PERUVIAN BEEF AT BARGAIN.
Can Be Laid Down in New York for Less
Than 10 Cents Pound

| New York, Sept 26.-Leading Ameri-
can exponents of international commerce
were here from all parts of the country
last night to attend the fourth annual
banquet OF the American Manufacturers
Export association which held its con-
vention during the day, electing G. 4.
Jenkins of this city president.
John Bassett Moore, chief counsellor
of the department of state; James A.
Farrell, president of the United States
Steel corporation, and Augusta b.
Leguia, former president of Peru, were
among those who spoke at the banquet.
American banks in South America
will be an important factor in promoting
your commercial interests, he declared.
Referring to discussion of "dollar a
pound beef" Mr.. Leguia said that beef
shipped from Peru could be laid down in
New York for less than 10 cents a
pound
The relations of the state department
with export trade was the theme of Mr..
Moore's talk. He pointed to opportunity
of reciprocal expansion of foreign trade
as a commendable feature of the pending
tariff legislation. He discussed the
correlation of the consular service with
the diplomatic service and urged the as
sociation to oppose any serious sugges-
tion that might be made to have the con
sular service divorced from the depart
ment of state and placed under the
jurisdiction of the departments of com
merce and treasury. As protection of
our interests abroad, he declared. this
service must remain under the depart
ment of state.
James A. Farrell urged enlargement of
ocean transportation facilities to meet
foreign trade increase. Americans have
been intent upon being merchants rather
than investors, he said, and the limited
character of American capital abroad.

explains the hold that England has and.
Mr.. Farrell predicted will have for
many years on business in these
markets. Mr. Farrell commended the
consular service for its efficiency.
The necessity of a better merchant
marine as a medium to control South
American trade was emphasized by Mr..
Leguia. The new currency legislation
when enacted will help to bring this
country into closer trade relations with
South American countries, he said.

AUDIENCE ENRAPTURED
By Scotney and Three Other Members of
Concert Company.

Madame Evelyn Scotney and three
contemporary yirtuosos from the White
entertainment bureau attracted con-
siderable number of music lovers to the
opera house last evening and furnished
one OF the most notable concerts that
Barre has had in some time Madame
Scotney's initial appearance in this city
was made on the occasion of the visit
of the Boston opera stars last season
and the majority of those who were
privileged to listen TO her last night an
tieipated her second coming with no
small degree OF pleasure. The favor
which she won here last winter was
easily repeated Howard White, basso
and cello artist, Karl Barleben, violin
ist, and Frank Waller, pianist, lent a
large measure of enjoyment to the pro-
gram
That the audience was comparatively
small detracted not a whit from the
pleasure of the concert and what it
lacked in numbers it made up in en-
thusiasm From the outset, the artists
won ovation after ovation from their
appreciative hearers. Hardly had the
madame stepped toward the procenium
before the house was ringing with ap-
plause. Likewise with Messrs White,
Waller and Barleben; always the plaud
ITS given them bespoke an eager desire
for more. Why group of talented ar
fists will attract only small gathering,
while light and frivolous musical af-
fair draws on large population is not
TO be considered here, for the few who
sat erraptured through two hours last
evening have proved again that apprecia
ton is not a thing of numbers. Madame
Scotney and her contemporaries never
wanted for evidences of that apprecia
tion.
OF the operate star little need be
said to emphasize her remarkable wealth
of talent Singing "Je Suis Titania,'
from "Mignon" (Thomasl, or trilling
''Wdthin Mile of Edinboro Town" she
won the enthusiastically approving hand.
During her rather brief career in operat-
ic roles. the praises of Madame Scotney
have been sung often but none too oft
en-. She sang last night in five num-
bers, the last one being "Nymphes ct
Sylvains" tBemberg), with violin and
cello obligato.
Other honors were quite evenly di
Fldeu between Jne assisting arIsls' MI
White was heard to splendid advantage
in "She Alone Charmeth My Sadness"
from Queen Of Sheba" (Gounodl, The
Two Grenadiers" (Schumannl, Mother
o. Mine" Tours, and others. He has
a bass voice of striking volume and
sweetly toned. Seldom is it given a
Barre audience to hear such praise
worthy violin renderings as were those
OF Mr.. Barleben He has the earmarks
of master and a goodly share of the
praise went to him. Mr.. Barleben rem
dered Gypsy Melodies from Sarasade and
selections from Ries. Mr.. Waller pos.
sessed exceptional ability as an accom-
panist and he should have been heard |
as soloist frequently during the pro-
gram.
