DYING, SHE LEFT

Hoboken Pleasure Club
Cav Night on Broadway.

Four middle aged ladies, all mem
bers of the Hoboken Pleasure Club,
met last night to discuss ways and
means of spending $4,000 for one round
Of sublimated joy. Eleven more staid
and elderly matrons awaited their de-
cison. The money, left by Mrs. Au-
gustus Pape, who died a week ago, was
also waiting 10 be spent
Two weeks from to-day Broadway
may sit up and find itself invaded by
fifteen real spenders, despite their con-
servative appearance.
Mrs. Pape was one of the most popu-
lar mem bers of the club. She played

Mrs. Pape was the widow Of DR..

of the club for electing her an active

Each and every member of the club

ACTS ENDORSED BY
FEDERATED UNION
Secretary of Metal Workers De-
tends Mente-DeclareS Arrest
Was Due TO Jealousy.

The Central Federated Union. EN-
bracing the workers in practically all
trades in New York City, has fully in
dorsed all action taken by Labor's Ma
tional Peace Council, now under in
vestigation by the Federal grand jury.
This statement was made last night by
Ernest Bohm, treasurer OF the council
and also secretary Of the Central Fed
Grated Union.
"When the National Peace Council
was formed" said Mr. Bohm. Shortly
after the Lusitania disaster, when there
appeared to be a chance that the
United States might become embroiled
in the European war, the Central Fed
Grated Union appointed committee Of
five who superintended each act Of the
council, and reported back to the union,
which approved In every instance.
Nothing has been done by the council
10 which the union objected In any
way"
Mr.. Bohm laughed when asked

"Our funds were subscribed volun-
tarily and by business persons. These
were used chiefly in our publicity cam

the council were practically voluntary.

"As treasurer I have entered in my
books all gifts to the council, and have

of the officers of the organization

lutions would be passed repudiating
the supposed pro-German attitude Of
the council.

statement attributed to Mr.. Marshall on
Monday to issue another statement
last night in which he criticised the

Perjury Alleged in Deal
for a Calf at OsSining

Following the testimony of Isaac
Grossman, who recently ran a saloon
before the Westchester County Grand
Jury. which is making an inquiry into
conditions at the prison, District Attor-
ney Weeks yesterday had Grossman
held for perjury. Justice Morschauser,
OF the Supreme Court, fixed bail at
$4,000. This was furnished by AL
Meyers and Harry Meyers, of Ossining.
It is charged by the prosecutor that
Grossman testified falsely in regard TO
the purchase of a Guernsey calf from
one Bolaski, who, it is alleged, was a

cipal affidavit against Grossman is that
of James Kelly, formerly a storekeeper
at Sing Sing prison.
In the testimony before the Grand
Jury Grossman swore that he never
said a word to Kelly about the calf
before he bought it, although Kelly tes-
tilted just the opposite. Grossman says
he bought the calf from Bolaski on
June % last, but a receipt was pro-
duced showing the date to be July 1.
Then Grossman was asked before the
Grand Jury:
How long, after you bought the calf,
did you talk TO Warden Osborne"

FEAR REVOLT ON MINNESOTA
San Francisco Shipping Circles Say
Mutineers Control Vessel.

San Francisco, Dec Reports that
the Minnesota, Of the Hill Line, carry
ing a S1,OOO,OcO cargo for England, had
not only been disabled off the coast Of
Lower California, but Lad fallen into
the hands of nut neers aboard, swept
through shipping circles to-day.
The spasmodic distress signals which
have come from the ship since last
Thursday, coupled with the mystery
which the Minnesota's wireless main
tains as to the ships exact position,
has aroused grave fears here.
Another strange circumstance Is the
fact that Captain Garlick has not re-
ported his ship to the naval authorities
or to any of the marine apartments,
but has given information only on de-
mand from the officials Of the Hill Line.

HUNGARIAN EDITOR
DENOUNCES PLOTS
COnspiracies to Wreck Munition
Plants in United States
Called Treason.

Deploring the recent attempts to de-
stroy munition plants by TeutoniC
agents and sympathizers, Alexander
Konta, the Hungarian editor, pointed
out the rights and duties Of naturalized
Hungarians in a speech in the York
willie branch of the Public Library last
night.
at is one Of our rights to cease work
ing in munition factories" Mr.. Konta
said. at is not one Of our rights to
destroy machinery and endanger human
lives, to conspire against law and or
der. If having sworn allegiance TO this
country, we do this. we are guilty of
treason. If we are foreigners resident
here, earning our living under the pro
lection of the law, we must keep that
law, or we must go where we came
from. There is no place here for aliens
who defy the authority Of the state
that shelters them.
The sinking of the Lusitania was
characterized by Mr.. Konta as worse
than an atrocity, ut was blupder
committed with total lack Of under
standing of the American spirit, and
lost the cause of the Central Powers,
irretrievably, in this country"
"Whatever has gone before, what
ever followed, only served to strength
en-, to increase the nationwide resent
ment. An injudicious propaganda,
diplomatic plots, the supreme stupidity
Of being found out-all this has been
fuel TO the flame Of American resent
ment."
In the face Of this resentment, which
will undoubtedly cause Germans and
Austrians and Hungarians discontinue,
Mr. Konta told his fellow countrymep
10 rest secure in an ultimate spirit OF
American fairness, which though pas
sions may obscure for the while, never
fails in the end"

ing Secretary Of State Lansing to issue
passports which will enable member

Berlin, Dec. THE German press in
general treats the Ford peace mission
only as a manifestation of American
eccentricity. According to opinion
here, the mission will have but slight
chance of eXertinC its efforts IN Ger
many or other belligerent countries, in
view of TIE fact that the passports OF
its members are good only for neutral
countries, making it impossible for the
mission 70 operate at much shorter
range than if it had remained in New

II would be possible, of course, for
Germany TO relax its regulations and

Sterling. Colo.-Governor Carlson, in
an address delivered in the tabernacle
of DR.. Bulgin, the evangelist, here, de-
fled the ''home rule" forces OF Denver,
which, he intimated, were trying to
bring about anarchy in Colorado by
the overthrow of the state constitu-
ton and the control of Denver police
and a Judge.
The liquor interests have spent a
lot of money in an effort to defeat
and nullify the constitution of the
state he said Their own attorney
ADMITS that it would De illegal, but
there are those who say they can
control the police of Denver and they
say they can control one district
judge.
"A part of their plan is, during the
time of trial, to get stay of judg-
ment and to take advantage of the
recall section in our constitution to
nu...;fy part of the constitution.
If those people want fight" he
exclaimed, referring to the hackers OF
the home rule" amendment passed in
Denver, land if it comes to a fight
against anarchy and law violation,
they will find that there are those in
this state who are ready to enjoy that
fight and see to it that the constitu-
ton of this state is supported"
The governor was severe in his ar
raignment of those who seek to make
the home rule" amendment operative,
but said that he desired to distinguish
between the good people of Denver
and the influences which he con-
demned, so as to not to cast any re-
Election on the city as whole"
II am here to assure you," he
said, that in 1916, when the time
comes for that law which you people
put on the statute books, making Colo
RADIO prohibition state to be enforced

those who voted for home rule in
Denver"
