LOCAL 8-HOUR Law
Commissioners Say Proposed Measure

The Commissioners sent to the House
District Committee yesterday an unfa'

chanics and laborers In continuous
working plants of the United States and

.DAMROSCH GIVES LAST
CONCERT OF THE Year,
Symphony Society of New York Plays
at Belasco Before President
Wilson and Bride.

A distinguished audience. which in
cluded the President and Mrs. Wilson,
greeted Walter Damrosch. the COM
poser-conductor. yesterday afternoon
at the Belasoo Theater, when the
symphony Society. of New York. gave
its last concert Of the season in this
city.
Mr.. Damrosch presented excerpts
from his own composition. "Iphigenia
in Aulis." with splendid effect. and
received unstinted applause as recog-
milton of his genius The four move
ments of the work were a series
of lovely tone pictures in dramatic
form and abounded in melodious
themes and rich harmonies descrip-
tive of the scenes OF the Greek drama
Of the same name.
The movement entitled 'TMelodram"
was SO enthusiastically received that
Mr.. Damrosch said he felt EN-
boldened to give another little melo-
dram from the same composition"
which was given. proving as charming
as the first. The vioiincello solo at
the close of the number was played
by lacquer Renard, with a depth of
feeling and breadth of tone that was
most effective.
Miss F'rieda Hembel was the soloist OF
the afternoon and sang for her first
number the Aria from Ernani." Miss
Hempel has light soprano of indescrib-
able sweetness and beauty. and sings
with the greatest of ease the most diff
cult fiorid passages. while her trills are
of remarkable tone quality and marvel
ously shaded. Tumultuous applause and
flowers were offerings of admira ton to
the songstress, while after her wonderful
Interpretation of the "Slumber Song" by
Meyerbeer. and "Serenade" of Strauss
she very graciously sang an encore, an
arrangement of the blue Danube" waltz
for voice and orchestra, which only a
most finished coloratura artist would I'M
dertake
Miss Hempers gown excited much
favorable comment among the feminine
portion of the audience. being an up-to-
date creation of pale blue tulle and satin
with panniers and hoopskirts.
The first mum Der on the program was
Schumann's Symphony in d minor in
four movements, usually played without
pause, but stops were made after the
allegro and the romanza by Mr. Dam
rosch, which gave the effect of an inter-
mezzo to the lovely romanza with its
exquisite melody, played by the oboes
and 'cellos with pizzicato accompaniment
by the violins. A lovely song by the
ment, which is the most pleasing of the
symphony.
Mr.. Damrosch gave a scholarly reading
Of the last number, the symphonic poem,
OTTAWA" by Smetana. This work Is
reminiscent of some of LISTS symphonic
compositions and teens with Bohemian
folklore melodies. Mr.. Damrosch was re-
called and heartily applauded by his
many admirers in the audience, who
recognize not only his work as a COM
poser and conductor. but also his tireless
efforts in behalf of music in this country
and the help and encouragement he has
always given to American composers.

This contest may be won by the cap

Wolf of Wall Street" Asks Leave of
Supreme Court to File Motion for
Mandamus Against Federal Judges.

David Lamar appeared before the Su-

delay the prison sentence that has been
imposed upon him under the conviction
for violation of Federal statute by i'm
personating a Federal officer in an at

Lamar's latest move was to appeal to
the Supreme Court through his attorney,
A. Leo Everett, of New York, for leave
to file a motion for a writ of mandamus
directed to the three Federal judges who
sat in his case below in the southern
district of New York, requiring them to
reinstate his writ of error which had
been dismissed in that court upon the
motion of the government that "a prior
and inconsistent writ of error was pend

Lamar seeks the writ of mandamus are

HOROSCOPE.

The stars incline, but do not compel"
Tuesday, February 20, 1915.
After the morning hours this is read
as lucky day. Although Saturn and
Venus are In evil place early, their sin
lister sway Is overcome by the benefc
aspect Of Mars, the Sun and Uranus
1t Is a favorable rule for seeking posi-
lions or cooperation in large enterprises,
unless the aid of women is desired.
This day is read as unfortunate for
women, especially those who are old The
seers prophesy much need on the part of
the aged who have once possessed af-
tluence.
The sway Is not suspicious for specu-
lation, especially are mining stocks to be
avoided today.
Under this planetary government, what
ever has to do with war or prepared
ness should benefit. Since the Sun prom
ises aid 1t Is held that Congress and men
of wealth will be helpful
Uranus continues to remind astrolox-
ers that faith in occult forces will spread
most rapidly and that many extraordi-
nary psychic phenomena will be reported.
Some financial or diplomatic complica-
ton with England Is probable, IL the
stars are read Alright.
The death Of a man OF prominence will
start rumors of murder next month, 1t
Is prophesied.
Libel cases especially those in which
authors or editors are defendants, will
multiply. It Is predicted.
There Is a sign presaging many changes
In the amusement world. Motion pictures
are subject to influences making for re-
trenchments In productions and marked
changes in standards OF work
Increased mortality among children is
to be expected In the spring.
Many artists, among them famous men
and women of the literary world, will die
within the next six months, it is said
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have the
! augury of an eventful year with numer-
| GUS ups and downs. There is the pos

forecast Of success in financial affairs,
