KIRCHWEY NOW
SING SING WARDEN
Former Dean of Columbia Law School
Appointed to Succeed Thomas Mott
Osborne.

ALBANY, y. Y, Dec. 81. - George
". Kirehwey of New York, former
dean of the Columbia law school, was
appointed agent and warden Of the
Sing Sing prison today by John B.
Riley, state superintendent of prisons,
to succeed Thomas Mott Osborne. No
conditions were attached to the ap-
pointment, which contained no hmita
tions as to the length of its duration.
The appointment of Dean Kirchwey.
it is believed, will have the effect of
quieting the clamor stirred up by War
den Osborne about his Indictment be-
ing the elimination of conspiracy to
upset his work at Sing Sing. Kirch-
wey, more than any other man in the
state, knows the Osborne system, al
though he is said to be of disposition
not to carry the welfare idea to such
extremes as did Warden Osborne.

SCOUT MASTER WAS DROPPED.
Local Boy Scouts Interested in Ernest
Thompson Seton Affair.

The Boy Scouts of Brattleboro are
interested in an article in a recent is
sue of Scouting, the publication of the
Boy Scouts of America, entitled Why
Mr.. Seton Was Dropped by the Boy
Scout Movement - Ernest Thompson
Seton gave out a statement. which was
given wide publicity, to the effect that
he had demanded of the Boy Scout
movement that it accept his resigua-
tion as chief scout, and claiming that
he had offered his resignation because
the movement was laying emphasis up
on military activities and neglecting
woodcraft.
In n long statement the executive
board of the national council opens with
the following: - Mr.. Seton did not re-
sign; he was deliberately dropped by
the national council of the Boy Scouts
of America on the question of Ameri-
canism. He is not an American citizen.
He not only resented suggestions and
requests made by many of his friends
/ in the scout movement that he become
an American citizen, but went further
and objected to the Boy Scout hand
book including a chapter on Patriot
ism. The national council at Its
meeting in February, 1915, did not re
elect him because of the belief that in
movement for making manly Ameri
cans there should be no doubt as to the
leadership and patriotism of its lead
ers Any statement that the dropping
of Mr.. Seton or his alleged resignation
was due to anything else than this is
not true
The statement further says that Mr.
Seton voluntarily promised explicitly
by letter that he would quietly procee,
with his own work without raising any
issue publicly.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dee. 81. =
Mathew A. Schmidt was convicted last
night of first degree murder as the ac-
eompice Of James B. Mcnamara in the

building here five years ago. The spe-
'cifc charge was of having mur-
dered Charles Hagerty, one of the 90

at imprisonment for life, the same
penalty imposed on James B. McNa-
I mara after the latter had confessed
in court four years ago that he placed
the bomb which blew up the newspa-
per plant.
David Caplan, another alleged accom-
phee of Mcnamara, who was arrested
last February near Seattle shortly af-
ter Schmidt had been taken into Gus
tody in New York, is in Jail, awaiting
trial also on the charge of having muir
dered Charles Hagerty.
The court S charge to the jury had
been regarded as distinctly favorable
to the defendant and the verdict came
as a surprise to Schmidt and his coun-
sci. Schmidt, however, heard it with
out show Of emotion. Time for the i'm
position of sentence upon Schmidt was
fixed for next Monday, and his counsel
will then interpose motion for a new
trial. 1t was agreed that argument on

QUESTION OF
AN INDEMNITY
That is Only Phase of Situa-
ton to Be Cleared Up
with Austria
COMMANDER WHO SUNK
THE ANCONA PUNISHED
Austria Has Already Expressed Will
ingness 20 Make Matter
of Warning Before Attacking Mer-
chantment May Come Up Later.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The offici-
al text of the Austrian Ancona note
was received early today at state de-
partment. The work Of translating
from the diplomatic code will take
several hours and arrangements for
publication will be made ater.
If the official text Of the Austrian
reply conforms to the press dispatches
saying the communication announces
that the submarine commander who
torpedoed the steamer had been p<n-
ished virtually only one phase of the
incident remains to be cleared up.
That would be the payment of an
indemnity for American lives, for
which Austria has expressed a willing
ness to make reparation.
Later, however, there may be full
exchanges between the United States
and Austria on the question of sub
marine warfare and the necessity for
warning before attacking merchant
men.

MANY AMERICANS
DETAINED IN VIENNA
Certificates Of Birth or Naturalization
Demanded-Penfeld Makes
Protest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31- Ameri-
cans in Vienna not possessing certifi-
eates of birth or naturalization are be
ng detained through the refusal of
German consuls to wise their passports
for travel in the German empire. Am
bassador Penfeld reported the situa-
ion to the state department by cable.
The ambassador said he had made
representations on the subject to the
German embassy in Vienna and had
asked the American embassy at Ber
lin to secure a modification of the reg
ulation, which prevents Americans
from returning to their homes and ex-
cludes American-born or naturalized
citizens who have not the required ad-
iitional documents from Germany.
The regulation. it is said makes it
virtually impossible for American citi-
| zens so situated to embark from Hol-
land for home.
| Vienna, Dec. 2S, and forwarded
| through Minister Stovall at Berne, fol
lows:
''German consulate at Vienna refuses
| to wise American passports for travel
IN German empire unless bearers pre-
sent certificates of birth or naturali-
zation. Americans here not possessing
these documents consequently are be
| ,ng detained.
- Have presented matter to German
embassy with request for modification
Of present regulation to enable Ameri
can citizens to return to their homes
| and have informed embassy at Ber
lin requesting their good Offices in pre-
senting matter to German authorities
"Above regulations practically ex
cIude from Germany bonafde Ameri
can-born and naturalized citizens
bearers of passports, but not having
the required additional documents anC
will tend to work hardship and delay
making it practically impossible fo1
such persons to embark from Holland. ,
