With general prosperity, with high wages, with reasonable hours of labor, has come both the means and the time to cultivate the artistic spirit. “Philanthrophy has given the people access to all that is most beautiful in form and color. It is theirs without money and without price, if they will but go and possess it. Out of our agri- culture, our commerce and our industry we can see already emerging & new spirit. The potential is becoming actual. “Through science and invention grad- ually, but surely, we are banishing the drudgery of existence and bringing into every avenue of living a touch of the artistic.

The orderly and artistic development of the National Capital, he , has helped to stir the “national art con- sciousness” and has been an inspiration for similar development of other citles all over the country.

Prominent educatogs were here today to join with the authorities on art, science and history in an effort to co- ordinate the museum resources of the country in the interests of education. This 15 the first time such an organized effort toward co-ordination has been made, and the last day of the meeting will be devoted to open discussion of its possibilities. Lawrence Vail Coleman, director of the Museum Association, urged special training for museum personnel analo- gous to that now given lbrarians. ‘The success of the “trallside museum” method of labelling trees and rocks in national and State parks was also de- seribed by Mr. Coleman, who announced a grant of $118,000 from the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial for ex- tending the work to the Yellowstone National Park.

TAFT URGES EARLY HOME FOR COURT Chief Justice Appears Before House Group in Plea for Su- preme Bench Building. Early action by Congress authorizing the erection of a Supreme Court build- ing on the site north of the Library of Congress and east of the Capitol grounds, between First and Second streets, East Capitol street and Mary- land avenué, was urged today by Ciief Justice Taft and Associate Justice Van Devanter before the House committee on public buildings and grounds. The sympathetic hearing given by the committee indicates that early ac- tion will be taken with a small ap- Dt Daving plams preparen s wor 5 Chief Justice ';m aucrm ibed the con- Soniction, Tor the" nearly 40 years his association with the court, orig- inally as solicitor , that this important branch of the Government should be dignified with a building of its own. His experience, however, showed that the members of the court were réluctant to leave the Capitol bullding and had for years that they might be able to get more uate space under the Capitol dome. Ask Exclusive Building. ‘The court is now unanimously in favor of a building of its own and is desirous that the legislation specifically provide that the building to be erected is exclusively for the Supreme Court and the disposition of space within the building and the custody of the building directly under the court itself. Chairman Elliott of the committee said that not 5 per cent of the courts of the country are as poorly housed as the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Van Devanter discussed the lack of adequate consultation rooms for attorneys appearing before the court and the lack of room in which the justices can confer. With the rapid- ly increasing volume of business, he said, it is imperative that more ade- quate facilities be provided for coun- sel before the court, in order that they may best prepare their cases. From his experience In four or five courts, be- fore coming to the Supreme Court. he found that the quarters supplied were never as cram as those for the su- preme judicial tribunal. The question of housing the Supreme Court in a temple of justice with the Department of Justice was brushed aside when Chief Justice Taft and As- sociate Justice Van Devanter pointed out that the United States Government the chief litigant before the Supreme Court and it would not be growr for the court to be housed with the at- torneys for the chief litigant. Vast Structure Needed. Justice Van Devanter argued that the new building should be of monumental size, emphasizing that vast halls are re- quired for the proper storing of all the records of the court, which are now widely seattered in vaults and base- ments, so that it takes several dayvs to find them, These should be assembled and filed in an orderly way so that they n"lll be readily avallable for consulta- tlon He also pointed out that with ade- quate space the court will receive gifts of important libraries such as that re- cently given by Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, The court recently had to de- cline a gift of the robe and chalr of Chief Justice Jay, because it had not a sultable place in which to display them, Chief Justice Taft also advocated pro- vision of space where portraits of jus- tices of the courts could be hung. Justice Van Devanter amazed the committee by his statement that the members of the court, with a single ex- ception, have thelr offices in thelr nomes, which are lighted, heated, cared for, and for the most part furnished at the expense of the justices, - .

P GLENNA COLLETT LOSES TO BRITON Golf Title Chance Hindered by Gale—Mrs. Hurd Wins. By the Assoclated Press. HUNSTANTON, England, May 15.— Inability to cope with English Spring weather at its worst and the steadiness of Mabel Wragg, determined little York- shire woman, today removed Glenna Collett from the British golf champion- ship in the fourth round. The Amer- ican girl's ambition to take the trophy to the United States for the first time was shattered when she lost, 3 up and 2 to play, in a match in which she never was on her game. Miss Collett's defeat, one of the great- est upsets of British golf, was due in rt to the weather conditions, which cluded hail, rain and cold, but it is only falr to say that the English Txl\“ adjusted her game to the prevailing conditions better than the American player. Hands Numb With Cold. The American challenger might have weathered the storm and won if she had been able to sink-some of her putts early in the match. But her hands were numb with cold, the putter grip wet and slippery and her J:utun; on the outward holes contributed to her later defeat. Miss Collett's defeat came on the sixteenth green, where she so decisively knocked out Mrs. Temple Dobel yes- terday. After being 3 down at the eleventh the American had steadled to win the twelfth and halve three holes running. Hope ran high among her friends that she would yet pull her- self together and climb out of the hole she had dug for herself. Then to thelr dismay she stood on the six- teenth tee, high on a ridge facing the sea from which the harsh wind swept, took @ wood club for the shot to the green, 165 yards away, and half smothered her ball. Miss Wri l"luln‘d the unexpected opportunity. She laid a perfect shot 6 yards to the left of thg pin. After that only a golfing mifacle could save Glenna and she was not performing miracles today. She sent a mashie niblic to the green and fium-d past the hole. Miss Wragg lald er approach putt dead and CGlenna ran across the green with both hands outstretched in congratulations. The American seemed to welcome the relief from the agony of playing under such conditions. The little gallery which had struggled through the storm with the players applauded as much for Miss Collett, who did not know that golf could be played in such weather and never before had attempted it, as for the English girl who had beaten the girl picked to win the title. Greeted by Mother, Miss Collett’s mother was the first to greet her us she stepped off the green Elizabeth Curtis and other Americans actually wept over the de- feat of their star. CGlenna's eyes were dimmed, too, but with dissatisfaction at her unsuceessful attempts to control the ball rather than at losing her chance at the champlonship. When told that she had put up a plucky fight under the most trying cons ditions, she replied: “Like fun, I did; I never played such rotten golf in my life," Miss Collett's defeat left only one American woman in the ummpmmhlr. Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, of Phil- adelphia, who as Dorothy Campbell, won the champlonship in 1911, Mrs. Hurd was born in England Mrs. Hurd, this morning defeated Miss Aline Dobson, a veteran English player (Continued on Page 9, Column 3) SEES TEECRANS N UTLTY PROBE Federal Trade Commission Obtains One Message Men- tioning “Tumulty.” By the Associated Press. The Federal Trade Commission turned its attention today to telegrams and telephone calls to and from the ‘Washington office of the joint commit- tee of National Utilitles Associations, as part of its inquiry into power utility financing. Thomas P. Dowd, general superin- tendent of the Washington office of the Postal Telegraph-Cable Co., submitted a batch of telegrams sent by Josiah T. Newcomb of Washington, general coun- sel for the committee, one of which dated June 28, 1927, mentional the name e ' Thls name was mentioned in con- nection with a conference in New York with B. J. Mullaney of Chi- cago, director of the Illinois committee on public utility information, and Newcomb. The man referred to as “Tumulty” was not otherwise identified. ! Telegrams Sought. Another telegram sent by Newcomb to C. B. Beasley of the Alabama Power Co. merely read, “Nothing as yet.” Still another, copies of which were sent to several attorneys, asked the re- ciplent to attend a conference in Sep- tember, 1927, with Newcomb and Stephen B. Davis of New York, director of the joint committee, to consider some legislation pending in Washing- tol n. Dowd was ordered to submit all tele- ams sent and received by Newcomb rom June, 1927, to date, but he was able to submit only those sent in June, July and September, last year, he said, because of the work entailed in finding the messq;e. Robert Healy, chief counsel for the commission, then called Thorne Browne of Lincoln, Nebr.,as & witness. Browne, who is managing director of the Middle West division of the Na- tional Electric Light Association, which embraces Iown, Missourt, Nebraska and Kansas, and who supervises the Nebras- ka Utility Information Bureau, testi- field that no survey had been made of Nebraska text books, but that a pam- phlet had been written by a subcom- mittee and distributed to high schools. Carmichael's Testimony. Joe Carmichael of Des Moines, director of the Iowa committee on pub- lic utilities information, who was the principal witness yesterday, completed bis testimony in the afternoon as to the work of the organization, which, he said, devoted itself mainly to remov- ing “objectionable” text books from schools, flooding newspapers with pub- leity and employing professors from higher educational institutions. Carmichael testified that his commit- tee conducted two surveys of text books used in Towa schools, and, by protesti to superintendents and principals. ha removed certain books deemed unfavor- able to public utllities. He testified that he had helped Dean €. C. Willlams of the engineering de- partment of the University of Iowa to arrange two lowa power confefences and that he had objected to tncluding speakers on the program who favored municipal ownership of utilities. Under examination, Carmichael testi- fled that utility companies had em- loyed college professors for certain hnical work and that his organisa- tion had pald A. H. Ford, of the State University, approximately $250 for com- piling statistical matter on privately and municipally owned utilities.

But the appearance of her husband with the requisite fine ended that, and before the prisoners’ van arrived to take her to jail she was released. Mrs. Carl was brought into court, charged with cruelty to animals and disorderly conduct, by Mrs Lillian McDougal, 1628 V street southeast, who claims she beat the dog with a club yesterday. This testimony was not corroborated and the court dis- missed the cruelty charge. However, two witnesses claimed they heard Mrs. Carl use profane language toward Mrs. Dougal fol- lowing the alleged beating of the doz, and the court fined her $10 on this count. “I won't pay it,” the defendznt de- clared defiantly. “Very well, then,” replied Judge Schuldt, “it's $10 or five days.” “I'll serve five days,” Mrs. Carl an- gouélced. and she walked into the ock. WELCH BILL VOTE SOUGHT N SENATE Pay Measure May<Be Acted Upon Tonight or Tomor- row Night. Efforts are going forward today to have the Senate act at the earliest op- portunity on the Government employes’ pay bill, so that any differences which may exist over the rate schedules can be considered and ironed out in con- ference. There is a possibility that the bill will be reached in its regular turn on the call of the calendar for unobjected bills in the Senate tonight. If this should not prove possible there will be another chance to take up the salary measure tomorrow night, the Senate having agreed today to hold another night session tomorrow.
