Gustav Mailer. the new leader OF the
philharmonic Orchestra. who arrived on
Tuesday from Europe. told Tribune re-
porter yesterday in his apartments in the
Hotel Savoy that he would try to give
special concerts during the season at pop
ular prices. He said that the directors of
the Philharmonic concurred with him in
his opinion that the masses should have
the opportunity of hearing good music.
These concerts said Mr.. Mailer, will
he apart from those given in the regular
season, but hope 10 conduct them. as it
is only right that all, no matter what their
means. should have the chance of hearing
the best music
Mr.. Mailer said that he intended 20 de-
vote his time TO his symphony work
rather than to the opera, as he considered
the symphony the basis on which the musi-
cal education of a people must stand.
I'm my selection of programmes said
Mr.. Mailer, Il shall play besides selec-
uons of established merit, novelties that I
may consider possess merit. and in my
choice l shall be governed. to a large ex-
tent. by the wishes of the critics and the
pblic. ] intend TO conduct an historical
cycle, giving an outline of the music from
Bach down. The Sunday concerts will be
composed. to a certain degree, of the more
popular selections"

SPAIN AND FERRER'S DEATH.
Correspondent Thinks Execution Hard
ly Case of Martyrdom.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The attempt to make il appear that
Ferrer was done to death because he had
sought TO introduce into Spain the blessings
of education for the masses. and not be-
cause he had plotted against the state, ex-
poses those responsible for it to the sus-
picion OF being in sympathy with what his
schools actually taught. OF OF being persons
Of dangerous tendencies. The education his
schools impaired was precisely Of the kind
that bars an immigrant from landing upon
these shores. II consisted fundamentally OF
hatred Of Church and State, and all institu-
tlons OF which these are respectively the
religious and political expression quote
from an article IN which the writer thereof.
singularly Cor significantly enough. speaks
of Ferrer as a martyr to the cause OF mod
ern education:
Some OF Ferrer's teachings. as quoted
from one OF his books. are as savage at
tacks upon the existing order as ever were
penned by Kropotkin or Reclus. Take this
day is divided into the privileged and the
disinherited- That capital should appro-
pirate the fruit Of the workman's labor is
To maintain order is 10 maintain injustice
against the workinsman."
Yet these apologists declare that Ferrer
was merely a philosophical anarchist"
and that this particular kind OF anarchist is
not to be confounded with the active revolu-
ZIONIST. II this is true, then the view held
by many persons. that the two differ merely
as to function and not as TO principles. is
correct and sound. The one supplies the
philosophy. the other the bombs.
Equally futile must be the attempt TO lay
Ferrer's execution at the door OF the pre-
Vailins religion OF Spain. His schools in
Weighed not only against that faith, but
against all religions. This is readily seen
In the text books. from one Of which the
following Is taken:
All religions are based upon ignorance
and imposture, and aim at exploitat ton
Of the so-called Jesus Christ, and it is
truly a misfortune that such ideas exist
for the deceiving of the people
Il was for its opposition TO such doctrine
that the Church. 10 which the Spanish so
generally belong. has had its consecrated
edifices pillaged and destroyed
We are a sympathetic people. This Is
innpressiveIy seen In the welcome we give
70 the revolutionists OF other lands, who
requite our kindness by preaching here the
same doctrines they had preached in these
other countries. Only the other day one Of
our local newspapers IN commenting upon
Ferrer's death compared him to Wendell
Phillips. Adams and Washington! 1t is
upon Just such mistaken sentiment that So
cialists and anarchists depend for material
with which to make their planned manifes-
tations appear as representative of all ele-
ments in the community.
Let those good citizens who have received
invitations to meetings OF Indignation ar
ranged by these elements reflect how griev-
Gus must be the responsibility that shall
attach to all such who participate in these
demonstrations. TRADES UNIONIST

SEES VICTORY FOR BANNARD.
Local Political Conditions of 1905 and
This Year Contrasted.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In Otto T. Barnard we have a
straight out organization Republican, and If
he receives the full Republican vote there is
no reason why he should not be elected.
There is a vast difference between this cam
paign and the mayoraIty campaign of 1905,
IN which Mcclellan, Hearst and WINS were
the candidates. The vote that year was as
follows: Mcclellan. 22S,Ss7; Hearst, 224.-
s25; WINS. 1S7.1s3-
In the first place, WINS never was an or
ganization Republican. and the rank and
file could not be inspired with enthusiasm
for him; therefore. in the downtown dis
tricts and on the East Side thousands Of
Republicans voted for Hearst. In sthe up
town districts the Republicans realized that
WINS could not be elected. and they feared
the election of Hearst, consequently they
voted for Mcclellan. the 18th Assembly
District, the banner Republican district
being carried by Tammany Hail. Again.
the percentage of electors who did not vote
that year was the largest ever recorded, and
these. too. came largely from the RepubIi-
can districts
This year however instead of the Repub-
lican vote b1agg divided among three candi-
dates 1t is solid for Barnard. The Hearst
of 1905 IS not the Hearst OF 1909. as was
shown by the vote he received for Governor.
He is guilty Of the same charge which can
be made against Gaynor. Shepard and
CoIer, namely. selling himself TO Tammany
Hall. not for a mess Of pottage." perhaps,
but for place Of honor and glory. Hearst,
however. will receive 100000 votes. which
will be drawn almost entirely from Tam
many.
Again. Tammany Halls fraudulent vote
will be further reduced by the additional
stringent measures OF Superintendent Of
Elections Leary. Another important factor
in Tammany's strength Is the police force.
This. too. should be taken out Of politics by
the establishment OF a state cOnstabulary.
While this may not be In accord with home
rule yet Il Is case where the end tustifiss
the means. We must clean our shome first
and then consider home rule The most
effective way to do this Is for all citizens
who believe In honest government TO vote
for Otto T. Barnard and the entire ticket
which he heads GEORGE FENTRICK

MRS. HENRIETTA MORGAN DUKE.

Louisville, Oct. 2O.-Mrs. Henrietta Nor
gan Duke, wife of General Basil w. Duke,
known as ''Morgan's right hand man.,
was found dead in bed at the Duke home
here to-day. Heart disease is thought to
have caused death.
Mrs. Duke, as Henrietta Morgan, the
sister of General John H. Morgan. COM
mander Of Morgan's men, was married to
Mr.. Duke in 1859. Her husband, six
brothers and brother-in-law fought in the
Confederate army in the war between the
states.
Mrs. Duke was socially prominent in
Louisville and throughout the state and
an indefatigable member of the Daughters

years have been directed mainly to the
collection and preservation of data, relics
and history incident to the war. She
will be buried beside General Morgan.
New-York tribune., 1909-10-21

General Otis was born in Frederick City,
Md, in 1888. He was graduated from the
University of Rochester at twenty, studied
law and was admitted to the bar. Later
he studied at the Harvard Law School,
whence he was graduated in 1850. Entering
the army in 1852 as captain in the 140th
New York Volunteers, he became a colo
mel in 1854. He commanded a brigade in
the Army of the Potomas, and was severe
ly wounded in a battle in the vicinity of
Petersburg, and in consequence Of his in
juries he was discharged and brevetted
brigadier general of volunteers.
In 1867 he entered the regular army as
lieutenant colonel of the 22d Infantry. and
became colonel Of the goth Infantry in
1880. During this time he was serving on
the frontier against the Indians. He then
organized the infantry and cavalry school
at I.eavenworth, Kan, which he conducted
until 1855.
General Otis was made a brigadier gen.
eral in 1893, and was nominated a major
general in the regular army on May 4, 1898,
and assigned to duty in command OF the
Department OF the Pacific and as Military

command, such as Major Generals Thomas
NJ Anderson and Arthur Macarthur, Briga-
dier Generals NJ. P. Miller, Harrison Gray
Otis, Samuel Ovenshine, Irving Hale,
Charles King and others, General Otis
succeeded in fashiening into an army the

chief part of his force, and made the most
effective use of their lighting qualities. He
was assigned to- command the Department
of the Lakes on October g. 1900.
General Otis married when a young man
Miss Selden. daughter of the late Judge
Henry r. Selden, of Rochester. by whom
