THE CHARLOTTE JNEWS, CHARLOTTE, C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 23, 1921. CURZON GRILLED BY CANADIANS British Foreign Secretary is Put Through a Close Cross-Exantination. London. June 23. The imperial con ference did not hold a formal session today, having adjourned after Lord Curzon'fc speech yesterday, until Fri day. At that time the Japanese ;u liance, which is the first big subject to be discussed is not likely to come up, as it is planned to discuss that sub ject early next week. Lord Curzon's speech was a com prehensive but highly confidential re view of the principles which hav guided British foreign policy since th end of the war. Owing to the fact thit a number of questions of delicate inter national significance had to be touched upon, the conference agreed that th- address should not be, published. All that can bo said, therefore, is that t.e British minister of foreign affairs tool the conference completely into his con fidence, laying all the cards upon the table, and at the same time inviting: the delegates to interrogate him on each and every point. This invitation, it is understood, was freely acted upon, Premer Meg han and the other premiers subjecting Lord Curzon to what practically amounted to a cross-examination. The foreign secretary, it is known, did not touch upon the Japanese alliance ex cept in a general way, and neither ad vocated that it be denounced nor re newed. He dealt at great length, how- jever, with the diplomatic conversation which he recently held in Paris with (Premier Brland. of France, concerning; !the British attitude in Russia and th.? general lines of British policy both in Europe and in the Pacific.

MUSIC DROWNS RESTIWS TEARS Accordian Player Carries Out Program After Read ing of Brother's Death. Tha'tj music can make one forget all sorrow, however great it may be was proven by Carlo Restivo, widely known accordian player, who Is appearing at the Broadway theater during the entire week. Restivo had one of the most sensa tional things to happen to him of any actor on the stateg. During the war he was called upon by the government to entertain the soldier with his ac cordian. One night he was playing in Atlanta. The big theater was packed to capacity with men and women. The stage lights were turned on and the curtain went up. Restive stood on tip toe ready to appear. Suddenly a messenger boy was heard behind the screen. "Cablegram for Carlo Restivo," he told the manager. "Give it to me," cried Restivo. "Not until you finish your act," re turned the manager. With excitement, Restivo quickly snatched the cablegram from the man ager's hand. Hastily he tore it open. "Your' brother, Lieutenant Felix Restivo killed in action on AlsatiOn front," it read. A look of despair came across Resti vo's face. Tears were in his eyes. Out side the audience waited. The orches tra softly played his opening piece. "You must go out there," whispered the manager. HE STOOD SMIUNG. And he went. Before the aiylienc& stood a smiling man. Not a trace Of sorrow was seen upon his face. He played every number upon his pro gram. Next day Atlanta papers de clared that there was, a peculiar sweet ness in Restivo's music never heard be fore. His heart and soul had been in his music. "And that was the greatest, most terrible moment Of my life," exclaimed Restivo in telling of the incident. The most interesting thing about a person's business is how he managed to get into it, how he started. The begin ning of Restivo's cireer as a musician ranks with the best in that kind of interest. 'He was born in Genoa, Italy, coming to America in 1808. In his city there was. what he declared to be a genius. The man was a Catholic priest yarned Lavechia. There were few things he could not do. He was a great teacher, an famous organ player, an expert maker of the most delicate cabinets and woodwork, and a skilled musician on every instrument known to him. One of his best accomplishments was piaying an accordian, not the small or dinary accordian, but one with scales similar to a piano. His music was known throughout Italy. It fascinated Restivo. He watched the man and studied him. The priest took an interest in him and began to teach him music. He taught him the proper touch and manipulation of the accordian, with the result that Restivo soon became an expert musician him self. GOT S5 A EEK FIRST. He had no idea of playing the accor dian for money when he came to Ameri ca. He was playing before some Italian friendi) in New York City one day many years ago when a theatrical manager heard him and made him an offer of $5 a week and expenses. The insignifi cant sum was increased as fast aB Res tivo's fame spread, until now he is making several hundred dollars a week. "I really came to America for the love of travel," said Restivo. "In Italy my people are considered wealthy and I had the means with which to see the world. But since I have begun a musical career, it fascinates me and I cannot stop. I love my work and will always love it. Music is the greatest thing on earth." But music is different to a certain degree in Italy than in America, con tends Restivo. There it is classical music they want. Here, the notes of ragtime and catchy melodies grip the people. And it is the people he seeks to please. "I like Italy, but I had rather live in America," he said. 'The scenery is more beautiful here, because there r.eems to be a newness about it. It looks as if the country is the latest handiwork of nature. In Italy, the scenerv looks Did. Of course, it is beau i and different from anything in the world, but America looks mighty Sooa to me." Restivo especially likes Miami, Flori da, where he has recently bought some property. He is with the Lasses White minstrels during the winter months. IRISH REJOICE AT LETTERTO KING See Evil Motives of English' King and Queen Return Home. W.T. McCoy&Company Exclusive Columbia Agents Ixmdon, June 28. What purported to be a copy of a letter Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilson, chief of the imperial general staff, sent to Prime Minister Lloyd George giving his reasons for not accepting the premier's invitation to attend yesterday's opening of the Ul ster parliament, was circulated today in Irish quarters here. The field mar shal's reasons for declining to go to Belfast, were given as follows: "Being the senior officer of the British army, I do not think it right Or pro per for me to be present. In view of the fact the government appears to be determined to increase its pressure On the south and west of Ireland to bring the Sinn Fein rebellion to an end, and that orders for all troops to go over will emanate from me, I think, perhops, it would bring politics into the army if, as preliminary to ordering thousands of troops over to crush the rebellion I was seen to take part in the opening of the northern parliament." The copy of the letter was printed in the Irish Bulletin, which said in commenting upon it, that it regarded the letter as "authentic proof of thr military and politfcal motives Which dictated the partition of Ireland and the establishment of the Ulster parliament." SOVEREIGNS RETURNING Holyheod, Wales, June 23. King George and Queen Mary arrived here this morning from Belfast, where, yes terday, they presided at the state open ing of the Ulster parliament.

MAYNARD "Flying Parson" Tells an Experience to Show Value of Airplane. Lieut. Belvin W. Maynard, famous bb "the Flying Parson," nativfe ff North Carolina and a former student at. Wake Forest College, but now a resident of New York, was one of the speakers at the Kiwanis Club luncheon Thursday. He told the Kiwanians one of hiSKi)wn experiences as illustrative of the possibilities of aviation. "Recently I was to speak to a Ki wanis Club in New Jersey at its noon day luncheon," said Lieutenant May nard! "That night I was to speak to the Kiwanis Club of Lynn, Mass. The arrangement showed, a conflict, as it was impossible to make the trip from the New Jersey town to Liin in time for ths night meeting. "So shortly before noon of that day I took my 'ship' out at my home on Long Island and flew to the Jersey town. I made my little talk, then flew back home and spent, a short time with my family. The Lynn train left New York at 1:3C o'clock, and I left my home behind it. I passed that. tram twice on my trip, then finally left my plane and took the train for Lynn, reaching there at 6:S0 o'clock, in plenty of time for, the meeting." Lieutenant Maynard said the dem onstrations that are being made off the Virginia coast go far toward proving the superiority of airplanes over sea craft. "I can take a $3,000 airplane and one bomb artd destroy a $40,000,000 battleship and get away With it," said Lieutenant Maynord. Dr. i3dward Vernon Howell, dean of the school of pharmacy at the Univer sity of North Carolina, was another iCiwanis speaker. He said North Car olina came into its own just 15 years? ago when it came to the conclusion that it must have a third class an industrial class to make up a well rounded citizenship. Several visiting pharmacists were in attendance at the luncheon. B.F.R0ARK HEADS N. C. MERCHANTS Charlotte Jeweler Gets High Office at Hands of Convention. . B. F.
