FLORENCE LEE HOLT NAN
GIVES SONG RECITAL
Signor Campanari Of Metropolitan
Opera Company Appears.

Florence Lee Hoffman assisted by
several well-known musicians, appeared
yesterday afternoon at the Lafayette
Theater in a song recital. Miss Hoffman
is a Washington singer who has under
gone course in vocal instruction wit
prominent teachers in this country and
Europe and contemplates an operatfc
debut in the not distant future
Miss Hoffman gave the aria from
Bemberg's La Mort de Jean Dare in
excellent style and was compelled to
respond to an encore. Her other num-
bers included two Henschel numbers,
Saint-Saens' familiar Mon occur SQUIRE
a ia voix,' Tschaikowskys "Toujours d
Toi," Bemberg's ''Nymphes ct Faunes, =
and p scene from La Traviata" with
.Signor Campanari. Miss Holtzman's voice
is pleasing soprano and she sings with
much ease. Her program, however, was
somewhat ambitious and at times proved
difficult of treatment.
Signor Campanari, baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, was the
sensation of the afternoon and called
forth such bursts of enthusiasm that he
not only exhausted his repertoire but
threatened TO do likewise to his physical
strength in responding to recalls. His
singing of SpeilIi's "Serenade," given in
the wings, was done with such fervor
that he was forced to repeat the number
Another notable selection was 'L'alba
d'Amore" by Kronitz. Beginning with a
pianissimo, Signor Campanari read the
song with gradual crescendo up to a
double forte finale which took the au-
dience, metaphorically, off its feet
Janet Spencer, contralto, proved anoth-
er interesting artist. Miss Spencer's
voice is, in reality. a mezzo soprano, of
beautiful, liquid quality, wide range and
much power. The most notable feature
of her work was the supreme ease and
mastery of her piano passages. Her
executive abilities were marked and the
shading artistically done.
Oscar Gareissen was the accompanist
of the afternoon.

SAM SIMS TESTIFIED
IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Says He Only Fired at Williams IN
Order to Scare Him.

Samuel Sims. the negro who is on trial
in Criminal Court No. l, for the murder
of James Williams, also a negro, on
January % last, yesterday testified IN
his own behalf. He said on the date
mentioned he was at the Moten cottage,
in Brookland. with several other ne
groes. The others showed they did not
wish him there and warned him to leave.
This Sims said he did When only n
short distance from the house, he said,
two or three persons followed him and
one of them said Lets beat him. -
On hearing this Sims says he took his
pistol from his pocket and discharged
it in the air. He then continued to so
away from the Moten cottage. The ne
groes whom he had left, including Will
liams, Sims says, continued to threaten
him, and he warned Williams not to
come near him. Sims says he was then
about twenty or thirty feet away from
Williams. The latter. however, con-
tinued to approach, holding his right
hand in his hip pocket. 1t was at that
time, Sims says, he fred the second
shot; even then, he says, he again fired
solely for the purpose Of soaring Will
liams
A number of persons were called as
witnesses and testified that Sims repu-
tation for peace and good order is ex-
celleut among those who know him.
The case will probably be submitted 20
the jury this afternoon.
