Sands is worth $250,000. or ; more, but she cannot go out into the, world to enjoy it. All the profit she gets from it is 165 a week. which the committee in charge of her estate pays to the proprietor of Sanford Hal!. a sanatorium at Flush ing. Long Island. Kiss Sands is the daugh ter of a merchant who amassed a large fortune in the China trade years ago She has high connections and was educated abroad, and that is. perhaps, one reason why she believes that she is the grand daughter of Queen Victoria. She has also a strong: opinion that her relatives are conspiring to kee> her at Sanford Hall, where the doctors are think ing seriously of taking out her brain and ■ eyes, and even of robbing her of her i breath— so she divines. She has a nabit, the doctors say. of collecting worms and toads and of making: pets of them ani of kissing them. She can talk with the toads, she declares. She knows the language cf fowls, too. One day she saw a chicKen on the lawn at Sanford Hall, and the chicken looked up and said: "I love you. Valeria." It was twenty years agro last Jun«? wh»n Miss Bands was sent to Sanford Ha:'. She was then twenty-six years old. Four year? aeo the Supreme Court refused to let her out. Yesterday Justice Kapper, of the Su preme Couru Brooklyn, was again request ed to erant her release. The application was made by the woman's cousin, Jlr.<, Mary E. Robertson, of Van Dusenvilie. N. V. She did not ask him to give Miss Sands the control of her property, but only her liberty. After listening' to the testi mony of the physicians the court refused. i D^TfER FOR CURTIS AND LOEB Largely Attended by Appraisers Who Are Now in Session Here.

Mrs. Webster-Powell at I Hotel Astor. There was a pood deal or pjffle about the personally conducted bifurcated skirt ex hibit of Mrs. Webster-Powea at the Hotel Astor last night. Baldheaded men came early an d as she was far down on the programme they wor ried through various parched periods of psychological phenomena as recounted by experts. They stayed late. The real'show did not he m until 9:10 o'clock, and * was nearly v o'clock before Mrs Webster- Powell fooled them and sent them home . Her skirt was expensive black velvet and fit beautifully. She said there were ideas of her own woven into it. The audience had to be content with that. If it was bifurcated, then the> had paid their dollar admission fee merely to take her word for it. Mrs. Webster-Powell beamed over her tit tie surprise, and Signor Eueenio di Pirani brought tears to his eyes by his work on the piano. The bass solo would have been pood. too. but Mrs. Webster-Powell said •the bass caught cold and had to stay away." A number of baldheaded men will catch cold if that is found to be the easiest way to avoid meetings of the Public Good So ciety on the third Friday of other months. Especially a dark featured sufferer who sat on the stage near a waterfall at the foot of trie Alps. There was an evergreen tree on his right, and on' his left there was a large woman with gold butterflies In her i hair. j The man studied the exit on his right, but was systematically recalled to the scene by the large woman. At these times the man smiled at everything. Often the music was distinctly pathetic. But he smiled as he gazed at the chandelier. When the cut glass rays surfeited him he gazed at his shiny shoes reminiscently. almost affec tionately. The large woman touched his sleeve. The way he jumped suggested she held soniethinz in her hand. A piano, violin and 'cello were in the hands of masters, all of whom were busy j and uncomfortably close to the bald headed j man. If he had loved music things would j have been easier on the woman who wag ! superintending him. But there was some thing pleading in his look, as if he wanted to he allowed to go out into a side street j and lie down an.l die. Any one looking for "a dear old lady" could have found hundreds to choose from In the north ballroom. All wore pink or lavender o r yellow. One who sat on the platform was said to have a million dollars. None of the performers was serious, ex cept the musicians and a college professor. The audience will never forgive Professor K. P. Woodworth. of Columbia University, for not being able to forget that he was a college professor He did not talk in cryp tic monosyllables His lecture was called "'The Latest Discoveries in Psychology." The professor had prepared himself. There were many discoveries. It de pended upon where one might care to begin. He was thorough, and began in the dim and distant. He became dimmer and dim mer to the audience, and when he had finished Mrs. Webster-Powell moved him slowly toward the door, complimenting him all the time. Mrs. Webster-Powell introduced Mrs. Cal vin E. Hull as being the woman "who keeps Brooklyn society at her feet." Mrs Hull said she had known the speaker for some time and had great faith in her truth fulness and would abide- by her decision as to her own control of the social life across the bridge. The Rev. James B. Wasron was called upon early in the evening to "bring to the platform the atmosphere of the clergy." The Rev. Mr. Wasson was not present, which Mr? Webster-Powell rould not un derstand, a? she said he had promised to attend. A clergyman was felt to he n°<='ded. Mrs. Webster-Powell grew radiant. She nodded and made signs. "Will Canon Chase please come to the platform?" she said, her cheeks blooming with pride and pleasure- Canon William Sheafe Chase went to the platform and said a few things. He did not say he would not come again, but he blushed violently and lacked that method of delivery for which he is well known. Edwin Markham is poet-laureate of Mr». Webster Powell's society, but he did not read any original poem. He told a favorite jest In which it was necessary for him to imitate the song of the rooster, and each time he did it the old ladies rocked in well I red paroxysms of enjoyment. Mr. Mark ham finished the evening a few feet from the baldheaded man who sat near the large woman and the waterfall. At midnight there was a cotillon.

Mrs. Una Morrow Lewis put all doubts on these subjects out of the question. Miss Violet White, speaking ln be half of the shirtwaist girls, urged all the women pres sol to demand the union label.

Denver. Nov. 18.— A lone aviator, scar ing against the snow-white background of the Rocky Mountains, grimly reminded ten thousand spectators at Overland Park to day of yesterday^ reckless rivalry which culminated in the tragic death of Ralph Johnston*?, holder of the world's altitude record. While Walter Brooktns of the Wright team was speeding toward Kansas City with the body of the man. who, in Brook lnss own words, "flew as he pleased," Arch Hoxsey. whose feats Johnstone ever sought to excel, gave the two flights called for by Ms contract, and threw in another on to please the crowd What Hoxsey failed to do In fancy work to-day, he made up in speed. Rising and circling to a height of about 2.000 feet, takire nine minutes to do it. he then headed northwest, toward the foothills. When he reached the field again, it was learned from his description of a lake over whlcn he passed that he had covered an estimated distance of twenty miles in twenty minutes. Hoxsey estimated his greatest altitude at 3,5^ feet from the ground, or 8,700 feet above sea level. In his final flight. Hoxsey rose and dipped, and turned until the crowd voiced the seemingly unanimous desire that he come down. FLIES OVER__NAVY YARD Grahame -White Crosses from Philadelphia to New Jersey.

Despite the chilling wind, which swept the curse at Point Breeze, the aviator showed a wonderful control of hi? machine. On his first flight he circled the mile track six times. He then flew to the trrain ele vators at Girard point, rising to an alti tude of 4M feet. His flight to the navy yard occurred on his third ascension of the day. Rising to an filtitud" of only about one hundred feet, he flew over the com mandant's office, dropped a dummy bomb on top of the administration b lildinjr. con tinued across the river, to the opposite shore and then returned to th.-> hangir.

The second German night at the opera brought forward "Die 'Walkiire." with two sinpers new to local lists and a new scenic outfit. The newcomer? were Mme. Lucy Weidt, the heroine of the drama who comes to New York from the Court Opera, at Vienna, a fruitful tilting pround of recent years, and Mr Basil Ruysdael, who was so choked ivltli spleen and wabbly of utterance that there couM be neither pleasure to the reviewer nor profit to the reader were w*» To tarry with him loneer or return to him again. Mme. Weidr. thouch not inviting passionate euloptum. is still a more invltine subject for discussion. Unfortunately, she represents the too com mon Teutonic type of Wacnerfaui prima donna, in having a figure which is spoken of in her native i an i as "Brunnhildenhaft." and this she emphasized very unnecessarily by wearing peculiarly short skirts. Such a garment is no doubt better ,i(i£.pted to the activities of a chooser of the slain than a trailing- garment would be. but there were no greaves to prevent the effert of a peas ant costume, and a foot more of gown would have added very considerably to her artistic dignity and apparent stature. But the new artist has temperament, a full, round and resonant mezzo-soprano voice and a command of the accents of pathos which was all the more Impressive because it was in strong contrast to her strident performances in the passionate passages which called for her high tones. In action she presented the type which has become stereotyped in Germany and the coun tries to which Germany is tributary. Among the singers familiar to the pa trons of the Metropolitan Opera House were Madame Morena. statuesque as in her first season, three years agro. but scarcely as effective in son?. Mr. Burrian, who. with Madame "U'eidt and the orches tra, under the direction of Mr Hertz, made the scene of the death proclamation, the most impressive incident of the even ing. Mr. Boomer as Wotan was guilty of some overaccentuation in the second act, but otherwise was eloquent and con vincine. The new scenery is copied from that of. La Scala. The first act left old longings for a return to the picture and light manipulation of the early German sejasons at the Metropolitan, but the second act was beautifully and effectively mount ed, better than it has yet been.

MAY ENFORCE BANKING LAW Appellate Division Vacates In junction Restraining Officials. Without passlner <->n the constitutionality of the new bar.ktnc- !aw, which Justice Bi- Jur recejitly held was unconstitutional, tho Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday vacated the injunction which James Lee. a curb broker, obtained from Justice Bljur against Attorney General O'Malley, Clark Williams. State. Superin tendent of Banking, and Distri -t Attorney Whitman to restrain them from enforcing: the new law. The law says that any person doing a business in which he receives deposits must have a state license and deposit, a substan tial bond with the State Controller. ]>c declared the law gave the Controller arbi trary rowers and that it was discrimina tory. The Appellate Division said that no cause of action was stated on which a court of erjulty had Jurisdiction, and therefore dissolved th« injunction. B. S. Mendels, ajrem of the Xew York curb market, said that ln his opinion the decision of the Appellate Division that curb brokers must be licensed, referred only to brokers, whether curb or others, who re- 1 ceived deposits and did what na? construed j as a banking business, it did not apply. ! he added, to those who were strictly com adssfon brokers. In other words, only brokers wh<> do a margin business com* under the act. The better class of traders on the curb do a strictly commission business, it ts said, and the number of those who do what can be construed as a banking business within the meaning of the act is believed to be small. According to reputable brokers the law requiring margin traders to take out licenses will be a good thing for the curb, and they seemed to think that if ,lt should result ln driving this latter element from the outside market more go>>d than harm would be done.

SBmr NAGEI'S PLEA Necessity for the Spread of Fed eral Authority, NEED STATE CO-OPERATION Urges Trade Expansion, Federal Incorporation and Establish ment of a Merchant Marine. Kansas City. Nov. ls._Actlve ana na tional co-operation b»twe»n the national and state authorities is absolutely essen tial to a successful solution of the com mon problems with which they both .ire confronted. This was the opinion expressed to-night by Charles Napel. Secretary of Commerce and Labor, in an address deliv ered at the sixteenth annual dinner of 'lie Kansas City Commercial Club. Ho declared himself a believer in both state and national authority, saying that he "read the Constitution to mean that the integrity of both were guaranteed." In the practical affairs of life, however, he as serted, "substantially no one adheres to the old doctrine of restricted power of the na tional government." "The old restrictions upor federal author ity* and federal appropriations have been swept away," he said. "Generally in all directions the old barrier ha? broken down. and It is admitted in practice, if not m platform, that national authority is al?o lutely essential to meet national problems as they now present themselves If this 19 true at home with respect to domestic af fair?, it is infinitely m-->re tme wtta re spect to foreign affair? ' As to foreign commerre. Mr Nae*l de c'ared that he was "absoiuTeiv =afe to jar that only nne authority can be •■on^ulted, and That i? the national power." As to d'->mesri r commerce, he said: "So far. we have practically no commer cial corporations that base their authority upon anytninar but state authority. The inconvenience of that system, even in our inters'ar' commerce, has "neon ='ifn>ient!}' demonstrated I am persuaded, for MM, that the conflicts, the inconsistencies and the embarrassments with reaped to inter state commerce alone are enousch to for the organization of corporations undo 1 federal charters. "I am not oblivious to the fact." lie added, "that if the national government does authorize the organization of com mercial companies to be employed in for eign business, these same organizations may. and perhaps must, by degrees, en gage in domestic commerce as well. On the contrary. I believe this to be an inevitable result of the first step. But there is no cause for alarm." The Secretary declare.] that there la pressing necessity for the development '* foreign commerce and that "we are pro ceeriJTlJT. as it weri>, oblivious to it." •■We speak of the tariff," he continued, "as though it concerned only the cost to the consumer at home, and yet we have entered the international arena; , we have entered it politically and we must main tain it commercially. Notwithstanding all the campaign controversy the free list has now been increased. If that be the policy we must, of necessity, make corresponding inroads into foreign territory with our products."
