3KS WILSON'S PROBE .
OF "FARE" ART CHARGE
Rosenthal Notifies Director That
Subordinate questions ills
Honesty as Artist
HICKS REMAINS "MUM"
Director of Tubllo Safety Wilson today
as called upon liy Albert Rosenthal, por
trait palnter,to exert his authority to force
Robert C. Hicks, a subordinate In tho de
partment, to. back up his charso that some
ef the French portraits painted by Mr.
Rosenthal for Independence Hall were
"fakes."
In a letter to Director Wilson, Mr. Rosen
I thai said that after damaging his reputa
tion Hicks had not answered a letter de
manding nn explanation. In solus over
Hlcks's head, the artist Intimated that
pressure should bo brought to bear upon
Hicks to make good his charge, or to gle
the source of his Information. Tho charge,
fie said, reflected upon men and women of
prominence, and brought Into dlsreputo the
entire historical collection In tho hall.
Hicks was acting chief of the Bureau of
City Property during tho Illness of Chief
Cummlskey at tho tlmo he gave tho Infor
mation to tho Civil Service Commission that
the curator of Independence Hall. Wllford
Jordan, had "conclusive pioof" that there
were spurious copies of originals In tho
collection of Fj-ench portraits which were
painted by Mr. Rosenthal.
Mr, Rosenthal's letter to Director Wilson
was as follows:
Dear Sir Mr. Robert C, Hicks, of
your department, I am Informed, made
serious charges ngalnst mo before tho
Civil Serxlco Commission In relation to
my portraits In tho Independence Hall.
A letter addressed to Mr. Hicks on
Sunday elicited no rosponce. Aside
from tho great personal harm It has
done mo and Ib doing my reputation. It
reflected on men and women of tho
highest position and Intelligence In our
community, and, furthermore, brought
Into disrepute tho entire collection In.
Independence Hall and affected the good
name of our city, which has this his
torical collection In charge. Tho re
flection carries especially, I under
stand, to the French group of portraits
I placed there and Involves rather an
International matter of good faith
It Is due me that Mr. Hicks produce
the "conclusive evidence" he has spoken
of before the commissioners.
Believe me, very truly yours.
ALBERT ROSENTHAL.
Although Hicks has not nnswe.red the
letter which Mr. Rosenthal sent him, he ad
mitted privately that he had "nothing on"
tho artl6t. He refused, however, to give
the source of his charges. At the tlmo he
made them he was ex-offlclo a member of
the Art Jury.
The Art Jury Is scheduled to meet today
to consider the charges against the por
traits, which were authenticated by tho In
dependence Hall Commission. The Art
Jury, It Is understood, has had tho "evi
dence" for some time, but the nature of It
has been carefully guarded In spltf of
"leaks" to tho effect that Mr. Rosenthal
did not copy some of the pictures from
originals In France.
EDWIN EVANS OFFERS
"ALL-AMERICA" PROGRAM
Many Songs at Twelfth Annual Re
cital, Given for First Time
in Philadelphia
Edwin Evans's courageousness In pro-fram-maklng
matches admirably his vocal
excellences and Interpretative superiorities
and that Is perhaps the combination of
causes which has achieved the result of a
considerable and loyal clientele for his
annual recitals. The twelfth of these was
liven last evening in Wltherspoon Hall
under the auspices of tho University 'Ex
tension Society, and program and artist
attracted one of the season's largest recital
audiences.
Partly In honor of the day, partly be
cause Mr. Evans is a zealous mlssloner for
the cause of the native composer, the pro
gram offered was "all American," at least
so far as tho music was concerned. Trie
lyrics ranged In nuthorshlp from Tom
Moore to Rablndranath Tagore, and took In
Thomas Lovcll Beddoes, W. E. Henley and
John Masefleld for across the water, and
inch Americans as Sidney Lanier, Frank
L. Stanton and Walt Whitman.
Mr. Evans's decade of recltal-glvlng has
taught him a number of "pointers" and he
has profited by the lesson. His programs
always have a unity in their structure:
there is some binding element, either of a
definite or, as last night, in the specializa
tion of composers, of a general nature. He
la generous in the number of his offerings,
but never so superabundant as to overtax
the attention of his hearers and turn enter
tainment Into boredom. He does not- try
to Illustrate the entire history and art of
song In an hour and a half, but conceives
a recital' program as an art form, with be
ginning, middle and end, with nicety of
election of parts and due proportion and
, variety In their arrangement. In these
regards Mr. Evans's programs aro models
for recital-givers. Tho things ho doesn't
do would be, if observed and followed, a
positive asset to many of our young artists.
Structurally tho "all-American program"
oonslsted of eighteen numbers. Tho physical
analysis is of interest. Two groups were of
five numbers, and two of fqur each. Each
group had such alternations of time re
quired for Individual numbers as to make
the temporal group periods about the game
duration. Of course, this was not done by
the stop-watch method, but in nn Irregular
manner, which prevented formality. Each
group had tho leavening effect of one num
ber in lighter vein.
Out of the eighteen numbers listed eleven
were asterisked as first time In public here,
Buch introduction of npvel pieces is always
Interesting, even though one does not sub
scribe to the creed of the propagandist. All
that is new Is not. good, by a long shot.
Jingoism would have It otherwise, but It is
pot genuinely patriotic to claim everything
In sight for what Is designed for homo con
sumption. Mr. Evans's experiments were made with
xcellent discrimination, and though merits
varied there was not one unworthy number.
IJIs voice was in tho best of form, which
means that the tones .were produced purely
and accurately, and colored by the mood
of the song, and his faculty of interpreta
tion touched many feelings and communi
cated many emotions.
John Alden Carpenter's 'The Day Is No
More" was given' with Impressive power,
and had a beautiful accompaniment from
Stanley Addlcks, the soloist's long-time ac
companist. The Carpenter noyelty, "May
the Maiden," showed tho young Chlcagoan
In rollicking vernal mood. J. II. Rogers's
Mttlng of Masefleld's "Sea Fever" proved a
Piece of poignant composition. Other sheer

Acquiring "Hallux Val

ings Versus Humanity
By M'LISS
The American woman, according to a
man who knows her better than, perhaps,
she knows herself, is suffering from a dan
gerous disease.
Tojiepeat the exact words of tho expert's
diagnosis, her trouble Is called "damn non
sense," and It's aggravated by a germ, the
name of which cannot be found In any
medical treatise, but which Is expressively
known as "God-help-lng-ness."
Dr. Richard H. Harte,' one of the most
fearless interviewees to whom I have ever
spoken, a man who knows women psycho
logically, physiologically and pathological
ly a large' number of them compose the
clientele who are his patients who has
Ideas about them and Isn't afraid to ex'
press them, told me that the American
woman Is In a sad state. She is practicing
an extravagance that Is nothing short of
criminal, he said, and encouraging a self
indulgence that threatens to undermine her
character and cause the decadence of the
race.
"STOP THE PIFFLE." HE SAYS
"Let them stop this damn nonsense," he
sold ferociously, "and do some redl think
ing, some rational thinking. Let thr.v.
tear themselves away from the trivialities
that occupy their minds 'and come to the
realization that tho.world Is passing through
a very crucial, a desperately serious period.
"On Fifth avenue the other day," he con
tinued, "I saw some stockings In a shop
window that cost $260. They were not
warm, they were not even beautiful, but
I know some women who will buy those
stockings.
"Look at the women bundled up In hun
dreds of dollars of unhealthy furs" he
pointed an excoriating finger at my modest
black fox "while the women and children
In Belgium, Serbia and Poland are starving
for food. If every woman gave a little
something from her dress money allow
ance this situation could be relieved. There
are 100,000,000 people in the United States.
One hundred million dollars spent in Bel
gium, Serbia and Poland would do untold
good. I do not say that every person
could give a dollar, but things could bo
so 'proportioned that this sum, if each per
son were willing to make a very slight sacri
fice, could easily be obtained.
"But no; the American woman dawdles
around In hotels, drinking and dancing and
wearing extravagaht clothes. TShe does not

women in America than In any other land."
Asked to expatiate and explain the uoa
helplng" woman. Doctor Harte said she was
the' type who tho minute anything dis
turbed the smoothness of her existence
threw her hands up In the air, with the
exclamation, ''God help me!"
"The French woman," he continued, "is
the finest creature the Lord ever made.
She Is the best housekeeper, the best wife,
the best mother. he can make a dollar
go further than any other woman. Enough
food is thrown Into the garbage can of tho
average American family to feed a well-to-do
French household. '
CAN'T SPELL THRIFT
"The American woman does not know
how to spell the word 'thrift much less
know Its meaning. She has little proficiency
In anything." Doctor Harte slammed a
pencil across his desk, shook his fist at hi
feminine secretary, who seemed, used to his
tirades, and then at me, and continued. ,
"She is asleep. She needs to be awakened
by something big, vital."
"Do you mean by war?" I Interposed,
i "There are worse things than war," he
said savagely. "The present state of mind
of our American woman Is worse, but I
sincerely hope that she is not so far gone
that tho nation would have to shed Its
blood to' save her.
There Is some good In her somewhere,
some stuff (hat really counts, but she'a
smothering It." he added, more tamely.
"The American man Is not entirely
blameless. The American woman coddles
herself too much, fosters too much her

man aids her by assisting with the cod-
dllng. I we aon i pun "w j ""

Dr. Harte's Criticisms
of the American Woman
THE American woman is suffering
from a severe case of "damn
nonsense."
This is aggravated by a frightful
epidemic of "God-hclping-ness."
She spends 250 for her hosiery
while the women nnd children of
Europe starve and die.
She does not know how to spell
"thrift."
Her fondness for being coddled
and the American man's fondness
for coddling her aro helping in her
ruin.
sciousness of our shortcomings ho was still
grumbling through his mustache:-
"They don't ex en know what kind of
shoes to put on their feet," was what I
heard. "In a little while we'll have a natlort
of deformed women. Already every other
woman that you meet In tho street Is suf
fering rom hallux valgus."
This sounded i rally alarming, much more
so than "damn nonsense" or mere "God-help-lng-ness,"
but consultation with the
medical dictionary showed "hallux valgua'
to be notnlng more serious than "incipient
bunion."
SHIPWRECKED COUPLE
UNITED AFTER DECADE
Wife and Child in One Lifeboat,
Husband in Another Meet
in Union Railway Station
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb, 23 Separated
eight years ago In a shipwreck, Herman
Jacobs, thirty-seven, and his wife nnd child
were reunited In tho Union Station today
under circumstances surpassing fiction. The
strnngo story of their reunion carried a
a touch of the tale of "Enoch Arden."
The Jacobs were married In permany ten
years ago. They started for America when
their baby was a year old. Their ship was
wrecked. Tho wife and baby went away
In one lifeboat and Jacobs In another. They
never met again and each thought the' other
lost
Entering the Union Station today Jacobs
saw a little girl standing near the candy
stand, gazing wistfully at tho array of
sweets. He bought her a sack of candy
and was patting her head when a. woman
rushed up.
"Herman," she shouted, and threw her
self Into his arms.
In tears the missing wife told Jacobs that
she had married a man named O'Connor
In Matton, 111., several years ago. No chit
dien have been born to this marriage and
she promised to have It annulled. Jacobs
was en route to New York from Los An
geles. PREPAREPNESS WOMEN

SUFFRAGE GOWN READY
FOR DEBUT AT BAZAAR

This Afternoon
Two snaps and presto I the snappy suf

It Is characteristic of the optimism of tho
suffragists that they expect tho vote almost
nny minute, nnd that n part of their pre
paredness now consists In the evolving of a
gown that Is buttonless and some think
beautiful which can bo jumped Into In the
fraction of a second nnd which has been
designed to tnke no time from that which
should ho used for the exercise of dearly
acquired civic duties.
The new gown Is In hiding nt this minute
up at Horticultural Hall, where the sec
ond annual Keystone baiaar. held under the
nusplces of the Woman's Suffrnge party, Is
In progress. At 4:30 this afternoon It will
be brought out nnd dlsplnjed on a living

"slip-over" skirts nnd "sllp-lnto" Jackets

JUVENILE JOYS IN
OPERATIC SANDWICH
Triple Bill at Metropolitan Brings
Out Charmed and Charm
ing Children
George Washington probably would have
admitted that high standards must not bo
demanded of music when holiday mirth Is In
the air, nnd lots of children In tho audience.
So yesterday's matinee by the Philadelphia
Operatic Society may bo put down first as a
success of occasion, nnd second as nn at
tempt In art Tho lavishly long bill that
kept n Metropolitan-full of auditors there
till six o'clock nad fine points. There was
an exceptionally spirited "Hansel nnd
Ciretel," even If the program did make
Composer Humperdlnck "nthelbert" Instead
of Kngelbert. There was a sweet and short
"Dallet of Uutterflles." There was n de
lightful Interlude when Dr Enoch W. Pear
son (quite tho lilt of the nfternoon In him
self) told the youngsters tho story of the
two llttlo Herman kiddles nnd the vile
witch who was turned Into gingerbread by
an operatlcnlly Just fate. And there was,
alas ' a feeble stab at Victor Masse's "The
Marriage of Jeanette."
Let the woes follow the pleasures. "Han
pel," which hasn't been sung here since the
unmerltedly disastrous engagement of the
Roston Company, had plenty of go and
swing and animation. Though It fell afoul
of some of the errors properly condoned in
nonprofessional ventures. It struck the right
nttltude of Juvenile fiollc and fun. It was
sung ably enough by the Misses Salmons
and Harrison, and Miss Hlssey, who took
two parts with admirable Intelligence Mr
J.eps led his orchestra with tho care nnd

work, ana a nme moro sprlghtllness than

blame them a bit If they nodded somewhat
nnd longed for the air when Jeanette was
being married. Such uncertain nuptials
were surely never before solemnized. A
tenor suddenly aflllcted with aphasia, a so
prano who loses the pitch, In spite of some
clever floratura work, and n visible stage
manager are calculated to make any In
tellectual inrant curl the lip of surprise.

"fat" roles for tenor and soprano. Per
haps some day the Operatic Society will give
Its ambitious young folk n chance at
"Konlgsklnder." But they will need many
rehearsals. These valuable props to a per

MUSIC GIVES A WIDER
VIEW, SAYS STOKOWSKI
Impression That It Is Not a Manly Art
Is Wrong, Ho Asserts
There Is r f.ilso Impression that music Is
not a manly nrt nnd too many American
men show a decided lack of appreciation of
music, according to Leopold Stokowskl, di
rector of the Philadelphia Orchestra, who
addressed members of tho Alumni Associa
tion of tho t'nlxerslty of Pcnnsylanla nt
tho Hotel Adelphln.
"It Is only too true,". Mr. Stokowskl said,
"that ninny of the men wlm attend concerts
nro more entertained by a fat Herman play
ing tho bass horn than they aro by muslo
rendered by tho orchestra.
"As a rulo when I meet a mnn and ask
him how ho likes music, ho says- 'Well,
my wlfo takes me to your concerts and
she enjoys them very much. "
Mr. Stokowskl said thero Is nn Impres
sion that music Is not a manly art. "This
Impression exists In many quarters." he
said "t'nriuestlonably that Is a wrong
view to hold
"Music expresses the loftiest Ideals In a
material manner, and nny man Is a better
man who can appreciate real music."
