TO READJUST SINGERS* PAY Andreas Dippel, Here on Brief Visit. Discusses Opera. Andreas I>ippel. formerly administrative director of the Metropolitan Opera House and to-day director of the Chicago Opera House, arrived on the Lusitania yesterday with some politic remarks about the "re adjustment" of salaries among singers. '"Hereafter," said he, 'every operatic sin per will be paid a. salary commensurate with his or her drawing- power." "Do you think there will be a cot in salaries as a result of the elimination of Mr. Hammerstein from the field?" he was asked. "Well. I don't care to use the word 'cut.* " was Mr. Dippers deprecating re joinder. "There will, of course, be a re adjustment of salaries in Europe as well as America as a result of the new situa tion." The report that Dalmores. the tenor, had made a contract to sing- for the Metropoli tan for a term of years at a gross salary of JSOO.OQi) the impresario considered "largely newspaper talk." He would not say whether any basis existed for the re port. He -was equally uncommunicative with regard to the plans of the Metropoli tan or of the Chicago Opera House involv ing Mine. Tetrazzini and Miss Mary- Garden. "I really discuss those subjects now." he said last night at the Hotel Knickerbocker, where he is staying. "The middle of next week we expect to issue a statement. Until then you will have to excuse me." Mr. LMrpel was very much en<~oura|red by the steady improvement in his wife's condition. In April he was called in haste to Hiea, where Mrs. Dippe! still remains, because of her prave condition. "Then," said he. "there anas a fear in o-ir minds that recovery was impossible. Now I am happy to say that Bbc Is sure to recover. " The director's visit her* will be bripf. He will stay in this city a few days and then po to i^hicagt). where he experts to spend an equally short time transacting his busi ness. He will then return through New- York to Ni<:e. SHUBERTS IN REALTY DEAL Prove To Be in Syndicate That Bought Herald Square Property. The valuable Broadway block between 33th and 36th streets, extending west to Seventh avenue, which changed hands on June 1, has been acquired by "a realty syndicate headed by Lee Shubert and others at a pur chase price of approximately $6.ofy> t ono. The, land involved includes practically the entire block, with the exception of the Park & Tilford property and the State Ar senal The purchase was made through F. & G. Pflomm. and includes the Herald t Square Theatre, twenty-five dwellings, apartment houses and stores. Th» Broad way fror.tage was purchased from Cnarles E. Johnson. The manner in which this property will be utilized has not yet been decided. The present pian is to erect a combination hotel, tl eatre and office building, but this may be abandoned If Mr. Sb,ubert and his asso ciates decide to accept a proposition which has already been made by a drygoods house. In any event, the theatrical season of "■••■.-:: will be the last for the Herald Square Theatre, of which the lessees and managers are the Messrs. Bbubert. NEW PLAYS FOR SHUBERTS They Secure Four New Theatre Pro ductions for Next Season's Use. Four plays that were produced at The New Theatre last season •will be played on the road next season under the direction of the Messrs. Sh;:bert. Guy Bates Post, who will not be a member of The New Tneatre repertory company next year, will appear in "The Xlgger"; Charles Cherry, who played under Daniel Frohman'* manage ment at the Lyceum Theatre in "The Spit fire," will star in "Don," and George Faw cett will be at the head of the "Strife" company. Later m the season, Mr. Shubert said, he would send out a company in "The Cottage in the Air." Other plays produced at The New Theatre last season will be held in repertory. Mr. Bhuhert, by reason of his position as house manager of The Xew Theatre, is able to secure the producing rights of such plays as the directors wish to dispose of. The latter, however, say that they are open to offers from any producer who wishes to 6ec:re the rights to their plays. Last season many playwrights were unwill ing to dispose of their manuscripts to The. New Theatre because of the small royalties offered. Where The New Theatre paid to authors 5150 a performance for an average, say. of two performances i week, other managers would have paid them 5 to 10 per cent of the gross receipts during a long run. Sendinc out plays on the road after The New Theatre is done with them will lx» an added Inducement to authors. Mr Shubert said. to sell their plays to The N«t Theatre. Incidentally it offers Mr. Shubert a very good line on plays for his own use. SALE FOR ACTORS' FUND. A portrait of John Gilbert as Sir Peter in "The School for S.-andal," painted by John W.

FOR IHE FRESH AIR FOND Workers Who Know Children Gather to Discuss Methods. SUMMER PLANS DISCUSSED Dr. Devins Addresses Those Who Will Select Beneficiaries of Vacation Organization. A meeting of missionaries, spttlemsrt workers, hospital nurses and visitors for charitable agpneiee was held yesterday af ternoon In the parish house of Christ Church, No. 344 West 3«th street, to discuss different plans for sending children to the country In the summer through th" Tribune Fresh Air Fund. The meeting was informal in the extreme and was frequently thrown open to the co workers in order totbrtngr out suggestions and ideas to insure more efficient work in the future. The Rev. T»r John Bancroft Devin«, manager of the fund, presided. He opened the mpptir.g at 4 o'clock with a prayer of thanksgiving for the past success of the or ganization. Dr. Devins then made an urgent pl«»a for co-operation amo-« the workers, and he pointed out the absolute necessity of mutual help if the greatest efficiency was to at tend the work of sending: the deserving children to the country, where they could get plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Eacn member was supplied with a pamphlet giv ing information for the guidance of work ers, and particularly urged to follow Its di rections carefully in choosing and getting children ready for their outing. Dr. Devins explained that failure in the past to ob serve strictly the rules contained In the pamphlet had resulted in keeping children at home who otherwise might have en- Joyed a vacation In the country. The different rules governing the choice and preparation of the children for the trips were then discussed fully. It was made clear that there should be no dis crimination of nationality, religion or sex. Three conditions are absolutely essential: Manifest need, freedom from disease and cleanliness. In regard to who the needy children were and how best to find them there seemed to be a difference of opinion. Pra'- ftical experience in the past has shown that those coming from homes where the par ent* are in moderate circumstances and do what they can for the children are more deserving than those of th» vpry poor, who do not appreciate what is done for them. Children taken from the public schools, under advice of the principals, had shown themselves desirable objects of the fund's beneficence, it was said. t>r. I. Ogden Woodruff gave BOOM sound advice in regard to taking the proper pre cautions against disease and uncleanM ness before admitting the children into the homes. Miss Edith Kendall, of the Friendly Aid House, spoke on the same subject, and emphasized the neeeaalty of impressing upon the children that they were guests, when invited to the country, ami should conduct themselves as Bach. B. E. Austin, of the Ashforth Hill ho:;<=e, spoke words of encouragement to the workers and toM of the children who had proved most acceptable at his country place Dr. Devins then called on the different members for helpful suggestions and asked thp advice of several in solving the mani fold problems which, he said, arose each year in connection with the work. In closing Dr. Pevins remarked on the large attendance at the meeting, the good work of the organization, and emphasized again the neyd of co-operation. JEFFERSON DAVIS'S BIRTHDAY. New Orleans.

AMERICANS MAN NAVY Secretary Meyer Says They Constitute 96 Per Cent. 120 MIDDIES GRADUATED Farewell Ball Ends June Week at Naval Academy — Cruise Starts To-day Annapolis. June Secretary Meyer told ' the graduating class at th© Naval Acad emy here to-day that 'the navy should be ; so constituted and drilled that it will have at all times the greatest possible military efficiency." "Under such conditions only." he added. . "can the navy protect the Interests of the country and Insure peace. The navy is only a menace and a needless expense when it is permitted to deteriorate and when the j military spirit weakens." Taking models of the original Kear*ar*» | and of the modem battleship Michigan as Illustrations. Mr. Meyer said he could think of "no comparison that would demonstrate so well at a glance how the duties of the naval officer have changed, and with it th© characteristics of the officer and blue jacket." Then, after speaking of the en listed men of the navy and saying that. ! while In former years it was often difficult to man the ships with American sailors, to day 96 per cent of the crews are Ameri cans, he continued: ! "While the change in the requirements of the, enlisted man is very great. It is equally. If not more, marked in the officer, and th© transformation that has taken place in th© navy is a transformation not only in per sonnel, but in material and in the methods of handling both. •The battleship of to-day is a vast com plicated mechanism and it requires a skilled personnel to make all parts work in unison to a common end. This rerjuires on the part of officers and men of the navy exact ing drill and training. The young officer of to-day, instead of being sent aloft to furl sails. Is sent down into the stoke: fire the furnaces and tend the boilers. Ther* h«» learns* how everything m maintained in efficient working order to get the greatest speed with the greatest economy of fuel" Mr. Meyer w«r.t on to explain how th© young officer receives a similar training in regard to the other parts of a vessels man agement. Referring to th» personnel bill introduced in Congress by whl'h captains will be created at from forty-three to forty eight years of age and rear admirals at flfty-flve. the Secretary said: •Th« responsibility of commanding a bat tleship involves not only a thousand lives, but a vast expenditure of money and a pos sible loss of a unit in the fleet of strategic. Importance. Therefore, a commanding of ficer shouH be at an age to stand the ner vous as well as the mental and ajfefssssl strain. Our admirals should have more time in that rank to *et practice as squad ron and division commanders before reach ing the ?uprem© command of the fle*t." In conclusion the Secretary admonished the young officers to let their aim b© "an earnest endeavor at all tlm*s to attain th© highest efficiency and not to be satisfied with anything less." •The country looks tn yvO." h* asserted, "not merely to b© content to step in the footprints nf your predecessors, but to make your own footprints and to do under all circumstances The best that fti in you. whether in peace or In war. and Unsi main tain thp reputation of the American navy for progressiveness. efficiency and cour aee." Orie hundred and ISiefUj midshipr reived their diplomas from the hands of Secretary Meyer. wh»> ram* tMn Washington last nigh? on board th" dis patftl boat Dolphin.
