Drug Victim Held
On Jewel Theft
E. L. Rowe Accused of Steal
ing Mothers Gems;
Actress Arrested

Edward L. Rowe, who fell a victim
to the drug habit years ago when he
was head Of a sanatorium in Dayton,
Ohio, was arrested on his mothers
complaint last night on a charge of
stealing her jewels. The arrest was
made in the apartment of his mother
at 464 Riverside Drive. The jewels
are valued at $4,000.
After arresting Rowe, who said he
was lawyer, the detectives went to
the apartment of Lillian Rose, vaude-
vile actress, at 81 Cathedral Park
way, and placed her under arrest on a
charge of grand larceny.
According to the detectives, Rowe
admitted taking the gems and said he
gave them TO the Rose woman, who
pawned them. They consisted of
brooch set with fifty diamonds, a dia-
mond ring with fifteen stones valued
at $1,000, an unset liamond, and
trinkets Of lesser value.
Mrs. Rowe missed them at about
the time her son disappeared from
her apartment. She reported their
loss TO the ponce, ana laSt nlgnt When
her son telephoned that he was coming
to see her she had detectives waiting
for him.
The detectives found the actress in
bed. She told them that she was sick.
An ambulance surgeon, who was called,
corroborated her statement and she was
permitted to remain in bed. patrolman
being posted in her apartment.
Rowe was locked up in the West
123d Street police station. According
to the police, his father was Supreme
Court justice in a Western state. Less
than a year ago, the young man was
arrested in Philadelphia, charged with
stealing an overcoat to get money 10
buy drugs. Pawntickets for four other
overcoats were found in his possession.
81 acquired the drug habit sixteen
years ago." he told the detectives on
that occasion. 81 was then superin-
tendent of one of the biggest and best
sanatoriums in Dayton. Ohio. Since
that time il has steadily grown worse.
Morphine kept me from getting a job
and morphine taught me how to steal"
When Mrs. Rowe learned that her
son was under arrest in Philadelphia
she went there and engaged counsel
in an effort to obtain his release.

To end the troubles Of local boards
that have been asked TO leave their
headquarters in various school build
ing next Monday, when the fall term
begins, Mr.. Conkling informed the vari-
Gus chairmen yesterday that they could
engage small rooms elsewhere If neces-
sary.
In most cases, Mr. Conkling said, the
Board of Education was arranging 10
give local boards smaller space in the
school buildings, and that the curtail-
ment would not cause any incOnven-
ience at present, as nearly all the boards
have finished their examinations for
the first draft.
Many Appeals Rejected
In a four-hour session yesterday
afternoon the district board passed on
739 cases. Decisions of local boards
we're affirmed in 293 instances and re-
versed in 1872. Twelve discharges for
six months were granted to men on in
dustrial grounds and seventeen were
denied. OF the 295 pro forma appeals
from the Office of the Provost Marshal
General, only four were upheld.
Consideration Of the appeal Of Henry
L. Gallagher, of 245 Lee Avenue,
Brooklyn, on the ground that he was a
student of divinity led to an examina-
tion of the intricacies of academic life
and of theological practice.
Louis Marshall, who reported on the
case, recommended that the appeal be
denied, because Gallagher was a stu
dent of Brooklyn Catholic college at
the time the conscription law passed
which is not a recognized divinity
school.
He admitted, however, that Gallagher
lad declared his intentions to become a
priest several years ago and that mis-
studies in the Brooklyn college were
preparatory to his divinity school
training. Moreover, it was brought
out that the Catholic hierarchy
allowed the last two years of his col
lege work TO count toward his divinity
degree. Judge James A. Delehanty de-
clared he believed a liberal interpreta-
tion of the law would exempt this man,
but the board overruled him on the
ground that Gallagher was not a stu
dent at recognized theological or di-
the use of discretion was not permis-
sible.
The board was perplexed when the

Pacifsts Are Assoiled
By DR.. Henry Uan Dyke
On Lafayette Day

Repudiating the "fatuous friends Of
a false peace" DR.. Henry van Dyke
thrilled an audience of distinguished
French, Belgian, English, Russian,
Italian and American military officers
and citizens gathered in the Alder
manic Chamber at City Hall yesterday
afternoon in comnemoration Of La
fayette Day and the Battle Of the
Marne.
Following short addresses by Mayor
Mitchell and Judge Willard Bartlett,
Dr.. van Dyke vigorously declared
against a stalemate, word which he
said "was not in Lafayette's vocabu-
larv," and denied the mistaken re-
ports that speak Of France as already
bled white
DR.. van Dyke said, in part:
wn this time Of trial the faint
hearted are once more talking OF a
drawn battle and the fatuous friends
Of a false peace are calling for con-
ference and compromise. Between
truth and treachery there can be no
conference, between democracy and
autocracy no stalemate. There is but
one thing for us to do-fght on until
we reach a peace worth having.
Remember, pray you, that the
chivalry of Lafayette-his enthusiasm,
his devotion, his courage, his tenacity
Of noble purposes the embodiment
Of the real spirit of France. Dismiss
from your minds the silly Berlin talk
about a decadent race.
"We Shall Get Them"
81 come from the worldfamous fort
ress of Verdun, and swear to you no
drop of blood that falls there is white;
IL is all red. No man who fights there
dreams of surrender or understands
the abominable word stalemate. Their
thoughts are of victory. liberty, peace,
az were Lafayette's. And the words
with which they bade me farewell were
the immortal phrase 'On les aura'-we
shall get them!"
DIR. van Dyke concluded with an
original poem, The Name OF france
after which DR.. John Finley read a
poem and Mr.. Andre Tardieu respond
ed TO the speeches in behalf OF France.
Messages were read from President

dor Sharp and Nicholas Murray Butler.
Mayor Mitchell said:
ut is one Of those extraordinary ac-
cidents of fate that on the birthday OF
Lafayette, who did as much TO secure
the liberty and independence Of the
people of the United States, there
should have been fought upon the soil
of France the battle which was TO de-
termine not only the liberties OF
France, not alone the liberties of the
self governing nations of Europe. but
which, We confidently believe, deter
mined also the maintenance Of the lib
critics of the United States.
1--WE are all engaged in a mighty un-
dertaking. the greatest that the civil
ized world mas ever seen. These ma
tiors that you represent and our ma
tion are banded together TO see that
democracy, that self-government, that
human liberty, shall not perish from
the earth
Responds to Mayor.
In his response to the Mayor, Andre
Tardieu said:
"To our soldiers who have been
fighting through three whole years,
TO your soldiers who are soon to hght
side by side with ours, let us go on
telling steadily again and again why
they are fighting. Let us, IN this way
keep up their moral strength. Let us
remind them that there has been IN
Europe a nation who, though enjoying
an overfulness of all the riches of
peace, with unceasing guile planned
world war and let it loose
