SCHROEDER TO Be
CONCERT SOLO|ST
Cellist to Play Here With
Boston Symphony
Orchestra.

Alvin Schroeder, 'cellist of the Boston
symphony Orchestra, for many years
cellist of the Kneisel Quartet, will be
soloist at the fourth Boston Symphony
concert at the National Theater next
Tuesday afternoon at 4:3O O'Clock.
He will play two works. One an
adagio, by Dvorak, which bears the
title of "Waldesrune," and the other,
Boellman's Symphonic Variations.
The symphony will be Schubert's i'm
mortal C-Major, the one of which has
been called a 'veritable storehouse of
melodies" 1t has also been called the
symphony of divine length" but that
name was given to it before the modern
composers began to write the SYM
phonies and symphonic poems of today.
As a matter. of fact judged by modern
standards, the C-Major is of moderate
length, but the multitude OF beautiful
mes in it more than exceed the time
taken in performance.
The program will be brought to an end
by two of the most popular symphonic
poems of the French composer. Camille
Saint-Saens. The first will be lie
Rouet d. Omphale" or 'Omphale's
Spinning Wheel" The other, the bril-
liant "Danse Macabre."

Electric Flash Signal System to Be

In view of the fact that large pro-
portion of the steamships and many of
the sailing vessels trading to Philadel-
phia are equipped with electric flash
signals and use the Morse code for sig
mailing purposes, the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange has decided to erect an cleo
trio flash system apparatus at Delaware
breakwater for the purpose of commu-
nicating at night with vessels passing

iiags will be used for signaling purposes
during the daytime. The use of the
electric flash and the Morse code, it is
claimed. will be of great value in ascer-
tanning the names Of vessels and re-
ceiving such other details as may
be necessary. for gathering maritime In
formation. Heretofore, the oid-stye
hand lamp has been in use for night
signaling purposes at the mouth OF Del

ASKS SENATE TODO
LESS 'W|NO-JAM|NG'
Veteran Writes Unique Letter
Urging Action to Increase
Age Pensions.

LESS gas and more action is the SUBJ
stance of plea which has been sent to
the Senate by \. L. Griffith of Pell City,
Ala.
Being an old soldier, in my eighty
first year of age, who served during the
war from 1861 to 1865 he says in his
letter. Il respectfully petition your hon
orable bodies to stop winijaming and
take a yea and nay vote on the pension
bill increasing our age pension unto
thirty-six dollars $3.50 per mcnth, as that
is the extreme limit Of the bill now pend
ing before your honorable bodies.
I'VE are all gratifed and pleased with
the speaches already delivered in favor
of the bill--they sound fine-but as we
are getting old, and time waits no man S
will, we prefer action TO words.
IF we have to await the delivery of
speaches of all who profess to love US,
We Will die CT old age before they get
through discussing it.
Votes are what We want, not gas.
Vote either for or against the bill. SO as
to relieve US of suspence.
Says Votes Are What Count.
for us Wind-jaming is not worth a
cuss.
Also add to the BILL if net already in
it, for the commissioner Of pension to be
governed by age given on the muster roll
at the time of enlistment and let the
pensioners draw from date OF the sigma
ture of the President.
Il have been told the Constitution gives
me the right to petition our honora BILE
bodies. If so, please have tie clerk read
this petition to your honors and publish
it in the Congressional Recor,s, and we
will ever pray
The Vice President. into whose hands

Fertilization of the Canal.

Mr.. Mead takes deep interest in the
agitation here over the fortification of the
Panama canal He Goes not believe In
the fertilization, and is gratified at the
strong opposition to ii in Congress. He
had talked with Representative Foster,
chairman OF the foreign affairs committee
of the House, who is opposed to II, as is
Representative Tawney, chairman of the
appropriations committee. He did not
think that Mr. TAFT argument in his
New York speech last Saturday night
that the Suez and Panama cases are not
analogous was the valid argument On
the cardinal point. MIR. Mead conten0eu
that the analogy holds; and Europe and
the world. he sad, would undoubtedly
consider our fortification Of the canal
a backward and reactionary step. Mr..
Mesd's attention being cal.eu to Mr. Car
nesies statement, just published, sup
porting the Presidents position, he SAID
ne regretted 1t ana did not feel IL to be
a logical statement, hign as his regard
is for Mr. Carnegie ana his services for
the peace cause.
MIR. Carnegie says" he said. that the
effect of non-fortitcation would be pro-
found. That is true. and Is hot changed
by saying that the President mas deciued
otherwise"

Arbitration of ALI Disputes.

Mr. Mead, in an interview with re-
porter for The Star yesterday expressed
his great satisfaction over the ar3itTa-
ton treaty which President Taft is now
negotiating with Great Britain, and which
is known to be of broader scope than
any arbitration treaty ever before con-
cluded between two great powers.
when Mr.. Taft. in his speech in New
York last spring. said Mr.. Mead, con
demned SO emphatically the reservation
from arbitration in the usual treaties or
so-called questions of honor ac showed
great common sense and gave strong en-
coura cement to the peace workers all
over the world. But he went still fur-
ther in his speech at the arbitt ION
convention in Washington last month.
He urged agreements to submit to an
International arbitral court every issue
which cannot be settled by diplomatic
negotiation no matter what involves,
whether honor, territory or money. lie
said that if we can negotiate an agree-
ment to this effect with some great ma
ton we shall have made a long step
forward toward establishing the same
system of law between nations that now
exists between individuals. This IS a
most advanced position, and this clearly
is what the President is embodying In
the new treaty with Great Britain, which.
understand. is likely to go to the Senate
