------------------------ -----------~-------- WEATHER MAN INNOCENT.
Says He is Not to Blame for Warm
 Weather.

Says He is Not to Blame for Warm
 Weather.
 The weather man couldn't explain it last night-why the cold wave didn't come. Surely every one knows that it didn't come. The weather man just smiled, and said it wasn't his fault and he knew nothing about 1t.
 The weather man flung 6 cold wave flag to the breeze. and had posted cold wave warnings in all the big buildings, and had published terrifying predictions in the news papers. He had, in brief, done all he could to make the prophecy of the big weather man in Washington come true. And so. as he said last night, it was not his fault
 The perpetual candidate who lost in the last campaign with the consistency that had marked his entire political career, said that 1t was the ti-Sunday-Freight-Tra Bill that frightened it off, but cold waves are rush goods they don't travel on freight trains, and the theory was exploded
 No news of the cold wave was received by the local weather bureau yesterday Nobody is dissatisfied about the way things turned out. The weather was balmy and spring like, and except for the inconvenience few persons suffered from having to wear over coats upon one arm instead of upon the en- tire body. there would not have heen even the slightest complaint.

 This is the truth as far as we know, is the truth as far as the shoe manufacturing world knows, is the truth as far as shoe dealers know.

The arrival in this city yesterday OF
Charles Henry Weltzer, representing the
management of the Metropolitan Opera Co.,
recalled the great stars who will be heard
on Monday next at the Auditorium in
"Pagliaccl," Haensel and Gretel" and La

he. Altogether, in the three past weeks,
the company has drawn over 100000 The
season in New York and Philadelphia had
already brought over a million dollars into
the Metropolitan treasury.
1.-THE cities of the east and Chicago have
been opera mad of late. And as usual
the excitement has been caused by the
great singers quite as much as by the
masterpieces which they have Interpreted
NJ. Caruso has been made the object of a
whole series of ovations on the tour.

and very attractive Mimi In the person of
Nine. Claparelli who sang the part with
much success last week in Chicago.
But of the strangers, probably Miss
Geraldine Farrar will arouse most pas
sionate interest here. She had made a SEN

her engagement by Mr. Conried. Her

FOURTH RECITAL BY KELLYS
Popular Singers Enthusiastically APP
pIauded for Their Excellent
Achievements. o.

Last night at the St. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly
gave their fourth annual recital before .
large and enthusiastic audience. The pro-
grams have come to mean much, to music
lovers This latest one had its full share
Of beauty and originality.
Mr. Kelly began his first group of songs
with Clarence Lucas when Stars Are in
the Quiet Skies" 8 dreamy sustained 1T
tie song, which showed the singers mas
terry OF legato work. Then came three
songs by Robert Franz, difhcult and calling
for good tone productions, tremendous
breath control and wide temperamental
gifts To say that Mr.. Kelly sang Aus
Melnen Grosseu Schmerzen," We'll auf mir
du Dunkles Auge' and 20 dauke NIGHT
fur desc Lieder' with exceptional intel
l.gence and grace is to put his attachments
upon a very high plane. The Franz songs
as every singer knows, take long and
faithful study. The groups OF Chan
sons Crises paul Verlaine), set to music
by Reynaldo Hahn, were also sung with
minute attention to details, "L'heure Ex-
quise" being particularly beautiful.
OF Mr. Kelly's dramatic songs. special
mention should be made Of Mother O.
Mine" by Sidney Homer and Cavaliers
and Roundheads." by Gerard Cobb. Tones
were worked up in characteristic style.
A song which is haunting in Its repetltions
is Sidney Holmes setting of Robert Louis
Stevenson's ''Requiene." Mr.. Kelly gave It
tender, dignihed Interpretation. Lady
Moore" (Bruhns) is a delicate, fantastic,
almost catchy composition; to II Mr..
Kelly did some fine work in pianissimo
head tones that quite caught his audience,
Mrs Kelly was overcome with an at
tack Of faintness after her second song.
but came through with flying colors upon
her re-appearance, singing the Strauss

lifes) with splendid dramatic effect-the
very best work she has done In public up
to this time. OF her last group OF songs
she did the most finished work in They
Say" by Randegger, and the cunning little
child's song, MY Shadow" Mrs. Kelly's
singing with the choir Is always delightful
her voice stands out and rings clear and
true. The chorus, "The Legend of the
Chimes" was given with very good effect.
who is Sylvia" (schubert) and ar
ranged by Mr. Kelly, and THE Water
Lily by Neils w. GUIDE, sung by the
choir, we're both attractive numbers, sung
with finish and good style "Bendemeers
Stream" and annie Laurie" were hardly
dignihed and heavy enough for a choir
capable of so much inner things.
Miss Hancock did her usual artistic ac-
cOmpanying. She bore a very strenuous
part in the program and acquitted herself
with credit.
Many friends and admirers showed their
affection for Mr. and Mrs Kelly by send
ing flowers Before the end Of the evening
they we're bountfully surrounded with
roses. MARY LEARNED.

Testimony for Defense.
The jury was then recalled and the taking
Of testimony for the defense was begun.
The first witness was x-Representative
Frank Currie Of Gordon. His testimony
was brief and related wholly to his kuowl-
edge OF the Sand Hill country and the ex-
istence yof duplicate windmills throughout
that country as used by all stockmen.
''The existence Of twin or double wind
mills is very common in the cattle coun-
try" said the witness. "They are scattered
throughout the cattle ranges, are located
about ten and twelve miles apart and are
liable to be found almost anywhere in the
cattle country"
w. V. Mcqueen, a banker of Hay Springs,
testified that Irving d. Hun came to him
about the time Of the opening up of the
land fraud Investigations in 1906 and wanted
him to go on his bond.
II knew what the trouble was about, "
said the witness. 1T was because Hull
had been bringing out old soldiers and
widows to file on lands. He said that he
was bringing them out for Mcfarland,
Heitzel and Huntington. He further told
me he knew the old soldiers had to live on

and Hull were talking Mr.. Hull told me
at that time that the only time he had
made any arrangement with Mr.. Hunting
ton was during the conversation he had
with him at Norfolk. The matter OF the
time that the old soldiers was to put in
on the land in order to make final proof
was discussed at that time and IL was
generally known that they should put in at
least one year of actual, residence, though

OLD QUARTERS FOR PRESENT
Commercial Club Intends to Renew Lease
for Probably One Year.
STILL LOOKING Fer NEW LOCATION
Several Are Under Consideration,
but Not One of Those Yet Pro-
posed Exactly Fills
the Bill.

THE present plans are to lease our club
rooms for a short time, probably one year,
to await developments and expend several
hundred dollars in remodelng," said c. NJ.
Wilhelm, president of the Commercial club,
when asked as to the question Of securing
new quarters for the club. The lease on
the present club rooms in the Board of
Trade building expires May 81, and many
new locations for the club have been under
consideration.
The quarters in the Board of Trade build
ing are inadequate in many respects and
the officers executive committee and most
Of the individual members were anxious
to make a change.
The top floor OF the old Brandeis build
Ing, which is 1872 feet square and twenty
feet high, was offered to the club for IS, OOC
year. The rent of the present rooms is
only $500. The entire top floor of the new
Brandeis building was offered to the club
for $1,000 annually and 1t was given careful
inspection and consideration Monday by
President Wilhelm and other officers of the
club, in company with Arthur Brandeis
and Architect John Latenser. 1t has beer
practically decided, however, to reject the
proposition on the advice OF both Mr.
Brandeis and Architect Latenser on &C.
count Of the difficulties presented in the In
terror arrangement of the rooms.
Swanson Building Preferred.
Consideration also was given to securing
the two upper floors of the proposed Swan
son building, which was to have been built
at the southeast corner Of SixteeEth and
Harvey streets, but the erection OF the
building has been practically abandoned on
account Of financial difficulties. Assurances
had been given TO the promoters of the
building that the Commercial club would
take the two top floors. the top to be used
for a dining room apd restaurant, and
the fifth floor for offices, billiard and
lounging rooms.
II new quarters had been secured the
dues of the club would have been raised
from $50 to SOS a year. but this will not
be done under the decision reached to re-
tain the old quarters, for the present al
least. The club now has over 800 members
and an active campaign to increase the
membership will be entered upon as soor
as the improvements TO the present clul
quarters are completed.
