An Early Sonata That Cost the Com
poser . Lot Of Money.
Wagner when young man wrote a
sonata which had fair success. but
in after life he made every effort to
suppress it. Going to the publisher,
he said. Have you any copies OF that
miserable thing still unsold?"
"Yes." was the reply; Il have quite
a number Of them in stock"
"Send them to me at once, with a
BILL" said the composer.
A thousand copies were soon after
ward delivered at his door. The bill
was big one, but 1t was paid. some

he had done with the thing. What
was his surprise. then. at receiving
two or three months later another
consignment. this time Of 900 copies.
II thought you had only thousand
of these things" he protested.
THAT was all l had in stock" ex-
planned the dealer. but these have
been returned by my agents, to whom
l wrote that you wished to have the
sonata suppressed"
Wagner WINGED. but there was moth

MRS. HULL AND DAUGHTER
HELD UP BY CUSTOM SPIES
AND FORCED TO DISROBE

in a message from New York yesterday
that Mrs. Joseph Hull and her daughter
Miss Nina Hui, had been searched by
a female government officer in New
York after their return from Europe on
the steam ship Lusitania, created big
sensation in Savannah, where Mrs. Hull
and her daughter are well known. 1t has
been long time since such information
of this kind has been so widely discussed.
Mr.. Hull is probably the richest man in
Savannah. He is president of the Mer-
chants National bank and of several
other influential and wealthy organiza-
tions, and no one here believes that
either Mrs. Hull or her daughter would
attempt in any way to defraud the gov
eminent of any customs duties on any
articles they might purchase while
abroad Mrs Hull is expected home
probably on Monday or Tuesday or next
week accompanied by her husband and
other members of her family. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr. Hull will take some ac-
ton against the government for what
his friends here look upon as most
outrageous action. He is a very deter
mined man and there is no doubt he will
do something to place the blame for this
unwarranted liberty where 1t belongs.

and her daughter, Eliza Lamar Hull,
were allowed to proceed to their hotel,
where another daughter, Nina W., con-

been subjected TO search.
The necklace rumor dismissed, Gus
