Struggle Over Sallee iesPeacefu HnDea th Thousands of Blooms Surround Bier of Ten-Year-Old Dalton Girl Who Lost Fight Against ParalysisLegion of Friends Pay Final Tribute The brave struggle for life over, little Sallee Louise Dalton lay last night serenely peaceful in death. About her bier, embedded in a bower of thousands of blossoms, her friends hovered silently at the Fairchlld chapel, 86 Lefferts Place, to keep a ft Europa Leads 14 Vessels From Port; To Be Overhauled 2 Society Girls Are Being Brought Back From Cuba in Mystery Escapade The North German Lloyd line Europa, sailing from the foot of 58th this morning, led a parad of 14 vessels which leave New Yorle Harbor today. After this voyage the Europa will remain in Bremen for overhaul until March 21. She has been in operation three years, during which time she has made 100 crossings of the Atlantic. A passenger on the Europa was Patsy Ruth Miller, movie star, who told reporters that she would never make a picture again.

She refused to give a reason for her retirement. Among the passengers on a West Indies cruise in the Reliance ara Mr. and Mrs. Henry Borman and Miss Edna von Pollnitz o'f Jamaica and Edward F. Knecht of Forest Hills.

'Dr. J. G. William Greeff, Commissioner of Hospitals, will sail this afternoon in the Monarch of Bermuda for a on-week visit to Bermuda. The Commissioner is making the trip on the advice of hia physician.

Also on board were Samuel Sea-bury, former Supreme Court Justice, and Mrs. Seabury, sailing for a brief vacation in Bermuda. Two South Orange society girls who sailed for Havana under assumed names and without consent of their parents are on their way back to New York without having seen the Cuban capital, it became known today. The girls are Margaret Elizabeth ber about Sallee. He loves to speak of her, of her lively ways, her happy smile, the thousand and one little things she did and how she was loved for doing them.

Or her drawings and her paintings for which she had shown such talent. But poor Sallee, paralyzed completely from her neck down for a year and a half had not been able to so much as lift a finger, say nothing about painting. Mons. Hickey Her Frienu Numbered among Sallee's many friends was Mons. David J.

Hickey, Vicar-General of the Brooklyn Diocese and pastor of St. Francis Xavier. One day she met and talked with him in the street. Returning home she said to her mother, "If Mons. Hickey is like that, what must God be like." At the hospital doctors and nurses would do anything for Sallee.

Two of her special favorites were "Uncle Bill" McCarthy and "Dr. Tom" Fry who later came to be just "Tommy." "Dr. Tom," who used to spend hours at a time alone talking to the little girl, collapsed the other night. He's been at her bier since death, almost constantly, quite as he was before she died. Suffering Left Its Mark Last night, though the.

bright blue eyes were closed forever, all the sweetness remained in Sallee's lovely face. Her pretty blonde hair formed a soft frame about her face. Suffering had left its mark; she seemed older than her 10 years. In her hand lay the gold rosary beads her mother had given her at 7 years on the day of her First Holy Communion. Above was an illumined crucifix and tall candles stood at her head and feet.

Thousands of blossoms looked down upon her and there on the white, silken coverlet sab her beloved French doll. Sallee had 73 dolls. But the French doll was her favorite. A teddy bear "Woosey" had gone to bed with Sallee every night since she was 4. Besides Mother and Dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, innnumerable friends waited quietly by the bier.

Noel, Sallee's pal, was there with her Daddy, Harry Don-aghy, who was to sing the requiem responses at the funeral mass this morning. School children from St. Francis Xavier Academy, where Sallee went to schcol, came in droves in the afternoon; also 15 of the nuns and two novitiates. Mrs. Sadie Gardner, a grandmother, of Pawtucket, R.

was there with Sallee's other grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dalton of Brooklyn. James Bryan of Logan Bryan, brokers, Mr. Dal-ton's business firm, and his business associates came to pay a last tribute.

As they waited all seemed content Just to be near Sallee, though sad. Each one knelt to say a quiet prayer for the soul that had flown. final vigil. Today Sallee was to be laid to rest in Holy Cross Cemetery after a solemn high mass of requiem was sung at 9 a.m. in the R.

C. Church of St. Francis Xavier. Sallee had many friends. And their number increased by leaps and bounds from that day in July, 1931, when the little girl, stricken with infantile paralysis, was first taken to the Kings County Hospital to battle for life in the.

mechanical lung. A Gallant Fight "She loved life so," they said, and she put up a fight. Her cheerfulness proved an effective weapon. Though her life had been despaired of, in 21 days she was out of the mechanical lung. Last Summer Sallee had to go back to the respirator when a congested condition formed in her chest.

Renewing her battle she improved steadily and in 17 days she was out of the mechanical lung once more. Sallee used to say she didn't mind the roar of the respirator motor. It kept her company, she said. Had Premonition But last Sunday when obliged to submit to artificial breathing for a third time Sallee realized that it was asking too much for her frail self. She complained of being weak and told those about her that death seemed "to be stalking she felt she was going to be taken as Jimmy" had been.

"Jimmy" was a little boy who had died in a respirator on Sallee's previous visit to the hospital. The little girl's premonition of death seemed characteristic. She had an unusual mind. She was "too bright," they said. On Tuesday pneumonia proved fatal to her weakened lungs.

That night she died. Her last words were, "Take every thing; take the whole world." 'Sometimes Naughty "She was religious, but not saintly. She was sometimes naughty in school. But that was being mischievous. Her studies were easy for her.

She received practi cally 100 percent grades all the time," her Daddy said last night. Sallee was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Dalton of 359 Winthrop Place.

"Only the other night we asked her whom she loved most," the father continued. "She replied that she loved God most of all, St. The resa, the Little Flower, next; then her French doll and after that Dr. Fry. Tnd then her mother and me." "She put us last," Mr.

Dalton said, not one bit hurt but pleased at the thought. It seemed so like nis Sallee to say a thing like that. Loves to Speak of Her Even in his great sorrow Mr. Dalton smiled as he spoke. There seemed so much of Joy to remem Walter M.

Feb. 18 Official Albany is beginning to be concerned over the repeated threats of a taxpayers' strike against new and Increased taxes. This attitude, taken at two public hearings this week on budget bills and the sales tax, was intensified, according to word reaching the Capitol, at a meeting of truckmen in Buffalo last night, where opposition was expressed to payment of the 65 percent truck surtax, which will become effective March 1 unless the law is modified in the meantime. The truckmen insisted that they cannot pay the additional levy and that if they are required to do so thousands of vehicles will be taken off the roads and their drivers thrown out of employment. Democratic members of the Senate have blocked a move to get out of committee the Fearon bill exempting trucks weighing 4,000 or less pounds, contending that relief should not be confined to any one class or group.

It is understood, however, that the Democrats plan to Jam through, before March 1, a bill removing some of the more stringent features of the heavy truck tax. So widespread is the opposition to most of the proposed new levies, including the sales tax, that many legislators are insisting that the budget, already reduced $60,000,000, be cut further. The first step in that direction has been taken by Assemblyman Walter L. Pratt, St. Lawrence County Republican, who has a bill pending which would suspend all mandatory salary laws for two years and permit a reduction in such salaries of 20 percent.

Edward N. Post Funeral services will be held on Monday at 103 17th Paterson. N. for Edward N. Post, woh died at his home in Brooklyn, 316 Rutland Road, yesterday.

Interment wUl be in Cedarlaen Cemetery, Paterson. Mr. Post, who was 44, was a book keeper for the Wall St. firm of L. Rothschild Co.

Death was caused by peritonitis which set in following an operation for appendicitis performed at the Crown Heights HosDtal on Feb. 8. Mr. Post was a member of the Tilden Democratic Club of Brooklyn. He is survived by his wife, Carolvn.

and his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Post, who live New Jersey. Death came at 9:45 last night to Mrs.

Roosevelt Robinson, widow of Douglas Robinson and sister of the late President Theodore Roosevelt. She died at her home, 147 E. 61st Manhattan, after an illness of less than a week that had developed into pleural pneumonia. Born in Manhattan, Mrs. Robinson was educated by private tutors, was "presented" to New York society at the age of 18 and that same year was married to Douglas Robinson, one of the founders of Brown, Wheelock, Harris real estate concern.

Mrs. Robinson was the mother of four children, all born while she was in her twenties. They are, Theodore Douglas Robinson of Jor-danville, who was Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Coolidge; Corinne Elliott Douglas Robinson, now Mrs. Joseph W. Al-sop of Avon, Monroe Douglas Robinson of Manhattan and Stewart Douglas Robinson, who died in 1910.

All the surviving children were at the E. 61st St. home when Mrs. Robinson died. Busy in War Work With the characteristic Roosevelt energy, Mrs.

Robinson plunged into public work at the outbreak of the World War, and kept occupied despite the death of her husband in 1918 and of her famous brother the following year. She spoke in Liberty Loan campaigns, for the Salvation Army and the Red Cross, and was created a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor for her work in helping French refugees. She was a director of the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial Association, headed unemployment relief teams and was on numerous active committees. She announced herself in 1930 as a wet. Last year she declined to become a Republican elector-at-large, so as not to be in opposition to Mrs.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, her niece. Mrs. Robinson frequently wrote poetry and was a member of the Poetry Society of America. Seconded Wood Nomination She became an effective political campaigner in her later years.

At the Republican Convention in Chicago in 1920 her speech seconding the nomination of Leonard Wood was considered the best made there. Educated by private tutors, Corinne, as a child, played in the nursery with a large family of brothers and sisters, in which was included a frail, delicate brother Theodore, who was to become a President of the United States. Of him Mrs. Robinson wrote in later years: "A little dainty, narrow-chested boy In the nursery, suffering so that he could hardly breathe and propped up always with pillows that was Theodore Roosevelt, who became the first American citizen. He never said a word, never uttered a complaint, yet we all knew he suffered intensely." Mrs.

Robinson's poems had circulated among her friends in private for a long time before she attempted to have any of them published. The earliest of her poetic efforts were in commemoration of her famous brother. A volume of her verse, "Out of Nymph," more general in tone, was published in 1930. The first published work was "The Call of Brotherhood," published in 1912. Others were: "One Woman to Another," 1914; "Service and Sacrifice," 1919, and "My Brother, T.

in 1921 C. S. Patterson Jr. Philadelphia, Feb. 18 UP) Christopher Stuart Patterson who as Chippy Patterson was one of Philadelphia's best known criminal lawyers, died last night at Stone Harbor, N.

J. He was 60. Son of a family of high social status and notable legal achievement, Patterson forsook a career in corporation law to become defense attorney for murderers and other criminals because he never could resist what he considered the romance of fighting for the underdog. He was the son of the late C. Stuart Patterson, former dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and president of the Union League.

Asks First Decree CI Murder Charge in Boy Killing Case District Attorney Colden of Queens prepared today to seek a first degree murder Indictment against Harry Murch, the 15-year-old Richmond Hill Circle boy, who is charged with stabbing his 12-year-old companion, William Bender, to death.

Yesterday a 10-year-old boy told Children's Court Judge Hylan that he had witnessed the killing. The Bender boy's body was found in 1 an untenanted house at 5 Mauretania Richmond Hill Circle, Wednesday. Murch had bound and gagged him and then stabbed him to death for "snitching" on the older boy on a holdup last Fall, the police said. As Mr. and Mrs.

Henry Bender and only one friend attended fu neral services at Fresh Pond Crematory yesterday, police made one arrest which has a bearing on the Murch boy's activities. Detectives arrested Arthur Wi-nant, 17, of Ozone Park, and held him in $1,000 ball for hearing in Rockaway Court Feb. 21 on a charge of assault. It is alleged that Wlnant and Murch last October beat and robbed Mrs. Ragno Peterson of Richmond Hill Circle.

The robbery was revealed in an alleged confession by Murch. John Miller, a boy neighbor of the lad killed, told Justice Hylan, he witnessed the killing. "But, gosh," he told the jurist, "I didn't know he really intended to kill him. I thought he was just going to stick a knife into Billy." The boy was remanded without ball to the Children's Society, where he was quizzed. The cremation and funeral of the Bender boy was arranged by two Nassau business men, who learned that the family was destitute.
