 A BRILLIANT SUCCESS

 All Seats Occupied.

The entertainment by Mary Angell pianist, and Mrs. Carrie Jacobs-Bond, elocutionist and singer, at the Cable hall last night attracted an unusually large audience. Not only was every seat oc- cupied but quite number of men stood up throughout the concert.

Major Inn prmoptu, a Mazouka and two etudes, Opus 25 No. 9 Butterfly and Opus 25 No. 15-all by Chopin; Liszts 'Hark. the Lark" and, as the concluding num- Der, the Schubert-Tausig march.
 The pianist is a young performer of fine talent, grace of style and brilliant technique. She was received last night with genuine enthusiasm Indeed few virtuosos who have appeared here have met with more flattering receptions.
 Mrs. Jacob-Bond the vocalist, recites in speech as well as music. She writes and delivers homely stories in verse, which present every day phases of life common sense philosophy. humor and pathos Her work is both original and good and in singing plays her own ac- compartments with musical skill and taste She proved herself to be indeed an excellent pianist. She made a great hit.
 The audience, judging from the ap- plause, would have been even more pleas ed than it was had the programme been longer. The entertainment was of the usual recital length--an hour and a half.

FAVORS AN ENTIRELY
 NEW EXCLUSION LAW
Denby Says There Is No Trouble In Distinguishing cooIies From Stu
 dents of the Better Glass.

Washington. February 15.-Charles Den by chief clerk of the state department appeared today before the subcommittee of the House committee on foreign af- fairs. which is considering the Foster Dill to modify the provisions of the Chinese exclusion act by making it easier Tor Chinese students merchants and tourists to enter this country
 Mr. Denby, in response to questions py members of the subcommittee, said ne thought it would be better to have a new law regulating the provisions of the eX- clusion act. rather than to further modify the department of commerce and labor rules relating to the enforcement of the exclusion act. He said that he believes a modification of the exclusion act Will result in a betterment of the present un- satisfactory trade conditions in China. In the opinion of MT. Denby many Chinese students will come to the United States under laws making their admission here less distasteful.
 Mr. Denby insisted that there is no difficulty in identifying Chinese of the laboring class from the higher class Chi nese who desire to come here as students and travellers. In the opinion of MT. Denby the present hostility in China against the United States is a trade hos tility and not of personal nature.

MORE COURT ROOM IS BADLY NEEDED Board of Revenue Again to be
 Approached JUDGE GREENE GETS DATA Court House Is consested and Quar- ters Must Be Furnished for the
 Inferior Court In the
 Near Future.
JUDGE GREENE GETS DATA

The Jefferson County Board of Revenue will meet Monday and plans are already under way to bring about renewed action relative to the building of an addition to the court house.
 The matter has already been before the public several times, but nothing deti- mite has been done except to hold an election at which it was decided to issue bonds to the amount for the additions, changes and improvements necessary.
 Agitation Was Dropped.
 A number of times, it is stated, the Board of Revenue has been asked to take action on the question. There was gen. eral belief at the time the inferior court bill and the consolidated courts bill were passed by the legislature that additions to the court house would be erected, be- cause these new courts would make ad- ditonal room even more necessary. The action of the courts in declaring those measures unconstitutional, however, caus- ed the agitation to be dropped, and noth- ing has been heard of it since
 It was stated last night that the quar- ters formerly used by the inferior court and which will be used when the court resumes service, are not suited to the requirements.
 It was learned later that Judge D. A. Greene of the criminal court, had just taken action under consideration some days ago, and had instructed the clerks of the criminal court to gather certain data for him, which he intends to use in an open letter to the Board of Revenue.
 congested Condition.
 It is the intention of Judge Greene to point out clearly and conclusively the oongested condition of the court house and thus show the great need of this addition.
 Judge Greene admitted last night that he was working along the lines indicated, and stated further that he had given no attention to the several plans proposed for the annex.
 We need additional room at the court house." he said "and that is what l am going to try to get The manner in which it is obtained and the character ot the architectural plans for the annex are of secondary importance"
