DUNCAN TROUPE TAKES VISION
OF GREECE TO ARVERNE SHORE
Dozen Youngster.-?, Ousted from Century Theatre, Stop
to Dance on Sands on Way to Summer
Quarters, at Seaside Hotel.
Twelve Greek-clad yoiinp?ters danced
on the ?anil? at Arverne, Long Island,
>esterday afternoon while half a doren
of their oidor and more r?date com?
panion:!, b1?o garbed in ?he mod.i of nn
cicnt Athen?, watched from the board
v/alk.
The children were th-s p".pil? of Isa?
dora Duncan, the. dancer, recently
forced to leave their c.sy sleeping
euarters In the ?lentury Opera II<-u??>
end ?pend two duys in the, unar?istic
atmosphere of a Broadwsv hotel. They
arrived at Arverne in SQtomobilss early
yesterday afternoon seventeen girls
and one little boy. They probably svill
remain there throutrhoiit the summer.
Miss Duncan was con'med to her
couch, in her apartment at the Hotel
Majestic, suffering from an nffection of
tile throat and a mrvotis collapse fol?
lowing the P'ire Departments action In
forcing her kiddies from the theatre.:
Her engagement ut 'he < ei.tury this
week is cuncelled. When shs Is well
enough she, too, will go to Arverne to
rest until her strength is -??covered.
Stroller? slim'* ?he ?icecn front, nt
?ractod by the bslmlnsISS of the
sveather, were traatod to a performance
that could not bo dupHeatea, for scenic
?ffect?, on the stnsre of the best thea?
tre. Piling out of the .ouring cars
that conveyed them from Manhattan,
the youthful pupil? of Miss Duncan
swarmed down upon the sands and
danced along the etl^e of the breaker?. '
one dividend on preferred stock, which '
was a portion of the larrre accumulation
of dividends which had accrued ami a
portion of the dividend due for the
current veer, the total amount thus
paid amounted to bun $78(1.00?). At the
same time, the company voluntarily in?
creased the w a ire s of its miners and
?ted cmploycn by a total sum of $?*>20,
000 a year. Her?; again the effort to
discredit this compuny and those con?
nected with It for ulterior and selfish
purpose? is obvious.
"The same writer above referred to
has stated in a published article that
it is undisputed that 14,000 men left
their jobs and only 200 or 300 remained
at work, and the 14,000 promptly joined
the union. This is entirely and ab?
solutely false."
TAFT, ROOSEVELT,
ROOT, HEAD LEGION
Plan to Aid National Defence
Brings Their Names Together
Once Again.
Ex-Prraident William Howard Taft's
name will nestle close to that of for?
mer President Theodore Roosevelt on
tho front pago of the American Le
fton'a new prospectus, to bo issued this
weik. Next to the two ex-Presidents
will come the name of Elihu Root. In?
terest in national defence, though di?
vorced from polities, makes strange
bedfellows.
Wh?n tho plan of organizing a vol?
unteer emergency reserve for the Unit?
ed States Army was first made public,
Mr. Roosevelt not only accepted the,
chairmanship of the governing council,'
but also offereil hi? four sons a? pro?
spective members of the organization.
Dr. John E. Hausmann, secretary of
the Legion, announced yesterday that
the council Is now complete, with three
ex-Secretaries of War and three ex
Secretarie3 of the Navy added to the
Roosevett-Taft-Root combination. Jacob
M. Dickinson, Henry I.. Stimson und
Luke E. Wright bring experience of
was folios, and George von L. Meyer,
Truman II. Newberry and Charles J.
Bonaparte have representad the navy
in former cabinets.
Management and control of the
American Legion is vested in an ad?
visory membership of three hundred,
representative citizen?, chosen from
all sections of tho country, over which
is the council of nine headed by Mr.
Roosevelt.
Kach mail, according to tho secre?
tary, brings additional names for the
rapidly growing list of the advisory ,
membership. Among the New York ac?
ceptances recently received are tho??
of Joseph II. Choate, George W. Wick
ershans, -Morgan J. O'Brien, Frederic
R. ?Mildert, John l,. Milburn, Robert P.
Perkins, William T. Hornaday, Alexan
?ler S. Cochrane, W. Barclay Pa
J, Mayhew Wamwright, Ernest I ein,
David M. (iootlnch and Henry Collins
Walsh.
"I see by your letter that the object
of the American Legion is definite,"
writes Mr. Choate, "and is one which I
have very much at heart. I therefore
gladly accept the invitation to become
an advisory member."
Howard Elliott, president of tho N'ew '
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail?
road, writes: "I shall be glad to serve
and do what I can to help along tho
idea of having the United States pre?
pared in a better way than ut present
in case of a*hy disturbance requiring
military protection."
Headquarters for tho Iacgion is at
