NEW YORK
SYMPHONY CONCERT

The regular sale of tickets for the
concert by the New York Symphony
Orchestra on Tuesday. Feb. 21st open
ed at the Park theatre box office this
morning. The interest manifested in
Mr.. Damroch's coming appearance
here as shown by the large subscrip-
ton sale still continues. There are still
plenty of good seats left but as they
are selling very fast do not delay in
securing your seats This concert is
not only open to the subscribers Of
the Wednesday Afternoon Musical
club concerts, but also to the gen
eral public. 49,
Mr.. Damrosch, the conductor of the
Orchestra, dep1ores the fact that ma
tive talent is often looked askance up
on by the critics and public in gen.
eral. "Such efforts as many of our
talented young Americans make re-
ceives scant encouragement from the
public, which, having as yet no ar
tistic expression Of it's own is con-
tent to initiate what Europe has been
saying for centuries" said Mr.. Dam
rosch recently Here one would seem
to find an explanation for that curious
prejudice with which the average
American views the creative and re-
productive efforts of his fellow coun-
trymen. He knows himself to be in
capable of artistic expression, which
of those nationalities which have dem
resch is doing all in his power by per-
sonal influence, and by engaging
American artists, SO far as he can.

them the opportunity which they have
long needed.

MARITAL TIES UNBOUND
IN SIX UNHAPPY HOMES

Marital ties in six once happy homes
were rent asunder by Judge Milton A
Shumway in the Superior court Six
unhappy mates told their tales of woe
to the court, and today are free to do
and choose of their own free will.
Margaret M. Donaldson Callan Of
this city was freed from Alexander
Callan a printer in the employ of the
Ansonia Sentinel, on the grounds Of
desertion. They We're married in May
vember 1896. Mrs CalIan told the
court he left her for another. woman,
Mrs. Callan is now employed with the
U. NJ. G. Co.
Frank r. Bronson of 1873 Fifth ST.,
told Judge Shumway yesterday that
Stewart Bronson, though they were
married in March 1901. His
wife he said never wanted
to be lied down to the
daily drudgeries Of a home. She was
young and preferred freedom and plea
sure. In July 1907 he had talk for
the last time with his wife, when
she positively refused to live with
him. The court allowed a decree on
the grounds of desertion.
Lillian Wooster Murphy Of 466 State
street is again a single woman. Yes
band, Edward w. Murphy, a local
bartender Mrs. Murphy then, now
Miss Wooster, told the court that
she was married Feb. 6, 1896, that she
lived with her husband for two years.
He drank so hard that he could not
support her. Murphy told his wife
that he could support her and left
with the information that when he
secured a position he would return.
That was Is years ago. but he has
not shown up yet. Evidently, work
is scarce for Murphy.
Josie 10th Ivan of 1874 Linen avenue
is free to marry again. Judge Shum-
way allowed her a separation from
the grounds of intolerable cruelty.
They were married Nov. %, 1909. Ivan
had the instincts of an. animal, for
on a number of occasions he bit and
scratched his wife. The greater part
of the evidence in this case is un-
printable.
George F. Holloway of Norwalk was
separated from his wife Katherine
brahms Holloway on the grounds of
desertion. The couple married in Oct.
1903 and resided in New York city. In
April 1905 Mrs. Holloway ran off with
another man and is now said to be
living with him.
Too close attention to other men
broke up the home of Peter E. Blom-
gren and Hattie Holden Blomgren Of
Stamford. The couple We're married
Oct s. 1903. The wife deserted her
husband July 5, 1906. Since the deser-
ton BlomgrenS said he had often seeB
his wife, but that she was in the COM
pany of another man He knew her
now to be keeping house for another.

Daniels at Carnegie
Pool Breaks Worlds
Record at Swimming

New Haven, Feb. 1S-Charles M.
Daniels, of the N. Y. A. c., amateur
short distance champion swimmer of
the world established a new record
for $50 yards at the Carnegie pool last
night covering the distance in 1 min.
80 2-5 secs. His record was made in
an exhibition swim for the distance
with +. H. Reilly of the same club,
and was a special part of the annual
Yale-Columbia swimming meet, which
long before the exhibition had become
a rather routine affair with everything
all in favor of the blue.
Yale won the meet by the score Of
46-7 and carried off the water polo
game by the, score of $50. The Eli
contenders carried off all f1rsts and
all but one second. It was a blue
NJ ght throughout.
Daniels record was the redeeming
feature of interest. He and Reilly
AS far as Reilly was concerned it
was an exhibition for he was left far
behind, finishing some Is yards in the
rear, of the champion. The latter
however, was determined apparently
to bring honor to the new pool.
He opened his swim with terrific
stroke and covered the first fifty
yards in % AS seconds. One hundred
yards was done in 81 As seconds, and
the whole distance was covered in 1
minute 80 3-5 seconds, which chips,
IS seconds off the former record,
which Daniels himself made in Liver
pool. AS to swimming the $50 yards.
there apparently are two ways in
which it is accomplished, i. e.,
straightaway and in a tank where
turns are necessary. Daniels now
holds the record for both methods,
having swan the former in ] min. 50
2-5 seconds at Manchester, Eng, in
July 1905 The discrepancy in figures
gave rise to quite some talk at the
pool last night.

YANKEE RECRUITS
MAY GUST REGULARS
SAYS LEADER CHASE
Arrives In Big City-Russ Ford
no Longer a Hold Out

New York, Feb. 1s-Manager Hal
Chase, of the Yankees, returned yes
terday from his vacation on the Paci-
f1c coast. Managerial cares sit lightly
on his shoulders. He has been busy
as a bee ever since he left New York,
but work evidently agrees with him
as he is ten pounds heavier than at
any other time since his connection
with the club. In California Chase
did a little private scouting. He pick
ed up three promising recruits. In
Chicago during the American League
meetings, he lined up Russell Ford,
the last Of the Yankee holdouts.
IT am not claiming any penpant, I"
said Chase, 'but the team that beats
us will know it has been to the wars.
I think I have the best catching staff
in the league in Blair and Sweeney. I
have as good pitching staff as you
can find anywhere, not excepting that
of Connie Mack. i think our pitchers
have the edge over those of any one
else for all are young fellows Jim
Vaughn I expect to be the sensational
southpaw Of the year. Ford needs no
boost. Quinn should be better than
ever and WARRIOR is always good.
Fisher and Caldwell have shown
enough to lead me to believe them
stars Of the first order. The outf1eld
to my mind looks pretty good. The
same goes for the infield.
my mind is made up now as to
just about who will hold down regular
positions. But T am no stand patter'
by any means. I have to be shown
and to show myself. The recruits will
be encouraged and given every oppor-
.tunity to make good. If any one
proves better in my Judgment than a
player now assigned a regular job he'll
get the position. If find I have a
better first baseman than Hal Chase
why I'll give him battle for his job
all right, for I'm feeling fit. Jack
Knight will be tried at second. He
plays the position well and likes the
assignment. It is his if he handles
himself as we'll there as at short.
s'Otis Johnson looks good to me for
knights side partner. Elliott is high
ly touted as a third sacker. But we
have a bunch Of other inf1elders in
Gardner, Roach, Hartzell and Litchi.
The first three are tried, men and will
be hard to keep out Of job if they
fight as they should I have framed
in my minds eye a team that should
put up a great fight But before the
sea son opens that team of mine may
be shot full of holes by the men up
on whom I am not at present banking
so seriously. Until the opening game
my lineup will be more Or less prob
lematic."

Columbia Five Whips
Yale in Rough Game

New York Feb. 18-Columbia's baS-
ketball team defeated the Yale gum
tette in the Morningside Heights gym
nasium last night by the score of 25
to 10. The victory was simply one long
series of Yale fouls punctuated by
flashes of brilliant Columbia team
work. 1t was a case of the poorer
team trying to stop the faster one.
and the Illegal work prevailed
throughout.
In the second period Goodwin, of
Yale, struck Murray Lee in the face
and knocked out three of the Column
bia players teeth, though the ball at
the time was in the hands of other
The officials, however, were watching
the ball and did not see the foul work
Although Lee protested and Goodwin
had to have his hand bound up by the
Yale trainer, no foul was called and
the offending player was not disqual-
flied, as called for in the rules. Twen-
ty-three fouls in all were called on
Yale, thirteen of which Kendall con-
verted into Columbia points.
Princeton, N. J., Feb. 1S-Inability
to pass accurately and to shoot goals
when opportunities offered :, caused
Princeton to go down to defeat in
basketball here last night before Cor
nell by a score of 90 to 81 Cornell
started off poorly, but later showed
better team work than the Tigers.
The first half ended: Cornell II points,
and Princeton IA. The score was tied
in the last half until Parnes of Cor
nell threw a field goal in the last min
ute of play. The contest was rough
and MANY fouls were called.

Buffalo, Feb. 18.--By long odds the
best bout fought in Buffalo ring in
the past 10 years was the tearing
scrap which Tony Ross of Pittsburg,
and Jack (Twin) Sullivan put up, last
night Although there was no knock
down and but little bloodshed, Ross
proved a bear cat for the rough go
ing and Sullivan has seldom expert
enced 10 rOugher rounds.
Milwaukee, Feb. 1S.-Jack Red
mond, once AID Wolgast's conqueror,
is more popular than ever in Mil
waukee, today, following, his victory
over Rudy Unholz, 1.-The Fighting
Boer," here, last night. UnhoIz took
the count in the sixth round of what
was to have been ten round go.
New York, Feb. 1S.-Pal Moore
went around Bert Keyes at the Ma
tional club last night much as a first
class cooper, strictly on the job, is
supposed to go around a barrel. The
little Philadelphia suddenly recover
ed his speed while Keyes appeared to
have lost everything he ever had. The
spectacle of Moore jabbing and coun-
tering whenever and wherever he
chose without return became wear
isome long before the ten round linn
it. This was especially true, as
Moore's broadside blows had no more
effect than sending Bert's head back,
and it was a 20 to 1 bet that Moore
would not end the fray with a finish
ing punch. These odds may seem lib
eral. but they were really offered and
refused.
Reyes was strictly the party of the
second part. He was there to take
and he took it with a grin that wore
off before the end. At intervals Bert
swung his right viciously, but Moore
always managed to evade it. The only
wallop that Reyes got home was
long left to the body in the second
round. From that moment on he saw
gloves coming at him from every
angle. They landed on eyes, nose.
mouth and jaw with regularity and
precision. Wherever he turned his
head he found a punch coming, until
he smiled YEARLY at the sorry exh1bl-
ton he was making.
There was little fight left in him
for the last session, but Moore was
spry as ever and Keyes plodded along
in the role of punching bag until the
gong brought relief He was cut up
trife about the mouth. That was the
sum total Of damage.

WILL DISCUSS THEORY
OF MANS EVOLUTION

= did man fall from purity or rise
from savagery? ?" will be the subject
of Dr. SWANS second address on
evolution at the South Church Vesper
Institute on Sunday afternoon at five
o'clock. Of the following questions,
the first three will be answered brief
ly and directly, The main body of
the address will be based upon the
last two.
Questions: If it took ages to develop
the human body, why is life so short
What reason is there for believing
that men have souls and that animals
have none? In mans ascent from the
animal at what stage did the soul ap-
pear? Does evolution disprove the
"fall?" Can we trust evolution to
bring society to its highest goal?
Some very crucial facts in present
day thought will be considered. In
evolution we find both. comfort and
sorrow. An intelligent understanding
of this theory is therefore necessary
in order to see wherein the hope and
danger lie.
The choir will furnish the music as
sisted by the Park Street quartette.

furnishing bed and body linen for the
sick, and aiding the Sisters of Char
ity in carrying on their works of mer-
cy in connection with the hospital.
Last year, from the Cosmovilla held
in the State Armory, the Ladies of
Charity realized $1,000, which was us
ed to pay off balance of $4,000 due
on a free bed, and the furtherance of
the Sisters charities.
The Ladies' of Charity have the on
ly free bed that thus far has been en-
dowed in St Vincents hospital. Ow
ing to the numerous calls upon this
institution, however, there are often
several patients in the hospital, can
didates for the free bed, who are UNI
able to occupy it, and who receive
the same care as if the free bed was
ready to receive them. The Ladies
of Charity take part too in maintain
ing the expenses of patients whose
funds are exhausted while they are in
the hospital, and who for obvious rea-
sons shrink from the humiliation of
applying to the city for assistance.
Thus the city benefits as well as the
hospital from the work of the organ
ization. Free baskets of food are
distributed to many families from the
hospital every week.
Donations of prizes and cash for
the Carmintival will be thankfully
received by the Ladies of Charity.
They may be sent either to the hospi-
tai or to one of the ladies In charge
of the undertaking. The officers and
directors of the society form a gener-

Cremation for Bodies
Of Famine Victims Is
Now Ordered in China
Especial from United Press1

Especial from United Press.)
Marking, China Feb. 1S.-Crema-
ton of the unburied bodies of the
famine victims in the villages of An
hui and Kiang Su provinces was or
dered- today, by the provincial au-
thorities on recommendation of the
American European relief commit
tees There is scarcely house in the
whole famine region without its dead;
relief workers reported, while the
corpses of thousands line the road
ways or are found in open fields.
The frozen ground makes burial i'm
possible
The ignorant peasants try to con-
ceal the fact that there are any dead
in their homes. The result is that
hundreds of families continue to dwell
with the dead bodies in the same
compartment. producing conditions
most revolving.
The order for cremation is certain
to meet with frenzied opposition by
the peasants. Soldiers WERE today
ordered to attend the death carts and
use force, il necessary, to remove all
dead from their homes. 1t is now
estimated that 100000 are dead from
starvation, fever and exposure and
