CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Charles Strony,
in custody at WinGsor, Ont, today on
a charge of being a spy, is a widely
known musical director, who during
the season Just closed was under con
tract to the Chicago Grand Opera
company to conduct French opera.
II is said Mr.. Strony directed the
Boston Opera company TOT sevGTar
seasons, but was "loaned" to the Chi
cago Grand Opera company last fall
According to advices received here,
Strong conducted four concerts du-
vina, in Montreal, Quebec, Toronto
and ottawa. The Ottawa concert
took place Thursday night, when the
Canadian parliament building was
burned, and according to his friends
here Strony's actions might have
aroused suspician, as he had figured
on making close train connection in
order to reach Chicago Friday night
to direct late rehearsal of musi.
cal show which is to be produced
here
The fire in the parliament build
ing and his own haste to reach his
train, his friends say, might have
prompted Strony to act in manner
that would arouse suspicion.
The chorus of the show which he
is to direct waited until nearly mid
night last night at downtown the
ater and finally was dismissed when
they learned that their leader was in
custody.
1t is said Strony was the guest of
Sir Thomas G. Shaughne'sy, presi-
dent of the Canadian Pacific railway,
"The chancellor will have 10 ask
during the present week.
Strony is said to be a Belgian by
birth and Frenchman by adoption.

PRESIDENT PLANS
SOUTHERN TRIP
HE WILL LIKELY LEAVE WASH
INGTON NEXT WEEK ON A
TOUR OF THE SOUTH.

WASHINGTON, Feb .5.-While tel
egrams and letters of congratulation
on his mid-weatern preparedness
trip continued arriving at the White
House today, President Wilson was
considering another trip-this time to
the south and possibly some far
!. western cities. The possibilities of
Sthe Lusitania situation, it was said,
offered the only obstacle likely to in
fluence him against such program.
1t is known that the presidents adj
visers have told him there was need
in the south for a special effort for
preparedness anu invitations have
come to the president to visit Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas.
Should the president decide to make
the second tour it is not likely he
could get away from the capital before
February 10 owing to the press OF
routine matters.
Additional invitations for President
Wilson to visit cities in the south ar.
rived at the White House today in
large number. Governor Harris tele-
graphed asking him to go to Georgia
Senator James invited him to Padu
cab and Louisville, KY, and Senator
Sheppard urged him to visit Dallas
Galveston and other points in Texas

UNITED STATES WILL PAY
GREECE 100000 DRACHMAS

ATHENS (via Paris), Feb. 5.-The
American minister to Greece, Garrett
Dropeprs, has reached an agreement
with the 'Grek authorities for immedi-
ate. payment of 100000 drachmas in
settlement of the claim of Greece for
the amount due from the United
States for payment OF money orders,
Henceforth payments will be made at
fixed rate of exchange.
The Greek government presented a
claim to the United States last De
cember for payment of its losses on
settlement on international postal
money 'orders. The American gov
ernment paid balances in favor of
Greece, according to the usual pro.
cedure, by check on on Paris. The
Greek government contende that
on account of the decline in the eX-
change rate since the beginning OF
the war it lost large sum of these
settlements. 1t is understood the
amount claimed by Greece in Decem.
Der was about $250.000.

APPAM'S CAPTAIN BLAMED
FOR LOSS OF THE SHIP

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 5.-Capt. H.
G. Harrison was blamed yb the ships
crew and some of the officers for the
loss of the British steamer Appam,
now riding at anchor off Newport
News, German prize of war, still
carrying three-fourths Of its $1,000
cargo. Captain Harrison was warned
before leaving West Africa, it was
said, to keep clear of teh Canary isl
ands, because there were suspicious
indications that German raiders had
been at work.
The cargo of the Appam included
gold bars worth about $4,000; 1000
tons of cocoa valued at about $780,
600; 70 casks of palm oil, worth
about 100000; 1,G00 cases of palm
kernels, tons of tin ore and $50
tons of African maise
The gold was confiscated by the
raider which captured the Apapm.
All Englishmen aboard the Appam
were compelled to sign a promise not
to bear arms against Germany during
this war.

MANY THINK PRESIDENT OF
BOARD WOULD MAKE AN
EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.
HE MAY BE CONSIDERED AT
MEETING OF DIRECTORS
While in No Sense an Applicant,
Popular President of the Or
ganization May Be Offered
Position of Executive Officer.

A number of Brunswick people, III
cluded among them many of the mem
bers of the Board of Trade yesterday
made the suggestion that e. C. Butts,
now president of the Brunswick Board
of Trade, would make an efficient and
popular secretary, and it may be that
his name will be discussed when the
board of directors meet Tuesday night
to consider the election Of new sec
retary.
Mr. Butts, of course. is in no way
candidate for the position; as a mat
ter of fact he has not been approach
ed on the subject and it is not known
whether or not he would accept the
place should it be rendered TO him,
but at he same time he was being
generally mentioned yesterday, and
many of those who discussed the sub
jeUt seem TO of theepihie7a t-41444er he 44
is the best man available for the Do-
sition
Mr.. Butts has served for more than
a year as president of the organize
tion and during that time he has given
a great deal of his attention to the
board. He is familiar with the present
rate fight, which is not yet at its end
and is also familiar with all OF the
circumstances connected with the dis
elimination charges preferred against
transportation lines. He is likewise in
touch with number OF new things
which the board has In contemplation,
knows the inside workings of the sec
retary's office, and no doubt he would
make a valuable man.
AS announced in The News ycster-
day morning the directors will meet
Tuesday night for the purpose of con-
sidering new secretary, and Presi-
dent Butts may be among those dis
cussed.

COL. We. KAY MAY
GET A PROMOTION
FRIENDS BELIEVE HE WILL BE
NAMED GENERAL COUNSEL OF
THE COAST LINE.

A former popular Brnnswlckian,
Col. w IT, Way, is being mentioned as

ander Hamilton, former general coun-
sci Of the Atlantic Coast Line, who
passed away at his home in Peters
burg Va, Friday. Col. Kay is now in
Petersburg TO attend the funeral to-
day.
While no intimation Of course has
las yet come from officials of the
Coast Line, and while no announce
|mcnt is expected for several days, he
is line for the position, ana his friends
believe that the promotion will fall
TO him.
Col Kay's Brunswick law firm was
for many years division counsel for
the big railroad company, and several
years ago he was appointed assistant
general counsel, with headquarters in
Jacksonville, and now has charge of
practically the legal department of the
Coast Line in sAhree or four of the
southern statesWW hi8ahere are three
