Es- timates are that her voice has made $500,000. Since she is only 22 years old and ; presumably in years to come would earn hundreds of thousands more, she has amazed her concert manager and friends with the statement: “I have made up my mind to retire from the professional stage. By this I mean all operatic appearances as well. My retirement will be perman- ent. “I am going west with my family. ‘The farm might be in California and it might be in Colorado, but I am go- ing to look first in the middle west. I am going to be just like all other farmers. Last appearance will be at Cleveland, where she will sing in “Lucia” May 4. Her engagement with the Metropolitan expires with that appearance. Miss Talley came from Kansas City, Mo., to make a $100,000 debut at the Metropolitan February 17, 1926. A trait of her fellow townsmen came @ augment the thousands who stormed the opera house that night and accorded ‘her thunderous acclaim me.

The board will resume consider- ation of the Guest cage tomorrow afternoon at Jamestown when it will meet in the office of John Knauf, attorney for Dr. Guest. Mr. Knauf will inform them at that time as to whether he will advise Dr. Guest to resign or to fight the ouster Proceedings. At a conference yesterday, Mr. Knauf told the board, after reading the evidence taken by the board at a hearing last week, that such action appeared to be for the good of the institution, the good of the state and the good of his client. Intimates Resignation Knauf said he would not want to advise his client to continue’ working for the board unless it was apparent that he could get along in peace and harmony with it. Speaking for him- self, he said, he would not want to serve a master who ‘did no. wish his services and he salihe felt ‘Dr. Guest might feel the same\way. It was in the hope that Knauf would advise Guest to resign that the board yesterday presented him with a copy of the testimony taken at Jamestown. The board made it clear that it obtained the evidence for its own information but that Knauf could read it in the interests of fair play for his client and with the understanding that he was not to make its contents public. R. B. Murphy, chairman of the board, suggested that he not show the transcript to Dr. Guest in view of Dr. Guest’s temperament and the likelihood that he might “fly into a (AP) — | rage.” A majority of the board said they wanted to get the matter decided quickly so as not to create a bad situ- ation at he institution with the pos- sibility of bickering among the insti- tution employes which might, react Want to Battle Matter to the detriment of the patients.
