Cold Star Mother, 100,

Whose Son Died in Action

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Dec 17.-An
appeal for help for White Plains old
est Gold Star mother was made here
to-day by Mrs. R. Emmett Digney, ma
tional president of the American War
Mothers.
Mrs. Digney, who does not make
public the name of the mother, said
she was negro woman, nearly 100
years old, who has been close to star
vation. Other than the few dollars
which the woman has made taking in
washing, her only income was $50 a
month which the government has al
lowed her since the death of her son.

rent Mrs. Digney said that the Gold
Star mother bought lot in Manhattan
Park near the Westchester County fair
grounds with $225 which she had sue
ceeded in saving. The price of the
property was $500, and the woman gave
mortgage for the balance of the
money. She later secured some sec
ond-hand lumber, but has been unable
to work to secure funds for paying a
carpenter and a helper. The mortgage
Will be foreclosed unless an install
ment is paid at once. 1t is particularly
to prevent this and to secure food for

Schwarz-Brown Recital
Enthusiastic Audience Creets
Them at Carnegie Hall

Joseph Schwarz, the Chicago barry
tone, and Eddy Brown, the violinist,
shared in recital yesterday evening
at Carnegie Hall before a scattered
but enthusiastic audience. Mr.. Schwarz
sang "Fille des Rois" from Meyer
beers "L'Africaine," with the drinking
song from Thomas's Hamlet" as en-
core; Lewandowski's "Kol Nidre," with
cello oblixato by M. Metzinger;
Dvorak's "Biblischer Lieder" and four
Russian songs. These received nota-
BILE performance--his voice was clear,
powerful and sonorous with emotional
capacity, varying from the gravity of
"Kol Nidre" to gusto in the opcratic
numbers, while the greatest beauty was
reached in the Dvorak songs.
Mr. Brown played Wieniawski's "Sou-
venir de Moscou" and shorter pieces
including two Of his own, with the
familiar Rimsky Korsakoff Hindoo
chant and "Orientale" by Cui. He ap-
peared as a skillful and accomplished
violinist, if hardly great, but the gen.
orally light program was hardly
adapted to display his full powers
Joseph Bonime was his accompanist,
while Coenraad v. Bos played Mr..
Schwarz's piano parts, both programs
being literally sprinkled with encores

Supreme Court Bar
Pays High Tribute
To Whites Memory
Late Chief Justice Moved as
Foremost Actor Through
Sequence of Great Events,
Says Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The bar of
the Supreme Court of the United
States met in the courtroom to-day to
pay tribute of respect to the mem
ory of the late Chief Justice Edward
D. White.
The meeting was presided over by
John w. Davis former Ambassador to
England and former Solicitor General.
who in referring. to the twenty
years of service of the late chief JUS
tice upon the Supreme Court bench de-
clared that during that period there
came a development and expansion Of
the powers of the Federal government
and a resulting increase in the labors
Of the court unsurpassed during any
equal period in the history of the Re-
public"
Two foreign wars brought with them
during that period "problems Of novel
and untried extent" Mr.. Davis said.
Through all this sequence of great
events Chief Justice White moved as
a foremost actor" Mr.. Davis declared,
"and the future voyage of the ship Of
state will be charted from precedents
which he assisted to establish"
A committee headed by former Sen
ator George Sutherland, of Utah, and
numbering among its members many
of the most noted lawyers of the coun
try, submitted resolutions extolling the
late Chief Justices services to his
state and to his nation, declaring his
work had constructed for him "a monu
ment as enduring as the court itself"
The resolution adopted further
stated that the late Chief Justice "by
his modest bearing, his democratic at
titude toward his fellow men, his clean
and wholesome outlook upon life, and
his vigorous support of American in
stitutions and ideals has left to his
countrymen memory which is at once
an inspiration and an example Of in
calculable worth. In his death the ma
tion, whose faithful and efficient ser
want he was, has sustained an irrep-
arabic loss"
A number of addresses were delivered
by attorneys prominent in the practice
of the court relating incidents in the
life of the late Chief Justice and en-
phasizing his consideration, kindness,
learning and grasp of the destiny of
the nation in the affairs of the world
The resolution and proceedings of
to-day will later be presented to the
Supreme Court.

An orthodox program was presented

afternoon at Aeolian Hall before
large and cordial audience, comprising
Paradies, French songs by Faure, Hue, s

English. German numbers of Franz,
Kahn, Schumann, Grieg and Rubin
stein were followed by American COM
positions, including the first perform
ance of "The Robin" dedicated to the
singer by MacFadyen.
Miss Williams's Interpretation was
on the whole pleasing, although her ex-
remained on the surface. She
was at her best in the French group,
especially the light, rapid "A des
Oiseaux," by Hue, but her louder notes
semed harsh. Charles Baker gave
sympathetic accompaniment and ap-
plause and encores were Forthcoming.
