BELIEVE u. S. NOTE
SENT TO BRITAIN
Officials in Washington
Fail to Deny Dispatch
of Inquiries.

Washington, March 7.-Although Sec
retary Bryan declined to make any an
nouncements, the general impression
in official quarters tonight was that
the message of inquiry, which has been
under consideration for several days,
finally had been sent to Great Britain
and France. asking for a clear ex-
PLANTATION Of their recent joint COM
munication declaring that they held
themselves at liberty to stop all com
merce between Germany and neutral
countries.
Reports that the inquiry had been
sent were generally current to-day and
met with no denial by high officials,
who. however, have always declined to
discuss communications to the Euro
pesn belligerents in advance OF their
receipt in the Foreign Offices abroad.
The message of inquiry is under
stood to be of a broad character, de-
signed to ascertain what the actual
practice OF the Allies will be in the
enforcement cf their embargo, what
disposition will be made of cargoes
and ships detained, what procedure
will be adopted in the case of ship
ments consigned to neutral countries
and alleged to be destined to an en-
envy. what settlement will be made for
cargoes contracted for before the dec
laration was made, and whether dye
stuffs and other materials which Great
Britain will permit her nationals TO
import cannot also be obtained by
merchants of the United States.

WOMAN KILLED
BY SINGERS AUTO
Husband Also Badly Hurt
When Ruysdael's Car
Hits Pair.
COUPLE IGNORANT
OF PERIL IN STORM
Metropolitan Artist Disclaims
Responsibility - Taxi
Injuries Two.

Mrs. Annie Lawrence, of J5I West
124th Street, was killed while crossing
Fifth Avenue at Twenty-second Street
early last night, and her husband,
Charles, was taken to the New York
Hospital with both legs broken, when
an automobile driven by Basil Ruys-
dael, the Metropolitan Opera Company
basso, ran them down.
The couple were hurrying eastward
across the avenue in the driving storm
holding an umbrella when the auto
mobile with three passengers ap-
preached. Ruysdael, the police say,
suddenly swung from behind ma
chine ahead and was about to pass to
the front when the Lawrences came
suddenly in his path. He had not time
TO swerve again to avoid them and they
were hurled ten feet.
Passing automobilists Immediately
volunteered their services in getting the
injured to the hospital. William H..
Peters. jr., Of 9 East Tenth Street, driv-
ing his fathers car, carried Lawrence.
DR.. Kellogg declared the woman had
died almost instantly from fractured
skull. She was thirty-three years old.
Ruysdael and his party were permit
ted to continue on their way. In the
car with Mr.. Ruysdael were Mrs.
Maude Clarke and Miss Helen Stan
ley. both living at the Hotel Strattord,
II East Thirty-second Street.
Mr. Ruysdael later in his apart
ments in the Coronet, 81 West Fifty
eighth Street, said:
II was at the wheel, driving south IN
the avenue, and following a big limou-
sine. There was safe distance be-
tween the car ahead and my car, and
our speed was the average avenue speed
when many cars are following one an
other. | had my attention called to the
accident when one of the ladies' IN my
car screamed. and | felt slight bump
but. as il afterward proved, 1t was
sufficient to bend my lamp-and saw
the man and the woman fall: | stopped
my car. and when the policeman came
up | turned north and stopped on the
opposite side of the avenue-the east
side. The accident happened at Twen-
ty-second Street.
I'VE found the man moaning. He
said his foot was hurt. The woman
was insensible. and, to my complete
horror. | learned shortly after that she
had been killed. One of the ladies IN
my party was with some friends
from Chicago called my attention to
the fact that the woman we hit carried
her umbrella held to the north, and this
obstructed her view of southbound
automobiles. Apparently the couple
stepped quickly when crossing the ave
nue. and soug hit to cross directly be-
hind the large limousine ahead OF me.
Fortunately, the policeman and sew
eral eyewitnesses were near by. The
accident stirred every member OF my
party, and feel quite unnerved by 1t.
i was in a similar accident in France.
but was not at the wheel then. | went
to the police station, where the police
lieutenant said he would communicate
with me if he desired anything, but he
said he had no charge to make. | am
extremely sorry the accident occurred
but cannot conscientiously take the
blame on myself"

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
In OPEN REVOLT
AGAINST LEADER
Several Chapters Rebel
Against Management of
DR.. Luther H. GuliCk.
CONDEMN HIS POLICY
AS TO MEMBERSHIP
Too Exclusive, Say Some Guard
ians, Who Charge Violation
of Their Constitution.

Rebellion has broken out in the ranks
Of the Camp Fire Girls against the rule
of Dr.. Luther II. Gulick. president of
the organization.
Several local bodies have seeded
from the general order, and Camp Fire
Guardians believe this is only be-
ginning of wide-fung protest against
what they call the arbitrary and uncon-
stituton methods of DR.. Gulick. The
organization is national in its scope and
similar in its aims to the Boy Scouts OF
America.
Adherents OF the president, who is
at present recuperating from nervous
breakdown, assert that dissenslon is
being stirred up by sympathizers OF
Miss Grace Parker, who was discharged
from her position of financial secretary
November last by DR.. Gulick.
George W. Perkins is said to have
resigned from the organization and
Freedrck b. Pratt also left it because
of dissatisfaction with DR.. Gulick's ad-
ministration.
This is denied by Guardians in this
city. who point out that the disaffection
then partisanship. They claim as their
main grievances that DR.. Gulick has al
tered arbitrarily both the constitution
and bylaws of the order. and also point
out that the national Office of the Camp
Fire Girls has been most dilatory in
it's transaction Of the business of the
organization.
Chapters Withdraw.
Because OF this, they say. a general
satisfaction has been felt by both
the members and guardians of the so
ciety SO far has this discomfort pro
gressed that the chapters of the Camp
Fire Girls in Springfield, Mass, and
st. Louis have already withdrawn from
the national body, with those IN
Montreal threatening to follow them.
"The fact that these cities, so widely
separated, have rebelled. should be
taken as a contradiction of the state
ment that the discomfort is merely
local" said Miss Jean Miller, New
York Guardian, last night.
"TherP is no personal element IN
this protest. II is simply a case where
the national Office has been so ineff-
cient that various groups have become
disgusted Those that have withdrawn
from the order have not disbanded.
They are carrying on the ideals of the
Camp Fire Girls. They have merely
changed the name that they work
under"
According to Miss Miller, the pres
ent rebellion was inspired by an an
nouncement by DR.. Gulick which ap-
peared in the January "Wohelo," the
magazine of the organization. The
president Of the order proclaimed IN
this that the number OF girls taken
into the organization should hence
forth be limited to 2,400 a month, and
further ordered that henceforth prece-
dence should be given 10 those camp
fires which had as their guardians
mothers or intimate friends of the
members.
Besides this, DR.. Gulick made radi-
cal change in the policy Of the Camp
