represented closing out of long line

prominent Wall Street operator. HIS
selling was divided among three or more
brokers, but to many \ was easily dis
tinguishable. A few stop loss orders
were uncovered here and there in the
first hour, which gave the market an
unsettled and decidedly easy appearance
at one time. Southern interests also
offered freely.
At the opening the market was barely
steady, off 8 to IL points. Liverpool
brokers took near and sold distant de-
liveries at the outset, while room traders
sold. The market slipped off quickly

Woman Judge Says She
Prevents Sentimentality
Asserts Feminine Court Officer
Divides Sympathy Given De-
PENDANTS Of Her Sew

Judge FlorencesE. Allen, who studied
music abroad for two years, wrote
verse for while and now presides at
the trials Of murderers, burglars and
other offenders as they come, up on
the docket in the Court of Common
Pleas in Cleveland, told what she
thought about women judges last night
sociation at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
The bench was no easy chair for a
woman, she said. 1t was pretty hard
to ascertain the truth in q case at law
and the Judge continually was bes;eged
BY persons seeking favors. Neverthe.
less, she said, some women ought TO
occupy such positions in order that
their sex might get the justice to
which they are entitled under the law
and no more.
There is oversentimentality in pure
~ masculine courts" she said, "as re-
CARDS women defendants. It is fair
neither to men nor to women. A pretty
woman called to the bar always csn
look for q certain amount Of leniencv
on the part Of the jurors unless some
officer of the court-judge or attor-
ney-is woman.
I'm that case the feminine influence
is divided. There is as good q chance
of the jurors needing the plea Of the
woman who represents the people as
there is of their inclining toward sym
patny for the defendant. Women
should expect fifty-ffty deal in court
and nothing more"
Other speakers were Lieutenant Gov
ernor jeremiah Wood, Judge Frederick
e. Crane, of the Court Of Appeals;
Magistrate Jean Norris, Dean Sohmer,
of New York University, and Bertha
Rembaugh. A telegram from Governor
Miller was read. Emile Bullowa pre-
sided.

The Famous Webev Tone

Albert Weber possessed rare combina-
ton of qualities A fine musician and
skilled craftsman, he was at once
dreamer, a creator and man Of excep-
tional force. In the piano that bears his
name, he produced distinctive quality
which no pianoforte had hitherto possessed
The sympathetic richness-thc rare, mel
low singing voice that has since become
synonymous with the name ssWeber' was a
revelation to musicians of Albert Webers S
time.
1t was this ncw-this wonderfully appeal
ing quality, that made the Weber famous
and has kept it to the fore through all the
intervening years.
The AeoA'au -Webev A6FAatiom
The Weber piano is today an Aeolian
lnstrumcnt-onc of that wonderful group
which has made the name of its makers
famous in every corner of the civilized
world.
Fifteen years ago the afiliation of the
Weber Piano Company and The Acolian
Company was brought about, thus con-
ferring upon the Weber the extraordinary
advantages of.association with the great
Aeolian organization

Only Three IutevuutiouaI Pianos

Only Three IutevuatioualP Pianos
There are today Just three Pianos, the de-
mand for which is so universal as to neces-
state factories both in Europe and America.
The Weber is one Of these three-indi-
eating that its popularity among musicians
in Europe equals its artistic standing In
America. 1t is most significant that Of
the other two, one-the George Steck-
is also made under Acolian auspices, while
the other-the celebrated Steinway-ie
affiliated with The Aeolian Company by
trade arrangement whereby the Steinway
Duo-Art Piano is made in conjunction and
marketed exclusively by The Acolian
Company throughout the world
Dno-Art Reproducimg Piano
The latest development of the Weber
the last step in the evolution Of this great
instrument, is the Weber Duo-Art Repro
ducing Piano.
Here is pianofortc that seems all that
music has to ofer-that brings to every
home not only the superb Weber, but the
actual playing of Padercwski, Holman.
Bauer, Gabrilowitsch, Busoni, de Pach-
mann, Friedman, CAM, Granger, Cortce.
Novaes and scores of others of the worldie
