AUTHOR OF JEWISH ANTHEM DIES.
Rival Claimants of Honor Dispute Right to
BURY Body of Naphtai Herr Imber.

NaphtaH Herr Iraber. the poet of the East Side.
whose 'Hatkivah" has become the national an
them of the Jews all over the world, died yesterday
in the Har Moriah Hospital No. 1l3 2d street
Final arrangements have not been made for his
funeral because conflict has arisen among several
claimants to the right and privilege of burying
him.
User Marcus. manager Of a branch Office of an
insurance company IN the Bible House, told yes
terday of a contract which he had with the dead
poet by which he to make him present Of
a grave, Imber having neither wife nor children
Marcus said that ne had in his possession poem
written by Imber 10 make the contract legal, and
that the only other copy OF it had been sent TO
Judge Mayer Sulzberger. of Philadelphia, for safe
keeping. a few DAYS after the execution of the
contract in August, 1908 Imber recovered from
illness from which ne suffering at that time
He used tO tell how the grave which had been
given to him had effected cure where medicine
had failed.
When Marcus telephoned to the hospital yester-
dav say that he going ahead with the
Tangements for the funeral and burial he was in,
formed that a society of GaliCian Jews had claimed
the right to bury the poet because he had at one
time lived in their home town in GaliCia. Marcus
said that he would not admit the sOcety's right
to bury the body and engaged lawyer to protect
his claims.

builder Of steamboats, used for the transportation
Of passengers on the river.
The time of the Journey between New York and
Albany was reduced from the Clermont's time OF
thirty-twO hours to the seven hours of the Dan

time the shape of the vessel had TO be changed

the bows Of the boats pointed; then he
changed the shape of the stern. making It sharper

Mr.. Hammerstein had an audience and gave a
performance at the Manhattan Opera House which
looked and sounded little like a modulation from
the preliminary season TO that which is to be dis
tinguished by regular subscriptions and higher
prices The opera was Offenbach's 'Contes Hoff-
MANN an excellent piece for purposes Of transit
ton; free from the ordinary operate strut and
pomposity more than prettiy tunefu full of lovely
pictures and dramatically interesting If rather
invertebrate and somewhat dsjointed. There
charm enough in the work TO make IT strikingly
successful when it was first brought forward two
seasons ago and to make it hold its better than
more pretentious and sensational operas last

Nicklausse. Miss Geutle's voice has the quality
which has had classic praise as being an excellent
thing In woman; but its timbre is not wholly ef
fective In the music which Offenbach wrote for the
part. Nine. Walter-VIlla surpassed her predeces-
sor yocay the doll but was less efficient in ac-

have been mentioned the public We're invited To ac-

his predecessor in the roles of Coppelius Dapper-

Lucass efforts were in a different case With
connTnendahle skill actor and good under

pleasure because OF his persistent offence against
correct intonation-a fault Of which Miss Baron
was also guilty in the second act as Giulietta.

be 'unOrdained after trial on charges. The synod
may dismiss the complaint, may rebuke the Pres

making the complaint because they wish the
papers written by Mr. Black and the two other

be passed and ordained the night. There
could then be no possible ground for complaint.
