Aquitania's Cabin, Where
Young Salesman Is Caught
Lost Bonds Sold in East
Prisoner Accused of Dispos-

Companions Questioned

A trip to Europe was spoiled for Bert
II. Chapman, a young salesman of Bos-
ton, yesterday, when three postoffice
inspectors went to his luxurious state
room on the Cunard liner Aquitania
and asked him to come ashore.
Chapman, whose name is said to have
been changed from Kaplan by court
order, explained that he had important
business to transact in England and
could not afford to leave the steamship.
He was informed that that was a
matter of small concern to the three
men surrounding him in his stateroom
and that the quicker he packed up his
effects and left the vessel the better it
would be for him.
He made no further demur and was
hurried to taxicab that took him to
the main postotfice in Thirty-third
Street About the time he was being
questioned in the room of the inspec-
tors the Aquitania was backing out
into the North River.
Inspectors Sellars and Webster, of
San Francisco, who had been on the
trail of Chapman for several months,
were assisted in the arrest by Inspec-
tor Butler, of New York.
After an examination that lasted sew
eral hours Chapman was locked up at
Police Headquarters. He will be ar
raigncd this morning before United
States Commissioner Hitchcock,
charged with having concealed and dis
posed Of stolen property, violation of
section 1914 of the United States Penal
Code.
The inspectors who have been trac.
ing Chapman say it is their opinion
that he has knowledge of the theft of
bonds valued at 100000 from mail
truck in Los Angeles March 3. Four
bandits stopped the vehicle by drop
ping the crossing gates across the
tracks of the Southern Pacific Rail
road. Practically all the mail taken
was registered.
Inspector Selars found that the rail
road bonds stolen had been disposed
of in Boston June IA. The foreign
bonds were recovered from Boston
bank June 23.
Chapman was accompanied to the
pier by woman, who said she was
Mrs. Charles Soloman, of 81 Middle
sex Street, Boston, and an elderly
woman accompanied by boy of ten.
The women were questioned by the
inspectors and permitted to return to
Boston.

Mrs. Belmont to Renew
Fight to Help Women

Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, accompanied
by her son, William K. Vanderbilt
sailed yesterday for southampton on
the Cunard liner AQyitania on a vaca-
ton fseveral months.
Mrs. Belmont said that she had
worked hard in Washington as head
of the Woman's Party, and on her re-
turn would renew her efforts with the
party to bring about legislation in
various states that would restore to
women rights that they do not now
possess.
"Although women have won the right
of suffrage" she said "there are many
states where married women do not
own their own property or even their
own children. We will seek to bring
about these reforms by peacefui per
suasion, and if we fail we will have to
put in motion extensive campaigns
until these wrongs have been righted.

was Henry Mason Day, who heads

"The failure of Police Captain Dona-
hue to appear in court the next morn

to justify the arrest, may be an indi-
cation that he has seen the light, but
IN order that the abuse may not be re-

take measures to prevent it and to see
that on Friday the meeting and the
speakers are protected from interfer-

contravention of the statutes. For the
sake Of orderly procedure and preven-

requested to give the desired assurance

Because Bryant Hall is smaller and
less conveniently arranged than Town
Hall, with a stairway approach and
fewer doors, it is likely that there
will not be room for all who wish to
