Court of Appeals
Asked to Save Life
Of Paul Chapman
Reversal of Judgment of
Conviction for Murder
and New Trial Asked
Move Fought by State
Kings County Prosecutor Ad-
mits Lack of Direct
Evidence

ALBANY, Oct 1o.-A plea for the
life of Paul Chapman, the sixteen-year-
old Brooklyn choir boy, now in the
death house at Sing Sing having been
convicted for the murder Of Harry
Regensburg, a Brooklyn stationer, was
made to the Court of Appeals this af
ternoon by his attorneys, Matthew w.
Wood and William R. Murphy. They
asked that the judgment of conviction
be reversed and new trial granted on
the ground of errors of law made by
the court in the first trial.
Mr.. Wood said the boys claim that
he repentcd and ran away from the
scene OF the crime when he found that
his confederate, Hughes Davis, who
was later killed by the police was bent
on violence, wss taken from the jury
by Justice Isaac M. Kapper, contrary
to law. He held that this is a question
of fact which should have been de-
termined by the jury, and that if the
boys claims were found true he could
not be proved guilty of murder.
Young Chapman said Mr.. Wood,
says that he desisted from going on
with the burglary before tLe murder
was committed by his confederate
When arrested he told the police that
he had left the premises before a shot
was fred. He told the same story to
Police Commissioner Cooley and later
to the District Attorney, all before
he was given the benefit of COUNSEL"
Mr.. Wood declared that the errors of
law at the first trial warranted new
trial.
Assistant District Attorney Harry G.
Anderson, of Kings County, who op-
posed the appeal, admitted that there
was no direct evidence to show that
Chapman fired any of the shots that
resulted in the death of Harry Regens-
burg, or that of his brother Samuel,
who was also killed on the fateful
night of the crime, or the wounding
of Mrs. Harry Regensburg. He, how
ever declared that from indirect evil
dence there was no doubt that Chap
man was present and took part in the
shooting.

Wilson's Reply to
Peace Note Called
Epic of Diplomacy
Kaiser's Chance for Ar
mistice Discounted at
Loan Luncheon
Merchants Task Set
Association Must Place Half
of New York's Quota, Chair
man Breed Says

The Kaiser's chance of obtaining
peace as long as he keeps a German
soldier on foreign soil was discounted
by four speakers to 1000 members of
the Merchants Association at fourth
Liberty Loan luncheon yesterday at the
Hotel Astor
After William C. Breed, the chair
man, announced that the 5,567 members
of the association would be held re-
sponslble for placing at least half Of
NETWORKS quota II 81 300, 900, 900 Of the
loan, DR.. George Edgar Vincent, presi-
dent Of the Rockefeller Foundation,
evoked prolonged cheers by declaring
that President Wilson's note in reply
to the latest German peace drive was
shrewd diplomatic move.
That Germany in asking for peace is
merely pleading for time in which to
recuperate its broken army was the
view expressed by Chauncey M. Depew
"The German government now
makes a second offer for peace" he
said. at says, IF you will grant an
armistice, we will negotiate for peace
on the terms laid down by President
Wilson, Has there been any change
of heart since the shell of the long
distance gun fell in the Church of ST.
Gevey and killed it's worshipers? Does
autocracy surrender any. of it's militar--
ism? Does it offer to dsband it's army?
No! With an nrm;stcc, it would feed
and recuperate it's army.
Benjamin Strong, governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank, said that the
spread of influenza should cause no re-
laxing in the campaign for the sue
cess of the Fourth Liberty Loan.

Excellent Performance o1
Tales of Hoffman" at
Park Theatre
By Crenville Vernon

Inc performance Of "The Tales of
Hoffman," last night at tho Park The
"tre was admirable in almost every re-
spect. 1T was far and away the best
tnlng yet done by the Society Of Amer
lcan Singers and, all in all, one of the
best performances Of the Onenbach
opera ever heard in New York. II the
Society of American Singers can con-
tInue to give such performances it will
speedily make itself place in New
fork's musical life, and even the bore
dom of its infinitely drepry "Daughter
of the Regiment" will be forgiven and
forgotten.
There was, of course, no Maurice
Renaud in the parts of the three
spirits Of evil, yet David Bispham ac-
compllshed a veritable creation as
the jew Coppelius, Carl Formes gave
oIstlnction to Dappertute and sang the
TMlrror Song" with rare skill, and
Henrl Scott was admirably dabolic
as DIR. Miracle. The title part was
taken by Orville Harold. Mr. Harold
III the days of Oscar Hammerstein pos
sessed one of the most beautiful tenor
voices ever given to man and precious
nttle art in its use. He then entered
into light opera and the beauty of his
voice largely departed. Later at the
Century Opera House he proved that
he had learned how to sing, and his
Romeo was not soon forgotten. But
last night his voice of eight years ago
returned to him, and his tones were
rich and powerful. Mr.. Herold has
style, a beautiful voice, great clarity
Of diction. and a fine character sense.
He is TO- daV an artist Of tha yfr,-
rank, fur and away the finest American
tenor.
Miss Ruth Miller was the Doll, and
both vocally and dramatically Of a high
order of excellence Miss Miller is al
ways fine actress, but last night she
had her voice. which was warm, full
and of excellent volume Her singing
was skilfull, her acting infections in
humor and charm. Miss Miller need
not fear comparison in the part with
either Alice Zeprilli, Emma Trentini,
or even with treda Hempel. Miss
Maggie Teyte was thrice winsome An
tonla, and sang her music exquisite
ly. cMiss Blanca Saroya was a hand
some Giulietta, while MINNIE Kathleen
Howard displayed two exhilarating rea-
sons why she should appear in breeches
as Nicklausse.
Richard Hagemon gave spirited yet
delicate reading of the score. and
Jacques Coini, who staged the opera in
old Manhattan days, showed that he can
stage it as we'll to-day. The chorus
sang we'll and with spirit. Mr.. Hin
shaw and The Society of American
Singers are to be congratulated In
cidentally the opera was sung in Eng
llsh, to an admirable translation by

Women Thrive on
Streetcar Work

Work on the streetcars and subway

according to Dr. Alice Bowman, of
Brooklyn, specialist in women's dis

Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to
study their health. DIR. Bowman passes

cants and watches their health through

vice." said DR.. Bowman yesterday; "a
marked change for the better in their
mental attitude, broadening in their
outlook on life, and perceptable physi-
cal improvement in those cases where
there was room for improvement.
"The girls like railroading. There
is action to it, motion, change of scene,
new faces, the perpetual touch and go
of humanity that sustains us all more
or less and makes life interesting.
There is, in short, very little of that
monotony which so unfortunately
characterizes the average work,
whether domestic or industrial, of the
average woman"

Recruits Improve
In Army and Navy

any quick thinking and bodies equipped
for the severest kind of work"
