Mrs. Drischman refused to turn over

the law entities her to retain her posi-

Clash With Mary Garden
Refutes Press Reports of AL

of Chicago Opera Go.
Snec;oJ D;s,otch n The rr;5.,n.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Refuting cable
dispatches declaring that friction exists
between Mary Garden, general director
of the Chicago Opera Company, and Mrs.
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, daughter
Of John D. Rockefeller, and wife Of Har-
old F. Mccormick, the following state
ment was issued to-day by the opera
company:
MRS. Mccormick has requested and
authorized the following statement in
her name:
"Mrs. Mccormick, who, with her hus-
band, is principal guarantor of the
Chicago Opera Company, is amazed at
the untruthful and obviously malicious
statements appearing both in cable dis
patches and in sections of the American
press during the last week, reciting an
alleged clash between Mary Garden and
Mrs. Mccormick in Paris this summer.
Mrs. Mccormick denies emphatically
any discord at any time with Miss Gar
den and reaffirms her unlimited faith in
Miss Garden as an executive and an
artist.
Mrs. Mccormick did not see Miss
Garden in Paris this summer. Mrs.
Mccormick entertained Mary Garden
in the Mccormick home on Lake Zurich,
Switzerland, and is very happy to relate
that the two went over the Chicago
Opera plans for the coming season in
detail. Mrs. Mccormick was of some
assistance in solving the problems pre-
scented, and the two were in entire ac-
cord at all times.
Mrs. Mccormick is truly grieved that
Miss Gardens generosity in donating
her services without pay as general d.
rector of the Chicago Opera Company
should subject this matchless woman to
the malicious and untruthful attacks
that are being made upon Miss Garden

olice Rush to Get
Roosevelt's Guide,
Who Carries a Gun
Giant Zulu, Holding a Suspi-
cious-Looking Bundle, Ar
rested AFTER Telling Inquis-
tive Detective With Fist

Detective Philip Ryan, attached to
the Fifth Inspection District, was
standing at 135th Street and Seventh
Avenue last night when he was ap-
preached by the only son and heir ap-
parent of the Zulu prince of South
Africa.
But outside of tie fact that he was
nearly seven feet tall, there was moth
ing to make this stranger, who walked
up to Detective Ryan, more noticeable
than a dozen other pedestrians who
happened to be hurrying by at the
moment. For the adopted Occidental
dress and manner had long since eradi-
Gated all those traces of the jungle
the late Theodore Roosevelt found him
in South Africa and after employing
him as a guide brought him to this
country.
Though all the signs of his native
heath were missing from the stranger,
Detective Ryan did not fail to notice
bundle which the erstwhile guide was
carrying under his arm. His suspicious
were aroused and he accosted the man.
"If you think l got booze in this
package you're mistaken" the man told
the detective, and resentlng the ofiicer's
attempts to investigate for himself, he
struck out with his right hand in q
most un-Zulu-like fashion. AS Ryan
fell to his knee he drew his police
whistle and blew shrill blast. The
next minute there were too many police
on the scene for dozen Zulu princes
and few medicine men thrown in.
At the East 135th Street station the
man gave his name as Alfred De Silva
and said that he was living at 248h
West 148th Street Then he was taken
into a rear room of the station and
searched. After several minutes at
this task a detective came out and
made the announcement that the former
guide of the Roosevelt party in his
transformation to an Occidental had
abandoned the boomerang for more
modern weapons and he was held for
violating the Sullivan Act
De Silva pleaded guilty in the Night
Court. He was held in $500 bail for
trial in Special Sessions.

Loucheur Tells Women
France Still Needs Aid
Letter to Relief Worker Elk.
presses Appreciation of Serv.
ice i'm Devastated Area

The New York Offices of the American
Committee for the Relief of Devas-
tated France made public yesterday a
letter written to Mrs. Anne Murray
Dixie, one of the chiefs of the com
mittee in Paris, from M. Loucheur.
Minister of the Liberated Regions, ex-
expressing the gratitude Of France for
the work done by the women of the
committee. In the course of the letter
he says, referring to tour of inspec-
ton on which he accompanied Mrs.
Dixie through the Asne:
"Need l tell you how deeply inter
ested I was in what I saw in the visit
to which I have referred, during which
we went through all the services you
have organized and that provide the
things so essential to devastated de-
partment: foyers, meeting houses,
libraries, hospitals, nurseries, etc ?
Neither shall l soon forget the sight
of the roads Of the Aisne, on which we
met SO many light cars driven by
young and graceful girls who answer
every call and who are always to be
found wherever help or consolation is
needed. Truly, the work of restoring
devastated department must be a
superhuman task, not to be achieved
without the help of such aid as you
have brought us.
"Yet, despite oil the work that has
been done, there is still much to do.
Many families are still living in make
shift shelters erected near the ruins
of their homes, and good though they
appear to be, thanks to the magnificent
efforts of our rural population, our
crops are still far below the pre- war
harvests. The presence of the star
spangled banner alongside Of the tri-
color in the villages of Aisne is a
pledge that your support will stay with
them"

PueblO's Disaster,

Into the annals OF. Americas great
disasters has been written new chap
ter by Pueblo, second city of Colorado.
1t is a chapter the end of which is
not yet; but already it is one whose
pages are scribed in blood and desola-
ton and woe beyond computing.
For the floods that began their raw
ishment of the Smelter City on Fri
day night, June 8. and continued thru
three days and nights of terror and
breathless horror have not even today
yielded up their full quota of dead
and manned. Ii is still impossible to
say whether the loss of life will be
500 or more or less; five days after
the flood waters had receded enough
to enable the work of digging out"
to begin, the lowest estimate of dead
was 200, but the river bottom had not
then been searched and combed for the
countless bodies that are sure to be
found there.
Property loss it is easier to approx
innate, altho again the figures are open
to dispute or revision. Conservative
insurance men and business heads be-
lieve the damage to buildings and
stock and private property will be not
less than S25, 1000, 900, and may run as
high as $4,000, 900 or $50 900 900 when
final stock is taken.

Dry Land Wheat.

A. L. Beavers and f. R. Jones re-
turned yesterday from a trip to Chey-

their description of the wheat fields
in Kiowa and Cheyenne counties. They
say that for miles along the road it
looks almost as if it was one continu-
Gus wheat field and the crop appears
to be certain of good yield per acre
much of it looking as good as some
of the irrigated wheat. The harvesters
are about ready to begin and the crop
is secure from all but hail. They pre-
dict the wheat belt in these southern
counties will soon rival that of the
northeastern counties of Colorado.

CITY TO FURNISH HEAT
Lamar Aldermen VIII Run Plant for
One Year al Cost.

On Monday night last the city al
dernen discussed the heat question
with a number of the business men
whose places of business are fitted up
for steam heat only. After all phases
of the question had been threshed out
it was agreed that the city would run
the old plant at the abandoned power
house for one season, and charge the
consumers just what it cost with the
necessary repairs and an amount ad-
ded equal to what the city would lose
in taxes. The business men can then
decide whether they want to continue
the plant themselves. or find other
means of securing heat.
