greeted by full house. \ critic says
of De Pachmaun: ..Nladimir de Pach-
mann played the + minor concerto in
his own inimitable manner. His
style has broadened. he has gained in
repose, and his rubato is not so vio-
lently unrhythmical as it was six
years ago. The caressing beauty of
his touch. its rich singing duality,
was happily exhibited in the lar
guetto, which was played with po-
etical spirit and variety of standings
well nigh incredible. 1t was legiti-
mate piano playing, the instrument
yielding up its utmost toll of tone
and sounding, at times, like mirac-
ulously attuned rolian harp. The
mazurka-like finale was given with
fantasy. The pearly scales, trillS and

McConochIe Finds People Prefer One

Rock Islands city council commit
tee is done investigating the tele-
phone problem. so Mayor William
McConochie said today, and will prob
ably report it, findings and conclus-
ions al the next regular meeting of
the municipal assembly. AS near
" as can he learned. the investi-
CATION tour has not been a gilt

the committee are ne better informed
as TO the respective merits of COM
peting exchanges than they were be-
fore they started off on their whirl
through the states OF Illinois. Wis
cOnsin. Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. In
each city they heard the service of
both systems commended-an they
did not experience any difficulty in
meeting representative citizens, some
praising To the skies one system and
giving a black eve to the other, and
vice versa. Which story IS to be ac-
cepted?
The committee spent Yesterday in
quiring into the telephone situation
at Des Moines. There are two eX-
changes in the Iowa capital, n Bell
and an independent. The latter has
been in operation three years. Mayor
McConochie say>it has more subscrib-
ers than the Bell.
But, on the other hand, continued
the mayor, we were told by one of
the leading business men that he could
buy the Independent company out in
side of three hours. Whether he was
talking facts | am not in n position to
state. Both systems seem to be Civ
ing satisfaction, but in Des MOines, as
in other cities visited by the commit
tee, the people, from the best infOrma
tion we could obtain, would prefer
one exchange II they would be- fur
nished lirst-class service 1t has been
the history of the different towns,
however, that a rival plant has in
creased the numb Der of telephone pa
irons.
Good and Bad Reports.
lone man we met in Das MOines
said he had ordered both phones out
of his place, because, he said. they
were nuisance. So there is the way
it goes-one hears good and bad re-
ports about both systems. Il is diff
cult for one TO Judge intelligently.

Chicago Gas was a trihe stronger this
morning. after a decline TO 81 at the open
ing. The latest elaboration Of the Ogden
Company bear story is that the concern is
backed by the Standard Oil Company. and
will get its oil cheap and make its gas is
cents a thousand feet cheaper than its ri
val can. There is good evidence that this
bear gossip. which has been profuse this
week. is foated by a strong Chicago bear
clique The price OF the stock may be sent
somewhat lower. but il would seem TO be
a mistake for holders of the stock who
have sufficient margins to sell al the pres
eut level when. without doubt the stock is
worth much more and will be selling much
higher in the near future.
