tion Of equality Of rights for nationals
Of this country IN Dutch territory
would be given careful consideration
by his government. He is understood
to have explained that the vote Of the
second chamber Of Parliament must
first be ratified by another branch Of
the Dutch government before it is
binding,
The note made public yesterday by
Secretary Of State Hughes on the Meth
erlands oil situation explicitly says
that discriminatory acts against Amer
lean citizens in Dutch territory call
for similar prohibition against Dutch
capital seeking oil rights in this coun-
try. In addition, the note carried the
implication that more farreaching
measures may be resorted to by the
United States should foreign govern
ments fail to subscribe to the principle
Of reciprocity.
The most significant part Of the note
to the Dutch Foreign Office, observers
pointed out to-day, was this reference
to further retaliatoly steps that may
be necessary to provide an adequate
supply of oil for the future needs of
the United States. 'In light of the
future needs of tho United States," the
note says, "such very limited and pure
ly defensive provisions (the barring Of
foreign capital from the United States
oil fields) might become inadequate
should the principle Of equality of op-
portunity not be recognized in foreign
countries"

William Randolph Hearst paid $500
for a Catalonan wrought iron reja or
gate and wings at the concluding sale
yesterday of the Spanish art collection

sent here. from Madrid for disposal at
the American Art Galleries. Many

ing an entire Italian walnut choir, con-
sisting of thirty three stalls, which

The days sales amounted to S39. 9.02O.
A grand total of $780, 157 was paid by
various collectors and dealers for the
entire collection.
1t is understood that 'Mr. Hearst

eauipping in the Spanish motive. The
gate and wings are from the carly
fourteenth century, measure about 18

ending in pointed finals, ornamented
with quatrefoil flowers of curved roint-
ed petals, over the gate being 4 pointed
ogee arch of Gothic tracery with a for

Bedroom Comedy Must
Go, Drama League Told
Bare Legs and Backs Also
Slated To BE Chased From
Stage. Saws Pittsburgher
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


CHICAGO. April 3o.-Naughty bed
room comedies, the garter shows, hare
legs, bare backs, indecency, profanity,
vulgarity, all these are to be chased
from the stage, the Drama League act
ing as the chaser, in accord with rec
concentrations submitted at the leagues
convention to-day by Chester B. Story
of Pittsburgh.
pittsburgh is a snow-white lamb"
said Mr.. Story, compared with condi-
tions on the stage to-day Maybe, the
reaction has been caused by war un-
rest. A back to- normalcy movement is
needed, and this must be led by the
Drama League"
The stage, Mr.. Story declared, was
running too much toward the spectacu-
lar, the stuff that appeals only to ths
eye instead of to the ear and brain.
He declared the time has now come for
a revival of the spoken drama.
Mr.. Story said that the league also
should go after the "back stage" con-
ditions in many theaters. He said the
average stage and dressing room were
too unsanitary even for a dog act. He
said conditions back stage in many the
aters were worse than in the trenches
in Eurepc during the war.
He Recommended that the league
should cooperate with civic and re-
ligious bodies, political organizations,
chambers of commerce, women's clubs
and schools to bring about the needed
elevation Of the stage.

Conspiracy is also charged between
business agents and members OF the
Master Steam Filters Association to
refuse to do business with any person
who is not member of the assoc1a-
ton. The result has been, the inolct-
ments charge, that prices have gone
up no less than $50 per cent.
Woods Had Denied "Shakedown"
In an interview recently Mr.. Woods.
who appeared before the commission
to-day, denied that he had made a
payment of $4,000 before the wrecking
of the old building at the southeast
corner of West Randolph and North
Dearborn streets, and of making sub
sequent "strike insurance" payments
totaIing between $4,000 and $15,OOU.
The Daley Commission, however, has
the names of several persons to whom
troubles in connection with the con-
struction of the Apollo Theater. One
of the men is quoted as saying that
as soon as he heard Mr.. Woods story
Of the "shake down" he immediately
cancelled his contracts for building
he was to have put up on the South
Side. This fact was verified by the
prospective builders architect.
According to a rumor that is going
the rounds of the Rialto, Mr.. Woods
denial of the story to newspaper man
who sought him out had been inspired
by a desire to refrain from arousing
the ire of business agents who still
have control of workmen now finishing
UP work On the new theater.

Woman of so Adopted
AS Benefactor's Daughter

Surrogate Foley yesterday granted
permission to Henry c. Webb, of 248
West, 105th Street, to adopt as his
daughter Miss Mary Sherwood, fifty
years old, who for many years has
been member of the Webb household
and has been known as Aimee S. Webb.
Nearly fifty years ago Mr.. Webb and
his late wife, Mrs. Mary Webb, lost
their only child. a daughter. Through
Sister Anne of st. Luke's Hospital the
tereaved couple met six-year-old Mary
Sherwood in 1877. The parents of the
child we're dead and Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb borrowed Mary from time to
time. A great attachment grew up,
and eventually the orphan became a
permanent member of the Webb house
hold.
Mrs. Webb died on May 6, 1916. In
his petition to the court for permission
to adopt Miss Sherwood, or Miss Webb,
Mr.. Webb said that he "desred to AS
sure to her the rights Of daughter to
which she is justly entitled on account
ot her devotion"

Cillen's Veterans?
League Assailed
By Congressman
Leaders Tried to Sell Votes
at Last Election and Are
Mulcting Service Men,
Says johnson; Asks Probe
From The Tribpne's Washington Bureau

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 30.-An attack
on the National Disabled Soldiers
League, with headquarters in New
York City, which is said long to have
been under fire by the American Legion
and other recognized veterans organi-
cations. was made in the House to-day
by Representative Royal C. Johnson,
Republican, of South Dakota. Mr..
johnson charged the league with offer
ing to "sell out" to either party be-
fore the election and said, "it is mulct-
ing thousands Of war veterans"
Representative Johnson made his at
tack this afternoon during debate on
the Army Appropriation bill. He said
that Herbert Hoover and other promi-
nent persons had through sympathy
for the alleged purposes of the organi-
zs.ton agreed to act as patrons, but
mad later Withdrawn their Names"
The National Disabled Soldiers
League, headed by George H. Gillen,
said Mr. Johnson, had succeeded in
obtaining thousands of dollars for the
benefit of war veterans but had di-
verted the money to other purposes and
mot even it's officers say it will soon
be self-supporting. There is every
reason why it should be investigated"
Mr.. johnson charged that Gillen also
heads the Under-Fire Veterans Asso-
c;ation, and had, prior to the elections
last November, offered ''for sufficient
salaries" for its officers to turn over
the votes Of members to the Pepubli-
can party. After their offer was
turned down. he said, they threatened
to use the votes of their members in
helping the Democratic party
sit can be proved that $4,000 was
contributed to the league by Bernard
Baruch and Others. Mr.. johnson con-
tinued. Whether this money was used
as intended he did not know, he said.
In reply to questions from members
Representative Johnson stated he un-
derstood that the league had large
number of members who were war
veterans and many of them disabled.
"But they are mulcting service men
out of a dollar each," he concluded.

Woman Who Navigated )
Niagara i'm Barrel Dies
Mrs. Anna Taylor Only One Of
Her Sex to Live Through Feat
She Performed in 1901

LOCKPORT, N. Y, April 3o.-Anna
E6son Taylor, the only woman who
ever navigated Niagara Falls in bar
rel and lived, died in the Niagara Coun-
ty Infirmary to-day.
Mrs Taylor made the trip over the
falls on October "a, 1901, in crudely
constructed wooden barrel as cast
at fortune, but i'll fortune pursued her
from the time of her adventure to the
time of her death. She was fifty-eight
years old.
Mrs. Taylor was towed out from La
Sale, two miles above the falls, by
river men into the Canadian channel,
so that her barrel would pass over the
Horseshoe Fall, where the water was
deepest.
Her barrel passed safely through the
upper rapids, made the plunge near
the middle of the Horseshoe. and re-
appeared in the spume below the falls
within half an hour. Mrs. Taylor was
severely injured and it was necessary
to cut the barrel in halves to get her
out. While she was receiving medical
attention her barrel was stolen.
She recovered from her injuries and
made lecture tour of the West, but
met with little success.
