-Four Great Musicians.

Palestrina was a revolutioniSt in his
day, but is o virtually obsolete even
FOR the severest classicists. Gluck was
as radical an %innovator as Wagner,
yet it is only occasionally and with
difficulty that one of his works can
now be briefly resuscitated. Beetho-
ven was a mailman even to many Of
the best musicians as late as 1905,
when. as that musical veteran, Pro-
lessor Haupt, himself said the Fifth
Symphony" was rehearsed in Berlin
for the first time and the orchestra
dashed the music from the racks, de-
claring it was crazy and could never
be played. Now this same Fifth Sym
phony" is considered a model Of form,
and Its composer is the cherished idol
OF conservatives and classicists.

More than 100000 acres are annual

varieties grown is peculiar in that it
Is too glutinous to be boiled in the or

by boiling it in bamboo tubes, and
after being thus prepared it is left in
the tubes to be eaten cold. especially
by travellers. When the rice is to be
eaten the bamboo is peeled off and a
long roll Of rice appears, which forms
an excellent substitute for bread.

A b~readmaking machine which will
quickly knead enough dough to make
one to six loaves of bread has been
invented by a New Jersey man. The
machine is in the form of a cylinder
which can be clamped fast to the
kitchen table and which has a lid
hinged to the top. Inside the cylinder
Is a spiral blade which is operated by
q handle at one end. The dough is
poured inside, and as the handle turns
it mixes and kneads by compression
against the ends of the cylinder. The
consistency of the dough can be
Judged by the difficulty with which
the handle works without the trouble
Of lifting the lid. This method Of
kneading is not only much easier and
quicker than doing the work by hand,
but is more sanitary. If the machine
is kept clean it is likely to be much
cleaner than the cooks hands, no mat

AT TORNEY GENERAL
TO PROSECUTE lee
FOR BIG NAVY THEFT
Former Georgia Paymaster
to Plead Guilty to En-
bezzlement.

The prosecution Of Edward Valentine
Lee, arrested after a spectacular career
on charge of stealing $4,000 from the
paymaster's safe aboard the battleship
ruary, will be conducted by the De-
partment OF Justice, 1t was announced
today. Lee was arrested at Buffalo
and may be prosecuted there.
Lee was arrested by agents Of the De-
question Of whether the Department of
Justice or the Navy Department would
take the initiative in prosecution. The
Justice Department announced today,
however, that 1t would prosecute.
Where Lee will be prosecuted has not
yet been decided. 1t was said at the
Attorney Generals office today that
that matter would be publicly discussed
later. When a man commits himself
aboard vessel of the navy, he Is held
as having committed himself on the soil
Of the United States, and be may be
committed, under the statutes, at a
port of entry or place of arrest The
that the decision in regard 10 Lees
prosecution probably would be made
this afternoon or tomorrow.
The Navy Department announced to-
day that 1t had taken no action in re-
gard to the prosecution Of Lee. The
Navy Department has Jurisdiction to
try the case, II 1t should think a trial
by court-martial expedient. 1t could
try the case on much broader lines
than could an ordinary court. The gen.
eral charge Of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman" for example,
could be presented, so that II the tech
nical charge Of larceny or "embezzle-
ment'' or robbery that might be
charged against Lee by a grand jury
were faulty a general charge might
cover his case.
There was no general discussion Of
his case a. the Navy Department, how
ever Lee was navy pay clerk, and
was not known personally to many Of
ficials. They seemed today to regard
the remainder Of his unfortunate story
as a matter Of court proceedings.
Lee Is twenty-six years old and
native OF RussellvilIe. Ky. His salary
was $40 a month. It is said that he
began to make small embezzlements.
and let the habit grow. He Is expected
to plead guilty when arraigned in the
court at Buffalo, where he was arrested,
to the charge Of embeZZlement.

EXPLOSIVE BURNS
At NAVY MAGAZINE
WITHOUT FATALITY
Three Hundreds Pounds De-
stroyed- Employees Flee
to Safe Distance.

Three hundred pounds Of high explo-
sive stored in one of the navy's build
ings at the Bell View magazine, on the
Potomac river, few miles below wash
ington, burned harmlessly this morning.
while marines. gunners and fremen
waited a half mile away for the ex-
plosion which seemed inevitable Pre-
caution Of the Government experts in
having the explosive wrapped In COM
bustible materials averted the catas-
trophe.
The fire was discovered early this
morning by Charles Hayes, an employe
at the magazine. Hayes aroused the
gunner, who resides about 500 yards
away from the magazine with his fam
lily. and the two men at first attempted
to enter the building and quell the blaze.
Upon the discovery that all the four
walls were fired they retreated TO a
safe distance to await the explosion.
The fireboat went to the scene of the
blaze, but was able to do nothing, as
its streams were not powerful enough
to reach the flames from a safe dis
lance. No. Chemical Engine also was
sent to the fire from the city, but did
not go into action.
The Government officials, after max
ing an investigation, placed the loss on
the explosive at S1.400, and on the build
ing $500. The building burned was one
OF group situated at GieGboro. D. c.,
about two miles below the -Sterl-
Ing Steel Company's plant.
