FLONZALEYS GIVE ENJOYABLE CONCERT
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Warmth and Purity of Tone Quality Heightens Effect of Authoritative Interpre-
 tatiOn of the Numbers

The Flonzaley quartet, known in musical circles as the greatest string quartet in the world. gave delightful concert at the Jefferson theatre last night under the auspices of the Music study club. The audience was discriminating and demonstratve, but 1t was not as large as might have been expected in view of the Tact that the quartet drew a large and Enthusiastic crowd last season at a Sun 5 day matinee.
 A feature of last nights entertainment vas a Chamber of Commerce box party complimentary to President Fairfax liar rison of the Southern railway, who had been the chambers gues. at a 6:3O o'clock dinner at the Southern club. Concerts in Birmingham usually begin at S:3O o'clock, but in order to give the south crn's new president and lis Birmingham escort an opportunity of hearing the opening number on the programme the curtain did not rise until quarter to nine Just as soon as MT. Harrison and the Chamber of Commerce contingent were seated in the boxes the Flonzaleys proceeded with the musicale. The pro- gramme was classical, but not too elas- sical for real music lovers. It was az follows:
 Dvorall-Quartet in major, op. 6l, Allegro. Poco adagio motto canteaDile Scherzo. Nivace.>
 Bach-Suite in c major. for cello alone, Allegro. Bourree, Sarabande Giga (Mr. d d'Archambeau.
 Beethovo,-Quartet in 2 minor, op 59, No. ?, Allegro. Motto adagio, Allegretto, Finale.
 Persons not musically educated some times speak of chamber music as being Cly or over their heads but it would be difficult to believe that any man or wom- an who had the least fondness for melody could fail to be charmed by this famous quartet. Warmth and purity marked the tone duality of these musicians and sym rathy, grace of feeling and elegant phras- ing heightened the effect Of their authori- tative interpretation. Nothing could eX- ceed the poetic beauty of their delicate pa ssages and nothing could have been more inspiring than the vigor and dash with which they played brilliant and splr- ited movements
 The Dvorak work, heard for the first time here held the audience rapt The second number for cello alone, while strictly classic as all Bach's music is. was most refreshing because of it's "old timey" flavor and style. Especially cap tivating was the second movement-the Bourree.
 Beethoven's great quartet which con cluded the programme was, perhaps, taken all in all the most popular number. The adagio was pathetic and melting, and the finale in march form made happy hit. The audience applauded most heartily. and it was hoped that the quartet would play an extra number, but after d few bows tue artists made their kits and the curtain dropped.
 Birmingham has had many fine attrac- tions this season. but not one thus far has given such unbounded pleasure to music lovers it is thought, as the F'lon- zalevs W. R.

Carothers, special agent of the state department. left here tonight to visit Carranza. His mission IS said to be a discussion of the general situ- alton with regard to foreigners rather than to hold specific conference over the Benton problem.
 Marion Letcher, American consul at Chihuahua. arrived here today with the expectation of taking the commission
 back to Chihuahua with him. and was surprised to learn that the inyestig gators intended to start yesterday, but were halted by rebel orders said to have come from Carranza.

William Hazltt, the famous essayist, married a woman who cared nothing for his abilities and who kept him in hot
 water all of the time by her violent tenn per. The essayist fell in love at short i intervals and with want of success which left some permanent bangs. When he finally succeeded in winning Miss Sarah Stoddart. he felt that his future
 happiness was assured. They went to live in one of his wife's houses and all was serene for a time.
 Eventually Hazitt's domestic life be- came intoerable. His wife was a woman of considerable reading and vigorous un- derstanding. She was, however, an utter l ly incompetent housewife, despised the ordinary proprietes, and had a love for
 incongruous finery. She had no senti- ment, was slow to sympathize and her estimate of Hazlitt's writings was con- siderably lower than his own. She was not jealous nor does it appear that Haz- lit gave her cause for jealousy, beyond passing fits of admiration for other women.
 It was not surprising that Mrs. Hazlitt should fail to agree with a man sin gularly fastidious, exacting in all his re- lations, and constantly taking umbrage at trifles. Their one bond seems to have been their common affection for their only child
 | From the autumn of 1873 Hazitt lived chiefly apart from his wife. During much of this period he stayed at the lodgings of a MT Walker. who had two charming daughters. For Sarah Walker, Hazlitt conceived strong passion. She confessed to previous attachment but, if his ac- count can be accurate. coquetted very freely with him. In 1920 or 1921 he proposed divorce from his wife, intending when free to marry Sarah.
 Neither Hazltt nor Mrs. Hazltt abso- lutely hated each other. but they seemed both equally anxious to part company. Hazlitts habits as d husband had become pad, ana but for an amazing bluntness of feeling on his wife's part, would have been uncomfortable. During the time they We're in Scotland on the mission of secur- ing divorce, the pair occasionally met, had cup of tea together, and abused

 The Benton incident held all the at tention of the constitutionalst comman- der-in-chief during the day. For the first time he summoned the entire membership of his provisional cabinet to consider the matter.
 It was understood that Carranza's pre- yious stand in the Benton affair had been taken without discussion before tne entire cabinet, although scme of his in- dividual advisers had been consulted.
 It was said that there was a diversity of opinion in regard to the halting of the Benton investigation commission at Fl Paso General Carranza issued no state ment throwing any new light in the matter.
 Translation of the Associated Press dis patches from Washington dealing with the attitude of the Wilson administra- tion were read with much interest.
