Sobie Shop in Ottawa 66 Sparks Street Succeeds in Having New Rules Delayed Toronto Was Considering Preventing Chinese Cafe Owners Employing White Waitresses. Tchuin Li, Chinese consul-general, has returned from his visit to Toronto well satisfied with his trip. Added interest attached to Mr.

Li's first visit to the Nationals in the Queen City by reason of the fact the City authorities were sertously considering passing regulations to prevent Chinese restaurant proprietors from employing white waitresses and to require them to close earlier at night than other restaurants. Mr. Li informed The Citizen that he had interviewed Mayor McBride. the police magistrate and the police department and that, having learned them that the behavior of the Chinese in Toronto was generally good, he was successful in persuading them to delay inauguration of the new stringent regulations, at least for the time being. A number of public meetings were held, Mr.

Li stated, at which. under the auspices of the eastern division of the Nationalist Society of China, he had an opportunity of addressing and meeting a majority of the Chinese of the city. Upon his return to Ottawa, Mr. Li had a brief visit with Dr. Otto Weber, German -general at Singapore, Strait Settlements, where Mr.

Li himself was stationed prior to his tranfer to Ottawa a few months ago. Dr. Weber, accompanied by his wife, was traversing Canada enroute to Germany on a six months' vacation. Mr. Li showed his former colleague around the Capital with which, he said, the German consul-general was much impressed.

No final decision has as yet. been reached, Mr. Li intimated, as to the location of a new down-town office of the Chinese consulate-general, now housed at 82 Somerset street, which has been found to be too small for the enlarged staff of four officials. Negotiations. for Mr.

Li's staff to move to 81 Laurier avenue west, which some years ago was occupied as a combined and residence for the Chinese representative here. office, have fallen through. The Late Dr. Harriss A TRIBUTE By T. J.

PALMER. Music Editor of The Citizen. The passing of Dr. Charles Harriss removes one of the outstanding figures in the musical life of Canmost, eda. He was a man of musical vision, was ambitious and full of energy.

He often talked to me of his struggles for success in the early period of his career in Canada, when there was so much to do and so little with which to carry on. His good fortune made it possible for him to carry out some of his great ambitions, and his work in the impressario line was recognized throughout the British Er e. It was the big things that appealed to him and the greater the undertaking the better he was pleased. Re was loyal to the Empire and took the stand that Englard's musical best should be heard in every section of the vast British Empire. He did much to make this possible.

Perhaps his greatest achievement was the organizing and training of the huge chorus of 10,000 voices at the Wembley Exhibition in London. About fifteen years ago he greatly desired to take the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir to England, but it never materialized, as the late Dr. Vogt had already prepared plans 1 to take the choir. not only to England, but also to France and Germany, but the outbreak of the war cancelled everything. Dr.

Harriss's name will be carried on in the musical history of Canada for his work in the cause of music in this Dominion has left a permanent landmark. Up to the last his interest in the musical affairs of the country was a living thing, and he did much. to encourage the efforts of the Ottawa Temple Choir. Although there were periods in his career when he met opposition from the musical profession in certain sections, it was more on account of misunderstanding and failure to realize the importance and magnitude of Dr. Harriss's undertakings and what they meant to the Empire at large.

Located on Farm Ottawa police were asked to endeavor to locate John Fox. 13, years of age, who left his home. 14 Central avenue, at 5 o'clock Monday evening and did not return. Relatives, however, got word of his whereabouts and he was located on a farm a short distance from the city. He was brought home by his mother.

Harriss Noted Musician, Dies in Ottawa (Continued from Page One) Charles Albert Edwin Harriss was, according to Morgan, a native of London, England, and was educated at St. Michael's College, Tenbury, where he took the Ouseley Musical Scholarship in 1873. In 1880, he succeeded Dr. Sloman as organist to the Earl of Powis, and also became organist to the Parish Church of Welshpool. After two years his services were sought for in Canada by the authorities of Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal, as the successor of Dr.

Davies, as organist and rector-chori there, and subsequently by the Church of St. James the Apostle. At his first public recital he was honored by the attendance of H.R.H. The Princess Louise. While still occupying the above position he composed his first work, "Daniel Before the King." a dramatic cacred cantata, which was the earliest musical composition ever published and performed in Canada by a British Canadian (Montreal Philharmonic, 1890).

This was followed by numerous songs, anthems, pianoforte and organ compositions: "Torquil," a lyric opera (Toronto, 1900), given by him in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, May, 1900. in aid of the Patriotic Fund founded by His Excellency Lord Minto for the benefit of the Canadian soldiers fighting in South Africa, "A Festival Mass," dedicated to Her Excellency the Countess of Minto (Buffalo, 1901); "The Admiral," a comic opera (1902); "Coronation Mass Edward VII." by permission of His Majesty The King, and dedicated, by gracious permission, to Her Majesty Queen Alexandra (1903), His Funeral Anthem, "I Heard a Voice from Heaven," was the setting written specially for use at the funeral service held in Christ Church Cathedral, at the Canadian capital, on the day of Queen Victoria's burial (January 22, 1901). His first Mass, by command of Their Excellencies the Governor General and the Countess of Minto, was given at the Basilica, Ottawa, at a special service in commemoration of Her Majesty Queen Victoria (January 22, 1902), at which were present Their Excellencies, His Grace the Archbishop, the Prime Minister of Canada, and the members of his Cabinet, the city clergy of all denominations, and, perhaps, the most representative gathering of worshippers ever assembled together in any sacred edifice the Dominion. In September, 1902, Mr. Harriss was honored by a command from Their Excellencies to perform selections from his opera, "Torquil," before Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales at Government House, Ottawa.

Mr. Harriss introduced every British artist of note to Canada during past twenty years, including Charles Santley, Edward Lloyd, Signor Foli, Ben Davies, Watkin Mills, Plunket Greene, Joseph Hollman, Johannes Wolff, John Cheshire, Trebelli, Muriel Foster, Norman Salmond.

He made known British martial music throughout Canada with Lieutenant Dan Godfrey and his band of British musicians (1899), and the following year had them return from England and perform before the President of the United States in the east room of the White House at Washington, the o- casion being memorable in the history of musical events pertaining to British music in the United States. At his suggestion they played the 5th Massachusetts Regiment through the streets of Boston after their return from Manila to the strains of "The British Grenadiers," and received the thanks of the Governor of the State of Massachusetts. At Albany the Governor of New York (Mr. Roosevelt) invited the British bandsmen to the State capital, and thanked them for their compliment tendered to American soldiers.

At Detroit Sons of the Revolution carried the Union Jack at the head of the British band, who took part in the Fifth National Congress, thus strengthening by musical strains the bonds of the two Anglo-Saxon nations.
