WASHINGTON. I). C ?A "trust"
in brain*, one of the incorporators of
which is President Roosevelt. is con
templated in two bills which have
just been introduced by Senator
lAxl?;e. of Massachusetts, who is him
self named as another of the incorpo
rators.
The bills are respectively entitled
a bill Incorporating the National
Academy of Arts and Letters." and
' \ bill incorporating tbe National In
stitute of Arts and Letters."
To Be Close Corporation.
The "academy" is to be a close
corporation, something like the "Im
mortals" of France, for it is not to
consist of more than fifty members.
The "Institute." however, is to be on
a more liberal plan, with a member
ship extending to 2.10.
The bills name forty-six of the
members of the prospective "aca
demy.'" thus leaving only four possi
ble vacancies, and _M I out of the -?"><*
members of the proposed "institute.**
leaving only nineteen vacancies to
be filled. It is also noted that the
fifty "academicians" are also named
as incorporators of the "institute." Itj
sounds almost like Harriman electing
himself and his associates to tlu> di
rectorates of constituent companies.
Objects of Societies.
The obJe< ts of both the academy
and the institute are the same, when
called upon by any department ot 1 1. - ?
government to investigate, examine
' and report upon any subject of ar.ts
and letters. Tlw expenses of su< !.
investigations may be paid from ap
propriations made for the purpose,
but neither the members of academy
or institute arc to receive compensa
tion for services to the I'nlied States
government.
Both institutions are to be author
teed to receive bequests and dona
' tions and hold the same in trust, to
be applied in aid of in\ estimations in
art and literature, and according to
the will of the donors.
RELIABLE ALL THE TIME.
I The Pack Train Restaurant will
