The Symphony Concert.

With Nine. Alma Gluck as the soloist,
and with a program Of melodic beauty
that always marks the offerings Of
Leopold stokowski, the Philadelphia
Orchestra. at the New National Thea
ter yesterday afternoon, fairly won
and ungrudgingly received the homage
it deserved in what beyond question
was one of the finest symphony con-
certs ever given in Washington.
While to some who were not present
and are not in touch with the drift of
musical sentiment that has become
marked during the past two years at
least, this may sound like musical
treason, yet the consensus of an emf
nently representative audience yester-
day afternoon. expressed both in ap-
plause SO enthusiastic that 1t threat
ened interruption, and had to be
checked by the ever-watchful director
of the orchestra, as we'll as in general
and vigorous comment at the close of
the concert. the impression that yes
terday's event was the musical treat
of the season.
Nine. Alma Gluck, whose beautiful
voice. artistic skill and pleasing per-
sonality are thoroughly familiar to the
musicians of Washington, was at her
best Her numbers were the aria.
"L'Amer saro Constante." from Mozarts
III Re Pastore." and the Russian Sc
lection, "Cavatina," from "Rouslane at
Ludmila," by Michail Ivanovitch Glinka.
Her rendition of them won the hearth
est applause and many recalls.
Beethovens "Egmont" overture open
ed the orchestral program and was fol-
lowed by Haydn's beautiful symphony
in G major (B. & H. edition. No. 13):
Arensky's delightful variations on
theme of Tschaikowsky and Tschai-
kowskys tragic fantasia, Francesca
da Rimini,' opus 80.
Twice during the concert, in re-
sponse to vigorous and continued ap-
plause, Director Stokowski called his
orchestra to stand and acknowledge
the splendid tributes of delighted sat
isfaction.

Discusses Railway Burdens.
Representative Lloyd in his address
declared the railroads Of the country
are unable to cope with present condi-
tions and urged his auditors to give the
subject careful consideration. He said
the remaining bonded debt on the roads
represents a very large percentage Of
their entire value. and that this value
is said by some already to be over
rated. Therefore. he pointed out. it
would be difficult for the roads to bor-
row any more money.
He said because some OF the roads
have made money which it was un-
wise for them to make in view Of the
public welfare" the public has become
prejudiced against them. he urged
that action should be taken to meet
of expanding trade and com
merce and that this action should oe
fair to all concerned. The bulk OF the
American people. he said. were IN favor
of regulation rather than government
ownership.
A rising vote Of thanks was rendered
him for his address. P. T. Moran,
president of the chamber, presided. and
a buffet supper was served following
the meeting.

Frank A. Burns, eighteen years old,
74S 7th street southeast, operator of

and reported the accident to j. j. Sui
livan, his employer.
The young man told the police that
his car was not going fast when the

thought Mr. Soper slipped on the ice
and fell in front of his automobile.

Representative Gallivan of Massa-

did not attempt to minimize the worth
of a good clerk and that congressional
secretaries are frequently responsible
for the success of the members.
Representative Fitzgerald of New York

Considerable discussion preceded a
vote to increase the salary of secretaries
to representatives from $500 to $4,000 a

representative an extra stenographer for

mas reopened his campaign to compel
government clerks in Washington to

speech on the floor of the House yester-
