20 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 22, 1922. Impressions of the "Tiger" Reveal Sobriquet Is Misfit Motorcar That Flashed Lights On Scene of Hall-Mills Tragedy CHARGE RIEGELMANN HOLDS UP SOLDIERS MEMORIAL FOR E.N.Y, HYLAN TO CONSULT MURPHY ON JOBS AT FRENCH LICK SPA Carries Vest-Pocket List of Favorite Aspirants for Big Chief's Inspection.

When Mayor Hylan left the city a ftfw days ago on a Vacation, accom Photo shows motorcar owned by George Sipel, a hog farmer of New Brunswick, ST. which, he says, turned into de Russey's lane throwing the beams from Its headlights towards the crab-apple tree enabling Mrs. Gibson who was near by on her mule, to see clearly the persons concerned in the Ifall-Mllls tragedy. Sipel is a star witness for the State In the Grand Jury probe of tho murder mystery. The exigencies of politics do not affect his impersonation.

The peace is sim-' ply another act of the drama and calls for different lines. How else can we interpret the appeal Clemenceau now makes to America? At the Paris Conference, if we can trust the pictures drawn by Keynes and others, Clemenceau was the cynical, crafty dictator. He was the schemer who conspired with Lloyd George to fool Wilson and impose a Blsmarckian peace upon Jhe Germans. He wos the "realist" who took a fiendish delight in pulling the wool over the eyes oMhe Presbyterian professor. A Different Man Here.

We find a different man here. The Clemenceau who moved his audience last night was first of all an idealist, even a romanticist. Foch said he would be sentimental, "like all old people.1' He was not; but his plea was to sentiment, to the heart, rather than to the head. He had many pointed things to say. He has asked something of America that must be granted in one way or another.

He brought back to us some of the idealtsm and high purpose we carried to Europe; but he was not merely sentimental. He has some hard facts In his argument. "Reparation" does appear In the Armistice (Article XIX) which we signed before we "went away," as he said, and left France alone. Clemenceau has obsessions. He says Germany is preparing a new war.

He lives much in the past, but it is a long past, and he has a good memory. He makes a mistake if he thinks he can win converts here by pointing out contingent dangers. But he is dangerous on other grounds. He made every one within the sound of his voice believe him when he gave it as his truth that America had been recreant in deserting her Allies One can almost se Clemenceau's mind work. Woodrow Wilson fathomed it at Paris when he spoke of, ita curiously feminine quality.

One does not impress a feminine mind by argument. Clemenceau was not converted to the Wilson peace at Paris. But he knew then that the drama was not finished, for he said after Mr. Wilson had made a particularly moving speech setting forth in the Council of Four his vision of the peace: "You are a good man, Mr. president, and a great man." Clemenceau was a good man then and he is a good man now.

And he is putting his faith in ideals. Curiously enough, he now stands In relation to America much as Wilson stood at Paris, -with the difference that -the "Tiger" can still fight. His coming to America was undoubtedly an Inspiration. He talks like an inspired man. He is Inspiring.

He cuts through the nonessentials. And at bottom he is trying to get at the big heart of America. He speaks from his own heart and his voice rings true. He is a tremendous success and his personality and fame have given him an assured welcome. It would be a pity if his message were lost in the iJibbub.

Will Move to Deprive Defeated Senators of Vote Lynchburg, Nov. 22 Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, announced here that he had prepared for submission to the Senate a joint resolution proposing that menibets defeated at the recent elections abstain from voting on all but routine legislation and such legislation as does not involve any material change of National policy. The Senator said his resolution aluo would propose that heads and members of important committees resign from their respective bodies, and that their places be filled "by those who are known to be willing to carry into effect the mandate of the people, as expressed at the polls on Nov. 7." He declared his resolution would be "the meanest thing ever attempted in the Senate." Invited Last Marcji to Inspect and Approve Site, but Is "Too Busy" to Co. There is still no certainty that the East New York and Cypress Hills sections will have a soldiers war memorial.

Almost a year has passed since the Boro. President's office was called upon to approve4he site for the monument at Jamaica and Ridgewood aves. and Warwick st. The "Dawn of Glory" has not yet had a sculptor's chisel at work on it, for the simplo reason that the Municipal Art Commission must pass upon the artistic value of the work. Therefore, without Mr.

Riegelmann's approval of the site the sculptor must wait. It is estimated that it will take him more than six months to complets the work. Edward A. Richards, president of the East New York Savings Bank and chairman of the Memorial Committee, has time and again been in communication with the office of the Boro President. Residents declare that the Boro President alone is responsible for the delay.

The committee is Indignant. A letter was received by Mr. Richards from the Boro President today in which Mr. Riegelmann explained that he had made four or five attempts to get out to East New York and view the site, but was helfl up at the last minute by the pressure of other business. The Boro President was not at his office when inquiries were made today.

His secretary said that more important matters had made it impossible for Mr. Riegelmann to take the trip to East New York. He stated that the Board of Estimate calendar was holding up the approval of the site. Chairman Richards declared that It was last March when the Boro President, was asked to come, and that the citizens have been waiting for him ever since. CUNO COMPLETES GERMAN CABINET Only 7 Active Parliamentarians in New Ministry.

Berlin, Nov. 22 (By the Associated Press) The new German Cabinet has been constituted as follows: Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno. Vice Chancellor and Minister of Justice Dr. Carl Cheinze. Minister of Foreign Affairs Baron von Rosenberg.

Minister of the Interior Rudolph Oeser. Minister of Finance Andreas Hermes. Minister cf Economics Johannes Becker. i i i Minister of the Treasury Dr. Hein-rich Albert.

O. Gessler. Minister of Labor Dr. Heinrich Braun. Only seven active Parliamentarians are represented in the new Ministry, the Democrats supplying three, the Clericals 2 and the German People's party 2.

Herr von Rosenberg, Herr Stlnel and Herman Mueller are re garded as non-partisan, while the new Secretary pt tne tnancenery, r.auaru Hamm. who was Bavarian Minister of Commerce and Industry, is a Democratic member of the Reichstag. Dr. Albert, the Minister of the Treasun-, is a member of a group party, but is not active politically. LEAVES $700,000 TO FIND CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS Asheville.

N. C. Nov. 22 The will of the lato Dr. Karl von Ruck of Ashe ville, tuberculosis specialist, bequeathed approximately $700,000 for scientific research into the prevention and cure of tuberculosis, it was announcea roaay.

Dr. von Ruck died here Nov. 5. had a little more pull with Tammany Hall. Now Nicholson has the support of Surrogate-elect O'Brien, and that counts for something.

The Mayor likes him, too. He is a' good lawyer and has written most of the opinions on legal points asked for by the Board of Estimate. The salary of the Corporation Counsel is $15,000 a year. Who will get the Job of Assistant Mayor at $9,000 a year? Mayor Hylan has been asked this question a dozen times. His answer invariably is: "Don't ask me any questions." Once he went further than that.

A reporter for a Manhattan evening paper asked his honor if there was any basis for the rumor that he Intended to appoint Dock Commissioner John H. Delaney to the post of Assistant Mayor. "Don ask me any fool questions, the Mayor replied, angrily. The Assistant Mayor, too, is on tho list which Mr. Hylan is said to have taken with him to French Lick Springs to submit to Mr.

Murphy. And tho name opposite that position is said to be Grovor A. Whalen. But the list may be changed from top to bottom when Mayor Hylan gets back to the city. Nothing is mora insecure than a tentative appointment.

Meanwhile the Tammany faithful are watchfully waiting. The big Jobs carry in their train many little jobs that are big enough to keep the wolf from the door. panied by Commissioner Grover A. Whalen of the bepartment of Plant and Structures, he carried in his vest pocket, it was said today, a list of rtames a small but all important list which the Mayor intended to show to Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, whom he expected to meet at French Lick Springs.

This list, according to the same source of Information, contained the names of the men tentatively chosen by the Mayor for the jobs that are at his disposal as a result of the Democratic landslide two weeks ago which made Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien Surrogate of New York County. Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland al United States Senator. Commissioner 'of Corrections James A.

Hamilton Secretary of State, Assistant corporation Counsel William B. Cars well a Supreme Court Justice, and Magistrate Charles J. Dodd District Attorney of Kings Countv. Besides these Mayor Hylan has two orner important positions in his gift. The election of Justice Cornelius P.

Collins as Judge of General Sessions will leave a vacancy in the Children's court, while a new Magistrate will have to be appointed to take the place of John A. McGeehan who was elected City Court Justice. Last, but not least, there is the new position of Assistant Mayor, created by the Board of Estimate th request of Mr. Hylan, who, according to his own words, has found the burden of the Mayoralty too heavy for one puir or shoulders to carry. According to The Eagle's informant, it is not at all strange that Mayor Hylan should want the O.

K. of the Tammany Chief on all- of these prospective appointments before announcing them. Said he: "In 1924 Mayor Hylan will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination of Governor." At a meeting of the Board of Estimate just before election. Mayor Hylan took occasion to remark: "I may be candidate for Governor two years from now," and he beamed when a part of the audience boisterously applauded the announcement. The names on the above list are known only to a few of the Mayor's intimates.

John H. McCooey knows who the Brooklyn men on that list are for' their names were not written down by Mr. Hylan until after consultation with the leader of the Democratic organization on this side of the river. Three Brooklyn appointments are to be made, namely, that of Health Commissioner, Assistant Corporation Coun- sel in charge of Brooklyn, and a Magistrate to take the place of Judge Dodd. For a while Mayor Hylan was undecided, it Is said, whether to appoint Dr.

Frank J. Monaghan, now first Deputy Health Commissioner, or Dr. John H. Ferguson of the Board of Education, to the Health Commls-sionership upon the retirement of Dr Copeland. Both are his friends.

Dr. Monaghan had been the Mayor's family physician long before he was appointed a Deputy Health Commissioner. The Mayor finally made up his mind, it is understood, to appoint Dr. Monaghan because of tho latter's familiarity with the work of Health Department and also because the appointment of an outsider would have looked as if Dr. Monaghan lacked the ability to fill the higher position.

The salary for this office has een raised by the Board of Estimate from $7,600 to $10,000 a year for "the new Incumbent," as was also the salary of the new Commissioner of the Department of Correction. Under the charter the Board cannot increase the salaries of heads of city departments while they are in office. Who the now Assistant Corporation Counsel in charge of Brooklyn will be is not known. There are a dozen candidates for the place among the assistant corporation counsels who re. side in this boro and are members of the McCooey organization.

Mr. McCooey, of course, knows the name put down opposite this office on the Mayor's list, but he is not likely to mention it until the Mayor gets back from his vacation. This position, like that of the head of the citys law department, is looked upon as a stepping stone to high Judicial honors of which an example has just been given by the election of Corporation Counsel O'Brien to a Surrogateshlp and the election of Mr. Carswell to the Supreme Court Bench, McCooey to Pick odd's Successor. McCooey had the naming of the successor of Magistrate Dodd.

There were at least a score of candidates for this post, and the Mayor was overwhelmed with letters of recommendation for this, that and the other candidate, but he left the selection of the right man entirely to the leader of the Democratic organization of Brooklyn, it is said. Tho identity of the lucky candidate is anybody's guess, until McCooey makes It public. Inasmuch as no rival has thus far appeared to contest with first Assistant Corporation Counsel George P. Nicholson his candidaoy for the position of Corporation Counsel, the biggest of all the Juicy plums at the disposal of Mayor Hyland. it is taken for granted that he heads -the MayflT's list.

Mr. N'lcholson came within a hair of obtaining the Job when Corporation Counsel Burr, the first head of the Law. Department under the regime of Mayor Hylan, was promoted to the Supreme Court Bench. O'Brien got the place because he II. S.

TO STAND iff IN CRISIS In Remarkable Speech to Great Audience the Tiger Urges America to "Take Care." Georges Clemenceau, "Pere do. vic-toire." co-author of the Allied peace and self-appointed Ambassador Iraordinary to the United States, delivered' his message to the American people at the Metropolitan Opera House last night. a remarkable speech, lasting an hour and a half and mingling Vie famous Clemtnceau humor, sarcasm, passion, pathos and the most earnest eloquence, he pleaded the cause of France. He. warned that Germany is again preparing for war, and urged America to "take care." He appealed to America to stand by France today as she stood by her during the war.

He declared that our isolation is an illusion, and reiterated that we cannot stand aloof from the rest of the world. He charged that America had helped win the war. had drawn the terms of peace and then "gone away," leaving France alone. With the skill of a lawyer, he pointed out that the demand for reparations against Germany for damages was plainly made in the armistice terms, which we signed and that these terms had not been carried out. Finally, he pleaded with America to find some way to "renew the conversations" with the Allies and show Germany that we still stand with the nations that won the war, as we will have to do "sootier or later." The Metropolitan was jammed to capacity by a notable audience that was compelled to force its way through the crowds of people that had gathered around every entrance, inspired by the vain, hope of gaining access to -the auditorium.

The mammoth stage was also filled with distinguished guests and members of the Council of Foreign Relations, under whose auspices the meeting was held. The proscenium and boxes of the diamond horseshoe, were decorated with alternating groupings of American and French flags, giving a gala touch to the brilliant scene, which eclipsed the most impressive first nights of the opera. The first outburst of applause was a greeting to General Pershing, who ap-" peared on the stage in uniform and took his seat near the center. It was General Pershing, too, who was first recognized and greeted by Clemen-ceau, when he entered from the left, nt exactly 8:30, with John W. Davis, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who presided and made a brief introductory address.

An avalanche of applause greeted "The Tiger" when he appeared, the volumes of clapping cascading from the uppermost galleries and breaking at his feet only to be sent revibrating through the house by the sound amplifiers that had been installed before the trench of low palms and crysan-themums that hedged the speaker's place. It was not the grisly "Tiger" that stepped into this advanced trench when Mr. Davis introduced him. Instead, the audience saw an elderly gentleman, Immaculately dressed in the most approved New York man- Tier, perfectly groomed, and with a healthy, almost ruddy, glow in his face. For some moments it was impossible to believe that this was the fearless almost ferocious Clemenceau.

He appeared to be somewhat frightened, and there was at first a distinct trace of anxiety and timidity. It was not until he began to speak that the Clemenceau of tradition began to emerge. Wins Audience at Start. With unerring: instinct and humor, Clemenceau began his address with a pointed story which won his audience. Then followed an impiBh -cod rambling explanation of his mission to America, which seemed to delight the speaker as much as the audience.

He told of coming to America "only no more than 67 years asro. fresh from the imperial jails of Napoleon HI." and contrasted his present visit with his first, with many flashes of quaint wit. It was this diverting approach that Clemenceau became serious and poured his soul into hjs simple story of how he had been impelled to come to America to clear up the misunderstanding of France that had grown up here. He was troubled, ho said, and felt he had better come "to see what was the matter." He paid a fine tribute to General Pershing, spoke of the "beautiful quarrels" they had had, and recalled the long romance between America and France ending, in the great adventure in the war. "I have no intention of making a speech or a lecture or any such thing as that.

You may see it. I simply talk. I want to talk. I want to explain what have been my thoughts for three years. I have been away from any act of the government.

I have spent all that time in a quiet place which I lory, thinking, thinking of you very often, thinking of France above all, and now I bring my thoughts to you for some adjustment between us both. I hope. I am not sure. "We have been in the midst of a great crisis. I say the greatest crisis in events because none of us can tell how long this crisis is going to last, and whether it won't grow at some time worse than it is now.

Why should peace be so hard to live? Why cannot we find common means lor preserving peace? "Now, I don't come to America to abuse the Germans or anybody. r-cim charged with militarism, but I believe I have a right to bring the facta before you, and it Is a fact that Belgium was violated by one of. those who had guaranteed its safety. That is not very encouraging for the future, and those who ask me to make arrangements with Germany. I make answer to them, 'What is worth that 'What is worth that There may be some bankers among you here.

Suppose a man fails to pay his check. Would you be willing to trust him for another? It is not likely." The Armistice. After reciting some of the events leading up to the war and the part of America in. the war, Mr. Clemenceau said: "We came to the armistice.

Here I want some of your attention, because it is a very Important point, and in fact something like the foundation of my reasoning. I have heard a many things about the Armistice. The facts are very plain. The is that the United States had a very i-'i nf ral and noble idea, an idea that before the war was over we should 1 1 what we had made war for and what we want-rt, so that nobody could attempt after the war was over to ask for more than it thought of And President Wilson came with his commission. So we all discussed and we all agreed about the Fourteen Poind, which have become to well known and from that time the world, the Germans, everyone knw that on such conditions we would make peace.

Ko that whn the Germans said, we jjgree on the Fourteen Points, we meant exactly the Fourteen Points, we had no choice but to accept the Armistice that was proposed: the whole world would ari.se against us if we did not accept It." The mention of President Wilson brought forth the greatest applauhe CLEMENC AU ASKS Ry CLEVELAND RODGEKS. Has America been deceived as to that extraordinary personage, Georges Clemenceau? Are there two Clemen-ceaus, one who is the terror of Europe and another who goes visiting? Or there a new Clemenceau, born of the three quiet years of reflection since the great days when he held the destiny of Europe in his gloved hands? These questions were posed when Clemenceau made- his first formal appearance before an American audience last night. Certainly no one in the vast audience that greeted him would have recognized the little man as the world figure who has been so often depicted for uji and who bears the sobriquet of "Tiger." The title is a misfit, if we to judge the man as he revealed himself on this occasion. We strongly suspect that Clemenceau was first called "Tiger" by a person who would have called him "catty" If he had been a woman. If he drew this characterization from a French politician it is understandable, and since fear is foreign to both tigers and Clemenceau, it is not strange the nickname stuck.

But it is a libel, for all that, and a severe penalty. If one must go to the zoo to find a name for a man unafraid, wa are indeed in a bad way. Clemenceau is all man. There is a strong trace of the Neaderlander In him, to be sure, but it is something that must be preserved if the race is to persist. Clemenceau is adrip with human Juices, as Mencken said of Babbitt.

He is kindly, lovable and very wise. He knows the human comedy, for he is himKolf a comedian In his way. He knows that comedy, to be successful, must be player seriously, that Is all. And he has purpose, which makes his faults more obvious to people without purpo3e. Popular Entertainer.

For 20 minutes last night he was an after-dinner speaker, a popular entertainer. He made himself that, because bo had something qf importance to say later on. WTe had something of a Clemenceau in Roosevelt. The same elemental force and self-confidence. The same irascibility.

But Clemenceau has a sense of humor, and he is old. Individuality means degree of development. Clemenceau is ripe with experience. He is unique in that his faculties were fully developed before they were preserved. Every man's fetish is himself, as Clemenceau says in one of his stories.

He has created a super-fetish by sublimating himself into an embodiment of France. He says he speaks only for himself, yet he calmly announces that if America will give htm guarantees he will "dissolve" the French Army! That isn't egoism in the ordinary sense. It is the key to Clemenceau. He has dramatized France and. given himself the leading role.

He has been playing it for some time, and magnificently. of the evening. After it had subsided, the speaker continued: "So the Armistice was in fact automatic. The most remarkable point about it is this: that it was an American Idea that had brought President Wilson to act as he did and the American idea entered into the practice as the war was over, and our conditions were accepted by the Germans, and thence we began to see the thing that is not being considered at all in this nuntrv mi for Hi I know, that the war was yours as well as ours. But make up your mma mat in ine Armistice, in the treaty and all that followed there was a great share of n-nrV TJ-nr Instance, in the Armistice there Was a line saying reparations damages, repu.no.

mcio was also a line in the Fourteen Points. There was a line in the Armistice that was placed in the conditions or peace that I would not accept, and Colonel House agreed with me. In tho Armistice the damages were to be paid, and Wfl.nn said If that kind of i oHniiwil wa will em on. U. pectus a iivfi a.ot,.v.v.

did not ask them to be executed, but I asked that they Degin to lie execuieu. If we had known that for three years the thing that was guaranteed to us was not coming to us we would have gone to Berlin!" This also brought forth thunderous applause. At this point tne i lger neeniEu discover Padercwski in one or tne i hv Colonel House, and his party, and turned to him dramat ically and asKea mm iu in what he said. M. Clemenceau then iit tVmt America had not merely helped to defeat the Germans.

We had been largely responsible, for creating a new Europe, and he asked feelingly if the millions in Europe were to be liberated for a day or for a year? These people, he said, looked to France and America to save them from falling back. "You brought it. my friends. That's another one of those great debts that I owe your country, and that everybody owes you. And I ask.

can a people be grand one day and small and mean another?" His Final Plea. M. Clemenceau's final plea was that America find some way to re-jstablish trust in Europe, to "renew conversations," and to help give France those guarantees of safety that she needs. He refuted the charge that France Is militaristic or imperialistic, and referred to the fact that we asked guarantees when we signed the Washington Conference treaties. He solemnly warned that Germany is preparing for new wars and is now ranging herself with the Turks and Russia in a new alliance.

At the conclusion, "The Tiger" seemed as fresh as when he started. He had ignored any notes he had prepared. He frequently referred to data in his pocket, but never produced it. And throughout he held his vast audl-onfo Hnlv once wnn he interrnnted by a call from the gallery, but the heckler was quicKiy suppressed amia 'tnf Vilnrt nut'" Thrniifh it all Clemenceau remained unruffled and held an lntormai reception on me stage after the conclusion of his oration.

PADDOCK ADVISES TENTH OF A SECOND TIMING WATCHES Disappointed at Rejection of His Records by A.

A. Timers Were Accurate. Los Angeles, Nov. 22 Charles W. Paddock of Pasadena, in a statement published today by the Los Angeles Times, told of his disappointment at the failure of the A.

A. U. ot ficials to acept five sprinting records credited to him, after a track meet at Santa Barbara. July 4 last, and suggested the need of new stop watches to register in tenth of seconds rather than In fifths. "I honestly believe I made the records and that the timing was as accurate as could be done with the ordinary fifth of a second stop watch," said Paddock.

"The average itop watch hand," he continued, "doen not necessarily stop on the exact fifth, but may be Just a hair over or under the exact fifth. This is what gives rise to the frequent statement that and so ran a slow ten in other words, So and So Is just enough slower than ten seconis flat so that the. hand shows a hair slower than an even ten seconds, but not far enough over to call It 10 1-5. "In the same manner, there are lots of sprinters who have consistently shaded ten Beconds for the 100, but never have been credited with 9 4-5 for the reason the hand stopped at a point nearer the ten-second mark than the 9 4-5."

While returning to inn TINY SHELTER ISLAND CHURCH BEATS QUOTA IN CATHOLIC DRIVE Returns from the Long Island parishes in tho $2,000,000 drive being conducted by tho Rt.

Rev. Bishop Thomas E. Molloy, D.D., for three Catholic free high schools for the Brooklyn diocese Indicated today that the quotas of the respective churches on the Island will be largely oversubscribed. Among the surprises in the reports today is the contribution sent in from ihe Church of Our Lady of the Isle, Shelter Island, amounting to $600, which is $100 over its quota. Accompanying the check was a note from the Rev.

Paris, Nov. 22 (By tho Associated Press) Tho women of France will keep on fighting for the suffrage, in spite of the action of the Senate yesterday in sidetracking a vote on the question indefinitely, leaders of the suffrage movement declared today. "Wo will never say die," exclaimed Madame de Witt-Schlumberger, president of the French Suffrage Association.

"Tho battle Is not lost in France, nor even in the prepent parliament. It will be won here, as in every other civilized country." The vote of the Senate not to proceed to consideration of the separate articles of the bill was the parlia mentary way of putting the measure on the shelf. The measure originated in the Chamber of Deputies and was adopted there two years ago, and through the suffrage sympathizers in the chamber, headed by Justin God-art, the women hope to induce the deputies again to send the bill to the Senate and bring other pressure to bear.
