MESSAGES KEYNOTE
rs GOLDEN RULE
"common Problems Of Life Dealt with
Directly" Declares Attorney in
s Address Before City
Club

Declaring that President Roosevelt by
his recent acts had done more for the
moral fiber of the republic than any one
else, Attorney Thomas e. Gibbon an
alyzed the recent message to congress as
document which will live In history
yesterday at the weekly meeting of the
City club at the Westminster
The prominence which the president
gave to the moral aspect of public mat
tiers impressed Mr.. Gibbon forcibly. In
previous messages of presidents glittering
eeneralties had been generally resorted
to, he said.
Handling the more important features
of the message the speaker divided 1t into
the interstate commerce, the Sherman
antitrust law, the income and inheri-
tance taxes and the enforcement of laws.
"Mr. Roosevelt takes up the commonest
problems of office" he continued. "and
deals with them directly in what he so
aptly terms the square DEAL
His entire discussions of the relations
of capital and labor and the interdepend-
ence of each is simply an appeal for the
exercise of the golden rule.
His. discussion of the instrumentalities
of interstate commerce are among the
greatest evidence of his powers of states
manship and mark him as one of the
ablest public men of modern times"
Mr. Gibbon quoted from English and
New York papers to show that the presi-
dent had merely labored to safeguard the
interests of the people and that the facts
spoke for themselves whether Roosevelt
or the wrongdoers had brought about the
temporary lack of confidence which
caused recent troubles in finances.

COUNCIL HOLDS UP BILLS
TO FORCE MORE LAMPS
Finance Committee Takes Drastic
Action with Company Which Is
Slow with, Installing Over
due Lights

Because the Fifth ward got no new
lights Chairman Wallace of the finance
committee of the council yesterday or
dered the bill of the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company for November, amount.
ing to s12.240. held up.
Tired of delays in installing the re-
mainder of the 200 lights which the city
ordered months ago, Mr. Wallace decided
that one way to force haste was to tie
up the bills.
Every councilman has complained about
the delay in installing the last Install
ment of eighty-six lamps,
The November bill is for street lights
and incidentals and will be shelved until
definite action is taken toward supplying
the backward lamps.
The company maintains that at the figure
it agreed to supply illumination to the
city most of the lights are operated at a
loss, and as new contracts will soon be
in order to put in lamps now for few
months use would simply add to present
losses.

MISS LUCY FuHRER, cELLIsT WITH woMANs ORCHESTRA

She also has charming personality and
good enunciation.
Carl Lancer, famous American violin
virtuoso and violin maker, has devised a
method of developing violins by the use
of an electric machine A good sized
electric engine runs the gear that moves
the bow across the strings. The object
is nothing more or less than to give a
new violin in few weeks the same me-
chanical amount of bowling that it would
get in the ordinary course of time II it
was played on for number of years by
virtuosos.
There is seldom less than five violins
at one time developing. Each instrument
is held SO firmly that there can be no
possibility cf a jar, as the electric bow
is held firmly in the clutch of grip"
The violin low is made of solid steel and
finest copper and silver wires, so that it
can move while charged with the electric
current. back and forth, bearing lightly
on the violin strings and giving. to all
intents and purposes, the same touch as
the human arm. No one is allowed in
the testing shop. as the virtuoso calls it.
Lancer comes from a family of great
violin makers in which for five genera
tions the male members have devoted
their attention to the fashioning of
stringed Instruments. Among others. is
the last one made by the inventor S
father, Charles Lancer, who died two
years ago and was known as the dean
of violin makers in this country.
Lanzer's name is as we'll known in the
musical world. where his opinion is con-
sidered fina', as that of the Cremona vio-
lin. The inventor says that what gives q
violin its tone was not it's actual age, not
the time that had elapsed since 1t was
made. but simply the amount of "exer-
else" 1t got by practicing upon it. The
vibrations. 1t is said, are what gives the
wood the softness and pliability necessary
to produce brilliant tone, and a violin,
II 1t has lain untouched for years. does
not improve in tone at all.
Whether Lancer will now push his
novel invention and endeavor to put on
the New York market, placing new vio-
Inns treated by the electric process in
competition with the old Cremonas is
not yet known. The, invention has proved
great success, and 1t will always be
kept secret in the Lancer family. just
as they had kept their violin varnish in
vention a secret these past fifty-fve
years.
Lancer also claims the honor of being
the first American violinist. and will
play during the coming spring in London
and other cities of Europe, under the
management of Rudolph Aronson of New
York, to concertize and play the moSt
popular melodies and national songs Of
all the different countries, using the in
strrment that has become famous in
musical circles and is known as the
Lanzer violinola, being a combination Of
tone Of violi.. and viola. It Is the largest

season last Friday evening at Simpson
auditorium and despite the rainy weather
the house was packed and proved most
enthusiastic audience.
The club was assisted by Wenzel Kopto,
violinist, and number of members of
the club, Mrs. Lemuel Selby sang PEN
elope elm Gewand Wirkend," by Bruch,
in most pleasing manner. Her voice is
a contralto of very good quality. She
deserved the hearty encore which was
given her.
The program last evening was interest
ing and the second number, 1.-THE Halls
of the Atrides," by Chausson, was par
ticularly well given.
The "Sancto Maria" by Faure-Shelley,
was sung with organ and piano accom-
paniment This chorus was a very dra-
matte composition and was given in good
style. A very bright and dainty chorus
was the "Carmena Waltz" by Wilson.
The ensemble of this club Is very good
indeed and has made marked improve
ment since it's last concert, and much
praise Is due both the director and the
members of this splendid organization.

Music will be strong feature of THE
Sign of the Cross at the Auditorium this
week, and Dick Ferris has shown COM
mendable taste In his selections for that
important part of a finished performance.
A quartet composed of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Balfour, the delightful soprano
and tenor, with Miss Carrie Thomas as
alto and George Dunwell as basso, will
render the sacred hymns of the early
days, while chorus of fifty choice voices,
under the baton of Prof. j. p Dupuy, Will
also be heard. The ancient chants on the
one hand with the revelous music of the
Roman 'feasters on the other, will make
a strong contrast. The orchestra also
will be considerably augmented, and the
whole will afford an evening as strong
musically as it undoubtedly will be dra-
matically. 1 congratulate Mr.. Ferris on
his foresight and care in looking after
this feature.
