Anglophobia which had been concen-
trated 50 long upon the unqueston-
ably not always tactful Empress Fred

ders might have remembered that the
condemnation of England's course IN
South Africa was worldwide and MOI
confined to the German people alone.

ceiyed proper recognition. That Ger

due, in part at least, to the necessity
Of ayerting public attention from home

on the other hand, Mr.. Saunders is un
questionably right when he states that

RAILROADS MAY
DROP CITY OFFICES
Companies See Big Saving with
Little Inconvenience TO
Ticket Buyers.

Because Of the insistence Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
every unnecessary expense be elimi-
mated. the railroads are considering the
abolition of city ticket Offices, not only
H. New York. where there are more
than one hundred, but in all the larger
cities. The plan under consideration
for New York is the opening of three
union ticket Offices.
One would be in the vicinity OF 125th
ST., for the accommodation OF the upper
part of the island: another near Times
Square, for the benefit of the hotel
and theatrical population, and the third
in the vicinity of Fulton ST.. for the
downtown traffic. The trunk lines
maintaining Offices here have quarters
for which they pay enormous rentals.
some as high as $35 square foot

stats
What is true OF New York j. true Of
Chicago and all cities Of first impor-
lance, only in less degree. The saw
ing, therefore, would run into hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars, and, it
is believed, cost the railroads little or
nothing in the way of business.
The city ticket Office is a survival Of

fought for business and were not par
ticular how they got it. The expert
enced person who knew the ropes could
then get better rates for himself and
his party than the traveller rot so
we'll educated. The operation Of the
Hepburn act, however, put the ticket
scalpers out Of business.
In the proposed union Offices the
management would be under the direc-
ton of the passenger agents and the
expenses divided pro rata. With clerks
instructed TO give applicants what they
wished, the passenger departments
could be depended upon 20 see that no
favoritism was displayed
Advocates Of the scheme say that
the abolition Of the city Offices would
work no great hardship on ANYBODY,
with the possible exception o. the peg
sons employed in them. One stumbling
block is the matter o. real estate
leases. Some Of the Broadway Offices
have long term leases These, i is DC
lieved, could be disposed OF.

RUSSIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
 CONCERT CANCELLED.
Because Business Agent Sought to
 Evade Contract Fuifilment..

If will be a source Of much disap- pointment to the music lovers of Nor zvich aud nearby towns to learn that the concert which was to have been given on February 10th in Slater Mem orial hall by the Russian Symphony orchestra has been cancelled.
 The cancellation arises f1s- the fact that the business agents the or chestra sought to evade fulN ent of the contract which exists be- en the orchestra and the promoters lf the Slater hall musical course.
 The promoters of the Slater hall course, II. A Tirrel and Archibald Mitchell, have a contract whereby the orchestra, for a stated sum, agrees to give a concert in Norwich on Feb 10, This contract is signed by Sutorius 6 Co, for the Russian Symphony or cheEtra and by Archibald Mitchell for the Slater hall musical course.
 On last Monday a letter was FeceIy- ed from the management of the or cFaestra, stating that because of gen eraI conditions the orchestra has been compelled to give up its mid winter tour this season and cannot therefore afford to come to Norwich for one cert"
 Although the Norwich promoters of the musical course held the signed contract binding upon the orchestra, they seriously considered whether it be wise to endeavor to compel them to Live up tc the pFoFlSionS or Lne con- tract, and play here, when they were not willing to do so.
 If the orchestra was forced to live tip to its contract and give the con cert scheduled for Norwich, it was felt that they might play in an indifferent manner which would be far from sat- fEfactory to the local management or 10 the discriminating audience which they would be sure to have. So con- sidering the situation from every angle, Messrs. Tirrell and Mitchell thought 1t best to cancel the engage me1t. which was accordingly done.
 Whether or not sn1e other musical attraction of high standing win be se- cured for the Slater hall Concerts this season. the promoters of these con- certs are not in a position to state at this time.
