Miss Joan Baldwin at her recital at
Steinway Hall last night showed
much ability. Her programme was an
ambitious one and at the same time
lengthy 1t comprised fourteen num-
bers. The fair young pianist is pos
sessed of many qualifications that
should assist her, with patience and
practice, to reach a high place in the
ranks of professional musicians.
While Miss Baldwin was pleasing in
all her numbers. the feature of the
evening was her really remarkable
rendition of the Rhapsodie Hongroise
No. 8, "Carneval de Pesth,' by List.
Here her abilities showed at their
best. The tender passages were given
with much delicacy and feeling and in
the heavy portions of the composition
she exhibited unexpected strength and
powers of endurance. She gave the
difficult Chopin numbers with much
appreciation of the composers ideas
The four selections by Albert 1. Elkus
were little gems in their way and
were daintily interpreted.
Miss Baldwin opened the concert
with selections from Schumann, but
was less at home in these than in the
other numbers. Perhaps she was a
trifle nervous. Hugo Mansfeldt should
certainly be proud of his pupil

Rally to Be Held Saturday
Night at the Union Hall
to Be an Important Event

The second days session of the con-
vention of the Seamen's Union Of
America was devoted principally to
routine business. 1t is expected by
Thursday the routine work will be
completed and the convention will take
up the important matters that are to

make it necessary to revise some of
the laws of the International body.
A special committee. composed of
Delegates p. Scharrenberg, w. II. Jen-
kins and Daniel Sullivan, was appoint
ed to devise ways and means of estab-
fishing a home for aged and decrepit
seamen. Unusual interest is taken in
this question.
An appeal from f. A. w. O'Dell of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union was
read, which earnestly requested the
seamen to recognize the stamp of this
union a like request was heard from
Woodworkers' Union of America, ask
ing the seafaring men TO recognize
their trademark. Both appeals were
favored by the body.
A report from Daniel Sullivan, a
third vice president of the union, was
read, which treated of the condi-
tions of the American seafaring man.
Another important resolution was
introduced by Delegate F. Scharren-
berg, who urged the International body
to affiliate with the Transport Workers
Union of America.
The Orpheum has been selected for
a theater party, to be given to the Wis
iting delegates this evening.
Arrangements have been made for a
banquet Saturday evening at down.

in this port, and they are urgently re-
| quested to attend. as many important

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Constanti-

fore the court from time to time for
more than a year. has ended in an
order bv Sir Francis Jeune against
the wife to make her husband a
handsome allowance, to be increased
on the death of her mother.
When Constantinidi obtained di-
vorce from his wife. Julia. daughter
of the late Stephen Ralli. a million
aire merchant, he was awarded the
record damages of 1925, 900. The case
was also remarkable as being the only
instance where the husband, who
himself admitted misconduct. had
obtained a divorce.

be succeeded by f. T. Jeffery, presi-
dent of the Denver and Rio Grande
road who was recently elected a di-
rector of the former company. JEFF
fery's elevation to the presidency of
the Western Pacific will not surprise
many who have been watching close
ly the affairs of that concern, especial
~ since it became known that the
Gculds were behind it. The Goulds
have reposed great deal of confidence
in Jeffery. Early in the year they
gave him authority to direct the sur
veying/ operations along the proposed
route of the new railway.
telegram from President Bart
nett. who is now in New York, was
received here yesterday denying re-
cent reports to the effect that the
construction of the road might be

BERLIN SHOWS A HEAVY
DECREASE IN BIRTH RATE
Same Conditions Prevail i'm All Large
Cities of the German En-
Dire

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-Of1cial statistics
covering twenty-six years show a
steady and noticeable decrease in the
birth rate in the large cities in Ger
many, in spite of the fact that
the marriage rate is higher than in
cities of less than 100000 inhabitants
and in the country.
Berlin. which passed the 1000, 900
mark in December. presents the
heaviest decrease in the birth rate. In
the period from 1896 to 1900 it aver
aged 2S.9, against 44.9 from 1875 to
1880. The highest birth rate is in the

PANAMA HOLDS
CELEBRATION
Big Popular Demonstration
in Honor of the Recent
Pact With United States
TAFT ONE OF SPEAKERS
Assures His Hearers That
the Greatest Good Will
Exists Between Countries

PANAMA, Dec Ga supplemental
agreement signed this morning be-
tween Secretary Taft and President
AmadOr and Foreign Minister Guardia
provides that after December u no
cargOes can be landed at the canal
ports except on presenting Panama
consular invoice from the port Of ship
ment
The original plans for a popular
demonstration in the public square in
celebration Of the ratification Of the
agreement was carried out last night.
Secretary Taft made a speech. during
which he congratulated the republic
on selecting the distinguished physi-
clan, DR.. AmadOr, for President, and a
leading lawyer and Jurist as Vice Pres
ident, thus indicating the desire Of the
people that the civil authorities should
be superior 10 the military and that
the army should only be an instrument
for the support Of the civil Govern
ment.
The Secretary criticized the order
which. he said. he himself had issued.
putting ia force the Dingley tariff bill
on the canal zone and the isthmus as
being & mistake. Friction between the
fVo governments was undoubtedly
eaused by that order. II was fair to
say that the order was made against
the recommendation of Governor Da-
Wis. He felt sure that a reading Of the
agreement would satisfy every i'm
partial person that the United States
had no desire 10 acquire any power
or property in the isthmus except that
necessary 10 build, maintain and pro-
tect the canal
Secretary Taft said the agreement
was one which had been reached be-
cause both sides were desirous TO
achieve results.
Pablo Arozemena. the Liberal leader,
expressed satisfaction at the agree
ment. and added that il was gratifying
70 the administration.
Fireworks. music and the distribu-
tion Of free beer followed. during
which small coins were thrown into
the crowds from the balconies.

SVICIDE HARVEY'S BODY
is FOUND IN THE BAY.
Young Man While Demented Jumps
OF the Steamship Corona While
Passing Through Golden Gate.

The dead body of man supposed
to be Robert w. Harvey or Bert w.
Harvey, formerly of Eureka, Hum
boldt County, was found floating in
the bay yesterday morning near Hun
ters Point. A letter addressed "B. w.
Harvey. Fort Jones, Siskiyou County"
was signed by his mother and was
mailed at Eureka, October 5, 1904.
Another letter addressed Bert Har-
vey'' was from his brother, R. L. Har-
vey. on the ietter-head Of E. G. Pluke,
Eureka, Cal.

the way to Eureka. Harvey had been
out of his mind for several days and

CARTER STILL
DEFIES COURT
Governor of Hawaii Refuses
to Obey Second Summons
to Appear Before Judge
DEFINES HIS POSITION
Says 1t Is Not Compatible
With Dignity of Office
to Recognize the Order
Special Dispatch to The call.

HONOLULU, Nov. 29.-Another stage
of the deadlock between Governor Car
ter and Judge Gear over the refusal Of
the Governor to obey a subpoena has
been passed. When Governor Carter
disregarded a second subpoena Judge
Gear said the jury may be directed to
acquit the defendant.
The question at stake is. whether
Auditor j. H. Fisher is really Auditor
of the Territory. as the Governor holds
his undated resignation. Judge Gear
decided that, there being no doubt
that Mr.. Fisher has been, and is now,
acting as de facto officer of a de jure
office, his testimony should not be
stricken out, even if he does not hold
the office under a full and legal ap-
pointment. The motion to strike out
on the ground stated will therefore be
denied"
Setting forth his reasons for not an
swering the summons of the court. the
Governor wrote to Attorney General
Andrews, as follows:
In response to the inclosed summons. served
on me this morning, TO appear witness in
Judge Gears court, of respect to this
court, CO ordinate department OF the Terri
tory, l desire you 10 appear in person on my
behalf and inform the court that l have no
information which could possibly be OF service
in connection with the case in question, and
do not believe IL is compatible with the dig
nifty Of the office l hold to allow il 10 be
subjected to the orders of the court. prompt
ed by the whims opinions of attorneys 1t
is the law that should be obeyed, not the law
yers.
The absence Of the Secretary of the Territory
makes the demands on my time for the de-
tails Of this office far in excess of what is
usual, and in my opinion high public interests
might suffer If / admitted that the courts
