Nezak.

Leo Slezak, the famous tenor, ap-
at the Columbia Theater yesterday
afternoon in a recital Of songs. some
of the most BEAUTIFUL of the German
composers; q French song, "Plaisir
d'Amour," by Padre Martini, and a
group of English songs, including Mary
Turner Salter's Come to the Garden,
Love-" and Walter Morse Rummel's
Ecstasy"
The large audience at the close of
each selection broke forth into the
most enthusiastic applause, and at the
end of the program was reluctant to
leave
Slezak has a dramatic tenor of won
derful sweetness and power, capable
of the fullest, clearest tones in dra-
matte passages. and sinking to a
pianissimo as sweet and clear. as the
distant song of a bird in sentimental
climaxes. In The Loreiei" and Tom
der heimer" the qualities of his voice
were beautifully made manifest. while
Brahms In Summer Fields" served to
disclose the singers power of shading
that was exquisite. So impressively
We're the "serenade" of Richard
and Ecstasy" sung that they had to be
repeated. and the last named. which
closed the program, had to be sup
plemented with "fiildach."
The program also included Schu-
n,ann's ''Wanderlied" and .Lotusblumes.
schubcrt's Am Nicer" and "Ungeduld,,
Hugo VOLTS 'Verschwiegene Liebe, "
Rubinstein's Die Thrane," Strauss
"Standchen," Brabps' "Feldednsamkeit"
and "A Moonlighk. Song" by Charles
Wakefield Cadmank
Except for his high excellence as a
pianist the charm of the singer would
have absorbed all the attention from
the splendid accompanimental work of
Oscar Dachs and his artistic rendition
of THE Liebestod" of Wagner-LisZt
and the "Rigoletto Paraphrase" of Verdi
Liszt both of which were SO well
played that the pianist shared honors
with the singer.

E. r. Brooks. secretary Of the associa-
ton. deplored the unsightly condition OF
the streets and sidewalks. The District.
he said. is making a faint attempt to
clear the street crossings and the cutters
Of the principal streets, but the great ma
jority of sidewalks are practically I'M
touched. He urged that the association
ask the District Commissioners to secure
the enactment of a snow and Ice law that
would place in the citizens hands the re-
sponsibility OF keeping clear the pave
ment fronting upon his own property or
home
For Better Railway Service.

sided, declared that the time had ar
rived when the association should strike
its hardest blow for better railway ia
cilities in Southeast Washington, on ac-
count of the rulings of the interstate rail-

poned until the association can unite in
it's demands for another street railway

the mud taken from the twenty foot
channel will not be sufncient for building
up the excavations and other improve
ments along the shore. while the extra

HandsofLeW
Philadelphia Middleweight Puts
Away the Negro in the
Eighth Round.

LIVERPOOL, Eng, Jan. 19.-Harry
Lewis, the formidable Philadelphia
fighter, who claims the middleweight
championship of the world, scored a
decisive victory here last night, when
he knocked out the Dixie Kid in the
eighth round.
The Dixie Kid is an American negro
who has had many successes in Eu-
rope.
Lewis won through his generalship.
his lmpenetrable defense and his pow
erful punching ability. He had the ad-
vantage almost from the start.
The Philadelphia never gave his OPP
ponent any rest. and in the eighth
round so stormed the Dixie Kid with
blows that the negro fell to the floor
and was counted out.
A big crowd enjoyed the milling,
which was terrific as long as il lasted.
In the early rounds the Dixie Kid land
ed some hard wallops, but they did not
seem to have any effect on Lewis.
