MR FKBNCH'S THt.KCmAM.
Favorablo action by Congress on the

egrams exchanged between Howard B.
French, president of tho Philadelphia
Chamber of Commcrco nnd Congressman
3. Hampton Mooro. Tho Chamber of
Commerce has been Instrumental In tho
campaign for tho drydock nnd Navy
yard development.
Mr. French's telegram to Mr. Mooro
reads :
"Owing to lack of drydock facilities nt
Government or prlvnto yards, nro nny pro
visions being made for a 1700-foot dry
dock nt Lcnguo Island. It Is greatly
needed nnd tho Government should bo
Urged to provide for It at once."
To this message Congressman Moore re
plied: "Answering your telegram would say
outlook very fnvornMe for now 1700 dry
dock nt Philadelphia Nnvy Ynrd. Bellcvo
Philadelphia nnd Norfolk will each get
drydocks for largest vessels allont, but
commltteo will not confirm yet."
Those telegrams, dnted yesterday, pre
ceded by a few hours the announcement
of tho action of the IIouso Nnfnl Commit
tee favoring the drydock here.

Hundreds of bluejackets were kept busy

Before College Art Asso
ciation of America
SCORES "STORAGE" IDEAS
Art students In the colleges of the
country nro lacking In culture. If they
could study gome ol tho masterpieces of
art In the American museums and In pri
vate galleries they would bo greatly bene
fited nhd the general status of their cul
ture Improved. Thereforo, lnsti-ad of al
lowing tho great paintings to remain In
storage they should bo taken out occa
sionally and sent nbout to the art Bchools
of tho country In order to help tho em
bryo artists.
This was tho substances of tho remarks
made today by W. A. CJrimth, of Kansas
University, before tho fifth nnnunl meet
ing of tho College Alt Association of
Amorlca meeting nt HoUBton Hall. The
conference will closo today, nftcr having
been in session slnco Thursday night.
Other methods of Improving tho culture
of nrt students In tho colleges were con
sidered In tho meeting today. "Too many
copies nnd not enough orlglnnls" wns
dlngnosed ns ono of tho nllmcnts In Atncr
Icnn nrt galleries by participants In a
symposium on "The College Art Museum
nnd Art Gallery," who said that this fault
was being Imitated in tho nrt museums
In those universities where nrt Is being
taught. They advocated chnnglng condi
tions so that thero would bo In future moro
originals nnd fewer copies.
SIZE OF NO VALUE.
Tho speakers said It was better to have
a small and good art museum than n Inrgo
and bad one. They declared n Inrgo num
ber of photographs of paintings wns not
of nearly so much uso to the students ns
n few original canvases. Photographs
glvo Ilttlo Idea of size, nnd often cause
a fnlso' conception of proportion.
Tho speakers expressed their disapproval
of plaster models of tho works of the
sculptors.
"Plaster," they said, "Is dead. It does
not convey tho senRO of life that marble
does. There should bo original works of
sculpture ns well as painting."
ELECTION OF OFFICEIIS.

tistic beauty. In tho opinion of Andrew
Wright Crawford, secretary of tho Art
Jury. Ho suggested that tho representa

SIR ALPHONSE SPEEDS, NOT TO MAKE
TIME, BUT TO GET BY JERSEY ROADS
- .
Hates Them, He Says, as He Pays Fine in Camden and
Gives a Smoke to Policeman Who
Arrested Him
Sir Alphonse Arandlco, of Montreal,
doesn't llko Jersey roads,
He despises them so much, In fact, that
every time ho meets one ho speeds over
It like n flash In his "motah." Alphonso
Incidentally hates to bo bored about such
a thing as a Jersey law, So on leaving
Atlantic City today he sped like a rocket
toward Camden.
Tho unearthly screech of his Klaxon
was followed by a thick cloud of dust.
Somewhere between the sound nnd the
dust was Alphonse's motan. Four heads
were discernible at times as the car
dashed through village after village like
a cannon shot.
When ho reached Magnolia, Inspector
Pedigree started to yell at Alphonse's ma
chine ns it was approaching a half mile
away. But before this sound of his voice
died out, tho car was past. Hut sound
can travel faster than autos, so Pedigree
got Constable Headley on the telephone
and told him to look out for tho human
flash In tho auto.
Headley boarded his 70-horsepower mo
torcycle and got neck and neck with Sir
Alphonse as ha reached Lawndale.

Man Ends Life on Doorstep of Home
Pnul Clmlnskl, 21 yenrs old, committed
sulcldo last night by Bhootlng himself
three times In tho breast on tho doorstep
of his home, 2709 East Ontario street.
"By Jove, you seemed to havo got me,"
said Sir Alphonso.
"It kinder looks that way," agreed
Headley. Ho was' taken before Justice-' of
Poace JacVfson. Asked If he was guilty,
Sir Alphonse said, "All things being con
sidered, I suppose I am. In view of the
peculiar ordinances."
"I could flno you JB0," said the Judge,
"and ?I5 easily on account of tho laws you
broke In tho other places you went
through."
For a moment Sir Alphonso was glad
that ho hadn't como from Florida.
"But," continued tho Justice, "I will not
take advantage of Kastcr and will let
you oft for $10 line and costs."
The distinguished defendant, who had
been nervously lingering a thick bunk
roll, breathed a sigh of relief nnd ex
tracted a ten-spot from tho roll. Ho nlso
paid costs of ?1.25 and gave Headley a
cigar.
"I don't object to the fine In the least,"
said Sir Alphonse, "but It's your blarsted
roads. You might call them tho switch
back or the rocky road to Dublin without
straying many miles from the truth.
Nevah again." And Sir Alphonse pro
ceeded with is family to Philadelphia.

That Is tho final pronunclamento of tho

hailed with loud huzznhs by all.
Not only those who havo prepared to
drnpo themselves In the nncst of raiment
for the pngcnnt rejoiced. Those who have
no modish gnrments, but expect to sco
them dlsplnyed on others' forms, rejoiced.
And nil others rejoiced.
Tho forecast Is: Partly cloudy tonight
nnd tomorrow : na decided change In tcm
pornturo; fresh westerly winds.
All danger from tho dreaded Western
storm, which moved eastward so slowly as
to chill tho heart. Is passed. It Is central
over tho Michigan peninsula today, und
moving northeastward.
"And furthermore," exulted Georgo S.

Bureau here, "It Is losing energy nnd

Tho torrents of rain, preceded by thun
der nnd lightning, that caused n SO-dcgrco
