TREGNA'S MUSIC HAS
INTENSE INDIVIDUALITY
Critics Say Washington Composer
Promises to Take. High Place
Among Modern Writers.

Twenty years ago Washington pos
sessed a young musical composer whose
compositions were played by many of
the leading orchestras in Europe and
America. Sixteen years ago this COM
poser ceased to publish his works. Four
years ago he began again. and now he
is hailed by many critics as promising to
take his place with the greatest of liv-
ing writer's.

which is Suite Characteristique." says
Homer Julien in The Metronome.''
Mr.. Tregina told his interviewer. Mr..
Julien. that he has stopped writing six
teen years ago because he felt he held
in mind the possible effects Of his music
upon the people. II now put love into
the music, and its success among mu-
sicians has been as marvellous as II was
unhoped for" he said.
His Suite Characteristique" is a pic
ture Of four national types. 1t opens
with the weird. bizarre. haunting melan-
choly Of the Hungarian. as revealed In
his music, but with his passionate aban-
don soothed and consoled in forest soli-
tudes Then it turns to the Poland of
Chopin's day-a nation wherein there

able.

The Suite" first was played by the
Washington Symphony Orchestra from
his manuscript in concert. 1t has since
been published by Carl Fischer and he
has programs including this compost
ton from all over the United States. He
has written several more compositions
since his Suite among the most
prominent of which Is the Symphonic

he pictures a stern, rugged Northerner

FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON

One of the ironies of fate in the sink
death of Sir J. Foster Stackhouse. Of the
British Admiralty, who had just COM
pleted plans for investigating the waters
where the Titanic went down to determine
the exact cause OF that accident. He was
going to England to bring his wife and
daughter to Washington. where his head
quarters were 10 be established. He had
purchased the Discoverer. the ship used
by Capt. Robert Fulton Scott in his ant
arctic explorations. at the time Of his
death.
Commander Stackhouse had organized
an oceanographic survey corps In which
members of the British and United States
government research bodies were to have
Joined. Thse men were to have gathered
in Washington and gone upon the jour-
nev this summer
They were to be gone seven years.
The ship Discoverer was to go first
to Greenland, thence to Iceland and
then investigate the reasons for the
accident which befell the Titanic of
the coast of Newfoundland in 1912.
Three British sailing vessels had gone
to the bottom in the same place many
years ago. When the Titanic sank
his belief that part of Newfound-
land had been broken off from the
mainland and had drifted down there,
thus forming a lodging place for ice
bergs.
DIR. H. L. f. johnson, of 1881 JEFF

house in London last August and
came over from England with him.
DR.. johnson was his host throughout
his stay in this City. Commander
Stackhouse was also DR.. Johnson's
guest at the University Club, where
he made hundreds of friends.
Il cannot believe that Commander
Stackhouse went down ISSh the Lusi-
tania," said DR.. Johnson. He was
almost too good a sailor for that to
happen. but If he did drown it was
because he was aiding the women
and children to safety and gave no
thought to himself"
