General Vanderbilt Appeals to
Crowd at Metropolitan to
Aid i'm the Drive

The metropolitan Opera House was
crowded last night for testimonial
programme to the Salvation Army
lassies who served the soldiers in
France. Many of the girls who were
overseas occupied boxes. The front
seats in the orchestra were reserved
for $50 wounded soldiers. Leading ac-
tors and actresses provided the enter
tainment. Ten per cent of the pro-
ceeds will go to the Actors Fund of
America. The remainder will be de
voted to the Salvation Army drive for
$13,Oo0,000, which begins May 19.
An appeal was issued yesterday by
Brigadier General Cornelius Wander
bilt urging the city to come to the aid
of the Salvation Army and fill the
quota of $1,000. .000-the city's share of
the $13,000,00O
General Vanderbilt, who is chairman
of the Greater New York Committee
referred to the valuable service the
Salvation Army rendered in France, and
urged that the nation show its graft
tude by a generous response to the or
ganization's need for money for it's
work at home.

The Barn, New Theatre,
Closed by the Police
Duncan MacDougall Charged
With Violation of the
License Law

A promising performance Of Anatole
Frances "Crainquebille" was cut short
last night when the police stepped in
and closed Duncan MacDougall's Barn
charging. a violation of the license I'M
der which it operates. MacDougall and
the. group of players who fancifully
designate themselves fellow-vagabonds
resolutely set themselves the task of
dispensing the maximum of art and
the minimum of luxury in the prosaic
building at II East Fourteenth Street,
whose top-foor loft they named the
Barn. 1t operated, as do several of
the little theatres, under a license per
mltting it to sell tickets to subscrib-
ers. Yesterday several non-subscrib-
ers slipped by and paid their way in
and the police were on hand to enforce
the letter of the law.
The programme promised the first
English production of "Crainquebille. /"
j. M. Synge's "The Tinker's Wedding
and "The Gollywog's Control" by
Duncan MacDougall. At the end of the
second act of the first play the police
stepped in.

L. S. Nurse Brings
French War Baby
And Puppy Home
Jean Thibaut, Whose Par
ents We're Killed i'm War.
To Be Adopted by Woman
Who Served in Hospitals

Accompanied by Jean Thibaut, a
French baby, and Poilu, puppy, DR..
Ethel L. Heard, of Galveston, Tex. ar
rived in New York from France recent
ly. She worked for nineteen months
in the maternity and baby hospitals es-
tablished by the American Woinen's
Hospitals in Chalons-su Marne.
At the American Women's Hospitals
headquarters, 637 Madison Avenue. DR..
Heard, who will return at once to Gal
weston to resume practice, said that
she intended to adopt Jean Thibaut,
whose father was killed in battle and
whose mother and other relatives were
slain in German aerial bombardment
Of Rheims.
Poilu, born in Chalons, was only
a fuzzy puppy when his services were
required in the war, so, being below
draft age, he had to stay with the wom-
en- and children Of the town, often un-
der severe bombardments..
According to DR.. Heard the hospital
which she assisted in establishing will
probably be taken over by the French
government IS the official maternity
and children's hospital of the Depart
ment Of the Marne, while the Amer
lean women doctors and nurses form
ing its present personnel will move
Aisne to aid in the rehabilitation of
that district.
DR.. Heard, who has been officially
commended for her services in France,
and for her bravery in working under
bombardments, is aiding in the cam
paign for $250,000 which the American
Women's Hospitals are carrying on to
aid in extending their work, especially
in Serbia and in the Far East.

Hundred Battle i'm Tourney
OF St. Albans Golf Club

There we're over one hundred com
petitors yesterday in the qualifying
round OF the acquaintance tournament
at the st. Albans Golf Club, designed to
make the new members acquainted with
the old A number of those who com
peted did not return cards, but there
were enough scores turned in to make
up five sixteens for the match play.
The draw for the first sixteen re-
suited as follows; NJ. +. Murray, 81, VS..
John Wright, 50; S. Allison, 92, VS.. j.
G. Williams, 90; J. I. Wheaton, 88, VS..
F. j. Calvin, jr., 90; c. $. Morton, 94,

VS.. H. w. A. Dixon, 96: F. J. Haines, 81,
VS.. j. P. Lantry, 92; Fl. N. Warbasse,
SS, VS.. A. j. Blackhall, SO, and E. I.
Shaw, 94, VS.. II. F. Jackson, 81.
The second sixteen qualified between
SO and 1O6, the third from 107 to lie,
the fourth from 116 to 1877, and all
above 1877 went into the fifth sixteen.
This classified them better for the
match play, which is under the York
shire handicap system, governed by
three simple rules.
First-The players start even at the
irsttee.
second-The first player to win a
hole comedies stroke to his opponent
on the next hole, and continues to con-
cede stroke hole as long as he can
save or win holes. AS soon as his op-
ponent wins hole they play even
again, and the first to win a hole on
even terms comedies stroke to the
loser, just as before.
Third-Strokes are never conceded
BY player who wins hole on which
he is receiving q stroke. even if he
h1
OF the stroke.
Several of these contests have al
ready been held in the first round of
match play. J. l. Wheaton defeated J.
F. Calvin, ir., yesterday afternoon by 2
up and to play, and c. S. Morton beat
]. W. Lamar by up and to play.
The competition seems to be giving
general satisfaction.
Chris Shay, who goes back to his old
position at Lake Champlain, which he
held prior to going into the navy dur
ing the war, has been holding down
Joe Sylvester's job at the st. Albans
Golf Club this spring. Sylvester has
returned from France and yesterday
was Shays last day at st. Adams.
Shay has left his mark behind him
by establishing a new professional rec
ord for the course of rs. The former
record was 76: held by Tom Boyd, Of
the Fox Hills Golf Club.
While playing with H. Adams, N. T.
Murray and George Cartwright, three
Of the st. Albans members, Shay estab-
lished new record of 2 for the dog
leg eighth hole Of 528 yards, which
formerly was the old seventeenth hole.
He missed a 6-foot putt for 8, but
was dcwn in A, one stroke under par.

Nonpartisan League
Sf0te-OaVned Industry
Plan about to Start

toVectut Cc1TtSpOBdence
FARGO, N. D., May 11.-North Da-
kota's system Of state-owned Industries.
authorized by the last state Legis-
ture through the control of that body
by the Nonpartisan League, Is rapidly
being whipped into shape by the North
Dakota Industrial Commission, created
by the Legislature as the agency
through which the gigantic scheme of
state participation in private business
shall be brought into being.
Within three weeks the Bank Of
North Dakota, capitalized at $4,000. 900,
will be opened and ready for business
Within that same period the Indus
trial Commission will begin an investi-
cation to determine the best means OF
establishing a state system Of terminal
elevators and -four mills.
Simultaneous with the opening of the
bank, steps will be taken to bring into
effect the newly enacted law by which
system of state rural credits for the
financing of farm operations will be
established.
For the operation of the terminal ele-
vator and -four mill system a direct
bond issue of S5,000,000 has been Gre
ated, in addition to which ths indus
tries will be backed by the entire
financial strength of the state, powers
granted the Bank of North Dakota
being of such nature as to permit this.
For the financing of the rural credits
scheme a S10,000,0O0 bond issue is
authorized
The construction of the terminal ele-
vator and -four mill system is the
cardinal pledge of the Nonpartisan
League, and it was that issue that car
ried the several elections in which the
league has been a contender in this
state. The Nonpartisans believe that
through the state operation of these
industries they will force a higher
price for grain: that they will be able
to keep the milling industry within the
state, and that they will force a better
deal for the producer in the mater
OF grades given him on his product.
They 90 not undertake to say just how
all this is to be accomplished, but that
is their objective.
