"Our women aro In nil fields. Some, aro

"I cbmo to this country with tho knowl
edge, approval and material assistance
of the Serbian Government. I come to
thank the American people for what they

worthy of support and to emphasize the
fact that we, as a nation, have nothing to
do with the nssasslnatlon of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand."

for Dissension
RESIGNATION REPORTED
Relations of Two 'Cellists Called

Music lovers In this city nro gravely
concerned today over the dissension In
tho Philadelphia Orchestra, often referred
to as tho "best In tho country," ns dis
closed in the reported resignation of
nnother of Its leading members today,
following tho resignation of Herman Sand
by, first 'cellist nnd an nrtlst of Interna
tional reputation, yesterday.
Hans Klndlcr, third 'cellist, who has
been doing most of tliA solo work this
season, had a short conference today with
Iwopold Stokowskl, lender of the orches
tra, following which Mr. Stokowskl made
the simple Rtntcment thnt tho conference
had been of "an exceedingly delicate na
ture" and that ho did not care to discuss
It until ho had time for further delibera
tion. Mr. KlndlcrVndcd the direct qucs
tlon ns to whether he had turned In his
resignation or mil. The resignation of
Mr. Snndhy was accepted today by the
Philadelphia Orchestra Association.
Members of tho orchestra say that tho
friction In their midst has coma about
through Jealousy between the two 'cellists.
Mr. Sandby, one of tho most talented mu
sicians In this country, has como to bo
tho Idol of Philadelphia concert lovers,
but It Is said that he has been given but
llttlo solo work this year. This has all
been dono by Hans Klndlcr, tho third
'cellist, who is only 12 years old, and Is
said to bo ono of tho most promising
young 'cellists In tho country. His friends
say that Mr. Sandby, who Is a much older
man, has become Intensely jealous of the
work of the youngor musician.
When questioned concerning this Mr.
Sandby grow red In tho face and said that
ho had nothing to do with Mr. Klndlcr.
"I am first 'cellist and he Is third." ho
said. "Therefore, I do not have occasion
to associate with him. I have nothing to
say ns to my reasons for resigning. I havo
made no definite plans. I cannot say
whether I will go to Now York or not, ns
has been reported, nor havo I mada any
statement that I would open a school for
advanced pupils nnd do concert work."
Hans Klndlcr said that while ho and
Mr. Sandby wcro "not exactly good
friends" they were on "friendly terms."
"If ho does not like mo I cannot help it,
but I havo nothing against him."
"I havo not thought nbout tho matter
of resigning this year any moro than I
did Inst year. I might resign und so
might all tho rest, for that matter. Thero
Is plenty of time to consider tho matter.
I. have not received any offers, but It
would bo easy enough for mo to obtain
another position. Just tho same as It will
he for Mr. Sandby to obtain another posi
tion." Alfred Lcnartz, second 'cellist of tho
orchestra, lain lino to succeed Mr. Sandby,
but no action has been taken ns yet.
Arthur Judson, manager of the Phila
delphia Orchestra, said that members of
tho orchestra wcro given until the 16th of
March to apply for moro money for tho
coming season or to resign. The con
tracts of those who will do neither of these
things will be automatically renewed for
the next senson.
Mr. Sandby will give a concert In Wlth-
erspoon Hall beforo the University Exten

called his "farewell, concert,"

Payroll Padding by Women Pol
itician Alleged in Chicago
Graft Scandal
CHICAGO. Feb. 23. The political at
mosphcro of Chicago was filled With
charges and counter-charges today, as
the "battle of petticoats" In the municipal
grntt charge scandal waxed hotter every
hour. Payroll padding by women politi
cians was the latest allegation In the
"Malislc-says-you-must-comc-across" epi
sode. Each new graft chnrgo made by Mrs.
Pnge Walter Ilaton, resigned superin
tendent of social surveys, was denied by
tho person at whom It was aimed. Mayor
William Halo Thompson, spcnklng for
himself nnd Mrs. Thompion, who Is known
to her close friends ns Mnlzlc, says today
that a thorough Investigation of Mrs.
Katon's statements thnt Bho was com
pelled to give up onQthlrd of her $3000
snlary as part of tho graft program, was
under way.
Mrs. Louis Osborne Howe, Commissioner
of Public Welfare, wob thirtnrget of Mrs.
Katon's latest shafts. According to Mrs.
Katon sho was presented by her superior
with a proposition to carry a "dummy" on
tho department payroll, the salary of the
"dummy" to bo split between Mrs. riowc
nnd Mrs. Katon Previously Mr. Knton
had charged that Mrs. Itowe compelled
her to give up nne-tlilrd of her snlary. say.
Ing thnt Mrs. Thompson hnd ordered It,
and that the money was for Mrs. Mar
garet 13. Mlvlcz, sister of tho Mayor's wife.

RUlt of tho graft charges. It was re
ported thnt Mr. Hoyne was preparing to
make an Investigation with a view to tak
ing tho matter before the grand Jury.
Another Investigation Is being con
ducted by n City Council Committee which
will meet Friday to go over the charges
and counter charges.
BREAK WITH GERMANY
SEEN IN WILSON'S STAND
Continued from I'nse One
of Congress who nre absolutely opposed to
tho present policy of tho Administration,
and some of them aro expected to decline
to keep quiet nt the request of tho White
House.
Olllclals who know President Wilson's
views say that unless Germany accepts the
position of the United States thnt all
merchant vessels, nrmed or unarmed, will
not bo attacked without warning a break
In tho diplomatic relations between this
Government nnd tho Central Powers can
not be avoided.
This break will como simultaneously
with tho first attack on a vessel carrying
Americans, cither as passengers or mem
bers of tho crew. It was explained today
that It might como sooner should Ger
many, In her reply to tho demands mndo
on Count von Kernstorff, flatly reject the
suggestion of this Government that It
agree to observe tho requirements of In
ternational law In Its renewed submarine
wnr, which is to begin a week from today.
Thero Is no attempt being made to dis
guise the belief In official circles thnt
the situation Is fraught with serious pos
sibilities. Tho rresldent'n now nttltudc.
Officials SaV. Will nermlt of nn rnmnrnmlan
If advices from German sources accurately
reflect tho viewpoint of the Berlin Gov
ernment, officials say that n diplomatic
break Is certain. Hut officials hero are
hopeful that Germany eventually will ac
quiesce in tho American position that
International law shall bo observed In all
submarino operations.
It Is considered certain, however, that
a definite result one way or the other
will bo obtained within tho next 10 days.

Haven Ilnllroad's shore lino division. In
which 10 persons wero killed nnd moro
than 60 seriously Injuicd.
W. H. Curtis, tho dead engineer of tho
local train that crashed Into tho rear of
tho Connecticut lllver special, today
seemed likely to be blamed for the crash,
the most spectacular In the New I!acn's
list of disasters. Tho local, It was Bald,
passed two block signals which were
"set" when the train ahead stopped be
cause of a defective air hose.
That the disorganization of the signal
system on the N'cw York division might
bo In part responsible for the wreck Is
the belief hero. The overhead signal
wires were put nut of business In tho
storm of December 13 and 14 Inst, al
though temporary service has been re
stored. For weeks wires havo lain on the
ground nlong the system, replacing the
wires strung on the poles which wero
leveled In the December blizzard.
Ail the Investigators admitted that
they were handicapped because Knglncer
Curtis, his fireman, Hdwnrd McGulnucss,
nnd G. I. Tortcllottee, of West Spring
field, flagman on tho Connecticut lllver
train, wcro all killed In tho wreck.
Harry Schappa, 19, of 102 James street,
nephew of AVIIllam Schappa, Janitor of
New Haven's City Hall, tho 10th victim
of tho wreck, died about 3 o'clock this
morning, at St. Ilapluiel'u Hospital, In this
city.
