Gorton Reel, deposed inst year as State Buperintendent of Highways, was to- @ay brought into the Osborne investiga- tion of Highway affairs while the con- polit of 4 road between Chatham and Rider's Mills, Columoii syounty, was under consideration. Pre- . Witnesses had testified that Con- L, L. Mellua of New York had able to have the contracct altered | a uld save approximately $10,000, eels denied yesterday that the alte: qemuion meant a saving to him. “etLester J. Bashford, Road Superin- Mendent of Columbia County, testified that the specifications of the ms road wi changed on the sup- 7 ition that it would save the county Awthousands of dollars. As it turned >ut, aMhe testified, cniy $460 of the saving was Xeturned into the county treasury. ™ :Bashford said A.

In this letter, which ‘wae placed in evidence, Culver declared inte change was desired by Mr. Reel. “*@8ellus had bid on the contract, the said, knowing the terms could he State Highway Department, pro- @eced her stenographic notes in corrob- eration of the accuracy of the record hearing held before Highway Com- Carlisle last November. tk record shows that on The occa- ~alon in question Contractor Mellus feetified that there were various ou! ‘s@toppinga of stone in a State road Waih by him in Columbia County.

By Charles Darhton. 'O gO back to last night, there, !n the back row of the Winter Garden, was Lydia Kyasht. Stop- Ping at this point, 1 am with you, for {f you pause to pronounce the lady in her own language you will go up like the rooket you aren't and the stick you are. (I'm simply trying to make you understand I am with you, come what may.) To start with, straight acrors the house sat Mr. Frank O'Malley, who has @ very bad habit of not rising with the morning Sun. A bit more in ad- vance was Mr. Acton Davies, curling his ideas; further to the front Mr. Law- rence Reamer almost lost his eye- Glasses lovking for his hat; and last, but | Rot least, Mr. Alan Dale looked like an | understudy of a suburban train con- ductor. I cite these horrible examples not only to show what late hours cer- jtain gay dogs keep, but to emphasise | the fact that the latest and greatest | gift of the London Empire—meaning a music hall, no leas!~was under seve: conaideration. For my part I was more than glad to take a back seat with the latest Lydia. There is no forgetting, you must remember, the Lopoukowa of the same first name, who turned the Winter Garden into spring @ year or two before the Statue of Liberty began taking tango steps into the bay. “The whole world is dance-mad,” eal the latest Russian dancer out of her Russian furs, “A few years ago t was the cake walk, now it ts the turkey trot.” Bhe closed her eyes as only Russi women can draw the blinds, but th one thing about her that struck me most of all was tho alr of the artiste. “I have danced since childhood,” she said, with @ simplicity that left nothing more to be said. “You understand?” She looked up out of St. Petersburg, {t seemed to me, and laid a cold hand tpon mine. In such « moment, as "The Bohemian Girl" would have it, you're bound to remember somebody, And just across the column, so to print, a dancer who has had London at her highly-trained feet for five years, Is worth more than the glance you get from her eye. I can't begin to give the Russian accent I heard, but here's the talk as it went: merica is a dance in {teelf, The tango is danced in London, but Amer- ica makes it universal. For nine years was in school, and for seven years I danced as part of the Imperial balle but in all that time New York ls the greatest dancing town I have seen. 80 far as dancing is concerned, all one sees American I was nine years in school and n years in the Imperial ballet, Can you ask more?” I couldn't--I was @umb. There re- mained only Lydia Kyasht—and she bur- ried off to dress herself for the dance you will see to-night, through Europe idea eee nor Murphy's Mister De; Miss Mary Frances Murphy of N | 328 t oirty-fourth street, sister o: ‘the Very Rev, Mar, William G.

Commissioner Davis Would Also | Permit Women to Paint City Prison Buildings. Commissioner of the Department of Correction Katherine B. Davie told the Men’e Club in All Soul's Church last night, in @ talk about her work at the Bedford Reformatory for Women, a story about an inmate of the institution who may possibly become a noted singer ome day. Mise Davia had been speaking of the policy of the inatitution to develop every talent and cc.pability for good which a girl had. As an instance she told of the dlacovery of the einger. “A girl was commitied to the re- formatory about @ year ago,” she said. “Ghe was about nineteen years old, and defore she had been with us very long Mrs, Weston, the musical inatru.- tor, discovered that she had a very clear, sweet voice, Mrs. Weston his Since given her special training when- ever it @ possible. When 8 paroled the institution will make an effort to place her with people who can supervias her musical education and who will encourage her in continuing it. ‘Miss Davis said that at Bedford she let the women do as much of the bulld- ing and painting as possible.
