 She was loved by all. Her sweet voice can be heard no more, but in our memory it is not forgotten. So sweet, good and kind she was. Jesus loved her most of all He has taken her to His bosom, in Heaven just one year ago today. She may be gone but in our memories she will live for ever.
 Sadly missed by her husband, mother, father, sisters and brother.

Lawyer Tells of Fight
To Undo Even Marriage
Testifies in VIII Trial That She
Swooned When Informed Hus-
band Was Bogus Baron

George H. Olney, lawyer, was q
witness yesterday in the Surrogates'
Court trial of the contest over the will
of Miss Maria Louise Even, daughter
of the late General John Even. MIR.
Olney acted as attorney for Miss Caro-
line Even and Miss Eliza Even, sisters
of the testatrix, in 1910, when they
we're trying to undo the marriage Of
their sister to Baron" Bo,o Won Koe-
nitz, bogus German nobleman.
Mr.. Olney told of the difficulty he
had in seeing Baroness" Won Koenitz
in Jacksonville Fla, while she was on
her honeymoon, because the Baron"
kept his bride carefully guarded. The
attorney finally succeeded in getting
her to the home of 'ocal ministe~,
where she was confronted with the
alleged criminal record Of her husband.
She was also informed that her hus-
band had married her only for her
money. The Baroness" became hys-
terical, but said she would have to re-
turn to the hotel where her husband
was because she had her jewelry there,
the witness testified.
Mr.. Olney described Baroness" Won

Rachmaninoff Heard Again
Repeats Triumphs at Concert of
Philharmonic Society,"

Lovers of music, in New York recall
Sergei Rachmanioff's performance, Just
about year ago, of his own Conce rto
No. 3, in D minor, as one of the great
landmarks of metropolitan musical life.
Recognized as one of the best contem-
porary masters of the piano orte. ap-
preclated as composer, the triumph
ne then scored at Aeolian Hall and
repeated twice within few weeks has
won him place in the hearts of New
York concertgoers that he has to share
only with a very few.
At last nights Philharmonic concert
at Carnegie Hall, Mr.. Rachmaninoff
played the same work, his favorte of
the three concertos that bear his name.
1t is one of the noblest pieces of mod
ern piano mus'c;' naturally, Mr.. Rach-
maninoff is at his best when playing
his own compositions, and of these
hardly any perhaps none, expresses
his personality more fully and poig-
nantly than the Concerto in D minor.
The cool, tender sadness that pervades
1T may lack passion of the more dra-
matte stump, yet it has a heroic quail
ity just in its disciplined reserve, mis-
taken by the superficial or lack Of
depth. The effect on the audience
showed that Rachmaninoff's magic is
unabated by an increasing familiarity.
The program included Beethoven's
Fifth, B,ahms's Tragic Overture, and
the prelude to the Mastersingers.

Fosdick Fears Dry Law
Will Overburden Police
Tells Anderson Enforcement by
the Department Would Open
New Avenue Of Tribute

Raymond B. Fosdick yesterday sent
letter to William Il. Anderson of the
Anti-Saloon League, answering criti
cisms Of Mr.. Fosdick's recent address
before the City Club, in which he said
that the use of the police to enforce
prohibition would demoralize the force
and should be left to an independent
state or national body of officers.
Mr.. Fosdick in his letter says he is
not one of those who believe the pro-
hibition law should be neglected. "The
problem that confronts US now" he
says, "is how the law can be enforced.
| am most anxious that its enforce
ment should not jeopardize the task
Of our city police. That task is neces-
sarily concerned with the protection of
the lives and property of the citizens,
and it is task which in our cosmo-
politan American cities is enormous
enough. The events of the last six
months prove conclusively how des-
terate is our need of effective and we'll
organized police forces in our fight
with crime"
Mr.. Fosdick in his letter reviews the
working of the Sunday closing law as
an example and says: Because there
were thousands of people who wanted
a drink on Sunday the police used the
illegallty OF open saloons as weapon
Tor extortlng millions in tribute. Ex-
actiy the same situation applies under
prohibition
There are thousands of citizens who
want drink and are determined to
have 1t. The ilegality Of gratifying
this desire will be used by the police
as an instrument of corruption"

Brahms's Concert
Overtures Played
Matinee and Night
Academic" Performed in
Afternoon for Symphony
Society and ''Tragic'' at
Night by Philharmonic

Brahms's concert overtures, "Aca-
iemic" and Tragic" (Which, when they
first appeared some forty years ago,
DR.. Hanslick aptly characterized as
Jean qui rit" and Jean qui pleure')
we're performed in Carnegie Hall yes
terday The first fell into the scheme
OF the historical concerts planned by
Mr. Walter Damrosch for the SYM
phony Society and was played In the
afternoon; the second opened a concert
by the Philharmonic Society in the
evening.
All of the music of the afternoon
concert was composed by Brahms, Mr..
Damrosch having a proper apprecia-
tion of the composers great signifi-
eance in the development of instru-
mental music. With the overture he
associated the symphony in D, which,
so far as it's first movement is con-
cerned at any rate, has aptly been
characterized as pastoral work, and
Of which was played by Mr. Kreisler,
said about the concert, save a tribute,
which must sound conventional, because
it has so often been paid to Mr.. Kreis-
Ter, Mr.. Damrosch and the superb band
over which the latter gent eman has
control The excellence IF all the fac
tors being generally recognized, any
thing more would be vain and useless
repetition.
The program of the concert by the
Philharmonic Society under Mr.. Stran-
sky's direction. consisted Of the
Brahms overture, Beethoven's SYM
phony in minor, RachmaninotF's e
pianoforte concerto in D minor (No. 81,
and Wagner's prelude to "Die Meister-
singer" Quite naturally the most
luminous point in this scheme was the
concerto played by the composer, who
Is become the most attractive figure on
the American concert platform. His
playing and his music aroused enthus-
iasm bordering on frenetic cxcit ment
though he has been heard often this
season. Fl. E. X.

From The 7rtopne's WASHINGTON Bureau

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureuu
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. -- Bishop
Francis j. Mcconnell, Of Pittsburgh,
chairman Of the Interchurch World
Movement Commission which investi-
gated the steel strike of 1919, to-day
declared before the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor that William
q. Foster, secretary of the steel wovk-
ers strike committee. had nothing to
do with the preparation of the commit
tees report. The s.isn~ p sail. tnat / s.
ter appeared before the Interchurch
Commits sion as a witness, but had 10th
ing t6 do with the investigation or the
report.
Bishop Mcconnell appeared before
the committee in the hearing on the
Commissions rtT 1t 3 S Gu
ment. Senator Walsh is seeking TO
have the report SO printed, and it was
at his instance that members Of the
commission were called.
Bishop Mcconnell was the principal
spokesman. Other witnesses we're Dam
;el A. Pling, DR.. Alva w. Taylor and
George W. Coleman of Boston, all
members of~the commission, and Cap
tain Heber Blankenhorn, of New York,
the commissions secretary.
While the hearing dealt chiefly with
the report and its publication as a
Senate document it developed that the
commission, which is now in session in
Washington, desired to have its recon-
mendations enacted into law Hence
the proposed printing of the report as
public document has an Importance
not merely measured by government
publication for the purpose of giving
information to the public.
The commission in Us report recon-
mended that a spec al Federal COM
mission be set up for the iron and steel
industry and that it be charged with
bringing about conferences between
workers and employers in order to
abolish the twelve-hour day and the
seven-day week, readjust wages and
establish \ permanent means of con-
ference for the industry. The commits
sion also recommended that the gov
ernment investigate the activities of
labor detective agencies, including their
relation with the Department of Jus
tice, with q view to regulating them
Senator Walsh said that he was par
ticularly impressed with the disclosure
in the report which indicated or
charged that erroneous statements had
gone out that the strike was engineered
by radicals.

OperagoersC Cheer
The Apache Dance
Chicago Banned
Features in ''The Jewels of
the Madonna" Get Great
Applause Here; Sing
ers Make Poor Showing

Wolf -Ferrari's garish opera, "The
Jewels of the Madonna" was we'll acted
by the Chicago Opera Company last
evening at the Manhattan Opera House.
Unfortunately, the singing was a mat
ter of quantity rather than quality.
Miss Rajsa's Maliella, one of her best
roles. was appropriately hot-blooded,
capricious, vixenish, constantly ef-
fectivc from purely histrionic view
point. She sang brilliantly and occa-
sionally with beauty of tone, but her
voice this season has taken on a
harsher timbre. and shows the effect
OF continuous striving for volume at
the expense of the laws of song. In
the second act, for example, her trill
was incredibly coarse.
Mr.. Rmini's Rafaele was excellent as
to make up, but his vocal staggering
was less effective than his acting. His
voice was seldom clear, and the short
comings of his singing are akin to
those of Miss Raisa. Mr.. Lamonts
Gennaro was one of the most impress
sive features of the performance, but
there was little tonal beauty in his
singing. Nine. Classens, now veteran
sympathetic in action, but itably stri-
dent and often far from the true pitch
in song.
The vulgarity of book and music is
now a twice-told tale. This spirit was
faithfully maintained by both prnci-
pals and chorus, and Mr.. Cimini con-
Quoted with Latin fervor.
The incidental dances in the last act
by the we'll known Pavley and Oukrain-
sky were a feature of the evening, and
the apache dance in which Mile. Meme
rolf partic pated, which was expurgated
in Chicago, according to the manage
ment, excited the applause Of the audi
ence.
