Mr.. CURTIS LECTURES
ON HEART OF ASIA

William F.. Curtis spoke before the Ma
tional Geographic Society at Masonic
Temple last evening. his lecture Being a
review of the letters written by him for
The Star last spring during his journey
to The Heart of Asia as Turkestan is
called. He gave a general description of
the country and the people. and recital
of its recent history since it was con
quered by the soldiers of the car and
forcibly annexed to the Russian empire
forty years ago. He described the devel-
opment of agricultural resources, and
particularly the cotton industry. under
the fostering care of the Russian gov
eminent, which,. he said, had done as
much for its people as the government of
the United States. and was gradually
bringing the nomadic tribes into the vii
lagos and farming settlements. and be-
fore many years would change the entire
conditions of the country.
The eight millions OF natives, he said,
were prosperous, happy and commended.
There is no poverty IN Turkestan: there
are no teggars. Everybody Is well dressed
and well behaved. and the people are
satisfied with their conditions
Contented Because Uneducated.
Mr.. Curtis drew parallel between the
contentment Of the natives of Turkestan
and the unrest in India and Egypt, which
he said was due to the education of the
latter in modern civilization. Turkestan
is a closed country. No foreigner can
cross the boundary without q permit from
the minister of war; and very few are
issued. The Russian government has
adopted this policy OF eXclusiveness in
order that it may pick the immigrants
and the capitalists who shall develop the
material wealth of its Asiatic provinces
Although the government has done
nothing to improve the mental and moral
condition of the natives, ii has improved
their material condition by introducing
labor-sa wing machinery and opening mar
kets for everything they can produce.
Prohibition Rigidly Enforced.
Mr.. Curtis provoked hearty applause
when he explained that Turkcstan was a
dry" country in more senses than one.
and that the Russian authorities enforced
a prohibition law with relentless energy
No saloons. gambling houses, or other
disreputable. resorts are permitted and
any one who sells drop. of liquor to a
native or Russian peasant pays a fine
of five hundred rubles and goes to Jail
for one year. For the second offense he
pays a fine or one thousand rubles and
goes to Jail for five years. The govern
ment has also taken away all firearms
from the natives. and the result is a
peaceful. orderly, industrious and pros
porous community. There were, he said.
more murders in the District of Columbia
last year tran in all Turkestan, with its
ten millions of population.
The lecture was illustrated by eighty
lantern slides. showing the, appearance

the residences OF tho rich and the poor.

"Suits me. Speaking of the Court of

The doctor hesitated a brief instant
before replying. Then, with shrug of
his shoulders, he said slowly: MY ex-

IN EMINENT LONDON VOCALIST MAKES BRIDGEPORT HIS HOME

Many people have good, musical voices but lack confidence and train- ing In European countries, where all kinds of musical development is at its highest, advantage is taken of the slightest talent. Beginning upon a fupdamenta1 basis the voice is built up, until the quality of tone, the exc cution, the correctness of vocal ex- pression is as near perfect as human Limitations will allow Singers who have begun instruction with practical ly no voice, have been able after the most careful study to enter the ranks of proficiency. The successful instruc- tor in vocal culture, as taught in the modern school. must of necessity know the anatomy of the vocal or gans. This knowledge must be im- parted to the Student in order to en- able them to use. the voice intelli- gently Mr. Ceilings is able to give this instruction without the aid of physician, as, his studies abroad in- cluded a four year. course on voice anatomy.
 Bridgeport vocalists are fortunate at the present time in being able to re- tain the services of Prof J. c. Col lings, formerly c London, now of 16S Lenox avenue. MT. Ceilings has spent years with various vocal masters of London, in the study of vocal culture, and has taken a special course in Italy along the same lines. His work is thorough and the results obtained after the first lesson will surprise the student. Those who wish to consult Prof. Ceilings may do so between the hours of 9:30 and 1O:30 a. m. and 4:30 and 5:30 p. 5m., at the above address.

POLICE NEAR
 BURGLAR HERE
 DOESN'T FEAR
Takes a Flyer with a Tire Though the Station House Is Nigher Than a Burglar Should Desire.

Twas midnight on the avenue; the lights were burning low; across the way the station house sent forth a gentle glow. The sergeant sat behind the desk, the clock ticked on the wall if anyone was there you culdn't mo- tice 1t at all.
 But opposite headquarters is O'Con- nor's tire store chuck full of great big auto shoes and rubber things ga- ed in and did aspire to become the proud possessor. of a first-hapd rubber tire.
 But first he reconnoitered at police headquarters window. "The neighbor- hood is risky. but I'll do the best l kin do." And from that rubber store he then removed pane of glass and body pass. But once inside he turn ed around and glanced across the street and almost smiled out loud to see the coppers on the beat. He thought "The price of rubber s going up which makes my joy com plete; although my feet aren't tired here's a rubber tired feat. I know my clothes need mending but when better I desire, the only thing that I need do is just to change attire" With that he crept outside the store and chuckled once again to see the sergeant at the desk reviewing all his men. And down the street he bound ed then in furtive leaps and hops; '"The tires on the store," he said, ''but the rubber's on the cops.'
 This morning when O'Connor came and opened up his store and saw the tires vacant place it made him some what sore so he stepped into the sta tion house and gave the cops the hoot and now the sleuths are on the case in tireless pursuit.
