EMMA oTERo.s RECITAL

A young and charming Cuban singer
appeared in recital at Polls Theater
yesterday afternoon-Emma Otero, pro-
tege of the President of Cuba. she
made her debut here earlier this season
IN joint morning program. YESTERDAY
was her first full solo" recital in the
Capital. This singer has beautlful
voice of definite coloratura quality, ana
she has a lovely trill. She sings
naturally and with evident sense of tone
values. Occasionally, especially on her
hnal high notes, she is inclined to sacrl-
flee tone beauty and roundness for the
dramatic gesture, but usually she sings
her high tones with her head tilted In
the fashion to place those tones
correctly.
Since she was heard here earlier Miss
Otero has improved decidedly in con-
trolling tendency to give shrill, hard
tones. giving instead soft approach to
her brilliant climax notes and then
swelling on them in true bel canto
fashion. She gives one the impression
that withiN few years she will doml-
nate her particular field and the laurels
that Cali Curci so recently put In
moth balls and which Marion Talley
turned her back on when she took to
raising chickens on her farm may find
a gifted wearer in the person Of this
pretty and vivacious singer.
Miss Otero has, in addition to all the
qualifications for successful coloratura,
also very definite sense of the dra-
matte and the ability to put real feeling

ROME, italy, November 4.-One the
eve of his departure from Rome for
Geneva, AMBASSADOR Hugh S. Gibson
put forward a fresh proposal for COM
plete Franco-I Italian naval agreement,
according to reliable sources here.
It is evident now that no possible
accord can be reached between the two
countries If their naval differences are
re-examined along the lines hitherto
followed, that is, the attempt to concili-
ate the French claim with naval superb
ority over Italy with the latter's claim
Of naval parity with the former.
The new proposal brushes aside these
antagonistic claims, 1t Is learned, on the
following lines:
France, without any reference to the
London treaty or Italy IN particular
would formally state It's naval needs
until the 1896 building program, with
out assuming obligations to carry out
the program in its entirety. Italy would
make similar declarations and announce
its building program without reference
to France. Thus both the Mediterran-
can powers would tacitly agree not to
raise the problem of naval superiority
or parity before 1886 without renounc-
ing their respective, long-fought claims.
italians express belief that Italy will
declare its intention to build the same
tonnage as France, while the latter
might insist on safeguarding clause
which would afford her 100000 tons
superiority.
Mr.. Gibson left Rome this afternoon.
He had lis last conversation with For
eign Minister Dino Grand yesterday.

The tangled political currents
of another Nationwide campaign
met at the polls today in an cleo
ton which stirred popular inter-

some localities and left it droop-

Fair weather over nine-tenths
of the country helped to swell at

local contests had been warmest
for Governor, Senator, Repre-
sentative in Congress or minor
State Office, but failed to produce
an impressive turnout in the many
districts having but nominal dis
putes to decide.

national total would fall far be-
low the record set in the Hoover

Response Is Spotty.
Even in the States which have been
swept by the severest political activity
of the year the response of the elec-
torate was sp0tty. Some sections OF
Massachusetts reported early voting
which approached 1928. Other polling
places in the same State found the
early vote surprisingly small. Ohio ana

New Ashford Returns First.
New Ashford, Mass, which prides it,
self on voting its entire population
earlier than any other election district
in the country, came in with the first
returns. Its vote showed the customary
overwhelming Republican majority, lit
tie changed from the total of two years
ago. when the Democrats carried the
State for President and Senator but lost
the governorship to the Republicans.
Chicago, Detroit and some other lake
cities voted in a heavy fog during the
morning. In Philadelphia ana SOUTH
