NEW YORK, January 24.—Great men “are the ambassadors of Providence sent to reveal to their fellow men their unknown selves,” Calvin Cool- idge, Vice President-elect, declared in a eulogistic address on the life of Theodore Roosevelt last night before the Women’s Roosevelt Memorial As- soclation. ‘““There is something about them ter than anything they do or sa id. “If measured at all, they are to be measured in the responsive action of what others do or say. They come and go, in part a mystery, in part the simplest of all experience, the compelling influence of the truth. They leave no successor. The heritage of greatness descends to the people.” It was not in the time of military peril, but of civil peril, that the former President performed his most valuable services for America, the speaker said. “The fi"""“ peril to our institu- |6, tions,” he added, “does not lie in a direct assault upon them. Disaster will come from those who probably with good intentlons seek the private control of public action.” clared, was rousing the nation to the meaning and menace of the war to & | America. “He appealed from the things that seemed to be to the soul of the things that ar he continued. “He roused the national conscience into righteous action. He spoke to the soul of his country and he saw her response. He saw the final victory. He saw the be- ginning of the return of those never- conquered banners as they came stream- ing home. In that triumphant sound of drum beat and bugle, he too, was summoned home, under the brighter banners of truth and righteousness which, in him, never suffered defeat.” At the conclusion of his address, the Vice President-elect was presented with the gold medal of the National Institute of Social Science. The presentation came as a surprise not only to his hear- ers but to Mr. Coolidge himself. The councl] of the institute voted the award but two days ago in recognition of his public service. The gold medal is the highest award granted by the institute and has been slven in recent years to only two other istinguished Americans, President Wil- son and former President Taft. The presentation was made by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborne. Germany’s Richest Man Promoting Plans to Yankeeize By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 1921.

Union Realty have been having a heated discussion over the question as to whether the building of skyscrapers in Berlin would relieve the house shortage, but no con- clusion has been reached. In the meantime the omnipotent Herr Stinnes, who has revolutionized so many things since he came into power as the richest man in Germany, has been 1ook- | ing into the skyscraper question and, forming a favorable opinlon of the plan, has promised to finance or partly finance the scheme. Herr Stinnes long ago decided that it was necessary to start building again in Germany, particularly in Berlin, as part of his plan to make Germany a powerful _industrial country in.

CHARGES OF VIOLATING ANTI-TRUST LAW DENIED Carpenter-Contractors’ Association of Chicago Responds to Allega- tions Made in Indictments. CHICAGO, January 24.—The Carpen- | | ter-Contractors’ Association, through |§ its president, Gerhardt ¥. Meyne, is- sued a statement today denying that members of the association had vio-|H lated the Sherman anti-trust law, as |} charged in federal grand jury indict- ments returned last Friday. Five members of the arbitration board of the association and its were among the forty- uals and firms indicted. “The association denies on behalf of these men that they took part in any comspiracy,” Mr. Meyne's statement {declared, “or that they were in any || way connected by collusion or other- wise in any attempt to restrain trade, fix prices or violate the law. The members of the arbitration board acted for all the members of the as- sociation_in negotiating and formu- ||l lating the agreement and working between the association and the ters’ District Council of Chi- reppesenting the organized union carpenters. “All contracts between the carpen- ter-contractors and their employes are public documents, and no effort ever has been made to keep them secret. “The agreement whivh is complained of is not illegal. It was made in the stress of war times, and was the best { understanding that is association could reach. » LONG BEACH ADDS 407. Police Chiet’s Wife Estimates on Bathing Girls for Census.
