VICTOR BAI[R's TROUBLES
In Rearranging Trinity Choir
to Suit His Ideas He
Encounters Some
Opposition.

Mr.. Victor Baier, who was recently ap-
pointed choirmaster of Trinity Church,
New York, is having the usual trouble
with his choir, which generally occurs at
the change of administrations. When Mr..
Baier took charge of the music he started
to "change the voices,n as it is called.
to suit his ideas of what the choir should
be. This called for the dismissal of
many of the old members and the engag-
ing of new singers. The appropriation
made by the officials of the parish was
reduced and Mr.. Baler was Obliged to
cut down some salaries. This has caused
much dissatisfaction and grumbling.
Trinity choir is made up of twenty boys
and seventeen men, and it is said that
eight of the men have refused to sign a
contract for another year because their
salaries have been reduced Among these
is Mr. Charles Forster, leading choir
tenor who formerly resided in this city.
He received a salary of $500, and recently
Mr.. Baier notified him that his salary
would be reduced to $500.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. Forster said
Far be it from me to criticise Mr..
Baier's management of the choir. 1t
~-----'
l take it, and if he sees fit to reduce my
salary and 1 don't see fit to accept the
reduction l have only to resign, and that
l have done.
II am thankful that the small salary ]
received is no object to me; but 1t is a
matter of sentiment. have been in Trim
ity choir for twenty years, and did not
feel as if / wanted to stand any reduc-
ton. Mr.. Baier told me he could get all
the tenors he wanted at from S16O to
5000 a year. said, Yes; but what are
they? Incompetents, fioaters and unfor-
tunates.'
Mr.. Forster lived for many years In
Jersey City and was one of the Leading
men in the Schubert Glee Club. He was
one of three men who undertook to have
the Glee Club incorporated, but Mr.. balei
refused to support the scheme at the last
moment and it fell through. Three years
later, however, the t-ouble was adjusted
and the club was Incorporated under boa1
club act. Mr. Forster is not a member
of the Schubert now.
It was reported that Julian Walker, tn
| solo basso, the star singer of the choir
also would resign He has been getting
$500 from Trinity. A church in Brooklyl
has offered him 5000, and although Mr.
| Baier denied yesterday that Mr.. Wake
| was going to leave, it is understood from
other sources that Trinity probably will
lose him also.
| Mr.. Baier said THE vestry makes m
| a certain allowance for the choir and
make it go as far as can. Some salaAe
have reduced; others / have raised.
| have changed the voices to suit my owl
| ideas, and / think the choir as good as !
| ever has BEEN"

chants were in favor Of removing the

chants were in favor of removing the
sheds.
II think" said Mr.. Bernstein, that
there was never SO prominent street in
any city that is so unsightly as is New
ark avenue. Get the merchants to do
away with their show cases and signs,
and there will be no need Of having the
ordinance enforced"
Chairman Furst then related an in
stance when two prominent merchants
refused to remove their show cases, each
because the other did not. Both finally
agreed to remove their cases.
Merchants seem to think the only way
to do business is to crowd the sidewalks
with their goods" he continued. When
l came to Jersey City, in 1873, Newark
avenue was sight There was solid
row of wooden sheds, from the ferry to
Coles street A person could walk the
entire distance on rainy day without
raising an umbrella, and the merchants
were compelled to light their gas at three
O'Clock in the afternoon on account OF
the darkness. l might add that it was
only short while ago that Mr.. Win
berrys shed fell and injured number
of people,
Finance Commissioner Jacob Ringle
then took the subject up. He said:-"One
reason why there are so many small
buildings on Newark avenue is that the
authorities do not attend to their duties
properly. In all well regulated commune
ties the building and repairing of frame
buildings is strictly prohibited except in
fol
having the ordinance relating to frame
structures passed by the Board of Alder
man.
Il wanted to have the words absolute
ly prohibited inserted, but the Board re-
fused to put them in. I have known
of several instances where permission to
erect frame buildings has been granted
by the Board. If we lived up to the ordi-
nance there would not be a frame build
ing on Newark avenue today. This is
the trouble; there are too many loop
holes whereby a person can avoid the
laws. If your committee can have an
ordinance passed prohibiting repairing or
erecting frame buildings a different state
of affairs will be witnessed in two years.
Chairman Furst then appointed the fol-
lowing committee to confer with the
proper NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Klein, Bon
mott, Pool, Weiner and Doyle.
Mr.. Bernstein suggested that the mem
bers do all in their power to assist AS
semblyman Murphy with his bill for
cheaper telephone service.
A committee of two, consisting OF
Messrs. Bernstein and Ringle, were ap-
pointed to confer with the Merchants
Association for the purpose of consolida-
ton. The meeting then adjourned.

WANSER NOT A TRUSTEE.
Will Not Join Free Library Board,
Because of Overwork

Postmaster Wanser who was appointed
a Free Public Library trustee last week,
today waited on Mayor Hoos and de-
clined the honorary office. The ex-Mayor

Board ne would deem it his duty to de-
vote time and attention to the eonstruc-
