After that You couldn't fool us. We
knew it was Anna Held's Daughter. She
can speak four languages-,and. sometimes

She said something. II seems that she
was either dressing or undressing which
makes very little difference. She would

PLAN TOLICENSE
MUSIC TEACHERS
HOTLY ATTACKED
Would Promote incompetence
and Perpetuate Charlatanism,
Says Frank Fruttchey
MAKES BITTER PROTEST
TO LEGISLATURE
Declares Nj. Nj. T. A., Which
Pushes Measure, Has No
Standard of Efficiency

There has been vigorous opposition
from a number OF Detroit and Michi-
gan music teachers against the bill
iathered by the Michigan Music Teach
ers' association providing foI the
licensing" OF teachers of music, which
bill is nov pending In the Michigan
legislature Frank Fruttchey. the we'll
known Detroit teacher and organist, in
kthalf OF the opponents OF the bill, has
sent the following letter 10 every mem
Der OF the legislatures:
Dear Sir-The Michigan Music
Teachers association is again be-
fore you with bill 10 license the
music teacher. Kindly note:
There is no examination leces-
sary for membership ia the NJ vi.
L. A. and no standard OF efficiency
Is required. II is, therefore. alb
" surd. stupid, and exceedingly bad
taste for the NJ. NJ. + A., 20 ask
the legislative bodies OF the state
TO provide standard OF musicl
efficiency which they dare not
impose upon their own member
ship There are hundreds OF
musicians and music lovers who
have no interest or sympathy With
the methods ana procedure OF the
VI. NJ T. A. These people believe
that arr matters automatically
regulate themselves according 10
he intelligence OF the people.
They believe that legislation, as
proposed by the NJ NJ. 4. a. would
merely promote Incompetence ard
perpetuate charlatanism in its
crudest form. The W. NJ. 7. A
has statewide membership OF
about 500. There are about one
thousand teachers in Detroit
alone. The strength OF the NJ VI
T. A. is not what it would haze you
believe This bill. or in fact any
bill, proposed by them. will bene-
fiji the purposes or the organiza.
ton BY throwing musical affairs
into their hands. The legislative
bodies OF this state should not be
used for the purpose OF filling the
Golfers OF any organization
A similar bill when brought before
ne legislature two years ago was
defeated .sInce that time some OF
is provisions have been modified.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.---Without ex-
ception the New York newspapers
condemn the Staying OF dcposed Pres
ident Madero and Vice-President
Suarez Following are extracts:
WORI.D-They were shot 10 death
b. towards, acting in behalf OF other
towards whose false excuses only
add 20 their guilt. President Taft is
emphatically right in his policy OF
non.intervention except az last ana
desperate resort We have the ut
most right to safeguard the lives OF
our own people and foreigners. we
have no obligation TO keep the people
OF Mexico from each others throats
TRIBUNE is no darker
rage than this which Huerta has
written In the blood OF the Maderos
SUN-Poor Madero stood however.
totterlngly for deep, imperious, in
escapable reforms Victim of an
other tyranny, Maderos name may
vet stand with those of Hidalgo and
Morelos.
HERAI.D-1.et no one consider
this time for hasty action or wild
talk OF intervention The serious
aspect Is that if this was done in cold
blood. II transcends all laws OF civ.

MERGCAN-While murder sue.
ceeds murder in Mexico. Taft, the
man OF straw. makes bland speeches
about the necessity OF patience ana
the part OF a big brother We are to

TIMES-Our national interest In
the incident is concerned only with
its effect on Mexican politics, and the
possibility that II may increase the
danger OF anarchy in the much a.
fiicted republic.
