TENOR CHARMS
AUDIENCE HERE
HipoEto Lazaro Sings al
Opening Of Artists Course
of Concerts.

Hipolito Lazaro is his name but
he seems destined to be called Lazaro
the Great.
He comes from Spain. but 1t seems
written that he is to belong to Amer
lea.
His voice is tenor and 1t probably
will be called one of the greatest
ever beard on this continent.
Lazaro sang at the opening of the
Artists Course of Concerts at the
New National Theater under the man
agement of Mrs Wilson Greene yes
terday, and revealed to Washington
why he has created sensation with
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Com
pany.
He has a charm that is singularly
captivating and wins his audience
with his personality while he charms
with his voice. With hands in pock-
cts or clasped tightly in front of his
chest, he stands tnartially erect, with
shoulders well back. and seems to
put his whole self into his song,
possessing the rare ability of sing
ing to you rather than singing at you.
His breath control amazes and his
opulence of tone, strong dramatic in
depreciation and rare human quality
combine in producing beautiful ar
tistry.
Lazaro was cxtravssant in his re-
sponse TO encores, and these extra
numbers. added to an already abun-
dant program. developed a concert
OF extraordinary enjoyment. The
tenor was aided by Alberto Bimboni
at the piano. and gave these as the
chief numbers OF the afternoon: 80
Paradise" from LAfracaine (MeS-
erbeer); che gelida mamma" from
I.O Boheme fPuccipD, and "Sptrito
Gentil," from La Favorita (Doni-
zettD. He sang Ronald's Love, 1
Have Won You" in English.
Mr.. Bimboni won much applause
with these numbers Elegie, by G.
a. Randegger; Prelude in G Minor,
by S. Rachmaninoff; Study in Z Ma
jor. by Martucci, and one of his
own compositions, Spring Song"

SENATEIRAT
AT CENSORSHIP
Object to Creel's Blue-Pen-
cling News from Peace
Table.

A cable dispatch from Paris. TO the
effect that all press dispatches on the
coming peace conference are to be
passed upon by George Creel before
they are allowed to 90 over the cables.
aroused members Of the Senate TO
bitter resentment yesterday.
Several of the Senators who partici-
pated in the debate declared that the
Information justified the warnings they
expressed at the time the cables were
taken over, namely, that the purpose
of the cable seizure was to institute
a form of censorship over all the hap
penings Of the peace conference.
Senator johnson read the newspa-
per dispatch 20 the Senate in which II
was stated that Creers function would
be to pass upon the news and ration
it to the cables. The Senator pro-
tested vigorously against this sort Of
system, and invited other Senators TO
Join him in a formal protest against
q "Creel rationed news from Paris
or any censored information that shall
come from the peace conference"
Before reading the dispatch, sena-
tor Johnson said:
I'VE have heard very much about
the mode OF communication between
Paris and this country OF the peace
conference proceedings, and we have
been told that there is no restriction
on the news which would come to US
respecting that proceeding. ] am very
glad indeed that we have been told
this. and ! take II to be a fact. But
In order that the Senate may be in
formed, for perhaps some have not
read this particular dispatch, wish
to read what appeared in a newspa
per this morning on the subject"
Il am not concerned about the legal
aspects Of the Presidents trip" Sen.
ator Johnson continued after reading
the dispatch: the President deter,
mined TO take it and we must make
the best Of his determination But ]
am concerned with what may come
TO America Of the proceedings Of the
peace conference, and am concerned
whether the news that comes to US
shall be rationed and censored.
Senator Watson, OF Indiana, Joined
In the protest.
i want TO warn the American peo.
pie" Senator Watson said. that II
George Creel is TO censor the words
sent here and IL nothing is to be put
on the wire except the things OF which
he approves they should make great
| allowances as TO the truthfulness and
authenticity"
Senator Walsh. Of Montana, suE
gested that on account OF the crowded
condition Of the cables II might b'
! necessary to ration the news so tha
all the press representatives could
get a chance
Il am not complaining so much
about the system Of rationing as
am about the man who is to do the
rationing." retorted Senator Watson.

gratulatiOns when the news of his
selection by President Wilson reach
ed the Capitol. He was greeted
with an ovation when he entered the
House to answer to his name on
rOll-CalI. The entire membership or

several minutes. disregarding the
rules which prohibit any Interrupt

bearing on the duties of the SeCre-
tary of the Treasury. He has had
charge on the floor Of the House of
the Federal Reserve Act, which cre-
ated the Federal Reserve Board and
reorganized the national banking
system.
When n fight developed over the
Federal Reserve Act in the Demo-
cratic caucus. Mr.. Glass was the out
standing figure in tie heated debate.
His vigorous opponent was former
Representative Robert Henry. of
Texas, author of the resolution pro-
viding for the money trust" inves-
tigation in 1913. Mr.. Henry assailed
the proposed measure as favorable
to the money trust" Mr.. Glass put
the bill through.

Unions Favor Paying
Ousted War Workers

A bill providing that the government
shall pay men thrown out of employ
ment through cancellation of govern
ment contracts with industrial plants
while the men are without other en-
ployment is to be introduced in Con-
gress and pressed by the American
Federation of Labor.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
federation. said yesterday that such a
bill is being prepared and will be adj
vocated by organized labor.
Labor leaders argue that while such
a policy would probably require large
sums, it would be better for the Coun-
try thus to allay i'll feeling and Bit
terness upon the part of workers sud
denly thrown out of work by action
of the government than to permit a
feeling that injustice>had been done.

continued there would be no question
