Warden Meyer Quits
Is Sing Sing Rumor
Official Himself Is Absent. but
Story Unofficially Is Con-
firmed

OSSlNING, n. Y, March 25-It was
rumored about Sing Sing prison today
that Warden Meyer had resigned, to
take effect April is. The report was
unofficially confirmed by several at
taches of the prison.
Warden Meyer himself could not be
seen. 1t was said he was out of town,
but would be back tomorrow. In his
absence no one would say positively
that he was about to go.
Charles F. Rattigan, Superintendent
OF Prisons, was at the prison yeste rday.
1t was learned that he already has met
personally three men from Westche
County who are applicants for the DO
sltion of warden. These are James II.
Moran, editor of "The Register" the
democratic paper of this city; Thomas
GOODWIN, president Of the village of
Hastings, N. Y, and Edward Brophy. of
Port Chester, n Y.
The position of warden is considered
one Of the choicest political plums in
the state. The warden invariably has
changed with each upset in the politi-
cal complexion of the state administra-
tion. Warden Meyer is Republican.
The warden receives salary of $3,-
300 with an allowance Of 81 800 for liv-
ing expenses. In addition he is given
house rent free and virtually all his
household necessities are provided for.

Russian Symphony Society's
Final Concert of Season

Because the orchestral parts of
Rubinstein's Fifth Concerto. which
had been used by the pianist in the
west, did not arrive in time. Mischa
Levltzki substituted LISTS Concerto
IN E-fat at the concert given bv the
Russian Symphony Society last even
ing at Carnegie Hall. His performance
was an exuberant exhibition of glit-
terlng technic, which pleased the
audience and caused him to be re-
called again and again at its close.
This was the final concert of the
season by this organization. The pro-
gramme included Glinka's overture
Russian and Ludmilla," Glazunoff,s
meiodious symphonic picture Spring"
an orchestral arrangement Of six of
Mouss ssorgsky's pictures from an Ex-
hlbltion,' piano pieces inspired from
the work of his dead friend, the paint
er, Victor Hartmann, and Tschaikow-
sky's brilliant Suite No. g." The
playing of the orchestra was uneven.
sngularly rough in its treatment of
the third movement of Tschaikowsky's
Suite. But in this there was com
pensating episode-the violin solo, in
which the mellow tone and facile exc
cution of the orchestras concertmas-
ter were heard with gratitude.

Kermit, Last of Colonel's
Sons TO Come Back,
Fought With British in
Mesopotamian Struggle
Then Joined Americans
Won Medals, but Does
Not W ear Th e m, and
Refuses to Talk of Them

Captain Kermit Roosevelt, son of
the late Colonel Roosevelt. who fought
with the British in Mesopotamia and
Palestine, and later joined the Ameri-
can eypeditionary forces, returned
yesterday on the transport George
Washington, which brought home 4,S97
cfficers and men. He was accompanied
by his wife and two sons, Kermit jr
and Willard, who had been with their
mother in Spain.
While her husband was fighting,
Mrs. Roosevelt was with her father
Joseph f. Willard, American Ambas-
sador to Spain. Captain Roosevelt,
who is the third and last Of the for
mer Presidents sons to return from
the war, received several decorations
for his service on the field, but wore
none of them.
Captain Roosevelt appeared to be in
excellent health despite the severity
OF the campaign he went through in
the Near East. When asked about his
experiences during the two years he
fought with the British he made it
clear that he did not care to enter into
narratives about himself. Also he de-
clIned to speak of the decorations he
had won.
President Commands Ship
1t was said on board the George
bound journey, when the vessel was
taking the President on his second
trip to France, Mr.. Wilson went up on
the bridge one day with Mrs. Wilson
and expressed much interest in the
navigation Of the vessel The big
transport was then on the wide ocean
and a turn OF the wheel or a change in
speed made little difference.
1t was suggested by the officer or
duty that inasmuch as the President
was regarded as the pilot of the shin
mand of the George Washington. This
amused Mr.. Wilson and, after asking
many questions about the handling OF
the ship, he took hold and gave orders
to the Quartermaster at the wheel and
signalled several times to the engine
room with the bridge telegraph
The vessel brought over twenty-nine
casual companies, with men from every
state in the Union. With them came
the 135th Machine Gun Battalion and
the 1l2th Field Signal Battalion, both
She also had eleven soldiers who
had. been blinded in battle and IT'S
nurses who had been in service at base
hospitals in France.
California Hero Arrives
The Fabre liner Venezia, which ar
rived yesterday. brought over from
Marseilles 1871 officers and men
grouped into some thirty casual com
panies.
Among the Venezia's passengers was
Sergeant Joseph Hubowitz, of Sacra-
mento, Cal, who fought with the
18th Infantry. He brought home the
D. S. C. for voluntary hazardous at
tack on German machine gun
nest which his commanding office,
thought he could not capture. He in
formed Hubowitz that it was sure
death and the latter said he was will
ing to take the chance. The sergeant
and his men got the nest, killed four
Germans and compelled the thirteen
prisoners they captured to carry their
machine guns into the American lines
