RICCARDO MARTIN SAYS HE
OWES MUCH OF HIS Sue.
CESS TO HER.

Few of the many thousands who
have showered plaudits on the great
est American tenor. Ricardo Martin.
who sings in this city in the spring
music festival Of the Wednesday Club.
April 20 and 80. realize how much he
owes to his wife for his success. OF
course. the singer who shares with
Caruso the leading tenor honors at
the New York Metropolitan Opera
House has the voice. the art and the
dramatic capacity to command the
admiration OF the most exacting opera
lovers Of the world. His career has
already proved that. But there are
many things that figure In a sing
ing success altogether outside the
ability to '1et go" vocal climax
bringing cries Of bravo" and bis"
II you were to ask him, Martin
with charming modesty will promptly
say so. Also, under fitting circum-
stances. he Will sing the praises OF
Mrs. Martin in tones as caressingly
golden az those he uses In his most
famous tenor arias. There Is never
a performance in which he sings that
the tenor does not insist upon the
nearby presence Of his WIFE She rides
with him in his carriage to the opera
house., superintends the arrangement
OF his costumes In her instructions to
his dresser and usually stands In
the wings during the progress Of the
opera.
Even on this present tour Mrs. Mar
tin accompanies her musically gifted
husband to give him the benefit OF
her wise counsel and be- near him at
all times. Mrs. Martin raIinqufshct
her own exceptionally promising ca
reer to devote herself with wholes
hearted unselffshness to her hus-
bands. She Is tall, graceful and with
a quiet manner and an air Of au-
thority. possession and poise are
other attributes that count In en-
abling her to be his greatest help.

SAYS CRITICS
WERE UNFAIR
Governor Wilson Comments
on Writings as to immigrants.

Madison, W5s-Geverncr woodrow
Wilson's attitude on the Immigration
Of Italians, Hungarians and Poles Is
stated In a letter to Jotn A. Aylward
OF this city, made public last week.
The letter wa evoked by published at
tacks based on quotations from Gov
ernor Wilson's historical writings. Says
the governors
He must be a very ignorant man
who does not know the distinction at
tacling to the history of the great
Italian people and of the Hungarian
and Polish nations, which, through so
many generations have made a gallant
struggle to maintain the rights of man,
and who have in the process developed
so many qualities that entitle them to
the profound respect Of the world. L
have never for a moment regretted
that u great composite nation was
enriched by the blood OF these people.
"All that | commented upon was the
~undoubted fact that during the years
Of which 1 speak some of the baser
slefnents out of these nations-ele-
raents such as might have come out of
any of the nations of the ~worid-had
been brought In undesirable num-
berE 2nto ossk ports 10 the embarrass-
nent OF their eoruasx eompatriots, as
well a. to the detrfxnsnt of some of
the communities into which they went.
"GIeariy the class to which | refer
red In ray history Is notFthe intelligent,
liberty loving class which came Of It's
own v~oiition, seeking a home and a
land OF freedom. I rsferred to the
class OF laborers which was brought
here under paHper labor contracts by
some of tho great protected industries.
During the time mentioned the peo-
Piles referred to happened to be the
ones drafted upon. This vicious prae1
tice became sc offensive and dangerous
that congress, yielding to a strong de-
mand from the laboring classes, which
included Hufigarians, Italians and
Poles alike, passed q stringent law
against the abuse.
II am sure that the leaders of the
Polish, Italian and Hungarian citizens

WANTS EVERLASTING BOXES.
John H. Stephens Starts Bill to Cut
Mail Box Rent.

Washington, May "a bill to
require the Government to furnish
postoffice boxes permanently when
the original cost of the boxes is paid
by subscribers without additional
charge, was introduced in the House
by Representative John H. Stephens
of Texas.
Mr.. Stephens would put an end
to high postoffice box rent, which he
considers discriminatory in many
cities that do not have adequate
free mail delivery, in view of the
fact that most of the larger cities
of the country get numerous free
mail deliveries, and consequently
the renting of boxes is wholly un-
necessary. 4
Another bill providing for re-
vision of the postal laws regulations
by specially appointed congress
sioal committee was introduced by
Mr. Stephens today.
