The lobby, he said, represent
ed the trusts of the country, and
was headed by the heirs of Jay

produced when he pointed to the
gallery and declared that one of
the lobbyists was there hiding
behind his hat. A man with his
hat partially covering his face
beat a hasty retreat to the CORR
dor outside the house chamber.
Mr.. Aswell made the closing
speech on the bill. He followed
Representative Fordney, of Mich

of Wisconsin, who favored it.
When Aswell had concluded he
was surrounded and congratulate

carriers during the civil war. On
the previous day he had made an
argument in the house for Red

Joy of Youth CiUes
Charm to Playing
OF Miss Harrison

Beatrice Harrison, charming
young English girl. who knows how
to play the cello extremely well,
was the soloist of the sixth concert
of the Detroit Symphony orchestra,
Friday afternoon, in the Detroit
opera house.
Miss Harrison played Dvorak's
Concerto In b minor for cello, with
orchestral accompaniment. She was
handicapped somewhat in being
seated in the midst OF the strins
players, instead of to the front oi
them, so that. at times. her sole
work vas entirely submerged In the
ensemble. She plays with surety
technical facility and clearness, and
a youthful exuberance that makes
her work unusually attractive. The
audience liked Miss Harrison very
much, and gave her enthusiastic ap.
plause while friends showered her
with flowers.
The orchestra's numbers were
Haydn's symphony in G mapor. an
intermezzo for strings, "Goldoniani,' -
by Bossi, and the overture to lie
Baruffe Chiozzote," by Sinigaglia.
These numbers were well played,
the symphony receiving an admira-
BILE reading from Conductor Gales,
and excellent Interpretation by the
players. The Bossi intermezzo is a
charming composition. the sort Of
thing an audience likes to hear over
and over again. The Sinigaglia
