in metropolitan musical circles. The
following is from the Chicago Chron-
icle:
1.-The singing of Miss Chopper was a
revelation to those who heard her last
evening at the Auditorium. Her rendi
ton of the particular style. the ford,
is exquisite, and she has a remarkable
range, her voice blending beautifully.
She has a high soprano voice. which is
under magnificent control. Her eXecu-
ton is excellent and Interpretation
without fault. 1t Is seldom that there
is found a voice which is so florid, and
yet retains the real. true musical ring
and does not lose that mellow quality
that belongs to the musical heart. She
was loudly applauded and responded
to two encores."

DAWSON AT WORK on CASE
Takes Up Matter With Lieutenant
Colonel Russell-Writes to
Mayor Phillips.

Information which has been received
by Mayor Harry w. Phillips of Daven-
port from Congressman Dawson, indi-
Gates that there will be no further re-
auctions in the force of men at Rock
Island arsenal during the year. Mr..
Dawson wrote to Lieut.. Col. A. II. Rus
sell. acting chief of the ordnance de-
partnent- asking for Information, and
an its receipt wrote to Mayor Phillips.
In his reply to Mr. Dawson the follow
ing statement is made by Lieut. Col.
RUSSELL.
at is not anticipated that the pres
ent force of workmen employed at the
Rock Island arsenal will have to be
further reduced during the present fis-
cal year. You will appreciate OF
course, the inability of the department
TO make any statement in regard to
the future. since. as stated above, the
number of employees is dependent upon
the appropriations made by congress.
Should the funds for the procurement
of field artillery material for both the
regular army and the organized mill
tia submitted for transmission to the
next session of congress be appropri-
ated, ii would seem that no further re-
duction in the number of employees en-
gagged in its manufacture at the Rock
Island arsenal would have to be made.
Concerning Labor Conditions.
ct has been the policy of this de-
partment to prosecute work at its sew
eral manufacturing establishments so
as to disturb as little as possible labor
conditions in the vicinity. You will
however. appreciate that the introduc-
ton of new material will at intervals
render some disturbance necessary"
