CAMP FIRE GIRLS
CHIEFS ON WARPATH
Ex-Secretary and Officials
Exchange Tart Denials
in Breaking Truce.
GULICK FAMILY
CRITICISED AGAIN
Former Worker Says Idea for
Organization Was Borrowed"
from E. +. Seton.

The armed truce which has existed
for the last week between officials Of
the Camp Fire Girls and the organiza-
TONS former secretary, Miss Grace l..
J Parker, was broken yesterday by a
series Of contradictions. denials and
general branding of alleged false state
uents.
It was the executive committee OF
the order which fred the first shot. in
the shape Of statement contradicting
accusations said to have been made by
Miss Parker. To this the former sec
rotary replied with a refutatlon OF
most Of the committees assertions.
Many accusations attributed 10 her by
the official report, she asserted, had
never been made. Others which the
committee made in defence of DR.. Gu
lick and his family she pronounced to
be untrue.
"The members of the committee have
lodged the issue through this whole
thing" she said, pointing to the report.
IL should vastly prefer to let the mat
ter rest where it is. Still, ! cannot
ignore this statement in justice to my
self and to my friends"
The executive committees broadside
states that the resignation Of the sec
rotary had been accepted without ques-
ton because she had been eXtravagant.
As proof of this it asserts that John
d. Rockefeller cut his contribution 70
the organization in half because he
WIS informed by Starr J. Murphy that
the management of the Office Of the
order was not efficient.
81 was not responsible for the finan-
cial handling Of the Camp Fire Girls
at any time" Miss Parker remarked.
"The report also makes the statement
that the monthly expenditure aver
aged $500 last spring while | was in
Office. That is false"
The statement says that the intima-
ton is false that the plan of the sec
rotary TO meet the financial situation
by n reduction of all salaries was not
approved because it would affect the
Gulick family. To this Miss Parker
replied that she never made any such
assertion referring to the Gulicks.
In proof of this the former secretary
then read a paragraph Of the commit
tees response TO her: at is intimated
that Mrs. Gulick was getting a salary
of $1,000 each year The facts are
hiAd1 uuAluS HtI tUllIc StiFlEt " lhc
work, beginning back of the birth of
the organization. she has received a
total of 5000 salary. This was given
during the first nine months Of 1914"
This shows the attempt that the
committee is making to shield the
Gulick family" Miss Parker comment
ed. 81 said that Mrs. Gulick was re-
ceiving a salary of $1,000 a year. She
was dropped at Mr. Gulick's sugges-
ton in October, 1914. If salary OF
5000 from January to October is not
the same as $1,000 a year, then my
statement was incorrect"
Miss Parker also found fault with
the announcement of the executive
committee that the Gulicks were the
founders of the Camp Fire Girls.
According TO the former secretary OF
the organization, the whole idea fol
the order can be found in THE Birch
Bark Roll" published in, 1902, anc
written by Ernest Thompson Seton.

mated by Societies Here.

Protestant missionary societies of

closing their fiscal year, there will be

Charles Frohman Warns
Managers Against Cut
Rate Ticket System.
HIPPODROME FILMS
DRAW 136,2O9 IN WEEK
1.-The Birth of Nation" Spec
tacle in Demand in War
ring Countries.

Charles Frohman sounded a warning
yesterday against the practice Of SELL
ing cut rate theatre tickets. Insisting
that he was kept too busy criticisinR
his own work to crtioise tho work OF
other managers, he declared that he
could no longer refrain from crying out
against a system which he maintained
was a deluded policy and would pro-
duce disastrous results.
Selling cut rate Tickets" he said,
"is sin in theatre management which
convicts itself in three counts. IL is
certain TO end fatally for every man
agcr because il means dishonesty tow
ard the authors who write the plays,
dishonesty toward the public which
pays TO sec plays. and in the end dis
honesty on the part OF those managers
who corrupt their box offices by turn
ing them over TO cut rate ticket agen-
cies.
Wherever this practice exists the
playwright must lose n share Of his
royalties on every ticket whose printed
price Is cut. Therefore. it is time for
all playwrights to rise in a united pro
test. If any manager wishes to sell
his best tickets for 81. let him do so.
but let him also sell at that price TO
everybody. But TO sell some of the
best tickets for 81 and others equally
good for 81 so that the man who has
paid s. for seat has for neighbor
a man who has paid only Sis sheer
fraud 10 the public as well as to the
playwright"
Mr.. Frohman closed his statement
with this appeal to every American
manager:
III we do not unto on any other
ground let US stand together for rea-
sons Of common sense if for no higher
reasons and rid our theatre Of this de-
ludinS system that cannot continue
without corruptinG everybody con-
cerned."
