Taylor. of the Boston American Club,
and Treasurer Carl M. Greene. Mr.
Johnson was in Washington on official
business, but is in Boston only on a
social visit and will remain here Il day
or two.
President Johnson was in high spirits
over the way things have developed at
Washington, which just now is. under
his special guardianship, and he thinks
the club is fortunate in having secured
Jake Stahl as manager for next year.
Stahl, he says, is the kind of young
man who will be a credit to baseball as
a manager, and he forecasts success for
him in that role President Johnson
said that it was simply up to the Boston
and Washington managements TO make
the Hughes-W Winters deal if they wished
Hughes Winters Deal
Regarding the Hughes Winters deal,
which Johnson has been reputed as
holding up, the president declared that
he had no objection to Boston securing
Hughes if it desired to do so, provided

a request from one of the chiefs to

After great difficulty the mission was
established, but when in 1868 a pirate
black birding ship came to the island
and abducted a number of the natives,
including the chiefs son, the chief
swore to return TO cannibalism as soon
as he got the chance to set his teeth
into a piece of white flesh. His op-
portunity came the following year,
when an American vessel came to the
island and the mate was made captive.

MADAME GADSK|
MERITS TRIUMPH
WONDERFUL VOICE THRILLS
LARGE AUDIENCE
Convinces Her Hearers That She Is
to Be Ranked Among the
Greatest of Dramatic
Sopranos

Madame Johanna Gadski last night
convinced a large audience OF Los An
geles music lovers that she is to be
counted among the greatest of dramat-
ic sopranos. Although the weather was
most unpleasant, Simpson auditorium
was so we'll fined that there were few
vacant seats when the remarkable pro-
gram began with Schumann's "Wid-
mung."
At the close of the song, it was evil
dent that Madame Gadski had made
a most unusual impression, for she
showed herself to be more than a sing
er of superb technique and extraordi-
nary voice. Her art, many-sided in its
dramatic attainment, is but the vehicle
for the expression of wonderful per-
sonality.
Madame Gadski is first of all an ac-
tress who interprets music with such
supreme passion that it is impossible
TO criticise her work. Last nights re-
cital revealed new possibilities in con-
cert methods. Madame Gadski whose
beauty of face and form wins instant
admiration. stood beside the grand
piano in a position that enabled her to
see her accompanist, H. Selmar Mey-
rowitz. With one hand on the piano
she sang the two Franz sons, 'Lieb-
chen list da" and "Aus meinen grossen
Schmerzen," as If she had forgotten her
audience and was thinking only of the
music. These songs won insistent re-
calls and she repeated the exquisite
Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen."
Schubert's "Erlkoenig," which fol-
lowed, gave the artist an opportunity to
reveal her dramatic power. 1t was
number that frankly challenged COM
parison with other interpretations and
in this she scored a triumph The
first part of the program closed with
the Brahms "Meine Liebe list gruen."
Since her last appearance in Los An
geles Madame Gadski has grown in
artistic achievement. Her voice of
great range and beautiful quality has
lost nothing in freshness and sweet
ness. 1t is a voice always surprising in
it's volume and flexibility-a voice
managed with an art that leaves moth
ing to be desired.
The second part of the program was
made up of arias and songs of mod
ern times. This gave Madame Gadski
an opportunity to show her marvellous
versatility for, beginning with Saint |
Saens Samson and Delilah," it in
cluded "Verborgenheit," by Hugo Wolf
and "Cecilie," by Richard Strauss. |
Remembrance" from the Shake |
speare Cycle" the new composition
much written about in New York, was
of special interest inasmuch as it is
by a Chicago woman, Mrs. Grace Was
sails, the daughter of Mrs. Crosby. who
visited Los Angeles and Pasadena last
season.
The third part OF the program was
given to Wagner. II. Selmar Meyrow-
itz played the Tristan and Isolde" pre-
lude and Madame Gadski sang Wag-
ner's "Traume" and "Schlummerlied,"
closing the concert with the aria,
'Dich, theure Halle" from Tannhauser
Again and again the artist was recalled
and when, held by the magic Of her
voice, men and women fingered in their
