PHILOPATRIAN BALL Annual Affair to Bo Given at tho Bellevue Stratford This Year. Larger and more spectacular than any of Its predecessors, the annual reception of the Catho lic Phllopatrlan -Literary Institute, -which for 48 years has marked the close of Catholic so clal activities on tho eve of the penitential Bca son of Lent, will be held tonight In the Bellevue-Stratford. Finishing touches were given to tho plans of the Ball Committee at a meeting In tho Institute headquarters, 1111 Arch street, yesterday afternoon. Tho Phllo reception has been recognized as the lending Catholic social function of the year, and tho officers of the Institute have put forth every effort to add to the brilliance Of each successive affair. In connection with the plan ning of tho 1915 ball, a rousing membership campaign has been conducted, with the result that tho addition of scores of new members has Interested many of the younger set of Catho lic church circles In the success of this year's ball. Men distinguished In public life'' will grace tho occasion by their presence, the acceptances received from city and State officials having been more numerous than in any previous year. Simplicity will characterize the decorative scheme. The illuminated "Phllopatrlan" em blem, which has been a traditional feature of the ball, will predominate over the floral dlB- Play. Several Innovations mark the coming recep tion.. The scene of the dance, which has always been held at the Academy of Muslo since the beginning, has been transferred to the Bellovue, Stratford. Tho elimination of the auction sale of boxes, always hitherto held on the eve of tho ball, Is another departure from time-honored practice. An additional novelty will bo tho demonstration of standardized modern dances on the ballroom floor during the height of the reception by Professor Coll and his two sons and their partners. The reception will formally open at 10 o'clock, as usual, with tho grand march, which will be led by Mr. and Mrs. James F. Herron. Mr. Herron Is president of the Institute and chair man of tho Ball Commttte. ns well as grand conductor. Judge James E. Gorman who, with Mrs. Gorman, led tho grand march last year, wjll act as chairman of tho Reception Com mittee, whll'o Hugh M. Donnelly and Frank A. Mulherln will serve as aides to the grand con ductor. Tho Ball Committee, in charge of all tho plans for the function, Is composed of James F. Herron, chairman; Joseph A. Brady, J. M. J.

Three aro antagonistic In tono. Ono of tho most en tertaining articles Is a description of young Mr. Rockefeller on the stnnd by Walter Llpp mnn In tho New nopubllc (1): tw KckefolIer seemed terribly alone, inr? Wn8.,an ntmosphoro of no quarter. A largo crowd watching Intonscly every oxpros !oit , face- about 20 cameras nnd a small regiment of nowspnpor men, n short- ""'""Porter nt his elbow, nnd confronting mm the commissioners, led by tho no means reassuring Mr. Wnlsh except for an Inde ratlgnbly kindly police sergeant who gave him ono glass of water nfter another, not much was done to pamper tho witness. From tho nrst Mr. Rockefeller wns on tho defensive. To tho chargo that ho has en forced an Industrial absolutism In Colorado, ho replied with much feeling: 'While it has been Bald that I have exer cised an absolute authority In dictating to tho management of tho Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, It has nlno been said that I havo been too Indifferent, and that as a di rector I should have exercised more nuthorlty. Clearly both cannot bo true." Yet It seemed to mo as I listened to him that both could bo true, nnd that In fact It was just such a dilemma which was tho truth. For 10 years Mr. Rockefeller had not Been his property, his relation to it was by letter and by conference with the officials. What ho know of It must havo como to him from them nnd, ob ho haa confessed, ho trusted tholr word. Now when wo speak of tho despotism of the Czar of Russia, we do not mean that ho In person nets despotically In every prov ince of his empire. Wo mean that a des potic hierarchy exists owning alleglnnco to him ns Its titled head. Wo know that If the Czar wished to liberalize his government ho would find himself hampered by his subor dinate officials. But ho has to bear tho re sponsibility for the things that nro done In his name, and because ho has potential power ho Is blamed not only for what ho does but for what ho doesn't do. If first Impressions count for anything, I should describe Mr. Rockefeller as a weals despot governed by a private bureaucracy which ho Is unablo to lead. Ho has been thrust by tho accident of birth Into a posi tion where ho reigns but docs not rule. His Intellectual helplessness was tho amazing part of his testimony. Here was a man who rep resented an agglomeration of wealth prob ably without parallel in history. Ho" Is tho supremo negation of all equality and a symbol of tho most menacing fact in tho life of tho republic. Yet ho tulked about himself on tho commonplace moral assumptions of a small business man. Whllo not going Into details about it. Town Topics suggests the opposite point of view In a paragraph (2): Lawson, a strike leader under 14 Indict ments for murder, two for assault with in tent to kill, ono for arson, ono for conspiracy In restraint of trado and eight for contempt of court, was permitted to testify before tho Federal Commission on Industrial Relations, and described J. D. Rockefeller, Jr.. as In competent, Inslncero and reckless. Insin cere?" That is a matter of opinion, and Law son's opinions havo no value. ''Reckless? That is ho week's best laugh. But Incom petent" would Lawson havo blackguarded him in this way If. In their Interview, ho had not found Mr. Rockefeller fully competent to take care of himself and his Property? Let Mother Jones nnd Rockefeller, Jr.. settle It. Whose Money Is It? The Survey, quoting from a speech made by Frank Walsh, chairman of the commis sion, gives some interesting figures (3): The benefactions of the world last year amounted roughly to $300,000,000, principally gifts made In the United States The -Income of one great foundation was 514.000,000, or four times more than tho appropriation spent by tho Government of the United States In AMUSEMENTS Victoria Theatre MARK MTir. mt PItlCES lOo AND iOp Thl Wek Worlil Film Corporation 1'reMnts "YOUR GIRL AND MINE" A Powerful.

"Why 1h It that tho leaders of tho indus tries to which wo glvo our HVea are able to make these donations of millions from lh profits of our labor, whllo we aro pehnileaa and out of employment? "Whnt Is wrong with a syBtem Under whioh at best we can earn a bare livelihood, while mon who buy our labor are able, from tho profits of our Industry, to tnalto Buch tro mendous contributions to charity?" Speaking of Mr. Walsh, Llfo commehte with accustomed lovlty (4): No ono should object to his having what fun ho can with tho foundations whllo tho money lasts that hl.t commission lives on. Thero Is nothing sacred about tho founda tions. It happened that In a curlousV period In tho development of tho country two oxcp tionally canny men dlvortcd jnto tfidr owrt possession such an altogether absurd super fluity of monoy that, hardy no they wore they wero embarrassed by it, and finally, after a good deal of pain and many minor reliefs, throw up, each of them, a foundation, and have Blnco so ono hears rested somowlint easier. And another foundation was created out of tho leavings of nn amai)ng old skin flint who had nil tho fun ho wanted in. .Rot ting 200 millions together and left them to his widow to try to spread them nround again. Tho wonderful thing about tho foun dations is thnt they aro in such good hands and do so much good. Thoy actually seem to do moro good than harm, which is an unusual record for money, which Is so very apt In largo quantities to do moro harm than good. Leslie's Weekly does not accept Chairman Walsh as philosophically (6); T,nLsh lfl a Politician ucoklng a eqat in tho United States Senate. Howe's Iortthly charges thnt. when tho commission met In Colorado, Chnlrman Walsh questioned a labor loader for only two houra, and then insisted upon cross-examining for nearly four days President Wolborn. of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. Tho labor leader represented the violators of tho law, and Mr. Welborn represented those wlioso property had been destroyed by rioters. Theso aro serious accusations. CoKgresB, In its eager deslro to Investigate men and things, should Inqulro, into tho antics and notions of Mr. Walsh. That ho should pub licly assail tho generous and phllanthropio foundations established by Carn6gie, Hirsch, Sngo and Mr. Rockefeller and seriously pro poso that the monoy of tho taxpayora bo used Instead of tho funds so liberally provided by theso foundations.
