providing for compulsory military
training for boy* between eighteen and

Provides for Two Armies
As finally agreed upon, the bill is

College Girls Give City
Glimpse of Past*s Glory
Hunter Student* Parade on
Fifth Avenue in Costumes
of Fifty Years Aeo
Fifth Avenue saw the styles of fifty
years ago yesterday in a fashion
parade of "sweet girl graduates' 'of the
first class of Hunter Colleg Fifth
Avenue marveled at the gorgeous crea?
tions of lace and velvet and satin
which were designed for the glorifica?
tion of the young idea, and decided
that the high cost of graduation
dresses at least is no worse to-day
than it was fifty years ago.
The gowns aro the property of the
college and were released from their
glass cases yesterday for the i;rst time
since their young owners of fifty years
ago outgrew them. The parade was
part of the campaign of Hunter Col?
leg graduates to raise $150,000 for a
new alumnae building, and was followed
by speechmak'ng and motion pictures
on the steps of the Public Library.
The girls who paraded in the finery
of bygone valedictorians were members
of the class of 1920. Miss Helen
Lucky, president of the Students' Self
Goverr?ment League, led the strange
little procession in a costume of black
lace over red satin, topped by a jaunty
little green straw hat, with a plume
nodding over her left eye in most un
academic style.
Others in the parade . were Miss
Lilian Nicholas in yellow satin, Miss Use
Gronau in pink brocaded velvet, with a
train long enough to give nervous pros?
tration to a modern basketball player;
M?33 Mary Towers in black velvet and
Miss Hortense Lion in red velvet.

?Girl Brings Bustanoby
To Court as Her Fiance
I Chorus Member Produces Al- '
leged Suitor in Fij;ht to
Get Child Back
* Fpfciai Ctirrarpovdenc*
BALTIMORE. Md., Jan. 26.?Damaris :
Faston, a chorus girl, produced Jacques
Bustanoby, New York restauranteur, in I
: .Tudge Gorter's court here to-day as her
i fianc? and demanded the customdy of
her daughter, who is eleven years old
: and has not seen her mother for nine
years.
The defendant in the action, which
is based on a writ of habeas corpus ob
: tained by the young woman, is the
* Henry Watson Children's Aid Society.
! The child was born when her mother
1 was only fifteen years old and was com?
mitted to the care of the society, which
placed her in the care of a family here,
which now is said to have adopted the
girl.
Miss Easton says that to all her ap
peals to the society for her daughter
the reply always has been that she,
could have the child when she had a
husband. She argued in court that a
fl?n? was evidence of her intention. '
"When Mr. Bustanoby came into my
life," she said, ''I knew that I would
liave a good husband and tho right kind
of a father for my child. I asked the.
society for her again and they gave me
the the same vague answer as ?>efore."
Judge Gorter reserved decision.
Mrs. Jacques Bustanoby obtained a
"divorce about a year ago.

State Lawmakers
Asked to Protect
U.S. Railroad Bills!
Governor Indorses Objec-1
tions of Nixon and Hill
to Cummins and Esch
Measures in Conference
Staff Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 26.?Governor Smith
to-night submitted to the Legislature a
letter from Lewis Nixon, First District
Public Service Commissioner, and
Chairman Charles B. Hill of the Second
District Commission, protesting against
certain provisions of the Cummins- !
Esch bills in Congress terminating ?
Federal control of the railroads. Both ?
commissioners declared the bills would
interfere seriously *?c!th state control
through the public peivico commis?
sions of public utilities in this state.
"From an examination of these com- j
munications." said t"ne Governor. "I am !
convinced that the "belief of the public,
service commissions is well founded. 1
d.Q not think that the already difficult;
task of regulating and controlling pub
lie utilities in this state should be j
made more difficult by such Federal in- ;
terference as might" result from the :
passage of either of these bills in its
present form.
Appeal to Washington Urged
"I therefore recommend that your
honorable bodies, by suitable communi- ;
cations to our memhers of the United ?
States Senate and House of Representa?
tives, call attention to the necessity of
protecting the interests of this state in
respect to this proposed legislation."
Commissioner Nixon said that cer- '
tain provisions of the bills were men?
acing to the rights of all the states.
He particularly objected to the pro?
visions making it the duty of the Inter- :
state Commerce Commission to investi?
gate any rate, fare, charge, classifica- i
tion, regulation or practice imposed by
the authority of any state. After such
investigation, he said, the Federal com- :
mission is given authority to "remove
any undue burden upon interstate or ?
foreign commerce," notwithstanding the ,
law of any state or the decision of any
state commission.
"If this should become law," said j
Mr. Nixon, "it undoubtedly will operate !
to deprive the state commissions of
their powers to enforce any rate, serv- !
ice or other regulatory order."
Grade Crossing Order Involved
He declared it would also interfere
with the orders of the public service !
commissions in this state, to eliminate I
grade crossings for the purpose of in- j
creasing the safety of traffic on the I
highways. Under the bill an appeal
could be tatken from all such orders
to the Interstate Commerce Commis?
sion.
Commissioner Nixon said any effec- ?
tive action by the Legislature should
be ttaken while the conference com- |
mittee in Congress is considering the |
Cummins-Esch bills.
Assemblyman Warren I. Lee, of !
Brooklyn, to-night introduced a bill
creating a commission of twelve to in- !
quire into the transit situation. The
bill authorizes an investigation into
rates, franchises and service. The Gov?
ernor, President of the Senate and
Speaker of the Assembly are each to
appoint, two members, and the others
are to be composed of an equal number
I of Senators and Assemblymen.

Wants Laws Made Over
Assemblyman Schwab Sees the
Need of New U. S. Constitution
Asesmblyman Bernard Schwab, of
Ridgewood, 2d District of Queens,
wants the entire Federal Constitution
overhauled, because of the present un
' rest. He has introduced a resolution
providing that the New York Legis?
lature petition Congress to order a
constitutional convention.
"I hope this resolution will be
passed at once and tnat there will be
consideration of all our laws, regula?
tion! , constitution and amendments,"
said Mr. Schwab yesterday. "A na?
tional constitutional convention will
afford an opportunity to all labor and
industrial organizations, clubs, socie?
ties, associations and all parties and
all the people of the United States to
make suggestions for the remedying of
any laws that may be objectionable.
We should and must start a campaign
of reconstruction."
Maryland Rent Bill Sets
Profit?t 15 Per Cent
Fine of $1.000 for Those Who
Seek to Evade Proposed
Measure
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2i;.?Any return1
in rentals of more than 16 per cent
will be profiteering under a bill drawn
for presentation at the present session
of the Legislature by Howard Bryan,
president of the second branch of the
City Council.
A tentative draft of the proposed
measure to put a curb on excessive
rents for dwellings and apartments
was made this morning by Mr. Bryan.
Actual cost of construction, plus cost
of betterments and -irround rental,
forms the basis on which the return is
to be estimated under the terms ofI
this bill. In the case of dwellings or
apartments constructed prior to Jan?
uary 1, 1017, the last purchase price1
prior to that time may be used as the
basis upon which rentals may be fig?
ured.
"Upon demand," owners, agents,
lessees or sub-lessees must furnish
proof showing the cost of construction
and improvements. A fine of not more
than $1,()ii0 is pescribed for the first
offense and not more than $5,000 for
the second, or imprisonment for not
longer than one year, or both.

Tells Clergymen
NEWPORT, R. I., Jan. 26.?The pre- [
cept creating the naval court of in?
quiry which is' investigating naval con?
ditions here was read to witnesses for
the first time to-day. Rear Admiral

into the alleged misconduct of a med?
ical officer and the methods used by
him and others in the investigation of
moral conduct in Newport and vincinity
and "all pertinent matters surround
ing and growing out of such investi
gation." -,
The testimony of witnesses to-day,
most of whom were clergymen, con?
cerned the open letter which New?

Wilson on January 10 in compl?Vt
against "certain deleterious and viciou\
methods" used by the navy in attempts
to disclose vice conditions in Newport. !

Grace La Rue Sued
Bv Hale Hamilton's
Wife for $100,000
Alienation of Affection Is
Alleged; Divorce Action1
Brought Against Actor ?
Is ?'-'^^hfL?^y ^u*1
Hale Hamilton, an actor, who **ras
divorced in 1912 by Minnie Dorothy
i Pepper, known on the stage as Jane
? Oaker, and married Miss Maude Myrtle
; Tannehill, is now the cause of a suit
' for $100.000 for alienation of affec?
tions brought in the Supreme Court by
; the second Mrs. Hamilton against Mrs.
i Grace La Rue Chandler. All the par
! ties to the action are on the stage,
Grace La Rue, as she appears on the
J electric signs, being a vaudeville
headliner and musical comedy feature.
In ' fact, the alienation suit reveals
a divorce suit brought against Hamil?
ton by his present wife, in Westches
ler County, which has been heard by
a referee and awaits only an arrange?
ment over the question of alimony to
be closed with a decree in favor of
Mrs. Hamilton.
.Mrs. Chandler was mentioned in this
suit by Mrs. Hamilton and the aliena?
tion suit against her is an outgrowth
, of that case. Further to complicate the
record, Mrs. Chandler is suing her hus
; band, Byron Chandler, who used to be
known along Broadway as "the Million
Dollar Kid," for a divorce in Boston
Some financial consideration has also
prevented that case from being finallj
determined. The Chandlers have noi
lived together for several years. A fe^v
years ago Grace La Rue sued him foi
i separation and "the Million Dollai
Kid" was arrested for non-payment o
alimony. *
Mrs. Hamilton, who played last sea
son with William Gillette, complainc
that while Grace La Rue was playini
in St. Paul in November, 1918, am
Hamilton was with a company il
Omaha, he went to St. Paul to visit th
co-respondent in her divorce suit. Sh
also had certain telegrams, it was sak
thai passed between Miss La Rue o
Mrs. Chandler in Detroit and Mr. Ham
in New York. In one of thes<
. ; was alleged. Miss La Rue ordere
Hamilton to join her in Detroit an
warning him if he failed to do ths
she would come here and make it e>
ceedingly warm for Mr. Hamilton.
Mr. Hamilton is a member of th
Players and the Lambs. One of hi
gr< a* successes on the stage was i
"Get Lieh Quick Wallingford."
Chandler received his nickname h
le his grandmother left him $1.000
. much of which he spent. Gra?
La Rue was the divorced wife t
(."parles H. Burke when she marri?
him.

Sonora, famous for its clear, true, expres?
sive tone which won highest score at the
Panama Pacific Exposition.

is built up to the highest standards and
its quality is not lowered so that it may
