond Ginger Ale office where all conveniences were to talk to a witt ness after office hours.
 But I think I can match one. He will ask the question ss to why Carroll went to the Diamond Ginger Ale to be questioned by lawyers, but I'll ask him question about something that appears in this rec OlN. 4Ou uuJ Ill1t MT. Hickey testified that he went up to the grand jury room and within the shadow of the doors waited for Mackenzie to come out or Olsen. At any rate, one of them had been in the grand jury room and he waited for him. He didn't take him to the Diamond Ginger Ale office. Where do you suppose he took them? Where do you sup pose he said he took them when he attempted to make Olsen change his testimony by confronting him with Mackenzie. Not to the Dia- mond Ginger Ale, but to the ladies toilet. Now, maybe MT. Hickey knows more about the ladies' toilet than I do, and I confess I know nothing whatever about 1t. But fl I had to have a conference, would rather have it in the Diamond Gin ger Ale office than ladies toilet.
 All you hear in this information is Hayes and Leary and Kelly Hayes and Leary and Kelly. Il
