Childe Hassan, Artist,
Mistaken for a Spy
He Is Freed After Establish
ing Identity; Naturalized
German Held

Chlde Hassam. the water color
artist, yesterday had occasion to COM
mend the vigilance of the police in
guarding New York from spies. Mr..
Hassam did not offer his congratuIa-
tions until after he had been taken into
custody as spy suspect and arraigned
before the Federal authorities.
The artist was making a sketch of a
camouflaged merchant vessel in the
Hudson yesterday afternoon from
Riverside Drive, near Eightysixth
Street, when two policemen demanded
the drawing 1t was surrendered and
examined by the police, who pro-
nounced it pretty fair work. Mr.. Has
sam tried to explain that he was an
American citizen. but the police knew
that that was Just the way spies try
to get away when caught They cs-
corted him to the West Tooth Street
station.
Then they went to the New York
Roger B. Hull asccrtained that Mr..
Hassam was citizen, and that the
case was not for his bureau. Then the
artist was led before Assistant United
States Attorney Benjamin Mathews for
examination. Here he established his
Identity and was released.
The artist assured the police that he
had rather enjoyed the experience. He
left the Federal Building convinced
that German spy would find no peace
in New York.
At the same time Mr.. Hassam was
taken in custody, George Steinke, a
retired business man from Cincinnati,
who lives at the Hotel Martinique, was
also held for taking photographs of
the same ship. He said that, although
he was born in Germany, he was a
naturalized citizen and that he was
taking the pictures for pleasure. He
was sent in custody to the hotel to get
his naturalization papers, and when
they are produced he will be released.
The plates he had taken will be de-
veloped by the Federal thoritics.

"Pirating' - of Labor
Drastic Regulatory Measures to
Prevent Decentralization Of
Industry Considered
I Staff COyreSpONU1cnce

WASHINGTON, April le.-The War
Industries Board to-day commenced a
series of conferences with officials of
the Department of Labor in an attempt
to relieve the labor disorgani2ation de-
veloped in several war industries
through shifting Of workers from one
industry to another. Chairman
Baruch admitted that considerable evil
dence has been laid before the board
that manufacturers are bidding against
one another for labor without regard
for the resulting decentralization. One
illustration cited was the withdrawal Of
machinists from a Pacific Coast ship
yard by Middle Western refrigerator
car manufactory by protfers Of higher
wages.
4 national wage scale for the sew
era trades or drastic regulatory meas
ures to prevent 'pirating" of labor may
be necessary within the next few
months to prevent decentralization of
the labor forces of several important
war industries, it was stated.

Hoan to Veto Plan
OF Milwaukee to
Aid Liberty Loan
Socialist Says City Must Be
Protected by Legislature
if 1t Helps
Especial Correspondence

MILWAUKEE, April 16.-Mayor
Hoan. Socialist, announced to the City
Council to-day that he intends to veto
the resolution adopted by the Council
for the purchase of S500,000 worth Of
Liberty bonds. He asked that the res
olution be amended so as to provide
that the Legislature be asked to legal
ize the proposed purchase, and that the
city be reimbursed temporarily for the
money drawn for the bonds out of
profits made as result of the war by
persons and corporations.
The Mayors statement follows:
with reference to your resolution
to purchase $50O,000 worth of Liberty
bonds, | desire to inform you that, in
order that the same may be passed in
such form that | may sign it. it will
be necessary to amend tine same, or
to pass at the same meeting such amed-
ments as will direct the city attorney
to draw such measures as will legalize
the purchase of said bonds; and, fur
thcrmore, to carefully work out such
measures, to be introduced in the Leg
islature, which will provide for reim-
bursting the city, unless said bonds are
redeemed, for such sums of money or
deficit as may be created in the city
treasury by reason of said purchase,

persons or business organizations
where profits are in excess of those
made before the war.
at is my purpose to serve notice on
you that unless you so provide. | am
in duty bound to veto said resolution,
as | desire to put the responsibility
squarely on the shoulders of the Mayor
and on the members of the Common
Council ! was elected on the promise
that l stood pledged to the principle
that profiteering should pay the cost
of the war, and l will not violate my
pledge to the nearly $4,000 citizens who
voted for me- If the resolution is
amended. as herein suggest, | shall
gladly sign the same"
The Mayors message was the cause
of much heated discussion, and one of
the Polish aldermen declared that the
talk of the Socialists about opposing
the report because they say it is ille-
gal is the "rankest bunk"
"They are against the war. They
don't want the United States to lick
the Kaiser" he said. Another declared
that the amendment looked like a slur
on the government. and indicated that
the city was afraid that it would not
get its money back. The eleven Socialist
aldermen stood with the Mayor to a
man. but all the twenty-five non-parti-
sans stood out against him.
