When the chamber's congress meets In Washington next week business leaders of 46 nations will try to find out what they can do to improve world-wide economic con ditions without the aid of their governments.

A goal of 1.000 members was set. There was no scheduled speeches but several spoke briefly, evincing pride in race and a longing to help their own in distress. "Our organization will set an example I am sure will be followed by Italians throughout the United States," said Giaccone.

Against a background of the flags of Scotland and America and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" the cornerstone of the imposing six-story Rddltion to the hospital at 45 Woodruff Ave. was laid.

The "typical Scotch" weather failed to dim the colorfulness of the ceremony. All was reminiiscent of Scotland. A procession, led by the Lovat Pipe Band, marched from the main hospital building to the scene of the dedication. Following the pipers in their kilts came the 55 nurses connected with the hospital. They wore blue and red capes over their plaid and white uniforms.

The stone was laid by Mrs. Alexander Walker, wife of the first patron of the hospital 23 years ago. Within the stone was sealed a treasure box, given by Henrietta Ryan, president of the Nurses' Alumni and assistant superintendent of the hospital. Mrs. Walker, in laying the stone, said: "May the building which rests upon this stone be in a large measure a source of comfort and well-being to the faithful and devoted nurses who shall go out from her to minister to the sick and suffering." Lauds Scotch Thrift The president of the hospital, Donald G.

C. Sinclair, spoke on the history and achievements of the institution. "Those who make Jokes about the Scotch being mean and stingy," he said, "should come and take a look at this hospital. They should change their abjectlves to thrifty. "Our hospital Is the best managed from a financial standpoint of any in the city.

This new residence lor our nurses is completely paid for and free from debt. We offer it as our gift to this country as a mark of our appreciation." For the future Mr. Sinclair pre dicted that some day they would have the largest hospital in the city. He told of large plots of land facing on Prospect Park which the institution already owns in anticipation of its future building program. Assisting In the exercises were Dr.

John Deans, pastor of the Glen Morris Presbyterian Church; Mrs. Janet Steel Ewing, soprano, and Nora E. Young, superintendent. Guests Inspect Home Among the new home's features which were inspected by the guests are a number of suites for two nurses which consist of two bedrooms, a living room and a private bath. In the basement are classrooms, an auditorium, a laboratory and dietary kitchen for Instruction purposes.

Later it is planned to have a simming pool. On the ground floor are large social rooms and a library. There are also small sitting rooms on each floor. The total cost of the new home was $250,000. This amount was raised entirely through donations.

A bronze plate commemorating the largest single donation, that of John J. Kerr, a director, was placed in the lobby. Announcement of an entirely new type of medical clinic to be opened next month at the Caledonian was made by Mr. Sinclair. The feature will be that no names or records will be required of those receiving treatment.

The only thing they will be asked for will be a brief family history to aid in the diagnosis. Treatment will be free. Among those present at yesterday's ceremony were many of the medical staff, including Dr. Calvin P. Barber, chairman.

The other officers of the hospital are: J. Voshell. first, vice president, Ale-anrier MacDonald, second president Sarrue low. treasurer. Cbarle J.

When the Jekyll Island Club was formed, the combined wealth of its charter members was said to represent one-sixth of the world's total accumulation. The original roster included Van-derbilts, Astors, Goulds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Bakers, Mills and others of that rank. Today such names as Rockefeller, Gould, Morgan and Baker remain, but many of the others have been removed by death. Membership is by inheritance only.

The product they bottled was labeled "imported ale." The agents said they believed it was manufactured somewhere in this territory. More than 2,000 barrels of ale and many loaded cases were included in the seizure. Recall Hotsy-Totsy Deaths Events following the Hotsy-Totsy Club murders in New York City were brought into the hearing on Quattrocchi's application for bail on an assault charge. Deputy Attorney General Merrill told Justice Bliss of the "rubbing out" of witnesses to the Hotsy-Totsy killings, in connection with which Diamond gave himself up for questioning after a considerable absence from his accustomed haunts.

He said Quattrocchi, if freed, might impede the State's Investiga tion by Intimidating witnesses, Bennett Sees "Tough Job" Albany, May 2 W) Attorney General Bennett realizes that ridding the Catskill Mountain region of gangster activities may be an all Summer's job. "My observations during the week I have been in Satskill convince me I have a tough Job," he said today. "Information already gathered shows that Jack Diamond and his gang have done all their business with real finesse. For this reason witnesses generally have been reluctant so far to give any testimony as to actual commission of criminal acts by the Diamond gang." Tired of Delay, City Will Act Continued From Page 1 some time that the company would negotiate on such a scheme. Within the past few days the broad outlines of such a contract have been roughed out.

They involve a management contract or lease for a short term. This would not be more than ten years. Provision is being made also for cancellation at an earlier date if, and when, unification does become effective. At the same time the plan is to be worked out in such a way that if unification under the Downing-Steingut bill finally goes on the rocks, ihe city can continue a course toward that goal via the much-disputed Thayer amendment. This clears up the city's authority to purchase lines from private companies and amortize their cost out of earnings.

Changes Contemplated The plan also contemplates provision for joining the Culver line to the Smith-9th St. tube as an operating unit without the necessity for the legal procedure that would be incident to acquisition of that line by the recapture clauses of the present contract. It even goes still further into the future by paving the way for the addition of the Queens Boulevard and Fulton Grosstown units to the 8th Ave. trunk. Also the purchase and extension of the Liberty Ave.

elevated into Queens. The scope of the proposal Is sufficiently broad to work out a complete unification by degrees. The B. M. T.

would become a city-wide operating agency. It would hold a management contract but would not be a partner in ownership as under the existing dual contracts. The city would purchase one by one the private lines needed to round out its system. This would begin with acquisition of the Culver line and other B. M.

T. routes probably and then spread to Manhattan. Here It would involve absorption of the I. R. T.

tubes. Could Buy Out Two Lines With its new power to purchase equipment as well as railroads it could buy out the old East Side line and the 7th Ave. tube, parts of the equipment of which are not recap- turable. In all these purchases the city would exercise the authority given by the Thayer act to make an agreement for payment out of earn ings. This method would.

Delaney says, provide a broad scheme of unification without any possibility of involving the city's credit, $162,000,000 of which Untcrmyer needs to finance his plans. It would relieve the city also of financing the pur chase; of the Manhattan which loses at the rate of about $3,000,000 per year. FINANCIAL Business Opportunities 38 PIANO JAZZ IN IS LESSONS.

It was an inconspicuous institution "Baker's Ba'-'-." But Baker was watching it, building it up carefully. Finally there came an announcement that "Baker's Bank" was about to double its capital and declare a dividend equal to From then Baker was a national figure and his bank something of a national institution. Shares of its stock, originally issued at $100 each, sold later at as high as $3,500. Morgan and Hill Took Notice Morgan, Hill and others began to seek out Baker, ask his advice. He was asked to help In the ex pansion of the Great Northern Rail road and the Northern Pacific.

He was called in by other organizations. He held directorates, at one time, in 43 of them and had the reputation of attending more directors' meet ings than any other man in the world. The story is told though it may be apocryphal that at the birth of George Baker his only son, he began the practice of putting away the $20 gold pieces he received as fees for attending directors' meeting in a fund for young Baker. When the son was 21 that fund amounted to $100,000. Fortune Said to Be $300,00,000 United States Steel Corporation, American Telephone and Telegraph, the Pullman Company and numerous railroads were among the companies of which he was a director.

He was said to be, recently, the largest stockholder in United States Steel. His fortune was estimated at about $300,000,000. On the occasion of his 87th birth day, in 1927, it was pointed out that he was a greater active financial interest than he had been at 75 or at 50. He had become chairman of the New York Clearing House in 1900. As the other Wall Street leaders passed out of the picture the burden of his responsibilities constantly grew.

Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon said of him on one oc casion: Mellon's Tribute 'For over 60 years Mr. Baker, directly or indirectly, has been in close association with men in America who have been developing this country, shaping its policies, framing its ideals. Moral energy such as his does not cease with its exercise, but there is a persistence of the mental and moral forces which continues long after its original ap plication. "His coolness in crises suns panics in the crowd; his insistence upon sound principles compels their recognition elsewhere; his constructive touch upon a railroad reaches to every community in its territory; his simple talk to a friend In tne action it produces reacts among many.

So Mr. Baker, in the long active years which have been his, and which I think have been so much also his country's, has built, not in New York alone, nor in finance, nor industry alone, but in the hearts of all this nation, a firm belief in character. His spirit is a part of the foundation of America." i James J. Walsh, Long Member of Elks, Dies James J. Walsh, a member of Brooklyn Lodge, 22, B.

of nothing "worse for American business, today than a demand for another revision of tariff." His statement took issue with Mr. Smoot sald the Tariff Commission "has ample means for taking care of any legitimate complaint he (Barnesi may wish to make." He said reduction of imports was due to the general depression and not to tariff rates as asserted by Barnes. "If would be desirable to know whether Mr. Barnes believes that the world would be benefited by pulling down the standards of living in the United States by giving employment to people abroad Instead of to American workmen and American farmers." Senator Smoot's statement said. "My own belief is our own people will benefit the world as a whole through increasing the purchasing power of the American people.

"The Tariff Commission, since its organization in January, has dealt with 30 separate items and found, instead of being too high, four were too low, 14 were correct and but 12 required a reduction, and the commission ordered i reduction." Davis Hits Tariff Cuts Quakertown, May 2 (P) Drastic reductions in tariff were opposed tonight by Senator Davis. The Pennsylvania Republican, addressing the Eastern Pennsylvania Mail Carriers' Association, said action would constitute "a mortal blow against our national existence." The address followed recent statements by Senator Reed, Republican, who opposed reduction in rates, and W. W. Atterbury, former Republican national committeeman who indicated he thought tariff rates are too high. "Times are bad enough Davis said, adding that "labor is cheaper than it ever has been in the United States in comparison with other economic factors." Laud Jane Addams As She Receives Rryn Mawr Honor Dr.

Dewey Gills Social Worker Citizen of Great er World Community Bryn Mawr, May 2 (P) Jane Addams, internationally known social worker, was hailed at Bryn Mawr College today as "a citizen of the greater world community," by Prof. John Dewey of Columbia University. This was one of many tributes paid her by prominent men and women at exercises bestowing on her the M. Carey Thomas prize award, valued at $5,000. This award is made at intervals "to an American woman in recognition of eminent achievement." The alumni association of Bryn Mawr in 1922 raised $25,000 in honor of M.

Carey Thomas, then of the college, to found he award. It was given for the iirs time in June, 1922, to Dr. Thomas, and was awarded this year lor the second time. Huover Pays Tribute "I suppose," said Miss Addams, in accepting the award, "that peo- nli will wnnrier what- will Ha with (ne money. First.

I might give it to an unemployment fund. Then there are a lot of people I have met at Hull House who have since moved to the country and may lose their little farms unless they receive aid. There are many gifted immigrants in this country studying grammar, music and painting, who need a lift at crucial times." From President Hoover came the following tribute: "I am glad to learn that the M. Carey Thomas prize is to be awarded to Miss Jane Addams. Miss Addams' distinguished achievements, and her eminence in Ameri recognition, in arid nn tn th can life deserve every possible at which she already possesses in na tion wide admiration and affection." A message from Ramsay Mac-Donald, premier, also paid tribute.

"I think." said Dr. Dewep of Miss Addams, "her greatest contribution to our institutions Is what she has done to keep them from becoming institutionalized hard and inflexible. She has kept her faith with democracy, and kept it pure and unalloyed." Other speakers included Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Crtil- rlren Bureau, and Miss Frances Couzcn's Def i Is Sidestepped Continued From Page 1 speak, which was denied. Taking cognizance of the "hostile attitude American business shows toward Congress," the Senator said issues were not raised in Congress out of thin air, that Congress would not legislate on economic subjects if business did not create the needs.

He stated further that if American business would put into execution concrete remedies before Congress meets in December, there would not be sufficient public opinion to force Congress to act. Couzens' Puttier Some of the problems Couzens suggested were unemployment insurance, old-age pension and regulation of industries. Senator Couzens, in other words, rung down a flat challenge to the United States Chamber of Commerce to set Its own house in order. The chamber's answer was to recommend "further studies" and "the test of greater experience." About the most definite action taken was a recommendation opposing an increase in Federal taxation. One of the most vociferous critics of Congress, or of its individual members, has been Mr.

Barnes. He blamed politics for the economic plight of the world at the present moment, and then proceeded to list 11 opportunities for political action that would help restore prosperity. Most of Mr. Barnes' recommendations were aimed at Congress. The chamber it-self passed 17 resolutions requiring political action.

No Remedies Offered This being the case. Senator Couzens' criticism seems to have been sustained about 100 percent. The chamber proposed no concrete remedies for dealing with employment, old-age pensions, insurance or business stabilization. Mr. Couzens predicted that this would happen.

There is a general feeling here that the chamber committed a tactical error when it failed to invite Senator Couzens to give his views to the convention. The Senator has no particular idea how to solve the great economic problems, but he is disgusted with the manner in which American business tends to run down Congress. The Buck Is Passed He wanted to demonstrate that business men have even less idea how to handle the situation than has Congress. The demonstration seems to have been a success. Some of the business magnates gatheied at the Chamber of Commerce meeting have been severe critics of Congress and have asserted business improves to the ex tent that Congress remains out of session.

Against this background the chamber's demand that Congress enact a whole batch of laws is pointed out as ridiculous. The chamber, in other words, has passed the burl: to Congress, which tis jiul wiiat Senator Couzens pre dicted would happen. Differ on Tariff I Two Democrats today looked upon the speech of Mr. Barnes yesterday as an indication that industry was leaning toward the Democratic tariff views, but a Republican regarded it as the opinion of a very Sim 11 group of international bankers, importers and retailers, says the Associated Press.
