Lockwood Is Stricken
On State Senate Floor
Fronl a Staf Correspondent.


ALBANY. April o1.-Laaders Of the
New York City teachers who have been
doing effective work in stimulating the
Legislature into action on their de-
mands for salary increases. today
learned that the numerous self-ap-
pointed committees of teachers have
been bounding Legislators and have in
jured their cause. So tonight most OF
the teachers returned TO New York.
One Of the most active advocates Of
the teachers in the Legislature, Sena-
tor Charles c. Lockwood. Republican,
Of Brooklyn, was taken from the Sen
ate floor at 4 o'clock this morning
after he suffered a nervous collapse.
1t is not believed he Will be able TO
return to his duties this session.
The illness of Senator Lockwood has
caused 4 swing Of sentiment toward
the proposal OF Senator Henry NJ
Sage, who is against direct tax Of
one and one-half mills for salary in
creases for the teachers. Senator
Sage's bill provides for temporary
increase of S40O for New York City

'Parsifal' Sung in
Afternoon; MARTHA
Is Opera at Night
Neither Rendered in Lam
guage Set by Composer;
Madame Matzenauer Adds
to a Fine Performance

Wagner and FIotow, both German
composers, but representative of the
antipodes in the lyrical drama. DOM
mated the performances at the Metro
politan Opera House yesterday. The
operas were "Parsifal' in the after
noon and Martha in the evening.
Neither was sung in the language set
by the composer and only the former
in the vernacuiar. Flotow's tunefui and
ingratlating concert in costume was
sung IN Italian, the only language in
which 1T is familiar to the present gen.
Grafton Of opera goers. 1t would be a
novel sensation to hear it in German,
and its melodies would probably lose
some of their easy and graceful flow II

Some of their lovers who know them
best might have welcomed almost any-
thing which would have compelled Mr..
Papi to moderate the speed with which
they were reeled Off last night, how
ever The conductor led a breathless
chase almost from beginning to end.
But why make comment on such things
when the be-all and end-all of the
audiences desire was summed Up in the
fact that Caruso sang?
The representation Of "Parsifal" in
the afternoon was probably the finest
that the work has received this season.
1t was the sixth performance this
year, fact worth mentioning since il
has no parallel in the history of the
drama at the Metropolitan When Mr.
Conrled signalized the first year OF
his management by committing what
many devout Wagnerites thought a
sacrilege, an impious crime. by taking
"Parsifal' from the monopoly of Bay,
reuth. and it created sensation un-
paralleled in the history of music. he
performed it eleven times.
The next season it had eight per.
formances. Since then it has been re
served for GOOD Friday and one or two
other holidays. Within the last two
months it has had six representations
and three of them have been in the
subscription list. That is bit OF
history worth remembering. As has
been said the performance YESTERDAY
was notably fine, especially in the con.
trlbution made to it by Madame Matz.

what they said probably would be their

call special session of the Legisla-

that he had nothing to say at this time
except to congratulate the sufragists
upon their ''untiring zeal"
Il have not been at any time opposed
to suffrage" the Governor added, ''and
have taken no position on that qaes-
ton. Whenever the State Of Vermont
shall pass upon that question. in what

Theater Seats Will Be

Broadway Stunned When Dill
bingham and the Selwyns An
nOunce Raise in Price

Definite announcement by two lead
ing firms of thearrfcaI producers that
the price of seats for their next sea-
sons shows will be advanced. brings
Broadway bang up against the hardest
knock that the cost OF high living has
yet administered.
Charles Dillingham; and the Selwyns
are the bold pioneers in the box Office

best seats for the new Fred Stone mu-
steal comedy staged by Mr.. Dillingham;
will sell for s. each set Broadway by

wyns allowed it be known that orches-
ira seats for Selwyn musical shows
viii sell at S. pair next winter. The
pure dra ma, as put on by the Selwyn
firm, viii cost So seat, for the best
positions
The increasing cost of everything is
the reason for the proposed advance
IT was unanimously agreed.
Flo Ziegfeld let it be understood that
Broadway might as well prepare for
the worst. Next years Follies will
cost at least 100000 to produce, Mr..
Zeigfeld said. Lee Shubert said he
thought the price Of seats was high
enough already, but that an advance
seemed inevitable. Al Woods declared
that he would not advance prices for

Young Conductor
Leads Symphony
Orchestra Concert
Dirk Focll. From Holland,
in Guiding Performance
Shows Love for Contrasts
andOverpowering Effects

Dirk Foch, a young conductor from
Holland. led members Of the New
Symphony Orchestra last evening in a
CONCERT at Carnegie Hall. Mr.. Foch
has had much experience rs a con-
ductor in European concert halls. He
made his first appearance here last
summer as guest conductor at one OF
the Lewisohn Stadium concerts.
Mr.. Foch who conducted from
memory, chose for ms program last
evening symphony popular n char
aeter and long g battle horse for vlr-
tuoso conductors-Tschaik No.
Pathetique"). The other pieces were
Brahms Tragic Overture" Debus
sy's ''LApres-midi dune Faune' and
-F6tes' and the overture to Tam
hauser
In Brahms's overture II was at once
apparent that Mr.. Foch is a lover of
violent contrasts and overpowering eff
fects Not in years has there been so
boisterous performance Of the
famous symphony. Mr.. Foch did not
wait for the barbaric third movement
10 uuchain the forces OF the brass.
An unusually dramatic reading OF the
first movement was the precursor or a
frenzied tumult OF sound IN the third
which shook the hall and no doubt
awakened the approving shade OF the
late Wassily Safonotf.
Debussy's exquisite idyll was marred
by slowness of pace. The tonal pic
lures were shifted too slowly and be-
came too we'll defined and obvious,
The poetic note was lacking.
Mr. Foch was more successful in his
reading Of 'fFetes,' the second Of three
"Nocturnes" for orchestra. This music
is mpressionistic, yet, with its strange
proce ssional march and whirring ca
prieiousness, its appeal is fairly direct
From all this II may be inferred that
Mr. Foch is young man OF ideas.
Many Of them are excellent. For ex-
ample, ne is skiilful in the preparation
Of effective climaXes. He also has the
authority to enforce his wishes. "
the warmth of romantic temperament
and striving for unusual readings
occasionally interfered with the clarity
of his musical expression. ard left the
heare. indelibly impressed with Mr.
Foch's ideas Of the compositions in
detail rather than as whole.

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Sees Funny Party
By Thornton W. Burgess
Some funny sights are sometimes seen
In forest and in naeudo1cs gree7a

Farmer Browns boy started out
through the Old Orchard one evening.
1t was Just after jolly, round, red Mr.
Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple
Hills and Old Mother West Wind mad
gathered her children, the Merry Little
Breezes, into her big bag and taken
them home for the night. The Black
Shadows were already creeping through
the Old Orchard.
Farmer Browns boy loves that hour
of the day He has learned that there
are some Of the little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
often seen then than at any other time.
1t was in the hope of seeing some of
these that Farmer Browns boy had
started out.
Over on the edge Of the Old Orchard
nearest the Green Forest q singer was
pouring out song so exquisitely sweet
that Farmer Browns boy stood per-
fectly still for the longest time just
listening. 1t was Melody the Wood
Thrush, who always sings just before
going to bed. His song is one of pure
peace and happiness, and no one can
listen to it without feeling better for
it.
Farmer Browns boy was still stand
ing there listening when he saw some
thing white moving toward him. He
guessed right away who it was. "It's
Jimmy skunk thought he. "All I can
see from this distance is the white of
his coat and tail, but. am sure that
is who it is. / hope that leg of his is
better wonder .if he'll know me.
Hello, He has company and lot Of
it don't know whether it is safe
for me to stay or not
He decided to stay. 1t was very ex-
citing. He couldn't help thinking what
might happen if Jimmy had forgotten
that they were friends. Jimmy was
soon near enough for Farmer Browns
boy to see him clearly He knew it was
Jimmy because he walked a little bit
lame. But with all his lameness Jimmy
was walking very proudly. There was
pride in every step. There was pride
in the way he held his head and carried
his big plume of tail. Behind Jimmy
was q stranger to Farmer Browns boy,
but he knew at once who it was. 1t
was Mrs. Jimmy. She also carried her
aelf proudly. At the same time it was
quite plain that she was bit anxious,
for she kept turning her head to look
back every two or three steps. And no
wonder, for behind her came the fun
niest procession Farmer Browns boy
ever had seen-seven little Skunks
walking one behind another and doing
just as Jimmy Skunk and Mrs. Skunk
did.
"It's a family party, the funniest
party I've ever seen," thought Farmer
Browns boy al wouldn't have missed
seeing 1t for anything in the world:
They are headed straight for me. l
wonder what they'll do when they see
| me. / hope Mrs. Skunk won't get nerv-
Gus and think / am an enemy. She can

at Recent Music Festival
Is Cause of Suit

Regiment Ar1nory on April II, for
which she was to receive $4,000 When
she appeared to carry oct her part of
the contract she was informed that
another singer had been engaged IN

The suit of the Italian soprano is an
echo of the reports given out at the
time of the concert as to the reason
for the non appearance of Nine. Tetraz-
zini. DR.. Walter Damrosch had mis-
orchestra on hand before the concert
for the purpose Of a rehearsal, but the
Nine. Schumann-Heink was engaged

Administration Blamed
For High Cost of Living
Francis H. Sisson, Addressing
Furnishing Association, Cites
Governmental Extravagance

An attack on the prodigal extrava-
gance of the present national Admins
tration as one of the causes of the
present high price of necessities of life
was launched last night by Francis H
Slsson, president of the Guaranty
Trust Company, in an address at the
dinner of the National Wholesale Mems
Furnishing Association in the Hotel
Astor.
Expenditures of the government. he
said, have exceeded by more than
s2oo,oOo,oOo all revenue from ali
sources during the first nine months of
the current fiscal year.
There is a two and half billion
dollar war deficit" he said, not COW
cred by bonds or provided for by cur
rent revenue, and, as has been pointed d
out, the financing of such sum by
short-term notes may preciptate a
serious menace at any time"
Arthur Refs, president of the asso-
citation, also spoke.
