MUSIC


The old year ended and the new year
began for the patrons OF music in this
city with concerts by the Philadelphia
Orchestra, Thursdays concert was be-
yond criticism in It's circumstances: II
would make pleasant episram II one
could say that yesterdays concert was
beyond criticism in It's performance. But
It would not be true.
Not that there is great fault TO find
with the concert, The tone OF the strings
In the concerto especially adapted TO
their needs was not robust: by some per-
versity the best Individual effort and the
best ensemble playing Of the strings came
not IN vivaldl, where It was to havb
been. expected, but In the symphony At
times In the latter piece the rhythm was
insufiiciently held, there we're moments
OF roughness and still the moments of
dulness which beset the orchestra 10
compensate there were long reaches Of
excellent playing and in the largo of
tho symphony and in practically all of
the smetana poem the quality OF inspira-
ton and Of performance was irreproacti-
able. There are times when one NAV
quarrel with Mr.. stokowskl's conventions
and interpretations: but It has often been
remarked that In the reading of any
work which Is thoroughly people" his
intuitions and his judgments are unerr-
ing. Yesterday he had Dvorak's SYM
phony with Its roots deep In the Negro
soil Of our country, and he had "On the
Banks OF the Moldau" through which
tho stream of common life flows In a.
swift and tumultuous course. Is Il any
wonder that he trlumphed?
Oscar Seagle was the soloist of the
afternoon. He sang the mon piu andrai, ,"
from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro" and
1t cannot be said that he sang 1t well.
Because this aria is light, because IL is
the merriest bit of singing in the literature
of opera, II need not be dashed off with
out infinite care. There are singers who
can take 1t at the breaknecl< dash It de-
mands, yet can make each tone full and
sonorous and humorous. Mr.. Seagle is
not yet one of these His singing was far
too easy, his tones not labored enough.
The fine rotundity of accents escaped him,
the richness and color of the song were
not there. In the somewhat graphically
named "Chanson de la Puce," by Nous
sorgsky, his singing partially explained
and partially atoned for his previous mis-
fortune. His defamation was excellent
his voice more powerful and satisfying.
But. until he can join these better quail

CRACKSMEN FOIL
EFFORTS OF POLICE
TO CATCH THEM
Organized Band of Thieves
at Work Here Despite
Warnings of Their Com
ing.

Yeggmen from New York, against
whom Superintendent OF Police Robinson
has asked the police of every district
to warn storekeepers, have for nearly a
month been at work in this city, and so
far have managed to elude the cleverest
traps the combined brains of the police
and detective force can set for them.
The warning OF Superintendent Robin
son was issued December 4. Each blue
coat was instructed to pay particular at
tention to buildings where there are
safes. The Superintendent said a gang
of cracksmen were in the city, after
being driven out of New York.
Two days later a safe on the second
floor of the Riker & Hageman drug store,
1910 Market street, was broken open and
$500 in cash taken out. The yeggmen
covered their tracks so carefully the
police have no clew to work on.
The police confessed they had been out
witteds and pronounced the burglary a
| neat job. But their admiration of the
yeggmen's skill was to assume greater

The warehouse OF A. Sterrett, 1406 South
Front street. was the last place visited.
The trouble netted the thieves only s1.42.
On the previous night a band of sec
ond-story men, whom the police believe
to be a part of the New York yeggmen,
visited 10 houses In Logan, all in the
same block on North Camac street. They

the piano, emptied the larder and feasted
bountlfully at almost every house visited.
This dlsmayed neither Captain Of De-
tectives Cameron nor Detectives Doyle
and Benz, who predicted that the thieves
would be caught before long
Philadelphia is not the only city in
the State that was visited by this band
of expert burglars. they said.
eve do not know the Identity of the
yeggs that are operating In this State, -
said Doyle Although we have reason
to believe that these operations are the
work of the New York mob, the character
of work shows that the safes were blown
by separate gang.
1.-THE gang OF burglars that knock the
combination OFF the safe with sledge
hammer, as was done at the Riker &
Hageman drug store, is known as the
American band. The Irish gang dyna-
mite the combination, and the Schwarz
job is an example of this kind of work,
This gang makes its own nitroglycerin,
while the band known as the Jewish
gang manufactures the section jimmies
with which 1t forces open the doors OF
the safes. The Italian gang uses huge
can-opener and prizes of the back OF a
safe as one would open tin of sardines.

latter gang is really in Chicago. but
