Hermann c. Rakeman, violinist, appear

a program of compositions that, with one
or two exceptions, are rarely heard.
Though one likes to meet old friends,
even such old. old friends as Chopin's
"Berceuse" and the List RhapsOdies;'

region in musical literature that one
feels an especial gratitude to man Of
Mr.. Rakeman's abilities when he pre-
sents such works as Brahms Sonata.

Bruch. Perhaps Mr.. Rakeman is driving
the thin edge of the wedge into the habit

The Brahms sonata is so packed with
beautiful themes, episodes, and harmonic
progressions that it is in no danger OF

The composition is of such varied emo

NEWMAN ADDRESSES
CITIZENS MEETING

Oliver p. Newman, president Of the
Board of District Commissioners, told
members of the Park View Citizens
Association at their meeting in the Whit
ney Avenue Memorial Christian Church
last night that the Commissioners had
had satisfactory hearings before the sub
committee on appropriations Of the House
District Committee. and that, their ex-
perience a. these hearings showed all
members of the subcommitte to be sin
cereIy interested in this city's welfare
He further assured his hearers that he
had made especial efforts in their behalf
to obtain the school building for which
they have long been working.
Before Mr.. Newman arose to make
his address George II. Russell made a
report upon the system in effect in the
District for the guarantee of real es-
tate titles. He said the companies en-
gagged in this business here charged
extortionate fees. and recommended
the adoption of the ''Torrens" system,
under which the District would take
over the business Of the companies.
Commissioner Newman, in his ad-
dress. referred to this report, and said
that he also believed that the guar
antee of land titles was a government
function, and he asked that copy OF
the report be sent to him.
Mr.. Newman said the Commissioners
were satisfied that they had done their
best in the preparation of this years
budget, but that they would be able
to make an earlier start next year and
cover the situation still more thor
oughly.
