TELLS MERITS OF
RAGTIMB MUSIC
Herbert Godfrey, Conductor Of
Chrystal Palace, Gives Long
Dissertation on Subject.

Special Cablc to The Washington Herald
London, Nov. 9.-Herbert Godfrey, who
Is widely known as conductor at the
Crystal Palace, sends to the Express the
following interesting letter on ragtime
music:
"sir: With all difference to Mr.. Gene
Green and others who have demonstrated
the mysteries Of ragtime music. they
have not by any means made 1t clear
what is the peculiar essence Of this treat
ment of melody.
THE expression 'ragtime' is generally
described as 'syncopated time and this
II no doubt true; but though all ragtime
is syncopated Il. e., the short note pre-
ceding the long one in such a way as
to throw the melody of the beat), not
all syncopated music IL in ragtime.
''The essence Of raktime consists in
anticipating the chief notes Of a melody
to the extent Of one-eighth (usualiy-in
slow 'rags'-a fourth Of the value Of a
bar.
IF this chief note occurs on the Sec
ond beat Of the bar (or would be expect
ed there normally this anticipation re-
suits In tie in the middle of the bar.
II on the first beat Of the bar. then the
tie Joins the last note Of the bar to the
first note Of the next bar.
TN either case It deprives the tune
Of . fresh note on the accented or beat
portion Of the bar. and makes It. till
one gets bit used to rastime, most DIM
cult to read.
1T Is not enough merely to syncopate
the tune. Ragtime will tolerate no waits
on full beat mites. Its essence IL rest
lessness. 1t II easy to recognise how
necessary ragtime music is to the ex-
traordinary dev slopment Of American
sand dancing in late years. which II
really what has brought 1t into exist

the presidency and vice presidency

alive ticket and of all the other can
didates put forward by the Conserv,

Absolute order prevailed mall parts
of the island in the balloting.
The official returns were greatly de.
layed, due to the extreme slowness of
election officials in counting the votes.
AS an instance in Havana four hours
after the polls had close the official
figures in only half a dozen election
districts were available. A majority
of these districts favored Menocal.
General Menocal carried the prov.
inces of Oriento, Camaguey and Ma.
tanzas and Santa Clara. Senior Zayas
won out in Pinar del Rio. The Liber
ais won the city of Havana, but the
remainder of the province of Havana
and the other five provinces were
carried by the Conservatives. This
made clean sweep of the election for
the Conservatives.

the Conservatives carried that city,

New Rules Embody Points Urged by

in Many Years.
IS Ma IMPORTANT DECISION

Washington.--ln promulgating the
first revision of the equity rules Of
Federal courts in the last fifty years
tbe Supreme court Of the United
states prohibited the granting of pre-
lminary iniunctions without notice
and restricted the granting of tempo
rary restraining orders. The court EN-
bodied in the new rule many of the
points of the Clayton anti-injunction
hill for which labor leaders have been
fighting, which has passed the house
and waits in the senate.
Instead of temporary restraining or
ders being issued without notice upor
presentation to a Federal judge or
general allegations that immediate
and irreparable damage is about to
be inflicted, and the new rule re-
ouires thta it must be shown by spe.
cific facts set forth in affidavits, OF
otherwise, that such damages will re.
suit. When a temporary restraining
order is issued hearing on the in
junction must be given within ten
DAYS. Heretofore no time limit was
fixed by the rules and often not by
the courts.
The court went still farther and pro.
yided that those restrained may come
into court within two days mad be
heard with expedition on motion to
dissolve the restraining order. The
new rules do not require those pro.
curing the restraining order to give a
bond or the judge to set forth in the
order his reasons for granting it..
These were provisions in the Clayton
bill
Chief Justice White did not refer to
the anti-injunction rule in announcing
the changes in the old rules, but did
emphasize the statement that the re-.
vision was designed to simplify pro.
cedure and remove delays and reduce
cost. The antique form of pleading
is abrogated in the new rules for the
modern forms of Code" states
judges are required, with few excep
tons, to do so, and appellate courts
authorized more generally to dispose
of suits instead of reversing on imma
teral errors.
