ACTRESS WINS ENTRY
TO u. S. BY COURT ORDER
Girl Held Four Months at Ellis
Island Allowed to Land.

Hilda Rose Cavsnaugh, young Lon
don vaudeville actress, who has been
held at Ellis Island since last June
pending deportation proceedings, will
be permitted to land as result OF an
opinion filed in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday by Judge Manton
in a habeas corpus proceeding.
An order of deportation was first is
sued on the ground that she was an i'm
moral person, the government author-
ties having been informed anonymously
of relations she is alleged to have had
on a previous visit to this country
with Clarence d. Levy, formerly tax
appraiser of this city and now real
estate dealer in Long Branch, n. j.
Both Miss Cavanaugh and Mr.. Levy tes-
tilted they were to be married on her
release.
A second charge was then placed
against the actress to the effect that
there was danger of her becoming
public charge. In answer to this Judge
Manton said that Levy had an income
of $1,000, an annual earning capacity
of 1000 as tax al praiser and real
estate worth $4,000. The court also
pointed out that even if Levy doesn't
keep his agreement to marry Miss
Cavanaugh she had more than 500
when she arrived and can earn a good
living as a dancer and singer or a
twist

FOE TO ALIEN LAND LAW
FOR JAPANESE CABINET
Baron Sakatani Offered Post of
Minister of Finance.

Toxic, Oct. 9.-Baron Sakatani, who
is in the United States, will be offered
the post of Minister of Finance in the
new japanese Cabinet, according to
the "Hochi Shimbun." Baron Sakatani,
who was a delegate to the economic
conference of the Entente Allies, in
Paris, recently asserted that 1t was a
matter of Justice and necessity" -
repeal American laws alleged to dis
criminate against the japanese.
Fearful Of the results of the grow
ing apprehension in America and
China that the new ministry of Pre-
mier Terauchi will be too aggressive in
diplomatic and military affairs, the
"Asahi Shimbun" hastens to assure
the people of both countries that the
new Cabinet does not represent the
will of the nation.
Baron Shibusawa, president Of the
Americsn-Japanese Association, is
quoted as having said that a change in
ministry involving the formation Of a
non-party Cabinet as unfortunate. He
is said to have urged the Premier 10
reject any idea of militarism, which
might cause uneasiness in America and
injure the diplomatic progress Of
Japan.

Prevention Day Observed
in Streets, Homes, Schools
and Factories.
FLOAT PORTRAYS
BURNING BLOCK
Adamson Spreads Warn
ing About Gasoline,
Matches and Cigarettes.

Every man, woman and child in
New York was urged yesterday to be-
come volunteer fireman. In cele-
brating Fire Prevention Day the city
authorities carried the p syentive
campaign into the streets, homes,
scho Is, manufacturing plants, ONCE
buildings and hotels.
Every one, from the child who plays
with fire and the young man VINO
carelessly Aips his lighted cigarette
into a pile of rubbish to the negli-
gent manufacturer and even the
stranger within the city's gates, had
the lesson brought to his attention IN
one way or another.
The most impressive feature was
parade of the Fire Department band,
sixteen pieces Of apparatus and ten
floats through the manufacturing
shopping, residential and tenement
districts. starting at the Municipal
Building and proceeding as far nortn
as Seventy-second Street
Burning Block Portrayed.
One float, representing a burning
citv block. called attention TO the fact
that more than IL 900 factories. dwell
ings and other buildings were at
tackled by fire last year, entalllng
loss of s5,14S,O00 The part education
PLAYS in helping the city to conquer
fire was pointed out by another bear
ing a miniature Washington Irving
High School filled with girls in thin,
classic drapery.
Other floats called attention TO tne
facts that children playing with IRE
cost the city Ss3,711 last year; that
the careless use of matches started
1914 fires; that 1906 fires were
caused by lighted cigarettes and
cigars: and that carelessness with gas
lights and stoves caused I'll flre5
costing S94,775. Still others called
attention TO the dangers of using ben
zine, gasolene and naphtha. One hoat
showed group of factory girls
huddled on a fire escape.
Lectures Given in Schools.
Besides the parade, lectures were
given in the schools and Fire Com
missioner Robert Adamson sent broad
cast 10000 signs bearing the follow
ing inscription in bright red letters:
This is Fire Prevention Day. Clean
up rubbish" He also sent out 25O'OOO
circulars calling attention to the hre
danger.
The Commissioner pointed out that
70 per cent Of the fires occur in homes
from careless use Of matches, defec-
tive or overheated stoves and heat
ing plants or carelessness with gas
flames.

SAYS KEPFOOT BOARDED
20 YEARS FOR NOTHING
Mrs. Hunter Adds That Critic
Bought Cocktails, Too.

Mrs. Anna Belleville Hunter testified
again yesterday in the Supreme Court
in the $780, 900 suit for alienation OF ar
fections which her husband, Frederick
William Hunter, lawyer, has brought
against John Barrett Kerfoot, literary
critic and novelist, his former class
mate and brother-in-law.
For twenty years, said Mrs. Hunter
under cross-examination Kerfoot lived
with the Hunter family in this city
and in Freehold, n. j., but did not con-
tribute anything for board or lodging.
And the writer did the family market
ing with money which Mrs. Hunter
gave him from her 5000 month al
iowance from Hunter for household ex-
penses. For this purpose Mrs. Hunter
explains that she gave Kerfoot sll7.5O
month, and he never was required to
make an accounting of his expendi-
lures.
"Mr. Kerfoot sometimes bought cock
tails" said the witness, in reply to
question.
The trial goes on to-day.
