BEAUTY BESIEGES BRADY
Manager Picks 400 for Cast
of Great Melodrama.

Young ladies and gentlemen of dis
tinction-four hundred of them-re-
sponded yesterday to William A.
Brady's call for figurantes for his new
melodrama, Life" wherein the inner
most recesses of society will be eX-
plotted for the benefit of the great
American public. The mobilization
took place at the Manhattan Opera
House at noon, and a string of the
distinguished trailed from the second
floor far out into 34th st.
The distinction was Of all kinds,
and Mr.. Brady tested it remorselessly,
plucking the sheep from the goats and
waving the latter back into the street.
Beauty of itself could not prevail, and
many a small Adonis stood Gisconso-
late on the sidewalk; ay, and tall fell
lows who might at a block be mis-
taken for Louvain gargoyles passed
muster.
The feminine distinction was so
evenly matched-patterned so closely
on the same general order-that 1t
took the utmost discrimination to pick
and choose. So similar was the
beauty presented that one might have
concluded it formed in one same pur-
suit or profession; but here again Mr..
Brady rose to the occasion. ThI small
were cast out. No great melodrama
with nineteen scenes, eighty-two
speaking parts and four hundred peo-
pie on the stage could lie run off by q
string of Liliputians.

MRS. WILSON'S WISH TRUE
House Passes slums Bill Dear
to Late First Lady's Heart.
tTrUm The tribune Burau.l

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE bill to
reclaim the alleys and slums Of Wash
ington, movement to which Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson gave impetus from
the time she took up her residence
here, was passed by the House to-day
practically without opposition. A bill
similar in its provisions was passed
by the Senate on the day Mrs. Wilson
died, and differences between the two
measures will be adjusted in confer
enee.
Upon several occasions prior to her
illness Mrs. Wilson visited the alleys
Of this city. IL was largely because
of her interest that the commissioners
prepared bill for their gradual elm
instion by condemnation Of the I'M
sanitary buildings therein. When on
her desthbed Mrs. Wilson expressed
the hope that the bill would pass, and
prompt action by the Senate and q
favorable report on the House bill
cheered her dying moments.

WOMEN OF WORLD
APPEAL TO WILSON
Mrs. Gait Bears Messages from
Many Lands Urging PreSi-
dent to End War.

Armed with many cable messages and
letters from women of Europe calling
on America to end the war and carry
ing with them a petition outlining a
plan of mediation, Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the Information
al Woman Suffrage Alliance, and Mrs.
Rosika Schwimmer. its secretary, left
here yesterday for Washington, where
at 10 O'Clock this morning they will see
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
The cable messages and letters, Mrs.
Gait said, showed a pathetic faith in
Americas power to bring peace. They
have been so urgent and so many, and
have called on Mrs. Gait so definitely
to go to Pres dent Wilson, that whether
or not she would have chosen to go
they simply forced her hand"
Mrs. Schwimmer, who recently came
from Europe, said she was full of hope
that their errand would accomplish
something. "If we did not hope we
would not 60" she said. Mrs. Schw inn
mer, by the way, is not married, but
when she reached the age of thirty-tye
one year ago, she took the title OF
Mrs" because she believed hat every
mature woman had the right to it.
The plan which Mrs. Gait and Mrs
Schwimmer will present for the Presi,
dents consideration is for court Ci
arbitration, composed OF representa-
tives Of the neutral nations, to be es'
tablished, preferably in Norway. inns
court would invite each of the war
ring nations to communicate to it any
Willingness it might feel to consider
the laying down of arms, and the court
would hold the communication conf
Dental until the time came to arbi-
trate, or as long as the nation in ques'
ton desired.

Women are being appointed to a

RAILROADS TO ASK
RATE REHEARING
Depression in Business Due to
War Makes Advance Impera-
tive, They Say.

Washington. Sept. 14.-Contending
that they face unprecedented condi-
tiOns. aggravated by the European war,
the Eastern railroads have informally
notified the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of their intention to ask for
reopening Of the advance rate case,
in which a petition for general in
crease of per cent IN freight rates
was denied.
Commissioner Clark told of the in
formal notice that had been given by
the railroads after a meeting late to-
day with President Willard, of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
Mr.. Willard is chairman of the COM
mittee of Eastern railroad men. He
was in conference to-day with q large
committee of railroad executives, in
Guiding Vice-Presidents Daley, OF the
New York Central; Randolph, Of rthe
Baltimore & Ohio; Dickson, OF the
Pennsylvania; Brownell, of the Erie;
General Solicitor Patterson, of the
Pennsylvania, and Assistant General
Solicitor Butterfeld, of the New York
Central.
Further hearing of the rate case
would be asked, it was said, to show
that extraordinary conditions have
arisen since July, when5 the Commits
sion reached its decision. The roads
contend that their showing for the
fiscal year 1914 is worse than had
been estimated, and that that condi-
ton now has been aggravated by the
effect of the European war on freight
business in the United States.
Whether the roads west of Buffalo
and Pittsburgh, which were granted
increases in the advance rate decision
would ask for further relief has not
been indicated.

MARDT CRAS JOY
BLOOMS AT COMFY
Thousands Greet frost
Flower" Gayety of De-
parting Season.

The New York branch of the Euro.
pean war opened up at Coney Island
last night for weeks business. In the
advertisements it goes b. the title Of
Msrdi Grai, which--so q young man
named Monroe expiained--is an abbre-
Walton Of joy. So far as q diiigent Or
server could discover in the chill night,
there was no abbreviatiOn Of Joy at the
celebrated beach.
Through the kindess of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, several thousand tons of
folk from here and there were enabled
to join Franklin P. Mardi Gras and the
whole Gras family in concentrating
the composition, one hundred years ago
yesterday, of "The Star-SpSnRled Ban
ner." The drop in temperature didn't
seem to freeze the spirits of those who
went down to Coney to make merry, as
they say in the subway.
The committee in charge Of the
patriotic affair thought the weather
would cut into the attendance, but it
didn't, and everybody on hand saw a
fine lot of floats and heard plenty Of
music.
In the parade were companies from
the battleships Wyoming and Utah,
now in these waters; Boy Scouts, Red
Cross nurses and several made-up
young men carrying imitation lamp
posts and assumed jags. They played
the part of brandy floats.
In all there were ten fOats-"The
Star-Spangled Banner" "The Landing
Of COLUMBUS" "The Boston Tea Party"
Washington Crossing the Delaware"
"The Declaration of independence,
"The Birth of the Flag" "The Enamel
patton" 1.-THE Blue and the Gray"
president Wilson's Neutrality Procla-
nation" "Peace" and "Coney Island"
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit had a
band of sixty men whose instruments,
nickel plated, flashed back brilliantly
the illumination from the thousands Of
electric lights.
This year the king and queen have
been dispensed with, and, as usual,
ticklers and fuzzy dogs are prohibited.
But there was enough confetti to con-
tribute to the unhappiness of every
person who got some down his or her
collar. However, the crowd was re-
markedly orderly for such an occasion
at least during the early hours
so the 500 policemen detailed specially
for the beach this week, didn't have
much work to do.
The celebration was started in the
afternoon at Luna. Lewis NJ. Potter,
president Of the Coney Island Carnival
Company, made an address and dele
CATION of G. A. r. veterans raised the
flag, which was saluted by twenty-one
guns. A corps of school children also
saluted the colors and sang. Repre-
sentative Daniel ]. Griffin delivered q
speech about the flag.
In the evening the committee and
their guests held dinner at Felt
mans.
Tonight the Volunteer Life Guards
will be the feature.
The beginning of Mardi Gras week
at Coney Island is generally incidental
to the closing of most outdoor sports.
One of the most popular of indoor
sports among the csrefree youths who
90 home only when there is no other
place to visit, is that Of smashing
straw hats on the elevated trains run
ming out of the resort. 1t was at its
height last night. This is merely a
I tin. This week straw hat in the
vicinity of Coney Island is about as
safe as it would be on battlefield.

KINCSBURY FACES
GRILL ON JOBS
State Civil Service Prob.
ers in Private Inquiry
Bar City'S Counsel.

The tilt between the State and Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commissions yes
terday ended in a draw, judging from
the testimony of the contestants last
night. The state body, which is inves-
tigating the alleged illegality Of the
appointment without an examination OF
forty-seven examiners by Charities
Commissioner Kingsbury, barred out
Assistant Corporation Counsel Slower
from the inquiry room. On the other
hand, Commissioner Kingsbury was
sure last night that he had COMPOUNDED
the Investigators with his testimony.
The assistant corporation counsel
appeared at the morning session and
asked permission of the State Commits
sioners to be present at the examina-
ton of Commissioner Kingsbury, either
as q citizen or as counsel for Mr..
Kingsbury. Jacob Neu, president OF
the State Commission, a McCooey
Democrat, from Brooklyn, told Mr.. Sto-
yer that the hearing was private. Mr.
Slower then departed. He tried last
Friday to gain admittance to the hear
ing. Yesterday was his second defeat
As usual, the State Commissioners
refused to say Just what they learned
Yesterday as the result of their talk
with Commissioner Kingsbury, but the
Commissioner himself was less retl-
cent. He said he explained that up to
the present his forty-seven examiners
had returned more than three hundred
children from private institutions TO
their parents He said that by the
time the examiners were finished with
the work they had mapped out almost
one thousand children would have been
returned to the. L..
From reliable authority it was
learned yesterday that the State Civil
Service Commission will within this
week engage counsel TO represent 1t at
the inquiry. 1t is believed that such
an action presages the announcement
of a public investigation Of formal
charges which will be preferred by the

SUES FOR HIS ROYALTIES
Goodman Seeks Profits from
"Hapar Revelly."

Daniel Carson Goodman is debating
Just how much good it did to, have his
book, "Hsgar Revelly," widely adver-
tised. Anthony Comstock caused the
prosecution of Mitchell Kennerly, the
publisher, alleging the novel was i'm
proper and had been sent through the
mails. Goodman, the author, filed a
suit in the Supreme Court yesterday
against Kennerly, in which he said
that his work had sale of more
than 100000 copies, but that ne failed
to reap the benefits because Kennerly
failed to live up to a contract which
Goodman had with him.
Goodman is suing for S2O,H5. as his
share OF the sales. He said that his
contract with Kennerly was that he
was TO receive l21a cents on every
copy of the first 10000 sold and 10
cents on every copy up to 10000 copies.
The author alleged that all the pub
Usher has paid him on account was
S372, and that Kennerly has refused
TO render an accounting.
