SYKORA CHARMS
IN HIS DEBUT AT
CARNEGIE HALL
Resale Miller Heard In Recital
at Comedy-Maud Morgan
Gives Harp Concert

A new 'cc}list made his American
debut yesterday afternoon at Carnegie
Hall and succeeded in adding another
name to The long list Of real musical
artists row soiourninc on our shores.
The new name was Bogumil Sykora.
Mr. Sykors is real master of his
instrument. possessed Of q technique
az once firm and elastic, a tone Of
great richness. which he controlled
with great deicacy His musical feel
ing was. at once made evident in the
Patti Concerto i'm y minor and IN a
group Of his own composition, and
notably i'm his Noturno, a melodious
and graceful little piece, he displayed
finely proportional sense of light
and shade.
The literature devoted TO the cello
as solo instrument is not over OK
tensivc, but the concerts devoted 10
such music have this season been few,
In marked contrast To those for violin
and piano. Yet within two days Mr..
Standby has given most successful
recital 40 Aoolan and Mr.. Sykora at
Carnegie. IL is to be hoped that those
which may follow viii prove as en-
joyable.
- sONIE hiNlSl WHO ought 10 prove
very acceptable in salon work gave a
song recital i'm the afternoon at the
Comedy Theatre, an auditorium which
rs fast entering into the ken of our
music public. he young woman was
Miss Resale Miller. Her voice was
light and sometimes thin in texture,
but she sang with impeccable taste
and marked feeling for the nuances
OF expression.
Her diction i'm her French songs was
remarkably clear, and in such numbers
as Debussy's Les ClOches" and Saint
Ssens's ia Solitaire" she was entirely
a home. In the field of intimate song
Miss Miller ought TO find niche.
Ia the evening at Aeolian Hall. Miss
Maud Morgan, assisted by Dr. W. 6.
Carl. organist, and four young women
haTpists, gave recital to an audience
of good size. Miss Morgan is an e1
ccllent artist, and in number of Sc
lectious, including Francois Thome's
"Legendc," TO DR. Carl's accompani-
ment, gave marked pleasure. Two
novel arrangements were the "Parsifa,
Good Friday music and the Coronation
March from lie Prophetic" which were
played by the combined harps and
organ.

Boldt in his will also discharged and
released his son, daughter and son-ln-
law from any debt which either of

SEPARATE AVIATION URGED
General Scriven in His Report Advo-
Gates Divorce from Signal Corps

The eventual separation Of the avis
:ion section from the Signal Corps OF
:he United States Army Is approved by
Brigadier General George =. Scriven.
chief signal officer of tne army, in his
annual report TO the Secretary Of War,
which was made public yesterday.
Following n general resume OF the
progress made in military aviation In
the last year the report tells Of the
plan 10 organize seven aero squadrons
Of the regular army. twelve squadrons
ior the National Guard division and
five for the defenecs Of both coasts.
besides aerostatic units for the mobile
army and coast ARTILLERY.
General Server speaks OF the small
ness Of the signal corps and then says:
at is becoming increasingly evident
that the system Of detailing officers
from the line for periods Of service,
frequently short. is as vicious as 1t IS
archaic. and should be changed"

AGED COUPLES
PARALYSIS CURE
BRINGS $500 FINE
Man, Who Said He Was 1903,
Doomed NoStrum; Woman, rs,
Sold 1t, Inspectors Testified

Charles Smith and Gertrude s. "a
briskie, an aged and benevolent look
ing couple, who conceived the notion OF
advertising and selling an infantile
paralysis cure, were fined in the Mu-
nicipal Term Court yesterday. for vio-
lating city ordinances. The woman,
who is seventy-Gve years old, and did
the selling. was fined $500. Her com
panion, q graybcard. who asserted he
was 1903, was fined $500.
His task was to tell the public the
cause of infantile paralysis and why
his nostrum, composed of five grains
Of plant extract i'm three ounces of di-
luted alcohol, would cure 1t or sct as a
preventive.
That his theory was attractive TO the
East Side was asserted by inspectors
from the Department of Health, who
managed TO buy some Of the small
phials. despite the demand. The couple
were in business as physicians, at lO2
East Sixteenth Street.
The venerable Smith traced the orr
gin OF the disease, according TO a
pamphlet Of which he was said to be
the author, TO patent milk preparations.
Such food, he pointed out, coated the
kidneys with fungus growth. Conse-
ouontly they could not perform their
natural function" which he described
as the distillation OF liquid foods into
alcohol, which, as every one knows,
creates heat and invigorates the circu-
lAtion of the blood.
With no Kidneys distilling alcohol
for the system something serious could
be expected 10 result, and such, indeed,
relates the circular, was the case. Urlc
acid gas was created, which, in turn,
produced the familiar drowsiness and
dizziness. which were the first symp-
toms Of infantile paralysis.
