JAPANESE GIRL"
AT CENTURY CLUB

Under the direction of Miss Isabelle
Wales, and with Mrs. Elwood c. Jack
son at the piano. and Miss Della Sim
mons. violinist. the two-act operetta,
"The Japanese Girl" will be given for
the benefit of the Peoples Settlement,
at the New Century Club, tomorrow
evening
Miss Lydia Saville will be the SOLO
list in the Flower Song, and the SOLO
list in the dance will be Miss Janet
Jackson. Between the acts, Miss
Simmons will play Audante and Allie
gro Molti Vivace, by Mendelssohn.
Because of the success achieved by
those taking part in the operetta, on
the occasion of its first appearance,
there remains not doubt that the
success will be equally as pronounced
tomorrow evening The idea of the
operetta was suggested by reading OF
a picturesque custom prevalent in
some parts of Japan
When a near relative is obliged to
be absent from Japan for some time
he usually leaves with a loved one, a
singing bird. a young tree or a grow
ing plant, which is called by his name
and regarded as his substitute. The
greatest care possible is bestowed on
this object, as il is considered most
unlucky for the person itNrepresents
should any harm befall it during his
absence.

ness uses to crush those whom it

'This attack upon me personally
is a dirty, eontemptuous lie.
|The story is that took a disso-

there at a big hotel.
'eThat is a mean lie, a low-doWn

"In one way the story is ridiculous.
The idea that if wanted to do any

of the question.

Be summoned before the committee
senate and forced to produce the af-
fidavit concerning the scandal, which
Sullivan had told newspaper men was
in his possession.
Sullivan was subpoened before the
senate today. He did not want to
submit the affidavit at first unless the
senate promised to withhold the
names in it.
The senate, sitting as a committee
of the whole, refused to make any
such promise, but said that the
names would be withheld from pub
Hcation if possible.
Sullivan then declared that he had
been incorrectly quoted in the news
papers. He said that he never had
told newspaper men that he had the
affidavit in question in his possession,
but only that he had seen such an af-
fidavit.
He then explained that after being
summoned by the senate yesterday
he secured the affidavit and had it
with him even then.
His attorney, Fred Mortimer, OBJ
jected to SuIlivan's submitting the
AFFIDAVIT to the senate without
promise that the names in it would
not be given out.
But at last, after conference, the
affidavit was turned over to the ex-
amining committee of the senate,
composed of Senators Bttleson,
O'Connor, Jones and Daily, by SulH-
van.
The examining committee read the
affidavit, and then reported to the
senate that the charges therein were
very serious, and that time would
be required for their consideration
by the examining committee. The
