SABIN'S music ON
DANROSCH CARD
Bohemian Club Member Directs
Orchestra During Rendition
of His Own Composition
By WALTER ANTHONY

In many respects last nights program
was the best yet given by Damrosch
and his symphony orchestra. 1t was
best because of the presence of Mozarts
jubilant Jupiter symphony, Berlioz
Dance of the Sylphs" and Dance of
the VIII o. the Wisps," not to mention
transcription from the piano score of
a Schuberts Moment Musical" and a
Grieg Norwegian Dance" But mainly
it was best because of the Mozart num-
Der which was entirely within the in
strumental limitations of the orchestra
and did not reveal what passionate
Tschaikowsky and tumultuous Wagner
programs disclose-numerical weakness
of the strings.
The Mozart symphony was played
with charming Journalism and spirit
No thunderous blasts of trumpets de-
luged the dainty violin themes. The
andante movement was pure melody,
and the finale and its fugue We're clear
as mountain brooks The meanderings
of the melodies were as plainly defined
as paths over green meadows, and the
whole work was a delight to the ear.
&. The Berlioz selections from THE
Damnation of Faust" were likewise for
strings and wood wind mainly and the
French instrumentalist was given a
splendid hearing at the hands of Dam
rosch and his men. The harpist in the
Sylph dance was badly placed in the
wings, for his playing of the harmonics
suggested that wed like to see the man
who did so well.
The classy Rakoczy march finished
the first half of the program and left us
wondering how our home composers
music was going to sound in such
classic company. Wallace A. Sabin
stood the difficult test admirably. His
Bohemian club music never sounded so
well unless it was at the clubs summer
retreat, when 1t had it's first hearing a
year ago. The chorus composed of club
members, and the soloists assisted by
Damrosch's singers, Reed Miller and
Marcus Kellerman, gave lively inter-
probation to the characteristic music
that Sabin wrote in Celtic mood. The
composer directed chorus and orchestra
while Walter Damrosch sat in the the
ater and enjoyed it.
Warning is hereby given that today
and tomorrow will see the last Of Dam
rosch and his players. Two concerts
today, a Wagner and a Beethoven fes-
tival; and a Tschaikowsky program to-
morrow will provide the last of SYM
phony until Damrosch or some one else
comes over into Macedonia to help us,
that is. unless we help ourselves and do
as Seattle has done-get an orchestra
of our own.

OILMEN OBJECT TO
The PICKET BILL
CaIifornians Ask That With
drawals Shall Be Limited to
Un0ccupied Land
[SpeeiaL Dispatch 10 The Call

WASHINGTON, May discrimination
of oil lands from the scope of the Pick
EFT withdrawal bill seems impossible
to this conclusion and their only effort
at the hearing before the house COM
mittee on public lands today was to
ask that the presidential withdrawal
should be made to apply only to ''un-
occupied lands'
Most of the day was spent in con-
siaering what was to be regarded as
"unoccupied lands Some of the CAL
ifornians thought that those claims
that had been merely staked should not
be affected by the withdrawal orders
while others agreed with those of the
committeeman who argued that some
substantial development work should
be done on the claims before any rights
of priority We're recognized.
At present it appears that the Cali
fornians will have to await the franz
ing of an oil lands law providing for
the disposition of these lands by the
government. 1t will be Impossible to
consider such measure during this
session.
The oil men asserted that il the bSll

drawn from entry before oil had been
struck.
The Californians said that various
amounts from $4,000 to 100000 had
been spent in drilling on land later
withdrawn and to which they would
had no right. One witness told how
his company spent $646,000 in one field
in California and struck oil in only one
we'll. He said that his company would
have to discontinue operations, if the
withdrawal bill forced it to cease drill

PANAMA To BUILD
ISTHMUS RAILROAD
Line Viii Fill One of Last Gaps
in Projected Pan=Ameri=
can Route

The republic of Panama has begun
the preliminary work of building the
isthmus section of the much talked of
Pan-American railroad, according to
official dispatches received in this city
The amazing feature of the news is that
the government proposes to meet all
the expenses of construction and later
operate the railway as a governmental
function. The plucky little republic, it
is understood, proposes to show the
world that without a single loan the
expensive work of railroad building
can be accomplished.
The government has sent a corps of
engineers under Engineer Ruggles,
head of the Panama railroad staff, over
the proposed route to survey the line.
The report was confirmed yesterday by
the consul general of Panama, j. M.
Fernandez.
The line is to connect Panama city
with David in the northern and west
ern section of the republic. The dis
tance traversed approximately will be
275 miles A branch line also will be
surveyed running for a distance of 100
miles into the western province of Los
Santos with terminal at Pedasi
Pedasi is seaport town with a fine
harbor, so that the interior country
will be opened to Pacific coast COM
merce
The main line will pass through the
provinces Of Panama, Coole, Veraguas
and Chiriqui. The country traversed
offers many interesting engineering
problems fraught in many cases with
swamp epidemics The country is prac-
tically new and the line is expected to
develop great mineral resources.
Rail connection along the projected
Pan-American route can now be had
to Tapachula, a southern point in Mex
leo bordering on Guatemala. From the
Mexican border for a distance of 25
miles into Guatemala a strip is yet to
be covered to complete rail connections
with the Guatemala Central road that
operates to Guatemala City. This gap
it is announced will be bridged in three
months time.
The uncompleted link has been a bone
of contention for years with the Guate-
maian government and it is generally
believed that the little republic op-
posed it on the ground that it would
give Mexico too easy method of con-
ducting quick military invasion.
Salvador has a number of railroads run
ming the length of the republic and
in Costa Rica American capital is now
laying rails, so that with the patch
ing of a few of the gaps and the com
pletion of the Panama line the Pan
American line will be an accomplished
fact

OLD SHAKER COLONY
NOW IN BANKRUPTCY
Communistic Body in United
States DwindIes to 1000

News that the property of the Shaker
colony at Union Village, o., has gone
into the hands of a receiver and that
the colony itself will probably soon be
wiped out by the death of it's venerable
members. calls attention to the slow
passing of the oldest communistic re-
igious body in the United states, says
the Detroit Free Press In 1887 there
were 1000 Shakers in the country; to-
day there are fewer than 1000. scat
tered in Is colonies.
Because the Shakers have always
been a harmless. lovable. inohensive
folk of marked individuality, they have
made a deeper impression on the coun-
try than many a much larger sect, and
they have figured rather extensively in
story and novel.
They anticipated the prophecy of
Annie Besant. she OF the astral insight,
by more than a century, accepting
Anne Lee, alias "Anne the Word" and
Mother Anne" as reincarnatiOn Of
Christ. But they worship neither
Christ nor Anne Lee, but simply "The
Highest Good" and while they esteem
the bible they consider much of il
secular writing, and believe in cOntin-
uous revelation.
This has led them to accept spirit
ualism. They are temperate. frOwn
upon tobacco. eat no meat and cancer
is unknown among them. From this
the vegetarians may perhaps draw
some comfort.
Being a species of Quaker, they are
noncOmbatants. They amassed con-
siderable wealth through their indus
try. but the money appears to be slip
ping away with the membership.
The explanation of the Shakers al
ways small numbers and their present
decline is to be found. of course. in
their doctrine of celibacy. They do not
oppose marriage for others. but they
hold that the welded state prevents
the attainment of angelic orders
The Shakers have been so unique a
factor in American life and so whole
somely picturesque that their decline
is more than pathetic. 1t is an ethical
disaster.

A PASSENGER WHEN
YOU DECIDE TO RIDE
Court Awards Damages to Lad
Who Was Not on Train

IL you are awaiting the arrival of a
train with the intention of boarding if.
you are passenger just as much as if
you were in the coach, says the appel
late division of the supreme court of
New York. George Schaffier was stu
dent at Morris high school, He was
awaiting his train at the temporary
shack used by the New Haven railroad
at Hunts point in June, 1908, when a
work engine came by pushing a car
from which long iron bar protruded.
The car caught the lad and pushed him
on the track A wheel of the car passed
over his leg, which later was ampu-
tated below the knee.
The railroads attorney contended
that the lad was not passenger at
the time he was hurt, and that he was
in effect standing on a public highway.
The appellate court declares he was as
much a passenger as if he had been
riding on train and affirmed the YER
dict awarding $13,750 damages.
