New Investigation Board, He Says, Will Defeat its Own End Says Lawyer. That infanticide and the abandonment of babies will be increased by a recent order of the Department of Charities, prohibiting the reception of by institutions public charges without the approval of the department after an investigation into the circumstances of the applicant, is the belief of Bayard L. Peck, attorney for the New York Foundling Hospital, the largest institution of the kind in the country, which finds homes for about 2,500 nameless little orphans and maintains 5,000 children every year. is a Catholic institution, in charge of Sisters of Charity. Mr.

Peck, who speaks for the advisory board of the Foundling Hospital, is a resident of Brooklyn. He is general counsel for nineteen other Catholic institutions, though a Protestant himself. "The intention of the department," said Mr. Peck, "is to send investigators to the homes of the women, determine whether the mothers or their families can support the infant, whether the mother and the child can be kept together in the home, and generally to investigate and report on every detail of the with the inevitable publicity attached to such a procedure. "How many mothers of illegitimate children will submit to this inquisition.

Some of them would prefer suicide. I predict that if this new rule MUSIC ROLL SALE Player Piano Rolls With the Words of the Song Printed on Special Saturday Poor Butterfly (Jazz). Hong Kong (Jazz). Naughty, Naughty, Naughty (Jazz). Don't Leave Me, Daddy (Jazz).

The New York Foundling Hospital was chartered by the State in 1869 to receive, maintain and have the custody of "foundlings" under 2 years of age. The Charities Department's new Bureau of Social Investigation is the agency through which such investigations are made. According to the new rule the names of women entering the New York Foundling Hospital must be reported to the office of the directors of the bureau, who send a representative to interview the woman. The institution Is then notified whether or not such women shall be accepted as public charges.

The same rule applies to persons proposing children for "surrender." The department will not recognize a child surrendered directly to the institution as a public charge. The two chief reasons for Commissioner Kingsbury's new order are, first, to keep mother and child together, and, second, to protect New York from being made a dumping city. ground for Another foundlings aim is not to born compel in the the relatives of the mother of the child to contribute toward its support if they are financially able to do so. "While the proposal of the depart-ment may work well when applied to an orphan asylum or the usual home for children whose parents are unable to support them," said Mr. Peck, "it will not work when applied to an institution receiving this special class of foundling children.

No one questions the desirability of an efficient method of treating this whole difficult question of dependent children. No investigations a the right reasonable of the way city the to work any institution is doing which city money is paid. "Efficiency, however, to be worth the name, must have some heart and soul in it, and cannot be applied in a cold -blooded and machine-like manner, indiscriminately, without regard to the human elements affected. "In a recent conference with A. M.

cial Investigation, fo asked him whethWilson, director of the Bureau of Soer, in his opinion, the city itself could do the work the hospital is doing for the money now paid the hospital for doing it, and he frankly replied, Whether the political appointees of the department in a city institution will give more efficient and tender care to these babies than the Sisters of Charity, is a question I shall be glad to submit without argument. "That disposes of the city money question. But the real issue is not here. The reason why this rule should not be enforced is because of the unique and distinctive work the Foundling Hospital is doing, and because the enforcement in a hard and fast manner of such rule would practically end the work of the institution and defeat the very purpose which the department claims it is trying to accomplish." Mr. Peck declared that in the twenty years of his connection with the New York Foundling Hospital he has never known of a case in that institution where a child from another jurisdiction was made a city charge.

Commissioner Charles H. Strong, who investigated the management of the State Board of Charities, in his report to Governor Whitman, referred to the mortality of infants received and cared for by a foundling asylum in New York City, without, giving the name of the institution. But he mentioned the fact that this asylum has received 1,738 babies under 1 year, in 1913, and this could relate only to the New York Foundling Hospital because no other institution in the city receives so great a number of infants in one year. According to Mr. Peck, the hospital could not continue its work if it were not for bequests and donations from private sources.

He said that even with the city money, bequests and donations, and with the saving due to the fact that a almost all the work in this institution is done by Sisters of Charity there are years when there is a large deficit.

CONCERT BENEFIT FOR M. E. HOSPITAL By Chaminade Club, Fills the Opera House of Academy of Music. RARE PROGRAM WELL SUNG. Soloists and Ensemble Effects Distinguished for Beauty of Chord" Thrills.

The Chaminade Club's, benefit con-, cert last night for Methodist Episcopal Hospital was a brilliant musical event. The club was assisted by Sascha Jacobinoff, violinist, and artists from then organization, GrayClarke, well-known pianist, and Mrs. Alice Ralph Wood, eminent as a young soprano soloist, gave numbers which added to the artistic value of the occasion. The club, under its able director, Mme. Emma Richardson Kuster, sang with fine ensemble effect, nuancing and tonal beauty.

"The Gypsies," by Brahms, and "Lullaby Baby," by Karl Linders, were given unaccompanied for the initial numbers. The violinist, accompanied played a group of winning pieces, indelightfully by Clifford Vaughn, then cluding the "Albumblatt," by WagnerWilmhelmj; "Allegretto," by WeberKreisler, and "Spanish Dance," by Sarasate. His work was brilliant and artistic and he was followed by the singing of the beautiful "Christmas Hymn' of the Seventeenth Century, which the Chaminade Club interpreted richly and devotionally, The "Chorus of Water Nymphs," with an aria from "Undine," by Harriet Ware, had also poetic interpretation from Mrs. Florence Marten and the club. The piano solos by Mrs.

GrayClarke, who was also club accompanist, was given with spirit and beau- ty, perfect technique and deep feeling distinguishing the Rachmaninoff Prelude sharp minor, "Gondoliera," by Liszt, and "Stacatto Concert Etude," by Rubinstein. Following these the club gave exquisitely "He Gave Me a by Cadman (unac- companied) and the vivacious "Peggy," by Ralph Cox. Sullivan's "The Lost Chord," which was sung with all the lights of the Academy turned off save one (for the accompanist), made a finely devotional effect, as, at the grand close of the number, the lights flashed forth, and the chorus rose from their seats to conclude the song. This unusual way of giving the favorite number produced a strong effect, organ and piano assisting the club. Mrs.

Alice Ralph Wood's singing of "Caro Nome," by Verdi, from "Rigoletto," was highly artistic and her pure, sweet voice and colorature phrases made her easily a singer of distinction. Her two encores were given in response to prolonged recalls, and were also delightfully sung. "Lochinvar's Ride," by Harry Rowe Shelley," sung by the Chaminade and solo quartet, made a spirited number. In the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Carrie Devlin Jonas, Miss Emma Squires, took her place and the solo singers, Miss Kinkel, Mrs.

W. B. Clark and Mrs. H. E.

Hawes, acquitted themselves well. Mr. Jacobinoff played four final numbers, the "Ave by Schubert-Wilhelmj; "Les Petits Moulins a vent," CouperinPress; "Romance." by Debussy, and the Paganini-Jacobinoft "Caprice," No. 24, by Kreisler, with a marvel of skill and expression. The noble composition by Schubert, "The Omnipotence," given with piano, organ and voices, was a big, throbbing number of the close of the program, and all the uplift of the music was in the ensemble, as the rich phrases rang through the auditorium.

Mrs. Pauline Dobson Gold was the efficient organist. The Concert's Personnel. Undergraduate nurses of the hospital, in uniform, acted as program girls and later in the evening filled the six upper boxes. As a prelude to the program the national anthem was sung by the club and the audience, two of the nurses waving large American flags at either end of the stage.

During the second verse another her and very large flag was unfurled the back drop. Of the artists Mrs. Kuster was in opalescent cloth, with a touch of coral, Mrs. Florence Marten in Nile green chiffon and charmeuse, Mrs. Amelia Gray Clarke in heliotrope brocade and silver lace, and Mrs.

Alice Ralph Wood in green charmeuse and opalescent trimming. The background of palms and yellow daffodils was effective. In the box with Mrs. William S. Kennedy, the president of the Florence Nightingale Federation, were other officers of the society, Mrs.

DR. CARTER FLAYS PACIFISTS IN TALK Pastor, in Patriotic Address, Stirs Members of United Boys Brigades. "George Washington loved peace, but never was a 'peace-at-any-price nor was he in accord with those long men and short-haired women who are preaching so much about pacifism today," said the Rev. Dr. William Carter, pastor of the Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church, speaking last night at a patriotic rally of the United Boys Brigades of America, N.

Y. Division, in the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, Marcy and Putnam avenues. Carter's address was a severe arraignment of the pacifists. His utterances so fired with patriotic zeal the 2,000 boys and adults who filled the church and adjoining Sunday School that again and again the place echoed with cheers. He said: "It is not strange we are attaching to the name pacifist the word traitor, because they refuse to uphold the President of the United States in a time like this.

It would be well for them to ally themselves with the Father of their Country rather than with the Father of Lies." Dr. Carter criticised the recent pacifist conference at the Biltmore, the Eastern District High School students who refused to pledge themselves for military training, and, without referring to her by name, Miss Jessie Hughan, secretary of the Anti-Enlistment League. The opening prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. John M.

Moore, pastor of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church. Those in charge of the rally included Major General Robert N. Hunter, Colonel Ernest C. Thompson and Colonel Gardiner Hull. WEDEKIND PLAY TONIGHT "The Awakening of Spring" at Thirty-ninth St.

Theater. As a result of its campaign to secure the teaching of sex hygiene in the public schools and otherwise to spread knowledge upon this important subject, the Medical Review of Reviews, under the presidency of Frederic H. Robinson, has arranged for a special matinee of Frank Wedekind's sex tragedy of childhood, "The Awakening of Spring," to eb given this evening at the Thirty-ninth Street Theater, by Geoffrey C. Stein and co-workers. It is believed by the Medical Review of Reviews that a performance of "The Awakening of Spring" before an audience of legislators, educators, philanthropists and sociologists, will bring those in authority to a realization of their responsibility and lead to definite constructive action.

The play was given for 325. performances in Berlin. It was produced there by Karl Dietz, who is staging the New York production. This will be its first English performance. A careful translation has by Francis J.

Ziegler. Mr. Stein has assembled an unusual cast to interpret the play. In addition to himself, who will play one of the leading roles, the company includes Charles A. Stevenson, Fuller Mellish, Jennie Eustace, Pauline Hall, Fania Marinoff, Edna Baker, Theodore von Eltz, Emily McLean, Vera Winter, Vera Fuller-Mellish, Arthur Davenport, Deene Cole and Taylor Graves.

W. A. ALLEN DIES; OLD INDIAN FIGHTER Wounded by Redskins While Serving Under Scout Kit Carson. Walter Andrew Allen, 71 years old, an oldtime Indian fighter under the famous scout, Captain Kit Carson, died on Wednesday from a stroke of paralysis, at his residence, 323 Decatur street. The funeral services will be held this evening, the Rev.

Dr. Charles R. Ross, pastor of the Embury Memorial M. E. Church, officiating, and the interment, tomorrow, will be in Evergreens Cemetery.

Mr. Allen was born on Staten Island and as a young man worked his way around Cape Horn to the Pacific coast on the clipper ship Grand Republic. At San Francisco he joined the First Regiment of California Cavalry and served in the Civil War and for some time after its close in Indian fights under Captain Kit Carson. He was in many battles and was wounded in the hip with a rifle ball. After his service as an Indian fighter he went to Springfieldl, and later came to Brooklyn, where he was superintendent for the old Brooklyn Municipal Gag Company until 1882.

when he went to Michigan for Colonel E. C. Benedict and erected a. concentrating plant for reducing iron ore. Then he went to Albany for the same interests and took charge of the Albany Gas Company's plant as superintendent.

In 1894 he became the auperintendent of the New York Mutual Gas Light Company, retaining the position until 1911, when he retired. Mr. Allen was a member of the Belle Harbor Yacht Club and the Soclety of Gas Lighting Engineers. He 19 survived by his wife, Mary A. Parker, and a brother, Benjamin J.

Alley of Boston, Mass, PAY AT NAVY YARD LOW, C. L. U. IS TOLD But Men Will Not "Embarrass" the Administration, the Workers' Spokesman Said. Last night's meeting of the Central Labor Union, in the Labor Lyceum, was presided over by Vice President Maurice De Young, in the absence of President John P.

Coughlin. A letter from Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson was received accepting ap invitation to address the C. F.

U. at the Labor Day celebration, in September, at Prospect Hall, provided conditions are not such as to compel his remainh ing Washington. The committee in charge of the celebration is composed of Delegates Otto Nicols, Maurice De Young, Fred Rauscher, James P. Boyle, H. Schmidt, George P.

Christie, George J. Phillips and Miss Hilda Svenson. Delegate Joseph S. McDonagh, reporting for the Navy Yard electricians, stated that his union had directed the attention of the National Administration to the fact that the skilled workmen in Federal employ in the Yard are not receiving the same wages as paid in private establishments, and that as a result the Government does not get the best grade of workmen for Yard service. As an illustration, he said the electricians in the Metropolitan District now receive $5 per diem, and after Monday next they will receive $5.20 per diem.

The Navy Yard electricians are paid from $3.28 to $4.80, the average being $4.02, he said. The attention of the Secretary of the Navy, he said, had been frequently called to this condition, but without result. "There will no doubt be a call to the patriotism of every Yard employee to speed up, to work overtime and to adapt himself to a new situation very soon," Mr. McDonagh said, "and when this call comes every union man among us will heartily respond to it. But we would do so with even a better grace should the Secretary of the Navy agree to place us on a parity with our fellow tradesmen in private employment, and thus allay much of existing dissatisfaction.

But there is no disposition to do anything to embarrass the Administration in the premises." M. Raphael, J. Clement, Charles Buraus and S. Schwartz, the committee from the Central Union Label Council of Greater New York, reported on the question of "Union Label Agitation." Miss Mary E. Dreier, Miss Melinda Scott and Miss Rose Schneiderman, a committee representing the Industrial Section of the New York State Woman Suffrage Party, made a strong appeal to the Central Labor Union for aid in getting the vote for women in this State.

"We are out to get the vote for the women of this State, and as working women we appeal you as working men to help us get it," said Miss Dreier. CONCERTS IN MANHATTAN, In the Comedy Theater Wednesday afternoon a Scottish violinist, Alix Young-Maruchess, with Francis Moore, pianist, gave a concert of ensemble music, with groups of solos for each artist. Miss Young-Maruchess played admirably Haendel's "Sonata in Minor" and other numbers. Mr. Moore, as both accompanist and soloist, played well Beethoven's "Contra Dance." Sascha Jacobinoff, violinist, in his second recital at Aeolian Hall, Wednesday afternoon, showed talent but not so smooth a performance as in his first recital.

Among his numbers were Concertos by Narolini and Saint-Saens. FIRE RECORD.
