Senate Refuses Proposal to
Extend Time of Trans
hitting Bills.
HOUSE SHOULD WORRY
General Opinion Is That Rule
Will Have to Be Broken
Before Long.

eielcna. Feb. 20.--(Staff Correspond
ence.) -Calmly ignoring the fact that
the senate refused to consider the an
pointment OF a joint committee to con-
fer with regard to means whereby
consideration Of pending legislation
might be secured the house proceeded
today to take up bills on general or.
ders and refused to give consideration
TO any OF the senate measures trans
mitted to the house.
Representative Eliel, Reaverhead.
moved this morning that the speaker
be given authority to appoint con-
Terence committee of three to meet
with like committee from the senate
for the purpose of considering action
on pending measures. The motion
carried. but when transmitted to the
senate II failed to receive any atten-
ton whatever. the upper house de-
claring that ii intended to remain firm
in its attitude not to abresate the rule
which prohibits transmission Of any
niils except revenue or appropriation
measures after the fiftieth day.
The news came back to the house.
hut caused not a ripple of excitement.
kemmis Richland. moved that the
senate bills now in the house, revenue
and appropriation measures, be placed
first on general orders. but his motion
lost by large majority. and distinctly
unpcrturbed the house went ahead
with discussion of house bills after
passing motion that no senate bills
should be considered at present.
The house members say that the
senate will have to back up on its at
titude and that the rule must be bro
ken. The senate states with SEEM
insly as much determination that rev.
enue and appropriation bills are tho
only ones that the house need bother
about sending over for it's considera-
ton. The general opinion of the "out-
siders' is that the rule will have to be
broken as deadlock of any duration
at this time would mean a prolonged
session. 1t is thought that tomorrow
will bring solution of the problem
as the general sentiment all over the
state would be strongly against any
body which would hold up the BUSH
ness of the assembly and make it nee
essary to prolong the session.

MAY NOT CALL SENATE
AT TERMS BEGINNING

Washington, Feb. 20.--Prcsident Will
son Is considering breaking another
precedent Of more than 100 years
standing by not calling the customary
special session of the senate imme-
diatcly at the beginning of his new
term.
inauguration arrangements, already
much upset by the fact that March 4
falls on a Sunday. may be further
disarranged by the abandonment of the
special session, which in a measure
would change entirely the methods and
ceremonies of inaugurating the vice
president.
The presidents purpose as under
stood at the capital Is to avoid a
special session of the senate, unless an
extraordinary session of congress is
necessary.

Snoring.

Lots of people who have taken up
snoring in serious way find that
they have more to do at night than
they have through the day. If one
were required to snore steadily all
day long, at his work and over his
lunch, he would consider it a hard
ship. A finished snorer will snore all
night, however, at the top of his voice
and think nothing of it. Many man
making his weary way home after a
hard days work looks like he didn't
have Il good snore in him. but after
getting away to a fair start that night
he can put more vigor into 4 few bars
Of snoring than into anything he did
all day. Some people snore in a rather
apologize way as though they didn't
WISH to intrudc. Others Snorc right
out and bully and broWbeat anyone
who hears. People who snore are
healthy or Mt least they can sleep un-
der trying circumstances. It's hard to
see how they get n wink with all the
din ana uproar. But they do and the
next night they examine their noses,
try a few varied strains and set in to
make another night hidcous.

Many of the facts in this book are
the discoveries of DR.. Miller. and are
the result Of many years thought and
experience.
"Vocal Art Science" aims to simpli-
fly the entire voice question, protect
legitimate teachers and eliminate
charlatans, and through the applica-
ton of its principles to supplant much
of the guesswork prevalent by aecur-

interesting to singers are The Vocal

Breath and Vocal Discipline"
Muscle Control of the Voice" "Vo-

Musical journals OF the week an
nounce that Theodore Presser has
created philanthropic foundation of
a musical charity of great future i'm
portance. Theodore Presser is the
founder and editor of the Etude,
musical magazine widely known, and
also the head of large music pub
fishing business. As his life for the
most part has been spent in music,
he now proposes to leave practically
all of his fortune to the foundation OF
a project which is really unlimited in
its scope. One branch of the founda-
ton has been in operation many
yeats, and is home at German
town, Pa, for retired music teachers. II
represents an investment of 100000
and accommodates thirty-one resi-
dents of both sexes, although room
for as many more is available. Mean
while, Mr.. Presser has often assisted
needy music teachers and distributed
scholarships to worthy and struggling
students. He has recently embraced
his philanthropic purposes'in a central
body, and some time ago deposited
a sum of money close to million
dollars with trust company to at
tend to the immediate needs of the
organization, which fund he intends
to increase largely from time to time
in the future. There is a board Of
trustees of well-known Philadelphians.
The scholarship department, and de-
partment OF relief for worthy mu.-
sicians are already doing great deal
of good, and various other depart
ments of possible philanthropies are
discussed for the future.
Vocal Art Science" by Frank E.
Miller, A.M.M.D., recently published
by G. Schirmer, promises to be of
great importance to singers and sing
ing students. DR.. Miller is an emf
nent American throat specialist, and
also trained vocalist, and in the
course of a professional career has
made study of over $4,000 speaking
and singing voices. His present work
is comprehensive study of the voice,
to quote from the foreward by Gustav
Kobbe, "a scientific treatise on the
art of song; work in which for the
first time it is believed the science
and the art of vocal utterance are
separately developed and then shown
in their combined effect upon voice."

. MUSICI1 !
By HENRIETTA M. REES.

I =
M with its consequent up
lin heaval OF customary condi-
@ tons in all walks of life, and
s. negative influence upon mu-
sic and other arts, let US
hope that none of the petty and ig-
norant determinations made in some
other countries in regard TO music
will be found in the different iocali-
ties Of our own.
In some places in the allied coun-
tries all music by German composers
was tabooed in public performance,
irrespective of its value as an art and
its intrinsic merit. Yet great many
of the great musicians who happened
to be born in Germany, both in the
past and present, wrote and are writ
ing not German music, but interna-
tional music. We would not hest
tate to use the invention OF a Ger
man in warfare, if it was a good one
and helped to prepare us against
physical enemy. Much of the fine
music In the world thrills US, and
lifts our thoughts to higher planes,
and prepares US in its way against
other enemies, and the nationality Of
the composer has nothing to do
with it.
There never yet was composer of
any nationality who was not a demo-
crat. He cannot help but he, for in or
fer to be a great composer he has had
to develop his own individuality, and
think for himself and have freedom
OF expression. Beethoven was one of
the greatest democrats in all the
world, and history is full of instances
OF other composers who did not get
along well when under the guidance
or tyranny of anybody else. Wagner
and Strauss, had their destinies run
to civic instead of musical affairs,
would have been revolutionists or re-
formers, and perhaps exiled or i'm
prisoned for life long before their
careers had been rounded out. Fortu-
nately innovations in musical laws
are not accompanied with imprison-
ment or bloodshed. 1t is our duty
as loyal Americans to do whatever
we can to advance and promote the
welfare Of our country. Depriving
ourselves of hearing and performing
some of the greatest art works Of
the world, however, is not fulfilling it.
Music should be judged by musical
standards and not by civic ones, and
no matter who the composer may
be, IT 1t is good music and we find
value in it, it belongs to US for that
reason.
An interesting incident in this con-
nection is the attitude of a Boston
audience toward Dr.. Muck, its SYM
phony conductor. DR.. Muck is a
German, but has lived in Boston for
seven years as conductor of the or
chestra, and endeared himself to
them as both man and musician.
When he first came to the conductors
stand last week he was greeted with
the applause usually reserved for the
first and last concerts Of the season,
and which seemed spontaneous and
genuine token of personal regard at
time when his government is entering
upon war with our own government.
Commenting upon it, H. T. Parker
says: "As yet by many sign OF the
theater and concert hall, the Boston
public, like. that Of New York and
Chicago, differentiates the preoecupa-
tons of warfare from the pleasures
Of the arts, and the personal qualities
Of an artist from the policies Of the
state into which he happened to be
born" 1t is to be hoped that it will
