Would Free "Insane Man"
Sanatorium Attendant Gets
Writ for F. r. Pemberton

Francis Rawley Pemberton, who is
a director in several corporations and
former partner of William G. McAdoo,
will be brought to New York Saturday
from the Central Valley Sanatorium OF
DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald in response
to a writ of habeas corpus which was
obtained yesterday in the Supreme

forum and asserts his belief in the in
mates sanity.
In his petition Connolly said that he
resigned so that he could be free TO
work for the liberty of Mr.. Pember-
ton. His only information concerning
the patient is that he is about sixty
years old, wealthy and has no relatives
nearer than nephews. He was COM
mitted in July or August, but as no
records Of such commitments are kept
il is impossible to learn the reason. 1t
Is said that he was at dinner in the

Music
Two Mozart Operas Again
Cordially Received at the
Lyceum Theatre

The two little Mozart operas Bias
ten and Bastienne" and "The lmpre-
sario" were repeated at the Lyceum
Theatre last night, though with casts
differing somewhat from the opening
performance.
In the first work Miss Gates replaced
Miss Garrison as Bastienne and Rafael
Diaz Mr.. Reiss as Bastien. Miss Gates
WAS equally charming in appearance,
acting and song, while Mr.. Diaz was
thoroughly acceptable.
But alas, poor Mozart! In "The I'm
presario" George Hsmlin succeeded in
presenting him as a Hoosier very i'll
at ease in knee breeches and wine col
ored coat. However, Mr., Hamlin did
sing some of his music well enough to
be forced to an encore. Miss Florence
Macbeth was another newcomer, and
her Nine. Hofer showed a sense of
comedy, a voice of pure quality and
much skill in coloratura.
The two little operas were again re-
ceived with enthusiasm by an audience
Of excellent proportions.

Probably the death OF no other man in
this city would be felt in such pc
culiarly personal manner.
CHARLES +. HUGHES-No words
that we can utter can express our love
and admiration for Mr.. Choate. lie
was not only the leader OF the Ameri-
can bar. but he was the finest flower OF
American culture. In the truest sense
Of the word he died in the service OF
his country.
ROBERT BACON-The cause of ma
tional preparedness and defence In TINS
country has lost its great leader The
loss is indeed personal one TO all OF US
who have been associated with Mr..
Choate in the National Security
League. He was one of its organizers
and most earnest workers.
Mrs. Choate MIR. Choate's death at
this critical hour in his country's LIE
should serve to bring into bold relief
all the rare, unselfish service OF his
life as an object lesson OF special value
TO all OF us.
FRANK A. VANDERLIP-Mr. Choate
was certainly our grand old man..
For a long lifetime he had been one OF
the nation. Those persons who were
fortunate enough to sit under the spell
Of his voice last week while the inter
national guests were entertained felt
that he had never been more powerful
mentally than he was at that time.
DIR. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
With Mr.. Choate there passes a great
American Of type all too rare in our
hurrying, pushing modern life. His
patriotism was profound, and his ex-
preston of it was always as convincing
as it was attractive.
JAMES A. O'GORMAN-Every law
yer in New York has cause to mourn
the death of Mr.. Choate. For more
than a generation he was the dean
of the bar in New York State. More
over, he endeared himself to the mem
bers of his profession by his charm
ing and delightful personality.
From ARTHUR JAMES BALFOUR-
Am most deeply moved by the tragic
news OF my cid friends death and
greatly fear it was fastened by last
weeks splendid efforts for your coun-
try and mine. Please accept my heart
felt sympathy for you and yours.
SIR CECIL SPRING RICE-Deepest
sympathy in your great sorrow. We
all mourn the loss of our country's
best of friends, and can never forget
his noble words in championing the AL
lied cause.
RENE VIVIANI-In the name OF
Marshal Joffre. Admiral Chocheprat
and the entire French mission, allow
me 70 convey our deep condolences for
the terrible loss you have sustained,
which also strikes France. We bow
in deep regret before your grief.
COMMANDER EVANGELINE BOOTH
of the Salvation Army-Our country
loses one of its foremost citizens,
greatest patriots, brightest intellects
and noblest characters. One thousand
Salvation Army officers assembled in
Philadelphia, representing all the East
ern states. have requested me to con-
vey this message of coincidence to your
self and your family.
GOVERNOR WHITMAN-Please &C
cept my personal and heartfelt sym
patty in the infinite sorrow which has
come to you and the nation which loved
and respected him.

VALE EGERIA,

Yes. she's lost and gone forever.
Like My Darling Clementine"
We have said goodbye" and parted;
She's gone her way; / so mine
I remember when 7 met her.
Something strange in me went pop!
As the weasel goes, but more so.
Boss. l thought my heart would stop.
She was just what I would have her
Read The Tower all the time.
Loved Euphcmia Hemans Simpson.
Liked mine own infrcquent rhyme
Quite the lovelicst lady she, sir
Charmed cup from magic still;
Rare and graceful as that lady
On the hlty-dolar bill.
But the army doctor told me:
Young man, you will not be called
Flat your feet and weak your vision
And, besides, you're getting bald"
Now when heard my fair Egeria
That they would not let me fight,
Made she then a quick decision
And she turned me down that night.
