VOICE AND HOPES
DON'T BUY MEALS
Newark Girls Operatic Career
Checked by Hotel Arrest.

Constance Rogers, in voice recently
appraised as worth about $50 a breath,
bewailed lost operate career yester-
day in the West Sixty-eighth Street
police station. Conviction that she and
the career were about to part had been
borne in upon her on Tuesday niget
over her coffee at the Hotel Endicott.
That was when she discovered that she
had thirty-seven cents, four hairpins,
two keys, a vial of cologne, handkec-
chief and a diary recountinC her ad-
ventures and hopes with which TO pay
for the meal she had just eaten.
Even the cold demeanor of the hotel
detective, however, could not dash her
hopes as did the morning light, with
its prospect of returning TO life ot
dish washing and bed making in
Newark. She was taken home to lT5
New York Avenue BY her brother.
When Miss Rogers went for her
vocal lesson in Newark on Monday she
was highly praised. Her instructor, in
fact, told her that future was assured
for her. Miss Rogers is nineteen and
she decided there was no time to lose
in getting that future into the pres
ent tense. She started right out for
New York to catch up to 1t. On the
way she bought diary IN which TO
relate her progress.

Clerks Dismissal Asked,
with Big Inquiry Into
Bureau Dealings.

Two employees in the bureau Of sup
plies Of the Board of Education are
recommended for dismissal for alleged
grating. The evidence on which the
charges are based is to be sent TO the
District Attorney. according to the re-
port on an investigation made by
Leonard NJ. Wallstein, Commissioner
of Accounts. and submitted to Mayor
Mitchell yesterday. The commissioner
says that he began the investigation
at the request of the president of the
Board Of Education.
THE investigation substantiates the
charges that were made" the report
said, "and disclosed other acts OF mis-
conduct, and requires the recommenda-
ton that William A. Casson and
Francis J. O'Malley, clerks in the bu-
reau of supplies Of the Board OF Edu.

the tabulating, statistical and tarin
division. be dismissed"
The commissioner states that after
numerous false denials Casson and
O'Malley in their testimony admitted
that in February and March, 1915,
O'Malley received from the representa-
tive of a certain supply dealer who had
furnished bookkeeping blanks to the
bureau OF supplies two sums of money
aggregating sl70, representing their
their share of commissions, which was
divided equally between the two clerks.
at also appears" the report con

Casson to recommend to various supply

Board OF Education the employment OF

When a friend or relative was so en-
ployed he usually "whacked up the
commissions he received from his en-
ployer with Casson and O'Malley, ac-
cording to the testimony.

BARONESS Won HUTTEN
ARRESTED BY BRITISH
American-Born Woman Held as
Enemy Alien.

London, July 26.-Baroness Bettina
Won Hutton has been arrested as an
enemy alien travelling more than five
miles from her address without a
permit
At the police court hearing the bar
oness protested that she was not q
German, but American born. She ex-
planned that she had been divorced
from her German husband eight years
ago and had lived in England ever
since. and that she believed she would
regain all her rights of American citi-
zenship whenever she returned TO
America. Scotland Yard detectives
said there had been previous COM
plants against the baroness travelling
about the country.
The presiding judge said it was
doubtful whether the baroness could
be considered an alien enemy The
case WAS adjourned in order to enable
the baroness 60 obtain counsel.
The Baroness Won Hutton was for
merly Miss Betsy Riddle. of Pennsyl-
vania. After her divorce from her
husband she appeared on the stage in

BERLIN INCREASES
CONTRABAND LIST
Revises Prize Court Rules to
Retaliate on Allies.

Berlin, July 26.-The government to-
day published a revision of the prize
court regulations, made in retaliation
for departures by the Entente Allies
from the London declaration. The re-
vision extends the absolute contraband
list to many articles which previously
had not been considered contraband.
The new regulations are much more
rigorous than the old. The absolute
contraband lists contain thirty-nine
entries, as compared with eleven in
previous lists Many things hitherto
expressly declared exempt from seizure
are now made absolute contraband.
The most striking addition to the
new list is "all saleable securities and
commercial paper"
The following articles also appear:
Machines and machine tools, turning
lathes, wire, mineral oils, many metal
lie and chemical products, especially
chemicals for producing poisonous
gases, cotton and other textile raw ma
terials, yarns, rubber and raw hides.

oially il is admitted il Is possible
tomc such steps may nave been taken,
but the department here directly con-
cerned has no knowledge Of such nego-
tiations.
II is considered probable by neutral
diplomats here that the British gov
crnment will make every effort to
soften any bad effect the list may have
had by direct negotiation with the
blacklisted firms in an effort to have
them removed, as the Foreign Office
has so definitely satisfied itself as to
the legality OF the blacklist that diplo-
matte Intervention is hardly likely to
cause any modification of the act.
While the theory prevails in govern
ment circles that the act is purely a
piece of domestic legislation, which can
be corrected only with respect to the
removal Of blscklisted firms individ-
ually, several neutral diplomats here
hold the act directly affects the comfy
of nations.

Britain Will Negotiate
with BlaCkliSted Firms

London, July 26.-The Foreign Office

GERMANS FARM
ON BATTLELNE
Scythe Whetting Back of
Trenches Mingles with
Roar of Guns.

HEADQUARTERS of the German Armies
on the Somme, July 24.-The great
Allied offensive has not availed to
check the raising of the rich harvest
of the fertile lands in the occupied
French provinces. The German soldier,
wielder of the sword and ploughshare,
too. has planted the fields right up 10
the line OF trenches.
Not the least striking impression or
the long automobile tour, made by Inc
Associated Press correspondent on the
front of Picardy and lie de France, was
left by the sight of army-soldier har-
yesters swinging cradles in broad helds
of ripened rye, loading stacked sheaves
into wagons and feeding the threshing
machines in utter disregard for the
great battle raging almost within rihe
shot.
Sometimes within actual range SOL
diers in some instances reaped the crop
under the fire of their enemy.
The crack guard regiment gathered
a crop of hay from a field so close
TO the French that the grass could
only be cut at night, and carried back
10 vacant fields where it could be
spread and cured.
The harvest will be well worth the
risk. Great fields of wheat, oats, rye
and potatoes, all showing remarkably
good condition. despite the lack OF
artificial fertilizers, were to be seen
ON every hand. The wheat and rye
were particularly filled out, and an
officer of the German army, who was
encountered by the correspondent
during his tour, said casually that
the crops of grain and vegetables in
the occupied districts Of France
would be sufficient TO supply the
needs of the army.
All the cattle from a thousand hills
seem to have been sent TO Craze and
fatten on the French meadows. The
corrcspondent to-day from an observa-
ton station had only 70 turn his head

to two hundred head of cattle grazing

mostly Of German origin, had been sent
; hither to fatten and be slaughtered In
the military slaughter house for army
consumption.

M'LEMORE WINS TEXAS

Washington, July 26.-Jef McLe-

warning Americans off ships Of Euro
pean bclligerents, and who has just
been nominated for Representatives,
Large by big majority in Texas, de-
feating Cyclone" Davis and others,
got his big vote in spite of, and not
because Of, his "Pro-German procliv-
ities,' Senator A. b. Fall, Of New Mex
leo, asserted to-day.
Senator Fall has just returned from
FL Paso, after making a trip along the
border.
"Mr. McLemore has been making one
of the most determined fights against
the policy Of the Wilson Administra-
tion in Mexico of any editor in the
entire Southwest" said Mr.. Fall. "The
verbal assaults of Former Governor
Colquitt, who leads by big majority
in the Senatorial race, were as nothing
to the editorial attacks by Mr.. McLe-

TO JOIN ALIENS
AND CHILD LABOR
Borah Proposes Immigra-
ton Measure as Amend
ment to Other Bill.
tFron The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July 26.-Senators ia
voring the passage Of the immigration
bill, the literacy test in which caused
President Wilson to veto the measure
last session, will force vote on it be-
fore adjournment, they declared to-day
Senator Borah, of Idaho, proposed
the entire immigration bill to-day as
an amendment to the child labor meas
ure, which the Democratic caucus last
night decided to put through before
adjournment Southern Senator'S had
already served notice on the Admin
istratiop that if President Wilson
forced the child labor bill they would
force the enactment of the immigra
tion measure over his veto. They well
coined Mr.. Borah's proposal to put the
two bills into one and enact them to-
gether.
IL am going to press my amend
ment," said Senator Borah tonight. Il
do not see how the Democrats can
refuse to vote for their own measure,
reported favorably by the Senate I'm
migration Committee and already
passed by the House by large ma
jority. am in great hopes Of getting
both measures made law by this de-
vice, since surely there will be little
opposition from the House"
Should this be done Mr.. Wilson
would be confronted with the necessity
of vetoing the Child Labor Bill, or else
signing the immigration Bill, literacy
test and all Friends Of the lmmigra-
tion Bill who also favor the Child
Labor legislation have no worry on this
score, since there are votes enough ia
both houses to pass the measure over
the Presidents veto.
Senator Kern announced to-day that
the Child Labor bill would be taken W
as soon as the District Of Columbia
appropriation measure had been
passed.
"The minority is gratified at that de-
cision,' replied Senator Gallinger, Re
publican leader, whose disclaimer of
Republican opposition and clear cu,
placing of the responsibility for IFS
passage on Democratic shoulders.
caused the strenuous move on the
Presidents part to save the bill.
"The majority should follow that py
giving notice that the immigration bill
will be taken up" said Senator La
Toilette.
Senators Gallinger and Penros,
agreed with this, but Senator Kern
announced that the majority would
give such notice as it saw fit, the
caucus having determined to defer the
immigration bill until December.
