z|MBAL|ST GREETED
 BY LARGE CROWD
Young Russian Vi0linist Is Cordially Received in a
 Classic Programme

Efrem Zimbalist the young Russian violinist, was greeted by an exception ally large and representative audience at the Jefferson yesterday afternoon Judging from the crowd, the Sunday concerts are increasing in popularity in Birmingham. for no similar enter tainment has ever drawn quite so great an assemblage
 zimbalist appeared under the auspices of the concert committee which has arranged a series of high class attrac- tions for the season. He was accom- panied by Eugene Lutsky, Russian pianist This was the programme:
 Sonata. D minor (Brahms).
 Allegro.
 Adagio.
 In poco presto con sentimento.
 Presto asitato.
 Concerto, A minor (Vivald).
 Allegro.
 Largo.
 Presto.
 (a) Berceuse (Gretchaninon).
 (b) Mephisto Valse Uizst).
 Mir. Lutsky.
 ta) Cherry Ripe; (b) Irish Song Co Dance (Cyril Scott).
 ta) Orientale- (CuD.
 (b) Russian (zlmbalist).
 Co Scenes from "Czardas" (Hubay).
 The violinist made a fine impression and although he was greeted by gen erous applause and had many recalls his playing would no doubt, have been enjoyed even more than it was if the programme had contained one or two "old favorites' and had been less se- verely classic. The Brahms number was full of artistic beauty and 1t was strictly classic, as Brahms music al ways is. The second number-the con- certo by Vivaldi-was sing uaarly Inter- esting and it was strongly classic It was in the spirit and style of Bach. The groups of small pieces relieved the programme. Of course. and altogether the musicale was one of the most ele- gant ever given here.
 Hmbalist produces an absolutely pure tone and plays with poetic feeling and great finish. Hic technique Is fault- less and he is the musician through ana through With age will come more warmth and more color. Few virtuosos under 25 have risen to the artistic stature of zimballst and few of the older celebrities are more successful Ill classic interpretation than this young artist. Zimbalist is equally at nome, too, in dainty modern music. Par ticuiarly beautiful was his playing of Cuis "Orientale."
 Zmbalist had to repeat his own com position and for other encores he played a little dance by Grieg and Chopil's waltz in D flat, known as the minute waltz" because 1t requires only one minute in execution. Recalled at the end of the programme, Amhalist played Down on the Suwanee River"
 MT. Lutsky, the pianist, proved to be a solo artist as well as an able accompanist. It Is safe to say that the audience would have been glad if he had had two numbers on the pro- gramme instead of one In responseito an encore he played little compo- sition Of his own entitled "Consola- tion."
 The next musicale of the Sunday se- ries will be in February when Jan polski, the Russian baritone, will be the attraction; and the fourth and last will be in March when Tina Lerner, the young and captivating Russian pianist, will appear

Local Data
Weather Conditions

An area of general rainfall overspreads nearly all the central valley sections from the lakes to the gulf, amounts of precip- tation being light everywhere, but slight ly heavier in the region of the great lakes. The long trough of low pressure now crossing the central portions of the country has its center in the upper Mis- sissippi valley. This depression has caused the general rains referred to as well as the general rise in the tempera- ature east of the Mississippi river. The barometric gradient near the center of the low is steep and the winds were brisk to high at western lake stations Sunday night.

AMBASSADORS DO
 FAVOR GREY'S IDEA

Paris, December 1.-According to in- formation received in official circles in Paris tonight Sir Edward Grey's sugges- ton for a conference of the ambassadors to consider the Balkan settlement is meeting with opposition from members of the triple alliance, who desire that the conference shall take place in a neutral city, such as Berne, The Hague or Brus- sells, and not in the capital of one of the powers interested.
 If this objection is maintained, it is considered that 1t will be difficult to come to an agreement. for it is pointed out that "a meeting of the ambassadors" implies the choice of capital. where the ambassadors already accredited. could represent their governments: whereas the choice of neutral city would involve the sending of special envoys- This would really be a congress and there would then be no reason why delegates from the belligerent states as well as from Rumania should not be admitted there

HICKEY DENIES
 OTHER MURDERS Police Question Murderer Regarding Disappear
 ance of Children

Buffalo, December 1.-The police re- ceived today several dispatches relat- ing to the lath or disappearance of children in various cities and request ing that J. Frank Hickey. the confessed boy murderer under arrest here on a charge of killing 7-year-old Joseph Jo- seph of Lackawanna, be questioned re- garding them
 A dispatch from Superintendent Me Quaide of the department of safety Pittsburg, Pa. told of an assault on Lawrence Friel. a 14-year- old boy of Allegheny, Pa in December, 1909. The assault resembled, to a marked degree the manner in which Hickey has con- fessed that he put to death the Joseph and Kruok boys. Young Friel was given whisky, strangled and left to die in a vacant house.
 Edward P Adams. d 9-year-old boy of Kane. Pa, has been missing since December. 1910. and the local police have been asked to investigate. Hickey was asked about these eases today In his confession he told of only three homicides, the killing by poison of Edward Mercy of Lowell. Mass. ir l1SS3; the strangulation of Michael l Kruck. the New ' orlS newsboy, in 1902 and of the Joseph boy in 1911. He has repeatedly stated that these are the only victims he killed.
 Hickey attended the prison church services today. George Joseph, father of the murdered boy, called at the prison. but was not permitted to- see l Hickey.
 1 Tomorrow Hickey will be arraigned
 to plead to the indictment charging l him with killing the Joseph boy He will enter the formal plea of not guilty
 and will be remanded to jail to await
 1 trial for which, it is understood. a spe-
 cial criminal term of court has beer

News of EnSley

Tuesday night the regular meeting of the Ensley club will be held at the inferior court room. Tn addition to reports If committees now working on various questions in which the club is interested, the matter of allowing farmers to peddle home products without the payment of prohibitive license will be taken up The matter has been before the club pre- viously and was discussed with the city authorities, but no definite action was ever taken.
