Bronx Industrial
Exposition Opens
Doors for Summer
Will Be Permanent Show
Place for Metropolitan
District
Seeks Foreign Trade
Amusement? of All Kinds for
the Public Are Also
Provided
A permanent exposition, which each
summer is to serve as an industrial
.?hew place for the metropolitan dis?
trict, had its formal debut yesterday
noon, when jihe New York Interna?
tional Exposition of Science, Arts and
Industries opened its doors to the pub?
lic. Although construction began
about two years ago, all the buildings
are not yet finished or the concessions
installed.
Several thousand nersons attended
the opening yesterday on the grounds,
comprising twenty-eight acres east of
the 177th Street station of the Bronx
subway. There was a parade of naval
and military organizations, led by the
7th Regiment Band of the New York
National Guard.
Following an address by James
Brackenridge, vice-president of the
Bronx Board of Trade and acting
chairman of the dedicatory committee,
H. F. McGarvie, president of the expo?
sition, presented the keys of th?. expo?
sition to Police Commissioner Richard
E Enright, representing the City of
New York.
Enright Compliments Promotera
Commissioner Enright complimented j
the promoters of the enterprise on the
foresight in planning during wartime
to attract foreign trade to the United
States after the war, and said that "in
time of war prepare for peace" was
quite as important as "in time of peace
prepare for war."
On behalf of the 800.000 residents of
The Bronx, Borough President Henry
Bruckner expressed his gratification
at having a permanent international \
exposition in the borough which would !
be the sixth most populous city in the
United States if it were a separate mu- :
nicipality.
Between the invocation by the Rev. !
George M. Elsbree, oV the Van Nest
Presbyterian Church, and the benedic- '
tion by the Rev. John J. Stanley, of i
the Church of Our Lady of Solace, the
"Marsellaise" and the "Star-Spangled ?
Banner" were sung by Miss Gertrude
Van Deinse.
Circus acts, aerial feats and tight?
rope walking followed the dedicatory
programme. The sea water bathing i
pool, constructed on the grounds, was j
the scene of high djiving exhibitions ;
later.
Although the scenic railway was not ;
running, the airplane swing and i
enough other concessions were oper- |
ating to give the impression of a mini?
ature Coney Island.
An Attractive Clubhouse
The bathing pavilion and adjoining
buildings are attractively finished in
stucco. A club to house the buyers to
be attracted to the exposition has been j
christened the "Circle de Fapellon,"
which the press agent explained is
French for butterfly. That name rfiay
be explained by the fact that the
golden building has emerged from the
drab cocoon structure which has stood
for 114 years, since the site was the old
Morris farm far north of New York
City.
An ingenious hardware display is
the only one yet complete in the Ex?
hibitors' Building, which is soon to
house forty exhibits, including one by
the United States navy, and an art ex?
hibit arranged by thirty-two art clubs
in the city.
The most interesting exhibit is the
hull of the first submarine ever
launched, the Holland No. 9, buift by
John P. Holland, of Elizabeth, N. J.,
which slipped down New York Harbor
twenty years ago last March, while
foreign engineers marvelled, including
an Austrian lieutenant, who followed
in a tug to watch the underwater mar?
vel perform.
Last night in the Pershing Stadium
? military gymkhana of ten events was
run off. This will be a feature each
evening until July 7. The exposition
will be open daily, until November and
an admission fee of 25 centa for adulta
and 10 centa for children will be
charged.

American Troops
Honored in Canada
MONTREAL, June 29.?Twelve hun?
dred United States soldiers were guests
of the Dominion government here to?
day. The programme of entertainment
for the visitors included a motor trip
about Montreal, lunch at the barrack?
of the Quebec Regiment and a review
by the Governor General of Canada.
The city was decked with bunting and
American flags for the occasion.
The men were met on their arrival
here from Toronto by a detachment of
returned Canadian troops.
Wage Increase Rejected
GLENS FALLS, N. Y., June 29.?Dis?
satisfied with the general increase of
10 cents an hour, as directed by the
National War Labor Board, members of
the pulp, sulphite and paper mill work?
ers' unions of this city, Palmer Fall?,
Fort Edward and Hudson Falls have
decided nov to report for work Monday
morning in the International Paper
Company mills. They say they will

they can earn larger wages.
John Burke, president of the Inter?
national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite
and Paper Mill Workers, said that the
action of the men would not be sanc?

cision of the men would affect all the

This Is Last Loafing Day, for It's
Get a Job or Fight To-morrow
State and National Round-up of Idlers Near, and Recruiting
Stations Are Packed With Men Over Draft
Age Anxious to Join Colors
Do your loafing to-day, for to-morrow
you must labor.
Put in your final, solid, twenty-four I
hours of useless, purposeless, impudent,.
irresponsible idleness. When you wake I
up this morning, forget it is Sunday
ftnd that it is a privileged d&y of rest.
Loaf as if it were a workday. Loaf all
day long, for after midnight to-night
loafing becomes a prohibitive luxury for
the duration of the war, and it may be
a long war.
To-morrow the "work or fight" order
of Provost Marshal General Crowder
and the state anti-lonfing act go into,
full effect. To-morrow detectiveB in
civilian clothes and the policemen in |
uniform may stop any leisurely gentle?
man who looks older than eighteen and
younger than fifty and ask him in the
voice of authority:
"Where do you work?"
Unless the answer is satisfactory, the :
voice of authority will demand proof,
and unless there is proof the voice ot
authority will thunder a warning to the
general effect that the man warned
must hustle and find a useful job as
quickly as possible.
Includes Men 18 to 50
Of course the "work or fight" order
of General Crowder is not the proto?
type nor a duplicate of the state anti
loafing act. The two are distinct. There
has been a good deal of confusion as to
the exact purpose of these measures.
The difference may be outlined as fol?
lows:
General Crowder's "work or fight"
order is national. It covers all sections
of the country.
The state anti-loafing act is in force
only in the state of New York, although
other states have passed similar meas?
ures. All men between the ages of
eighteen and fifty, whether or not they
are legal residents of New York State,
are affected by this law if they dwell
in this state.
General Crowder's "work or fight"
order applies only to men of military
age?men between the ages of twenty
one and thirty-one, inclusive. All such
men, married or unmarried, must do
useful work or fight, if they are
physically fit.
Have Week of Grace
Such men cannot remain idle longer
than one week after July 1, unless they
are sick or on a vacation of reason?
able length. Classified with those who
are deemed idle are men of draft age
who are racetrack and bucket shop
employes, fortune tellers, clairvoyants,
palmists. Men engaged in these occu?
pations are looked upon as idlers, and
they might as well do nothing nt all
as try excusing themselves before
the police and the Federal and state
authorities as being employed in such
"work."
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has also designated as non-productive
occupations the following:
1 ?The serving of food and drink, or
either, in public places, including
hotels and social clubs.
2?The running of passenger ele?
vators or attending passenger ele?
vators, the positions of doormen, foot?
men, carriage openers and other at?
tendants in or in front of clubs, hotels,
stores, apartment houses, office build?
ings and bath houses.
Affects Store Clerks
3?The positions of ushers and other
attendants engaged in connection with
games, sports and amusements, except?
ing the positions of actual performers
in legitimate concerts, operas or the?
atrical productions.
4?Domestic service.
5?The positions of sales clerks and
other clerks employed in stores and
other mercantile establishments.
The state anti-loafing act is aimed
at a different and much larger class of
men, as it covers all men between the
ages of eighteen and fifty, inclusive.
The state law stipulates that all such
persons must be "habitually and regu?
larly engaged in some lawful, useful
and recognized business, profession,
trade or employment."
Men under twenty-one ? and 'over
thirty-two may be engaged in some of
the occupations listed as non-produc?
tive by General Crowder without in?
terference under the state law. The
state anti-loafing act is aimed to drivi
into recular and useful occupations
men "who habitually loiter in idlenesi
in the streets, roads, depots, pool
rooms, saloons, hotels, stores or othei
places."
Drunkards Included
There are included within thesi
classifications those who prefer to idle
those who are known to the police a
loafers and criminals in the usua
significance of these words.
Police Commissioner Enright ha
called attention to all classes ani
kinds of idlers and those who are no
engaged in lawful or recognized em
ployment. This list includes ever
known species of the loafer class
Loiterers, rich or poor, criminal.'
gamblers, drunkards and beggars ar
in this list.
While the state law includes meh o
draft age, these will not be prosecute
under the state anti-loafing act. The
will be taken care of under Genen
Crowder's "work or fight" order.
But all persons between eighteen an
fifty years of age affected by th
"work or fight" order and the stal
anti-loafing act will be assisted in ol
taining employment or in changin
their employment by the Federal en
ployment service, which is coop?ratif
with the State Industrial Commissic
in placing New York State on an ii
dustrial war basis.
Are Asked to Register
Men of draft age now idle or engage
in non-productive occupations i
defined by Provost Marshal Gener
Crowder are asked to register at t!
earliest moment in the various st
tions of the Federal employment se
vice, and they will receive special t
tention. Of course, men between t
ages of eighteen and twenty-one a
between the ages of thirty-two a
fifty, inclusive, are also invited to i<!
ister at these Stations if they are n
working.
But the Federal employment offich
have warned against a panic. Men
traft age who have not yet manag
\o obtain productive employment nc
not fear that the police will institi
raids at once and throw them into ji
Employment officials do not want dr
age men now engaged in non-prod'
tive occupations to throw up their ji
in a panic before they can obtain
productive job. If they do so in gr
numbers the "work or fight" order t
the anti-loafing act may operate to p
duce armies of loafers.
Oldtime Criminals
Arrested in Bank
Fishing for Money
Caught in the Liberty Na?
tional as They Reached
for Bills
Three of the oldest criminals known
to the local police, one with an inter?
national record, were arrested yester?
day in the Liberty National Bank, in
the Equitable Building. They are
charged with attempted grand larceny.
The police say the men were planning
to rob the bank.
The prisoners are Henry Hardy,
sixty; William Coleman, seventy-two,
and Frank Hartley, sixty-four.
According to the police, the paying
teller's cage, where thousands of dol?
lars were in sight, was their objective.
Hardy, the police say, had pushed open
the cage door and was reaching with
his cane for a bundle of bills when he
and his companions were arrested.
Two hours after the arrests Hardy and
Hartley wore identified as the men
who stole a gold watch worth $300
from a jewelry store in 4 West Fifty
seventh Street while posing as pros?
pective customers.
Last night detectives were scouting
through the city for a young woman
who is said to have cooperated with
the prisoners.
How long the three have been work?
ing in the city is not known by the
police. Four days ago their presence
here was learned when some one
saw them below the "dead line for
crooks" in Fulton Street. Well
dressed, trim and vigorous despite
their years, they looked like prosper?
ous retired business men, Coleman es?
pecially, with his closely trimmed Van
Dyke beard.
For two days the men were trailed as
they visited different jewelry shops. No
suspicious move, however, was noted by
the detectives. Yesterday they visited
the Empire Trust Company, the Battery
Park Bank, Henry Clews & Co. and the
Continental National Bank. In each
they lined up with the depositors, but
made no attempt to do anything out of
the way.
Then they went to the Liberty Na?
tional Bank. Close behind were the
local detectives as well ns operatives
from a private detective agency. They
took places in the line of depositors,
with Hardy in the lead.
Finally, according to the detectives,
Hardy neared the teller's window. He
signalled to his partners to come close.
Then, the police say, he coolly pushed
open the cage door with his cane. A
few inches away were thousands of
dollars. Before they could be reached,
however, the police closed in and ar?
rested the three men.
At Headquarters Coleman denied any
intention of robbing the bank. The
other two, according to the police, ad?
mitted that was their object. "We
thought that we would take one moro
chance. What else could we do?"
Hartley and Hardy said, according to
the police.
The men nre regarded as remark?
able criminals by Inspector Cray, of
the Detective Bureau. "Usually," he
said, "men who have pulled big jobs
in their youth get timid in their old
age and resort to petty larceny. But
these men have upheld the traditions
of their profession and have stayed in
j the big game. They look with scorn
on the petty larceny fellows."
Hardy, Coleman and Hai-tley have
each served terms in Sing Sing and
other prisons as far back as 1869,
when Coleman was sent to Sing Sing
for five years. He hod been convicted
of robbing a bank at Poughkeepsie.
He escaped on August 17, 1871.
Coleman was arrested in 1905 in the
$50,000 jewel theft from the home of
Mrs. Ambrose Clark. He was dis?
charged for lack of proof. Shadowed
for six months, he was rearrested
While digging up the getns near a pillar
in a foundry in West 155th Street.
He was sent up for .Tve years anrt six
months.
Hardy served his first sentence in
1883. In his career he has escaped,
while under arrest, three times. In
1892 he was sentenced to twelve years
in prison on a charge of robbery and
assault in Frankfort, Germany. At the
end of the term he was brought here
and delivered to Clinton prison.
Hartley has served -time for a safe
cracking job. '

The placards also give advice concern- !
ing food conservation methods. They |
were prepared and given to tha,,Police
Department by the Broadway Associa?

McCooey Favors Women j
John H. McCooey, Brooklyn Demo
cratic leader, said yesterday that he
favored the nomination of a woman for
one of the places on the Democratic
state ticket; also that if the Demo?
crats hold an unofficial state conven?
tion he will urge Brooklyn district
leaders to divide their representation
equally between men and women.
"The women have entered politics in
partnership with us," said Mr. Mc?
Cooey. "They should not be shut out
from participation to the full in gov?
ernmental affairs."
Another Black Tom Suit
Papers in a suit for $2,920,213.43 in?
stituted by the Bethlehem. Steel Com
pank against the Lehigh Valley Rail?
road Company for losses in the Black
Tom explosion in Jersey City on July
30, 1916, were filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court in Jersey City. The
property destroyed was war munitions
on three barges and seventeen cars.
A glass insurance company got a
verdict against the Lthigh Valley Com?
pany a few months ago, in the Supreme
Court in Jersey City, for losses by the
explosion, but the amount to be paid
wa? not fixed. About two-thirds of the
! steel company's loss is alleged to have
! been caused by the blowing up of the
barges. The steel company sets up
lack of proper precaution. The case
will probably be tried during the fall
I term.

There are no pigpens in the Grand
Central Terminal.
Nor any cow pastures.
No running hrooks.
YOU wouldn't expect to find auch
things so near New York's four corners.
But then you've been to the country.
Patience hadn't.
Sho was sitting yesterday afternoon
in one of the high back seats of the
terminal waiting-room, her eyes roving
in wonderment over its great spaces.
i She hnd come down from her home in
East Seventy-sixth Street on the Third
Avenue L and felt that she was a long
way from home.
All at once somebody startled her
out of her wonderment into a greater
one.
"Come on, Patience, hurry!" said her
chaperon.
For a moment her eyes contracted to
their normal diameter, as sho asked,
"Where are we goin' now, teacher:
home?"
"No indeed, dear," responded the
lady who had given the order to ad?
vance. "We are going to get on the
train for the country."
The eyes of Patience went wide
again. "Oh," she said with a mixture
of puzzlement and disappointment in
her voice, "ain't this it? I thought
we was there."
And some of the nineteen little girl3
who were her companions laughed.
That is as much as Patience knew
about the country at 2:45 p. m. yes?
terday afternoon, but you couldn't fool
her about it to-day, for she is "there."
"There" as the guest of The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund?in just the part of
that great "there" where a girl with
Patience for a name ought to be, in the
ancient New England town of Fairfield,
Conn.
Think of what a tremendous igno?
rance hers was?not to know that the
country is a place of running brooks
cow pastures, pigpens, singing birds
and waving treetops; not a might j
building of vast spaces and hurrying
multitudes.
This is a true story?true as the facl
of The Great War. True as to the
name of the girl, the street where she
lived, the time when it happened?true
to the letter in the words Patience
spoke.
Do you believe she is the only gir
of eight years in New York who knevi
so little about the great "there" te
which you and hundreds of thousand:
of vacationists are turning your step:
and your thoughts to-day? She is not
There are hosts of others. There i:
at least one in every block of the tene?
ment Bections of this city.
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund want?
to show them all the great beyond that
lies outside the walls of their tenement
homes. The Tribune Fund is doing it
from day to day?and has been for
forty-two years.
Yesterday it sent the twenty small
girls of the party of Patience to its
Elm Cottng? at Fairfield. It sent fifty
other girh to its ?t Helen's Home in
the Berkshire Hills, thirty more to the
North Shore Holiday House at Cold
Spring Harbor, L. I., and thirty colored
children to its Garnett Home at West
bury, L. I. ,
This morning fifty boys aro being
sent to St. Helen's home to join their
sisters who went yesterday. Each of
the children in these various parties
is to have n two weeks' course in "the
country." When they come back they
will never mistake the Woolworth
Building for it.
During the first three days of July
at least 800 boys and girls will be
added to the number of those already
enjoying vacations.
This vacation work for the poor
children of the tenements is supported
by the voluntary contributions of the
public. Will you help carry it on in
this (1 ifficult year? In time of war it
is worth while to preserve the children.

Travis Petitions
For Reappraisal of
Severance Stock
Controller Charges Under?
valuation of Union
Sulphur Shares
State Controller Travis obtained an
I order from Surrogate Cohalan yester
j day directing John L. Severance, of
Cleveland, to show cause why 330
shares of stock of the Union Sulphur
Company left by his father, Louis H.
Severance, should not be reappraised.
The estate of Louis EL Severance was
appraised in the administration of for?
mer Controller Sohmer. The sulphur
?tocks were appraised at $2,250 a share,
or a total of $742,500. It is the conten?
tion of Controller Travis that the
shares had a real value of $4,059,000. on
which amount the State of New York
should have collected a transfer tax.
Mr. Severance's entire estate was ap?
praised at $14,608,984.
He died without leaving a will, and
his estate was divided between his son
! and a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Allen,
j of Cleveland. Controller Travis said in
: his petition that the first appraisal was
based largely on the affidavit of Henry
D. Whiton, secretary and manager of
the Union Sulphur Company. The Con?
troller asserts that Mr. Whiter, knew
the true value of the stock was much
higher than the value he placed on if.
! Mr. Travis said that the company's
I stock was assessed for taxation at the
sum of $12,000,000 in 1913, which would
indicate that it was worth $6,000 a
share instead of ?2.250.
"The appraisal of the Severance stock
was fraudulent on its face," said Con?
troller Travis. "Whiton relied on the
sales of stock in 1905, and later tes?
tified the company did not become po?
tential until that year. His statement
was no criterion of the stock'3 value
eight years later, when the company
met with wonderful success."
The Controller added that the same
effort at undervaluation was made In
the estate of Herman Frasch, who died
in 1914, less than a year before the
death of Mr. Severance. He held 603
shares of the Union Sulphur Company
stock, which also was Rppraised at $2,
250 a share. Mr. Travis caused this
appraisal to be remitted, which resulted
in a higher valuation.

For five years this Maxwell motor
car has remained standard in practi?
cally its present form.
Xhafs four years longer than some
of its would-be rivals have stayed in
business.
And it is longer than any other com?
parable model has endured.
Of course we have changed body
lines and other external details from
time to time, for theMaxwell clientele
is fastidious as well as frugal
Maxwell buyers demand style and
finish, and all those other qualities
that make all the difference to the
owner who would be proud of the
looks as well as pleased with the
performance of his car?
But mechanically the changes in au
those years have been in refinements
of details only.
We have never had to apologise for
a single detail?never found it neces?
sary to change any unit-^-tn the
original Maxwell
And you know, that had there been
a single weak link?one detail that
was faulty in the slightest?keen
competition would have forced a
change of such.
When, after looking them all over,
you select a Maxwell motor car for
yours, you have the satisfaction of
knowing that more than a quarter of
a million other careful buyers endorse
your judgment and your good taste.
