"Quick, mother, it's a holdup," she

NEW YORK, Feb II. = American

SENATE AGAINST
USING INDIANS
CASH ON BRIDGE
1pn Dispatch A. P. wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Provisions
for the construction of bridges in
Arizona and New Mexico at the par
tial expense Of the Navajo Indian
tribe were stricken from the first
deficiency bill today by the senate
They were contained in the house
draft and the differences will be
fought out in conference.
The main proposal was for bridge
across the Colorado River near Lees
Ferry. This bridge, linking with a
national highway through Utah ana
Arizona, would cost 100000 and the
Navajo Indians would pay half the
cost out of their tribal funds in the
treasury.
The other proposition was for a
bridge near Bloomfield, n M, to cost
$13,24O, half the cost to be absorbed
by the Indians.
Construction of both bridges had
been authorized by previous acts Of
congress.
Senator Cameron, republican, Ari-
zona, led the fight against the pro-
posal to tax Indians for the Lees
Ferry bridge. He declared the tribe
had only $4,000 in the treasury and
that the two proposed payments
would practically exhaust the fund.

and the name of Marion Talley, Of

on the roll of prima donnas
AS the curtain fell on the second
act Of Verdi's "Rioletto5" the applause
broke out again, and the audience
called the youngest prima donna ten
times before the footlights before
they would let her go. The huge
auditorium resounded with the shouts
of "bravo" and "Taney."
The opera house threw open it's
doors early to the thousands who
had fought for seats to witness the

the youngest American girl ever TO
make her debut on it's stage.

faith in the girl whose youthful tai
ent they had underwritten since she
was 16. they had come from their

musical education, made possible her
debut at 19-the youngest American
prima donna since 1859, when Adelina,
Patti sang "Lucia' at the age of 16

Miss Talley will have the unique
distinction of selling out two operas
in advance to a public most of which

The house tonight had been sold
out for some time, and SPECTATORS
were asking $50 a seat. AS soon as
it was announced that the girl star
would play the title role in Lucia
at a special washington birthday mat
inee, the house was again sold out.
By O'Clock a line more than two
blocks long had formed around the
opera house. as scores prepared toI
storm the doors when they were
thrown open to "standees." The first

was closely followed by two women.
