S. Chief Justice. Special Dispatch to The Star. BEDFORD HILLS, N. Y., Novem- ber 27.—Bedford House, built in Bed- ford Hills in 1803 by John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States, Minister to England and twice Gov- ernor of New Y¥York, was partly de- stroyed by flames today. Only the quick work of volunteer firemen from neighboring West- chester communities, who were han- dicapped by a stiff north wind, pre- vented total destruction of the his- toric frame structure. All the colonial furniture, family records and revolutionary relics were saved. Mrs. Arthur Iselin, wife of the banker, great - great - granddaughter of John Jay, and owner of the house, was living in a cottage on the 600- acre place, where servants brought word’ that smoke was coming from the second floor of the north wing of Bedford House. Quickly organizing about 20 serv- ants, Mrs. Iselin rushed into the north wing, which had been added by her father, the late Col. John Jay, and carried out Stuart's life-size portrait of her famous ancestor. Servants saved Trumbull's original portrait of Alexander Hamilton, an- tique furniture and all of the original Jay library, some 4,000 volumes, which included early copies of the Federalist papers written by Hamilton and Jay. Bedford House has been one of the show places of Westchester County. The original part of the house was damaged only slightly by water. Mr. and Mrs. Iselin said they had no idea how the fire started.

Virginia clubwomen are planning a drive against “vandals from the Dis- trict of Columbia who make a habit of getting trees, holly and rare plants from our surrounding country,” it was announced last night by the American Nature Association, which also made public its plan for a “na- tional outdoors good manners cam- paign for 1927,” which will include a prize poster campaign. The women'’s drive, the association announced, will take definite shape Tuesday when representatives of 18 counties in the fourth club district of the Virginia Federation of Wom- ‘ ‘White House Visitor | en’s Clubs meet in Alexandria. | Information concerning the pro Jected action of the clubwomen, the assoclation explained, was continued in a letter recelved yesterday from Katherine H. Stuart, chairman . of conservation of the federation, who terday, across Hunting Creek many autos with District of Columbia ‘tags passed, filled with our fast-disappear- ing holly and dogwood berries.” The clubwomen plan, as one effort in their campaign, to distribute coples both of legislation prohibiting such spolation, and’ the outdoors g;md manners bulletin of the assocla- tion. Arthur Newton Pack, president of the assoclation, characterized the | women's campalgn as the %rst step to be taken by his organization in_the | coming year to conserve roadside plants and keep camping places clean, for which women throughout the country will be enlisted. For the cartoons which are to emphasize this conservation, prizes of $100, $50 and $25 will be given. The judges will be J. N. Darling, known to thousands by his cartoon signatu as “Ding”; Dorman . Smith Kessler, who drew “The Thinker,” and “The Four Horsemen” for the American Tree Association, and R. Bruce Horsfall, the art direc- tor of Nature Magazine. “The contest aims to bring out car- toons best expressing the need of roadside beautification and directed against the various desecrations of nature’s beauties,” Mr. Pack explained. All copy in ink suitable for reprodu ing the printed page should be sent to Cartoons, Nature Magazine, Wash- ington, D. C. In this campalgn we hope to reach new thousands who hitherto have given little thought to the out of doors. The motorist can do wonders in this campaign by setting a good example.” — ART EXHIBITS OPEN TODAY Local Club to Display Drawings and Water Colors. Two interesting exhibitions will be opened for view at the Arts Club of ‘Washington today. One will consti- tute a number of drawings by W. A. Rogers of this city, a chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France and a member of the staff of the New York Herald-Tribune. The other will be an exhibition of water colors by Charles A. R.
