M. QUENTIN. Springtime: was literally in the air at the. Heilig Theater last night at the concert in which the artists were Miss Bessie Abott, so prano coloratura; Hans Dressel, 'cel list, and Edith Moxom Gray, pianist. No less than three Spring songs were eung. "And why not?" asked Miss Abott afterward. "Isn't it Spring?" The concert was a pleasant success in high-grade musical art, and I was thankful that the prima donna was free from coia, so she sang at her best. So very many visiting singers have lately come to Portland with, their voices in Indifferent condition, possibly due to the rapid climatic changes. In this connection I recall "Wltherspoon and Blauvelt. Miss Abott, whose musical career is associated with the Metropolitan Opera-House. New York City, obtained her first voice lessons there and her art received its finishing touch in Paris. She became a favorite singer both at the Paris Grand Opera and the Opera Comlque. When she first came on the Heilig stage last night, the audience saw a slight young woman, with a fine stage presence and a ready smile. Her voice is a pure coloratura, full and clear, and her trills are artistic. She doesn't have, as yet, the mature style of Melba. but who knows what the years may bring? There's a feeling when Miss Abott sings that she had plenty of voice for her physique and she Is a born actress. She has pretty poses and a way of finish ing a song by throwing out her arms to the audience to make the declamation more marked. This is a fetching" trick, and it wins. Madame Marchesi said the other day: "A woman's voice is an Instrument with three registers. And these registers must be blended together that no break or difficulty 1b possible." Miss Abott is I a living illustration of this theory of voice, which I believe in with all my heart, despite views to the contrary. Her voice is so skilfully "placed" that no brealo Is visible, and last night she sang up to B in altlssimo. Its quality may be described as opulent. The programme was different in spots from the one previously published in trie newspapers. The opening number was not a Schumann novelette, but Grieg's "Wedding Day," and instead of the Gounod "Ave Maria" at the end, Miss Abott sang Arditl's "Parla" waltz. It is a matter of doubt what some of her other numbers were. I was just getting the names from her, when some of her party carried her off to her hotel. Her encores were "Mighty Lak a Rose," "Last Rose of Summer," "Fruhlingslied," Weil, and "Comin' Thro' the Rye." But oh, Miss Abott's Scotch! I wonder if she. knew what she was singing, when she used the tongue of "Bobby" Burns? She actually sang "Every laddie has her lad die"! Edith Moxom Gray, whose residence at present is at Tacoma, was both pianist and accompanist, and she played with the greatest credit to herself. Do you know that Mrs. Gray, who was musically trained in Boston, has only been a pianist three years? She is an inspiration to indolent students. She strives for tone, and then tone, and succeeds. She doesn't indulge in musical fireworks, and she isn't a piano pounder. You gather the inspira tion that Mrs. Gray calls up a spiritual, beautiful art picture, and when she fin ishes a solo she is so absorbed that she gazes into space as if in a dream con jured by the spirit of the composer. Herr Dressel, the 'cellist, has a musi cianly personality but his hair is of the normal length. He plays easily and nat urally, and I noticed once, in a brief wait, that he adjusted his left cuff. His technique is of the solid order, and tone good. The audience seemed to like the concert, for all three artists were cordially re ceived. Encores were numerous. Quite a little party of friends met Miss Abott after the concert, and she occupied the center of the . stage. Someone had no ticed that she had used the French lan guage very skilfully, and remarked that she had given quite a French rendition to "Mighty Lak a Rose." Was Mademoi selle, French? "French?" queried Miss Abott "Not a bit of it. I was born in New York. I am an American." And she seemed to expand with patriotism.

Japanese Sent to Federal Prison. Judge Wolverton, in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, sentenced K. Sumida to pay a fine of $100 and to serve one year at McNeil's Island. Sumida was found guilty in the Federal Court of importing a Japanese woman into this country for Immoral purposes. HEAD OFFICIALS IN CITY PRESIDENT OF STUDEBAKEK BROS. VISITS PORTLAND. Believed Certain That Acting Man ager AViggin Will Succeed the Late Colonel E. M. Brannick. More attention is to be paid to auto mobiles -by the Studebaker Brothers Company. Warerooms and a garage will be established in the central business district and greater efforts will be made to place automobiles in this territory than ever before by the Studebaker peo ple. Frederick 9. Fish, of South Bend, Ind., president of Studebaker Brothers, Northwest, and of the Salt Lake City and San Francisco branch houses of the Studebaker interests as well as being chairman of the executive committee of the parent concern at South Bend, ac companied by Hayden Eames, general manager of the automobile department of the Studebaker Company, spent yesterday- in Portland, leaving last night for Puget Sound. They say that while the company's output of vehicles will not be lessened, more attention will be paid to automobiles than ever before, and ef forts will be particularly directed to bringing, out electric automobiles. The Studebaker Brothers Company is not ye't ready to name a permanent man ager in Portland as successor to Colonel B. M. Brannick, who died during the past year, but will retain Acting Manager Wiggin until a formal appointment is made. The management of Mr. Wiggin has been highly satisfactory to the firm and it is considered certain that within a short time his permanent appointment will be made. "Our firm has been fortunate since the financial stringency first appeared," said Mr. Fish, "for the factories at South Bend have not shut down or lessened their forces to any extent. The Stude baker plant employs about 1300 men and tunrt out 100,000 vehicles during the year. exclusive of automobiles, which are man ufactured in a separate factory. "I find business exceptionally good in the Pacific Northwest, considering the general situation all over the country. Collections have been good out here. We hope soon to add to our salesrooms here by placing our automobiles in a location In the center of the city, where we can show them to better advantage than at present and have better facilities for selling them. Otherwise there will be no change in our present headquarters. "We feel the loss of Colonel Bran nick severly, for he had been with the company for 30 years, and was almost like one of the Studebaker family. I have been making regular annual trips to this territory since 1892 and never have I been more Impressed with the growth of this territory than on the present trip." The Studebaker officials left Portland last night for Seattle and Spokane, where they will look into the condition of the implement trade. Then they will visit Los Angeles and San Diego before re turning to South Bend, via Denver and Kansas .City. Northwestern People in New York. NEW YORK. May 11. (Special.)
