COLLUSIVE ATTEMPT AT
DIVORCE is BALKED

A collusive attempt to get a divorce
was baked by Judge Graham yester-
day. The suit was that OF Mae R.
Fiuren against John II. Fiuren, a metal
roofer, on the ground of cruelty. Be
fore going on the bench the Judge had
received a letter from a man signing
himself John Williams" stating that
the case had been framed up" that
Fiuren loved his wife, and that the
woman had agreed to remarry him in
five or six months.
Questioned by the Judge, Mrs. Fiuren
at first denied that there was any ar
rangement with her husband, but In
the end admitted that she had had an
interview with Fiuren in the Office of
her attorney at which it ives agreed
she should get divorce.
This is collusion, and your petition
for divorce will be denied. said the
Judge.
Charles r. .O'Callaghan. attorney for
Mrs. Fiuren. seemed very much taken
aback at the turn of events. He in
formed the Judge that he had not seen

under control many of the old fash

charred and the names on them oblit-
Grated.
Boys are supposed to have started
the fire. A small blaze in one corner
OF the old graveyard spread through
the dried, uncut grass with such rapid
ity and fierceness that it was feared
nearby houses in Broderick street
would be endangered. Many of the
graves hold remains of persons who
were once famous in California pioneer
history, but the names OF most OF them
have now been forgotten. To prevent
further desecration. however, Chief OF
Police Biggy last night detailed a spe-

PIANISTE HAS
MUCH INDIVIDUALITY
Cecil Cowies Plays Difficult
Program With Great Self
Reliance
By Walter Anthony

What arrests the attention in Cecil
Cowles' piano playing is its freedom
from restraint and its self reliant in
oivfduality. Last night she played at
Lyric hall before a room full OF listen
ers. after an absence from the concert
stage of over q year. She is now g
young woman. long frock and rufies
end all, but abe has the engaging airs
Of a child, though she does not play
like one You expect her TO turn and
address you from the piano stool, so
Intimately friendly and childishly
serene Sc she. Like De Pachman, the
Chopin revealer. Miss Cowies seems TO
want to tell you about Il, for fear a
slower talent might lag and miss the
beauties under her fingers.
II is probable that such genius as
Miss Cowles assuredly owns requires
but little drill She seems TO come
naturally by q technic which is linn
tied only by q physical smallness Of
hand Whether IL was in Rachman- :
mons 'Barcaroile" in G minor. with a
left hand melody as swaying as g
impossible ~Pspillons." which is q
swarm OF nuttering butterflies, there
was the same infallibility- of technic
which found the right notes, as the
reed its haven or the butterflies their
flowers
OHCPlne concerto IN T. minor was
Gtven an authoritative reading by the
Young pianiste. while Warren D. Allen,
et a second plano. played the tran
Ncribed orchestral score with nice dis
elimination and ready sympathy.
Another number OF interest was Father
Doninios sex Abundsntfa Cords" g
Nirge In remembrance OF Liszt and ded-
tcated to Miss Cowlss. There is not so
much OF dirge as suave melody in the
piece It Is more roTAantic than
funereal or solemn. While Miss Cowles
gave Moszkowskys 'valse de Concert
IN E major q beautiful reading, it was
not q waltz for a concert so much as il
was q waits for two. Its measures sug-
Eested the touch and the swing of the
dance There was fire and passion in
the playing, and the Interpretation was
Mics Cowles' own. Evidently her
teacher has been content TO free her
genius rather than laboriousiy lead IL.
At the conclusion of a taxing pro-
gram. which contained. among other
things, Beethovens sonata, "Appas-
sienata"; much Chopin. List
Rhapsody" and a dainty but unre-
markable composition from the play
ers own pen, Miss Cowles was given an
enthusiastic reception by the large au-
oIence. and the flowers that were sent
10 her nearly filled an express wagon.
