Washington, Nov, :a.-Senate democrats have no disposition to obstruct action in the coming ses- ston Of congress on any measure of general importance which can be fairly considered. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority leader, declared today upon his arrival here from his home state.
 He added that the democratic or ganization would cooperate in the passage of the appropriation bills,
 Senator Robinson said it was in cumbent on the republican majority 10 formulate the legislative pro- gram, and that the democrats would not assume the initiative unless public necessity required.

 The indications are" he said, that among the subjects which will receive attention are farm relief leg islation. including cooperative mar keting, the transpor,ation act as 1t relates 10 the adjustment of labor disputes, rate making ard freight schedules. It is doubtful whether sny of these will be brought 10 conciu- sion.
 Tt is anticipated that an effort will be made to dispose ot the Muscle Shoals project, and the policy of completing this protect hy the gov ernment seems 10 be gaining sup port
 Further tax reductions can hardly be accomplished In the i'm mediate future, owing 10 the condi- ton of the revenues, but this sub iect undoubtedly will be reviewed in ;he cary future.

New York Police Taking Drastic Measures to Put Down Latest Outbreak in Racial Warfare.

Hartford, Nov. 29.-The Water- bury police have been asked to main- tain a sharp watch for suspicious acting Chinese on the theory that the murderers Of Lung Foo and Leon Tin, who were shot down in 8 laun- dry at 43 Park street Wednesday eve- ming in tong war which is sweep- ing the country. went to that city immediately following the shooting.
 Chinamen Frightened
 Hartford Chinese are taking no chances in being the next to be favored by visiting guumen, and are keeping close 10 their own places of business, In some of the laun- dries when customers appear the proprietors peer from behind drawn curtains 10 assure themselves that no danger turks outside, One laun- dryman in the north end Is reported to have engaged the services of q husky negro to do guard duty out side the laundry door.
 The police found papers 10 indi- cate that Lung Foo's son had pre- pared to leave the country. The son quarreled with the father and left Hartford, presumably for Boston. Whether he is still in that city has not been learned, but it is certain that he has made no effort to com municate with the Hartford police since the shooting.
 Foo Was Well Armed
 Under a pillow on Lung Foo's bed the police, found q 3S calibre re- volver fully loaded This is taken to mean that Foo had taken precau- tlons 10 guard his life.
 The sedan, in which the three Chinese came to Hartford and in which they made good their escape following the double killing, was not owned by a Chinese, it has been learned. The numbers on the car which were furnished the police were communicated to the police of New York in which state the car had been registered. Investigation disclosed that the car was owned by white man who lived not in tha city, but in smaller town upstate. The investigation is being continued, however, 10 ascertain whether the car actually got into other hands than those of the rightful owner over the holiday period,
 City Barred tO Chinese
 Strange Chinese will not be per- mitted in Hartford during this period of tenseness due 10 the tong war, unless they can give satisfae- tory reasons for being in the city. A careful check is being kept of all Chinese in the city and strangers in town will he picked up and taken to Headquarters for questioning.

PUCCIN1 0pFRATIC COUD 'uuo0 'pIo!lIrH I,UM ''1deG 'lApK oo" T elelS lno1oauuoJ His Works Include "The Girl Of

Suffered From Throat Infection-- Famous Musician Came from Family Noted for Musical Talents Very Popular with Americans.

By The Associated Press
 Brussels, Nov. ?9.-Giacomo Puc- cini, famous operatic composer, died at noon today from a throat infec- ton following an operation.
 Coming from family which for a century and a half produced an uninterrupted line of famous musi- clans, 1t was not surprising that Gia- como Puccini early showed signs Of precocious musical talents.
 A Family of Artists.
 The great-great-g grandfather of Puccini. born In 1712, wrote church music that vas highly respected and was the master Of Guglielmi. Ills son, Antonio, born in 1747, was less famous as a composer than as a the ortet, while Domenico, the third In line, born in 1771, attained distinc- ton as a church composer but was more famous for his operas. Ills son, Michele, father of Giacomo, won fame for his compositions of sacred music, which were admired through out north Italy. Upon his death in 1884, he was honored by the com- position Of requiem by Pacini.
 Pucinni was one of the few com posers of recent times whose opera successes were numerous and last ing. AS to numbers he Is matched only by Massenet, but so far as fre- quency of performances Is concern ed, the Italian composer surpassed Maasenet, in America at least. Glulio Gatti- -Ca.ssazza- general manager of the Metropolitan opera house, once said Puccini was the most popular composer with Americans.
 Poor In His Youth.
 Tn his youth, Puccini was an artist whose riches were measured in terms Of talent rather than in cold money, He lived in an attic, where he found the problem of bare exis- tence more baffling than those Of harmony and counterpoint.
 When Puccini had learned all that that the schools of his native Lucca could teach him, his name won him a pension from the queen of Italy. This enabled him to enter the Milan conservatohy. His chiei instructor was Amilcare Pochielli, al l whose suggestion he undertook thu composition of "Ls' VilIt," one ac opera This was so successful that 1t was later revised and expanded into three acts.
 Some Famous Works.
 One of the unfortunate efforts Of Pucclni was his Edgar" produced at the Scala in 1889. Although he remained silent nearly four years i the composer compensated for thit failure with his "Manon Lescaut. : i This and his later works, including La Boheme," La Tosca," Madame Butterfly" and The Girl of the Col den West" proved such popular sue.

1 thought Of Jane Brown. She is
full Of book knowledge, but she
hasn't many friends. She knows all
about the history of Greece. but she
is shy in a company OF her contem-
poraries.
Her mother expects her to play
when she IS through high school.
But she won't know how, and it
will be hard to learn then.
And I thought Of Mrs. Blake's
daughter-Jo, they call her. She
never can remember the dates Of
Greek wars, but she is liked by
young and old. She has enough
book knowledge to carry her
through, and she will acquire more
as she goes along. Her mind is
trained to observe and learn. as the
result OF her taking part in many
activities.
While Jane is learning only from
books, 10 is learning from life as
we'll.
"All work and no play" applies
to Jane az well as to Jack Learn

portant. in the long run, as learn

to no avail. Please let me know what you
would do in my place.
WONDERING.
Follow your mother@ wishes, and
let her see what would happen if you
did nothing but study for any length
Of time. You probably would grow
peaked and headachy. and very sori-
Gus. You might learn much that is
in the books. but you would lose
the knowledge Of people and life that
is so important.
However, my dear, when you do
convince your mother, don't go to
the other extreme and do nothing
but play. If you are not careful.
you will over-rate the Importance Of
beauty and popularity with boys.
Your mother is trying to keep you
from doing this. Unless you can
show her you have enough balance
Of character to keep from being
spoiled. l cannot blame her for
restraining you as she does.
