KISSING PRESIDENT
 SEVERE BLOW TO
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, April 15.-Suffra gettes, anti-suffragettes and disinterested persons today agree that the hissing of the President of the %Jnited States at last nights session of the woman suffrage convention will be the hardest blow the suffrage cause has yet suffer ed in America. The leaders of the Ma tionaI Woman Suffrage Association are today doing their utmost to min imize the incident by contending that the demonstration that greeted the Presidents limited endorsement of the movement was made by outsiders. President, said today:
 Tt was not our people who hissed and booted. The demonstration was made by persons whom I recognized outsiders and was confined to one part of the hall"
 Spectators, however, contend that the hissng 5ia ing was general and m +, that it ings of many of the suffrage dele gates.
 'HThe demonstration did not start in the back of the haI1,'' said K. W. Wye f'but in the midst of the delegates. It was 8 spontaneous outburst of feel ing against the Presidents statements. Several hundred in every part of the hall joined in the hissing and hoot- ing"
 Recognizing the possibilities of the National Woman's Suffrage As sociation today took up for consider ation the sending of a letter of apology and regret to the President.
 The declaration that drew the. dis approval of the suffragettes was that suffrage, if extended to woman, would probably be exercised by the feast desirable class and neglected by many intelligent and desirable.
 The words tIeast desirable aroused the ire of some and the rest of the sentence was lost in the uproar. The President officially recognized the his sing and administered a gentle rebuke. He again recognized the incident to- day when the official copy of the speech, as approved by him and en- tered in the White House files, inc1ud- ed in parenthesis after the offending paragraph, "hisses from several parts of the hall.''

been appointed general manager OF the
company. Heretofore the president has

retaining the presidency and the general
nanagership going to Mr.. Brooks.
Mr. Brooks is now so years old. He was
born on a Texas farm and entered the
service Of the Western Union in 1871. when
he was IL years old. as messenger boy
in the Texas town OF Navasola. He learned
20 operate q key and was made an opera

PERDPS "FALSTAFF" SUNG.
The Performance Not Quite Up To the
Best Metropolitan standard.

Verdi's -FaIstaf" was sung at the
Metropolitan Opera House last night
for the first time this season. That there
were not more general rejoioings on the
part Of the populace was a subject for
regret, for "Falstaff" is one OF the really
great works OF recent years. To he sure
the representations OF last season and
again Of this offered nothing OF extraor-
dinary character. The performance last
winter had no virtuoso fe atures. and that
OF last night leaned still more heavily on
that general average OF merit which
appears to be the chief object Of the
present government.
But -Falstaf' as given last night is
still a great work OF art, and it ought to
attract large audiences for its own sake.
Mr.. Sootti makes a sufficiently Ineligible
figure of the fat knight. and his impersona-
ton has a distinctly individual humor.
II preserves the favor OF the comedy and
IL does not mar Verdis music. Some of
Mr.. Sootti's associates Of last season were
again the Mrs. Ford, and her earnest
Efforts won her much applause. But the
gods did not make Nine. Destinn hu-
morous, and even Verdis charming
travesty OF the knight g love letter sounded
rather serious as she sang it.
Nine. Homer was the Dame Quickicb. II
was her first attempt at the part, and
doubtless she will be happier in it in late
performances, but last night she was not
very amusing. Mr.. Clement was quite
out OF his element as Fenton. He sang
! the music generally without fun effect
and his acting was apparently purpose
less. Mile. Jeanne Maubourg as Mrs.
| Page was a decided improvement on her
| predecessor OF last season.
MIR. Pini-Corsi was the Ford. a fact
which caused much wonder as to why
! Mrs. Ford should have made such time
about Faistof's fat. There was surely
room for as many bottles Of sack under
! the belt OF Ford last night as under that
! Of the amorous knight. And moreover
who could believe that Ford was such a
brawling. pestiferous knaveP One would
have supposed that he was at least coun-
! try gentleman.
The other members OF the cast we're
seen and heard last season. Arturo
! Toscanini conducted. II would he diff
cult to tell why. but his fine Italian hand
| had not its wonted cunning. The per
| formance as a whole lacked the musical
| incisiveness which it had last year. II
| was smooth and superfcislly correct
but it never radiated the full measure oi
| unction.
