Hammer Symphony Orchestra.

The success Of the first recital Of Prof.
Heinrich Hammers Symphony Orchestra
at the Belasco Theater yesterday after
noon was attested throughout by the
spontaneous and prolonged applause Of an
enthusiastic audience. The occasion
served to convince the most skeptical
of musical Washingtonians that here in
their midst are artists competent to es-
tablish and maintain an orchestra worthy
Of the National Capital, provided the sup
port merited by its splendid performance
OF yesterday is accorded by the public.
Prof. Hammer himself has made good
his reputation as a musical organiser and
Interpreter. Yesterdays results were re-
markable. considering the limitations
preparation. There were. inevitably. some
defects, such, for instance, as the great
enthusiasm Of one over-ambitious violin
and a lack OF certainty on the part OF the
French horns. But, withal, Beethoven
two magnificent symphonies. the first and
the fifth, were rendered with excellent
artistic expression.
When Prof. Hammer. alone and for .
time unaided. undertook the task of or
ganiZing what would indeed really be a
symphony orchestra capable Of interpret
ing and presenting as they should be the
tenal beauties Of the great compositions,
there was some natural doubt as to the
practicability of the enterprise The in
trinsic difficulties and the past experience
of his predecessors. perhaps. were re-
membered. Nor was public Indifference
to be disregarded in a work that demand
ed not only artistic ability OF high order,
patience and perseverance, but the ele-
ment of financial support which is indis-
pensable to SO great an undertaking.
Those who heard the first concert yes
terday were delighted with the splendid
results already achieved. AS now con-
stituted, the orchestra Is especially eff
fective in the stringed instruments. A.
little Strengthening in the weodwinds,
perhaps, already quite efficient, and an
Improvement with the brasses will bring
the organization to q symmetrical COM
pleteness.

RABBI SIMON URGES BOYCOTT
INDIGNANT AT MISREPRESEN-
TATIoN OF THE JEWS.
Advises Withdrawal of Support
From Theaters Where the Race
Is Depicted Unfavorably.

Rabbi Simon in the Eighth Street Tenn
pie last night in an address on Fhe
Jew as Exploited on the Stage arraigned
theatrical managers and playwrights who
depict only the baser principles and types
Of the race. He called on the Hebrews
of Washington to withdraw their patron
age from theaters where their race is
misrepresented
A Combined Protest.
II believe said DR.. Simon, 1.-The time
is not more than months distant when
the Jews OF this country will. by voice
and withdrawal of patronage, protest In
unity against the Misrepresentation or
the Jewish race and its members on the
stage
Illustrating the manner in which the
race is wronged. DIR. Simon pointed out
French play which has been Ameri-
canized and produced in this country.
The play was described to the audience
as DIR. Simon saw it, Its most striking
feature, he said, was it's anti-semitic pref
udice and revelations of Jewish char
acter's indiscretions. The audience was
asked If such a play bearing name
which would suggest that it told a story
of representative Jewish life was just
Interpretation of the Jew.
Would Hit at the Box Office.
1--WE stand for it to be exploited. we
pay for it and we haven't the backbone
to resent it," said DR.. Simon. But it is
time we resent it, What has been done
by the Irish-and 1 glory in their cour-
age-what has been done by the Jews of
some Of the western cities, can be done
by us. The managers will consider the
effect upon their pockets.
when the management of theater
wants to gather in a great harvest of
ducats," he continued "he produces q
play that scandalizes the Jew, or one
that SO idealzes him that we do not
recognize him as our own

fought Manchuria was occupied entirely
by Russia, which, instead of restricting
it's military participation to the railroad
zone essayed to control the entire region.
We complained against that. and the
war followed Russia's declination to with
draw its troops.
Intrenchment Only Purpose.
Our activities now in 4,lanchuria are no
more than would be those OF the United
States or Great Britain if either were TO
obtain similar concessions from China
We have attempted merely to intrench
ourselves securely. and that is purely
what America would do if it were TO
secure such concessions. We no DOUBT
have slight commercial advantage over
the other nations, and in this sense our
presence in Manchuria may be character
lied as an infringement on the open-door
policy, but | think when the matter Is
considered sanely and fairly no CRITICISM

AUTO PROGRESS.
Not So Marked in 1909 as i'm
Recent Years.
Would Indicate That Perfection
Is Near.
AMERICAN BUILDERS
Have Taken Initiative and Rival
France and Germany.
Most Important of Changes for
This Year.

Lack of great change indicates that
perfection is near.
For the season of 1909 in the automo-
bile world no surprising changes have
been brought about in the styles and
types of motor-cars and motorcycles.
The various factories of both motor cars
and motor cycles are vieing with each
other toward perfection and minimum
cost, yet there is only one important
change in the mechanical construction
of the motor car, and that is the per-
fection of the siX-cylinder car put out by
the Z. X. Thomas, and some other fac
tories. In a way the six cylinder car is
still an experiment, though a large num-
Der have been on exhibition in the 1909
shows. To the American motor car
builders is due the credit for the six
cylinder car, as the first to be perfected
was an American car. England is work
ing to some extent on the six-cyIinder
car, While France and Germany are sit
ting by and watching the outcome.
The initiative during the past year of
the American builders of auto carriages
both two wheeled and four wheeled has
placed this country in prominent place
in motordom. Formerly France and
Germany held first place in the auto
world. so far as the mechanical con-
StructiOn is conserved, and the fact that
the car was a German or French added
n. uch to it's value. This, however, is rap
luly DeCOtllnS d InlnS OF the past ana
the pace now being set by this country
is rapidly giving her first honors.
One other noticeable change made
this season is in the propelling shaft
or drive. Commonly the drive was
joined to the engine under the hood
of the car and then Joined to the
wheels at the rear, passing one. and
sometimes two curves upon an incline
and caused much useless friction,
wearing out the shaft in time. To
prevent this friction and constant
wear, the ingenuity of the engineers
was taxed to provide some kind of
casing in which the joints of the bar
could be encased in oil at the curves
of the chassis. But the best of the
preventives were poor and until the
chassis which allowed the straight
drive, was built this season, the old
drive was one of the horrors of the
repair man. The new drive, which is
being used by two or three manu-
facturers, connects Immediately from
the engine with the rear wheels and
is all one piece. lying horizontally in
the chassis on a level with the body
of the car.
The comfort of the passenger is a
thing the manufacturers are giving
more attention to this year. The six

cylinder car has an advantage in this
respect, in that it rides easier and
without constant vibration NO
cranking is necessary at the start ana
the body can be made absolutely
palatial.
The demand for artistic bodies has
drawn the designers VINO have for
merly given their attention to the
designs of buggies and horse-drawn
vehicles, to the designing of catchy
automobile bodies.
The fact that owners of large tour
ing cars often overload the car, thus
overstraining the parts and greatly re-
ducing the life of the tires, has
brought popularity to car OF quanty
with a small body. The small design,
adding so greatly to the life of the
tires has more significance than is gem
orally thought. The great expense in
keeping a motor car has formerly re-
stricted it's use to the Weather class.
The tire has always been one of the
greatest expenses. The reduction or
the expense of keeping a car is rapid
ly making it a commodity for the
masses.
The magnetic in the ignition system,
which is an aim at simplicity. is an
other development of this season. With
the modern high tension magnetic the
wiring is confined to four high tension
ca bles, which run from the distributor
plate to the plugs while a low tension
wire goes to the dashboard switch
From a critical review of this season
cars it can be seen that the magnetic
is being fitted on low price as we'll as
expensive ones.
Changes as to the motors, means of
control. brakes etc. are constantly be-
ing made. The field for development
along these lines is limitless.
1t will be seen from this brief re-
view that no great improvement has
been made in the past year. Simpl1-
city and acceleration in the machinery
seems to be the chief aim.
The question has been asked, has
perfection been reached in the auto
lists realm-nothing ever gets too good
to be improved in America The alb
sence of any great change, however,
would indicate that practical perfec-
ton has been attained and the auto
has surpassed everything for pleasure,
convenience and utility in locomotion-
