is He The WRONG MAN ?
One of the Fulda's Passengers
Arrested for an Alb
sconding Baron.

When the North German Lloyd steam
ship Fulda was sighted off Sandy Hook
yesterday. Baron John de Nyirf, secre-
tary of Baron Franz S~tockinger, the
Austrian Consul General boarded a rev.
enue cutter and went down the Bay to
meet the vessel. His mission was to as
certain if an alleged embezzler, Baron
Valentine Unterrichter was on board.
The Baron is accused of having swindled
over a dozen banks in Austria for
amounts a-ggregating $4,000 or $4,000.
Nothing was done until the Fulda tied
up at her wharf in Hoboken, when a
man who was listed on the passenger
list as Edward Gruen, was informed by
the immigration officers that he was to be
detained. Baron de Nyiri was sure that
the culprit was travelling 1ncognito and
said Gruen answered his description ex-
actly. The latter protested thai he was
no embezZler and exhibited as proof a
passport which read:-sEdward Gruen
was born in Znaim, Austria; is a subject
Of the Kingdom of Wurtemburg, and
this is given him for the pur-
pose of Identification.
First Officer Yehrke of the Fulda is of
the opinion that the authorities have de-
tanned the wrong man. Gruen will be
taken before Commissioner Fitchie in the
Barge Office this afternoon.

SHE HEADS A GoOD PROJECT
The Movement to Provide Fairgrounds
For Chicago's Poor Children.

The Movement to Provide Fairgrounds
For Chicago's Poor Children.
Chicago children are to have play
grounds maintained by the city. Dur
ing the summer months, when there
are no schools to keep the children Of
the poorer districts off the streets and
out of mischief, they are to be allowed
to play in certain schoolyards, where
they can romp and run and swing and
fro1io to their hearts content.
This plan of keeping the children ont
of harms way was thought out and
brought to its successful end by tho
members Of the vacation schools com
mittee Of the women s clubs of Chicago.
They have been at the project only a
short time, but their efforts have been
highly successful. The aldermen have
voted an appropriation for the project,
and it will be tried for the first time
this sunmer. Members of the schoo,
board have agreed to allow the commit

Mr.. Louis Uhl of Greenville ave a beef
steak dinner to his friends last evening
at his home on Old Bergen Road and
Danforth avenue. The room in which the
tables were set presented a beautiful APP
pearance. Hung from the ceiling and
stretched the full length of the room was
an enormous American flag. while several
smaller flags were draped from the walls.
Along the side of the large flag was a
code of signal flags, showing the words
Remember the Maine" Potted plants
and ferns were scattered in every avail
able nook and corner, adding very much
to the beauty of the scene. AT least
fifty people were seated around the tables,
and while the orchestra played such in
spring airs as America Yankee Doc
die and sAThe Star-Spangled Banner"
the guests disposed of the excellent re-
past. The steak was very fine and all
present did justice to it.
Right in the midst of the inner the or

joined in singing the piece. The enthu-

the close of the singing Mr.. Edward
Barr, who was recently appointed an AS

tee to use the schoolyards in the dis
tricts where they propose to put the
plan into operation, and there seems to
be no opposition to the project any
where.
The plan is to use the appropriation
just so far as it will go in fitting out
each yard with simple articles and ap-
planes for the use of the children, be-
ginning in the most congested portions
Of the city. No one section will be IA
vored over any other. In each yard
there will be a sand pile for the little
children to play in, blocks for their ju-
venile building operations, wooden sta
tionary swings and simple gymnastio
apparatus. Then there will be an avn
ing at the shady end, if there is any
shade. where mothers can come with
their babies for a few hours each day
away from the hurly burly Of the crowd
ed streets. For each playground there
will be a young man as custodian, who
will be there to teach the boys how to
play ball, pull away, prisoners base
and other pastimes. To give the boys
taste for these innocent games and take
their attention from initiating the po-
lice patrol, playing robber and arresting
each other and engaging in other too
realistic sports will be n OF the prin-
cipal objects of the work. In short, the
committee intends to supply the need
of public Fairgrounds which will
swer the purpose of. the small parks,
which the real estate board wishes to
have distributed all over the city, until
those breathing spaces are established
Miss Sadie American, chairman of
the committee, who has been most in
strumental in furthering the project,
said last evening: we are trying to aid
the work of improving the morals of
Chicago, and we are beginning with the
children in the worst parts OF the city.
By putting in this system of play
grounds we hope to do considerable good
in keeping the children off the streets
and SO lessen the amount of crime. In
summer there is much more crime
among the children than at any other
time of the year, because they are then
free from the restraining Influences Of
school life. For instance, in the Max
we'll street district it is said that Juvenile
crime increases so per cent in sum
mer over the other seasons Of the year.
Owners Of lots will not allow them to
play there, and policemen will not let
them play ball on the streets. SO be-
tween the two they have q hard time Of
1t. The parks are too far away for them
to go there, and they must have some
place to play. We are not trying any
new experiment. This plan has been
tried in Philadelphia and other cities
and has been a success from tho start
