taught on board ship. and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical observa-
tons for fixing latitude and longitude.
besides acquainting himself with bot.
any and geology, with patristic htera-
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, a steersman
and mariner. His resourcefulnesa
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh Here
no trees existed and no fuel was OBJ
tainable. bpt his men found many
bones OF slaughtered elephants. Liv-
tngstone at once took the bones on
board, burned them In the furnaces OF
the Ma-robert, and SO continued his
Journey.

OUTLINES PLANS TO CURB
POWER OF COMMITTEE

Washington, Oct. 8-Senator Cum
minis outlined today in part the re
form plans of the so-called "concilia-
ton committee" Of Republicans and
Progressives which hopes to bring
about the holding of a national Re-
publican convention early in 1914.
With the added support of many
Republican leaders who did not par
ticipate in the "get together" con-
ference in Chicago last spring, the
committee will insist that the control
of the Republican national commit
tee over the seating of delegates in a
national convention be abolished"
"The chief issue in this fight" said
Senator Cummins today, "is that in
volving the method of selecting and
seating delegates. We shall insist
that the present rules be so modified
and reconstructed that the Republi-
can national committee will no longer
have the power to make up tenn
porary roll of delegates, or to pass on
the credentials of state delegates be-
fore they are seated in the convention.
"We shall insist that changes be
made so that the Republican ma
tional committee shall take office as
soon as elected, instead of leaving the
control of the national committee 20
the old committees hands through
out campaign. We believe these to be
the chief matters of reform that must
be dealt with through special ma
tional convention"

ent, Amelia Duvall Stevens, the long
missing heiress to the big estate, had
just learned that she was sought in
connection with the disposition of the
property.
The receipts Of the public auction
Of the property, totaling nearly $500,
600, will revert to the state owing to
the failure of the public administrator

still remains unsold property valued
at about $4,000, and this will go to
the daughter in the event of produc-
ing satisfactory proof Of her relation

because of her romantic marriage to
Thaddeus Stevens.

Southern Pacific Extends Yard.

Brawley News: Seldom is there q
time when employees of the Southern
Pacific company are not employed in
construction work of some kind in the
Brawley yards. Just now big crew,
with Is cars, is laying 700-foot adj
dition to the passing track on the
west side of the railroad yard In
addition a 300-foot siding is being
constructed for the Standard Oil sta
ton, recently completed, near the
south side of the city.
The extension of the passing track
will enable the Southern Pacific com
pany to handle the long trains easier,
and permit further siding connections
if desired.
The improvements at the Brawley
yards are not the result of haphazard
determination, but Of a general plan
worked out by the railroad engineers
and built as needed Blue prints Of
what promises to be the most exten-
sive railroad yards of any point in
the valley are in existence, and are al
interesting study to those who are in
terested in the development of this
district.

Haskin Letters
Music in America
by Frederic j. Haskin.)

With the return of the world
leading musicians to America for an
other season, comes the announce
ment recently made that the United
States last year expended more than
$600,00O,O00 upon music. According
to the indications of the latest reports
as to subscriptions for grand opera
and concerts in the leading American
cities, this enormous sum is likely 70
be materially increased during the
year. According to the estimates of
a well known musician, the French,
Italian and German nations combined
hardly expend half a billion dollars
for music. America has exceeded this
by a hundred million dollars Yet it
is to these nations America has al
ways given difference in matters mu-
steal.
The $60O,O0O,O0O covers all the ex-
penditures for music in this country
SO far as can be ascertained. 1t in
cludes not only the expense of pub
lie performances but also the cost OF
all musical instruments for use in
public and private, from the phono-
graph used in the home to the grand
piano and the finest silver instru-
ments used in the large bands 1t in
cludes the salaries of all musicians,
both vocal and instrumental, and the
cost of all musical instruction in pri-
vate and public institutions. But even
under these conditions the expendit-
ure of so large a sum for only one
art is creditable showing for any
nation and one that must surprise
those who have not considered the

steady increase of musical interest in
this country.
1t must also be remembered that
these hundreds of millions, contrib
uted last year to American music
were purely voluntary upon the part
of individuals. In Europe, each of
the governments contributed mater
tally to the support of it's national
music and the large music halls are
chiefly under government control In
the United States, each is conducted
under private auspices, supported ~
part by annual subscriptions upon
the part of music loving individuals.
DR.. Anselm Gotzl of Vienna, a noted
German composer who last year Wis
tied this country, said recently IN
commenting upon the musical events
of New York last season: "Your
country certainly possesses every
thing nation should have to give
1T musical supremacy. Your Metro
politan opera house presents per-
formances which can be excelled no.
where. The casts, the superb orches-
ira, the fine chOruses, the magnificent
settings! Ah, they are not equalled
anywhere else in the world
While America still imports Euro
pean musicians for leading parts in
many of its musical performances, it
is gratifying to note how rapidly
American musicians are obtaining
recognition in Europe. An American
prima donna in Europe is now sure
of good reception because of the
good work which already has been
accomplished by singers from this
country. One of the most noteworthy
instances of the musical recognition
now being given to American musi-
clans in Europe is the appointment
this season of Theodore Spiering, an
American vioinist, to the post of mu-
sical director of one of the leading
musical institutions of the German
capital. 1t was founded for the pur-
pose of providing the public with
good music at popular prices and has
a membership of over 5000 At one
of his earliest concerts, Director
Spiering will produce a symphony by
Mrs. H. A. Beach, an American com
poser.
The success Of American prima
dOnnaS in Europe for several seasons
is partially responsible for the move
ment in this country to give more op-
portunity to native singers. Last wiz
ter the Chicago Auditorium, instead
of filling up its casts with foreign
singers, included ten American so
pranos in its lists. a larger number
of American singers will be employed
this year than ever before. This fact,
however, has no effect upon the NUM-
Der of foreign musicians who have
come over to trap their share of the
American millions. During the month
of August hundreds of European mu-
sicians arrived in New York to pre-
pare for Americas great musical sea
son, which this year will be the
most brilliant in history.
