Artist Is Accused
BY Girls Mother
Spaniard Is Held on a Tech
nical Charge of
Extortion

Childe De Rohan D'Harcourt, thirty
four years old, an artist, having a
studio at 16 East Ninth Street, was
locked up in the Mercer Street police
station last night on technical charge
of extortion. He is accused of having
demanded and accepted $25 from Mrs.
Julia Bowie, of 27 North Old Street,
Trenton, N. j., who came to New York
in search of her fourteen -year-old
daughter, Thelma, who ran away from
home on July 16, last.
According to the story told by the
police the missing girl was found in
Bellevue Hospital, where she had been
admitted under the name of Frances
Kelly. She had given her age as nine
teen and said she lived at 426 Sixth
Street. Mrs. Bowie had been taken to
the hospital by DHarcourt after she
claimed to have given $25 in marked
bills to him, all of which, the police
said, was found on him when he was
placed under arrest in the reception
room at the hospital.
Mrs. Bowie said she obtained D'Har-
courts name and address from letter,
written to him by the girl and which
the child's grandmother, had inter
cepted. The $25 was paid, Mrs. Bowie
that he would have to give it to the
person who knew the whereabouts of
tho girl.
DHarcourt told the police he was
born in Madrid, Spain, and came to this
city only three months ago. He said
his sole acquaintance with the Bowie
girl consisted of one time he had found
her in a restaurant on Sixth Avenue
and had bought her something to eat

Policeman Rescues
Mother and Child
At 9Th Ave. Blaze
Passes Girl to Fireman and
Then Carries Woman
Down Ladder

Heroic work by Patrolman Henry
L'Hereux, of the West 135th Street po-
lice station, saved the lives of Mrs.
Catherine McGinnis and her two and q
half year old daughter Frances late
last night, when fire swept through the
top floor Of the five story apartment
house at 1915 Eighth Avenue, imperil-
ling the lives of the fifteen families
occupying the building. A crowd of
several thousand persons who watched
the rescue cheered the plucky bluecoat
repeatedly when he finally brought
mother and child in safety to the side
walk
The fire, which started in a rear
apartment on the top floor, was discov-
cred by Paul Schmidt, who lives on the
fourth floor. He rushed to the street
to turn in an ALARM. On his way back
to the apartment house he encountered
Policeman LHereux, and together they
rushed through the burning building,
arousing the tenants.
Mrs. McGinniss, with her husband
and daughter occupied an apartment
in the front on the top floor. MIR. Nc
Ginniss at the first alarm guided his
wife and daughter to the fire escape
at the rear The escape is inclosed in
a small, well-like cage.
In the rush to reach the street the
McGinniss child missed her footing and
would have fallen to the sidewalk but
for her mother. The shock threw Mrs
McGinnlss off her balance and she be-
came wedged in the escape.
Policeman L'Hereux found them in
this predicament. Throwing his coat
over his head he rushed through the
flames and smoke and reached the fire
escape from a window on the fourth
floor. Then, with flames beating in his
face, he took the girl, and after passing
her to a fireman raised himself up
until he was able to place Mrs. Nc
Ginniss on his shoulders. In this fash
ion he carried her to the street.
Aside from the McGinnss family all
the occupants of the building managed
to reach the street.

situation has precpitated dramatic
controversy between the military

particularly reflected in Cabinet circles,

Urges First Aid Course

A compulsory course in Red Cross
firt aid to the injured is urged by
Henry M. Toch, of 32O Fifth Avenue,
in letter to President Somers of the
Board Of Education.
81 am convinced" said Mr.. Toch.
"sthat it should be compulsory for
boys and girls to take this coure
prior to graduating from public
high school or public college and no
diploma given unless an examination
is passed.
Such study gives not only won
derful mastery over self, but it gives
a knowledge through which one is fitted
to save many a life. Terrible as this
war Is it brings some important les
sons. First aid to the injured is an
essential of the highest order, either
in peace or war, in air raids or explo-
sions. In fact, in every day life occa-
sions arise whereby this wonderful
knowledge and training fits us to be
useful and helpful"

:. WASHINGTON, July 24-The mob-
lization of the Russian army. ms an
nounced In reports to-day from Mos
COW via Amste erdam, is not regarded as
matter OF serious moment by State
department officials. In some quarters
it was regarded as simply another eff
fort to raise the draft army which
Leon Trotzky. Bolshevik Minister of
War. declared to be the only solution
to the military chaos of the Russian
republic.
Russian government might send its
new army to drive out the Allied and
American forces in the Mourmansk
peninsula. but it was explained that
this would be almost impossible as it
would mean the transportation of the
army 800 miles over extremely difficult
territory without means of supply.
The Bolsheviki assured the German
government that its own army would
protect the German embassy in Moscow
when Germany asked to be allowed to
send battalions to that city after the
assassination of Count Won Mirbach
At that time the government had no
army except on paper, and it is be-
lieved here that the mobilization on
July was to make good the pledge to
Germany.

troprrisht J9ls. by the Tribune Associa.ion)
LONDON, July 24.-It was learned
today that Count Won Mirbach's sue
,.ssor as the German representative in
Russia will be Karl Helfferich, Secre-
.arv of the Treasury, one of the young
at and ablest members of the govern
wont Helfferich entered the govern
nent's service seventeen years ago as a
snecialist on colonial economic topics.
The successor of the assassinated
count will follow the same course as
his predecessor. AS had been antici-
mated, the German government did not
make the murder Of Won Mirbach pre-
text for further penetration into
Russia, because Ludendorff could not
we'll afford the diversion, and the mill
tarv Developments of the last week pre-
clude the possibility of any action in
that direction.
Helfferich's S appointment means that
Germany intends to attempt to domi-
nate Russia financially as we'll as eco
nomically. Germany is on the ground
in Russia, and Helfferich will strive
desperately to reorganize the country's
finances Germany probably will deal
literally with Russian business men,
with the idea of strengthening the Ger
man-Russian economic relations.
Helferich's appointment follows i'm
medately after the entrance Of Won
Hintze to the Foreign Office, and will
silence g lot of criticism, even in Ger
many, regarding the BrestLitovsk
treaty.
As Germany's military strength
weakens it is reasonable to expect her
Russian policy TO grow more liberal,
and this is something with which the
Allies must reckon

Saxony Socialists Fewer
Decrease Attributed to Army
Service and Party Split

The membership Of the Socialist
party in Saxony has decreased from
177OOo in 1914 to $4,000 paying mem
bers at present. According to a Dres-
den dispatch in the Berlin "Tage-
blatt" of June 10. copy of which has
been received here. the decrease was
due to the number of Socialists serving
in the army and to the split in the So
cialist party of Germany.
Deputy Gradnauer, speaking at the
convention of the Saxon Socialists, said
that the circulation of Socialist news
papers in Germany had increased from
618,000 copies on April /, 1917. to 1872
600 on April /, 1918. The number Of
