Crowds in Rain
Watch Women
Make Bandages
Surgical Dressings Committee
Establishes Workroom in
Fifth Avenue Store

Three women in the white aprons and
flowing white hcaddress of the war
nurse, sat in the window Of Best's
Fifth Avenue store yesterday and made
bandages. All day. in spite of the driv-
ing rain, crowds stood watching them.
and a steady stream of visitors to the
fourth floor hospital room gave evil
dence of the interest in the work.
Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard, chairman
of the National Surgical Dressings
Committee, presided in the workroom,
showing shoppers how to roll bandages:
A large committee assisted her. and
took turns in the window, among them
being Mrs. Ledyard Stevens, Miss
Gladys Is. Mumford. Mrs. John Horner,
Mrs. Ives Douglas, Mrs. Berkeley Hos

Similar workrooms have been estab-
lshed in Lord e. Taylor's, Koch's, and
Loeser's, in Brooklyn. The Surgical
Dressings Committee was formed in
the fall of 1914. and has sent 13,0O0,-
600 bandsges and gauze pads to the

Women Start State
War Service Work

The machinery of organizing the
women of New York State for war ser
vice was started yesterday in the Hotel
Aston, when Mrs. William Grant Brown,
state chairman, sent a letter to every
Mayor in New York asking him 10 ap-
point a local chairman. This will mean
that all cities will share the RESPONSE
biity and the honor OF putting their
women's organizations on war basis
and that their efforts will all MT into
the programme mapped out for them in
Washington.
No new organizations will be created
by the state committee, and no organ
izations now doing relief work will be
wiped out. provided they measure up to
the government requirements.
I'VE are Uncle Sans ladies from
Missouri" laughed Mrs. Brown yester-
day. mo organization can write 20 US
that they have 100 women wireless
operators or ambulance drivers and ex-
pect us 20 put them down on the gov
eminent records without investigation.
Another important branch OF our work
will be arousing patriotism among
women. We shall send out lecturers
and have exercises in the public schools
to stir up the people in towns where
they don't seem TO realize yet that we
are at war"
The women's committee, although ap-
pointed by the Federal government, is
totally without funds. IL is facing the
problem not only of organizing the
women of the state. but of raising
money 10 buy postage stamps and pay

Actors and Managers
Agree on Contract

The Actors Equity Association, after
its annual meeting yesterday in the
Hotel Aston, announced that an agree
ment had been reached with the
theatrical managers whereby contract
ual differences would be adjudicsted
by joint committee Of managers and
actors. The success of the association
in settling a number of disputes, it
was said, had brought about recogni-
ton by the managers and a willing
ness to frame standard uniform
theatrical contract.
The association, which was formed
four years ago, and now includes 5000
members, has been working since its
inception for a new form of contract,
with pay for rehearsals and more
favorable wardrobe clause. Affiliation
with the American Federation of Labor
has been proposed at times, but it is
considered probable that no further
efforts will be made in this direction.
All officers were reelected, including
Francis Wilson as president. About
six hundred members attended.

Can't Break Leases
On Call to Fight
Draft Will Not Serve as Ex-
cuse for Tenants, Is Rul-
ing by Knox

Several New York property owners
appealed yesterday to John c. Knox,
Assistant United STATES Attorney, to
rule whether unexpired leases could be
nullified by tenants who may be called
to serve the government under the Sc
lective draft.
az know OF no law" said Mr.. Knox,
(which releases from liability any man
who is a soldier. No contract can be
abrogated on the ground that one of
the parties happens to be drafted for
service"
1.-The failure Of conscripts to pay
rent required by leases will undoubt-
eddy become one of the serious prob
lens of the war;" said Birch Helms,
secretary of the Advisory Council Of
Real Estate Interests. "Mr. knox's
opinion is sound, of course, but in
cases of real distress landlords will
temper justice with mercy. That will
be one way in which they can do their
bit"
Allan Robinson, president of the City
and Suburban Homes Company, and
Alfred f. Marling, president OF Horace
s. Ely e. Co., which controls many East
Side tenements, agreed that it would
be impossible to carry out the letter OF
the law in cases of distress.
Landlords are fearing that tenants
may take advantage of the situation to
break their leases wantonly. In such
cases the law will be pressed said
Mr.. Marling.

DR.. Hideyo Noguchi, japanese bac-
teriologist of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute for Medical Research. who is down
with typhoid fever in Mount Sinai
Hospital, was reported last night very
seriously ill.," His temperature was
said to be somewhat lower than on
Sunday.
The scientist complained of poor
health one month ago, but insisted on
continuing his research work connect

disease. Nearly two weeks ago he. was
sent TO bed. and on Thursday was re-

were unable to say yesterday how DR..
Noguchi contracted typhoid, but scout

Drama
Strindberg's "Pariah" at the
Comedy-Julia Arthur
in Vaudeville

In the course OF a revival bill at the
Comedy last night the Washington
Square Players turned aside briefly to
include Strindberg's "Pariah,' fasci-
mating little play, which had few per-
formances at the Berkeley r couple of
seasons ago. but which has been other
wise rarely acted in recent years.
"pariah" is merely a conversation be-
tween two men, but ID is artfully con-
triyed and tells cumulatively dramatic
story. 1t is brief for brains, a mental
bout, in which the weaker is vanquished
by the stronger. This. Of course, is q
familiar Strindberg theme. but in
"Pariah" il is somewhat differently
treated.
By watching closely the chance slips
and overt acts of his acquaintance of
two weeks the stronger man reads the
others life story, ferrets out his weak
ness and is able to put MIN easily TO
rout when the time comes. Himself ad-
mittedly a criminal, he lays bare the
criminal past of the other, and retains
at all times the mastsr hand. The only
fault to be found is that he does it
just little too easily; the second man
is made unnecessarily weak. This was
emphasized last night by the playing OF
Ralph Roeder, who labored under a
heavy and obvious mantle Of guilt from
the rise of the curtain. At times it
seemed such an unequal contest that
one was tempted to ask the referee to
stop it.
Strindberg wrote "Pariah" while he
was under the spell Of Edgar Allan Poe,
according to biographer, and il is on
record that he was particularly i'm
pressed by "The Gold Bug" "Pariah.'
il is true, contains suggestion of this
impression, but il runs more TO the
kind of deductlve reasoning later
brought to fine point by Conan Doyle.
The student of Holmes. although he
cannot but be held by much of the rea-
soning in "Pariah," is not unlikely to
SCOT at the simplicity Of one or two of
its devices-the inverted volume, for
example.
Arthur Hohl gives good perform
ance as the victor, but Mr.. Roeder had
hardly the necessary subtlety.
Edward Massey's bright satire, "Plots
and Playwrights," returns to the Com
Guy Sldkt dlbti hOoCHNt VA OhAy
three weeks, and Another Way Out"
is also revived.
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom,
Julia Arthur entered vaudeville at the
Palace yesterday with defamation
which must have been heard in Berlin.
Miss Arthur's vehicle is not a sketch,
but defamation. IL Is entitled LIB
erty AAame," and it was written by
Roland Burke Hennessy, probably on
the 1913 out of Paterson. The setting
is an ingenious and striking reproduc-
ton of the Statue of Liberty, and Miss
Arthur as the goddess was a majestic
figure and shouted her lines well.
The defamation and the accompany
ing portraits call for the onlooker to
make a great public parade OF his pa
triotism, and the audience at the matt
nee responded in a way that must have
been highly gratifying to the manage
ment.

Reduced Passenger Service

Albany, May 2s.-The upstate Public
Service Commission, fearful Of too
hasty elimination of passenger trains
important to the business of the COM
munities of the state, has sent letter
to all railroads within its jurisdiction
urging ample notice TO the public be-
fore passenger service is cut in ac--
cordance with the recommendations OF
the American Railway Associations
Committee on National Defence.
Full and free discussion in advance
of the proposed changes will. in the
opinion of the commission, result in

Miss Rankin, in Her
Maiden Speech, Wins
Support for Women
Montana Member Takes Floor
in Food Bill Debate
Amid Applause
fFro1 To Tribune Bgresul

Washington. May 2S.-The maiden
speech OF Representative Jeanette
Rankin, Of Montana. in the House OF
Representatives was made to-day. She
succeeded during the debate or the
food bill in having adopted an amend
ment which provides that in making
the proposed food survey the services
OF women shall be used in so far as is
practicable.
Women must take an intelligent and
responsible share in the worlds work.
said Miss Rankin, "if we are TO see that
all the people are to be fed all the
time.
sour higher educational institutions
have been turning out large body OF
women who are trained 10 deal with
fundamentals from a scientific stand
point. We have in these women new
source of service which we should not
waste at this time. | feel sure that
these women will be capable and faith
full in doing this constructive work. 1t
would be to the advantage of the gcv-
ernment to utilize the services OF
trained women in the place where they
would count the most for the country
during this present crisis, and also in
the future.
No Need for Hunger
ave know that with our unparalleled
resources and improved methods Of pro-
duction there is no need that any one
should go hungry. Women must take
an intelligent and responsible share in
the worlds work If we are 20 see that
all the people are fed all the time.
"The work, such as gathering infor-
nation and preventing waste, includes
activities that we have been accustomed
70 seeing women engaged in, and when
these activities are so closely related
TO the home as is the food question
women are especially well fitted by
! their training and experience 10 do this
work. 1t is self-evident that women
are going to fill many positions that
have been filled by men in the past. and
this is one of the places where they can
be used effectively.
Would Inspire Confidence
women officials, with their UNDER
standing and sympathy for home prob
lens, will inspire a confidence in the
home woman and will encourage her TO
cooperate with the government in this
emergency. Women as housekeepers
must learn to think of food in carload
lots, in transit, in storage, in the
board of trade and in the national mar
kets, as well as in the small portions
on the family table.
"By using women officials 10 aid in
the work we will concentrate the atten-
ton of all women on the larger bear
ings Of the food problem"
Great applause greeted Miss Rankin
when she rose to make her first speech
in the House, and even more applause
followed as she concluded. The cloak
room and the Hobbies were deserted
when the members heard that the lady
from Montana was to speak Her audi
ence was the largest that has attended
the debates on the food bill.

Freight Rate Rise
Would Ruin Food
Producers, They Say

Washington, May 2s.-Agricultursl
and livestock interests. protesting TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the railroads proposal for 10
per cent general increase in freight
rates, declared that such a revision not
only would unjustly burden food pro-
drcers, but would handicap seriously
the whole food production campaign
initiated by the government as a war
measure.
During the days hearing represen-
tatives of the American National Live
stock Association and of the National
Council of the Farmers Cooperative
Association submitted a mass of evil
dence calculated to show that stock
raisers and farmers already are bear
ing unusually heavy expenses and
could not make supporting profit II
freight increase were added.
Speaking for the livestock associa-
ton, r. w. Tomlinson told the COM
mission that Western cattle producers
will have to get 20 per cent more than
last year for their product, even under
present conditions, in order to make a
living. Even then, he said, many
cattlemen doubtless would have to go
out of business, and with an increased
freight rate to market the effect was
sure to be felt in decrease in meat
production. .,
Both Mr.. Tomlinson and Clifford
Thorne. who appeared for the farmers
association, pointed out in detail how
the price of everything entering into
grain and meat production had in
creased. The Middle Western farmers,
said Mr.. Thorne, who would have to
pay much of the proposed rate increase,
now have an average yearly income or
only about $3.50.
MIR. Thorne. and other shippers rep
resentatives urged that rates be read
justed rather than increased by fiat

By permission Of the House, the letter
was read, and the amendment to the
war tax revenue bill was lost"
Mr.. Redield was convinced. Mr..
Rothschild thought, of the justice of
the jewellers position. On their part
the jewellers agreed to manufacture no
more platinum meshbags. cigarette
cases or other large pieces for which
other metals could be used. In doing
this. they said, they had the word OF
the Secretary of Commerce that they
were going further than could be ex-
pected."
Platinum was n necessity for fine

thought the war a good opportunity to
