Bubbling Love Letters Are
Produced by Miss Frances

. (Hearat Xw by Longest Leased Wire.) .:
New TorkNov. 21. To further sub
stantiate ber claim in her suit for $100,
.000 breach of contract which she has
started1 against Oscar Hammersteln,
Miss Frances Lee gave ' out excerpts
from some of the loiters which ' she
claims Mr. Hammersteln wrote her dur
ing the 10 years and more of the ac
quaintanceship ' as ,' impresario and
singer.-- In the story told last night.
Miss Lee claims damages In - that she
says that Mr. Hammersteln ,by his
promises kept her from securing a place
In grand opera. ' . "
' Mr.' Hammersteln went into details
today and said that one little word cov
ered everything In the suit. ;
"It Is the word 'camaraderie said
Mr. Hammersteln. "I wrote the letter
published, as I have written thousands
of similar ones. My business Is to force
singers.-- '- ,,.
. "Between us -must 'exist that cama
raderie. They are like spoiled children,
often, you sea You have to coddle and
encourage them and to force their latent
talent, and often expend money to de
velop their voices. If I handled them
tenderly, bid them go out Into the woods
and. sing loudly, why. It does not point
to anything but my' Interest in their
success, that Is all. It all comes from
my power of success-camaraderie be
tween manager and singer,
i ...... ; : He Encourages Them AIL
"I. encourage, them all. as I did Miss
Lee. She was not singled out for pref
erence. Once I thought she would be
great. Because I can't make them all
stars, then I am sued. She may have
other letters from me. I am looking for
a good singer, whether she has letters
or not. Miss Lee did have a good Voice,
but It did .not Improve; that was the
trouble. - I am not the defendant In . a
divorce case, am IV asked the Impre
sario, a he 'closed' his talk and went
on directing the arrangement of the
scenery behind the curtain at the Man-!
hattan opera-house tonight.
Miss Lee said she did not care to dis
cuss the case. -She said, In addition to
singing for Mr. Hammersteln, she had
carea ror mm ana nursea mm on sev
eral occasions when he was 111, and all
this took up her time and kept her from
pursuing her studies. When . she was
shown Mr.- Hammerxteln's Interview, In
Which he said he had written a thou
sand similar letters, and: It was necea
sary to coddle and force great singers,
Mlas Lee- said: .;;.,-....-( ..i.,
"Well, if Mr. ' Hammersteln wrote
such letters to all the singers he tries
to force, he certainly must need a large
corps or sienograpners, -
.-. She added: ' '
"Mr. i Hammersteln was always as a
father to me, and when he wished, none
could be more kindly or more fatherly.'
One of the Letters. - v:--
One of the letters dated August 15,
1905. reads in part asfollows:
"At your departureon that hot June
afternoon, .you kissed me, you hugged
me before a lot of people in a public
place almost, and I felt I was leaving
behind me -two souls enraptured with

The above Is an extract from a letter
which Miss Lee says was written to her
while she was In the mountains for the
summer. . She says that Mr. Hammer

Mr. Hmmerstein. but she said it was
simply a matter of imagination.-

An unusually Interesting letter was
the one dated July 11, .1900. It- reads
in tmrt as follows;
'fy Dearest Bussle There came a let

of which ware about yourself.- At last.
Now I know that the stay in Bethel Is

be found it spells Francis Lee.
MIhs Lee said today that at the time
he did not at first understand the key
when she received the letter and was
quite put out for a time,' thinking that
Mr. Hammersteln really did have some
other sltiger he ' cared more for than
Kerslf but that he later explained the
matter and showed where the Joke came

FOR THE
KAISER
In Speech at Berlin German
Emperor Evidences His
Submission to the Will of
the Ministry The Press
Voices Approval.
(Hetrat New by Longest Leased Wire.)
Berlin, Nov. 21. For the first time In
h!a life,- the kaiser today, read In publlo
a speech directed by his ministry. In
stead of speaking ; extemporaneously,
giving -free vent to his opinion with
frequent "I's" aa has been his custom,
he submitted to the safe guidance of a
revised proof of a harmless, perfunctory
address. . .
The drama of the submission of the
emperor was played with every regard
to public and theatrical effect, and
stands as one of the most remarkable
scenes In modern German history. ,
z The occasion was the centennial cele
bration of the formation of the city
council oi .Berlin. ' There ; was a great
assemblage - of notabilities, a tribune
was set up for. the Imperial speakers,
and the kaiser with his suite, accom
panted by Prince Von Bulow, entered
ana arranged inemsetves aoout tne piat
form. - . . f ..
Smperor Is Affected.
The emperor,' very pale and visibly
Impressed, arose to ascend the steps of
the tribune. It was his first appear
ance In public 'since the occasion of his
memorable interview witn tne cnancei
lor at Potsdam lust Tuesday and both
the emperor-and chancellor knew that
the present : was really the- trying out
time. . -.
After a few formal expressions his
majesty made the following references
to recent occurrences:,
. "I cherish a -confidence that the bond
of ioyalty and affection which from
ancient times - our fatherland has so
HnHPlv lolned the kin sr and the citizens
the prince and the people,' always will
remain unbroken. If, according to the
words of the Prussian national hymn,
"lue sun cannot always shine and dull
clouds should never tnrow tneir snaaow
between me and my people."-.
' press Voices Approval. ,'
The Norde Deutsch Zeltung, referring
to the emperor's declaration to Von Bu
low, on tne occasion or tne interview
this week says the German press has
almost unanimously expressed sincere
satisfaction therewith; and adds: -
"An overwhelming majority of .the
German people feel deeply thankful for
the emperor's high minded resolve In
the matter of his imperial duties as set
forth in . the Kelgnsanseiger.
"The nation possesses,"- the paper con
tinues, "a guarantee for the .contlnu ante
of that confidence . between the crown
and the people, which In the past -has
given rise to 'such- splendid achieve
ments. His majesty's resolve appears
the more high minded, because It was
taken in suite of the undeniable exae
gerations of the publlo criticism, which
tne emperor must nave leu were unjus

Mine. Ferreroy Wife of Ital
ian Historian, Has Ideas
of Her Own Bearing on
Economic and Social Rela
tions of Men and Women.
By Nixola Grecley-Smlth.
New York.. Nov. 21. "Do men
love more or less than women?
"Are they more or " less sensitive
than women to physical suffering?
"Are they superior, equal orln
ferlor to worn mentally, .and will
they ever be equal to women mor
al ty?" W"
This In brief is the catechism I put
this- morning to Mme.' Ferrero, wife
the noted Italian historian now in New
York, daughter of Caesare Lombroso,
the world famous criminologist, and in
her own country well known as a writer
pn sociology and economics.- '
i'I have made an exhaustive study of
the condition of women, particularly- in
the United States," Madame Ferrero
said In reply to my first question.. ''I
made a condensation of my father's
great work on criminals for popular
use. I have written treatises on var
ious subjects bearing on the economic
and social relations of men and women."
"Why should women , seek to Imitate
men?" she asked me gravely. "Why
pay men that compliment?
" Ho Vh for JTew Womaa.
"I am not "in sympathy with the
femiest (or new woman) movement at
all. The femiest are the .most abject of
all In their attitude toward men, be
cause they put him upon a pedestal
and try to be like him.
"Woman is not the eiul of man.
Man is not the equal of woman. Their
roles are different and their -faculties
are different. :
, "But there can be no question of supe
riority between them. The finest woman j
can never be , anything but a second
rate man. Why should she seek to imi
tate' him at all? I, for one, would not
natter- him. rb .that extent -- !
"I assure you-1 do not think myself
Inferior - to - mv ' husband, my.father or
my : brother,' but .. I. recognize that my
mental processes are not the same. - !
"I know men very well. I studied
for 10 year at the University of Turin,
and it ' was very, curious to observe the
different - mental processes of men . and
women, often - equally -.brilliant. Un
questionably women learn faster 'than
men. , But men retain what they learn
more-easily and .more exactly. - Another
curious, thing la that women can study
live, or six -different subjects with ease
at. the same time. To men- this Is ex
traordinarily . difficult " A- .woman ' stu
dent. does not, object, to-passing six or
seven different examinations in as many
studies In) one day. -To a. man this is
very embarrassing. v ' ,
"Men i are . unquestionably v greater
criminals," continued Mme. Ferrero.
"Criminality in . women Is almost en
tirely . limited to women of the. under
world. Maternity holds women back
from crime. Maternity Is,., of course,
woman's , great role It is iwhat has
made her better morally than man."
"And will she always remain so?" 1
Inquired. "Will an - equal moral stand
ard for both sexes ever prevail?"
"Never." replied Mme. Ferrero. smll-
loEly, "If you expect to make men as
moral as woman. Of course, to reduce
women- to the moral status of men
would not be Impossible, but; It Would
be disastrous. . - ..s -
"Nature does not require morality as
we understand it from man," Mme. Fer
rero went on. "His right in the scheme
of nature Is supplementary; woman is
the guardian of -the species; - man Is
merely an Incident In Its preservation.
Today he devotes himself to make out
side conditions the boat for the mother
and her family. - ;
"It Is my opinion that woman's work
should be in the home. It would be
best for, the Individual Wife for work.
She Is freer, more Independent, but it
is bad for society as a whole.
"The wife who works outside does not
exercise preserving care over her house
hold. She -does not see the hola in the
curtain, the break In the chair, and have
them, attended to, consequently , these
things 7 are thrown away, , and that
means social waste a loss to society.
even though the individual wife earns
money ror new curtains ana chairs.
"Men love more intensely than
women." promptly answered .Mme. Fer
rero, when I led her by a question from
the chill precincts of economy Into the
warmer valley ox tne neart.
"Oh. yes for a time, s Woman's Jove
Is more . constant. It is .. a .tranquil
flame. ' ,
'"Once a woman loves and has a child,
she has attained her aim.,, She looks
no further. It is natural for her to
love one man. unnatural for her to be
unfaithful This often happens, par
ticularly among modern women, but It
Is generally from the force of circum
stances, not in their own natures. - -.
"Love is not an nd for a man an it
is for a woman," Mme. Ferrero said,
"Rut while -man loves, his emotions
nave much more force than woman's, at
least in tuiiy. -
"Do you believe women are less Sen
sitive than men?" I asked, i - V,
'My father thinks -so, .and has' done
much to" prove it," Mm Ferrero an
swered. - ''But I don't agne with him.
Women are more accustomed , to pain.

" "This Is a very unimportant question,
however. Why should we argue about

He said one of the men who appeared
before the committee, represented a
company that was recently fined $2,000
In a federal court for being In a combi
nation In restraint of trade.
He charged that -the paper makers
had failed to give labor any of the ben
efits of the Dlngley. protective' tariff,
that thev reoraanlzed an Illegal trust
Ttad caused wide destruction of the for
ests,, and. had engaged In gigantic spec
ulation in wood lands. An arbitrary ad
vance of $12 a ton In 1907, ho 'said, cost
consumers $50,000,000 a year. The pres.
ent price of news print paper, $6& a ton,
was $20 above the price ..that prevailed
when the DIngley bill was passed. .
Norrls declared that the Internation
al Paper company, - with an .antiquated
outfit, made an average prof it of 2
per cent for 10 year, and that labor
was paid lees than the wages. that pre
vailed In Canada. -
In a little cross fire with Chairmaa
Payne, "Mr, Norrls ventured:
'I have no doubt that before the end
of this session you Will be for free
pulp and free paper." ) . i
''You will probably be disappointed,
as you generally are.", was Chairman
Payne's reply.
He was followed by four labor rep
resentatives, who also asked for . free
pulp and paper.
Arthur C. Hastings, of' New York,
president of the American Paper and
Pulp association, spoke for the manu
facturers. He -denied tha charges made
by Mr. Norrls -as to there being com
binations in the trade.
George Mayecord, of Chicago, repre
senting the National ' Association . of
Lithographers, - appeared . before the
ways and means committee today and
anked that the tariff rates - on litho
graphic prints and labels be raised. He
said German competitors otherwise
would monopoitxe the market.

by her 'in' an bid envelope, which waa
placed In. a drawer. . In a moment of

- In the. morning the ragpickers turned
out the bin, bat. tossed aside the tat

Some carters happened to pass that

to -the other: - "Perhaps there's a for-
tune Inside." They drew out the notea

fKaturallyi" said the umbrella sales
man, "we sell mora umbrellas when it
rains than i when"' it doesn't, "but Ideal
weather for the retail umbrella trade
would be found in a constant succession
of days that started bright and clear
and wound up atormy. .
"To be sure we sell more or less um
brellas all the tlmo, on clear , days as
well as on rainy. In time of peace pre
pare for war, you know, and that sort
of thing, and there are people who buy
their umbrellas and have them ready;
but If is on such, a day as I have de
scribed that we sell - the most urn
brellas.
"You take a bright and sunny and
lovely day that promises to stay tut and
that holds so until along In the after
noon,. a day on which the streets and
the stores are filled with shoppers, and
then let a storm come up, taking people
unawares then we sell umbrellas.
"On such a day we have customers
here standing along the umbrella coun
ter perhaps two or three deep, people
buying umbrellas; on such a day we sell
hundreds of umbrellas In one afternoon.
It's aft ill wind that blows nobody good,
