ADVANCEMENT OF ART fEDERJTIOX ORGANIZED. Iff. Cortissoz Urge* Common Sense in Decoration and Craftsmanship. • Washington. May 12.— American Federation ( ,f Arts was formally organized to-day by the adoption of a constitution. The object of the federation is the amalgamation of institutions and ■rcar.izations for the advancement of an and the estivation ».f public taste. It is provided that the headquarters of the federation shall be in Wash ictrton, and that annual meetings shall be held jlon than oiie hundred delegates attended to day's session, diaries I>. Hutehinson. president of the ■ap.> Art Institute and vice-president of the Katlcnal Academy of Art. presided. Among the papers read was one by Roya! Cor t'ssoz. of The New-York Tribune. He made a strong plea for better decorative work, urging that Instead cf aiminp at something; big. such as a huge mural painting or an equestrian statue, beautiful conventional decorations should be the object. Mr. Gbrdswz said: The 'purpose of tllis convention is nothing If not cracticil * A national federation of art societies I« useless if it does not im-rea.-e the everyday effectiveness of those societies. The whole point * f ti , e .p proceedings. 1 take it, is that we want more' fart in this country and we want it to be better ai-^ letter art every year. Will we get it by dreamins dreams? Yes. but we'll get it quicker If we also use common sense. \Ve are supposed to have a lot Of that in our national make-up, nut ere we not disposed to confine Its exercise to what »c cal! the practical affairs of life and to think of the artist as a person dwelling in an Ivory tower, creating beautiful things and leaving common tense to the business folk outside? We go further than that. When we talk of giving the artist some thing tc On. something apart from the painting of an easel picture, in nine cases out of ten we talk of his doing something •'monumental." and. on the whole, rather costly. We are building a new state house or a new city hall, and we decide to deco rate it on an heroic scale. We go to one of our noted mural painters and we pay htm a round Bum to produce a large allegorical composition, which the public then comes in to admire. Surely this is all very fine and desirable. No one in his senses could regret this movement which is doing so much to adorn our public buildings: no one could wish it to stop. But does not common sense sug rest that if we cannot afford an heroic decoration — and that :s often the cas»- we should compro mise on one less ambitious? We do not do bo half often enough, and the result is thai hundreds of our buildings lack the beauty that painters might add to them, and a large number of our artists lack the work which they need and which tiev »re competent to do. LESSONS FROM THE PAST. It is worth while to reflect for a moment on th° lesson to be drawn here from the past. In th» Italian Renaissance, the period which, perhaps more than any other, is rich In lessons for up, the artists and the public or private persons who em ployed them wen intensely practical. They did rot rrzard mural decoration as necessarily an af fair of composition on the grand scale. They knew that very often li was wisest to let it mean noth fag more than a small panel, and often, too, they dismissed altogether from their minds the idea of filling a given space with a strictly pictorial deco ration. They filled it instead with dainty ara besques. Kith floral motives, with conventionalized ornament. And the greatest artists of those days were content, on occasion, to design such formal schemes. Raphael, who made those stupendous decorations in the Vatican, designed also the arabesques which made the famous loggia in the Fame building one of the most beautiful things the world. Leonardo. w ho could paint the "Mona Lisa." could also design ■ pattern of interlacing; leafage for a ceiling in the <"astell<> at I lan. Now, why do we not more frequently follow the exam ple of that time? We have happily begun to do to, and th?re is one artist in this country, James "Wall Finn, who is doing very important' work in this <iirection. But there still remains much to be done In de monstrating to the penpie of the I'nited States that this kind of decoration ie as desirable, because It is as artistic. as the monument kind. That is where our common sense should come in. If we cannot spend $5,609 on a large symbolical decora tion to fill the arch over the judges' Iwnch in our courtroom, let us spend jr.oo on th<- simple dec»ra tJon cf a room in flat tints and with a fevi- ara besques here and there, ami l^t us make that deco ration worth while by getting an artist to do it. cot the hoaffc painter whom we ordinarily think is the man for the job. We have got into a queer •"•ay cf thinking thnt there is nothing between the Can dress performance of the stately mural decora tor and the commonplace stencil ,< the journeyman who will put a room in shape by day's work There •*■ c-f cours«*. any number of interesting and • narrr. • . eSects to be developed between those two extremes if only we would' use common sense ami make practical use of the modest opportunities tliat ie all around us, and employ the talent that is •verywbere to be found. As it is with painting so it is with sculpture. We ire fond of erecting statues in our public squares y set a good tr.anv of them every year in front o? our pubUe buildings or on the buildings them t£u i. ,v, v L a ! ? len<lid thing that we should do tills, but what of our architectural sculpture gen 7£l'2~' V?\ ornrmen tal details in stone or terra a? a "kV Ol^ tod H*»iaHy so conspicuous ?m™~™ '♦ but w J"'' h aro actually of immense importance to tne beauty of a building' Lr>ok S cdi ■ ■ WTiydoe«lt . w>>;k waa* ofthc ten foT^n^f/^inir* 11 " !^ build , in? a ?eous house for tS±i'"?i. hln * 0 ' P a - vir 'S a large sum Palace* \ri t extracted from one of those old •rehl^ 2 £tt h WM he , not the courage to tell his for the tin <* S?

COMMON SENSE IN CRAFTSMANSHIP. In that Renaissance to which I am always com ing back artists designed lanterns and door knock t-rs. andirons and salt cellars. Tbese things that they '-: ar- preserved to-day us Treasures in the museums of Kurope. I do not think that we have learned as much from that lesson as we might. learn, and this brings me to a closing word on common sense in craftsmanship. I have studied very carefully the results of the "arts and crafts " movement In this country. It has been productive of much good. But a great number of our "artistic craftsmen" sceni to m«? to be moving about, as the **ying goes, In worlds not realized. They have a v ague feeling that the thing for them to do Is to make a useful thins beautiful, so they sail la to spoil a good piece of wood, drawing a* pattern on it with a hot poker, or they make you a fearful and wonderful design which they call a wallpaper, Of they fabricate absolutely arable ornaments and offer them to you as jewelry. Their exhibitions »rs amusing, no doubt. But they spell misdirected enwiry. These craftsmen begin at the wrong end. Thtv try to walk before they can creep. They do tmt first make themseH-es thoroughly acquainted with the characteristics of the material in which the* mean to deal, learning wood as a cabinet rnsker learns it; knowing metal as a blacksmith kno»-« It. They make their designs from the out bid*-, as dilettante, and not practical workers, as ■Sea of common sense. And the important point is that this is not altogether their fault. They are Wt too much to themselves; they are left to pro duce their little objects, and then to offer them for fa)e in an exhibition. They will get their real chance, and be stimulated to prepare themselves for it. when America demands the fruits of crafts manship as it now demands paintings and statues, when the community that lacks the funds for "monumental" embellishments will cut Its BUlt RC ,~ C«rdlng to its cloth and take the small thinK sen- OX Th* National Art Federation will render a prac tical sen-Ice to the country if it will help to bring about this development of common sense. Sylvester Baxter, secretary of the Metropolitan Improvement League of BosU.n, spoke on ' "' ob jects and alms of that organization and of the "191& movement." the purpose of which is to make Boston an ideal city, artistically and ethically.

Mr. Cortelifou Speaks at Memorial Meeting in llfs Honor. George B. Cortelyou, Henry R. Towne. president of the Merchants' Association; John X. Beach, of the ie; chants' Club; John W. Weed and J. Hamp den Dougherty were the speakers at a memorial meeting held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Merchants* Association of New York In honor of the late William F. King, the founder and first president . > f die association Air. King died on February ». lfrwJ. Mr. Dougherty, In presenting an oil painting of Mr. Ki'it; ..ii behalf of Mrs. King\ said: "To me has been assigned the pleasinp duty of presenting Bvas on behalf of Mrs. King to the associa tion which Mr. King organized, which he loved, ;;:nl !.i which for years he devoted himself un spartngiy." On behalf of the Merchants' Club John N. Beach declared that the merchants, the business men of New York, owed a debt of gTatltude to William F. King. Mr. Beach said that when the mercantile supremacy of New York was threatened Mr. King came to the rescue and devised ways and means to stei i the tide He headed a committee, said Mr. Beach, which fought the diversion of freight evil, and won. "We mtss Mr. King —'Billy' King— ar we loved to call him," continued Mr. Beach. Henry R. Towne said that during the four years of Mr. King's administration the association ex pended S2OMM in the conduct of Its work, and col lected over (MM** additional for relief work In Galveston, Jacksonville, Porto Rico and elsewhere. The greatest achievement in its history was its long but successful fight against the great Ramapo scheme of plunder, which cost the association some jio.om, toward which ' Mr. King advanced $22,000 from his personal means, although he was repaid afterward George B. Oortelyou said that while the memorial meeting was designed as a tribute to one who had so large a share in th« establishment of the asso ciation he could not but feel that the meeting of November 14. 1907. in the days immediately follow ing a period of great financial demoralization and of great unrest in commercial circles, was also a striking Indication of his initiative and a vindica tion of his judgment. "During the administration of the late President McKlnley and that of his successor. Mr. King was ■ not Infrequent corre spondent of tlie White House." continued Mr. Cor telyou. "On the problems that grew out of the war with Spain and the many questions of domestic concern that he felt affected not only the country at large but this city, he gave voice to opinions always decided and oftentimes helpful." RE-ELECT MR. KINGSLEY. He Criticise* Insurance Laics in Ad dress to New York Life Trustees. In accepting the presidency of the New York Life Insurance Company, to which he w«s re-elected yesterday, Darwin P Klngsley. addressing the board of trustees, said: The two years which have elapsed since the ter mination Vf the presidency of Alexander L. Mr have been a time of readjustment for this and fT nearly all companies chartered by New "i ork State. I stated here, when first chosen to this position that whether or not the administration approved in their entirety of our Insurance laws, they would be observed by this company in letter and in spirit. This ilcclar.it ion has been scrupulously carrier: out. Our- problem primarily was to tear down- and that aulcklv- a plant abie to insure a hundred and Seventy^ thousand people In a year, and then reconstruct It so as to insure not more than se\ entv-nve thousand persons in the same time. De struction Is not difficult, and may have seeme.i easy to men who bad little understanding of the oh ga llon* which Inevitably attached to an organization lik-e ours' but for us it wan a bitter task. It appears that the State is unwilling that we should increase our business, but at the M m«» time is anxious to have the business of life insurant In <--ea<=ed. so anxious that it is willing to ha' r«M- IcyholdeTG pay a large price for it In other cornpa nle" I say the suite, because technically that is the fact, but I don't believe that the people of th* Vtate ever have Indorsed or ever will indorse the doctrine that public regulation and control of cor- JoraVions ha* broken down, and l thai "£&.»£■ only in arbitrary limitations on the legal activities of m m .

The sons have become known as th« "midnight sons" because of their habit of staying up all night.

TAFT WINS OJS' LINKS TRAVIS LENDS HIS HELP. Onetime Champion Then Praises the President's Golf. [From The Tribune Bui»au ; Washington. May 12.— "The President Is a Rolf player of far more than average ability. He has no serious faults to overcome, and with constant practice would become a feared opponent of the best men in the country. 1 expect that before he leaves Washington for the summer he will be abie to go over the Chevy Chase course ln eighty-five stroke?" This was the opinion of Walter .1. Travis, who has held the amateur championship title of this country and Great Britain, at the con clusion of the 18-bole foursome which he played with the President this afternoon, ln company with General Clarence R. Edwards. E. Oden Horstman, one of the strongest players of the Chevy Chase club, and Captain Archibald Butt, his aid. Mr. Horstman started with General Edwards as the opponents of the President and the ex-cham pion, but because of an Injury he sustained re cently by a fall from his horse he was compelled to retire at the ninth hole in favor of Captain Butt. The President and his partner won- by 1 op. Mr. Taft's card was r.r. turned in, but It is understood that he made the course in less than 100. while his comi mion showed excellent form and aided ma terially in the victory by doing the eighteen hcles in 74 stroke*. General Edwards's score was around (to. while the combined card of Mr. Horstman ami Captain Butt showed 84 strokes. The niatch was without spectacular incidents, and was followed by only a few chosen observer*, ex cept at the last green, where a large gallery had gathered to see the finish. At this hol« the Presi dent did himself proud. After carefully swinging his dub a few times lie hit the ball a rebounding whack, and made one of the longest drive* of the day. The ball rolled bo far that he had a chance to make the hole in three, but he overran his ap proach put. This forced him to make several more tries, nnd prompted Mr. Travis to remark: "He Is better at driving than nt putting." p prrP t Service men were on hand to see that the game was n~t disturbed by the gallery, hut the officials of the Chevy Chase club had so arranged thirics that the mat. b was played with practically no onlooker* up to the last hole The Presidents last drive excited the admiration of the gallery, and a cheer greeted the shot. It is understood that Mr. Tafl feels so much en couraged by his play to-day that he will practise more assiduously In the future. YOUNG TAFT HEADS PHI BETA KAPPA. New Haven.

They a-e tamed of 1..-h\.\ Iron j.li'p. faced wtth thick rubber belting, six Inches wide, Ie soften contact with fallen hu manlty, and the triangular space behind the fa. - lnij filled In with wire n.-ttinK to catch and holtl !!i.y one paesiiiH ov« ti.. front They ai* nt !:l , i,,,| ( tl rd "ii the front or the tr .. k They era Installed preferably two ami one-half ln< iu-~ above 'he track, al which belghl it is obvi ous tii^t nothing larger than a small cat could paes under them. The bad conditions of pave ;n.m.i on .s..m.- streets have si times compelled Installation an Inch higher Thousands of tbese guards have !.e«-n in use on th.'se cms for many years. It Ifl too la;.- to dis pute their efficiency 1" preventing persona from contact with the underworks of the curs. The st..r> of their service bus been told In New York City newspapers scores, probably hundreds, ol times. I Inclose r few specimens, though to at tempt to K^e you Information on the subject must be h work of supererogation, as you are doubtless familiar with It ir not It is SUrel) not the fault of the guard, for It has made plenty of history. This wheelguard was duly presented at Sche nectady to be subjected tO the Public Service Com mission test. The engineer ln charge refused to test it. and said la explanation tl.at th.- merits Of the guard w-Te 100 w.-II known to i e.| lire a test. Whether this explanation was sincere or not It is Impossible foi me to snv. but I think it must have been sincere, for the engineer who had charge of the inspection of equipment of New York City rall y ays had previously expressed himself to the same effect to the writer. The commission, however. COUM hardly refuse to test a wheelguard offered, especially With such a commendation an. l then refuse to permit its use if railway companies In the city desired to use It. The company owning the pilot guard was not offended by the refusal to test It. as it had plenty f ,iher candidates, three of which, a fender and two automatic w heelguards. took high Honors, thus giving their ow net trie blue, ribbon of the show Whenever the subject of a change of wheelguards Is mentioned in the newspapers it is accompanied with a years statistics of casualties associated with the cais. as though to say that new wheelguards all this will cease. Something less than that must be expected. The streets of this long narrow city are congested. ln my judg ment neither the equipment of the cars nor the conduct of them Is chargeable with more than a small minority of the casualties in which they par ticipate The cars must run. and the chief pur pose in providing them with safely appliances is to protect "children of all ages" from the conse quences Of their own heedlessness. The function of the wheelguard is clear and easily defined It is to prevent persons already prostrate on tiic trcck from going under the wheels. The best of guards cannot lessen the number of casualties else where. J - A - S - Newark. N. V..

WRIGHTS' SEW RECORD TWO TALKS, TWO MINUTES Aviators Thank Their Countrymen at Aero Club Luncheon. Before leaving the city for Dayton. Ohio, at * o'clock last night, the Wright brothers had a busy day. Wilbur and OrviUe each made a speech. These, however, did not occupy much time. Had the organizer of the "talk-a-mlnute-and-slt-down cluli" been present, the Ohio men probably would have won another medal at the Aero Club lunch eon, held ln their nonor at the Lawyers' Club, ln Broadway. Many of those present had seen the Wright* fly in France and at Kort Myer. Few if any. bad heard them make speeches. But speak the] dM, Wilbur for almost three-quarters of a minute and OrviHe for nearly half that time. The cheers and handclapptng that rang with great sincerity as t»ch of the Wrights aros° were twice ;is long as their combined speeches. The brothers were misty eyed and their voices wen? not under as good con trol as their justly famed machines that fly. Their personality and achievements took, literally, the Aero Club members and their friends oft their chairs, not once but several times, and although white napkins waved, the cries "Who are all right? The Wrights: 1 reduced the Impression that a Chautauq.ua salute was intended. "I have felt ;i spying yensatlon to-day." said Wilbur, "that I thought the sea voyage had caused. I now know that your welcome is Ie blame for tho rocking of this floor. My brother and I are nor frequent talkers." Here there was prolonged laughter. "We do not talk long, either, but I would like to pay that there are persons who take it upon themselves, probably because we fail to talk more, ro say things for us. and some of those things are wrong. It ha.« been said, for instance, that we went abroad to obtain recogni tion for our work, but I want to say here that ln 19ft">, before we went abroad or thought of doing so. the Aero Club nf America, then newly organ ized, greeted us. and that it since has with unfal tering allegiance .atood by us. The I'nited States gave bb our first recognition. " There was another display of napkins and an other prolonged clapping of hand.-, which had no sooner given way to the introductory remarks of A. Holland Forbes, acting president of th» Aero Club, than Orville Wright stood up and blushingly listened to n renewal of the vigorous outburst. Then the room became perfectly still. Orville said: "My brother has talked so long that he has left for me but to express my thanks for this splendid reception and your kindly welcome to this our country." And then he. too. Sal down, while th« others stood up. The luncheon was d»emed a success from every point of view. Mr. Forbes presided. Th» others at the guest table were Colgate Hoyt. Colonel John Jacob Astor. W. P. Hamilton. Alan R. Haw ley. Charles Jerome Edwards. Robert Lee Mor rrll and L. D. Dozler, of St. Louis. Mr. Forbes said: "The present century finds us aspiring to a new sphere of thought and action, and from many lumi naries there are welcome rays of light to guide our winged ways." Police Commissioner Bingham was unexpectedly called on, and said that as an army officer and as an engineer he was glad to welcome "the men from Ohio who have done something." II was a cause of mortification to an army man. he said, to know that the Wrights were forced to go abroad. "The government has failed in this way time and again." he added. "It hi ultra-<-onserva tlve; Its afraid to take a chance. The army needs flying machines. 1 wasn't at Bull Run. but I've been told that men ran from that battle because they couldn't fly." Colgate Hoyt. former president of the A<m Club touched upon the early freedom from spe»d laws, which, he said, be believed the Wrights would open the way f... all to enjoy as they travelled closdward. The Wright brother! and Miss Wright left the city at • o'clock on the Pennsylvania Railroad for Dayton. .: , Just beto..- they left the Park Avenue Hotel Laurence J. Lesh. the boy glider, whose ankle was broken at Morris Park on November I last. limped in on crutches to meet the champions In his chosen field He was accompanied by his mother. Or vllle expressed Interest and sympathy in young I*«h'B accident, and told him that Octave Chanute. o( Chicago, had spoken highly of the work he was doing in aeronautics.
