BOSTON SYMPHONY HERE
Orchestra Gives Brilliant Con
cert at Carnegie Hall.

Major Higginson's band from Boston
came 10 us again last night for their last
Thursday night concert OF the season. and
Carnegie Hall was filed with the usual
Boston Symphony audience. an audience
that both for intelligence and size knows
no peers in New York's musical life. The
solo performer Of the evening was Anton
Wick. the concert master OF the orches-
ira. who played Brahmss concerto in ID
major for violin and orchestra.
Mr.. Wick has appeared before In this
city. but he never has revealed himself as
the splendid artist he proved himself last
night The cadenzas In the concerto are
difficult In the extreme yet he threw
them off with a dexterity and precision
that appeared the negation OF effort. while
his tone was uniformly warm and clear.
Let us hope that we shall hear Mr.. Wick
often in the future and always In the vein
he showed last night.
In the main orchestral number. DR.

long. but there are in IL passages of great
beauty and brilliancy. The three trum-
pets which, behind the scene. give out the
musical expression OF Vergilian refrain

composition IL founded, make an innoVa-
ton OF which the effectiveness Is remark
able.

100000 LIBEL SUIT
AGAINST COL. GARDINER
Champ S. Andrews, Former
Counsel of County Medical
Society, Begins Action.

Champ s Andrews. formerly counsel
for the County Medical Society. filed a
suit in the Supreme Court yesterday
against Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner. FOR
mer District Attorney for $1,000 for
libel The suit is based on a letter which
Colonel Gardiner wrote 10 Governor DIX
In 1911. which brought about the uncon-
ditional pardon Of Or. Edward IL Conrad
who had been convicted of malpractice.
Colonel Gardiner was counsel for pr
Conrad. His letter was not made public
until Governor Suzer had succeeded Gov
ernor Dix and the correspondence rela-
tive 10 the pardoninG of convicts was
published II then developed that tho
former District Attorney had asked that
Or. Conrad be restored 10 his civil rights
on the ground that his client had been a
victim Of a conspiracy in which figured
Andrews. former District Attorney jerome
and Edward Reardon who was county
detective under him.
Andrews sues because Of the statement
by Gardiner that he engaged a woman 10
apply to Dr. Conrad for treatment and
that the plaintiff and others burst into
the office OF the physician with drawn
revolvers. causing the arrest OF Conrad
and a nurse. Colonel Gardiner said that
District Attorney jerome had admitted
that he had entered into d conspiracy
with Andrews to entrap Or. Conrad ana
that the lawyer was "inpeled by dis
honest motives" and did not act In good
faith with the County Medical Society.
but used every unfair means to accom-
plish his ends
Gardiner said that Andrews was ar
rested for extortion in 1853 in a case ia
which Reardon was also involved and that
the medical society compelled him To-
resign. Andrews said In his complaint
that the defendant had pictured him as
an "unprlnciplcd Matchmaking, depraved
scoundrel" and represented that the
plaintin had To give up his law Once tn
New York and 80 South to manage an
industrial plant owned by his brother.
Andrews said that the statements made
by Colonel Gardner ia his letter To Gov
ernor DIX were without foundation
