10 more than holding her own In q
world full Of young talented voices.
Part Of the secret 10 her lovable per-
sonality and broad human sympathy.
which give her singing q quality
that must reach human hearts as
long as she sings for human ears
to hear.
She began with a group of three
songs from operas, of which the one
from Tristan and Isolde" was a
great favorite and she was Obliged
to sing an encore. ''Donny Boy"
The second group included Schu-
bert's "Wanderer" and "Heideros-
lein:" Strauss beautiful "Traum
durch die Dammerung." which she
sang wonderfully; a lullaby and a
most beguiling spinning song ar
ranged by Reiman, which she was
obliged to repeat, and then the al
ways lovely aria from Samson and
Della" Again there were insistent
recalls and this time she sang first
the familiar Indian Love Song"
with violin accompaniment and then
by request, "Stiile Nacht." The last
four songs were equally diverse and
equally well sung. but the audience
sat still and demanded more. At
last she came back. Did 1 right
understand? You want The Ros-
ary'?" she asked. We did. and she
lent her lovely round colorful voice
in all its fullness to that always
popular song.
With Nine. Schumann-Heink was
Florence Hardeman, a brilliant
young violinist. who played three
numbers with great technical skill,
fine tone. and intelligent interpreta-
tion. The audience warmly ap-
plauded until she played an encore.
The accompanist. Arthur Loesser.
was splendid, and was rightfully
given a place on the program. He
played three numbers, including
Saint-Saens' Study for the Left
Hand" and the Moskowski "Valse
in T." that is usually played as a
core. Conspicuous on Nine. Schu-

BIG OIL DIVIDEND
TAXFREE, MELLON
RULES IN LETTER
Writes Frear These Funds
Have Already Been
Levied Upon.

The 400 per cent stock dividend
recently declared by the Standard
OIL Company. and similar dividends
being declared by other eorpotas
tions. in the opinion OF Secretary
Mellon are tax free, because there
Is no income to tax"
This is Mr.. Melons official opin-
ion. as set torth late yesterday in
letter to Representative James A.
Frear. OF Wisconsin. who had re-
,quested an opinion on the subject.
Frear Under Misapvrehension,
1T would seem that you are un-
der a misapprehension concerning
the situation as to this so-called
stock dividend" Mr.. Mellon wrote.
Taking for illustration the STAN
dard Oil Company of New Jersey. to
which you refer. the holder of its
stock after he has received the new
certificates or shares. has altogether
no more than he had before, and
therefore, so far as the holder is
concerned, there Is no income to
tax"
Frear also requested Mr.. Mellon
to declare whether Section 22O of
the revenue act Of 1921. which pro-
vides for reaching holders of sur
plus stock when for the purpose of
escaping taxation had been invoked
by the Treasury Department or con-
sidered lin the ease OF any corpora
tions. and whether it has been con-
sidered in reaching the surplus
earnings held by the Standard Oil
Company"
MELONS, Reply.
To this Mr.. Mellon replied: The
Standard Oil Company. believe,
had over $500, 900, 900 worth of sur
plus which was accumulated before
the passage of the income-tax law
in 1913. and the accumulations since
that time have been accretions from
earnings in addition to dividends de-
clared from year to year. but in all
of these years the company was
subject to full taxes upon its earn
ings. In the case Of this company
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. has found no evidence of the
accumulation of surplus beyond the
reasonable needs of the business. l
have gone into this detail as to the
Standard Oil Company. but the same
principles apply generally"

That the mans death was dee to ex-

another woman. came here and in
stituted a search for him. Their ef-
