SUFFRAGE TALK
TO FILL CAPITOL
Both Sides TO Hold Rival
Meetings in the State
House Tonight.

II the legislators at Albany do not
wake up tomorrow morning with their
minds fully made up on the question
Of woman suffrage, it will be because
they haven taken advantage of the
opportunities tonight. The suffragists
will >hold meeting in the Senate
Chamber; the anti-sufragists one in
the Assembly Chamber. Without leav-
ing the Capitol, therefore, the Senators
and Assemblymen can hear all about
how this country can be (saved)
(rulned) by the success OF the votes
for women measure at the polls next
fall.
The suffrage meeting is a jubilee
over the passage OF the bill through
the two branches of the Legislature,
last Wednesday and Thursday. The
anti-suffrage meeting is the regular
one the ants have in Albany once
every year. But Mrs. Arthur Dodge
said last night that the ants had just
as much cause to jubilate as the suf-
fragists had, for they were quite as
anxious to have the question submitted
to the voters as the sutfragists were.
at is what we have wanted for
years." she said. THE voters will de-
feat it, of course, and then we shall
have peace. 1t is a strange coincidence
that the two meetings should come the
same night"
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch, Mrs.
John Winters Brannan, Mrs. Tiffany
Dyer, Miss Ethel Peyser, Mrs. Lewis
Delafield, Mrs. Emanuel Einstein, Mrs
Beatrice Forbes-R Robertson Hale and
Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain are
among the women who will go from
New York to-day. Mrs. Hale will be
one of the speakers, and Mrs. Boisse-
vain is TO answer questions. Senator
Slater, of Westchester, good sutfra-
gist. will preside over the suffrage
meeting. 1t is hoped that Lieutenant
Governor Schoeneck, through whose
courtesy the Women'S Political Union
secured the Assembly Chamber, will
open the meeting and turn 1t over to
Senator Slater.
Among those who will speak at the
anti meeting are Miss Alice Chitten-
den. president of the New York State
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage; Miss Lucy Price and former As
semblymsn Matthews.
Many women arc expected by both
factions from Troy. Syracuse and other
nearby towns. The Woman Suffrage
League, of Albany. and the Albany
Anti-Sutfragc Auxiliary are active IN
the arrangements for the twin AFFAIRS.

PORCELAINS SOLD,
SAYS J. P. MORGAN
Banker Makes Announce
ment to Undo Conflict
ing Reports.
PRICE PAID SAID TO
BE ALMOST S4,000,000
Duveens Deny Report That Col
lection Was Bought for
J. d. Rockefeller, Jr.

To set at rest conflicting reports
J. p. Morgan announced yesterday that
he has sold 10 the Duveen Brothers, OF
this city, the collection Of Chinese por-
cclains formed by his father and lent
to the Metropolitan Museum OF Art.
where it has been on exhibition in the
South Room.
Numbering some / 900 pieces, and
valued at 100000, it is regarded by
the experts as the most important and
comprehensive collection IN existence.
Ii is understood that Mr. Morgan re-
ceiyed sum very close TO its estl-
mated value.
Joseph Duveen, OF the firm of Duveen
Brothers, yesterday said: 1--WE are
proud to have the collection back in
our hands. We have owned it twice
before. II is unquestionably the great
est collection Of Chinese porcelains in
the world. 1t will be placed on exhibit
ton in our galleries in about three
weeks, and as there IL always a demand
for great works Of art the dispersal
of the collection will not be affected
by the war"
Both Henry and Joseph Duveen de-
MED the report that they had pur-
chased the collection for John d.
Rockefeller, jr., or any other person,
or that any syndicate was interested
in its purchase. The next greatest
collection, the Duveens say, in point
Of beauty and value, is the Altman col
lection, which is also on exhibition at
the Metropolitan Museum.
Through the generosity OF the late
J. Pierpont Morgan thousands of art
lovers have been able to study this re-
markable collection az displayed in the
South Room of the museum. Now that
the pieces are to be sold the oppor-
tunity TO see the collection, except for
a brief period at the Duveen galleries,
will be gone.
The present Morgan loan collection
OF Chinese porcelains was commenced
about thirty-tive years ago, by the late
James Garland, a connoisseur OF
Chinese ceramics of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. The collec-
ton became so large in 1893 that he
lent it TO the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art. Henry Duveen personally OBJ
tanned many of the remarkable porce-
ldlUS lIOW TsuEllHH anu j ltISu NOiI'N-
tlonS.
After Mr.. Garland's death the collec-
tion was purchased en- bloc by the On
yeen Brothers. Soon after they sold
it TO the late J. p. Morgan. The col
lection doubled in number shortly at
terward when Mr.. Morgan acquired the
Marsden J. Perry collection.
Referring TO some of the most val
liable pieces in the collection, Henry
Duveen said yesterday that the "Black
Hawthorns" were especially fine, the
famous hawthorn vase being said tc
be worth S125,000.
Mr. Duyeen also spoke of the rose

among the finest products of the CHEN

WOUld.
The Marquis Of Londonderry was
one OF the great noblemen OF the
United Kingdom. The fifty thousand
acres to which he held title in six coun-
ties Of England and Ireland made HIM
one of the largest and wealthiest land
holders in the nation. Much Of his in
come was from the collieries around
Durham, and the entire strength of his
riches and position was thrown TO the
Ulster cause. He was a fervent advo-
cate of the doctrine OF mo surrender
10 the Irish Nationalists and their Lib
eral supporters.
A knight Of the Garter and abide
camp to the King, he entered politics
with strong influences behind him and
became Postmaster General in 1900.
Previously he had been a member OF
the House of Lords, and had been vice.
ROY of Ireland from 1886 to 1889.
The marquis, who was the sixth OF
his line. traced his descent from Sir
Piers Tempest, who fought at Agin-
court. He was born in London on July
/ 16, 1852. He received his education at
Elton and Christchurch, Oxford, and
then entered Parliament. He repre-
scented County Down from 1878 TO 1884
when he succeeded to the title and was
appointed Viceroy of Ireland. From
1895 to 1897 he served as chairman Of
the London School Board, and from
1902 to 1905 he was president Of the
Board of Education, being Lord Presi-
dent of the Council from 1903 to 1905,
/ He was married in 1875 to Lady
/ Theresa Susy Helen Chetwynd- Talbot,
eldest daughter of the nineteenth Earl
of Shrewsbury. There are daughter
and a son, Viscount Castlereagh. The
marquis was an honorary colonel OF
the I'd Durham Artillery Volunteers
and of the North Down Rifles. He was
a knight of the Grand Cross Of the
/ Royal Victorian Order and a Privy
/ Councillor.

MISS ELLINGTON PlUCKY
Acts After Operation, Though
She Faints Twice.

Against orders OF her physician, Mar
earet Ellington insisted on appearing at
every performance Of THE Lie" at the
Harris Theatre last week. Wednesday
She was forced to submit 10 minor
operation. and Thursday she tainted
twice in the wings while waiting 70 go
on the stage.
Miss Hlington's accident seemed
slight at the time, but later it appeared
that the rusty nail on which she
stepped while walking TO the stage door
early in the week might cause serious
injury. II penetrated a satin slipper
she was wearing and pierced her foot.
only by the exercise of unusual men
,al poise and will p'wer was the
actress able to get through the'week
without making her suffering apparent
10 her audiences.

NOVELTY IN RECITAL
Nine. Aud Sings Unfamiliar
Songs in Pleasing Way.

Nine. Gertrude Aud, soprano, who
has sung much in opera IN Italy, gave
a song recital yesterday afternoon in
Aeolian Hall. Her programme was an
exceedingly varied one, consisting
chiefly Of French and Russian songs, all
Of which she sang in French.
Her voice is an excellent one, though
at first she was extremely nervous
with the result that her tones were
afflicted with a tremolo. But in Gre
try's PLUS de Dept" Gretchaninov' s
"Quand la hschetombe," and especially
in Poldowski's "Efet de neige." de-
lightfully atmospheric bit in the mod
ern French style, she sang with clear
tone, taste and feeling.
Nine. Aud proved herself all in all.
singer distinctly superior 10 the aver
age run of concert glvers. Her virtues
include a voice Of fine quality and
much feNibility, taste, grace and inter
pretive power; her defects lie in a yet
imperfect method of voice production.
To the weary recorder of musical
happenings her programme was also a
welcome relief. In it she managed to
gather together little-sung songs which
possessed both novelty and beauty
surely no mean achievement Her au-
dience was large and enthusiastic.

SUFFRAGISTS QUILTING
Mrs. D. G. Balch Organizes
Effort to Help Girls.

"Votes for women quilting bees are
the latest contribution to the poverty
problem. Sufragists began yesterday
to make quilts for the needy. Mrs.
u. Clarke Balch, Of the woman suf-
frage party, was reused to action by
the tale of three girls who visited Mrs.
o. II. p. Bemont's soup kitchen, say
ing they had only the bare floor TO
sleep on. as the 25 cents they paid for
an unfurnished room was their total
capital.
Mrs. Balch decided that if these girls
had each a nice plump comfortable 10
wrap around her the bare floor wouldn't
be quite so bare. She sent out an
emergency call to all her suffrage
friends. and they responded yesterday
with bags full of pieces. They were
sewed together yesterday, and to-day
the real quilting party will take place.
Material for about two dozen quilts
has been received.
