MAKES HIT IN WEST
Miss Harriet Marie Choppers
Signing Charms Pasadena
Public.
STUDYING FOR oPERATIC STAGE
To Appear With Los Angeles Choral
Society Coming
Winter.

Miss Harriet Marie Cropper, whose
soprano voice was heard here on nu-
merous occasions last winter, and
who recently left with her mother for
Pasadena, Cal, has scored quite hit
with her singing in her new home.
The following from the Pasadena Ev-
ening Star will be read with interest
by her Rock Island friends:
Much interest is being. manifested
by the musical people of the city in
Miss Harriet Marie Chopper, the gift
ed young soprano of the First Presby-
terrain church, who lately came here
from Rock Island with her mother,
Mrs. Mary ID. Cropper. Miss Chopper
has not appeared in concert here as
yet, but even in the limited oppor-
tunity afforded by her singing in the
church she has shown herself the
Possessor of great musical gifts.
But for an attack of bronchitis
that neccssitated her seeking mild
er climate, Miss Chopper would now
be in Europe studying for opera. OPP
era or oratoriO is the goal she hopes
to reach, and has from the time she
first began to study. Miss Cropper
gave an impromptu recital to three
friends yesterday afternoon at her
cosy little home on Ramona street
Her program was varied, embracing
Henschefs Spring Song the Waltz
Song from Romeo and Juliet New
ms My Desire and a charming little
darkey melody by the same compos-
er. She also sang couple of duets
with her mOther-a selection from III
Trovatore' and Annie Laurie the lat
ter an arrangement for 'two voices by
Mrs. Chopper.
Has Dramatic Temperament.
in speaking of Miss Choppers
voice it is difficult to know Just what
to say first. She sings with feeling,
with taste, with grace. with sweet
ness, with artistic finish. with power
and with a tone control that is re-
markablc for so young singer. Per-
haps the most striking attribute Miss
Chopper displays in her interprcta-
tions, next to the beautiful quality of
her voice. is her thoroughly dramatic
temperament. In every number she
shows complete sinking of her own
personality into the character of the
tips. Her audience is completely for
gotten; she becomes Il spirit Of mu-
sic and sees nothing but the song
picture.
Miss Chopper has been training
since she was Il child of 4; and dur
ing that time she has had no other
instructor than her mother, who is
well-known as a teacher and concert
singer Miss Cropper has all her
young life been accustomed to APP
pearing in public, so that now she is
perfectly at home and free from en-
barrassmcnt before an audience. Her
voice is sweet, but powerful. and it's
range extends from G. below middle c
to E in alt. Miss Chopper was the So
loist one night at the chautauqua at
Long Beach in August, and her voice
easily carried above the 800 voices of
the chorus and the orchestra of so
pieces. She is engaged to sing at one
performance of the Los Angeles Sym
phony this winter, and with the Los
Angeles Choral society"

ASKED TO RESIGN
Mayor w. 3. FarVer, of Clinton,
Has Gotten Into Dis.
favor.
COUNCIL PREFERS THE REQUEST
Trouble Due to an Unsavory Incident
That Took Place Last
Week.

The city council of Clinton has ask
ed for the resignation of Mayor w. b.
Farver, of that city, six out of nine
aldermen signing the following COM
munication which was adopted and or
dered spread upon the minutes:
whereas, Information has come to
the undersigned members of the city
council of the city of Clinton, Iowa,
that your conduct and personal action
have been such as in our Judgment
to bring the good name, honor, stand
ing and credit of the city into dis
repute, and as consequence its bust
ness interests and welfare are jeOpar-
died, therefore we, in our official ca
pacity and as representatives of the
whole people, ask that you at once
tender your resignation as mayor"
Has Not Acted.
Mayor Farver before putting the
motion upon the request stated that
he would refuse to resign, and he has
subsequently taken no action. The
cause for the request is to be found in
an incident that occurred last Friday
night and is told of by the Herald as
follows:
There was quite a commotiOn on
Main street at IL o'clock Friday night.
y buggy had been driven up Sixth
street at a rapid gait, and at Main
the wheels of the vehicle caught in
the car tracks and one of the occu-
pants of the buggy, a woman, was
thrown out. Officers Stoltenburg and
Philips FASTENED to the spot and
4 " L.,
proved to bc Mrs. Ida Bedford. The
other occupant of the buggy was
Mayor w B. Farver.
'''They had been indulging in loud
and boistrous language and had driv-
en- the horse at Il rapid gait Quite
crowd gathered around and the affair
occasioned great deal of talk. 1t
is understood that the officers would
have placed the mayor, who was
equally as guilty of law transgression
as was his companion, under arrest,
but were threatened by the city's
head executive with discharge if they
fulfilled their duty in that respect.
RumOr has it that the mayor threat
ened to discharge them anyway, if
they arrested his companion.
Protest Did Not Avail.
but despite his protestations and
those of the woman, who furiously
resisted arrest. the north side night
patrolmen took Mrs. Bedford in
charge and lodged her in the woman's
cell of the city Jail. where she spent
the night. In the morning
she was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace j. II. Johnson. Present at
the hearing were Mayor Farver, Con-
stable Stebbins who had preferred the
charge against the woman. and the
defendant. The charge was disorderly
conduct and Mrs. Bedford was fined
