RUSSIAN TRIO Is
 WARMLY RECEIVED The Bernsteins High Class Artists-Beautiful Pro-
 gramme Rendered

The Russian trio-Eugene Bernstein, pi- ano; Michel Bernstein, violin, and Arthur Bernstein, violoncello-delighted dscrim- mating audience at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon; 1t was much larger classic music Besides the goodly number occupying seats in the parquet something like 200 persons sat in the balcony, and 50 or more in the top gallery
 The audience was exceptionally demon- strative. Generally speaking, Birming- ham music lovers are not quickly stirred to pitch of enthusiasm. The first num- Der of a concert programme rarely ever provokes spontaneous applause; but it was different with the crowd that greeted the Bernsteins. The entire audience showed it's appreciation by applauding the artists at the close of each movement, and there was loud and prolonged applause as each work was finished. Following the sere- made the trio played, as ah extra number, Schutte, recently published, and which had it's premiere performance in New York a week ago Sunday. When the pro- gramme was concluded the audience re- mained seated and refused to leave until the trio played another extra which was a movement from the same new trio by Schutte.
 The Bernsteins are great artists. Their ensemble is perfect and in inter- pretation they are equally authoritative in strictly classic music and in modern compositions. They played the Bee thoven number from beginning to end with grace, elegance and pure quality of tone. The romantic serenade by Saint-Seans was full of sensuous beauty. and 1t was plain by the demonstration of the audience that a repetition was called for. but the performers decided to give instead d novelty-a selection from the Schutte trio
 The third and last number-the Arensky work-was distinctly Russian and refreshingly modern. Like the Saint-Saens number, 1t revealed the brilliant yirtuosity of the artists. And the au aiIcs N ye been charmed

PHILADELPHIA, August ia Jean
Vatican in real life was disclosed here
today, when William Burke, elected a
city councilman on the reform ticket,
headed by Mayor Blankenburg. last fall,
resigned his seat and told how. under the
name Of Benjamin II. Tripp. he served a
long term in the Massachusetts state
prison. after a career of crime in Boston
and New York.
Coming to this city in 1907. after COM
pleting his sentence in the Massa chusetts
prison. Burke earned an honest living as
wood carver. a trade he had learned
while in Jail Taking an active interest in
reform politics, ne was prevailed upon to
accept the nomination to councils
Shortly after his election he was recoc-
nized by fellow convict and blackmailed
until. driven to desperation he deter
mined to resign and tell his own story.
Prince of Flat Workers.
According to Burkes story appearing i'm
the Philadelphia Inquirer under his sigma
ture, for years before he became a con-
vict at Boston he had led the life of a
thief, pickpocket, yeggman and a
porch climber When he was arrested
previous to his conviction at Boston. he
was called the Prince of Flat Workers.
He says he started in life as street
waif on the East Side of New York SELL
ing newspapers He was changing around
the corners" Of the East Side when he
began the life of crook which he now
about in his fortieth year has confessed
to.
Gopher men, the species of crooks
who contine themselves to cracking and
robb ng safes, was the first of the under
world he fell in with. They used him, so
his story runs, to visit establishments
where they thought u safe might be
worth rifiinS
Also ''Moll Buzzer."
Then he. drifted in with "a gang Of
''MOOl buzzers," that class of thieves
who. he explains. are pickpockets, VINO
make a speciality of snatching women's
handbags.
After this Burke says he went west
with several "yeggmen' and in Chicago,
Kansas City and San Francisco in the
eighties he was the associate of desperate
thieves.
Upon returning to New York he be-
came q gambler and then a sneak thief
Later he went to Boston, where. after
robbins many houses. ne was caught and
convicted Judge Bond sentenced him
December III. 1896. To not less than seven
years.
Upon his release he settled in the north
eastern section of this city. where he
worked at his newly learned trade and
saved enough money to buy q little
cigar store He married and has one
child little girl.
Burke insists he has done nothing wrong
since the gates Of Charleston prison
swung open for him and he stepped into
the world free man.
