A Remarkable Career.

Young Mr.. Thunderbolt' is the title
that James Hay, jr., gives to his dramatic
narration of how Luke Lea climbed to
the top of the tower of fame Mr. Lea
has just been sent to the United States
Senate, the Youngest man ever elected
to that distinguished body Che is only
thirty-one), after as bitter a fight as
was ever made in political history. It's
a strange and dramatic life this young
solon has led. He began to mix strenu-
ously in politics as soon as he left col
lege at twenty-three, and so strenuous
was his career that Mr.. Hay likens him
to a thunderbOlt trimmed with white
lightning
Lea began practicing as an attorney in
Nashville in 1903. Three years later
he so dominated the state political con-
vention that by overriding all precedent
and parliamentary procedure he broke
the machine and nominated Patterson
for. governor. The following year, be-
cause he heard that Patterson was not
acting fairly, Lea opposed his former
friend, upholding Carmack. who was
later murdered as an outgrowth of the
heated fight, and finally wiped out the
entire Patterson following from political
Office in the state. Then, early this year,
to cap his career. Lea, despite his own
opposition. was sent to the Senate to sue
coed James B. Frazier. In The Sunday

AID OF WOMAN EMPLOYEES.
Central Labor Union Espouses Cause
of Bureau Workers.

Central Labor Union discussed plans
at it's meeting in Typographical Temple
last night for aiding the woman employees
of the bureau of engraving and printing
in their efforts to secure higher wages
and better working conditions. The CEN
trail body instructed the legislative COM
mittee to appeal to Director Ralph and
also to prepare and present a petition to
Congress.
1t is the aim of the central body to Sc
cure for the woman workers in the bu-
reau a scale of wages equivalent to that
received by the male employees. It is
explained among other reasons for this
fair adjustment of the wage problem in
the bureau that the particular work of
the women is not only laborious and
tedious, but that it is tax upon the
women's health and that the present
wages Of $15O a day should be raised
to 50 day.

Tetrazzini.

The songbird Of the present genera
ton, Tetrazzini paused at Washington
last night in the migration she is max
ing across the American continent. In
concert she proved even more delightful
than in opera, since the program gave
opportunity to hear her in a variety OF
selections. The opportunity to gain
thorough acquaintance with her inimtabIe
art compensated for the lack Of full
orchestra. supporting cast and mis- en-
scene. In this connection the remark
ably efficient assistance given by her
accompanist, Mr.. Andre Benoist, calls
for note. Each of her programmed num-
bers called forth an ovation, and she
was prOdigal with encores as only one OF
her limitless resources would dare be.
To attempt to analyze the superb per-
Torrance Of this gifted woman Is
thankless task. since her vocalization Is
thing complete in itself, whose one
apart from all technical considerations.
Technique with Tetrazzini Is a subordi-
nate consideration. 1t Is not the end but
the means to a full and glorious express
sion with fullest sympathy OF the COM
poser's most subtle intentions. Tetraz-
zini has the advantage OF exceptionally
agreeable personality, and the ingenious
friendliness OF her attitude toward her
audience is as charming as her singing
IS beautiful. She was accompanied by
artists worthy to surround her. Barron
Berthald won enthusiastic applause for
q group Of baritone songs. and Walter
Oesterreicher provided the flute obligato

;ic:ency. The marvellous gown worn by

with Molly o." In addition to the
songs, he told some humorous stories
that were new and served to create
much merriment.
John Rice and Sally Cohen, in answer
to a hurry-up call, replaced the Ed
mund Stanley Company on the pro-

funny sketch that kept the audience
in great good humor for twenty min
