Dedication of Memorial to Philanthropist and His Wife Tomorrow
---
The Isidor and Ida Straus Memorial in Straus Park will be dedicated tomorrow afternoon with impressive ceremonies. The beautiful granite and bronze fountain, which form [sic] the memorial, stand on a line with 106th Street the northern boundary of the Park formed where Broadway crosses West End Avenue. For many years this square, was known as Bloomingdale Park. After the Titanic disaster, in which Mr. and Mrs. Straus lost their lives, the Board of Aldermen changed the name to Straus Park.

Cyrus Adler, Karl Bitter, John H. Finley, Samuel Greenbaum, Adolph Lewisohn, Seth Low, Louis Marshall, William G. McAdoo, Adolph S. Ochs, George Foster Peabody, Herman Sieleken, William A. Simonson, Louis Stern, Charles B. Stover, Felix M. Warburg, Cabot Ward, C. B. Webster, Jacob H. Schiff, ex-officio.

The ceremonies will begin at 4:30 o'clock and addresses will be made by Mayor Mitchel, ex-Mayor Seth Low, Cabot Ward, Commissioner of Parks, and Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum, who will preside. If the weather should prove inclement the exercises will take place in Public School 54 at the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and 104th Street.
