Alberto snlvi, from Venice, Makes Local
DEBUT
y. Y. AMERICAN

DEBUT
Alberto salvi was graduated from the
Conservatory Of Music in Naples, where he
received instruction from Caramielo He
is essentially a solo performer and vir-
tuoso, never having been member OF an
orchestra; and his technical equipment Is
CT sort thatenables him to arouse as.
constituent, and not least among those
whose acquaintance with the difficulties of
the harp are limited.
There are dash, spirit assurance in
salyi's performance of bravura passages.
In sonorous SUGGESTIONS of chords he seems
to smite the strings almost as a pianist
strikes the keys.
There is deSterity, too, and delicacy,
in salvis fingers. He can produce, more
over, finely spun pianissmo, and his
harmonics are good.
He revels in strong, dynamiccontrasts.

OH WHAT A SCARE

stationed in the barracks near by
During one recent torrid spell about
so buck privates were recuperating in
the pool from two hours drill in the
morning before the noon day meal.
Suddenly, with terrified shrek,
soldier sprang out of the baths: j.
''Crocodi1es, Lieutenant, there are
crocodiles in the pool!'
''Put blanket around this man and
take him to the guardhouse. He is
crazy with the heat said the Lieu
tenant.
Then with concerted rush which
equalled anything ever shown against
the Germans, the other 40 bathers
leaped out. ''Crocodiles, crocodiles!'
they shrieked.
The lieutenant veteran of many
battles, looked closer at the water and
there with jaws set and eyes staring at
him, surely enough were six large GRO
coolies. The lieutenant's face blanched
and he wondered whether he too had
become affected by the heat or per-
haps, the red wine. Just then two men
bearing an, instrument which resembled
a machine gun on high stills came
along. Don't hurt our crocodiles,' =

ION STATUS. MI. De Valera made
this declaration at the second ses-
sion of the Dali Eirenn held in the
Mansion house to take up the
question of the negotiations with
Premier Lloyd-George with re-
gard 10 possible Irish settlement.
From the reports this morning
in the British foreign press" said
Mr.. De Valera, "there seems to be
doubt as to what our attitude is
towards the British proposals" :"
There ought to be no doubt in
anybody's mind. We cannot and
will not on behalf of this nationl
accept these terms.
at is said we are offered the
status of Dominion home rule for
Ireland, the status of the British
dominions. Ireland is offered no
such thing. What was offered was
not even Dominion status. 1t was
admitted the dominion had the
right to secede and could get out
if they desired. We are told we
must stay in whether we like it or
not. We are not claiming the
right to secede. There cannot be
question of secession because
there never has been union.
Northern Ireland has retarded
itself from its own viewpoint and
in entering negotiations they need
not give up that point of view. l
would be willing to suggest to the
Irish people that they give up

COURT REFUSES |
BURKE COUPLE
A DIVORCE
Mr.. and Mrs. Lafarra
Were Married 43 Years
Ago

An unusal condition Of affairs
was presented Tuesday in Gale
donia county court when parties
from West Burke appeared to pet
iiton for divorce after a 43-years
rather stormy welded life. There
have been eight children.
The petitioner was George La
farra now 67 years old and the pc
titionee Alice d. Lafarra is nine
years younger. The old gentleman
claimed that his wife abused him
and was anxious for a separation
He was the only witness in the
case, although quite number
more were summoned.
N. A. Norton of Lyndonville
represented Lafarra and j. B.
Campbell of st. Johnsbury repre-
ented Mrs. Lafa1ra.
Mr.. Lafarra testified that the
marriage took place in Montgom-
cry. Things began fairly well for
a while or, as the witness put it,
".for two or three years, what you
call it,-honeymoon,' then things
began to happen and continued to
happen, as he expressed it, because
of his wife's "jealousness," until
after about 18 years he could not
stand the stove pokers and cab
bages and things thrown at his
head, 50 he pulled out and went
elsewhere.
After a few months he returned
and things mended for ten years
or so when things fused up again
This time the wife left at was her
turn" the witness suggested.
The couple came to Newark and
occupied farm where "life leases
and money matters made more
trouble. If money is the root of
all evil, it isn't so much the amount
involved as its relative proportion
that makes the trouble for at no
time was there values or money of
more than $400 or $500 at STAKE.
From the Newark farm the fam
ily moved to the Quimby place in
West Burke village where troubled
continued for the witness said that
his wife's extravaganza kept HIM
in debt all the time. She made a
poor trade in swapping an organ
for piano and insisted on kitch-
en- cabinet, an inside closet and
other4city plumbing" also a"horse.
The couple lived in the same house
but did not associate with each 9th
er until last spring, even having
each having separate gardens and
the last straw was applied, he
when his wife went into his gar
den and took his stuff and sold it.
After hearing the petitioner test
ify for nearly day, Judge Wilson
refused to hear further testimony
in the case and the petition was
dismissed.
The next case was the contest
ed divorce of Cora L. Whitehill
of Mclndoes against Newton
Whitehill. Mrs. Whitehill is AZ and
Mr.. Whitehill is IS. 1t is his second
marriage. Intolerable severity and
refusal to support. d. E. Porter
and w. w. Reiden represent the
petitioner and ]. B. Campbell the
contestant.
In the Lyndonville case of
Mary Vigneault against Edward
Vigneault former order for ali
mony was modified to call for 81
a week and the case was left on
the docket until unpaid accumula-
tions of alimony money is paid.

NEWPORT
NOSES OUT
A VICTORY
Bunched Hits Brought
In the Desired
Scores

Jerry Daley, the elongated Bar
ton right handler was in rare form
7 aesday at Roaring Brook Park
He was very stlrey with his base
hits, allowing the Newport c'n'in-
gent but 6 safe bingles. But in
spite of his clever heady twirling.
Manager Davis protegees managed
'%o bunch their hits at the correct
and most opportune times, with
such telling effect that they emerg-
ed from the afternoons fracas a
scant run ahead Of the dangerous
Barton team. The score was 5
runs to A, favcring the strong team
from the Border city.
As matter of fat, Newport
was fortunate in really winning the
contest, which was not taken seri-
ously enough. 1t looked as
though the game would 60 blooey
in the ninth stanza, when Carter
scored after Tryon had permitted
McDonnelPs single 10 go through
h;s legs. Berney Lee flied out to
Donald Gray who completed cir
Gus catch in the center garden.
Twirler Ed Wells was becoming a
trifle unsteady and walked Joe
Snyder to first. With two men on
the hassocks, and Dubois, a dan
Terous hitter, up, trouble was
brewing. However, Wells collected
himself and caused Dubois to
hoist to Ginger Bruce. The game
thus ended, Newport clin2ing TO
her single run margin,
Barton secured 10 safe c!outs
and shaped up as a strong con-
tender for the contest at all tines.
Had it not been for the superio;
defensive work of the Newport
inner cordan-a prime factor in
aiding Ed Wells to achieve his 18th
victory over Barton-the outcome
of the game might have been dif-'
ferent.
Newport tossed away at least
two opportunities to tally by care

Nels attempted to pilfer third

Nels was easily retired on McDon-
