crime. In the interests of justice a

DIES BORROWING OVER WAR
German Veteran Thought Strife Should
Have Been Avoided

Herman Schlecht, of 304 Hamburg
Avenue, Brooklyn, was lieutenant in
the German army during the Franco
Prussian War. When the present war
started he became morose. He told
friends the war should have been avoid
ed. Recently he confided to his land
lord, F. J. Bloeth, he did not believe
he would live to see the end of the war.
While returning from a reception
given by a German society early Sun
day morning he was stricken with
aroplexy and was taken to the German
Hospital. where he died. Yesterday
Bloeth, rummaging among his effects,
came upon written request that he be
buried with the German flag wound
about his body. His wish will be car
ried out.

U-53 WAR ZONE
Lafayette and Orduna
Bring CaruSO and
Vanderbilts

With all lights extinguished and
matches battened down, the Lafayette
and the Orduna zigzsgged safely
through the second war zone on this
sid of the Atlantic and reached port
yesterday with many notable passen-
gers aboard. The majority of them
knew nothing of the activities of the
German submarine U-53 in Western
waters until they arrived, but when on
Sunday evening orders were issued to
show no lights on deck, not even TO the
lighting Of a cigar or cigarette. specu-
lation was rife and officers were be-
scged with questions regarding the
extra precautions.
The Orduna utilized two crows nests
on the foremost, the higher one being
rugged up after word was received last
Monday of the German submarines
raids on Allied shipping. However,
officers on both liners reported that no
submarine had been sighted, and with
the exception Of two rough days and
several lifeboat drills for passengers
and crew the voyages had been without
unusual incident.

Strikers Plan to Use the
Ballot to Defeat Foes
of the Unions

In the face of almost normal trac-
tion conditions throughout the city,
striking streetcar men have set about
a plan to right their wrongs by means
of the ballot. As a first move in this
direction hurdy-gurdies being used for
the collection of strike funds yester-
day bore placards, saying: Watch
your step on Election Day. Union men
for union candidates"
But union officials have refused tenn
porarily to say which candidates have
aroused their enmity. Their follow
crs, however, announced freely that
Governor Whitman was blamed by the
strikers for the actiors of "his" Public
Service Commission, which held that
the Third Avenue employees had vio-
lated their contract and recommended
that they return to work at once.
Says Reports Were Held Back
Another complaint against the COM
mission is that the reports of its in
spectors, which are supposed to have
shown the traction system TO be IN
chaotic condition during the early days
of the strike, never were made public.
Several union men permitted 1t to
be known that a blacklist" of candi-
dates of both parties who have not
shown a friendly feeling for the unions
probably would be made public shortly
before Election Day. Meanwhile moth
ing definite is being said, as there is
still time for doubtful candidates to
show their sympathy with the strikers
cause.
Traffic conditions were so near nor
NAL yesterday that Inspector Schmitt-
berger took all uniformed men off the
subway and elevated and surface lines
while operating in the daytime. A fly
ing squadron of 900 men was retained
for strike duty, however. Some OF
these will be used in automobiles,
others on motorcycles, while few
will remain in reserve in station houses
TO handle such belated acts OF violence
as may demand police attention.

ELECTION DELAYS
WARDEN CHOICE.
Carter at Prison Praises
Reforms introduced
by Osborne

Thomas Mott Osborne's successor as
warden of Sing Sing prison will prob
ably not be selected until after elec-
ton. Meanwhile Deputy Warden CAL
vim Derrick, who had the backing of
the prison reform group for the place,
will be acting warden.
The decision not to appoint Mr..
Derrick to the place was announced
last night by James VI. Carter, super
intendent of prisons, after a confer
ence with Mr.. Derrick and others OF
the prison staff. He expressed "a per-
sonal loss in the withdrawal of Mr..
Osborne from the prison work. de-
claring he had given the ex-warden a
perfectly free hand"
81 came to Sing Sing" he said, "only
for the purpose of comforting with
Deputy Warden Derrick and to consider
with him the problems here. Condi-
tions at Sing Sing are entirely normal,
and the problem for US is TO find a
warden qualified to assume the task
here. At present | have no one in
mind for this appointment. Mr.. Derrick
is continuing in the capacity as deputy
and acting warden.
Should Continue Reforms
"The workable and practicable phases
of the Mutual Welfare League, as well
as all the other reforms that Mr..
Osborne has advocated and stood for,
should be continued at Sing Sing, and
should as we'll, so far as practicable,
be made operative in the other prisons
of the state.
"The superintendent feels a personal
loss in the withdrawal of Mr.. Osborne
from the prison work. As far as the
department is concerned, only the most
pleasant relations have existed between
Mr.. Osborne and the department.
81 gave Mr. Osborne a perfectly free
hand in the management Of Sing Sing,
having issued only three superintend-
ent's orders affecting the institution
one request that indiscriminate adj
vertising Of prisoners be eliminated;
second, that the question of escapes be
safeguarded; lastly, the order that llf--
ers and long-term men be confined
within the prison walls, this latter or
der being prompted and forced by the
fact that there had been fourteen es-
canes from Sing Sing during the pres
ent year, eight OF these having taken
place within the last two months"
Mr.. Carter spent the night in Sing
Sing, intending to finish his confer
ences this afternoon and return to Al
bany. He is the first superintendent
in many years 10 spend night in the
prison. To-day he expects to make
tour of the inner prison, and may ad-
dress the prisoners at noon in the mess
hall.
Confers with Friends
Mr.. Osborne spent most of yesterday
comforting with friends at the Hotel
Belmont and perfecting plans for his
campaign for prison reform. He will
make his first speech in Cooper Union
tomorrow night. Thursday night he
speaks in the Palace Casino, Harlem;
in Bryant Hall, Sixth Avenue, near For
ty-second Street, Friday night, and on
Saturday night in Syracuse. On Mon
day he speaks in Buffalo. He declared
yesterday that he was out Of politics

LAWYER SPOILED
BATONYI'S MATCH
Whip Sought to Wed Mrs.
Maria Bellman, Says
Attorney

Aurel Batonyi, Hungarian whip and
divorced husband of the former Mrs
Burke Roche, daughter Of Frank Work,
who left an estate OF about SIS 5000, 600,
came near marrying another American
woman OF wealth. But this time some
investigating by William NJ. Sullivan,
a lawyer, whose client, Mrs. Maria Bell
man, was the prospective bride, spoiled
the match, for on his report the al
fair was declared off.
The engagement and its denouement
became public yesterday through re-
port which Egerton l.. Winthrop, as
referee, filed in the Surrogates' Court,
approving a claim for $4,000, made by
Mr.. Sullivan for services TO Mrs Bell
man, who died on July s, 1914.
After Mrs. Bellman had obtained a
divorce from Edmund r. Bellman in
1909, with custody of her son Donald,
she called on Mr.. Sullivan, and asked
him to close her affairs here, as she
was going to marry Aurel Batonyi, and
would live on his estate in Hungary.
Lawyer Advised Investigation.
Mrs. Batonyi had obtained her di-
vorce from the whip in the same year.
Mr.. Sullivan advised Mrs. Bellman
to defer her marriage TO Batonyi until
he could make inquiries about him
abroad. And for this purpose the law
yer went to Hungary.
His report is not a part of the rec
ord in the present Surrogates' Court
proceeding, but it was sufficient to end
the engagement, and Mrs. Bellman ex-
pressed her gratitude for the service
the attorney had rendered.
Mrs. Bellman left most Of her estate
to her son, who died three months after
her death in 1914, from injuries sus-
tanned in an automobile accident His
father objected to the claim of Mr.
Sullivan.
Told of Matrimonial Affairs.
Frank Work was much displeased
when his daughter married Batonyi,
and in his will and fifteen codicils he
cut her off, although providing liber-
ally for her sons. Throughout the will
and codicils he kept apace with the
matrimonial affairs of his daughter and
Batonyi, and so worded the instru-
ments that by no possibility could the
Hungarian whip get any part of the
estate. Finally, in one codicil, Mr..
Work left it to the discretion of his
executors what share Mrs. Batonyi
was to receive. Her share was fixed at
s1,l31 900.
Batonyi sued Mr. Work, his father
in-law, for the alienation of his wife's
affections, but the suit was dismissed
because the whip failed to prosecute it.
