to musician whose achievements
have already reflected much glory on
Keokuk.
Mrs. Wilma Hultgren-Hillberg. the
young Swedish pianiste, who has
made Keokuk her home for the past
year, will give a piano recital under

ed several representative Keokuk
audiences this winter. This announce
ment will be sufficient, it is believed,
to entirely fill the auditorium of the
church.
Mrs. Hillberg is the young artistic
who recently achieved such az notable
triumph in Cedar Rapids when she
played with the New York Symphony
Orchestra. Mr. Damrosch, himself,
has acclaimed her as an artistic whose
great success was deserved, and In
whose future he believes. Her number
the Tchaukowsky Concerto in F Minor
played with the full orchestra, created
veritable sensation, and she was re-
called often enough to have played
half dozen encores," according to
the Cedar Rapids papers
Mrs. Hillberg has been exceedingly
generous to Keokuk audiences having
played several times in the Monday
Music Club and elsewhere and repre-
senting the club in its reciprocity pro-
gram in Burlington the past month,
where she gained laurels for both
herself and the club. She has taken
keen and active interest in all mat.
tiers pertaining to music in the club
and city. and 1t remains for Keokuk
to show it's appreciation of that inter
est and of her wonderful art which,
as Burlington critic puts it needs
but a press agent to make her one of
the first piano players IN this or in
any other country"
According to the usual custom the
Monday Music Club has made popu-
lar price for the recital, SO that as
many as possible may attend. Tickets
are only fifty cents and may be
bought of any member of the Music

Forty-seven Years
Ago.
sIxTY-F1vE YEARS OLD
Was a Native Of kentucky and Re-
sided In Missouri In His
Younger
Days.

At 6:15 o'clock this morning Thorn
as R. Ayres, after prolonged illness
from heart trouble, closed his eyes
in his last long sleep. For forty-seven
years. except few years spent in the
west. he had been prominently iden-
titled with the business interests OF
Keokuk.
Mr.. Ayres was born February 10,
1847, at Danville, KY. one of the
garden spots of the blue grass state,
the home Of culture and elegant re-
finement and the location Of old Can
Vn college one Of the land marks Of
kentucky's educational interest. 1t
was this college that sent Rev. DR..
Willis H. Craig to Keokuk, and Rev.
Drs. Clelland and Worrall. In these
favored surroundings Mr.. Ayres lispeo
his first boyish recitations at school.
In 1857 the family came west settling
in Missouri near Canton, an early col
lege town, where he finished his edu-
cation at Canton college.
In 1865 the family made another
move and came to Keokuk. Soon after
coming here the father, T. R. J..
Ayres, entered the jewelry trade, the
firm being Ayres, Mann & Ayres,
which continued for short time when
| the interest of Mann was purchased
and the firm of T. R. j. Ayres &
Sons was established of which the de.
ceased was member. In order to
separate the music from the jewelry
department, the former was conduct.

In 1892, the deceased DISPOSED OF
his interest with the two firms and
located in Denver where he conducted
a real estate business. There he re
manned until 1901 when he returned
to Keokuk and after few years in
other pursuits returned to the ole
| jewelry and music establishment
with whose business he had grown ur
from youthhood and remained there
until taken down with his fatal i'll
ness.
In the earlier social and hospitable
day of Keokuk, when there was much
genuine life and pleasure in the good
old town, Thomas R. Ayres was. one
Of the prominent figures in that so
cial and hospitable life. Apparently
somewhat reserved he was always
genial and companionable with his in
timent friends and associates, and
was always welcome in the best OF
Keokuk social circles.
Mr.. Ayres was married August 81,
1884, to Miss Gertrude Livingstone, an
estimable lady OF New Brighton, Pa,
in which city the ceremony was per-
formed. After his return to Keokuk
from the west his wife died in 1903.
No children were born to them. Mr..
Ayres was member Of st. Johns
Episcopal church of this city.
He is survived by two brothers and
one sister, Joseph ]. Ayres and Miss
Eta S. Ayres, both of Keokuk, and
DR.. Samuel Ayres, Of Pittsburgh, Pa.

WICKERSHAM PRODS
SENATE'S DIGNITY
Attorney Generals Refusal to Fur
nish Data Brings Protest
from Bacon.

Attorney General WIckersham reused
the sleeping dignity Of the Senate by
sending a letter to that body yesterday
declining to send correspondence and
other information relating to the In
ternational Harvester Company. The
information was called for in a resoIu-
tion introduced by Senator Luke Lea
Of Tennessee. and passed March l6
The letter from the Attorney General
read in the Senate contained, among
other things, the statement:
Il am directed by the President to
say that in my opinion it Is not COM
patible with the public interest to fur
nish the information called for"
Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon, of
Georgia, voiced, the Senate's indigna-
tion as he has done on many occasions
before. The Attorney Generals letter
in response to the resolution explained
that the correspondence and other in
formation relating to the International
Harvester Company, now in the De-
partnfent of Justice, part of which is
made up OF reports from the Bureau
of Corporations, relates entirely TO
matters pending and uncompleted" in
the department.
Senator Bacon declared that the Sem
ate's dignity had been affronted..
These executive departments should
not forget their relations to tR Con-
gress of the United States" said the
Senator. They have not a power that
they do not derive from Congress. They
were created by Congress and Congress
can take away their powers. II there
are reasons why the information oan-
not be furnished to the Senate, then
that fact should be communicated to
the Senate in different tone than is
shown in this letter."
