COURT DEMANDS
Phone COURTESY
Chicago Judge Backs Wire Conn
paHy in Enforcement OF Rules
for Use OF Party Lines.

Users Of telephone lines in Chicago
must observe rules Of mutual courtesy
or have their phones removed on or
ders Of the court This was the edIct
given out yesterday by Judge John r.
Caverly in the municipal tribunal
Judge Caverly made his ruling after
he had been told that Paul Stone OF
27I6 Normal avenue. was anything but
courteous when he wanted TO use his
phone the other night and found that
it was busy.
j. C., Leyendecker. Of 2702 Normal
who is on party line with Stone. said
that his neighb0r used considerable
forceful language in inJeTrupUng an
evening chat,
LeyendeCker testified that Stone re
Iapsed into the profane and that ia q
couple OF minutes mutual courtesy
had degenerated into mutual anger.
I didn't like the way he talked and
went over TO his house TO see about it,
Leyendecker said. He cut me with a
knife"
a witness said that Leyendecker
backed up his objections with good
sized stone,
such persons are not fit to use tel
ephones," the court asserted before
assessing Stone S25. The misuse Of
the telephone is becoming too general.
Some subscribers don't care what they
say. The next time you two have any
trouble about your telephones, or if
evidence of abuse of them is brought
before me in any other cases, I am
going to ask the telephone company to
remove them"

DISPLAYED AT EXHIBIT

An exhibit OF modern and early-day
American metallurgicaI and handicraft
work was opened in octagon House
Eighteenth street and New York avenue,
yesterday under auspices OF the Art and
Archaeology League. The display is ar
ranged in a parallel study. so the diff
ference or similarity in art standards OF
the period easily is noticeable.

whose name stands as high in that art
as it does in American history. is ex-
hibI.ed next to the work Of contem-
porary silversmiths. Tapestries and
prints from ancient and modern looms
are displayed. and the work of publish
ers in binding and illuminating is shown.
Jewelry designing holds an important
place in the exhibit
In nearly all cases members OF the
league point out that the art of the
Revolutionary period is as beautiful and
dlever as modern work. The study Is
being made ito draw inspiration from
the early masters" it is explained. Some
Of the modern examples incorporate ideas
suggested by the older work. although
Improvement is aimed at where possible.

pervIsIon of Americans Abroad.

An Episcopal bishop should be appoint
ed to take charge of churches in Europe

take charge of church work among ne
groes in this country. Rev. DIR. George
Williamson-Smith said at a meeting at

ingtOn Glorious. composed OF Episcopal
clergymen of this diocese.
Rev. DR. Williamson-Smith said the
war had shown the number of Americans
unusually large in Europe. and that there
should be a bishop to take charge of the
work there. He recommended A bishop
suffragen to have charge of the work
among the colored people. and to appoint
such other bishops suffragen as might be
needed to take care of church work
among other races in the United States.

but 1t is doubtful If it can be passed
at this session. The eagerness Of DEM

simply to give evidence Of the fulfillment

Among the amendments added to the

providing for the appointment of an au-
ditor by the President to have partial
control of the finances of the general

a director OF the civil service to protect
those citizens of the United States who
went to the Philippines to take positions
in good faith. relying upon the civil
service system provided by the United
States for the islands. The director Of

SOCIETY PRESENTS MESSIAH. "
OratOriO Organization Renders Diff
hcuIt Music Beautifully.

Pure oratorio has had a chequered ca
reer in this city. From time to time a
revival of interest has given Washing
tonians one or two of the great works
during the winter. Then oratorio would
languish for another space Of time. Fin
ally there arose the Washington OratOrio
Society, Mr.. Sydney Lloyd Wrightson. or
ganizer and director. Mr.. Wrightson
has a special fondness for this, his avoca-
tion. The presentation OF the great ora
torios in the excellent manner in which
they are given by this society is one Of
the most vital forces in the musical life OF
community.
1t would be difficult to speak Of all the
choruses and arias in particular in last
nights performance OF the Messiah, at
the Church Of the Covenant, where it will
be repeated tonight. There was fine
work in the chorus Behold the Lamb OF
God" as one instance among others of
clear drawing Of contrapuntal lines, in a
chorus usually confusing to the hearer
because structurally so involved. The
great fugal chorus, Unto Us Child Is
Born" was beautifully given. So was
that most unpsychological chorus, I'VE
Like Sheep Have Gone Astray." given
with great force and cIearness Of line.
The "Hallelujah Chorus" was splendidly
rendered.
Mrs. Ethel HoItzclaw GawIer. soprano;
Miss Beulah N. Harper, contralto; Mr..
Richard T. Backing, tenor, and Mr.. Rob-
ert Maitland. basso. took the solo parts.
Mrs. Gawler's work was beautiful
throughout; not only Is her voice ade-
quate, but her readings are full Of sig
nificance. and she rises intelligently to
happy adaptation OF vocal color to the
varying text Exceedingly beautiful was
the aria 81 Know that My Redeemer
Llyeth." Miss Harper's voice, though
very sweet and charming in general, can
not be said to have met the exacting de-
mands Of heavy oratorio work last night.
Mr.. Backing was disappointing. He did
not rise either technically or In spirit to
the dignity Of oratorio work. Mr.. Malt
land, 9 New York basso. did some very
exaoting work IN true oratorio styls.
