u. S. CONSUL FREED
BY RUSSIAN GIRL
Arrested in Petrograd, He Says,
While Arranging Exchange
OF Prisoners.

The Statue Of Liberty has rarely been
a more welcome sight than 1t was 10
two Americans who returned yesterday
on the Scandinavia-America liner Fred
erick VIII after experiencing arrest and
confinement in Russia. They were Fran
els Mallet, former United States Consul
at Budapest, and john George Simon,
representative of q Massachusetts shoe
company.
Mr.. Mallet said he would report TO
the State Department at Washington
the circumstances of his Imprisonment.
He said that he was in Petrograd in the
early part Of this year arranging an
exchange of prisoners between Russia
and Austria Hungary, when six mem
bers of the secret police came 70 his
room in the Hotel de France one morn
ing and arrested him. They accused
him of being an agent of Austria.
The officers searched his room and
then took him to "a police station. lie
was kept for q day in dark cell and
then transferred to the political prison
of the secret police. All communlca-
ton with the outside world was denied
him. His freedom was obtained for
him by Miss Helian Runel, daughter Of
ussian general.
Mr.. Mallet had helped Miss Runel
out of Austria at the beginning of the
war, and she repaid him by effecting
his release. Sixteen days after his ar
rest he was freed and left at once for
Sweden, where he has been since.
Mr.. Simon's imprisonment lasted
only four days, he said. He was
arrested while walking along a street
in Moscow with his assistant, Frederick
Keene, Of Chicago. They were thrown
into dark underground cells and fed on
black bread and water. Mr.. Simon
finally got word to John II. Snodgrass,
United States Consul General. who OBJ
tanned his release. The Russians were
very suspicious of Mr.. Keene, however,
and it was nineteen days before he got

Lack of Craftsmen for California
Nav Law of $500 Men.

Navy yard officers fear that unless
the force of craftsmen is increased In
the machinery division all work on
the machinery of the battleship Cali
fornia will be held up. Congress is
blamed for the situation, because DAN
iels's efforts TO get money for the in
crease have been unsuccessful. II was
said last night that $500 mechanics in
the machinery division may be without
jobs.
Officers said that never had the navy
yard been confronted with such sit
uation. There are twenty-five drafts
men in the machinery division, and
they have been at work on the engines
for the battleships Arizona and Cali
fornia and the collier Maumee. This

usually at work on one destroyer.

Fitzgerald, chairman OF the Appropra-
tions Committee in the House, will help
get the money for Secretary Daniels.

FOR CONGRESS
Garrison Says He Has Drawn
No Measure, but Merely
Made Suggestions.
FROM me 1ribune Bureau.l

Washington, Dec. 4.-Referring 10
published illusions to "War Depart
ment army bill" Secretary Garrison
said to-day that he had drawn no such
bill and would not do so. In his con-
ferences with the chairmen of the
House and Senate Military Affairs COM
mittees, he said, it had been specifcal-
ly understood that the War Department
would merely offer suggestions and in
formation, and that the committees
would draft the bill.
The Secretary's statement is de-
signed to meet the objection of Repub-
lican leaders that the national defence
measures are being framed in defni-
tive form by the administration, and
therefore demand a division along
party lines.
"The Army and Navy Journal" yes
terday published the text of what it
termed "The War Department Bill"
saying it was the text Of tentative
bill which had been prepared by the
War Department and submitted for
criticism and suggestion to the chair
men Of the military committees #

A DELIGHTFUL DANCE.

The Vahalla Club has during
the past few years given many
beautiful dances, and has been
the scene of many brilliant enter
tainments, but never was a more
delightful affair Of any kind given
in its Club Rooms than their Pro
Easter Dance given last Friday
evening.
The Dance hall was beautifully
decorated in purple and white
colors so in keeping with the
Easter season-and with baskets
of Easter lilies suspended from
the ceiling. Added to the beauty
of the hall were the handsomely
gowned young ladies' with their
escorts all in evening attire, maxi
ing the scene most beautiful one
to gaze upon.
For this dance the members of
the Club invited their friends who
were non members, and the dane
ing young men of the city were
present. About thirty couples
enjoyed the dances and were
loath to leave when Home
Sweet Home" was played at one
thirty.
