New York, July 26.-Though Con-
stance Rogzibicz made but a brief ex-
cursion into the golden realm of oper-
attic art-extending, in fact, only to a
view Of the yellow exterior of the
Metropolitan opera House-the way
was filled with adventure. Her cir
cuitous quest began in a corset factory
in Newark and ended in the Sixty
eighth street police station. Today
her parents, who live in Newark, will
take her back home.
Constance. who is 19 years old, en-
tered the Endicott Hotel restaurant,
attired in new linen suit and a pretty
hat, a few minutes after midnight and
ordered an after'the-theater supper.
When the check was presented she
discovered that she had lost her money
from her purse.
Patrick Dwyer. the house detective,
was called. and to him the young
woman tearfully confded that she was
Constance Rodgers, an opera singer
from Boston" and that she had left a
bank check for a large amount at an
other hotel A clerk OF this hotel on
not known there.
Dwyer seemingly persuaded Miss
Rodgers" that the place for her was
the Young Woman's Christian Associa-
tion. but when they arrived there she
preferred to go to the home OF her
aunt. at Riverside drive and Seventy
ninth street"
The sympathetic and patient detect
i've amiably accompanied the girl to
that neighborhood. but she had to own
that she could not identify the house
At this Dwyer said he knew a music
teacher in Sixty-eighth street who
would be interested.
NO. I'll go to the river" said Con-
stance. It's all over for me now"
But Dwyer took her to the music
teacher, who was Police Lieut.. Leary.
After long questioning, Constance
broke down and wept and told her
true name.

GUARD TO STAY
ALONG BORDER
Senate Provides for Novem,
Der Voting, Also Release
Of Minors.

Radical changes were made in the army
appropriation bill in the Senate yester-
day. An amendment by Senator Reed
providing for taking the ballots of the
soldiers in the field at the November
election was passed, indicating as other
recent events an intention to keep the
milida on the boundary at least until
late in the fall.
Senator Reed also put through an
amendment increasing the pay of the
men In the service on the border by pro-
viding for them foreign service'' nav.
which Will add twenty per cent to the
Present pay of the private and ten per
cent TO the pay Of commissioned off,
GERS. This latter provision WILL add over
Sl4,oO0,oOO to the total appropriations car
rled
But probably the most far-reaching OF
the changes made was the adoption Of
an amendment offered by Senator La
Toilette which will bring home many of
the young militiamen. This restores the
old law that no boy shall be enlisted
In the regular service under the age Of
z without the written consent Of parent
or guardian
AT the suggestion Of Senator Brandegee.
OF Connecticut, Mr. LaFoIIette modified
Ills amendment to provide that those now
In the service may remain. provided they
hle the written consent within thirty
days.
The army bill went over till yesterday
with fair prospect that It will be dis
posed Of today. It will be followed
by the military academy appropria ton
bill and the District Of Columbia appro-
priation bill.
