CITY MAY YET GET
ROCKEFELLER GIFT
Estimate Board Expected to
Reverse Refusal of Drug
Hospitals.
COPELAND HAD ACCEPTED
Correspondence Published to
Show No String Wn
Attached to Offer.
There appeared yesterday to be every
likelihood that the offer of the Rockefel
ler Foundation to present thirteen port
able hospital buildings worth 1150.000 to
the city for uae In the care of drug ad
dicts haa not II: .ally been rejected, de
splts the refusal of the Board of Esti
mate, at Mayor Hylan's Insistence, to
accept the gut.
The buildings, which were used as a
war demonstration hospital until the
need no longer existed, are at Sixty
fourth street and Avenue A, and Dr.
Royal S. Copeland, Health Commissioner,
wishes the city to accept the gift and
move the structures to Warwick Farm,
In Orange county. The Foundation has
agreed to stand the cost of removal.
The refusal of the Board of Estimate
to have anything to do with the offer at
Its meeting Friday was signified by a
vote of ten to six after the Mayor had
amid he was opposed to accepting any
thing from the "Rockefeller crowd" and
the Comptroller had charged that the
gift was not "made In good faith." Ac
cording to the provisions of the city
charter any action which the Board of
Estimate takes, in order to be Anal, must
have twelve of the sixteen votes, or a
majority of three-fourths.
When the matter conies up again at
the next meeting, only nine votes, or a
majority, will be needed to secure the
gift for the city's use. Thus, If the ten
votes In the board that are already fa
vorable to the acceptance do not change
the measure Is assured of passage with
one vote to spare at the forthcoming
meeting.
Correspondence Published.
The entire correspondence with rela
tion to the offer to the city was made
public yesterday by the Rockefeller
Foundation. Its decision to turn the
buildings over to the city or to some In
stitution was first announced by George
E Vincent, the Foundation's president.
When on April 7 he addressed Identical
letters on the subject to Dr. Copeland and
to officials of the Charity Organltatlon
Society, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
the Home Service Section of the Ameri
can Red Cross, the Association for Im
proving the Condition of the Poor, the
Department of Civilian Relief of the Red
Cross and the Public Health Committee
of the New York Academy of Medicine.
"As you may be aware." President
Vincent wrote, "the Rockefeller Founda
tion has been maintaining through the
Institute for Medical Research. tem
porary hospital for demonstrating some
modern methods of war aurgery. The
hospital has been maintained on tho In
stitute grounds. It was erected In tar
racks form and Is capable of being
easily moved from one place to another.
"The purposes of the war demonstra
tion hospital have now been realized.
The Institute wishes to clear Ita groundB
and e are therefore considering trm
disposition of the hospital buildings. It
has occurred to us that some of the
Institutions doing health work In New
York might be ble to make use ogUhne
Ihilldlngs. It this proves to be the case,
we should like to donate the buildings
to that Institution which would seem
able to make the best use of them. With
this in mind, we are sending a letter
similar to this to a number of Institu
tions and organizations In New York
State. We have thought that you might
know of some Institution that would be
Interested In using them?
"The buildings are fifteen in number,
nf varying sites, and composed of five
foot units. They include a reception
building, administration building, two
wards, operating room. Isolation bulla.
Ir.g. laboratory, kitchen, mess, laundry,
store room, recreation building, order
lies' quarters, nurses' quarters and
maids' quarters. Plumbing and tnterioi
eauipmuit are complete."
Gift to ( H Susrgeated.
On April IS this letter elicited ree.i
from Miss Graham Mulhall of the ad
visory board on drug addiction o K
Department of Health. In writing
.nwin n. lmoree, secretary of the
Rockefeller Foundation, she said i
"In view of the lamentable lack of f.
clllties for the care and treatment of
drug addicts it occurred to me that you
might feel disposed toward offering these
buildings to the New York City Health
Department or to such other govern
mental or private agency as would make
provision ior me proper use of them in
surroundings most conducive to the best
possible results in the rehabilitation of
'ine arug addicts. There Is a posslhlllty
of obtaining the use of the property at
Warwick. Orange county. New York,
owned by the city, which is Ideal in
many ways for the purpose contemplated
"I should appreciate hearing from you
as to whether the buildings are still
available, what their condition Is, what
ineir capacity is and under what condi
tlon you would be disposed toward do
iwkina uiem tor me worK with the drug
noeuuss, i need not say that the de
niaiiu ior aamianum provisions for this
t iaea ot unrortunates Is irute. Your fa
vorable action would be of great assist
ance In providing the needed facilities
and it would be appreciated on the part
Of every one of us who is concerned In
the matter."
Purpose Is Explained.
"In disposing of the buildings," wrote
Mr. Embree the next day In reply, "It
is ine purpose or the Rockefeller Foun
datlon to make them available If possl
I" Bunm organization inut can use
intin to uest advantage in connection with
hospital or other philanthropic work. We
should expect to turn over the buildings
without charge to some such organiza
tion. If it appeared that these buildings
were available for the purpose you out
line we should be very glad Indeed to
gives special consideration to any request
ior mem mat may come from the De
partment of Health of the city of New
York."
'This was followed May 1 by another
letter from President Vincent sent to
Dr. Copeland, In which he reiterated the
desire of the Foundation In the matter
On May 5 Mr. Vincent again wrote Dr.
Copeland as follows:
"This Is a memorandum of our tele-
pnone conversation of Friday. We have
agreed to postpone any decision as to
the disposition of the War Demonstra
tlon Hospital buildings at the Rocke
feller Institute until sou are aide to
determine the factors In the problem of
dealing with drug addicts. I understand
that you will be able In all probability to
reach some conclusion within tlie next
few days.
"As I said to you In our conversa
tion, the Foundation would be glad to
consider carefully any official request
from the city authorities for the gift of
these buildings.
"We have reached a point In the solu
tion of this problem (the care of drug
addict" ." wrote Dr. Copclani In answer
on May 10, "Where It ts necessary for
us to have an Institution In the coun
try where convalescent patient may be
taken after preliminary treatment In
the local hospitals. We now have at
Riverside Hospital. North Brother
Island. 100 patients ready to be taken
to some outside Institution, and there Is
no available place for their reception.
Your buildings are admirably fitted for
the uses we have In mind. The Board
of Health will greatly appreciate the
gift of she War Demonstration Hospital
buildings, and I am authorised by the
Mayor to go forward with the negotia
tions looking to the reception of this
property ha- this department. At I
understood our conversation, the Rocke
feller Foundation Is willing to move the
buildings and set them up on city prop
arty. At the present moment It Is our
plan to make use of the Warwick Farm
for this purpose.
Great ffil of Balldlnajs.
"I need not remind you how great Is
the need of our community for proper
treatment and care of drug addicts.
Despatches from Waahlngton, printed In
the papers to-day. Indicate that In our,
country are more than a million slaves
to habit forming drugs. It is my opin
ion thst we have In the neighborhood of
100,000 addicts In this city. I have not
been satisfied to go forward until some
system of registration and proper con
trol could be planned and put Into ef
fect. Such regulations will be in force
within a few days and on Friday of this
week I intend asking the Board of Esti
mate and Apportionment for funds to
carry on the drug clinics and to operate
the Rockefeller Hospital, should your
Foundation be good enough to make this
generous gift to the city.
"I regret that I have had to delay
replying to your letter of May until
to-day. but It Is only now that I have
had assurances that proper regulations
will be afforded."
Two days later, on May 22, Dr. Cope
land received the following from Presi
dent Vincent:
"Your letter to the Rockefeller Foun
dation was considered yesterday by the
board of trustees, who voted to approve
the transfer of the War Demonstration
Hospital buildings to the Department of
Health, and authorised the executive
committee to make the necessary de
tailed arrangements and provide funds
to a reasonable amount for the taking
down, moving and reerectlon of the
structures on a site to be provided by
the city.
"If you will kindly Indicate some rep
resentative authorized by you to make
the necessary arrangements on behalf
of your department we shall be glad to
take up at once the consideration of
details."
Copeland Accepts for (IIt.
"My dear Dr. Vincent: I need not
tell you how pleased I am over your
letter of May 22," Dr. Copeland replied
on the 2th. "Dr. Robert J. Wilson,
director of the bureau of hospitals of
this department. Is authorized to meet
your representative to arrange the (nat
ter ot details. In the meantime I shall
have appropriate action taken by the
city and will have provision made for
the site on which the buildings may be
erected. I assume that this action will
be taken on Thursday or Friday of this
week."
The last letter In the correspondence
was one sent Dr. Copeland by Secretary
Embree of the Foundation, July 9.
"It was our expectation," he wrote,
"that the buildings would be removed
Immediately to tbe site decided upon
by the Department of Health. The uses
for which the buildings have stood on
the Institute grounds have been accom
plished since the time of the action at
our May meeting. These buildings are
Involving expenditure for guarding and
protecting nnd are occupying space
which we very much- need for other pur
poses. "I recognize the necessity for some
deliberation In such matters on the part
of your department. On the other hand.
I am sure that ou will understand our
desire, which' In the near future will
amount to a practical necessity, to have
these buildings removed promptly. Will
you not be good enough to let me know
when we may count upon the removal
of the buildings to the site determined
on by your department?"
'L' TRAINS' CRASH '
KILLS 1; HURTS 10
Motorman Succumbs . After
Rear End Collision on
Third Avenue Line.
HYLAN VISITS THE SCENE

Brakes and Cars Slid on
Wet Rails.

nue elevated crashed Into the rear car
of a train stopping at the Orand street
station yesterday afternoon and Injured
eleven persona one fatally. Michael
Moran, II, of 246$ Motion avenue. The
Bronx, tie motorman, was hurt Inter
nally and died last night In St. Vincent's
Hospital. None of the others, who were
passengers In the rear car of the first
train, was leverely1 Injured.
Traffic wia held up for three hours
while the wreckage was cleared away.
Mayor Hylan, on his way to the police
games at Sheepshead Bay with Police
Commissioner Enrlght, stopped off to
look over the damage.
"If the Public Service Commissioner
would pay more attention to steel cars
and less to two cent transfers this acci
dent would not have happened," was the
comment the Mayor made to the re
porters. District Attorney Bwann and Asslst
snt District Attorney Joyce also visited
the wreck.
They absolved Motorman Moran of
blame and said after a preliminary In
vestigation that he had evidently stuck
to his post of duty and made every
effort to stop the train.
The District Attorney described the
cars as "mere shells" of the flimsiest
kind of material and said he would
write to Leswls Nixon. Public Service
Commissioner, requesting Information
regarding orders permitting the use of
wooden cars
Mr. Joyce said the wheels of the sec
ond train had probably been locked by
swift application of the brakes. No
supcenas were Issued, but It was said
officials of the Interborough may be
summoned to testify to-morrow.
The crash was heard several blocks
and brought a crowd which stood In the
rain for hours watching the workmen
clear the tracks. Firemen were called
to help extricate Moran, the motorman,
who was Imprisoned In the wrecked car
for thirty minutes after the collision.
Hoth cars were of the old fashioned
wooden type and were crushed In, the
platform and endB being destroyed.

With bitterness in their hearts, two
Chinese. H. K. Kunr and T. H. Hsu.
sent to the Peace Conference by the
Province of Shunning to protest against
an award of that province to Japan,
talked yesterday at the Hotel McAlpln.
denouncing the Leasue of Nations and
soorlnr Preeldent Wilson. Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau.
"China Is humiliated." said Mr. Kung.
"Her rights are disregarded. Her future
Is endangered. The property and the
people of Shantung are taken as chat
tels and pawna
"To all our protests the Hlg Three
turned a deaf ear. When -we asked for
the right to make a reservation we were
flatly refused. How then could China
sign the treaty which robbed her? It
Is Inconceivable that the Big Three
should have taken such steps against
China They are supposed to be the
protectors of small or weak nations.
Why did they spurn China? Why did
they not prove to the world that they
still uphold the rights of small nations
as they' did when they were fighting
Germany ?
Japanese Intrlsrne Seen.
"It Is not generally known to the world
why China's right to make a reserva
tion was rejected. The Pig Three were
at first indifferent about the matter, but
Japan of course did not like the Idea
at all. Then Japan began to Intrigue
to make the Dig Three deny China s
plea for a reservation. The Japanese
method was falsely to Inform the Pig
Three that our delegatea had received
Instructions from the Pekln Government
to sign the Peace Treaty whether or
not they were allowed to make a reser
vation. Thla led the council to believe
that our protests were not sincere, since
we would have to sign anyway, and that
we were simply trying to get the most
out of the situation. Thus the Big Three
fell In with Japanese intrigue as they
hsd fallen In with German Intrigue dur"
lng the war. Their reputation has been
hurt by thla unjust treatment of China,
but we demonstrated that our attitude
and opinion could not be changed by
any pressure.
"China has been betrayed. She was
Induced to enter the war so that she
could be represented at the Pesce Con
ference and her complaints heard by the
champions of world Justice. She did
her best to assist the Allies, releasing
German and Austrian ships Interned In
Chlt.ese waters and sending laborers In
great numbers to European frontiers to
help with the wsr. believing that she
would be recognised as a sincere lover
of freedom and Justice and that there
fore freedom and Justice would be ac
corded to her And aha Was betrayed at
the very time that she was assured of
support. Her rights were sacrificed at
the vefy time that the great statesmen
were talking of upholding the rights of
small and weak nations.
"Disappointments are futile, but we
wonder If might and right are still con
fused. After the greatest sacrifice of
hrman life and property In the world's
history Is the world going back to the
practloes of the old times?
Fear of Japan teen.
"The reason given for America's
agreement to the Shantung settlement Is
that It had to be made to save the
league of Nations, that otherwise japan
would have withdrawn from the league,
and that there would have been ihe pos
sibility of a Japanese-German alliance
to handicap the league. If that Indeed
!s the reason, then the word 'bribe' used
by Senator Lodge Is thoroughly Justified.
Why should Japan be paid at the ex
pense of an associated nation? Can a
member thus bought be trusted? Should
a traitorous ally be bribed to prevent
treachery? Can a league thus con
structed be of any value to the world?
Will the original league we ask finally
be saved by the Shantung settlement?
"No ! Instead of settling the question
tho Shantung settlement has raised a
new Issue In the Far feast. The Chinese
people will never scqulesce. The 36,
800.000 people of our province will never
surrender to Japanese aggression. They
have experienced Japanese cruelty. Al
ready boycotts against Japanese goods
are In operation, and more serious ac
tions are possibly coming. If there Is
an uprising the Chinese cannot be held
responsible, for they will be defending
their honor and their sacred rights.
"Shantung sent tens of thousands of
Its cltisens to Europe to labor for the
Allies. Their award Is the betrayal of
their economic and police rights to
Japan. What will these cltisens And
when they go back to their native land?
Japanese police, Japanese exploiters of
their own propertlea Can we expect
them to be satisfied with the conditions
of the tresty after they have experi
enced the terrors of war upon European
btttleflelds?
"The Chinese people are known as a
peace loving and law abiding people, but
under the circumstances what human
beings could endure any longer such
outrage and humiliation ?"
Mr. Kung and Mr. Hsu Intimated that
China's only hope lies In the flrmnesr. of
the United States Senate In refusing to
ratify the Shantung settlement.

8.OO0.O0O War Knlttera In I . ".
Eight million American women, knit
ting or otherwise laboring for the Hed
Cress during the war, produced 3S4,
S58,s55 articles, valued at 381, .449,
997, according to a report issued by the
American P.ed Cross yesterday. They
worked 800,000,000 hours, the equivalent
of the labor of 125,000 men solidly for a
year. The report deals only with the
production nf 149 standardised articles,
such as surglcai dressings, knitted arti
cles, hospital garments and supplies; but
there was a vast amount of work done
which was not listed.
Rouget, commonly known o the men
as the 'Bastlle.' In Paris the whole
atmosphere and spirit of the Institution,
as evidenced by the profanity, vulgar
and obscene epithets used against the
prisoners, appears to be a spirit of In.
tense hatred and hostility against the
National Guard.
National Guard "Hated."
"Repeated statements were made to
these men by guards, who claimed to
bo Regulars, reflecting upon the National
Guard as an Institution and as a fight
ing organisation. While no attempt Is
made to quote exactly the phraseology
used, the following Includes substantially
some of the expreslont employed :
Several unprintable expletives follow.
The Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth Di
visions are no damned good and that
is the reason they were gent up with
the British,' Ac.
"This spirit Is so entirely out of har
mony with general orders of the A. B.
F. that it Is not understood by the In
vestigating officers how such a con
dition can exist under Intelligent and
careful supervision without some knowl
edge on the part of the responsible of
ficers In command. Complaints were
also made by the men questioned on the
score of overcrowding, -unsanitary con
ditions, failure to provide either time or
facilities to wash, nnd continual Insults
by the guards. These conditions were
a subject of previous Investigation by
the Inspector of this dlvlsoln prior to
September 1. and from the statements of
these men It appears there was little
Improvement In conditions during that
time, although the matter was officially
called to the attention of superior head
quarters. "3. The principal object, however,
which the Investigating officers desire
to call to the attention of the command
ing general so that Immediate remedial
action can be had, Is the condition of
Prison Camp No. 2, where the state
ments made by these soldiers indicate
a condition exists rivaling the Siberian
prison camps, and much worse than ex
isted In German prisoner of war cages.
It should be borne lni mind that these
prisoners are In the main soldiers from
I the combat divisions, who are men of
! nbove average intelligence, and who are
in the main perhaps technically guilty
of absence without leave. Both of the
I Investigating officers believe absolutely
! and In toto the statements made them
by these soldiers That much brutality
I and inhuman treatment can exist in any
Institution under the control of Amer
icans Is unbelievable, but the evidence
la overwhelming.
Canadian War Victims organise.
'New Yorkers who served with British
or Canadian forcea overseas are organ
ising the British and Canadian Great
War Veterans of America. More than
400 former soldiers have enrolled at the
tenfporary headquarters In the Anderson i
Galleries, Park avenue and Fifty-ninth
j street. Branches of the association will I
j be formed In Boston, Philadelphia. Chi-
cago, nuuaio una nonniei. j Here w in
be a general meeting of the association
Tuesday evening at 7 :I0 o'clock In tho
American Railway Express Hall, Madi
son Square Garden.
Peraonal Efferta Conllsrated.
"4. The manner In which the personal
property of these men was taken from
thm aixl never returned seems trivial
after a recital of the more Important
facts of the case, but It Is a matter of
vital Importance to the soldiers con
cerned. Attention is invited to the fact
that not only official decorations and
property of considerable value waa
practically stolen from these soldiers,
but articles or great sentimental value,
such as a soldier's crucifix, the photo
graph of his mother, the photograph of
his sw-eetheart. and articles that could
be of no value to the person Into whore
hsnda they finally came were
cated.
"8. Many Instances brought to tlie at
tantion of the Investigating officers by
these soldiers were omitted from tho
sworn statementa, Including one tale of
an American prisoner of war who re
turned to Paris after eight months In tha
German prison camp and was placed un
der arrest by the military police because
he waa not supplied with travel orders,
". Another phase of the aUuetlon
which haa been omitted from the record
for obvious reasons Is the fact that these
men are drilled In front of the musalea
of machine guna and automatic rifles, a
precaution which mlghl be Justified wRh
condemned murderers, but Is hardly to
be expected In the American army as
part of the routine of an ordinary camp
ot detention.
"7. The men are also Isolated from the
outalde world and are not allowed ts)
communicate with their friends or sU
perlor officers. It was stated by many
of the men that many of their comrades,
particularly soldiers of the Thirtieth Di
vision, which haa fought side by aide
with the Twenty-seventh Division during
the entire war. are still Incarcerated In
thla prison farm and have aent letters
repealing to their company and regi
mental commanders for assistance. The
only way In which they have been able
to get this mall out was to send It by
prisoners leaving the farm.
Statements Believed True.
"8. Tie investigating officers are bofh
men who have been familiar with the
penal conditions In New York for many
yeara and are convinced that the atate
ments of all these men are true and that
a condition exists on this farm which
could not be tolerated for a single in
stant In any Institution under control of
Civil authorities.1'
In his Indorsement of the report, for
warded with It to the Adjutant-General
of the A..E. F.. Qen. O'Ryan said :
"1. Under dale of September 12. 1318,
I forwarded complaints of similar char
acter In relation to the treatment given
eome non-commissioned officers of this
division by the mlllt$,T authorities In
Paris. The facta reported by theae non
commlasloned officers were of such char
acter that I request the matter be
brought to the attention of thu com
mander in chief. No Information ban
been received of any action taken In
relation thereto. Tlie foregoing report
of the.dlvlalon Inspector and the Judpe
Advocate, who Investigated the com
plaints msde by the soldiers named In
their reports, speaks for Itself. Tiro
months have elapsed since the occur-
1 rence of the abuses flrst reported.
I "2. I repeat my former recommends-
tlon that vigorous action be taken in
1 relation to the matters complained of. as
! I believe the commander In chief would
! wish to be personally Informed of oc
' currencea of this character, so out of
harmony with the methods w hich obtain
In our army for the maintenance of
discipline. I request that these papers
be shown to the chief of staff. American
Expeditionary Force."
In his letter to Secretary Baker Col.
I Kincsjd suggests that the original re
i port and Its accompanying affidavits can
doubtless be located In the department
files, either at home or abroad, If care
ful search Is made.
"It should be of particular value at
this time." he aays. "especially as the
matter of the prison situation In Parte
was flrst called to the attention of supe
rior headquarters prior to September 1,
1918."
