AFTER OPERATION
Federal Jurist Who Sentenced
Leo Frank was i'm Doubt
as to Guilt.

Judge Leonard S. Roam, of Atlanta,
who sentenced Leo Frank to death for
the murder of Mary Phagan, died yes
terday morning in the Polytechnic Hos
pital. He entered the hospital on Febru-
ary 20 and was operated on for, cancer
on March /.
Learning of his condition two months
ago, the Judge consulted specialists in
the South, and then came TO this city
to take the radium treatment. lie raj
lied after the operation, and his condl-
tion semed favorable until few days
ago, when it took a turn for the worse
Mrs. Roam attended him constantly,
and was with her husband when the
end came A son and a brother were
also present. Judge Roam was sixty
six years old.
The Frank case has created a great
diversity of opinion throughout the
country regarding the mans innocence
or guilt. When the agitation was at
its height. Judge Roam declared that he
was unable to arrive at a definite con-
cluson whether Frank was guilty or
not.

TWO VIOLINISTS
PLAY AT CONCERTS
English Woman Appears at The
Little Theatre - American
Artist at the Princess.

Two new candidates for recognition
in the department of violin playing
gave public concerts yesterday after
noon Miss Nicola Thomas at The Lit
tie Theatre and Roderick White at the
Princess.
Miss Thomas comes to US from Eng
land after having studied there and
with Leopold Auer.
Mr.. White is an American who has
also studied with Herr Auer. Both
played the prelude to Bach's sonata in
+ major No. g. and the Tartini-KreIS-
Ter variations Had it been possible
for a reviewer to be in the two pretty
playhouses at the same time he would
have had an excellent opportunity 70
make a comparative study Of the two
players But it would scarcely have
been worth while, since neither has a
message to convey as yet Of greater
urgency than twenty Other Of the vio-
linists who preceded them IN New
York's public rooms this season.
In three things they formed strong
contrasts: Miss Thomas played with n
reposefulness of demeanor which was a
genuine delight 10 contemplate; Mr..
White swayed like a tree in a wind
storm; Miss Thomas produced small
tone of little sensuoqs beauty from her
instrument; Mr.. White played upon a
superb violin. obviously capable of Civ
ing out a large and opulent tone; Miss
Thomas played with suavity and sug-
gestions Of elegance, but with little
warmth; Mr.. White with dash, energy,
even brilliancy at times, not always with
purity of intOnation and with very lit
tie appreciation of the style demanded
by the rich violin classics or the COM
positions Of Tartini, Bach and Corelli.
The concerts were alike in that the
audiences numbered from 100 to l5O
persons each. George Falkenstein
played Miss Thomas's accompaniments.
but Herber. Fryer joined her in her
first number. which was Dohnanyi's
sonata for pianoforte and violin. Mr..
Whites accompanist was Ludwig
Schwab. IL. T. h.

GREGORIAN CLUB
GIVES CONCERT
Chief Feature of p. A. YOn'S
Organ Recital-Mr. Hutche-
sons Second Appearance.

Ernest Hutcheson, whose piano re-
citals are now well known in New York,
gave his second this season yesterday
afternoon in Aeolan Hall. Mr.. Hutche-
son is a musician we'll grounded in his
art. sincere, and equipped with an ad-
mirable technique. His tone is not
especially warm, nor is his playing
filled with temperament, but what
ever he does he does in a workman
like manner. lie played yesterday
Schumann's "Papillons" and "Etude
Svmphoniques," the Brahms Ballade in
ID minor, the Intermezzo in f fiat, the
Capriccio in B minor. and the Narla-
tions and Fugue on Theme OF Handel.
The audience was of moderate size, but
showed much interest
Aeolian Hall, in the evening, held
a concert Of some novel interest when
Pictro A. Yon, the orCanist of St.
Francis Xavier, gave a recital, ASSISTED
by the New York Gregorian Club. Of
which he is the leader. Mr.. Ion's
ability as an orgaEist is well known,
and it is enough 20 say that his solo
numbers were most admiralty given.
Ii was the appearance of the GreGorian
Club which give chief interest TO the
occasion. This club is a small choir Of
tcnors and bassos, most Of whom are
soloists in the various Catholic
churches Of the city, where the Gre
gorian chant is used. The music which
they sang was exceedingly difficult, but,
on the whole, it was exceedingly we'll
sung. a distinct tribute TO Mr. 1on's
careful training. The volume Of tone
was good. their attack precise, and
their singing incisive and well con-
trolled. II is true that once or twice,
notably in the "Christus fsctus est"
there were slips from the tune pitch,
but, on the whole, their intonation was
remarkably good. Especial words Of
praise should be given TO the singing
of the "Puer natus est" and the "flaes
dies" Gradual and Alleluia for Eas-
ter Sunday
The Gregorian Club is distinct and
welcome contribution to New York's
musical life, and gives music lovers
an opportunity Of hearing the old
church music amid lay surroundings.

Of the Mills-Hoff bill, TO relieve con-
gestion in the city's prisons by use
of the indetcrminate sentence, at CLUB
women's night" at the Park Theatre
last night.
Miss Davis. who appeared between
the acts of "Polygamy," said that the
measure was "the best bill ever intro
duced" For second and third termers

sentence of two years or more.
The Commissioner condemned the
method which releases man from the
penitentiary and dumps him in the city
streets without a penny. She urged
the transformation of the peniten-
tiaries INTO industrial institutions, so
that the prisoners might have some
money when freed.

GORGAS IN MOSQUITO WAR
Baltimore Enlists Guidance Of
U. S. Army Expert.

Baltimore, March 23.-Surgeon Cen
eral Gorgas came from Washington to-
day and planned with Mayor Preston
and other city officials and the Wom-
ems Civic League for campaign
against the gigantic army Of mosquitoes
which yearly invades Baltimore and oc-
cupies it from June to November. He
visited the great lowlands and swsmps
south of the city, and declared they
must be drained.
The general urged the Mayor and the
Women's Civic League to enlist the aid
of the housewives in keeping gardens
and backyards free of mosquito breed
ing spots. He said, instead of pouring
oil on Stagnant ponds and swamps the
land should be reclaimed as the only
sure preventative. The general will
prepare a plan Of campaign and direct
the fight from Washington, paying an
occasional visit to the fields Of battle.
