NoRD1cA AT MASONIC TEMPLE.
Singer Opens New Auditorium and
Washington Concert Season.

Washington Concert Season.
Nine. Nordica's dedication of the new
Masonic Temple Auditorium was a rare
event in the musical world and served
auspiciously to open the musical season
of the year.
Aside from the interest in the famous
singer and her splendid program. it also
served to demonstrate the complete fit
ness of the new concert room for the
purposes to which Mme.. Nordica last
night dedicated 1t. and for which it was
designed.
No description of it seems necessary
after the recent houSeWarming. But its
acoustic properties for finer concert pur-
poses; its compact arrangement meeting
demands of the singer and satisfying in
every way the audience. and, withal. its
chaste beauty, served to make the occa-
sion of it's dedication additionally en-
joyable. -
And Nine. Nordica-what shall be said
of her whose wonderful voice and ex-
quisite technique have thrilled the world
in her time. saws that they are still with
her in all their beauty and power? Her
many admirers who filed the hall and its
spacious galleries felt it from the begin
ming and made it manifest in their gra-
cious reception of the prlma donna, which
seemed to end only with the close of the
program.
Her offering embraced Councils. LA
Refine de Saba" BiZet. Comes, Faure.

with voice of range and volume, was
especially effective in the pathetic re-

Later he sang Elger's Sword Song and

The concert was a marked success as
an entirety and proved brilliant opening
for the concert season of 1908.

Letter EXPLAINED BY LOEB
PRESIDENTS ENDORSEMENT OF
REPRESENTATIVE LILLEY.
Reference Was Made to Latter's
Work in Congress, Not His Cam
paign for Governor.

What appears to be an Intentional re-
pudiation of the republican nominee for
Governor of Connecticut by the White
House is found in the making public of
a letter written by Secretary Loeb, at
the direction of President Roosevelt, in
forming New Haven citizen just what
the President did write to Representative
Lilley. the head of his party in that state.
Mr.. Lilley, as announced in The Star yes
terday. published part of letter he had
received from the President, the portion
being of such a nature as apparently to
indorse the methods and purposes Of Mr..
LiIley, as well as to wish him we'll in his
fight for governor. The garbled letter of
the President created a sensation in the
state, and threatened to do Taft much
harm. The President was accused Of in
terfering in the local affairs of the state
and there were dire threats from republi-
cans who are opposing Lilley: It has long
been the custom of the White House.
under circumstances of that kind. to
make no explanation because of the harm
it might do the candidate, especially in
the case of man leading his party as
candidate for governor. After explana-
tons had been made that Mr.. Lilley had
failed to make all of the letter public. and
that it really referred to some work of
Mr. Lilley in the last Congress. and not
to his race for the governorship. the fol-
lowing letter to N. A. Tanner. citizen
of New Haven, was made public:
THE WHITE HOUSE.
washington. D. c., october IA, 1908.
MY Dear Sir: The President has re-
ceived your letter Of the 18th instant, and
in reply directs me to state that you are
in error in assuming that the President
has publicly expressed himself concerning
the governOrship in Connecticut or In any
other state While. continually being ap-
pealed to do SO, he has steadily refused
to interfere in any state election. Mr..
Lilley wrote to the President asking him
to confirm a conversation he had with NJ.
Lilley last winter. as follows:
Mr.. Lilley, l have read and heartily
approve of your speech. You have told
a number of needed truths. and I thank
you for telling them. wish you sue
cess in your career. sir.
firmed in a letter to Mr.. Lilley under date
of the 10th instant Yours very truly,
civilian LOEB. JR..
Secretary to the President.
Mr.. \. A. Tanner, 100 Grand Avenue,
New Haven. Conn.,
The foregoing action of the White
House is unprecedented in the political
world. 1t is true that the President Is
Int interfering in gubernatorial fights. but
ii has been his policy for years. where he
could help a republican nominee for Con-
be used in the nature of assistance. He
does not do this often. but in the case OF
men who have stood by him in Congress
and elsewhere he has nearly always Of
fered a helping hand In the shape of a
letter In no instance heretofore has the
White House found it wise to explain It's
attitude or position.

the conservation here and at this time. it
is understood that it has to do somewhat
with the relations between this country
and Mexico and vitality with the develop
ment of English teaching In the more ad
vanced church colleges of Mexico.
To Select English-Speaking Teachers
Bishop Veres will devote a part of his
time before returning to Mexico to the
selection of certain English-speaking in
structors for some of the Mexican col
leges. and other steps will be taken to
bring up the teaching Of the Catholic in
situations in Mexico more to the level of
the Catholic University of America, which
Is to be the mother institution of learning
for the Catholic Church on this continent
Georgetown University and the Catholic
University of America already draw a
large number of students from the Latin
American countries and the latest step
is said to be only another in the direction
OF drawing closer the educational bonds.

TELLS OF NEAR
PISTOL TRAGEDY
Joseph Kelley Presses Revolver
Against Former BOarder's Body,
but Trigger Wouldn't Work.

AFTER I had held my gun to Temple
TONS stomach and pulled the trigger
five times he confessed to everything 1
accused him Of" declared Joseph Kelley
today. Harry Templeton used to be
a friend of mine, too, before 1 brought
this charge against him for attempting
to break up my home"
Templeton will be given a hearing on
the charge July 20. 1t Is alleged by
Kelley, who is a contractor>at 154 South
Twelfth street, that Templeton, who
lives at 500 Twelfth avenue, became
more attentive to Mrs. Kelley than the
husband desired. In the Fourth Pre-
cinct Police Court Kelley testified that
he had obtained the alleged confession
at the point of the pistol in Rockaway,
where Mrs. Kelley was spending the
summer.
I thought much about the mat
ter until my wife began to come to me
to tell me stories of my alleged in
fidelity. When I wanted to know who
told her about these mythical events
she said Templeton had.
When I wen to him he started in
to tell me about my wife's actions. and
then got hot. So I sent my wife to
Rockaway for the summer, where
neither Of us would be disturbed by
Templeton, and when 1 went out to see
her | met her telling him good-by at the
station.
Then we went out to a nice, quiet
spot, Templeton n 1, at my request.
when I put the pistol to his stom-
ach he confessed. The cartridges failed
to explode as they were rim-fre and
my pistol was built for centre-fre
Shells"
Templeton denied Kelley's stories and
declared That he used to take money
from the contractor to his wife during
the summer.
