CAPITAL WELCOMES
BISPHAN'S RETURN
Washington Favorite Scores
in Beethoven Recital as
Actor and Singer.

An audience Of substantial proportions

an able company Al the National Thea
ter yesterday afternoon
While Bispham's portrayal of Beet
hoven in Adelaide" was distinct
achievement his brief song recital met
with an even heaTtieJ- reception
His program was made up Of Faith
fu' Johnnie" which he sang with great
feeling: two gems that met with pro-
Ionged applause, An die Gehe1te" and
Der Kuss,'' and the magnificent "Crea-
tion's Hymn" which he was obliged 10
repeat despite his evident intention to
foreEo any encores.
The interest centeIed around "Ade-
laide" proved TO be fully justified lot
the play helps much toward clearer
conception Of the great composer whose
last DAYS nave been ShrOuded IN mys-
tery for which he himself is responsible
The strange irony which deprived the
aged composer the enjoyment o. MS
own works is the theme of the play
and the double pathOs Of his deafness
and the memory of his lost love are
pictured with a sympathy and apprecia-
lion that stamp Mr.. Bispham q IN ACT
on of power A feature Of the playlel
is the Interpolation of the famous song
Adelaide" which was sung by IhOmas
Evans Greene.

daughter and his querelOus laundress
were taken in the order named by Mrs
J. N. Carr, Miss Grace HOTnby, and
Mrs. r. c Goddard. Miss MaT6' ret

Teachers AgencyAtte Fraud

The teachers agencies have again shown a disposition to farm
out the Nevada schools to the highest bidders for positions as
teachers, but it seems that their pathway to profit is not as easy
this time as it has been in former years.
Some time ago the Cooperative Teachers Association OF San
Francisco sent out a large number of applications under the name
of Sadie M. Mills. 1t now turns out that Miss Mills is a teacher at
Posts. Monterey County, California She is a graduate from the
Los Angeles State Normal College and from Stanford University,
and has excellent personal references, all of which information is In
the hands of the Cooperative Teachers Association. But, Miss
Mills insists that she did not make application for Nevada schools,
and that they we're made without her knowledge or consent
Now, it being very close to the time when schools should COM
mence, and teachers being scarce at this time of the year, the Co.
Association expects to send ON any one who is willing to
nav the agency fee OF from $50 to $40 to take the place of Sadie
NJ. Mills" as a substitute. All of the correspondence is being
carried on in the name of Sadie NJ. Mills, signed in ink in the usual
form. just how far short Of actual fraud these methods may fall
to be an open question at present.
Deputy Superintendent A. b Lightfoot informs the SENTINEL
that five districts under bis supervision have contracted with Sadie
M. Mills to teach the schools this year, but as no certificates are
granted except upon the recommendation of the Deputy Superin-
tendent under whose supervision the applicant has taught or expects
TO teach. none of the substitutes for Miss Mills will be recognized
for these positions. The same plan was pursued last year by the
Association under the name of Anna b. Kennedy, and
In fiji the positions the Association advertised in the San Francisco
papers for so teachers for Nevada, stating in the advertisement that
no certificates were required.
Mr.. Iightfoot has asked the postal authorities to make an
of the matter on the ground of using the United States
mails with intent to defraud, and has also asked the assistance of
the State Department of Public Instruction of California to lend its
assistance in bringing the Cooperative Association to justice.
