RISE, REIGN OF venice
TOLD IN CLUB PAPER

Rise and reign of Venice in the l4th
and 18th centuries, with all the allur-
ing romance and glory which once be-
longed to the city with streets of wa
ter and sunsets of liquid gold was
narrated in a paper written by Mrs.
w w. Gaar and read by Mrs. Charles
Bond Tuesday afternoon before the
art department Of the Woman's club
at it's closing art lecture of tn year.
The unique position which Venice
held, commanding all commercial
branches to be her tributaries her
full Golfers from which the money
was drawn to be spent in beautifying
and improving at home, the trading
galleys of the brave Phoenicians
which cruised the known seas, was ali
related.
Each Phoenician returning from
abroad. 1t is said, had to bring some
Jewel mosaic, or colored glass for the
great ST. Marks when it was being
constructed The result is that 1000
colors are used in the edifice in a
space of $4,000 square feet of mosaic
Discussion as to the kind of pro
grams to be given next year in the
department was held but no decision
was reached. The lecture to have
been given by Mrs. Johnston was
postponed because of trouble with the
lantern which is used to show the
slides.

PLAINTIFF ALLOWED
T0AMEND COMPLAINT
in CHURCH ACTION

Exceptions to the complaint Of
Charles Harris and others against Ar
drew May was sustained. and tie
plaintiff was given until Monday to
file an amended complaint, in circuit
court Wednesday. The case is thu
outgrowth of dissention in the Second
Babtist church of this city. Andrew
May was former pastor nthe church.
The action was an injunction To
restrain Rev May from interfering
with the services of the church Ac-
cording to the complaint he had made
threats that he would hold his pulpit
until April 80, the time at which his
resignation takes effect.
Attorneys for the defense argued
that the matter was one which should
not be brought into the courts, but
should be settled by church authorities
higher than the local church.
They contended that the complaint
failed to set forth whether or not it
was the duty of the trustees of the
church to discharge the pastor and
that before this matter comes into the
courts the plaintiff must show that he
has exhausted every means of set
Ting the difference that lies within the
church organization.
The question, according to the plain
tiff, resolved itself into whether or
not the church membership had the
right to declare the pulpit vacated
They maintained that the pulpit had
been declared vacated by action of the
membership.
Il have said repeatedly, and | say
again, that these discussions tend to
| tear apart the church, and | hope the
good people of the church will not
take sides" said judge Bond in his
ruling. Their Christian duty is to be
above petty jealousies and for the
| benefit of themselves and society in
| general, they should adjust these mat
| ters."

Famous Artists
WILLIAM MERRITT CHASE

The facts of Mr.. Chases's life are
so well known that merely an outline
of them is all that is necessary. He
was born in the town of Williamsburg,
Franklin county, Indiana, in the year
lS49. Later the family moved to IN
dianapolis, where the future painter
became shoe clerk in his fathers
store. There his instinct for painting
found vent upon the rolls of wrapping
paper. He must have made poor
shoe clerk because it was not many
wears before his father allowed hir
to study painting with Benjamin
Hayes in Indianapolis In 1869 ne
went to New York and studied for
two years In the meantime his fam
lily moved to St. Louis and at the end
of the two years he Joined them there
and busted himself with his painting.
His promise so impressed group of
st. Louis men that they raised fund
which made it possible for him to 81
to Europe to study.
The young artist spent considerable
time in Munich and Venice where he
attracted considerable attention with
his work. After some years he ac
cepted a teaching position with the
Art league in New York. From that
year up to 1916, the year of his death,
he was a lasting inspiration to long
succeeding line of students.
Everyone who is familiar with the
Richmond art gallery knows the Self
Portrait painted by Mr.. Chase. The
picture shows Mr.. Chase in his studio
standing before a canvas with paletteI
and brushes in hand. On the table are
bottle, paint rag, and tubes of paint
Behind him one sees a chest of draw
ers, topped by a vase full of paint
brushes and to the right, the sunlight
is streaming in the window The fig
ure dominates the picture. One feels
the unique and unusual personality OF
the man as he himself expressed il
with his own individual style" Of

HITz RECEIVES BIG
OVATION AT RECITAL
IN PYTHIAN TEMPLE

Unbounded enthusiasm from a pack
ed house greeted the artistic and fin
ished recital given by Howard Hitz,
concert bass, at the auditorium of the
Knights of Pythias temple, Tuesday
evening. Simple and dignified in man
ner, he sung with an artistic feeling
unmarried by any touch of pose. He
scored a genuine and deserved sue
cess. His voice is clear, and smooth
toned and it pours forth in pure, liz
uid notes, vibrant with feeling, and
rich in tonal nuances. The singers
diction is perfect, his Italian and Ger
man as faultless spoken as his Eng
hsh.
A group of five of Franz Schubert's
songs, which he rendered in German
formed the most pleasing group on
his program. Indian songs, always
popular, were even more so under the
charm of his Interpretation.
A bond of appreciation which ex
listed between the singer and his audi
ence through the entire program broke
into showers of applause when Mr.
Hitz announced simply that he had
decided to omit the last number on
the program and sing in its stead a
number, "All for You"
Miss Marjorie Beck, one of the most
pianists, assisted the st
Paul singer in his recital Her solos
included "Ballade in c Minor" (Chop
i'm; DeBussey's "Arabesque" anG

CINCINNATI GANG"
TRYING TO HOUND
MISS STONE, PLEA
iRy Associated Press)


NEW YORK, April 5.-Summing up
today at the trial of Miss Olivia M. r.
Stone, graduate nurse. charged with
numbering Ellis G.. Kinkead in Brook
lyn, last August, Edward j. Reilly. de-
Tense counsel charged that "the gang
that rules Cincinnati" the city that
Kinkead once served as corporation
counsel, was trying to swear away the
Life of his client.
In dramatic fashion Mr.. Reilly chal-
le lged Kinkead's widow. who sat
weeping in the courtroom to defy him
that she had been a woman OF the un-
derworld, and dared anyone to take
the stand and testify that his client,
this good southern girl" lied.
/. With all the evidence in, court
opened today on tense scene. Wan
and haggard, after a sleepless night
in Jail, Miss Stone entered the room
weeping.
II put my trust in God, the jury,
and Judge Aspinall," she said to the
reporters as she took her seat.
Shows Strains.
Mrs. Kinkead, who has been an in
terested spectator, throughout the trial
also showed the effects of the strain
When Mr. Reilly brought her name
into his address to the jury she so lost
her composure that for moment she
had to leave the courtroom.
"If the defense comes forward with
a defense of insanity" he said, the
state must prove Miss Stone sane. II
must prove her clear in mind and es
tablish that she knew what she was
doing when she shot Kinkead. This
is one of the most important cases
that has ever been tried in Brooklyn
All the country is watching it. 1t in
wolves every woman in the United
States because it involves the honor
of every woman in the United States
You have the right to assume tina
Their els something behind the scenes
and from the names mentioned here
YOU have the right to assume who l
is that is trying to swear away th'
name of a good southern girl. The
gang which rules Cincinnati, ans
which drove Olivia Stone out has
come down here and is bounding ne
now. It came to damn a womans repu
tation.
Challenges Lawyers.
81 will stop this speech now II Matt
Gormley will go on this stand an'
defy me to prove what she was. hln
keads relatives and friends are SUI
alive, but they stay behind the scenes
