Fifth Ave. Pauses While Farrar

Man Hears Diva Sing "Star-Spangled Banner for
Him Alone After Promising to Purchase Bond

Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic
in front of the Public Library yester.
day noon, and all the wise personages
who thought to sit on top of bus and
see Geraldine Farrar at the Liberty
Theatre were carried through on Madi-
son Avenue, as mad as wet hens.
Ten cents was just wasted. Nothing
less than $50 was of any use at all.
With $50, however, one could purchase

plication for Liberty Bond, made out
by her own fair hands, and a Liberty

1t was after Miss Farrar had auc-
toned off her signed photographs to
every one in the crowd who had S1OO
that the young man edged his way to
place below the little white platform,
hung with laurel wreaths, where the
stars of the theatrical and musical
world have been giving their services
to the Liberty Loan Committee of the
Stage Women's War Relief Fund.
"lll buy $1,000 bond, if you'll sing
again." said he.
Answer Comes Quickly
"Righto!" said Miss Farrar. "Come
right up"
There was no way to go around, for
the crowd was packed tight around the
little theatre, so Miss Farrar put down
her tiny Pekinese and gave the young
man hand cover the top" The cheers
that rose then from the delighted crowd
brought about ten thousand more peo-
pie on the run, but they couldn't hear
word of what followed
"This man has paid one thousand
dollars to hear me sing" cried Miss
Farrar, turning to the audience, "and
you folks haven't anything to do with
It.. Pm going to sing for him alone"
So she took the young man by the
hand and led him to the piano at the
back of the stage, where she sat down

Circus in Loan Parade

morning New York has not been per-

thirty years.
TO hc sure, the parade was not alto

of the necessary absence of many ami

Untermyer Asks Halt
In Conscripting Incomes
Warns That Interference With
Production May Follow
Further Increase of Taxes

PITTSBURGH, Penn, April 15.-
Conscription of incomes cannot pro-
gress much beyond it's present scope
without interfering too seriously with
production, asserted Samuel Inter
myer, New York lawyer and the gov
ernment's legal expert on the inter-
probation of income and excess profit
tax laws, in an address he delivered
to night in the Liberty Loan campaign,
The income tax, he declared, would
yield far in excess of what had been
anticipated. Mr. Untermyer predicted
that in the United States after the
war considerable share of capital
would have to go through taxation
toward the support of socialstic in
stitutlons that the great body of the
people who do the actual fighting il
this war would demand of the govern
ment
Recalling that for twenty-six wears
he had been a consistent chamnion Of
the income tax at a time when it was
regarded as reproach and a social
Istlc assault upon property rights. Mr.
untermyer said:
by far the most serious objection
to further taxation is its effect upon
enterprise which in these days involves
the investment of large amounts of
capital. When the government takes
away the prospect of profits it de-
stroys the incentive for business risks
"hlcn IS at at the foundation of all in
oustry. The effect of the taxation
upon new enterprises is ALREADY on

dltlons embark in business from
patriotism or sentiment, but for gain ,,

districts are Withholding their pledges
until late in the campaign when they
can determine better what they need
to fill orders of'customers. By banks,
the item of interest on initial payments
also is considered more closely than

factors causing them to hold back their
