NO COUNTY SECESSION

One of the surprises of machine legislation Sacra
mento Just before the close Of the session, was the
passage by the assembly of bill making provision for
the carving of counties. The bill had been squeezed
through the senate but there cause TO suspect
it's passage by the other branch.
1t provides that 60 per cent of voters in any section
of county, signing petition favoring the secession of
that section may call for the proposition. In
order to consummate a swchoff it is necessary only
for the voters in the seeding portion declare in
favor thereof
1t is ntimated that the bill in question
gineered through the legislature in the interest of
certain politicians in the eastern part of Los Angeles
county and another group in Santa Clara county There
may or may conditions warrantng the secession
of part of Santa Clara county but surely there
such conditions in Los Angeles county.
This county is not large enough either in
population make division desirable. The total vote
cast at the last election in the county less than
fifty thousand The population does not exceed five times
the vote and twohirds Of it is within the boundary
of Los Angeles city.
If restless California politicians yearnng to start
new counties they might crafty their ambition without
public disturbance by operating in the district
of San Bernardino county. There is enough ma
teria for county making there to supply dozens of
ventures there would be no likelihood of complaint
except from coyotes and jackrabbits.
The county secession bill should be promptly killed
by the governor

Pupils Recital

Seven pupils of Mr.. Thilo Becker
last evening presented a delightful
program most acceptably to an audi
ence that crowded Dobinson auditori-
um. The influence of the instructor
was shown in the similarity of style
in Interpretation as each pianist ap-
peared, but, inasmuch all who played
were we'll schooled, the music was en-
joyable. One or two of the pupils ex-
hibted mannerism that will be COR
rected, doubtless. and now and then
pianissimo passage was blurred but
the performance as whole was re-
markably good.
Olga Steeb, the wonderful child who
is known to the music loving public,
played the opening and closing num-
bers. She was heard in Bach fugue,
Mendelssohn fugue, the Brahms
scherzo, opus and lie Coucou." by

tunity to show her technique, her in
telligence and her musical feeling.
Miss Bess Daniels played the Beetho-
Ven Sonato opus rs, with much taste.
She has delicate touch and her shad-
ings were well brought out. Miss

prelude and fugue, opus s5. No. 1, for
her number and she performed It with
more than ordinary ability. her left
hand work being especially noteworthy.
Miss Bertha Schmied proved to be a
pianist Of brilliant promise, for she
has temperament and technical facility,
She played Schuberts Serenade and the
Chopin Poonase, opus 26, No. 1. Miss
Harriet Johnson showed more maturity
in her performance of two Chopin num-
bers than was revealed by those who
preceded her. The nocturne, opus. 81
No. 2, was played with fine apprecia-
tion and the Scherzo that followed per-
mitted the audience to appreciate her
full achievement in the mastery of
technical difficulties. Mr.. Clarence
Gustlin played a List number in a
manner that brought out much ap-
plause.
Mrs. William Botsford and Miss
Edna Darch were given a most cordial

Chopin etude and the Brahms rhap-
sody opus 70, No. 2, and Miss Darch
was heard in the Liszt "Benediction."

ors won last night by their instructor.
Miss Darch has the touch of poetic
feeling that bespeaks artistic success.
OF course many flowers were show
cred upon the pianists who found the
audience of friends quick to applaud
too quick now and then when a number
was interrupted by an impulsive hand
clap.

sical productions of modern times, will

cert at the Chutes theater tonight. In

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
The Symphony Concert

Dvorak's second symphony in L
minor was played yesterday afternoon
at the fifth concert of the Los Ange-
les Symphony orchestra. Harley Ham
ilton, the director, gave careful, well
studied reading of this work OF the
Bohemian composer whose death last
year came when American apprecia-
tion was generously given for the first
time The orchestra has steadily
gained in unity and quickness of re-
sponse. Its performance yesterday
was most creditable. The second and
third movements of the symphony
were played with fine effect and the
beauties of the last movement were
we'll brought out.
Maeame Fannie Francisco, the Cali
fornia soprano, was the soloist.
Madame Francisco challenged criti-
cism by singing the mad scene from
Lucia de Lammermoor," a selection
which is a severe test for the dramatic
attainment as we'll as the vocal equip
ment of any singer. The exquisite
quality OF her voice, Wnlcn mas sweet
ness, resonance and hexibility, won
much applause even though the phras-
ing and the method of tone production
might be criticised. AS an encore
Madame Francisco sang "The Last
Rose of Summer" taking the song on
a higher key than the usual setting.
This revealed her soprano range which
is really great, for nature has been
most generous in endowing this singer.
Madame Francisco has an attractive
stage presence and she made a pleas
ant impression on the audience.
The orchestra gave Beethoven S
overture THE Dedication of the Tenn
ple," a most difficult composition to
interpret, with much intelligence and
the concert closed with the Tschai-
kowsky ballet suite (The Nutcracker).
The Tschaikowsky dances were exqui-
sitely played and the lighter music
made a cheerful finale for the heavy
program.

alone as long as it moves rapidly. The
gas bag of the Santos-Dumont school
is not employed in this system of air
locomotion. Lilienthal began first with
a single outstretched fabric reaching
farther sidewise than fore and aft, and
he seated himself near the middle. He
had rudders to steer, and he employed
no motor. All that he could accomplish
was to make short flights from house
tops or the brow of a hill. Chanute, an
American, did the same trick with even
more facility.
Sir Hiram Maxim employed two
story aeroplane. 1t was big and heavy
and had a powerful steam engine to
drive it's propeIlers. 1t was not intend
ed that this cumbrous contrivancs
should make ascensions, but it was de-
signed to ascertain what horizontal
speed could be made. For that pur-
pose it was mounted on wheels and set
on a track. It developed a speed of
twenty-five miles an hour and then
lifted itself off the rails and fell with a
smash. Langley began his flying of
models in the autumn of 1893. Nine
secret trials were made over the Poto-
mac without a. single success. His lat
er efforts were more promising. Some
of the toy models, which were equipped
with tiny engines to furnish motive
power. actually flew.
But Professor Langley's theories have
proved thus far to be undemonstrabIe
practically. With all the resources of
the government at his command, he
has not been able to show the results
that have been obtained by the Santa
Clara air navigators. The great com
petition at the st. Louis fai, showed
the wonderful dirigfbiBty which has
been attained by machires of the gas
bag type. In that contest toe a Cali
