THE SIMPLE FACT
If there is one thing more
than another that is respon
sible for the speed with which
this organization works, it is
the simple fact that our prep
arations arc at all times so
far and consistently in ad
vance of the work in hand as
to enable us to keep working
on an operation without stop
ping in the middle of it.
Speed in building construc

tacular spurts in spots, but
by moving all the time.

Lonihin, April 24.- The nrtlsta whose

Academy's committee for the annual ex

when they saw or heard of the workmen
at the academy going on strike and
lefuslng to remove the unappreciated
works.
There were only sixteen of these pic

cause they had received notice of a re

which were lined up outside the build

These men, while only employed cas

In the engineer's quarters far below J .'tore, F II Mills and 11. 1 Snmstng.
the street level In the Woolworth Build- A special train from Washington
Ing and thousands of lights flashed nut
from the fifty-five stories to signal that
New York's newest heaven kissing
tower was opened formally for service.
In recognition of the completion of the
work many distinguished men from nil
parts of the country gathered on the
twenty-seventh tloor to do honor to
Cass Gilbert, the architect, of whose
brain th'o wonder was born, nnd Inci
dentally to dine at a point higher above
this part of the world'n surface than
most of them had reached before.
The twenty-seventh tloor of the Wool-
worth Building wasn't designed for a
banquet hall, but you wouldn't hnve
guessed It last night when F. Hopkln
son Smith, standing beside Frank W.
Wrolworth, announced that the guests
were met at "a dinner of accomplish-
tnetit."
Before Mr. Smith settled down tJ the
regular business of Introducing people
be rend letters of congratulation fnm
ex-President Taft. whose natno was
greeted with cheers; Gov. Fielder of
New Jersey, Secretary of the Navv
Daniels anil many other distinguished
pfolli' men. At the table where Mr.
Gilbert sat as guest of honor were f!ov.
Aram J. Pothler of Rhode Island. Judge
T. C T. Craln, Senator Itoblnson of Ar-
Kr.nsvs, iouls J. Horowitz, builder nf
the skyscraper; Gonzales S. Cordova,
Minister from Kcuadnr; Justice Charles,
L. C.uv. F.dward K. McCall. chairman of
the Public Service Commission. D. J.
Walsh, William Winter. Patrick Fran-
els Murphy. W !:. IS. Halliard, Frank
Donohue and C. S Woolworth.
F. Hopklnnnn Smith spoke of the
achievements of the country's great
business men. classing Mr. Woolworth
among them and citing htm as nn ex
ample nf the opportunity for success
which, he said, was still open to nil In
spile of the statements of those who
delighted In attacking men wlio had
succeeded. He added that "attacks on
rich men are quite persistent of late
and from a high quarter."
Then he invited his audience to stand
on the sidewalk some day and "took up
until you get the roofs of your mouths
sunburned while gar.lng nt the Gothic
tower piercing the blue, a lasting monu
ment to the poor farmer boy who kept
at the head of the procession."
That started the cheering nnd there
was more of It when Mr, Woolworth got
up. He started right In saying nice
things about Mr. Gilbert. As he called
the roll of those, who. he said, had made
the building possible, beginning with
Mr. Moore and Mr. Smith, his Hist em
ployers, he called on the men he named
to stand up. and the cheering for the
"Woolworth exhibits." as some one
named them, was almost continuous.
Mr Woolworth snld that when he told
Mr. Gilbert that he wanted a building
750 feet high the architect had in
quired If ho was to be 'limited' to that
height. Mr. Woolworth said he had re
plied that was "the minimum." He
added that It was only recently that he
had learned Just how high the building
Is. Mr. Gilbert, he snld, didn't tell him
xnctly, so he ordered engineers to make
sure of the exact measurements. These
showed, ho said, that at the Park place
corner the distance from sidewalk to
tower top was 791 feet 1 Inch, on the
Barclay street corner 792 feet and at the
Barclay street entrance 793 feet 9 Inches,
The foundations are 121 feet below the
street level, so Mr. Woolworth figured
that his buildjng Is 913 feet 1 Inch high.
When It came Mr. Gilbert's turn he
said that If he had known Mr. Wool
worth as well two years age as he does
now ho wouldn't have stopped at 791
feet fi inches, which nro his figures for
the distance from sidewalk to tower
top.
Mr Gilbert returned all of Mr. Wool
worth's compliments with Interest. Mr.
Woolworth, he said, was tho real ar
chitect, sinco he hnd found in him tho
absolute essential for such a work, "the
sympathetic client "
He said that Mr. Woolworth had proved
that the old fashioned virtues of Indus
try, honesty and thrift were ns sure to
bring success as ever. And he told of
how XIr. Woolworth hnd solved the prob.
lem of financing the undertaking, which
cost 13,SOO,000, "He Just didn't bother
with financing; he paid as he went
along," said Mr. Gilbert. "I asked his
bankers about It and they told mo that
the Woolworth Building Is a structure
unique In New York, since It stands
without mortgage and without a dollar
of Indebtedness."
That statement brought nut nil tho
cheering forces and caused the big noise
of the celebration. Whop Mr. Gilbert
could make himself heard he said that
the building stood n a monument to
Mr, Woohvorth'.s "energy, tnsto and
civic pride," and that Mr. Woolworth
fulfilled the definition of "a patron of
the arts," slnco he was one of those
who gave to artists their opportunity.
Mr. Gilbert was no sooner seated than
he had to rise, again to receive a huge
silver punch bowl presented by Mr.
Woolworth.
Other speakers wero Louis J Horn
wltz. who had to answer tho plensant
things said by Mr. Woolworth and Mr.
Gilbert about "the builder"; William
Winter, who spoko of "tho artist and
tho Woolworth Building," and Patrick
Francis Murphy, who said among other
things that brought laughs:
"Our host and guests, represent a
happy union of commercial genius and
architectural art, like those suburban
houses semi-detached."
Before tho guests wero token to the
alpine heights of tho banquet hall Mr.
Woolworth held a reception on the mez
zanine floor, occupied by tho Irving Nn
tlonal Bank. He said later that when he
first canin to Now York ho went to thnt
bnnk nnd found It reluctant to accept
his small deposit.

A. Slpp out of the Stato nro expected
to ask for a change of vonno next Mon
day. Whether a change of venue, should bo
asked for or not caused a division of
opinion among counsel for tho Inspec
tors yesterday.
Oeorgo Gordon Battlo of counsel for
Sweeney and Francis L. Wellmnn of
counsel fgr Hussey were said to favor
such an application. John B. Stanch
Held, newly rotalned counsel for ex
Inspector James F. Thompson, opposed
the move.
A change of vonuo not only would
bring the trial Into an up-Stato county,
where the police question has received
less public, lntereft, hut also probably
would mean that the trial of tho In
spectois could not be reached beforo
fall, and very likely not until after
the forthcoming city election.
Air. Stanchtleld nnd George Gordon
Battle, counsel for ex-Inspector Dennis
Sweeney, untitled District Attorney
Whitman yesterday that thny will move
before Justice Seahury In the Criminal
Brunch of the Supreme Court this
morning for leave to withdrnw pleas of
not guilty, and If this Is gtanted will
demur to tho Indictments.
The demurrer will be based partly nn
the allegation that the Indictments were
found on the testimony of accomplices.
Justice Sexbury already has decldeJ
against all four policemen so far as the
question of tho testimony of accom
plices Is concerned.
It Is believed In the prosecutor's olllce
that tho trial will go on Tuesday In
splto of to-day's motions.
Policeman Thomas F. Ttohlnson, who
was convicted of extortion last Friday
will bo hrought before Justice Seahury
for sentence this morning. The maxi
mum penalty Is fifteen years. As a first
offender Itoblnson could sone only seven
years nnd n half.
Immediately after sentence Harry
Knpp, counsel for Itoblnson. will go In -foro
Justice l'aqe in Part 1. of the Su
preme Court nnd ask for a certltlcale of
reasonable doubt. There is no talk of a
confession.
The Supreme Court Grand Jury heard
one witness In the police graft cases
yesterday. This was Claus Holding, pro
prietor of the Sinclair Hotel in 125th

Bohllmj was called In connection with
a report that monev was raised to keep
Policeman John J. Ilartlgiin. formerly of

The Chief Maglstiate appeals for

The Institution Is unable to receive any

."On Women are slunliig In corridors
and wheicvu- beds can be put for them.
Mr McAdoo snys tlut the Magistrates
do not want to send the younger women
to tne workhouse, ajul the city prisons
are full of girls waiting for commitment.
Tho reformatory nt Bedford Hills, Mr.
McAdoo says, has the obvious advantage
over other Institutions to which these
women enn be committed of being In the

road station or any settlement, ami with
plenty of itrnund around the buildings to
give tile Inmates an opportunity of doing
outdoor work." There Is no fence nround
the place, "yet scarcely one Inmate has
ever escaped or tried to do so"

SCUTARI WILL NOT
BE MONTENEGRIN
Continued from Ptrst Pupr.
morrow Instead nf two weeks hence as
originally proposed.
The session nf the committee was so
secret that members of the Reichstag
wlio are not members of the budget com
mittee were not admitted. In order to
get around the rule which does not per
mit the exclusion of members of the
Helchstug from committee meetings the
I'udset Committee held an Informal and
unoflkial conference with tho Imperial
Chancellor, Dr. von Hethmann-Hollwcg,
nnd the assistant secretaries of the
Foreign Otllco.
These officials are said to have ex
plained the International situation. They
laid particular stress 1111 the possibilities
of complications over tho surrender of
Scutari. The Minister of War. Gen. von
lleerlngen, explained the military situ
ation and the necessity for Immediate
action on the bills providing for nn ap
propriation of $2fiO,orw.noo for military
purposes and the Imposition tuxes on
Incomes tn cover the increased expendi
tures. His statement Is said to have Im
pressed the committee In such a way
that it was decided to take the matter
up at once.
The Foreign Olllee gave out the usual
statement thnt the Government was
optimistic over the outlook and did not
look for serious complications because
of the unanimity among the Towers.
In other diplomatic circles strers Is
laid on the fact that the unpopular task
of coercing Montenegro is placed on
Fngland, whose admiral, being the
senior otllcer. Is in command of the in
ternational fleet on tho Montenegrin
coast.
A lively exchange of despatches Is
going on between Vienna and Eerlln.
