their eyes as they entered the
house, What fools these mortals

case.

Maud PoWell's Triumph.

Maud Powell yesterday afternoon as the
soloist for the eleventh of the Washington
College of Music concert series at the CO.
lumbia Theater gave a signal exhibition of
her phenomenal violin technique. She was
accompanied by Mr.. George Falkenstein
After opening with the Rondo Brilliant of
Schubert, with which she at once captured
her audience, Miss Powell played the Tartini
Lart de Tarchet, the art of bowling upon a
theme by Corelli. Throughout the exactions
Of this tour de force which was rendered
with absolute certainty, the E string con-
stantly slipped. Tightening the string and
playing without any apparent change in
tempo or effect, Miss Powell again scored
and on beginning the third number
found the E string peg broken.
During the delay for inserting a
new peg Mr.. Falkenstein played two
piano numbers and was enthusiastically
encored. OF the remaining numbers La
Fleurie. by Couperin-Powell. Rondo of Mo-
Fart, Concert de Salon of Arensky. Hubays
Zeflr, Schumann's Traumerei and Wieniaw-
skis Polonaise, D major, the Arensky num-
Der and the Zifer produced the greatest ap-
plause. All technical difficulties Miss Pow
ell surmounts with such perfect yirtuosity,
with such masculine yfgor that her repeated
recalls, to which she responded, were
tribute to pure mastership. The Vieuxtemps
encore gave an impression of three per-
fectly distinct violins.
Mr. Sidney Lloyd Wrightson announced
the concert of the English pianist, Gertrude
Peppercorn, for next Thursday, February

Grand Jury Finds Against New York
First Battery Commander

NEW YORK, February 16-Capt. Louis
Wendell of the LIST Battery was indicted by
the grand jury yesterday for larceny in the
first degree. There are two indictments
against him. He is charged with having GER
titled to the state that he paid more than
81, 600 for the use of horses for the battery,
although according to the indictments. he
never paid the money at all.
The grand jury has been investigating
Capt. Wendel's management of the list Bat
terry for several days, but there has been a
good deal of secrecy about what went on.
No one in the district attorneys Office would
give out the names of the witnesses who
appeared against Capt. Wendell. They be-
came public yesterday.
The witnesses were: Maj. Gen. Charles F..
Roe Nelson H. Henry. adjutant general Of
the national guard of the state; John H.
Campbell; Deputy City Chamberlain F. l.
Fuchs. who is lieutenant in the LIST Bat
terry: John G. Jansen. sergeant in the bat
terry, and James H. Hammond, who had
charge of letting out horses for the Wash
ington Heights Van Company.
1t is set forth in the first indictment that
on February 4. 1905. Wendell obtained from
the state S1.O21, and that on February 20,
1906. he obtained 81 .008 1t is charged that
in both cases he represented falsely that
he had paid these moneys to F.. c. Schiller,
the president Of the Washington Heights
Van Company. for supplying horses for the
members Of the battery for mounted drills
and parades. Wendell Is accused OF having
got this money from the state on false rep
RESERVATIONS. on the ground that the horses
were never furnished by the van company.
Wendell was arraigned before Judge Grain
in general sessions and held in 5000 bail,
81 500 on each indictment. Bail was fur
nished and he went away. Among his other
troubles there is a charge pending against

Thomas Caniff's Action at ScovilFs
 Being Investigated.

It is rumored that Thomas Caniff of East Main street, the employe Of the Scovill Manufacturing Co who was instrumental in saving the lives of couple of fellow workmen in an accident which occurred there some time ago, may receive a Carnegie heroic medal. The morning that James Ring lost his life because of coming in contact with a live electric wire, two of the electricians at work on the wires would undoubtedly also have met death were it not for Caniff. who, procuring pair Of rubbers, pulled them on his hands and with an old scissors cut the wire, releasing the men, who at that time were badly burned. The matter has been brought to the attention of the Car negie heroic fund and a representa- tive might come to this city to in- yestigate the circumstances.
