EFFORT TO SATISFY COMPLAINT

When the conferees on the tariff bill
reassembled late yesterday afternoon
they invited to the meeting the western
senator's who had complained of the al
legged boot and shoe Joker in the tariff
bill Senators Hepburn, Warren. Carter,
Brown, Borah, Sutherland and Bourne
came into the conference room and stat
ed their grievances.
An issue Of fact was Immediately
raised between them and Senator Aldrich
and Representative Payne Of the con-
ferees. the latter two claiming that there
was no joker in the language Of the pro-
vision and that it had the approval of
the President.
Western Senator's Contention.
The western senator's contended to the
contrary and Furthermore laid down the
fat proposition that their constituents
would agree with them and hold them re-
sponsible for sacrificing the duty on hides
without a corresponding reduction on
leather goods. In the circumstances.
they would not feel justified in voting for
the report.
President Taft had. in the meantime.
written letters to Senators Brown and
Borah. urging them to stand by the
conference report. and these letters were
read at the conference. Senator Browns
letter contained. in addition to a rather
sharp rebuke for the Joker, finders and
an admonition to senators to get action
on the bill.

ming tomorrow win be observed as
Lincoln memorial week, by proclama-
ton Of Mayor Busse. The formal OBJ
servance will begin Thursday with ex-
ercises in all of the schools OF the
city Friday, Lincoln's natal day, will
be marked by great public mass
meeting, at which the speakers will
include President Woodrow Wilson of
Princeton, President Edwin E. Sparks
of Pennsylvania State college, DR..
Emil Hirsch and John A. Macdonald,
editor of the Toronto Globe.
The Chicago Tribune, which was the
first great newspaper to boom Lincoln
for the presidency, will issue a Lin
coin centenary edition tomorrow.
During his early career, Lincoln was
almost constantly in counsel with the
editors of the Tribune, then known as
the Press and Tribune, and it was one
of the editors of this newspaper, while
in Washington in 1859, who first i'm
pressed upon the solons of the ma
tional capital the fact that Illinois
had man for the times.
The celebration of the centennial
at Springfield, the state capital, will
also be of an imposing nature, since
it was in that city that Lincoln was
best known. 1t is not thought that
the attempts Of prohibitionists to dis
credit the banquet, the feature of the
Springfield celebration, because of the
allegation that wine will be served,
will be of any effect.
At BeardStOWn a novel ceremony
will be held next Friday, Wnen a me-
mortal tablet will be unveiled in the

GIBRALTAR, Feb. 6.-With the
cannons of a dozen foreign warships
in the harbor booming farewell, the
American battleship fleet today sailed
on the last leg of it's journey around
the world. The ships weighed an
Choir at 9 o'clock and steamed from
the harbor in single formation.
When the straight of Gibraltar was
passed, the single column was broken
and ship ran for itself in a race for
the Atlantic shores to establish new
records. The engines have been thor
Oughly overhauled.
The fleet will rendezvous at Hamp-
ton Roads, where it will be reviewed
by Roosevelt who will crown his pres
idential service with a floating pa
geant. The vessels will then disperse
to the different navy yards.

; GOSSIP OF NEW YORK 4
} By Glenn Guernsey. 4


NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Mme Marcella
Sembrics, one of the sweetest song
birds Of the Metropolitan Opera
house, is going to take a steamboat
too. and sail awa-ay. she will
do her farewelling tonight when she
will appear in the roles she has made
famous during her frequent visits to
New York during the last quarter of
a century, and all of the music-loving
Gotham that can be packed into the
Metropolitan will be there to pay her
a final tribute of love and admiration.
A substantial fund has been raised for
the purchase of a valuable gift to be
presented to the famous singer to-
night and this tribute will be all the
more treasured by Nine. Sembrich be-
cause it represents the pennies of the
music loving east side as well as the
dollars of Fifth avenue
Admitting that Nine. Sembrich is
not the greatest singer that has ever
visited these shores, the fact remains
that there is no other so generally re-
spected and beloved. Her domestic
life is in strange contrast to that of
the majority of prima donnas and
stage folk. Married at the beginning
Of her career to her first tutor Will
liam Stengel, she has remained stead
fast to her first love through all the
years and no smut of scandal mas ever
sullied her name She has never had
to appeal to the threadbare excuse
of artistic temperament in palliatiOn
for violation of the moral code to
which common folk are forced to adj
here.
The spirit Of supreme selfshness
that is SO often exhibited by those af-.
flicted with the artistic temperament"
is never manifested by Nine. Sem
brich. Unstintedly she has given of
her time and money to aid struggling
young artists, and ever since she be-
gan her visits to this country she has
made it rule to sing at least once
each seaeson for charity
Tonight's farewell appearance of
twenty fifth anniversary of her first
Nine Sembrich will also mark the
appearance on the stage of the Metro
politan Opera house. This fact alone
is sufficient to indicate that the great
singer is no longer girl, but no mat
ter what her age, it is certain that
she doesn't look it, The contour Of
her face still retains. it's youthful
charm, and the old opera-goer who
saw the girl at her American debut
quarter century ago is likely to be
startled by the few changes the years
have made in passing.
The program Of the farewell per-
Torrance will include the first act of
Don Pasquale," in which Nine. Sem
brich will be supported by SignOr
Scott, and will be followed by the
second act from I'll Barbiere di Sivig-
lia," with Nine. Campanari, Bonei, Pa
terna and Didur and Nine. hatfield in
the cast with Nine. Sembrich.
In the lesson scene Nine. Sembrich
will appear with Signor Bonci in
duet from II Puritani." In the last
act of La Traviata," Miss Farrar will
sing the part of Flaro Debevoise, and
other prominent singers will appear
Farewell ceremonies and the presenta-
ton of the testimonial gift will follow
the performance, and all in all, the
occasion promises to be among the
most notable that New York opera

LONDON. HONORS
o. CHARLES DICKENS

LONDON, Feb. 6.-TOmOrrOW Will
be the 9th anniversary of the birth
of Charles Dickens and the occasion
will be fittingly observed by the
numerous Dickens societies in London
and throughout England. An exhibit
ton of Dickens relics and first editions
of his novels was opened in London
today and is attracting widespread
public attention.
The fear expressed a few years ago
that the popularity of Dickens was
waning is apparently without fOunda-
ton, as the last few months have been
marked by a revival of interest in
the works of the great novelist, and
it is now planned to observe mis- CEN
tennial in 1912 with a great national
celebration.
Reports from London publishers
show that during the last year the
popularity of Charles Dickens has
gone up by leaps and bounds Not
for many Christmases have this au-
In fact he heads the list of those
mas gifts.
NEW eultlOuS VI HIS ldlcS were
brought out and sold out. Not only
were his own works sold but the vari-
Gus books written about him are also
high up on the holiday list of popular
works.
Among the books published within
the last few months relative to Dick
ems or his writings are Readings
from Dickens" Miscellaneous Pa
pers,' Mr. PickWick's Christmas
Scenes and Characters From the
Works of Charles Dickens key to
the brood Mystery Character Por-
traits from Dickens" THE Christmas
Books" Highways and Byways in
Ken," Dickens Birthday Book, "
"Notes on Dickens's Tale of Two
Cities" "A New Spirit of the Age,'
"Pickwick Is Sued for Breach Of
Promise "a Christmas Carop' and
set of F'rosts Illustrations to the
Pick Wick Papers,"
OF course this list does not exhaust
the number of books published recently
about Dickens and his works in Eng
land, but it gives an idea of how much
in demand all "reminiscences, opinions
and descriptions of the novelist and
his writings are.

goers have known in many moons.
Honor "Honest Abe"
Green eyed scribes Of jealous mu-
inequalities occasionally iibe at New
York for it's alleged alOofness from
the rest of the country, and charge
the people of the metropolis with an
utter lack of the patriotism that eX-
lists so abundantly in other parts of
the country. We are accused of be-
ing mere money grubs and butterflies
of fashion, in whom the higher in
stincts of hero-worship and love of
country are extinct.
Thats such derogatory remarks are
envious earnings is proven by the
enthusiasm with which New York has
set about it's plans for the celebration
of the Lincoln centenary next week.
The anniversary will be practically a
holiday, with four large mass meet
ings in the biggest auditoriums of
Manhattan and Brooklyn, and special
exercises in nearly every school build
ing in the greater city. The Gettys-
burg address of Honest Abe will be
read in every school, in every armory
and at every Lincoln meeting and in
every theater.
Plans are also being made for a
permanent memorial to Lincoln in
this city, and when definite plans have
been agreed upon it is certain that
abundant funds can be secured to
finance such a project. This city is
also the center Of operations for the
Lincoln Farm association and the
committee in charge of raising funds
for the permanent endowment of the
Lincoln Memorial R,spital and Home.
A novel feature of the centennial in
New York was the production last
night of a four-act play, Lincoln at
the White House" with Benjamin
Chaplin in the title role. The pro-
ceeds of the performance of last night
and tonight will be donated to the
Lincoln Farm association, which was
formed for the purpose of maintaining
Lincoln's birthplace in Kentucky as a
permanent national park. The Garden
taeater is the scene of the pesenta-
ton Of the Lincoln drama, which re-
produces the pesident's library al the
White House and depicts many of the
stirring events which rendered Lin
CONS name immortal.
