As his story came out, slowly, word by word, officials who had listened to many stories without the quiver of an eyelash grew sympathetic and finally sent the man to a hotel for rest. He is James John Brady, 82 years old, a resident of Vincennes, Ind., and he had run away from his boarding house in St. Louis to see New York, which he left when he was thirty-five years of age, and to attend a Democratic National Convention. For months he saved part of his pension money and one morning, without telling his relatives, he slipped on a train for the big city. But things cost more in New York than they do in Vincennes and he could not locate Charles A. Greathouse, a National Committee man of Indiana, from whom he expected to get a ticket of admission to the Garden. But now officials of the society have located Mr. Greathouse, a ticket has been provided for the Civil War veteran and after it is all over he will be sent back to his boarding house. Mr. Brady characterized Brooklyn Bridge as a great improvement over the old Fulton Street ferry but, admitted that his greatest interest lay

Mr. Brady characterized Brooklyn Bridge as a great improvement over the old Fulton Street ferry but, admitted that his greatest interest lay with the Democrats with whom he has voted all his life. “I want to see them nominate Senator Haley, and if he cannot get it, then I am for Al Smith. The platform is going to make a lot of trouble. I’m for letting people have light wives and beer, but I am against whiskey and brandy. It never did any good. As far as the Ku Klux Klan goes, ‘the board forgives the wise, for they know not what they do’ A These Democrats delegates certainly know the ropes here in little old New York, more than one metropolitan policeman has justly conceded. Just look at this for instance! A delegate with his better half in tow, toiling and perspiring, waltzed easily up to a traffic officer, Particular Mr. at the High Bridge station, properly introduced himself and companion as Mr. and Mrs. Delegate-at-large from Kansas. Osgood, Kansas, and then the remainder of the Kansas family politely asked the policeman to “mind in your wife for a few minutes.” The delegate left and returned in fifteen minutes to find the policeman alternately talking to his wife, directing traffic and answering inquiries. This is the first time, it is said,

More than $4,032,000 in gifts were made during the last year by the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Foundation according to a recent announcement of the trustees. Of this amount more than $1,470,000 went for foreign emergency relief. The remainder went to social service work, demonstrations, investigations, and further search. Among the other gifts which it announced were the following: Silver Bay Association $150,000, Institute of Crippled and Disabled Men, $20,000, New York Tuberculosis Association $37,000, National Bureau of Economic Research $12,500, Association for the Blind $40,000 (the Consumption Home for the Poor). At the age of eleven years John Hertz began his life as a copy boy in a newspaper office, just recently, at the age of forty-five, he effected a $20,000,000 deal in the control of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company and the Chicago Motor Coach Company. The deal, one of the biggest here in recent months, means that the International Transit Company, which controlled a majority of the voting stock of the Fifth Avenue Company, will step out and the Omnibus Company of America as well be the holding company for the interests formed.

With the ever increasing traffic — accentuated since Waterloo Bridge has been closed except to pedestrians — the problem of street circulation continues to worry Londoners. But the new one-way traffic regulations which are now in operation, appear to be giving some satisfaction. These regulations have just been tested to deal with the aftermath theater rush. At 10:30 all North-bound traffic vehicles from Trafalgar Square are diverted up Regent Street and the South-bound ones proceed via the Haymarket and the Northern side of Trafalgar Square. Superintendent Basson, London's traffic chief, is satisfied with the working of the scheme. At the first attempt, it was in operation until 11:30 and by that time most of the theater traffic had finished. People got into it quite well with a few exceptions. Regular West End drivers know almost by the look of the policeman controlling when he is going to move the line. The plan, of course, is to be extended. A ramble around the International Toy Exhibition which is being held

A ramble around the International Toy Exhibition which is being held this week at the Royal Agricultural Hall, shows that foreign toys easily outnumber British products. With Germany probably taking the lead. One German novelty is a complete gramophone for 3s. 11d. Double-sided records are 1s. each. There are some strange novelties for the summer girl, notably a powder pail. This is a tiny box with twelve tinier boxes of various colored powders inside. All lights and complexions are catered for. Then there is a pretty work bag that becomes an apron complete with pockets by pulling a string. The old-time doll that rolls when it falls downstairs is superseded by a baby that can be put through a microscope and comes out smiling, round and unharmed on the other side. The great stadium at Wembley is being transformed. Before July 21, the wonderful sports arena will have become a fairytale land of tall trees, royal palaces, lofty cathedrals, and fascinating visits. The Regent of Empire promises to be one of the most important spectacles ever produced. Already nearly 15,000 people are busily engaged in rehearsing the various episodes. Lady Irene Curzon, Mrs. Asquith, Lady Torrington, Lady Powson, Lady Denys-Barton, and Lady Griffiths-Boscawen are among the society women who are to

Among the sights for Londoners at present are several vessels belonging to the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla, which have arrived in the Thames for five days. The Malcolm, the flotilla leader, the Vivacious, and the Voyager anchored off Gravesend, the Wryneck and the Walrus off Rochester, and the Vampire and the Waterhen off Greenhithe. The last opportunity Londoners had of seeing anything of the fleet was five years ago, when part of the Channel Fleet anchored off Southend. The first foreign submarines to come through the Thames and Medway since the War are three Danish submarines, which are at Sheerness on a visit. Lord Darling, all smiles and as ready-witted as ever, is back on the Bench this week. He has returned to a divisional court in order to assist Mr. Justice Shearman with King's Bench Division business, which is very much in arrears. He looks fit and well and yesterday he could not conceal his pleasure at being again in the place where he had so long presided. His sprightly mood manifested itself when Mr. J. D. Casswell, the first counsel to address him, expressed his personal pleasure at seeing him back on the Bench. Counsel said that

It was a relic restriction case. Lord Darling replied that he would be glad if the case were put off until he had gone again. By arriving at Baghdad yesterday, the American round-the-world airmen completed another stage on an aerial journey, which, short of the disaster always possible, now seems destined to constitute a marvelous forward step in man's conquest of the air. If they can maintain their present rate of progress, they should reach the shores of the Atlantic before the month is out. Only three of the original four pilots are left in the expedition and the machines are far behind time. Major Frederick L. Martin was forced to drop out when his machine went to wreck on all Alaskan mountain. The delay caused by the search for him, with other mishaps, set them several weeks behind the schedule set for them. When the squadron left California late in April, it was calculated that it would reach Allahabad (India), on June 4. It was hoped in this way to avoid the monsoon wind which brings the rain. Salzburg (Turkey), was to be reached on

When the squadron flew from Attu Island, the Western outpost of the Aleutians, to Paramushiru Bay, in the Northern end of the Kurile group, the longest single jump of the flight was accomplished. For several weeks to come the flying will be over dry land, with wheels replacing the floats on the machines, but long jumps over water are still in prospect. One of these will be necessary over the Atlantic Ocean between the Faroe Islands and Iceland, between Iceland and Greenland, and between Greenland and Northern Canada. The longest will be about 700 miles. It is here that the expedition will again brave perils such as probably no airmen have ever affronted before. It was hoped that the entire trip could be completed before the end of August, so that the airplanes, in their flight from Denmark, might escape the ice in the North Atlantic. The triumphal welcome Washington is planning cannot possibly be held before September. The American airmen have already flown a greater distance than any aerial expedition has ever been, even though they are only halfway around the globe. Théir

Théir accomplishment compares with Harry Hawker’s attempt to fly over the Atlantic after the war, Alcock’s successful flight over the same route, the spanning of the South Atlantic by two Portuguese airmen in 1922, and the trip of American seaplanes from America to Portugal by way of the Azores. Pelletier d’Olivier’s great dash to Tokyo remains the most spectacular feat of long-distance flying in modern times. Squadron Leader MacLaren, the British World flier, is now at Tokyo preparing carefully for the dangerous span across the Northern Pacific. Chaplin Tumult of Frances When Feodor Chaplin walked out to the piano on the stage of the Paris Opéra last night, the audience which very nearly filled the house from top to bottom was pleasantly excited and gave him a cordial greeting. When he walked out for the second part of the programme, he was greeted as a dear friend; but when he left the stage after the final encore, the applause which was his was such as is accorded only to the greatest artists. It was “Volinekh!” the song of the boatmen of the Volga that won the audience. Calls for repetition of the song came as from a single voice. Women forgot

Women forgot to worry whether they were shaking the powder off their noses and their escorts forgot to be dignified. “But,” said Chaplin, “that is very difficult,” and gave instead the song of the Muscovite dancers, which has something of the same lilt and which gave his voice about the same opportunities. WHERE TO GO IN PARIS THIS EVENING Paris and the Provinces; Alleged Swindlers Arrested Authorities Believe They Have Laid Hands at Last on International Gang of Forgers. Two men have been arrested in Paris who are believed to be at the head of an international gang of forgers. They are charged with having placed in circulation false cheques to the amount of 270,000frs. About two weeks ago, a well-dressed man presented himself at the paying teller's window of an American bank in the Boulevard Haussmann, and gave a cheque for $1,500, drawn on a Swiss house. As the cheque was for a large amount, and the customer a total stranger, he was asked to wait until the next day. He left without making any objection. However, he never returned. Yesterday at a hotel pageboy presented to the same teller a cheque for $4,800 drawn on the same Swiss bank. He
