gates could not hope to get together
for such an important session for I
twelve months, scores "abandoned
ship"' earlier than they should.
Harold M. Schwab, commander of
the Manhattan Naval Post, and a
L?gionnaire who has devoted a great
deal of energy to constructive action,
had prepared a report on post policy
and post cooperation as chairman
of that committee, that outlined a
splendid program for the county or?
ganization. When he arose to make
his report, only a handful of dele?
gates remained in the hall and the
question of tho presence of a quorum
was raised, with the result that an '
adjournment was ordered without the j
Schwab report going before the con- |
vention.
A similar situation prevailed last
year, at the Carnegie Hall convention,
when only a small detachment of "the
faithful" sat through to the bitter end.
It is significant that tho legislation
passed by this handful was bitterly
criticized in some instances by those
who skipped, A. W. O. L.
.Adopt Important Resolutions .
The resolutions committee, of which
Ira I. Rackoflf, of Murray Hill Post, was
chairman, submitted numerous r?solu- i
tions to the convention, all of which i
were adopted, though two of them? ?
the civil service and the pro-Dr. Tilcls- |
ley resolutions- provoked more or less I
bitter debating. Among those passed
were:
1. Favoring an increase in wages for
postal employees.
2. Changing the designations of post
officers, to be commander, vice-com?
mander, financial officer and adjustant
instead of president, vice-president,
treasurer and secretary, as at. present. I
3 I'urging the abrogation of the rule ;
that 60 per cent of the delegates to the :
convention must be former enlisted ;
men.
4. Advocating a change in the system
of allotting delegates, so that a major?
ity will rule, instead of the present sys?
tem of ?Hotting them by localities.
5. Reaffirming the Legion's positive ?
stand on the labor question, refusing to :
participate in disputes between capital
and labor.
6. Lauding Dr. John L. Tildsley, de?
posed associ?t?' superintendent of ;
schools, and censuring the members of
the Board of Education for ousting ;
him.
Fall?n Win? and Loses
The convention was a hectic session j
for Francis M. Fall?n, former president j
of Captain Belvedere Brooks Post,
who recently was removed from that ?
office by the post executive committee ;
for alleged offense.a one of which was :
his championing t he* cause of Dr.1
Tildsley.
i il a*, had joined Tiger Post only two j
days before Cue convention, and when ;
he appeared on the floor as a delegate
from that post a fight was immediately;
launched to unseat him. This was led
I - y ?? r Ray C. Sawyer, of Semper
: ist, who challenged his creden

vention passed the Tildsley resolution,
which was looked upon by Fall?n as a
complete vindication for him. But he
received a blow in the balloting for
state delegates, when he failed of elec?
tion, while two of the men who had
been vigorous opponents of lus were
chosen. Fallotv. however, was elected as
an alternate.
Buxton Discusses Harmony
Chairman Buxton proved himself an
able administrative officer Wednesday
night. He handled the chair of the
convention skillfully, gave all the dele?
gates a square deal- as was reflected
in the absence of protest and, what is
more to the point, he proceeded to tell
his membei'3 frankly what he believed
was the trouble wi'.h them.
After prefacing his remarks with the
statement that the membership of the
legion is 17,031 in Manhattan, where
there are at least 160,000 vet? rans, all
of v, hom should be ! ; the
chairman voiced a blunt critici : ; of
the lack of harmony in the county or?
ganization during the last year.

Delegation Well Chosen
It is the consensus of opinion among
tii" Legionnaires of the county that it
would have been impossible to have
made a wiser selection of delegates to ?
the state convention at Albany next
month than was made by the conven?
tion. 'Hiere are twenty-one of them,

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Success for the Vacation Campaign at the
Half-Way Mark
If "well begun is half done," then
half well done oucht to insure a per?
fect finish.
Ought it not?
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund to-day
begins the second half of its season's
work. Looking back on the half sea?
son completed last Saturday, it be?
lieves it has done well.
Since the close of the public schools
set children free for vacations on June ?
30, the fund has sent an average of ;
1,000 boys and girls each week to the i
country for vacations. Between 1,700,
and 1,800 children are the fund'3 guests '
in the country to-day. j
At the beginning of the summer the'
fund adopted as its battle cry, "Five'
Hundred Years of Vacation for 13,000
Children!" In the half Reason ?bout;
200 years of these five centuries have?
been made good?"very good" the chil
dren who have gone away will tell you.
These live centuries of health and
frolic were to cost $90,000. The fund's
budget for the half season's work was,
therefore, $45,000. As the contribution
list below show.??, up to Saturday, July
31, gifts toward this budge, totaled
$40,004.05.
This is not ?(iiite a "half done" show?
ing, but it exceeds by $5,255.(?.ft the half
s-'ii-iun showing of 1919, which was. in
turn, the best year the fund had known
up to that time as far as financial sup?
port of its work is concerned.
Hut the only reason the fund has
not, at the halfway mark in ?t.- sea?
son, provided the full 2.">0 years of
vacations that it aimed to provide, is
that its full half-year budget has not
bet-n supplied.
Even Fresh Air vacations cost money.
Even a Fresh Air Fund cannot spend
tnoney it hasn't, trot.
Half of the Fresh Air season re?
mains. There are still six weeks in
which to give boys and girls of the
tenements the vacations they need be?
fore the school door opens and the
door to the country swing-, shut.
Can The Tribune Fund squeeze that
other 300 years of vacation into six
weeks? If it works at capacity and the
friends of children give the monev
needed IT CAN. But the second half
of a budgift is always the hard half to
raise. Yet, although it is the hard
half, this second half must be raised
more quickly than the first half of it if
it is to do its work. If the work of send?
ing out children has to be slowed down
for a week while the budget catches up
what is lost by the slowing down can
never be regained. The fund cannot
go ahead full speed in the mere hope
that funds will come in; they must be
Ellis Island Reds
Sing Their Anthem
As Wallis Speaks
Radicals Show Resentment
at Not Being Invited to
Band Concert by Chant?
ing the Internationale
Eight hundred aliens detained at the
Ellis Island immigration station
gathered on the lawn surrounding the
main immigration building yesterday
afternoon and listened to Keith's Boy
Hand play airs that are familiar to
ears of the Old World.
The music was a surprise for the
immigrants. Frederick A. Wallis, the
new Immigration Commissioner, pro?
moted the unique concert. The national
airs of England, France. Italy and
Spain were rendered. 'The Wearin' of
the Green" was played, too, as was
"Hatikiva," which is now called the
Jewish national anthem.
While yesterday's music was tre?
m? ndously appreciated by the 800
aliens, all of whom yearn for homes
in America, there was discontent in
the detention quarters, where the alien
radicals are quartered. The Reds were
not invited to the concert, but from
their quarters they heard the music
and manifested their resentment by
chanting the "Internationale."
The interruption came at the con?
clusion of an address by Commissioner
Wallis, who had told the immigrants
that America wanted to make all de?
sirable foreigners welcome. When the
sinking of the Red anthem reached the
ears of the crowd on the lawn, Com?
missioner Wallis looked toward the
quarters of the Reds and said:
"There are the anarchists and the
radicals singing their anthem. We in
the United States have no welcome for
incomers who would betray the nation's
confidence. Our fields, our factories,
our industries are all open to immi?
grants who seek to uphold our Ameri?
can ideals of popular government, Wo
offer ?'. : ?: and justice to you, but
for those who would seek to crush our
; and wreck our industries we
have no room."
Maurice Schwartz, an actor, ad
fti ?i c ! the ?mm rani - the Poli h
tongue. He assured the newcomers
the immigration laws of the United
Stab are 'ft'' faireat in the world.
m' the 500 detained immigrants at
the concert, 300 have already bee:?
excluded and about l'on;.-live other
than the radicals are facing deporta?
tion. But every one of them stoo?i erect
the band played, America's na
tioi ft: anthem as the closing number.
Mr. Wallis says the concerts will be
repeated every Sunday.

Two Spanish Stowaways
Escape From Eliis island
Roth Hehl for Deportation:
Third, Who Was Attempting
to Break Out, Seized
Two men, both Spanish stowaways
hold for deportation on Ellis Island
escaped from their detention quarter3
Saturday morning, officials at the
: announced yesterday. Anothei
man, also a Spaniard, who tried tc
scape early yesterday morning was
hended after a slight struggl?
with inspector in charge Wall anc
Joseph Lazin, a guard.
Officials at the island refused t(
give the names of the men who es
capea. They were of the opinion
: however, that both of them were stil
secreted somewhere on the island anc
would turn up after their food sup
ply which it is known they ha?
gathered prior to their escape, give:
our.
Reports published that the- escap?
of the two men marked the beginning,
of th ' execution of a plot for th?
deli ery of Red and ol he
deportees detaim d on the island wer?
styled as "ridiculous" bv
i Emphatic denial was made of an;
such plot*.
"Like other detention institutions,'
said one officiai, '".ve have our reg
ular quota of escapes. There is noth
ing extraordinary in this. As far a
so-called Red escape plots are con
' cerned you may say they have no basi
in fact."
i
in sight before the good they will buy
can be preempted.
There will be no slowing up in the
work this week. Already 1.030 children
have been promised that their good
times will begin before next Saturday.
If the country hosts this week do as
they did Ia3t this number will prob
ably be increased by 200 before the
week's work is done. Nearly 1,000 va?
cations have already been arranged
for the week following.
Friends of children, how about it?
Shall these promised vacations be paid
for and given, or shall the invitation be :
recalled because the railroad fares to ''
the country and the bread and milk :
and meat the boys and girls must eat
in the country can't be paid for?

Social Interest at Resort Centers
in Dog Show To Be
Held Saturday
From a Special Correspondent
SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 1.?Threaten?
ing clouds in the late forenoon and
early afternoon tended to put a check
on outdoor social activity to-day, par?
ticularly on the bathing beach, tennis

this did not prevent a bevy of society
d?butantes at Southampton from motor?
ing over to the National Golf Club for
a spin through the air in the huge
Hying machine which came in from
Newport Saturday.
Interest to-day is centering on the
dog show, to be held next Saturday on
the Meadow Club grounds, under the
