Big S uffrage
Political Drive
ToBeLaunched
St. Louis Convention, Which
Opens To-day, ,Forerunner
to Nationwide Fight on
Any Opposition Party

Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS, March 22.-The National
suffrage Convention, which will begin
Its sessions at Hotel Statler Monday
is the forerunner of vigorous politi-
cal campaign to be waged against the
political party refusing to lend it's
full support to the movement to OBJ
tain universal suffrage for women, ac-
cording to DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
suffrage leader and chairman of the
National Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defence, who is
here as delegate.
The suffrage movement" DR.. Shaw
said, "is no longer a propaganda, it is
tons politics and will play an impor-
tant part In the next Presidential
election.
"The convention which is about to
open will undertake to bring to the
support of the suffrage organization
the political influence welded by wom-
en- residing in suffrage states.
1--WE already have twenty-six states
in which suffrage of one sort or an
other has been granted and in all of
them the women are permitted to par
tlclpate in Presidential elections. This
IS sufficient to enable us to control any
election and unless the party at pres
ent in power changes it's attitude
toward freeing the women of America
1t will meet this tremendous obstacle
at their coming election.
"lf we had made use of our political
power earlier, such Senators as Reed,
of Missouri, would not have made their
despicable attacks on suffrage. Sena-
tor Reed, | dare say, would not for an
instant have fiaunted his insulting re-
marks about womankind before the
Senate at Washington if he were COM
PEELED to answer constituency in
which women were represented.
III have no doubt but that the con-
stitutional amendment will pass in the
next Congress and at this convention
it is likely that steps will be taken to
prepare for the necessary campaigning
in the various states to obtain the
necessary two-thirds majority for rati-
fication."
Asked for her views on the league of
nations and Senator Reeds attitude,
DR.. Shaw replied: 81 believe in such a
league, but the present draft is not
desirable, in my estimation. AS to Sen
ator Reeds position, / think it is as
bad as his attitude toward suffrage,
which is unspeakable
Nearly 500 delegates from different
states have arrived and in informal
sessions to-day mapped out plans to
accomplish the points as set forth by
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw.
Tomorrow night reception will be
rendered the members of the National
Executive Board and delegates at the
Hotel Statler.

The trains will be packed into the Mott

At midnight tonight, the aggrega-

initiating the season Of 1919. Then will
begin week of rehearsal, preparatory
to the opening next Saturday afternoon.
Circus agents were still worried yes
terday by the fear that the mammoth
Garden was not big enough for the
circus. Equestrian acts will be given
special prominence this season. The
stars of the combined circuses will
be May Wirth and the Wirth family,
from Australia; the Mcpherson Clan

Plan Big Chorus
Here to Develop
American Ideals
Prominent Men and Women
Working on Organization
to Increase Community
Singing i'll This City

Ever since tine success of community
singing was demonstrated in New York
City, about three years ago, there have
been sporadic attempts to keep alive
the undoubted general interest shown
in the idea. The various attempts have
finally been concentrated on the Peo-
pies Liberty Chorus as the one organ
ization best fitted to appeal to the
largest number of people.
Believing that through music "of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie" it will be possible to unity the
country to a greater extent and more
effectually to carry on real American
ization work, a number of prominent
men and women have planned an or
ganization, on a strictly business basis,
to encourage the development of COM
munity music. They have chosen the
Peoples Liberty Chorus as the medium
to express their ideals, and L. Cam
ilieri, it's director, as the man to "put
across" the entire proposition.
Indeed, the organization feels that it
has a distinct "tind" in Mr.. Camilieri.
He came to this country the first year
of the war with the intention of de-
veloping new field of chorus singing
among the people. He conducted for a
time the New Singing Society, out of
which the Peoples Liberty Chorus was
formed last April to aid the third Lib
erty Loan drive.
Rehearsals in Many Centres
Mr.. Camilieri realized that to re-
cruit singing army it was necessary
to carry on rehearsals where people
were employed, instead of urging them
to come to established centres. Special
rehearsals were held in many of the

HandcuHed to Bed
In Asylum, Runaway
Boy Tells Court
Judge Bleakley, in Yonkers,
After Hearing Story, Asks
District Attorney Davis
to Make an Investigation

YONKERS, March 22.-Fifteen-year-
old Harry Leighton, of Brooklyn, an
inmate of the New York Juvenile Asv-
lum at Echo Hills, Dobbs Ferry, told
Judge William L. Bleakley, in police
court here to-day, that he ran awav
from the asylum last night because of
mlstreatment at the hands of attend
ants there.
The boy told the judge he had been
fogged across the back with a piece
of rubber hose. For several nights.
he said, one end of a handcuff had
been locked on his wrist and the other
end fastened to one of the crossbars
of his bed and he had been compelled
to sleep with one hand suspended over
his head.
Judge Bleaklcy said he would write
a letter to Lee P. Davis, District At
torney of Westchester County, and
ask that an immediate and thorough in
vestigation of Leighton's story be made.
I'm not taking sides in this matter"
explained Judge Bleakley, "but think
the boys charges warrant careful
investigation. The facts ought to be
learned and made public"
Policeman Silnski, of the Yonkers
force, found the runaway at South
broadway and Lawrence street early
this morning. Leighton said he was
on his way to New York.
Guy Morgan, superintendent of the
asylum, was in the Police Court when
Leighton appeared before Judge Bleak
ley After the boy had told his story
Judge Bleakley asked Morgan whether
ne had any statement to make.
The asylum official denied Leighton's
story, although he admitted it was
sometimes necessary to whip and hand
cuff inmates of his institution in order
to maintain discipline"
Leighton, he said, had not been hand
cuffed to his bed, although for sew
erai nights he had been sent to bed
with his hands manacled together
Morgan emphatically denied the bows
charge that he had been struck with
rubber hose. Morgan said that, when
necessary, fogging was done by his
subordinates.
Judge Bleakly pointed out that there
were marks on only one of Leighton,s
wrists, and that this seemed to hear
out his story that he had been chained
to his bed by one arm,
Judge Bleakley turned Leighton ovsr

Opera
IL 'Amore del Ire Re" Given Its
First Production of Season
at Metropolitan

Italo Montemezzi's "L'Amore del tre
Re" was sung at the Metropolitan
Opera House yesterday afternoon for
the first time this season. Of all the
works which Italy has given us in the
last decade this opera alone seems
destined to live. Indeed, there are
many who believe it the greatest opera
produced in Italy since Verdi's Gal
staff" and this belief grows with each
succeeding hearing. Simple, sincere,
melodious, elevated in spirit, informed
with the rich beauty of the Italian
soul, "L'Anorc del tire Re" seems
to-day, as it seemed at it's firstperform-
ance, work which will place both
it's composer and it's librettist in the
pantheon of the great. At once pas
sionate and austere, it puts to shame
the amoristic theatricalities of the
contemporary stage. 1t is work con-
ceived in grand manner and carried
out as it was conceived.
The performance yesterday was in
most respects admirable. Signor Nor
anzoni gave superb orchestral read
evitable power, yet always tender, al
ways evocative of the sense of classic
tragedy. Adamo Didur. as the blind
Archibaldo, was moving to a degree,
Giovanni Martinelli sang the music of
Avito with passion and acted the part
with romantic fervor, and Miss Claudio
Muzio, beautiful to look upon, showed
truer feeling for the spiritual side
of Flora than was the case last year.
Thomas Chalmers sang Manfredo for
the fyyt time in New York. His
trionj}4l he gave an admirable per-
form Jlce, but vocally he was miscast.
Mr.. Chalmers is essentially lyric
artist, while the part Of Manfredo, cru
ely written for the voice, requires an
organ of stentorian power. Mr..
Chalmers is the best Valentine New
York has seen for many seasons, but
he ought to fight shy of Manfredos of
any ilk, q "

The chorus made eighteen public ap-
pearances during the many war drives.
and is to be heard again to-day at the
entertainment for MANNED soldiers and
sailors at the Hippodrome. The Peo-
pies Liberty Chorus holds itself avail
able Tor any community service.
The two principal aims of the pro-
posed organization are the development
of American ideals and patriotic fervor
and the development of American
music. 1t is planned to accomplish this
by establishing about twenty commu-
nifty centres in different parts of the
city, or to use those already established
by other organizations, where the peo-
pie Of the neighborhood will assemble
weekly to sing and take part in such
other form of approved entertainment
as will add to their pleasure and
contentment. There rs also to be
large common centre to which the
choruses from the various smaller CEN
tres will go once week to sing with
small orchestra.
Several times yearly more for
NAL gatherings would be held in Madi-
son Square Garden or other suitable
place, in which all of the choruses from
the various centres would participate.
These concerts would consist of chorus
singing, accompanied by the best or
chestra procurable and assisted by art.

$5cO,O0o Yearly Needed
To carry out this programme it is
estimated that $5O0,O00 yearly will be
required. This will be raised by pri-
vate subscription, by contributions
from business concerns, by the dis
posal of season tickets to the yearly
events and by the optional payment of
small fees from people who become
members of choruses After the first
year, it is believed the organization
will become partly self-supporting.
Among the we'll known persons in

Music
Final Concert in New York of
Season of Boston Symphony
Orchestra
By H. E. Krehbiel

French, Russian and German music
made up the programme of the con-
cert arranged by NJ. Rabaud for the
concert with which the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra said farewell to New
York yesterday afternoon. The list
was generous and noble in spirit, the
performance of character which COM
pelled admiration quickened with a
feeling Of respect which is not always
or necessarily present as an element
of artistic enjoyment.
First there came the Symphony in
c minor, by Saint-Saens, in which the
pianoforte and organ are associated
with the orchestral forces, compost
ton which came to New York when it
was comparatively young, and which,
though it has never become popular" "
has periodically challenged the atten-
tlon Of those of our conductors who
think seriously of their duty to art.
To it's performance Mr.. Rabaud gave
obvious care and devotion, ignoring its
possibilities for superficial effect, but
laying bare its ingenious structure and
its high aims. After the Symphonic
piece from Cesar Franck's "Redemp-
tion," it was possible to recall it with
an additional measure because of the
SOiIiooC NiiiCIi lCo otIOuS lOSlC pre-
sented to the too attenuate instrument
talities of the master, who, with all his
sturdy qualities let his piousness
(Which is something else than piety)
Interfere with his sense of proportion.
When F'ranck essays religious theme
we can never rid ourselves of the mem
ory that it was he who set himself the
duty of writing three or four score
save Marias" and died before he had
accomplished the task
The sentimental ghosts evoked by
LA Redemption" were sent gibbering
by the fresh wind which blew from
Bach's Brandenburg Concerto in F, in
which the concertino band is composed
of solo violin, flute, oboe and trumpet
Unfortunate the inflated size of the
ripieno band and the size of the room
initiated against the complete cf-
fectiveness of this marvellous old
composition. When the tinkling tones
of the harpsichord (Which was used to
fill out the harmonics) could be heard
they were of ingratiating charm But
the music needs intimacy, and this was
impossible under the circumstances.
Rimsky- -korsakoff's "Sadko," a pretty
bit Of descriptive music, with which
the Russian Ballet associated pictures
two or three years ago, followed the
concerto, and the overture to "Der
Freischiitz.' always fresh and dewy
as it's forest home, ended concert
which was heard from beginning to
end with enthusiastic delight.
