Nr York. Jan. 17. In ,the nar-
4 row street of tils birth Theodore
Iloosevelt lived again Thursday for
j a little hour. . 1 ;
?. A flae bellying down , the west
wind, voices from other countries
lifted in praise, eyes dimming when
the band played the. "Star .Spangled
J Banner" and- through It all a senss
J of high hearted, presence beloved of
America In years that are gone.
Such was thte laying or Uie corner
stone of what perhaps wrtl be the great-
i est monument the world will know to
the memory of Colonel Roosevelt
f Koosevelt House, for" the promotion or
L American iHm. ' ' ,
1 , Several hundred men and women gath
f ered before the nqw vacant building at
'I 2 East Twentieth street, where Once
stood the house where Colonel Roose-
velt was born fn 1858 and where he
lived until he was 13 i-ears old.
J Toward Broacnay fa a vacant place,
a crevice . in canyons . of brick walls,
Is where a second building has been torn
away, and here the speaker's stand was
erected. i-
V jr!SSERAM SPEAK? .
'i From here the ceremony was conduct-;
.ed by members of the Women's Koose-
- velt Memorial association, the organiza--j
tlon raising funds and shouldering all
responsibility of making possible the
Americanization center It is composed
I of some, of the most prominent women:
Sj- in the country and is officered by Mrs.
P'ljeonard Wood as honorary 'president,
V Mrs. John Henry Hammond president,
Mrs.. Charles A. Bryan secretary and"
Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn treasurer.
The speakers were Jean Jules Jusser-
and, the French arrlhassador, who told
Ik: something of the esteem in which his
country, holds the memory of the former
-president, and Mrs. Douglas Robinson,;
hoi spoke on "Memories of My Broth-1
ers -Boyhood Home." . ; "
Little enough of that, home now ra
il mains, as Mrs. Robinson saw. it in reeol-
4 lections. Across the Btreet and on either
side are lofts and wholesale houses
storing and selling yarns, curtains and
fabrics. Rising all round like hills about
t valley are stark walls of skyscrapers ;
" toward the north the Metropolitan tower
3 is thrust. I'ke an inquisitive finger into
the clouds. 1
Y 4XIi DETAILS TO BE RESTORED
Tjone are the tiny board dooryarda,
the ivy vines and trees under which the
RooseVelt children played more than 50
e years' ago. - ,
5 But' according to the plans of the me
morial association the house in which
Colonel Roosevelt Sitnt his early years
Swill, be restored outside- and as nearly
aa possible in every detail as he' would

Even the hair cloth chairs which
scratched the legs of the Roosevelt chii-
4 drfS when they gathered round the din
: tngroom table will toe put baek. .
te An Innovation, however, will be " the

minated today - in ahouncement of

artistic director of the- company.
Marinuzzi - will remain as chief of

post of maestro! , - I 5
Reeeitt ! reports have .declared that
there has been much friction in the

between Italian 'members and singers
of other nationalities. . It was charged
that certain members of the company
manifested a decidedly unfriendly at
titude toward Charles Marshall, Amer
ican tenor, whopa recent debut was the
sensation of the . local season.
1 In announcing his resignation, Mari
nuzzi declared the work of his dual
position as artistic director and chief
of- conductors was too havy and that
he desired to relinquish the former
position.
"I -cannot stand the wrangling of the
stars any longen" he said. "They' have
given me nothinjg but sleepless nights."
Directors of .the opera company have
noj accepted Marinuzzi's resignation,
but have the matter under advisement.
