Splendid Contralto Voice Heard
In Recital at National
Theater.

The splendor Of the contralto voice
Of Nine. Marguerite D'Alvarez and
her great dramatic gifts were domi-
nant factors in the concert Of the New
York Symphony Orchestra in the last
concert this season to be conducted
by Walter Damrosch. Mr.. Damrosch
leaves for a tour Of Europe, where
as guest conductor he will direct the
leading orchestras abroad, and in his
place at the remaining concerts
Albert Coats, Of London, will be con-
ductor Of the New York Symphony in
its Washington concerts.
Nine. D'Alvarez sang the "Air de
Lia." the gripping mother song from
Debussy's "L'Enfant Prologue" her
luscious cello tones bringing out its
potent meaning. Here is a contralto
of genuine caliber, with a wealth of
tone, a range of remarkable compass,
and through II all a mellow beauty
that holds sweetness in all her singing.
Dramatically she gave that forceful
cry for the prodigal son, and In wide
ly different mood she proved in the
Carmen "Seguidilla" that not since
Emma Calve have we had such a Car

that exuberant laugh! And how no.
bly,. In contrast again, was the Bizet
"Agnus Del given with the purest
lyric beauty Of voice. Tschaikowsky's
greatest song "Ye who have Yearned
Alone" will seldom have SO rich
rendition.
The orchestra played the great
Beethoven Fifth Symphony, making
memorable, under Mr.. Damrosch, the
cello and viola melody of the Andante,
the fugue of the Allegro, and in the
final movement that double mood I'm

gayety that danced through it. Mr..

CUT IN FREIGHT RATES

parts of the country that reduction
In feight rates on coal might be ex-
pected within the next few days were
today characterized as "baseless' by
J. d. A. Morrow. vice-president Of the
National Coal Association.
Careful inquiry here from all OFF,
cial sources concerned" said Morrow,
"tustifies the definite statement that
no freight reductions on coal ship.
mems may be expeced while general
rate reductions are under considera-
ton by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This precludes the slightest
probability Of any such coal freight
reductions before next spring."

De Valera did not take his ac-
customed seat beside Griffith and
Collins when he entered. Instead he
crossed to the opposite side of the
room and took seat among his
supporters.
Despite the failure of the Irish
Roman Catholic prelates to adopt a
resolution urging ratification, the be-
lief was general that the pact would
be approved.
Thousands Of persons, most of them
bearing flags, surrounded National
University building as Dali Eirean
met. They evidently hoped decision
would be forthcoming quickly, and
that announcement of II would be
made before the afternoon was over.
There was an undercurrent of fear
that If the opposition under de
Valera should be successful war
might break out again in Ireland.
Most OF the 120 members of Dali
Eireann slipped into the building un-
recognized
De Valera Arrives.
Cathal Brugha, one of the Sim
Fein ministers supporting de Valera,
and Austin Stack, who has frequent
ly acted as courier for the Sim
tions. rode to the building on
bicycles.
De Valera drove up in a red au-
tomobile. He was accompanied by
a secretary. AS he made his way
through the crowd to the doorway
the Sim Fein chieftain frequently
raised his hat in answer to the ap-
plause, He wore a black hat and a
long black Ulster and carried a
bulging brief case in his right hand.
De Valera's face was lined and
careworn. showing the strain he had
been under during the past week. He
walked erect, however, and with
firm stride. He looked straight ahead
and the stern CLEAN in his eyes show
ed he was ready for battle.
Arthur Griffith entered shortly
after de Valera. He seemed to be
embarrassed by the cheers Of the
crowd and hurried toward the door
way at topmost speed.
Michael Collins and the other IRISH
republican army chiefs arrived last.
They did not seem perturbed either
by the applause or by the prospect Of
a fight in Dali Eireann.

Nail-Makine in United States.

Of the early American inventions for the manufacture of nails the only one which has survived is that pat ented in 17S6 by EzekiaI Reed of Bridgewater, Mass. In 1883 cut nails were first made of steel, and wire nails were manufactured for the first time in the United States about 1851. Twenty-Five years later Father Goo bel, a priest, began their manufacture in Covington, and the American Wire and Nail company was established a year later under his leadership. The output of cut nails has varied from 100000 to 100000 kegs q year, while their exportation rose from 1S96, when 1t amounted to 2O,OOO,OOO pounds, to over ten times those figures in 1914.
