0BERSTETTER PLEASEs.
German Singers Appearance a Treat
for Music Lovers.

The appearance OF Herr Edgardo Ober-
stetter. of Munich. at the Washington
Club before the members and guests Of
the Friday Morning Music Club proved
TO be one of the unexpected and note
worthy events Of the musical season.
That an artist Of Herr Oberstetter's high
standing and exceptional genius has been
resident in Washington for several
weeks without creating a musical seusa-
ton is due 20 the fact that the djstin-
guished foreigner has chosen to live
quietly and I'm pursuance OF his English
studies during his brief American visit
His recital Friday before "a large and dis
tinguished audience was most enthusias-
tically approved His first three num-
bers, sung TO Mr. Hughes accompani-
ment. were Waguer's LIED an dem
Abendstern." Mozart's On diesen Neili-
gen Hailer," and Schumanns Die beiden
Grenadiere." They were splendidly rem
dered and ELECTED much applause. bat it
was when Herr Oherstetter. to his own
accompaniment. rendered WOtan's "Ab-
schied. playing for himself the entire
difficult score Of the fire music from Die
Walkure, that the audience broke the
conservative moderation rule and paid
tribute to an exceptional musical feat.
Herr Oberstetter's marvellous barytone
voice Is rich and resonant in tone, of
wide range, and most sympathetic quail
ity. He is one Of the foremost Wagne-
rian exponents of Germany, having ap-
peared at Beyreuth. Berlin. the Covent
Garden Opera House in London, at Wies-
baden before the German Emperor, and
throughout Europe in all leading Wag-
merriam operas with such artists as Burg
staller Ternina, Gadskl. Fremstadt, Won
RuOy, Reiss, and Burrian. Enjoying the
friendship of Frau COsima Wagner, Herr
Oberstetter pursued his earlier vocal
studies under her personal direction, and
though he is not yet forty years Of age.
he has retired from the operatic stage TO
devote himself to composition Herr
Oberstetter is of magnificent physique,
and, like PlancOn. has attained to great
est prominence in the role of Mephisto.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
Blind, She Falls Across Stove
Fighting Flames.
Mrs. Harriet Bailey, Aged 75, the
Victim, Lived with
Her son.

While warming herself by a small stove
yesterday morning, Mrs. Harriet Bailey,
seventy-fve. living with her son. William
J. Bailey. an upholsterer. at . Fifth
street northeast, set fire 10 her clothing
and was burned to death.
About s O'Clock Mr.. Bailey went to his
mothers room and lighted a fire ia the
stove. He had been gone bat few mo-
ments when his wife, hearing cries for
help from her mother-in-laW. rushed 10
the upper floor 20 find the woman's cloth
ing "a mass of flames The woman was
IN a heap on the Hoor and is thought 10
have been dead when the younger Mrs.
Bailey arrived in the room
Mr. Bailey was sent for and an alarm
was sent in from a nearby ere box. but
by the time the engines arrived the fire
mad been extinguished. An inquiry was
made by the superintendent before re-
moving the body 20 the morgue. where it
was afterward viewed by the coroner. A
certificate of accidental death wns issued.
From the position in which the woman's
body was found il is thought she had
seated herself with her back TO the stove.
Being almost totally blind Mrs Bailey
must have moved too close and was afire
before she realized her danger in her at
tempts TO extinguish the flames she fell
forward. striking her head on the corner
of the stove.
The deceased formerly lived with her
son, J. +, Bailey, as Landover. Nd, and
later stayed with her daughter at ~

TAMS BTXBY IS EXONERATRD
With Douglas Ross and F. c. Horn
Gets a Clean Bill.
Secretary of Interior Declares
sf0ner without Foundation.

Two cases involving charges Of alleged
graft against Tams Bixby. commissioner
Of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Indian
Territory, and Douglas W. Ross, super
vising engineer in the Reclamatio Serv-
ice. were yesterday disposed Of by the
Secretary OF the Interior.
Both officers were eXOnerated and given
a clean bill Of health. Bixby was charged
with irregularities in connection with the
sale Of town lots in the Territory. Ross
integrity was attacked, it being slleged
that he profited in connection with con-
tracts made for the erection of irrigation
works in Montana, Mr. Bixby has been
Im the Indian Territory as the representa-
tive Of the Interior Department since 1897.
He has been under fire for years, his
administration there having been sub
jeeted 10 investigation after investiga-
tion. AT the instance of the President
William Dudley Foulke, special admin
/ istration investigator. looked into the
more recent charges. His report reflected
on Mr.. Bixby. After careful considera-
ton Of all the papers in the case, the
Secretary announced that there was moth
ing in the charges against Bixby that
warranted action of any kind against
him.
In a statement issued concerning the
charges made against Mr. Ross, the Sec
retary said: The charges against his
personal integrity were shown 20 be ahsO-
/ lutely without foundation. The charges
against his official conduct We're submitted
20 a board of engineers, which found she
charges TO be entirely unwarranted' -
+. c. Horn, consulting engineer, who
was working on the same project, was in
a measure referred to in the charges, but
the evidence clearly shows there has
been no improper action on his part.
Both Mr.. Horn and Mr.. Ross are pro-
NOTED. the former getting a $500 and the
latter a 500 Increase in salary.

]. W. YERKES QUITS POST.
Revenue Commissioner 10 Take Up
Practice. of Law.

o. o. Stealey, Washington correspond
ent for the louisville CouHer-Journal. yes
terday sent the following dispatch TO his
paper:
The resignation to-day of John ".
Yerkes, of Kentucky, from the office of
Commissioner Of Revenues was sur
prise. 1t is not believed here among his
friends in social and political life that
there is any political significance what
ever, so far as Kentucky politics is con-
cerned, in his resignation. He has fire.
quently told the Courier-Journal corre-
spondent that he had no aspirations. and
no intention TO run for governor of Ken
lucky. no doubt realizing the fUtility of
such a candidacy.
"That the position vacated by Mr..
Yerkes has not been congenial to zone Of
his ability and disposition there is not a
doubt. When he reluctantly accepted it
he had good reasons to believe that it was
a stepping stone 10 something far better
in distinction and commensuration. Time
has proved that those hopes have not ma
teriaIized-
1T is absurd to suppose that a man of
the ability and standing Of Mr.. Yerkes
and slave himself as the duties of the
office required year in aR1 out for the
salary paid, when his Expenses doubled
his pay
Outside Of all this, there are other ex-
cellent reasons Wy Mr.. Yerkes should
resign. The principal one is that his
health of late ears has not been of the
best; that is - say, that his ailment has
been of a nttuTe that Office confinement
was not gG3d for him
THE bulletin announcing the resgna-
ton Of Mr. Yerkes says that he viii re-
main I'm Washington and practice law
There is q good field here for men Of his
kind bur II is to a large extent outside Of
practice upon which the government is
ds$ectly concerned. There is a code of
ethics observed here that a year or so
should elapse before "a retiring official
from an important government position
shah take up a case against the govern
ment"

American War Ship at Disposal of
Two Countries for Conclusion Of
Treaty-centraI American DipIo-

ing Conference to CoRcIude Peace.

The war in Central America has come
to a close. and President Roosevelt and
President Diaz, Of Mexico, have tele-
graphed to President Zelaya, of Nieara-
qua, and President Figuera. Of Salvador.
their congratulations on the termination
Of the conflict.
In addition, the United States has placed
a war ship at the disposal Of the Presi-
dents Of Salvador and Nicaragua at
Amalpa for the completion Of their peace
pact
The Overtures for peace came from the
victorious zelaya to Salvador, the ally Of
Honduras, and We're made through the
good offices Of the United States and
Mexico.
BOniIIa Goes Into Exile.
One Of the conditions demanded by
President zelaya. and which has been
acceded to, was that ex-President Bonilla
should leave Central America perma-
nently. The Nicaraguan President would
not consent even that he should remain
In Salvador. fearing that he would con-
tinue to be a disturbing element to per-
manent peace, and that he might succeed
in raising an army and seek to over
throw the constitutional government
which he promises shall be set up in
Honduras
1t was with fun knowledge that he
would be required TO leave Central Amer
lea that BonIla surrendered, and was
guaranteed the protection Of an Ameri-
can war ship. To what country he viii
be deported is not known. but it is be-
lieved that he will so 70 some OF the
South American republics, or to France.
The armies of Nicaragua and Salvador
are to be Withdrawn at once to their own
territory, and as soon as IL can be ar
ranged an election will be held TO select
officers in place Of those now conducting
the provisional government the recognI-
tiOn of which Salvador has agreed to
make as one of the terms Of the agree
ment for peace.
Talk of Central American Pact.
A national election TO select a new Pres
ident for Honduras viii take place within
sixty days.
Central American diplomats in Wash
ington have been recently discussing
with the State Department the advisable
ity Of holding a general peace conference
of all the Central American republics for
the purpose Of negotiating a treaty which
VIII secure a permanent peace and the
integrity of each of the five republics
The plan is said to meet with the general
approval of the State Department While
nothing definite has been decided upon
in the matter, il is not improbable that
such an agreement may be reached.
Ii has been suggested that such a con-
ference be held either in Washington
or the City of Mexico
