sensus is that Samuel L. Page of Piute
will be given the registership. while the
receivership will probably go to ID. s.

merly lived in Rich county, II is
among the possibilities that Mr.. Cook
may be made assistant district attor-

ceiver will be given to some other. Pro-
fessor Vernon of the Agricultural col

OF these Mr.. Nebeker had much the

ers.
OF William W. Rays selection for
by Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Thurman, no
doubt remains in the minds Of Demo
Gratis who are familiar with the senti-
ments of Democrats and who are in
touch with the deliberative conferences
which have been held. Democrats gen
orally, it is said, would be willing to
support Frank B, Stephens, the other
competitor, for any other place. At the
same time he is regarded as a forn1id-
able man because of his close friendship
Of many years with William Jennings
Bryan, now secretary Of state. How
ever, il is not believed that Mr.. Bryan
would make Mr.. Stephens appoint
ment a personal matter with the presi-
dent, since he has in his own depart
ment positions of great responsibility
which carry with them greater luster
and more honorarium. Some such place,
it is suggested. would be more fitting
for Mr., Stephens.

FRANK NORRIS JONES
in PIANO CONCERT
For Second Time This Season Young
Player Delights Audience at
Columbia Theafer.

Mr. Frank Norris Jones appeared in his
second annual piano recital at the CO.
lumbia Theater yesterday afternoon. His
programme comprised Mendelssohns pre-
lude and fugue in Z minor; the sonata in
one movement in b minor. by Liszt: a
Chopin group, prelude in G minor. noe
turne In G major, tude in minor. bal
Iade in G minor, the aria from Schu-
mann's F sharp minor sonata, the Il
minor rhapsodie of Brahms, an etude Of
Leschetizky, and Tausig's arrangement
Of Schubert's ''Marche Militaire."
Mr. Jones played the Mendelssohn pre-
Jude and fugue with simple sincerity, but
somewhat too heavily throughout. and
his tempo grew markedly hurried as the
fugue progressed. In the List sonata. a
work full of dazzling rhetorical splendor.
Astounding in ornamental difficulties. yet
rising now and then to exalted moods of
melody and harmony, Mr.. Jones proved
himself not merely skillful at piano aero
battles, but player of understanding.
He plays Chopin as a great lover, not
yet as a great master; but with the fine
sincerity and appreciation of the poetic
moods and delicate elusive beauties that
promises future mastering. Manifestly
all his strength was called out in the play
ing Of the etude. Op 10. without attain
ing the perfection OF nervous. hurried
agitation, which pervades the composition.
He was best in the "Balla6e.' OPP. %. In
which the moods undergo kaleidoscope
changes.
His cantabile playing, as in "Meine
Freuda' Chopin Liszt, his first encore.
was characterized by too neat emphasis
of the melody design-is not meditative
|enough-but this fault, fault peculiar to
intellectual playing and the fear Of falling
into the greater evil of too much sentl-
ment was fully compensated by beautiful
tone production and the perfection of
shading
For a Second encore Mr.. Jones played
the Chopin concert waltz, OPP. A., giving il
new meaning in rhythmic vitality. Mr..
Jones made an exquisite melody Of the
Schumann aria; he did some fine work
in the Brahms rhapsody, and the arab
esque of Leschetizky was most delight
fully given. OF the Tausig March Mill
tairc." as it is one of those pieces that
require nothing above a rather empty
skill and physical strength. there is little
to be said.
