states that for some of the best known
of his songs Schubert received from
his publisher ten pence apiece. or about
20 cents as exchange was before the
war. For the famous Quintet (opus 114)
he received only 25 shillings. or S6.25,
figuring on the same basis Of exchange.
The Trio in Z flat (opus 1909 brought
to Schubert only II shillings pence. or
$4.37. and you can figure for yourself
how much less the money would be at
the present rate of exchange.
"At the roser's death many of his
masterpieces were Jumped together in

Compare these remarkable prices
with those earned by modern popular

HARDING ASKS WILSON
 FOR SPECIAL SESSION
Wants New Senate to Con- vene March 4 to Con-
 firm Appointments.

Washington. Feb. IA request from President -elect Harding that special session of the new senate be called for March to confirm cabinet and other appointments to be made by the incoming executive was conveyed today to President Wilson. Such a session is customary when there is q change of administrations and it usual ly lasts only a week at most.
 The president-elect's request was contained in a telegram received by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the republican leader. and was conveyed to the White House by Senator Under wood of Alabama, the democratic leader.
 Nearly a score of new senators were elected last November and in order for them to be here by March the call for the special session would have to go out ten days or more in advance of that date. After the present session ends, the new senate would meet and the new members would be sworn in. The senate then would be ready to act upon MT. Harding's nominations.
 The call for the special session of the new congress will be issued by Mir. Harding after his inauguration. It is expected that this session will begin either late in March or early in April.

Raleigh. N. C., Feb. 1.-Sarah wyckoff. 76 years old, is dead today in the state prison after 42 years inn prisonment, during which she five times declined a pardon at the hands of as many governors and after she had lived to learn that a deathbed confession had completely exonerated her of the charge for which she was sentenced.

The convicted prin- cipal. negro was hanged. Three years ago from the mountains came word that a deathbed confession had absolved the woman of connection with the tragedy. Then for the fifth time she refused n pardon, explain ing that she was being treated we'll, that time had shattered all her re- lations with her family in the moun- tains and that she preferred to spend her last days amid surroundings she had learned to know so we'll.
