WAGNER RI'SkED
ALL FOR LOVE

The death Of Cesina Wagner
wife Of the famous composer, on
Tuesday at the age Of 90. in Ger.
many. recalls her exciting romance
with Richard Wagner.
The love affair Of Wagner and
Cosin1a, who was the daughter
Of Franz LiSzt, came when the
composer was over so and his
sweetheart 26. Both had been
married, though Wagner's wife
had left him and died four years
later. s..
The writing Of Wagner's great
est composition, the Ring" music
occurred at the same time as his
awakening romance with CoSina.
With her as his inspiration. after
his unhappy marriage, Wagner
poured out his soul into his now
celebrated music.
Cosilna had been married to
Won Bulow, Wagner'S brilliant
conductor. Wagner, known as
the mad composer" got himself
into financial difficulties due to
his gambling proclivities and
nearly lost the patronage Of the
King Of Bavaria. The strife that
ragged over Europe in the middle
Of the last century brought many
heaYt-breaking trials and diSap-
pointmentS to Wagner. CoSima's
father, Liszt, wasted very little
love on the mad composer" and
strongly irnplored his daughter
and then son.in.law to forsake
Wagner. But in reply Won Bulow
said, II cannot kill the master" I"
and continued his loyalty to his
chief. ,...
In the midst Of all his diff.
cultieS, a boy king assembled the
BaVaIian throne who had been
won by Wagner'S music. Wagner.
who had, in the midst of his
troubles, disappeared, was hunted
several weeks and finally found
by the kings secretary in StuCt-
CART. The secretary bore the
royal request for Wagner to re-
turn to Munich and continue his
compositions.
From that moment the tide
turned in favor of the mad
composer" simultaneously with
the receiving of the royal patron
age, he began one of the worlds
most celebrated romanceS. Both
he and CoSima were prepared to
sacrifice everything for each
other, and Wagner even risked
losing the favor Of the court. For
the greater part of 10 years. 1864
to 1874 the fate of the composer
hung in the balance.
How long the romance was
going on before Won Bulow dis
covered it is not known. He first
learned Of its existance by acci
IDENTIFY discovering a letter from
Wagner to CoSima. When he
found out that Isolde. was not
his daughter, but that Of his wife
and Wagner he re- used to give
Cosima Q divorce for two years
and ordered her to return to hel
father in Rome. She refused
stayed with Wagner. received hel
divorce In July, 1870 and mar
ried the composer in August o.
that year.
After the composers deatf
Cosima continued to hold thC
famous Beiruth Music Festivals
which Wagner founded.

WAR ON PARKER
STUDIED

Following a vigorous protest
from organized labor, Senate
judiciary subcommittee today was
studying the judicial record OF
Judge John j. Parker Of North
Carolina, under fire as an ap-
pointee to the United States Su-
preme Court.
The immediate fate Of Judge
Parker lay in the hands of the
three Senators on the Subconl-
mittee, who heard representatives
of the American Federation ol
Labor. the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, and the Peoples LegiSla-
tive Service protest against his
confirmation. The subcommittee
will report its findings to the full
Judiciary Committee proba bly
next week. Senator Overman
CD of North Carolina is chair
man of the subcommittee, which
includes Senators Borah (R0 Of
Idaho and Hebert (R0 Of Rhode
Island.
Organized labor opposed Judge
Parker's confirmation on the
ground that he had placed prop
erty rights above human rights"
Whatever recommendations the
subcommittee and full committee
ultimately make. the appoint
ment will be fought on the floor
of the Senate.
The nominee probably will be
confirmed after a fight.

AL ASKA TREE
 CONES WANTED
 FOR RSTATESEED
Long Bell Representative Arranges for Buy
 ing Agencies

To arrange for the collection of cones of yellow cedar, spruce, hem lock and other lumber producing trees of Alaska is the mission to this part of the Territory of J. D, L. Drake, representative of the Long-Bell Lumber Company Of Longview, Wash. The cones arc wanted for seeding tracts of ground in the tree nursery and reforesting tract of the company at Ryder wood, near Longview.
 v have arranged with the Behr- ends Mercantile Company to act az agent of the Long-Bell Company in the purchase of the cones," said MT. Drake. At the Behrends store, there are samples of the cones de- sired, and any information wanted by collectors can be obtained there. Yellow cedar cones, especially, are wanted. Four dollars a bushel will be paid for them. I have cruised about 500 miles of the Southeast Alaska coast, including the north and the west coast of Prince O! Wales Island. The indications fol a good crop Of yellow cedar cones this year. Persons intending to collect yellow cedar cones should begin looking for them late in Au gust, and then ought to get in touch with the Behrends store.
 "The spruce crop of cones should be good next year. It was heavy three years ago, and the heavy yields seem to occur in four-year cycles.
 "The Long-Bell Company buys thousands of sacks of cones of vari- ous kinds of trees in the States every year. It is reforesting 10000 acres of logged off land near By derwood.
 q think any industrious man that undertakes the collection of the cones in Southeast Alaska will make fair wages at the work"
 MT. Drake has arranged for an agency at Wrangell to purchase cones collected. in that neighbor- hood, and will also arrange for an agency at Ketchikan.
