NINA DAVID TOO I'LL TO SING.
POstpOnement OF the Debut OF a Greatly
Advertised Range OF Top Notes.

Nine. Nina David, who has been heralded
by her manager, Robert Grau, as having
a greater range Of voice than any other
singer in the world, did not make her metro
politan debut last night at Carnegie Hall,
as 1t was advertised she would. The con-
cert was called of, the reason given being
that Nine. David was Ill.
Nine. David comes from the West. No
body here ever heard Of her till Robert
Grau got her for a concert tour and began
to boom her as wonder. She Is the wife
of Henry W. Freidhoff Of st. Louis. He
is a lecturer and q man Of means, and it is
he who is financing his wife's tour.
She gave her first public concert in Pitts
burg on Thursday night. On the following
night she sang in Baltimore, and took cold.
On this account she could not sing in Wash
ington on the following night and yesterday
morning she still had sore throat
A concert will be given at some date in
the future. Nine. David's husband said
last night at the Hotel Savoy, where they
are staying, that she was almost heart
broken over the postponement. While
the preliminary concerts were not very
well attended she and her husband con-
sidered them q success.
Seat holders for the concert had their
money refunded at the box Office at Car

JERSEY PASTORS DISAGREE.
The Rev. Elmer j. Forbes OF 81. Johns
Resents the Intrusion of 81. Matthew's.

In current issue Of the Bulletin, a parish
weekly published by st. Johns Episcopal
Church in Summit avenue, Jersey City, the
Rev. ElmerJ Forbes, vicar, called the atten-
ton Of the parishioners to proposed intru-
sion into St Johns parish" by st. Matthew'S
Episcopal Church. He said that the rector
Of st. Marks church, who Is also rector OF
st. Matthew'S, had asked the standing COM
mittee Of the diocese for permission to
remove st. Matthew's from lower Jersey
City to the Heights, In territory part OF
which is embraced In St. Johns parish.
Rector Forbes said St. Marks rector had
been forbidden TO canvass any part Of
st. Johns parish for the purpose Of obtain
ing either families or subscriptions, and he
urged those approached TO make their
opinion of such disoourtesy so plain that
they will not be disturbed again"
The Rev. Mr.. Forbes wrote a letter to
the Rev. Frederic f. Mortimer Of st. Marks
In which he said II had come to his notice
that canvass was being made between
Belmont and Boyd avenues In the interests
OF st. Matthews church. and added: "Per-
init me to point out that in the absence OF
any permission by the Bishop and standing
committee this is an intrusion into st.
Johns parish and most unfriendly and
dlscourteous act"
MIR. Forbes received this reply yesterday
from Mr.. Mortimer: -No canvassinG in

taken place with my knowledge. What

MRS. GAVIT'S JEWELS FOUND.
Engineer Picked Them Up In New York
and Took Them to New Haven


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 24.-In the vaults
OF the New Haven Trust Company OF this
city there was deposited on Saturday morn
ing a bag containing $4,000 worth OF dia-
monds and other jewels.
Il don't know who they belong TO, said
John F. Hawkins OF 2e2 Forbes avenue, this
city, a locomotive engineer, but they
don't belong to me, and want to put them
here for safe keeping until the right owner
shows up
Hawkins was with his mother in New
York on Friday and he had to wait for a
train at the Grand Central ststion. When
he picked up his handbag and parcels
he didn't notice that he had an extra
satchel. Next morning when he was maxi
ing an inspection Of the things he had
brought from New York he discovered that
he had the strange bag. Then he opened
it and saw the jewels.
Hawkins called in the members OF the
family TO look at the display and then
closed the bag and marched right away
he read OF the loss and learned that the
jewelry was the property Of Mrs. r. Palmer
Gavit of Albany daughter OF Anthony n.
Brady OF New York. He telegraphed to her
and to her father that he had found the
missing jewels and that they could have
them upon coming to this city.
Mrs. Gavit and her husband, who is secre-
tary OF the Municipal Gas Company Of
Albany, had been In New York and were part
of box party that attended a theatre on
Thursday night. They started back to
Albany on the Lake Shore Limited on Fri
day afternoon. Mrs. Gavit carried her
jewels in brown leather bag. They in.
cuded a diamond necklace, a diamond
bracelet and ring set with sapphires Of
rare quality, and pins and other ornaments,
''rs. Gavit and party sat for a while in
the station before train time and when che
finally started for the train she forgot her
bag. She didn't miss >it until the train
had been an hour out from New York.
The train makes no stop until it reaches
Albany and from there the loss OF the bag
and its contents was tolngraphcd to the
New York police. Nothing more was
heard about them until Engineer Hawkins's
MESA gs was received.
Nr. and Mrs. Gavit came to New Haven
this evening and met the engineer He
will get reward. Tomorrow the dia-
monds win be turned over to their owner
by the trust company.

ITALIANS READY KNIFE.
He SIashes O MotOrman and Is POunced
Upon and Beaten by a Crowd.

Passengers in q crowded crosstown car
in Williamsburg last night nearly killed
Seratino Finelli, an Italian baker of 2ls
North Seventh street, after he had stabbed
and seriously wounded the motorman
Charles O'Malley, Of l59 India street.
O'Malleys car was bound for Erie Basin.
At Manhattan and Bedford avenues Finelli's
bakery wagon got in front Of the car. In
the wagon with Finelli was his brother,
John, who was driving.
O'Malley kicked his gong for the Italians
to move of the track and also shouted to
them, but they paid no heed. The pas
sengers, nearly all OF whom were working
folks, became impatient at the delay and
called to the Italians to get out Of the track
The Finellis sneered at the motornan and
passengers.
At Bedford avenue and North Fifteenth
street O'Maley ran his car up close to the
wagon and then stopped it and jumped
of. He ran ahead to get the name and adj
dress on the wagon and while so engaged
Serafino Finelli jumped from his seat and,
drawing a dagger shaped knife, stabbed
the motorman in the chest.
AS O'Malley fell his assailant started to
run away. More than a dozen passengers
jumped from the car and pursued him.
He halted and threatened the crowd IL they
touched him. He was seized from behind
and the crowd began to choke, punch
and kick the Italian. They were dragging
him to a lamppost to hang him when Police
men Owens and Brennan OF the Bedford
avenue station made their way through
the crowd and rescued Finelli. He had
been badly beaten.
Meanwhile hurry call for an ambulance
was sent to st, GATHERINGS Hospital. DR..
Ward found that the motorman was SER
iously wounded. He was taken to the
hospital. Finelli was arrested for felonious
assault and his brother for obstructing the
car tracks. Both were locked up in the
Bedford avenue police station.

Harlem Is to have Yiddish theatre
on Nov. 8. when the Orpheum Music Hal

Leo Sommers and Coroner O'Gorman
OF The Bronx took possession of the house,
putting In a rathskeller and starting off
on Sept. II with an extravaganza called
@The Japskis."
The theatre did not pay owing to the
competition Of the Gotham, the. Olympic

which gave similar entertainments. Coroner
O'Gorman got out of the venture and Som.
mers ran the house on his own hook till
a week ago. when the place closed.
Sommers and George j. Purvis are in

a good thing in it, because there is large

Jewish drama has been tried in Harlem.
