MUSIC.
MIR. GABRILowITsoH's RECITAL

That pleasure of the highest order can be derived
from recital OF pianOforte music IN the midst Of
musical season so full OF occurrences that mere
contemplation OF the list is calculated to make the
mind Of the ordinary music patron reel was the
lesson learned at the concert which Mr.. Gabrilo-
Witsch gave in Mendelssohn Hall yesterday after
noon. Mr. Gabrilowitsch was decorous and good
hammered in the composition Of his programme.
he did not design it to amaze and confound by an
exhibition of those digital featsI which long ago
lost their potency that direction but put forth
list Of musical pieces which for the greater part
We're calculated 70 give delight for their purely
musical value. And as he played them they served
mat most laudable purpose with fine efficiency.
4here was BeethOven's Rondo in G major op 81,
70 begin with; then Prelude in minor. a
Sarabanda in minor. and Gavotte IN minor
tthe last transcribed from Sasns from the sec
ond violin sonata. by Bach; then two numbers by
Schuoert-the Moment Musical" in A fiat ma Jor.
ana the Minuet from the Sonata in O. Oh. 7s This
concluded the portion, which though unconven-
uonal' corresponded with the classical prologue
winch planoforte virtuosl have long regarded as
essential to a proper recital programme. II was
the portion. moreover on which reviewer might
dwell TO enforce the fact that nothing Of its kind
mas been offered TO the public by a pianoforte
virtuoso this which was so completely salts
Tying to sound taste and healthy apprecia-
ton OF the best IN music. Mr. Gahrilowitsch
read MS Bach like a master whose sole
delight was in proelaiming it's lofty lowell
ness; not dryly. pedautioaly nor affectediy.
as If he had conceived emotional mysteries
OF which no others had yet dreamed. In his ex-
position there exquisite logical clarity beaut
fui symmetry, phrase set against phrase with per-
fect balance. and perfect euphony. All this met
with appreciation from an audience which filed
tho room and was yet made up for the greater part
or knowing persons. Grateful appreciation found
expression after every number. and after the Ga
Vote there was unmstakable demand for more
music Of the same kind He met IT with repeti-
tton of the extremely effective piece Ths middle
number Of his scheme Chopin's Sonata m
NAT minor after which came music Of a more sU-
peThcial and snowy order-two preludes by Arensky
we must have the Russians with always. and
Nj Gabrilowitsch is easily pardoned for some
attention to his countrymen-an intermezzo in
octaves by Leschetizky, and theme and variations
by the concert giver. Mr.. Gabrilowitsch is as
sweetly sane reader OF Chopin as he is OF Bach.

CAR SHORTAGE
is SERIOUS
Due Solely to Increased Demands
Upon the Railroads.
During Month Of February the Roads
OF the United States We're i5O,-
600 Cars Behind Demands Made
on Them-Not Duo to Decreased
Efficiency,

Chicago, April 25. - During the
month OF February the railroads OF the
United States were, it is estimated,
nearly 10000 cars short of the de-
mands made upon them by the actual
traffic offered foi transportation. This
amazing fact was given to the Ameri-
can Railway association at it's closing
session today and the knowledge of it
won the day for eome drastic measures
to correct the evil.
The problem of car shortage, the op-
Grating men declare, is today the great
est and the giavest which the railroads
have to face and to solve. 1t was stat
ed that searching investigation dis
closed the fact that the car shortage is
not due to decreased car efficiency, as
the records showed that the average
daily movement of all freight cars had
been 25.4 miles. 1t was therefore con-
-cl ided that the shortgae is due to the
extraordinary increase in the demands
made upon the railroads.
The committee also reported that it
had confirmed the general opinion that
great deal can be accomplished to i'm
prove the situation which has been
.effecting partial paraly lysis OF the busi-
ness OF the country. First, by the rail-
roads themselves; second, by the rail-
roads in their relation to the public,
and third, by the railroads in their re-
lations with each other.

DECLINES TO BE RUSHED.
California Supreme Court to Hear
Rue,'s Case in Order.

San Francisco, April 26.-Abraham
Ruefs application for release on ball
from the custody Of Elisor Biggy, by
writ Of habeas corpus, will not be de-
cided at today's conference of the Su-
preme court, according to statement
to the Associated Press by Chief JUS
tiec Beatty, who said:
"The impression seems to have gone
abroad that there is great urgency for
an immediate decision in this matter.
There is no urgency. The matter stands
very we'll as it is. We do not view it
as taking precedence over other matters
priority filed, and it will not be deter
mined until reached in due course.
There are many other pressing and far
more important matters engaging the
court at present.
Demurrers to the nine indictments
for bribery which confront Louis 6 lass,
vice president Of the Pacific States Tel
ephone company, were submitted today
in Judge Lawlor's court by Attorney I.

After the reading of one Of the de-
murrers, the case was by agreement put
over until next Tuesday.
