Berlin. March "a prisoner in the
Ploetzensee Prison, named George
Schlick, has made various attempts to
force the prison authorities to discharge
him. or at any rate remove him to the
hospitl ward. He at first simulated in
sanity, and when this failed to deceive
the authorities he started a hunger
strike. He Is a powerfuly-buit man, how
ever, with a great appetite, and the
pangs of hunger finally conquered his
resolution.
He then adopted a new scheme. While
making bags in prison he carefully con-
cealed as many needles as he could, and
while at work with his fellow prisoners,
he swallowed the lot. He was hurried
to the hospital, where he became uncon-
scious. Afterwards he was removed to
Berlin hospital, where he is to be
operated upon. The man lies in a critical
condition.

Women Are Drifting
To Double Standard,
DR.. White Declares

A spirit of rebellion against para
sitism was the explanation given for
the rapid spread of the feminist
movement by DR.. John E. White in
his morning sermon Sunday at the
Second Baptist Church.
DIR. White said women had become
dissatisfied with the social conditions
which made them little more than de-
pendents on their husbands and gave
them no activities or opportunities
for self development outside the walls
of their own homes.
A significant statement was that
the equality of rights, which he be-
lieved surely in prospect, undOubted-
ly would bring man and woman to
the same level and would establish a
single standard of morals for the two
sexes. Either the man would rise to
the higher plane upon which woman
exists or woman would sink to mans
level
He regretted that the present ten
dency appeared toward the adoption
of mans code of morals by the wom-
en-.
He thought, however, that this con-
dition was temporary and that man
would bring himself to her level.

four women took the Civil Service
tests in this city for street cleaning

ing how they would clean the streets
Of the municipality and what they
thought was the most needed thing
to improve the condition of the
streets.
They were required among other
things to describe the most approved
apparatus for the cleaning OF the
streets. They were asked the differ
ence between some of the various
kinds of machines, their purposes and
the practical operation, the relation of
the street cleaner to the community,
the reasons for the excessive litter in
certain sections and the value of
moral suasion when applied in the
proper places.

500 Employees of Southern Bell

The back to the country craze

Mr. Shepard only realized that he

/. NINE. RAPPOLD' s
ROMANCE IS
REVEALED
Prima Donna, to Wed Tenor Ber-
ger, Waited Long for Free
dom, She Says.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Mme. Marie
Rappold, of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. has told the story of her
romance which is to eliminate in her
marriage this week to Rudolph Ber-
ger, the tenor.
She discussed the wedding prepa-
rations and told of the great happi-
ness which had come to her after
eight years of waiting to gain her
freedom and the right to marry the
man who had won her heart.
The wedding will take place at
Long Branch. N. J., in the home of a
friend Of the prima donna It was to
have taken place last week, but Mr..
Berger was commanded by the Kali
ser to remain in Germany during the
fest performances.
Long, Weary, Hard Wait"
No one but the Kaiser could have
prevailed upon my fance TO postpone
our wedding any longer" said Nine.
Rappold as she smiled.
TT has been a long, weary, hard
wait. and never a moment has our
love wavered," added the beautiful
singer, who recently obtained a West
ern divorce from DR.. Julius RappoId.
In fact, the five weeks we spent to-
gether abroad two months ago were
the happiest of my life, and we both
felt that we deserved our complete
happiness, which, after all, Is in
marriage. 1t surely has been a ro-
nance stranger than fiction in many
ways.
Eight years ago I signed a con-
tract with Mr.. Conried, who felt that
he had found in me a great Wag-
merriam singer. / vent at his advice
to Bayreuth to study German opera.
I reached Bayreuth during the night,
and in the morning / went for a
drive
Loved Him at First Sight.
THE very first man 1 saw was
Rudolph Berger. It was extraor-
binary, for from that instant we
were in love-genuinely, beautifully,
earnestly in love wasted no time
in telling my husband of my new
found happiness. We had already
found our lives uncongenial, and my
life was empty, save in the love /
had from my little daughter Lillian.
Il soon found that while Mr.. Berger
was known as a baritone, his voice
really was tenor. He took my advice
and came to New York in 1906, spent
year taking instructions from my
teacher, Oscar Sanger, and developed,
as l knew he would, into perhaps the
greatest Wagnerian tenor in the
world"
