AMERICAN MUSIC BY
BOSTON SYMPHONY
DR.. Muck Gives TWO=Thirds Of
His Programme Over to
Local Composers.

1t is evident that the American COM
poser is not going to be abandoned. Two
thirds Of the programme of last nights
Boston Symphony concert i'm Carnegie
Hall was devoted to the works of Ameri-
can musicians, and the huge audience
heard the band under Dr. Muck's direc-
ton give these works a performance that
it would be difficult to equal.
The two compositions were Chadwicks
Third Symphony and Rubin Goldmarks
tone poem, Samson" the second of
lich was composed last year and was
receiving its first presentation in New
York.
Mr.. ChadwiclIs symphony has been
heard before. It was written thirty years
ago, at a time when. the composer him
self has said 1T was not yet criminal to
write a tune or insanity to resolve a dis
cord" 1t is a modest. sincere. straight
forward piece Of music. which contains
not few genuine musical ideas, which
are worked out plaasingly and never with
a deviation from the path Of beauty. II
il Is not a masterwork, it is at least
finely conceived and finely executed COM
position and one which should hold its
place i'm the symphonic world, not because
il is written by an American, but because
il is worthy Of that place.
Mr.. Goldmarks Samson" proved also
worthy of a position on a Boston Sym@
phony programme. and placed the COM
poser a step ahead of anything he had
accomplished before. 1t was programme
music only in the broader sense, for IL
stood upon its own musical legs without
any need of Biblical prop. It's one
great weakness was its length, its ideas
beinc strung out when they had better
have been condensed, with consequent
weakening of the force and unity Of the
structure. Yet despite this, the IDEAS
the melodic invention. the originality OF
treatment. were there. and the composer
sboUed himself a remarkable master OF
color and of orchestral effect WITH some
condensation Samson ought to prove
one If the most remarkable pieces o. seri-
ous music yet composed by an Ameri-
can Mr.. Goldmark is to be consratu-
,a+od Needless to say, DR.. MUCK gave
If the tone poem worthy reading.

and richness of tone.

CLEARS SENATORS
. Of GOLD MINE DEAL

WASHINGTON, July 3.-W G.
Newman, promoter of a North Caro-
lima gold mine, told a Senate investi-
eating committee a fearful story to-
day about the use of official letter
paper Of the census and rules COM
mittee for circulation of a letter from
a mining engineer, praising the prop
erty. He testified he asked Senator
Overman's stenographer to make
copies of the letter, and that a clerk
in the census committee made others.
Senators Overman and Chiffon chair
men of those committees, knew
nothing of it, he said
While Newman was telling the
story of his struggles to promote the
property he wept and once sobs
stopped him. Newman said that about
thirty-6ve or forty copies of the let
ter on Senate paper were sent TO his
personal friends among the Gold Hill
stockholders. None was used to
boost" the stock, he protested.
In a voice choked with emotion,
Newman told the committee of the
early struggles of himself and his
brother, J. j. Newman, to develop the
mine.
MY brother saw things going to
pieces" he said, "and he took FIVE
sticks Of dynamite and blew himself
into ten thousand pieces. He left a
letter saying his life's work was
gone. He said North Carolina was
the richest State in the Union. When
] heard that, | took oath I'd never
let go that property till | proved his
statement or went the way he went. I"
