This news reached the women yesterday at the afternoon session of the forty-fifth convention of the New Tork City Federation of Women's Clubs, held all day and evening at the Hotel Astor.

Mrs. Johnston Preston, ana of tha speakers, during a talk on "Camp Hygiene and Hospital Work Abroad." announced the newa tn the form of a telegram from her husband. CoL Preston, who Is tn Washington. The telegram Informed Mra Preston that she Is to go, as soon a passage can be secured, to France for a conference with Oen. Pershing to decide on the site for the hospital.

In speaking for a resolution demanding that the dubs in the federation drop any member whs nrdiwl Ytr-rmt nn'1 fl.t nr Who WSS unwilling to work for war relief work, Mrs. Thomas Massey said this resolution applied to three classes of women pro-Germans, pacifists and slackers. She told of hearing a conversation at a recent club meeting, when two women called the American flag "a dirty rag." She their names and addressee and reported the occurence to the police.

She said one of the women was In the convention. Immediately there were calls throughout the hall for the names of the women. Mra J. F. Taw.

ger ruled the requests out of order. She said that reporting the matter to the police waa sufficient. The resolution forcing such women out of the clubs was adopted by a rising vole. But two women remained seated. Another disturbance waa created wtien the president announced from the platform that four of the convention women with luncheon tickets costing one dollar bad gone Into the main dining room of the Astor.

other resolutions of Inter est passed at the afternoon session was one directing a petition to the Mayor, the police commissioner and the Board of Estimate, requesting the appointment of women to patrol the streets.

An effort waa made to paaa a resolution asking for the repeal ef the law permitting school children to work on the farms from April to November. This matter waa referred to the legislative committee.

Miss Amy Wren, a Brooklyn lawyer, advised that there was no such bill now before the Legislature and declared the women could not endorse something that did not exist. Mrs. J. Hungerford Milbank. In a military-looking khaki uniform, wanted the federation kept as a unit and put tn regimental form as part of the new National Ouard.

The theme is such aa the Court of Versailles would find amus ing, the story of a disillusioned gal' lant who falls' Inevitably into the wtles of a fresh charmer before -the final curtain. In "Love's Surprise" the main personages are a countess and her lover, aided In their plots by their respective attendants, Arlequln and Columbine, while the love story of two peasants duplicates the comedy of their Dt rector Jacques Copeau provided the simple tale with a delightful Wat- teau aetting, with costumes la keep ing with the characters, and the music waa an echo of the theme. Valentine Teesler made a charming countess, and Duclenne Bogaert a piquant Columbine.

Henri Dhurtal waa satisfactory as Lello, the gallant, and Jean Farm ant made a lively Arlequln. The peasant roles were also, well taken.

IT ll.lbOLliUUIil MODS ATTACKED Lawyer Altman, In Address Before 11th A. D. Republicans, Reforms. SOME PAINFUL INJUSTICES. Says Judges Should Give an Account to Bar.

lawyer Harry H. Altman, in an address on "The Poor Mam's Court," before the members of the Eleventh Assembly District Republican Club, at a meeting held last night at the clubroqma IS 3 Greene avenue, made a bitter attack upon the method of conducting the Municipal Courts and made a grave accusation against a certain railroad corporation which. he said, has a system of beating down every case brought against it. It was well known," Mr. Alt-man said, "that a Judge who is, now dead used to sleep on the bench and occasionally more, much to the amusement of the spectators in court.

He often would wake up and ask, What waa the last Question." "Thla same Judge used to flip a coin In deciding a case. It waa known for eight years that his board ing bouse waa the real court. Law. yers knew these things, but taey did not dare apeak of them until he waa dead, tm court Is supposed to deal out to the masses of the people' speedy Justice. But there are too many Instances of unnecessary details and painful Injustices.

The fault la due to some of the rales and practices of the court aa well aa to many alow Judges and unprogressive Judges. Wa have a clumsy jury system, in zaci many lawyers proclaim It vicious in that it affords much opportunity for dragging out cases and sometimes entirely defeating a Just cause. The Judges should give an account to the Bar and to the people, periodically, for the common good. There should be co-operation and more conciliation. Just now there Is neither.

and there seems to be a distance, an unhealthy distance, between Judge and lawyer and litigant. "There are plenty of remediea xr only the Judges would give ear and be willing to bear from those who might also know something, or have something to suggest. We need more sense on the bench, rather than more law; attention to Business; a run day's work in a full week; lees vaca tions; a sensible summer acheduie; co-operation with lawyers; conciliatory confabs with litlganta and law yers; detaur cut out; legai lee finicalities shunned: accounts by the Justices be rendered to the public; and above all. more friendliness and less aloofness; the old Anglo-Saxon notion of dignity with awe has no further place among Amer ican Instltut'ons. This does not mean that there should ba no respect for law or Judges or order.

Kindliness will breed rrutual friendly consideration and respect. "As it Is now, lawyers are constantly 'cussing the Judges and the system. Persona having al cause to come to this court are afraid to go there. Witnesses do not wish to be bothered.

"Since our last meeting, our Board has again been honored In having two its distinguished members appointed to very Important offices, frank Mann as Tenement House Commissioner and Dr.

Henry J. Kempf as chairman, of the Examining Engineers, Department of Street Cleaning. From my intimate knowledge of the ability and character of these gentlemen. I am confident they will fill these Important offices In a manner to gain the approbation of the public. "We are pleased, too.

to note that eeveral more of our- Eastern District neighbors have been fittingly honored by receiving appointments to office, Cornelius M. Sheehan. as Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity; Francis P. Bent, Director Bureau of Contracts and Supplies; David IHrshfield, Commissioner of Accounts; Andrew T.

I have no doubt all the gentlemen whom I have named will so conduct their several offices aa to gain the confidence and support of our citizens. i "It mirht be fitting In this connection to state that those of us who supported Mayor Hylan at the recent election helped very materially to place the Eastern District on the map of the greater city, "For many years: we asked for a proper representation from the Eastern District among our city officials and in the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and at last we have been given fitting representation, for Borough President i Rlegelmann as well as the Mayor are Eastern District citizens.

"We have every reason to believe because of the Interest Mayor Hylan always evinced In the project for the Improvement of Jamaica Bay that the near future will see some activity along the lines Indicated. The appointment of Henry A. Meyer, president of the Jamaica Bay Improvement Association, aa Deputy Dock Commissioner, la another Indication of the friendly attitude of the present administration towards this extremely Important) Improvement.

I stated tn a previous report that the conservation of the country's financial resources during the war la of prime Importance, but my reason for urging this Improvement at thla time is because I am of the opinion that the Improvement of Jamaica Bay will tend very materially to do away with the congestion which unfortuately" la interfering with the progress of the necessary war work tn and about the harbor of-New Tork. "The appointment of ex-Congressman Murray Hulbert as Dock Commissioner will undoubtedly hasten the completion of increasing and deepening of the I channel to Hell Gate, which Is absolutely-necessary In order to make It possible for the largest dreadnoughts to pass Into Dong Island Sound from New Tork. Mr, Hulbert while In Congress took a great Interest In this matter and is largely responsible for the successful campaign tn its behalf. Goal Shortage Mast Be Relieved. "The unfortunate shortage of coal la a matter of deep concern to all of us, and tt is to be hoped that the conditions will soon be alleviated: for It Is no doubt causing hardships In many directions.

I have no doubt, very soon bring about Improved conditions In the coal situation, i "It la rather unfortunate for our school children that apparently no new school was started in 1911 or In 1917, for this undoubtedly will mean a greater number of pupils on half time unless some plan can be evolved to avoid this distressing situation. fias- orten occurred to me tfiet it would greatly facilitate the building of schools if a sort of uniform plan and specification i waa adopted subject, of course, to such slight Chan ires as may from time to time be advisable.

The drawing of new plana and specifications for. every new school-house spells delay which so frequently militates to the disadvantage of our school children. I would be glad to have Dra Brundage and Bchondel-merer. Who have alwaaya handled our school matters so ably, give soma thought to thla suggestion. Unsightly Fence and Sand Dump.

Dodd In a rvtw of the evolution of the police court of areeter New Tork before the Broadway Board of Trade at a meeting beI4lat night at 10SS Gates avenue the greatest -advancement In execution of the municipal laws in New Tork waa the re moral of thf police from the magistrate courts and the substitution of regularly ap- polnted court attendants; the estab lishment of the Bureau of Probation, and the Court of Domestic Relations.

Thee three departments, the magistrate said, constituted the greatest advancement sine the inception of i he magistral esT court. The regular business of the board served aa a curtain raiser to Magistrate Dodd'a address. President Nathaniel H. Levi read his monthly report at the openings Many minor matters were relegated to allow Magistrate rodd to speak. "The greatest single factor In the arwHlng police caves in New Tork is the department of probation," said Magistrate Dodd.

"And nna of the exponents of this theory Is r.one the less than your Mayor, and fact that he appointed Mrs. Ellen O'Grady to the high post of a police -mmissVnershlp attests this. I believe this selection is one of the best the Mayor made, and I know that through her long association with the t-oorts as a probation officer she will fulfill the office in a creditable manner to herself and to the administration. Problem of Handling Boys. "It's too bad we haven't a means for the handling of the boy between IS and ri.

We have a number of i rife titrations for wayward girls, but we haven't ar place to take care of our boys. Prom the time a boy leaves school, at about the age of 13. If he bos any money the first place he roes is to a. movie or to a. cheap dance hall or to a pool room.

FVom this associ ation, particularly the latter, it Is airf the I easy step to his first crime. And the I cortiNs part or it is that we have no weans of guiding thai: boy until he caaoommittea nls nrst crime. "If I had my way I would rid the community of all such places. They are havens for thugs, gangsters, pick-ywket and all sorts of loafers. They areacaderniea of crime of the worst ert and should be cleaned out of the city: It is this association and companionship that sends more boys off on" the wrong- foot than any other temptation set before the young manhood of any dry." The speaker was applauded when he raH tie hoped to ree In the near fwture a centralization of factory Inspection.

Under the present system faytery owners, store proprietors and other property owners are subjected to an Inspection by the police, the Fire Department, the Insurance Department, the Health and Tenement House Inspectors. This, he said, f-hould be changed, and all Inspections should come under one head, so that the owner of property might know at once and from one wimie the exact status of -the law. This change. Mr. I "odd thought, wss not far away, and he advised the Broadway Board to devote some of Its energies to bringing about this reform at the earliest wssibl moment.

President Devi's Report. In his report President Devi said In art: "1 have no doubt I am echoing the -entiments of our members when I tommend Mayor Hylan for his criticism of the Broadway elevated, and the Broadway Board of Trade will. 1 am sure, support with all the power it Its command tha Mayor's demand for a speedy improvement In the ser- ice oz in ell line, wmcn uiis unw is very unsatisfactory. It seems to 1 very poor policy on the part of he B. K.

T. not to make every effort have both elevated and surface Mr service as adequate as It Is possl-le to make It. fot satisfactory service means more passengers and incidentally mora inhabitants for Brooklyn. "In this connection I bring to your attention the fact that we have again taken up with the Public Service Commission the disgraceful and dan gerous congestion which takes place daily during the rush hours at the Canal street station, when the passen-gera change from the new Union Square subway to the Broadway or Myrtle avenue elevated. In reerxmse to our latest letter the Public Service Commission, through Its secretary, James B.

Walker, wrote your president. In part, as follows: "Rep tying to yorrr letter of IT. it ha been decided to make certain structural changes which will Include the buiidtnc of two additional exit stairway a. To further relieve congestion, a new plan of operation was put tn effect yesterday, which seems to ba working well. Under this plan trains operating through the Centre stieet loop subway and over the Wil liamsburg Bridge will start through Chambers street with heavy loads.

making no stops at Canal street station. Instead, the local trains operating over the same route are now started from Canal sttoet station, so that the transfer passengers who formerly crowded this station, and many of whom found It impossible to board the heavily loaded trains coming from Chambers street now find empty trains ready for them to board. IneJdeDtaOy. I may amy that the trains atartlng at Canal street are each composed of five ef the new steel cars, which are larger than the old wooden cars, so that the train capacity Is materially increased.
