Teachers Pay
Increase Bill
Faces Big Cut
ssAll-or-Nothing" Slogan of
Instructors Said To Have
Killed Lockwood's Pro-
gram for Wage Raise
Sage Measure Favored
Proposes Direct Tax of One
Mill and $3.50 Bonus for
All in Public Schools
From. a sta1 CORRESPONDENT

ALBANY, April 20.-Irritated by the
insistent tactics of some Of the too
aggressive teachers, who for weeks
have laid siege to the Capitol to win
sentiment for the LOCKWOOD -Donohue
salary increase hill, the Legislature
has about decided to abandon the
Lockwood program and is swinging
toward that proposed by Senator Sage.
Legislators say that, owing to those
who have made call for nothing" their
slogan, the more generous program
stands in danger of going into the dis
card
The LOCKWOOD -Donohue bill would
provide state tax Of 11a mills and
raise funds sufficient to make allot
ments ranging from $500 for each
teacher for New York City to $500 and
S25o Tor country schools. The Sage
Dill, as brought before the Senate last
night IN an amended form, proposes q
direct tax OF l milf and a bonus of
;r5 S3oo 1or each teacher in the state
This increase would be purely tempo
rary and subject to recommendations
to be made next year by a joint legis-
latlve committee which would investi-
gate school and salary conditions.
Lockwood to Continue Fight
Senator Charles C. Lockwood, father
OF the original salary increase bill
declared tonight that he will continue
the fight for his measure. 1t cannot
be denied, however. that there has
been a tremendous change in senti-
ment. In the Senate where the Lock
wood bill was almost assured of pass
age a week ago, it lacks to-day, six
votes of the twenty-siX necessary tc
pass, while the Sage bill supporters
claim they need only three.
Teachers Adopt Resolution

Mrs. Skunk took no notice Of this,

Du Puy Sale Sets
Record for Season
Largest Price Brought by a
Private Library; the High
est Amount Paid Yes
terday Was $2,225

The last day of the auction of the
final installment of the late Henry F.
Du Puy's library brought many lovers
of early American history to the Ander
son Galleries yesterday. Sales during
the afternoon mounted to $7,342.90 and
in the evening to $7,657.b5. The total
for the sale is S160,338.35, the largest
price brought by a private library
this season.
The largest price of the day was
$2,225, which was paid by the Rosen-
bach Company for book Of travels,
containing the second reference in Eng
lish annals to the settlement on Man
haitian Island. The writer was Cap
tain John Underhill, who published in
1888 his "Newes from America: or, A
New England, Containing True Rela-
tion of Their Warlke Proceedings
These Two Years Past"
An ancient "History Of Virginia,
containing the first picture of New
Am sterdan, was sold to II. D. Codding-
ton for $500.
The records of the first church
"drive" in America appeared in the
publications of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts, including the yearly sermons OF
churches in America and the needs OF
money and ministers. This brought
$525 from M. Wolfe, agent.
An authors copy of an early history
of New York by William Smith, pub
lished in 1757, was bought by the
Rosenbach Company for S4l0.
The first literary production OF
George Washington, his journal of his
trip through the mountains to the Ohio
River and his adventures with the In
dians, was sold at the final session last
night. 1t went to w. NJ. Hill for $165

SchOla CantOrum
Sings Impressively
At Metropolitan
Fusion of Ecclesiastical and
Popular Spirit Produces
Splendid Effect, the Span
ish Touch PredOminating

With twenty-five program notes
separately signed TX. S." and two
Kurt SCHNEIDER" all designed for
serious instruction, with some good
singing and some singing to which it
would be extravagant fattery to apply
the epithet, and with some very ac-
ceptsble solo singing by Rafaelo Diaz
and pianoforte playing by Arthur
Rubinstein, the Schola Cantorum con-
tinued its somewhat one-sided mission
of propagandism for Spanish music at
the Metropolitan Opera House last
night.
The program of the concert was
largely a repetition of that given a
few weeks ago in Carnegie Hall, in
which the choir makes a better impress
sion, both as to quality and volume of
tone, than it did in the large theater.
This was especially the case in the FIVE
Basque songs, set by Jesus Gurid and
Norberto Almandos in a manner far
more interesting to the student of har-
mony than the lover of folksong, as an
expression of the sentiment and taste
Of people.
The test of just intonation was not
satisfactorily met by the singers, and
it was not until Mr.. Diaz sang a group
of songs from the Asturas, Leon and
Murcla that a feeling of keen enjoy
ment seemed to take possession of the
audience.
After that there came an example
of religious music which deserves to
be set down as notable in every way,
but particularly remarkable for its
fusion of the ecclesiastical with the
popular spirit. This was kind of
choral ballad in which the liturgical
InpropeylG which is a part of the
service for Good FRIDAY, with its accus-
ing 'Popule meus" and alternate Latin
and Greek prayer for mercy, blended
with an ingenious poem in the Cata-
lonian dialect. Had the various
cl. oirs among which this singularly ex-
prossve music is distributed been bet
ter segregated we can imagine that the
effect would have been much more
profound and moving, but even as il
was, it was possible to recognize q
strongly individual, as we'll as de-
voutly sincere, voice in this compo-
sition by Antoni Nicolai, the direc-
tor of the conservatory at Barcelona
The lighter music, like Sancho- Mar
raco's setting of "Les Campanes dc
Paris" with its imitation of bel
chimes, was more effectively sung and
made a much more general appeal.
That the pianoforte composers oil
Spain have achieved a striking char
acteristic idiom, was made plain BY
the pieces by Albeniz, Granados and
De Falla played by Mr.. Rubinstein.

Young Violinist Pleases
John Corigliano Gives Recital
in Carnegie Hall

John Corigliano, who gave violin
recital at Carnegie Hall last evening,
has an uncommonly fine. tone, silken,
sensuous, melting. He showed far
more talent and less platform arrogance
than many of the young people who
claim unwarranted attention from the
public.
If trihe lacking in aplomb, his
playing has the virtue of sincerity, and,
of course, the necessary authority may
easily be developed with experience.
He used sound technical training with
sensationalism.
In Bruch's Concerto, as in other
pieces by Veracini, Joseph and Bur-
leigh, he revealed disposition to think
for himself as an interpreter.
He already has the precious gift of
awakening interest.

Bedtime Stories
Mrs. Skunk Explains
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Nothing ever simply happens;
Bear that point IN mind.
If uou look long and hard enough
A cause yo1tll always find.

1t was true that Jimmy Skunk had
just received the greatest surprise Of
his life. There could be no doubt about
it, 1t showed in his face, and Peter
Rabbit, watching from behind the old
stone wall, fairly hugged himself, he
was so pleased. You see, Peter had
known that secret. Mrs. Skunk had told
him just before she sent him to tell
Jimmy to come home. But who wouldn't
be surprised to have seven handsome
babies introduced as his own babies he
hadn't known anything about?
When Jimmy had duly admired them
as a good father should Mrs Skunk
told him he might now go in the house
if he wanted to. But somehow Jimmy
had lost all interest in the house. He
had no eyes but for that handsome
big family. And all at once he became
very proud. He fairly swelled out with
pride. He was sure that never before
since the Great World began was there
ever such handsome family. He said
as much Mrs. Skunk merely smiled.
She knew that already.
"Now." said she, 81 guess you under
stand why made you 60 and live by
yourself in the old house."
he truthfully, ~ don't. You didn't have
these babies then. Besides, if there
is room for me nov I don't see why
couldn't have stayeC ere all the time"
"Therc are many things you don't
understand, perhaps never will. and this
is one of them, | suspect" replied Mrs.
Skunk out Of the wisdom Of her mother

away there were no babies. But / had
to make the house ready for them when
they should arrive, and couldn't have
you bothcring me. And when they did
arrive they were such helpless little
things. Why, at first they didn't have
their eyes open and they had no little
fur coats. I had to take the greatest
care of them and had no time for any
thing else. 1t wouldn't have done at all
to have allowed them to be disturbed
then. OF course, you wouldn't have dis-
turbed them purposely; I know that.

and coming in would have been bad for
them. SO ! sent you away, Jimmy. You
