MALEK AND WILL WHITE.
What the Emporia Editor Thinks of
Great Pianist

"Bill'' White says some very compli-
mentary things in the Emporia Gazette
about Ottokar Malek, the great Bo-
hemian piano virtuoso who gave a re-
citaI at the State Normal school at
Emporia Tuesday night. The Gazette
SAYS:
Mr. Malek exactly fits Emporia's no
ton OF a musical artist He is tall and
slender and has a big shock of brown
hair He has a pale, spiritual face, has
the required foreign name and foreign
accent in his English, is rather care
less as to his personal appearance, and
has a Romantic Past.
He smokes a great number of cigar
cites, which he makes himself from
imported tobacco which smells like a
fire in a dry goods store Yesterday
through his daily practice, and horri-
fed the Normal people by rolling
cigarette and lighting it while at work.
The janitor heard of it, and almost
ried to Mr.. MaIek and in a severe tone
commanded him to Throw that thing
out of the window at once" The artist
did not obey with enough alacrity to
suit the janitor, and he repeated his
command in still more stern voice
cigarette without moving, and the jan
itor, to whom disobedience was I'M
heard of. said in tone that would
crush the proudest, DO you know who
the janitor.'' said the autocrat of the
Normal well, I am t. asserted Ma
lex, and he took another drag at his
cigarette.
Malek has enga gements which viii
take him until May to fill, but ne says
he is getting mighty tired of it already.
He believes that a concert player leads
the worst life of any living person. He
says it takes him nearly all of the day
to practice for his concerts and nearly
all night to play and talk to the peo-
pie who wish to meet him.
In the Gazette's judgment the per-
Torrance at the Normal last night by
Ottokar Malek eelipsed any musical
event ever held in Emporia. The young
Bohemian who gave the recital is not
only the most accomplished pianist
he is considered by many competent
musical critics TO be the best in Amer
lea this season Not everyone who
heard Malek knew much about ''shad-

CHOKED WITH ice.
New York HarbOr Is Nearly I'm.
passbale to Boats.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Not for many
years have the harbor and river been
so choked with ice. as they were today.
Much of the difficulty was due TO the
fact that several large boats were sent
up the North river to break the ice,
and detached masses foated down TO
the serious interference of navigation.
At many of the Jersey City ferries it
was not possible to keep tugs in ser
vice to clear away the ice that clog
ged the slips and interfered with the
landing of ferryboats. The South
Brooklyn ferry and the South street
and Hamilton street ferry were obliged
to suspend their service, owing to the
ice becoE7 ing packed in impenetrable
masses near the Brooklyn shore. The
suspension of the ferries diverted great
crowds to the Brooklyn bridge, where
the congestion was very serious near
the evening rush hours. Fully one-third
of the harbor tugs that ventured out
were disabled by injuries to their pro-
pellOrs by the ice flow.

ing and "phrasing" and "technic," or
whether he got such exquisite touch
through his dexterity, or by pedaling or
by wearing his hair long, but no one
at the concert last night who listened
attentively and Sympathetieally could
help but enjoy the performance, or fail
to see that Mr.. Malek reads music with
perfect understanding. and that he has
prac1iced his art until he is able to
make others see and understand as
perfectly as he does.
The programme selected by Mr..
Malek for last nights performance was
unfamiliar to the audience, and rather
heavy, but every number was selected
for the beauty of the music rather than
to show off the dexterity of the per-
former. There is some diversity of
choice, as the most beautiful numbers
given by Mr.. Ma1ek. the Rondo move
ment in G. major by Beethoven, the
Haydn Andante movement, the
Chopin Fantasia, the two short Gruen-
field numbers and LISTS '-Tarenteila''
are all spoken of for first honor. Each
of the ten numbers on the programmes
showed a different phase of his ability.
in the Beethoven number he was able
to show the most exquisite shading and
in the List number he displayed his
brilliant technic-
For the greatest pianist in the coun-
try with a reputation in Europe as well
as here Mr.. Malek is a wonderfully
unasSuming young man. his manner
on the stage was gracious anu ulSnl-.
fed. and he does not rant or do any
contortionistic feats in any of his num-
bers.
Here is another and more technical
opinion by Miss 10 Shipley Watson:
Ottokar Malek. the Bohemian pianist,
is a wonderful artist. To hear him is
to form new ideas of the possibilities of
the piano. He is not a piano virtuoso
who seeks to astOund, amaze. bewilder
and confound his hearers with feats Of
skill and endurance.
Malek is essentially a coIorist; his
claim to distinction lies in his ability
to produce with the utmost exactness.
finish and purity, the veriest whispers
of tone. His execution is faultless.
There is a delicacy and -1ightness about
Malek's technic that is impossible to de-
scribe. Whether he plays Beethoven or
Haydn, Brahms or Chopin, Greenfield or
List, he never sacrifices melody and
tonal beauty. His interpretations show
the development Of a master mind. and
one learns from Malek the true meaning
of tone poetry and realizes that there
is a new prophet in the pianistic
world.

PEABODY'S BURDEN.

Owners to Make Terms.

Denver, Colo, Feb. Ex-Governor
Peabody returned today from visit
to the Cripple Creek district, where q
banquet in his honor was given by the
Republican club. In their addresses
the governor and others in his party,
including Rev. T. H Malone, strongly
advised the mine owners to make
terms with the union miners, who
have been on strike since last August.
The governor said:
I think 1 have done my duty in
bringing about law and order in the
Cripple Creek district, and now I will
take the burden from my shoulders
and place it on yours. In doing this I
would suggest that the olive branch,
the hand of friendship, should be ex-
tended to the striking miners, and that
harmony between the employer and
the employe should be brought about"

K. U. is prepared to play very fast
game. This is the first game which K. L.
has played in competition with any other
school and the team is therefore an I'M

four girls basketball teams regularly at
practice at K. u, from which the best
material will be selected to meet Wash
burn. These four teams have been play
ing against each other for some months
and under the best of coaching. The game
between Washburn and K L. will de-
eide the state championship, for Wash
burn has beaten everything it has played
so far.
There is a great deal of enthusiasm
about the game at Washburn and there
will no doubt be a big crowd on hand to
