VOLUNTEER PLAYER
AIDS GREAT TENOR
John Mccormack Assisted at Tn:
yelling of Robert Emmett Statue.

The inability Of an accompanist to
play The Star spangled Banner In
the key Of d fat by memory almost
deprived the President Of the United
States and many other distinguished
persons at the unwilling Of the statue
Of Robert Emmett yesterday. from
hearing John Mccormack, the Irish
tenor, sing Americas national air.
When Senator James d. Phelan. of
California, the chairman, called for
volunteers, Miss Alice Burbage stepp-
cd forward and the great tenor sang
the words OF the old song with a
fervOr and an enthusiasm which sent
a thrill through the audience and
brought a deafening thunder of APP
plause at its close.
The unveiling exercises were held
at tie New National Museum. Presi-
dent and Mrs. " ilson were seated
upon the platform, with the sculptor,
Jerome Connor, Judge Victor J. Dow
ling. and other prominent people. The
President did not speak.
Mr.. Mccormack had sung 20,
Breathe Not His Name" and She Is
Far From the Land" when the audi
ence, enthusiastic and music hungry,
demanded yet another song. The Star
Spangled Banner" was expected, as It
had been announced as part OF the
program
1T was 4 very easy thing to dc"
said Miss Burbage later. Mr.. Droop
simply didn't happen TO have the mu-
sic with him, 30 1 offered to play. I
was very glad to do IT,"
Hundreds anxious to attend the un-
yelling of the statue of Ireland s
great hero. were turned away because
of the strict precautions taken by
the police and the committee in charge
to guard the President and Mrs Will
son from embarrassment.
While the exercises were IN progress
the President and the entire audience
were ignorant OF the commotion going
on outside due to the attempts OF suf-
fragists to enter the building and dis
play their banners. Scores OF police
men and secret service men guard
ed the entrances and allowed no one
TO enter without pass or other identi-
fication.
Michael F. Doyle, of Philadelphia,
acting as temporary chairman, called
attention to the fact that the statue
of Robert Emmett unveiled at the
exercises Is the first likeness Of the
national hero OF the Emerald Isles
ever made.
Mr.. Doyle introduced Senator Phe-
Ian. the permanent chairman. who
paid eloquent tribute TO the work and
influence Of Emmett. Judge Victor

There are twenty-five kinds of
mormorants. all bearing a close re-
semblance TO each other. They
have heavy bodies. long necks and
short, stout legs. The young birds
are covered with black down. When
they are large enough TO leave the
nests they climb about the branches
OF the trees In doing this they
often lose their balance. But in
stead of falling into the water as
one might expect. the hook on their
long bills invariably catches on the
perch, and by dint OF much scratch
ing they are able to regain their
former position. In some parts of
the South the popular name for the
cormorant is 'Nigger Goose"
The Chinese have been clever
enough to tame and teach the COR
morant to be useful. The birds are
taken to a river or lake. a strap
is placed about their necks. and
they are liberated. Once in the
water, they dive in quest of FISH.
