I'rof lleissoti commenced by thank ing tile department of philosophy of Columbia I'niveislly for Inviting him to America, lie said that he felt sine that Columbia could hae found a better qualified lecturer, but he added that they could hardly rind one who would appre ciate mote the honor and the nppoi tunlty than hv did, and that they could find none who was a greater admirer uf American philosophy and psychologj-. "If Arnetlta had produced only Will iam James she would have made a sulll clently great contribution to the world lu the domain, of philosophy and psy chology," said I'rof. Ilcrgson. "lie may be said to have brought philosophy from heaven to earth. In this respect J.tmea may be compared to Socrates, He brought philosophy closer to life." He went on: "Imagine that you are listening 10 a drama. You feel a 11 Increased sense of reality. Through the Interpretation of the drama you feel life more Intensely. The same Is true when you "listen to good music. Philosophy might to do the same. It should muko iih feel an increased sense of reality, of vltulltj. "Art shows us things us they leally are.

In other words, philosophy ought to be a direct and Intimate perception of real- Itj One of tlie functions of philosophy Is to show us that In our ordinary life we are half asleep to things as they are," said I'rof, llergson, He then analyzed the two methods of philosophy-. The llrst, the abstract method, which proceeds b- general ization, which embraces everything, hence nothing. Is merely a structure of concepts and necessarily results In seep, tlclsm. This method, Itergson ald, ehould be rejected. The sevond method, which he advo cated, proceeds to the concrete. Hy proceeding to the concrete we arrive at the ego, and as we go furtliei we come to personally, lo Impulse, which Is the source of everything within us. This method is objected to because It Is regarded ao difficult and Is lelleved to lead to mj'ailcK'm, Hut, according to I'rof. Bergson, Intuition Is very near to scientific method, though somewhat different. Science studies everything from the exterior, whereas philosophy studies everything from the Interior. Prof Hergson then discussed the problem of the spirit. Hy our spirit, he said, we mean Intellectuality and will. Which Is the more Important? Will, he said You cannot make j'ourself will by your intellectuality Will cre ates Intellectuality. To a representative of Tim ff.v Prof. Hergson said: "I have no system of philosophy. 1 have no simple set of rules from which I could evolve my philosophy. Tn philosophy there ure sllfferent problems and eacli problem must be solved by special methods. The methods em ployed In soiling one problem will not do when joii attempt to solve another problem.

We must .s;ar. ,i1H ...l.iecl anew ' In connection with I'rof Bergson's reference to art, tlie following pas sages from his little volume on "Laugh tcr," dealing with the function of art, are particularly Interesting: "What Is the object of art'.' If reality struck our senses and our conscious ness directly. If we could enter Into Immediate communication with tilings and with each other, I believe that art would he useless, or rather that we would all be artists, for our souls would then vibrate continuously In unison with nature "Our eves, aided by our memory, would cut out tn space and tlx In time Inimitable pictures. Our glance would seine In passing, sculptured In Ihe living marble of the human body, hits of stat uary as beautiful as those of antiquity. We would hear singing In the depths of our soul like music, sometimes gay, more often plaintive, always original, the uninterrupted melody of our Inte- rlor life. "All this around us, all this Is In us, and yet nothing of all this is per ceived hy us distinctly, Hetwcen nature and us -What do I say? between us and our own consciousness, a veil Inter poses, a thick veil for the common man, a thin veil, almost transparent, for the artist and the poet. What fairy has woven this veil',' "Art Is only a more direct vision of reality. One might sa without In the least playing upon the sense of words, that realism Is In the work when Ideal Ism Is In Iho soul, and that It Is by forca of Ideality alone that one can regain contact with reality."

Coroner Kelnberg, who is conducting one investigation, issued a statement placing the blame on those in charge of the Mayor's license bureau Commis sioner of Licenses Wallace said that his department had not Issued the license. As .1 matter of fact the license for the Houston Street Hippodrome was issued by Ihe Police Department on May I, ll.' It was issued as a license for a theatre seating not more than L'W persons He fore the police issued the license they received reports from representatives of the Fire Department, the Hoard of Water Supply. Gas and Klectricity and the HulldiiiR Department. All of these re ports stated that Ihe Hippodrome had met with the requirements provided by law and thereupon the license was issued, and the police had nothing more to do with the placo except to see that order was preserved there Coroner f'einberg examined many wit nessesyesterday and none of them would swear that there were more than 209 persons in Ihe place at the time Ihe cry of "Fire'" was raised. This agrees with the statements of Charles Stelner nnd Abraham Mlnsky, proprietor of the place, now in custody of counsel, who said that tho house was not full when the trampling began They told the Coroner that they had complied with all the re quirements of the law. that their aisles were twelve feet wide and their exits even wider, and that they kept the aisles clear Witnesses, however, told newspaper men shortly after the last ambulance had left tho scene on Sunday night, that in the crowd that fought around the vesti bule of the old church in which the moving picture show was situated there could not have been less Uian 500 men, women and children. These witnesses say that there were many standing in the rear of the place when the panic took place and that many ran up the stoop from the street Coroner Kelnberg after his investiga tion said "Kvery man, woman and child who paid their nickel admission knew Instinctively that lliey were going into a fire! rap, and in their inner consciousness all thai was needed was Ihe faral cry of Fire' lo drive them Into h panic with the resulting loss of life nnd injury lo limb The old Lutheran chinch leased hy Hie Hippodrome Com paiiyls made entirely of wood that Is worm eaten and worn away in a great many places t was not necessary for short circuited wires to siarl the fire, but a mere dropping of s mnrf.-h In almost anv corner of the building would do- so. I would like to ask of those 'higher up' who have to do with the moving picture legislation whether they would let their wives or their children enter such moving plctuie houses as the Houston Hippodrome at any hour of the day or night of the I wentieth century In a letter on the subject which Fire Commissioner Johnson sent to the Mayor yesterday he says: "The lire Department, when this theatre had a concert license, played violations upon it for overcrowding on April s, 10, JO and May l and ll, mil, and the Cor poration Counsel had a fine of 157.50 imposed In each case. Hecent inspection showed no excessive standees. Perhaps the acci dent could have been avoided If the front elts had been even with the street level but that is doubtful ' There are now soo' of such places In New York. Panics in them are likely ro recur under Ihe same conditions, Fach place has several audiences a night, and ten minutes after a fire prevention inspec tor visits them, in some cases, they are overcrowded again 1'nder rhe present situation the only corrective measures are criminal prosecutions with severe sentences .May I suggest lo your Honor that the new Aldermanlc ordinance place the entire responsibility for conditions in moving picture shows, both as lo seat ing capacity, exits and hyglenlo and moral conditions, under one head, so that there bn no duplication of inspections and there shall bo but one responsibility? While these statements were being given out the Corp futility on Chrystle street v;tn preparing for tho funeral of their mother, Morguerita, who had lien trampled to death on Sunday night.
