MUSIC NOTES

The piano recital given last evening
in the Blanchard Fitzgerald hall by
Herr Thilo Becker's pupils was an artis-
tic delight from beginning to end. The
program was made up of high-clas.s
music, its arrangement was judicious
and the rugged simplicity of Bach and
Beethoven were heard in delightful con-
trast to the delicate grace of Schumann,
the exquisite tenderness of Chopin and
the crisp brilliancy of Liszt.
BY their performance Mr.. Becker's
pupils demonstrated the very active
factor he has become in the musical
development Of Los Angeles, and the
audience that completely filled the re-
cital hall and the annex indicates that
the public are appreciating his work.
All the executants last night displayed
exceptional intelligence in their grasp of
the spirit of what they played; all used
their hands and pedals with understand
ing as we'll as skill; in word they inter-
preted their numbers Instead of merely
rendering them.
Miss Bernice Roche in Schumann's S
Papillons. and later in Liszt's poetic
Liebestraum; Miss Ina Goodwin in
Beethoven's wonderful variations in

in Bargiel Scherzo; Miss Blanche

minor Polonaise, and Brahms Ballade;
Miss Miriam Barnes in Liszt's glowing
| Sposaligio and Reinecke Ballade; Miss
Clara Bosbyshell in a Chopin prelude
Schumann's exquisite A major Novel

numbers with much credit to themselves
and to their instructor.

The Farmers Market

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-The San

several plans, by following which they
think the Harbor Commissioners will
profit. A committee which had been
instructed at former meeting to con-

that were adopted. They declare that
only the water front market that would
benefit the people Of the State at large
would be such a one as has already
been urged by the advocates of the
measure-a market to or adjacent to
which all perishable products should,
as matter of fact, be delivered free Of
drayage and in which methods of sale
should be controlled by public authority.
Such a market could be established on
the water front, the resolutions aver,

INSURANCE RATES

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.--The in.

manner SO vigorous as to convey a
warning to others who may be tempted
to seek business for non-board compa

A. few days ago the Lancashire dis

San Jose, had quietly taken over the
Northwestern, Franklin, Westchester
and Williamsburg City, which are not
in the compact, and We're revoking the
non-cancellation clause In the Lanca-
shire's policies, with the evident intent
to transfer the business to non-board
members.
AS soon as Mann & Wilson of this city,
who are the Pacific coast agents of the
Lancashire, discovered what was going
on at San Jose, they revoked the author
lty given by them to J. H. Rucker &
Co. had a meeting of the executive
committee of the board of fire under

The result was the adoption of a resolu-
ton permitting the Lancashire Insur-
ance company to write it's business in
San Jose now on its books. for any term
permitted by the constitution, and al
any rate of premium.
Having secured this unequivocal sup
port from the compact, Mann & Wilson
proceeded to make such cuts on its writ
ten business in San Jose as had been
cancelled by J. H. Rucker & Co. tha t
it would not pay the non-board COM
panies to take 1t over. Accordingly spe-
cial agents have been dispatched to the

rates from IS to 90 per cent. No such
