A program which the youthful audi

POlicewomen Idle Since
Prohibition Swept Citv

Prohibition enforcement has caused
so few arrests Of women that the Jobs
of the police matrons are in danger.
Mrs. Ellen O'Grady, Deputy Police
commissioner, made the statement yes
terday in asking The Tribune to cor
rect the impression she said was
created by a story published yesterday
to the effect that the appointment Of
Mrs. O'Grady's daughter as the Deputy
Commissioners stenographer was q
violation of the civil service regula-
tions.
"The appointment of my daughter
was not violation Of civil service
rules" Mrs. o'Grady said: "The law
specifies that a Deputy Police Commits
sioner has the right to appoint two
confidential assistants---a secretary and
a stenographer.
"My stenographer resigned recently
to be married and l appointed my
daughter temporarily to serve in that
capacity. She left her position as
high school teacher to assist me. As
to the policewomen, have absolutely
no power. All appointments are made
by the Police Commissioner, according
to law.
Thanks to prohibition we have very
few arrests of women these days.
There is but little work for the ma
irons. If they are led to believe that
civil service regulations are being dis
regarded, there is no telling how low
the morale Of this important branch
of the Police Department will fall"

Caruso Sings With
Admirable Effect
I'm lie Prophete'
Mime. Matzenauer and Miss
Muzio Also Are Heard at
Their Best lin. .Meyerbeer's
Opera at the Metropolitan

Meyerbeer's "Prophet" is certainly
with honor in New York. Mr.. Caruso,
cured of the influenza and with HIS
organ pipes in perfect order, sang John
Of Leyden yesterday afternoon at the
metropolitan, and huge audience
shouted approval. In face and figure
Mr.. Caruso is, Of course, far from the
characters ideal. but for his voice we
have long forgiven him that. In voice
and in style he was at his best.
Nine. Matzenauer probably sings the
music of Fides as we'll as 1t could be
sung to-day. while Miss Muzio is at
her best as Bertha. Indeed. in this
part Miss. Muzio shows that she can
sing with discretion and with taste. and
even that when she desires it she has
and admirable command Of mcxsn -v0cc.
Her faults are the faults Of her super
abundant Italian temperament and of
her youth. With her beauty and the
gifts which nature has given her so
generously, Miss Muzio can easily be-
come one Of the great singers Of the
age. She shows at least beginning of
this in "Le Prophetic"
Mr.. Rothier's Count Obcrthal is per-
h0ps of all the singers in the Metro
politan production the most perfectly
IN the Mcycrbeer tradition. His bear
ing, his voice, his diction, are all adj
mirable, while Mr.. Qua. Mr.. d'Angelo.
Mr.: Mardones and Mr.. Ananian are ex-
cellent as the Anabaptists Mr.. Bo-
danzky, of course, conducted with his
usual authority.

fore their departure for America. He
said that In giving the Pilgrims ref
.uEe Holland has contributed to their
success in the New World, and has in
many other ways played no small part
in tho general history and development
Of the United States. He said there
were many bonds Of principle and sym

Bishop Burch Delivers Sermon
The service was conducted by Vicar
McComas, the lesson being read by the
Rev DR.. William M. Geer, vicar emer-
itus, and the sermon being delivered by
Bishop Charles S. Burch. The services
were concluded with the singing of the
solemn 'Te Deum."
In his sermon Bishop Burch spoke
OF the necessity of closer union be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, as we'll as all English speaking
peoples, for the purpose Of maintain
ing justice, international peace and
rlghte ousness among the nations of the
earth.
Bishop Burch spoke Of George Wash
lngton as the personifcation of su-
FA0aAo PnlIiotlSAH. Lie quoted wash
ington's words--"no nation can ever
expect to live and become great with
out it has true faith and patriotism"--
saying that nothing could be more
fitting than the service and assemblage
in the chapel. where more than CEN
tury and half ago Washington kissed
the Bible and took the oath as first
President of the United States.
"Ihe deep religious sentiment of
Washington should be an object lesson
for Americans to-day" said Bishop
Burch. "Washington was always on
the side of law and order and the con-
troll OF the constituted authorities. No
one can be an American and do other
wise in these troublous times"
The bishops address was concluded
with fervent appeal to the American
people to remain true to the principles
of law and human conduct on which
this nation was founded. "Now is the
time," he said. "when Ameicans should
show the world that the principles for
which they sought severance from the
mother country and to uphold which
they helped destroy Kaiserism, are liv-
ing with stronger, purer light than
ever before"
