Sound Musical Feeling

Rudolph Reuter-, a new pianist Of
evident talent, made his New York
debut yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. He proved to be an artist decid-
eddy above the average, and ne deserved
larger audience than the one which
attended. He is not as yet a pianist
of any great sweep or power, but his
playing possesses charm. taste, color
and sound musical feeling. He gave
the Brahms Paganini Variation effec

intermezzos and the Chopin group with

WHITEHILL AS W0TAN
APPEARS AT METROPOLITAN
Singer Effectively Presents Role from
Die WaIkiire"

Clarence Whitehill made his first ap-
pearance this season with The Metro
politan Opera Company as Wotan in Die
Walkure" last night. II is TO be hoped
that he will appear often in the future.
The Metropolitan possesses IN him an
artist Of high order. His Wotan is by
all odds the most effective embodiment
the character has received IN recent
years, at least in New York. 1t is an i'm
personation Of rare dignity, force and
pathos. Moreover, Mr.. Whitehill be
ieves that Wagner should be sung, not
barked. Many of the German members
of the company could learn much from
him Of the art OF song, much even OF
the art OF Wagner.
The Siegmund was MN. Sembach;
the Brunnhilde, Nine Gsdski; the Sieg-
linde. Nine. Kurt: the Fricka, Nine.
Matzenauer; the Hunding, Mr.. Rugs

Quoted with yigor Outside OF Mr..
Whitehill and Vine. Matzenauer, the
performance lacked any particular dis
tinction.

Bay State Commission to Develop Ports
as Coordinate Undertaking

Boston. Feb. 23.-The newly created
Commission on Waterways and Public
Lands announced to-day that Massa-
chusetts harbors and waterways will be
developed as coordinate undertaking,
so that they will be of greater service
to the people. and over which no one
community will have control.
The commission says that Boston
Harbor is the great central shipping
point of all New England. Il adds:
''But il is undoubtedly true that Bos-
ton Harbor alone cannot be Of as great
service TO the entire state and New
England as can Boston Harbor in con
nection with service to be rendered by
other harbors, like New Bedford. Fall
River. Lynn, Gloucester and Salem,
which. if developed and improved prop
erly. will have very close relations with

BILL TO LIMIT APPEALS
APPROVED BY STATE BAR
Would Relieve Congestion in Highest
Court, Association Members Are Told

bill to be introduced into the State
Senate designed to limit the right Of
appeal to the Court Of Appeals was in
dorsed at a special meeting Of the New
York State Bar Association yesterday,
at ~ West Forty-fourth Street, By a
vote of "a to 10.
Much opposition TO the proposed
measure developed at the meeting,
which was presided over by Charles h.
Hughes, president OF the association,
and there was spirited discussion.
The proposed law provides that APP
peal ny right shall be limited to de-
cisiors by the Appellate Division which
finally determine actions, or special
proceedings which involve directly a
construction of the constitution OF the
state or United States, or where one or
more Of the Appellate Division justices
dissent from the majority findings. or
where the judgment or order IS one OF
reversal or modification.
Those who spoke in favor of the bill,
including Judge Benjamin n. Cardozo,
of the Court of Appeals, asserted it
would relieve the congestion of the
calendar Of the Court of Appeals.
Others said it would meet with such
powerful opposition at Albany that the
State Bar Association would be brought
into disrepute.
Ex-Judge A. T. Clearwater, Of Kings
ton, was chairman of the committee
which drafted the measure, and Mr..
Hughes was a member ex oficio. Others
on the committee were John NJ. Bowers,
George L. Ingraham. Morgan J. 0'Brien,

RENO DIVORCE, PAID FOR,
AND REGRETTED, UPHELD
Second Husband Fails to Get Freedom
When First Reappears

Joseph Kaufman, a manufacturer,
learned from the Appellate Division
yesterday that Mrs. Angela c. Kauf-
man is legally his wife. He mar
ried her in 1918, after he had paid
the expenses of her Reno divorce from
John David Buckley, an actor. The
court yesterday upheld the validity Of
the Nevada decree.
Kaufman sued for sn annulment on
the ground that bis wife knew that
Buckley was not dead, as she had told
him, and that the Reno divorce was
fraudulent.
ct would be unconscionable,' said
the Appellate Division, "to allow the
plaintiff, after thus inducing the de-
PENDANT TO obtain a divorce and marry
him and after living with her such time
as pleased him, to have the marriage
annulled and be released by judicial
decree from all responsibility there
under on the ground that the divorce
was invalid"
Mrs. Kaufman was married to Buck
ley in 1902. A year later he vanished.

RICH STRIKE MADE
IN COMSTOCK MINE
SIXTY DOLLAR ORE EXPOSED
AT GREAT DEPTH IN
DRIFT

One of the most important strikes
that have been made in the mines
of the famous Comstock occurred
yesterday and there is every indica-
ton that the grand old camp is
again to know days of prosperity
and plenty. The entire face of the
drift on the 2700 level of the Con.
the ton, and quotations On the
stock board have jumped to 10.
This was learned in Carson City
afternoon, but the width of
the ore body was not known. The
strike was made while drifting south
on the east vein in the California
ground, a distance of 26 feet from
the Comstock vein.
What the hidden wealth is of this
world-famed mine only future de-
velopment will disclose, but the peo-
pie of the Comstock are happier TO-
than they have been in the many
long years they have waited for the
wealth they were sure would some
day be revealed.
During the past two weeks there
have come reports of splendid ore
on the Con. Virginia and Mexican
mines. The first was that the val
ues on the Con. Virginia were from
IS to 81, then the next day still
better and so on each day until a
few days ago it was reported that
the assays showed $40 values and
yesterday they had jumped to $50.
The richness is expected to increase
as the drift Is continued to the
contact and then what wealth will
be uncovered the future alone will
reveai.-Carson News.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT
IS NOW ON TRIAL
JURY Is SECURED IN ACTION
ARISING FROM
ARREST

The 10000 damage suit of l.. G..
Burton, a Salt Lake mining man,
against r. H. Wanger, lessee of the
Goldfield hotel, is on trial today in
the district court before Judge
Walsh. Attorneys fees in the
amount of 500, and 1855 claimed for
money expended at the time of the
arrest, are also asked by Burton.
On complaint of Wanger, on Aug
ust 80, 1916, Burton was arrested
in Tonopah on a warrant charging
him with defrauding the Goldfield
hotel through non-payment of a bill.
Burton was returned to Goldfeld
and in proceedings in the district
court was released. The damages in
the suit now on trial are asked for
false Imprisonment.
A jury to try the case was secured
at noon and the taking of testimony
started at 2 o'clock.
The jury consists of G. l.. Diffen-

Ter, both then without experience
in mining. They discovered some
small fragments of ore that had
been thrown out by some burrowing
animal. At that place the leasers
commenced work and soon disclos-
ed a deposit of large dimensions, the
limit of which is not yet exposed.
From a vertical shaft, from which
two levels have been run, equipped
with a 12-horsepower gasoline hoist
they are now taking out sufficient
quantities of ore running from 6
per cent to 10 per cent to keep
four trucks and two ten-horse teams
busy hauling it to the station for
transportation to the reduction
works.
With Lappat and Miller is asso-
ciated E. w. King, for many years
manager of the Coalition and Queen
later known as the Rawhide New
Mines properties. Mr.. King is in
active management of operations.

pl OPCl y IhO ulipo bAIChSlOh CODu-
pany of Goldfield is working about
twenty men. Besides there are tour
other sets of leasers developing
and working the property.
Ed Lappat is now reaping the
long deferred, but well earned re-
ward for his toll and courage. The
genial smile that never faded dur
ing the most bitter delays and hours
of encouragement that would cause
even a brave man to falter, is yet
visible as he now travels and only
attends to drawing of his royalties,
and as in other matters is not wor-
rying about royalties. With the
same patience that made him cheer
full when chasing his burros, he
now mends the tires of his auto
when they blow out, however, hot
or cold it may be, and with equal
cheer overcomes the temper in
which many indulge when studying
the intricacies of defective trans
mission or the weird mysteries of
carbonized spark plug or leaky car
buretter.
