ADELA VERNE HAS
LOST NONE OF ART
Girl Pianist Who Captured San
Francisco Returns as Great
as Before
By Walter Anthony

It seems to me that Adela Verne has
turned tigerish since she crept quietly
to our shores a year ago and then
pounced VIGOROUSLY on the east She
crouches over her grand piano and
dashes furiously at fortes; she purrs
over her pianissimos; her fingers be-
come velvety and soft, hiding claws Of
steel to rip. when she wills it, the
heart of music bare.
do not think she is a bigger mu-
sician than she was when she played
for us last season at Century hall and
surprised San Francisco with her skill
and emotional depth. Indeed, it seemed
at times that she has reached the self
conscious period wherein. after sur
prising others with her messages, she
begins to surprise herself. But she
surely held her audience yesterday at
Christian Science hall in the grip Of
her powerful spell. and she played a
program that for variety OF expression
and beauty could scarcely be eXcelled.
Her first number was Beethoven's
variations, 30 in number. They are
not variations at all. but thematic de-
velopment of a musical thought-pro-
jections of a simple melody through the
range and possibilities of modern
grand piano. InlS WOIk dtOic SldlLPS
Miss Verne as a great interpreter of
the classics. Following was the Men
delssohn scherzo, with it's elfin trumpet
motif. deliciously played by the ar
tiste, who had to repeat the piece. An
old fashioned Gluck melodie led ab-
ruptly into Brahms rhapsodie, op. 10,
No. 2 which was not written for dainty
hands or fragile souls, butts big and
broad, disturbing and. somber, like
murky clouds against midwinter
moon. I liked Miss Verne best in this
number and in the Hunting Song
from the Schumann forest scenes.
Miss Verne presents the anomoy
which. perhaps, only a woman can do.
She plays the big things. the mascu-
line compositions. with'so much weight
and force that you are amazed when
she attempts with equal success the
ripping music of Scarlatti or the fiut-
tering and tonally elusive 'Vogel ais
Prophet" by Schumann.
A caution would not be amiss to
avoid such Battle of Waterloo music
as she gave to great applause
after the Schumann numbers. ] be-
lieve IL was an imitation of the wind,
but I've forgotten the composers name
and will not disturb myself about
learning It. The selection sounds like
a minor version of Nearer Ny God to
Thee" being "whistled down the wind. :"
and is arrant imitation music. Her
Handel minuet, played as another en-
core. was splendidly done, and her last
number. ''Polonaise," in + major. by
Idszt, drew another enthusiastic recall,
which the player graciously responded
to.
There were many floral offerings to
Miss Verne and an impromptu recep-
ton after the program was over.

Release Caleb Powers.

1t is TO be hoped that the new Re-
publican Governor of Kentucky-not
because he is a Republican, but as an
advocate of fair play-will put an end
to the Caleb Powers, farce by grant
ing that much-abuscd man a pardon.
Powers has already passed eight years
in jail; has four times been tried
for murder; has been twice sentenced
10 life Imprisonment and once senten-
ced to be hanged, and has now been
sent back to Jail without bail to
await fifth trial. This is one Of the
great historic cases. His conduct
throughout has been that of man
who would not compromise 10 escape
the extreme penalty which has long
been held out to him as his probable
fate. His repeated appeals, his testi-
mony, his speech to the jury, satisfy
most impartial observers that he is
innocent. This has been the conclu-
sion of practically all the outsiders
WHO nave gone lHlO heutuChy W
make a study of the case.
But aside from that, the attitude
of the prosecution has from the start
been that of men who did not dare TO
reply on the justice of their cause.
They secured heavy appropriations, re-
sorted 10 partisan and prejudiced jul
ries, and repeatedly shifted the theory
of their case, discrediting in one Trial
the witnesses on whom they relied
in the other and all at times when
they were in the enjoyment of an al
most absolute arbitrary power. These
circumstances suggest that the pro-
secution was moved by partisan vim
dictiveness. It's proceedings have lack
ed dignity and decency and in many
details lave borne the mark of vul-
gar and brutal oppression. But for
the attitude of the Court of Appeals,
the stain upon Kentucky's name would
be without relief. That court alone
stands out as having maintained its
judicial independence.

sists merely of drop of mercury in
side the bulb where the carbon fill
an1ent is
When the light is, turned on the
carbon filament brightens up as usual,
but the heat changes the mercury
into vapor, which becomes incandes-
cent, and the result is a bulb glow
ing while.
Unlike the mercury vapor," electric
light which has recently come into
considerable use, and which is re-
cognized by its peculiar greenish color
the new lamp gives a clear white
light.
But the best of the invention is it's
vas cheapening of electric light bill
The ordinary commercial electric light
is a sixteen-candlepower affair. Ii re-
quires three and tenth watts to
run each candlepower. That is the
minimum. Often much more is used
The new light is just a little four
candlepower incandescent bulb, in the
beginning. But the vaporized mercury,
when it becomes incandescent. gives
out nty-five-candlepower and it
has been found by measurment that
only two and a half watts are requir-
ed per candlepOwer. This in itself
would reduce the electric light bill by
almost one-third, without mentioning
the vastly better light produced.
The name Of the patentoe is sup
pressed for the preesnt, as the patent
has not yet been formally granted.

the keen acidity that bites and rankles

Fancy portraits of Walton picture

.BECKHAM and THE
COUNTY unit BILL.
Local Option Measure Sidetrack
ed by Man Put in Chair BY
Former Governor.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 14.-Unwilling
to give UP the club which he fondly
believes may do him some good in his
race for the Senate, J. c. w. Beck
ham to-day had the House adjourned
20 as TO prevent the passage of The
county unit bill. The arbitrary action
of the Speaker in adjourning the
House when it seemed that a MAORI
tv of the members were against the
adjournment and without allowing a
demand for the eyes and noes has
started rumors to-day that the Beck
ham forces are trying to make a deal
with the whisky interests, which
would give Mr.. Beckham certain thing
which he very much desires.
1t looks like a dicker, with the coun-
ty unit bill is the object Of the
trade, and Mr.. Beckham seemed I'M
willing to have the county unit bill
pass the House because he would not
have the club which he now thinks he
has. If the county unit bill passes the
House it can no longer be used, as it
has been used by Mr.. Beckham for the
purpose of club but would leave Mr..
Beckham with his hands empty.
The county unit bill has been used
for all it was worth by the Beckham
forces, and they have been playing
with it and playing both sides against
the middle the one object in view be-
ing a seat in the United States Sem
ate. Now the Beckha m Speaker ad-
journs the House just at the time whe,
il seems that the bill would be re-
ported and probably passed, and This
has started talk Of deals with the
whisky people and of concessions which
have been made by Mr.. Beckham TO
OBTAIN certain advantages in his race.
The county unit bill is being used
for political purposes only, and the
action of the Speaker to-
day indicated that the Beckham for
ces did not want the bill passed, at
this lime anyhow.

may be the beneficent result of an I'M
usually good dinner. We sometimes
wonder If philosophers and reformers
lay sufficient stress upon the ethical
value of food. But an illustration is
furnished in the columns of a recent
issue OF his paper. Mr.. Walton forget

try to do their duty as becomes men
and patriots.
On behalf Of Acting Gov. Cox. and
the rest of the Republican office hold
ers, we make our prettiest bow to Mr..
Walton. We are pleased to be able 10
print this vindication of a good man

pected by many people. Our only re-
greet Is that his unfortunate political be-
liefs have warped his nature and done
