Grand Opera Tenor
as IabOrer

Is Urelio BodiM an artist or Is he
merely a singer?
He was second tenor with the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company last sea-
son, and came here from Italy on
FRIDAY to play minor roles and sing
in the chorus of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. Connosieurs and
representatives of both the Chicago
and Metropolitan organizations say he
is an artist, and Mr. Bodini him self
has always believed himself such.
Immigration authorities at Ellis
Island, nevertheless, finally decided
Yesterday he was merely singer and
must go back to Italy. They based
their action on the contract labor laws
as applied to aliens, which provide.
among other things, that singers are
lnadmissable. Artists, however, are
exempt.
P. A. Baker, superintendent at the
Island, declared that Bodini's grade
was fixed by committee of three in
spectors with no particular preten-
slons to musical Judgment.
William J. Guard, representative of
the metropolitan Opera Company. says
that the action of the Immigration Of
iicials seems funny and Inconsistent. -
and that ne will go down to Ellis
Island this morning and make an Ell
Tort to demonstrate TO the officials
th"t bodlni IS really an artist.

Ru1nanian Looting
OF Hungary Again
Reported to Paris
Peace Council Told Shoes
We're Taken From Orphan
Asylum; Hope for Settle
ment of Dispute Revived

PARIS, Sept 19.-Advices Of further
requisitioning in Hungary by the
Rrmanian troops Of occupation have
been received by the Supreme Council.
On September 10, the report stated,
the Rumanians requisitioned 71,428
pairs of shoes from the orphan asylum
in Budapest. Of these the great bulk
were shipped to Rumania, only 5000
pairs being left in the orphanage. The
orphanage society expressed the fear
that these also would be taken under
the guise Of military acquisitions,
leaving the orphans shoeless for the
winter.
Other cases Of alleged looting were
reported.
Relations Moro Cordial
Despite these reports, the situation
between Rumania and the Entente APP
pears to be brighter. A cordial meet
ing was held by Stephen Pichon, French
Foreign Minister; Nicholas Msu,
Rumanian representative in Paris, and
NJ. Vaida, one of the Rumanian peace
delegation, yesterday, the Rumanians
expressing the desire Of Rumania to
safeguard their country's national dig
nifty, but to uphold her avowed inten-
ton to remain on friendly relations
with the Entente. President Poincare
also received the Rumanian delegates.
The Rumanian representatives are
still without official confirmation Of
the reported fall of the ministry, headed
by ]. J. 0. Bratiano. They say that
he was still in office September g.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The election of
Arthur Henderson, the labor leader. to
the House Of Commons yesterday at
Widnes is expected to hasten the down
fall Of the Lloyd George Ministry. The
result is considered all the more sig
nifcant because Widncs has been re-
garded as conservative stronghold
for the last thirty years. The returns
show turnover of 5000 voters out
Of constituency of about 10000 since
the January election, when Lloyd

Of 1854.

Mr.. Henderson always has been

election at Widnes the government sig
niicantly >rcfrained from sending
Cabinet Ministers to oppose his candi-

outstanding figure in British politics
and many Of his former opponents have
swung around to his side.
Commenting on the election, the con-

I "The adoption of Henderson at
Widnes marks the breakaway from "a
local man idea and his capture of
seat finds place on the labor benches
