CHRISTMAS CAROLS
HEARD in HOTELS
Choir Boys March Through the
Lobbies, Carrying Old
Words of Cheer

The old custom of singing Christmas
carols on the eve of the 25th,
revived in this city last winter for the
first time in many years, found an echo
last night when the choir boys, almost
40 strong, from the Cathedral Mission
of the Good Samaritan visited the
different hotels of this city from until
$3.50 o'clock and sang in the Iobbies a
number of the old familiar Christmas
songs.
The Fairmont was the first of the
hotels where the young singers added
to the spirit OF the season by their
songs of Christmas cheer. They opened
their evenings caroling with the well
known lines of "Ye Faithful Approach
Ye." Their voices carried well Syer the
whole main floor of the great hostelry
and drew an interested Christmas
audience both inside and out To the
air of Onward Christian Soldiers" they
entered the palm garden of the Palace,
where. despite counter attractions, a
brilliant crowd was awaiting them.
while Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks by Night" proved one of the
favorite carols at each of the hotels
they visited, and was the one that
found the most encores. The crowds
that had gathered to hear them at the
Stewart, Palace, Fairmont, Manx ana
the other hotels where they stopped to
bid the crowds good Christmas cheer
and to bespeak good will to men re-
manned after their departure to hear
the music played by the various orches-
tras during the balance of the evening.
At the st. Francis the band of sweet
singers fingered longest, for the huge
revolving Christmas tree in the center
of the tapestry room proved an added
attraction to them. It's myriad
lights, great glittering balls of fire and
the bright ornaments and toys that
bent its every bough proved a drawing
card that called forth even their
greater music. and every ehoirboy in
turn was given a gift from the store
supplied the day before through the
kindness of the management and a
number of interested and charitable
persons.
The boys singing was one of the
features of the hotel life last night
the time after the dinner hour when the
crowds had begun to thin little, and
before they literally poured In again
for the late supper hour after the out
door concert.
In every hotel the orchestras were
vibrating and music filed the air.
The echoes of the Christmas carols

Audience Waits for Favorte

the far windows at the top of the
opposite buildings caught every modu-
lation, every infection.
AS the first verse ended and the or
chestra struck stronger chord the
silence lasted for a moment while the
echoes of te last full note swelled
out over the crowd. Then came the
greatest cheer of all, the cheer of
people delighted, now at last sure it
was Tetrazzini herself who sung to
them. The madame bowed again and
kissed her fingers to her admirers.
But the orchestra struck the first bars,
and the song went on. Again the per-
feet hush fell over the crowd, and
again the deafening roar broke out as
the song ended.
But the intermission was brief, to
the sorrow of photographers and NOV
ing picture operators Steindorff gave
the signal, and the second song was
begun, the waltz aria from Gounod' S
Romeo and Juliet"
Here, instead, Tetrazzini showed her
power and her emotion. Through all
the difficult Selection her voice was
superb and no note escaped the press
ing thousands on the far outskirts of
night air her voice rose to high d,
and never IN closed and warmed opera
house was the note so f1awiess.
Then came the ovation again and
continued cheers as the delighted Tet-
razinni, pet of the capitals of the world
though she is, insisted on answering
each cheer with a wave or a lightly
blown kiss. She walked around the
platform on the arm of the mayor
greeting each portion of the mob.
FINAL SALUTE OF KISSES
Her path fro mthe platform to her
apartments, opened with difficulty by
the enraptured police, was a continued
ovation and her rom was soon swarm
ing with friends bent on congratula-
ton. A crowd of more than 200 waited
in the hall in the hope of seeing her.
and the thousands in the street abso-
lutely refused to move until after a
half hour or more Tetrazzini withdrew
from her window and with a final
salute of kisses.
Perhaps the happiest person in the
whole assemblage, If we except the
diva herself, was Musician L. G. Wheel
er of the One Hundred and Forty
seventh coast artillery corps, u. S. A.,
who blew eattention" upon his bugIe
to quiet thethrongl on Tetrazzfn's first

CROWD HELD BY SPELL
PRODUCED BY SINGER
Dense Throng Preserves Perfect Order Despite
The Terrific Crush

She was jannmed in the densest part
of the crowd She had been there for
an hour. With every minute the pres
sure from all sides grew greater. With
exalted fortitude she bore 1t all in
silence until the end of Tetrazzini's S
first song. Then, in the quiet that fol-
lowed the applause. she said, and she
spoke as from her soul:
oh Lord But I wish they'd give
her to me for Christmas"
This exalted fortitude was the key
note of the greatest congregation that
ever gathered in one part OF San Fran
cisco with a common object, and the
girl voiced the sentiments of every unit
in the multitude. Ittwas a crowd that,
unruly, could not have been suppressed
by the combined police forces of
greater San Francisco with the troops
at the Presidio to help. 1t was a crowd
that extended from below the Palace
hotel to beyond Fourth street, from
halfway between Mission and Market
to Post and Kearny. 1t filed the win
dows of every building that bounded
these limits and it covered the roofs.
On the ground 1t was solid mass and,
when Tetrazzini sang, as silent as the
desert
SINGERS WISHES RESPECTED
San Francisco is probably the only
big city in the United States where last
nights spectacle would have been pos
sible. Underfoot the pavements were
clean and dry. Stars bnnked their ap-
proval from clear sky and the tenn
perature was at that accommodating &
degree where overcoats are neither
necessities nor membranes. The
magnet was Tetrazzini, but the spec
tacle was the crowd.
just as Tetrazzini redeemed her
pledge so did San Francisco observe
the spirit of the gift. The crowd was
made up of just the people for whom
the diva had wished to sing. Her re-
quest that automobiles stay away was
scrupulously observed.
All Tetrazzinis audiences in this city
put together would have filed a small
part of the space occupied by last
nights throng in which were thou
sands who heard her voice for the first
time. This is exactly as she wished it
and she showed her delight as plainly
as the crowd demonstrated its appre-
citation.
CROWD GATHERS EARLY
1t was the best natured crowd that
ever gathered anywhere. Although its
elements were not those accustomed to

for the streetcars which continued the
operation of harvesting nickels until
the last possible moment
PATIENCE SEEMS HEROIC
Even when the streetcars were
packed in on all sides by the human
flood which ebbed and flowed as the
cars crawled by the crowd maintained
its good nature, although with each
car after the crowd had gained a cer-
tain density the crushing must have
been terrific As time wore on the

cars to get through. The last car dis

The cry of joy that went up to the
stars when the diva made her first an

heard it will never forget. It came
from the heart of a vast multitude
and poured from their throats with
roar that must have made the breakers
crawl back to the bosom of the ocean
just little bit ashamed of their punv
splashing.
CHEERS FOR SONG QUEEN
Although the subjects of a monarchy
may be willing to die for their royal

being instantly broken. A few slight
struggles were made by Casson. but
II Is thought by the prison physicians
that this was only an involuntary
movement and that he was dead az
the time. Within ten minutes the
doctors. with their hands on the
pulses Of the hanging men, de-
cared that the hearts had ceased to
beat.
The bodies will be disposed OF as
the men requested before they died.
Cook wllled his body TO DR.. X. LIN
Cave and asked that Il be embalmcd
and sent to his father in Robertson
county. Love Bond stated that he
wanted his body turned over to a
local medical college,. 20 be used for
the good Of the profession. Caaon
left word with Warden Rice that his
sister in Memphis be notified and
that his body be sent TO her.
Those who were present state that
the hanging was carried out as
