BRITISH HOLD
MUCH CONTRABAND

London, March 3.-A half dozen
large American department stores
of merchandise now in possession of
the English customs officers. The
goods have been seized under the
blockade at sea, and in port, under the
British customs laws as being of sus-
pected enemy origin. The articles in
clude almost everything from pins to
pianos. The bulk of the goods came
from Scandinavian ports, and were
consigned to nearly every country out
side the British empire.

The spoken word, gesture, dance and
French we're all employed as mediums

chief contributor to the programme.
Her first appearance was in solo play,

CHURCH WORKERS
TAKEOTY CENSUS
Majority of Families Are
Asked to Attend
Services

Three families out Of every four in
this city, it is estimated, were visited
in their homes yesterday and urged TO
make attendance at church a habit.
No specific church was mentioned,
for the visitors went in the broad name
of religion They travelled in pairs, in
most cases either a Jew and a Catholic.
a Protestant and a Catholic or a Jew
and a Protestant.
The work was done under the joint
auspices Of every important religious
organization in the city and under the
active direction Of J. Shreve Durham,
superintendent of the home visitation
committee of the international Sunday
School Association.
More than thirty thousand volunteer
workers served, and, according 10 esti-
mates last night between 70 and IS per
cent Of the population was interviewed.
In some districts, notably those IN
The Bronx and Staten Island, the
workers reported 100 per cent Of their
work completed. Tn the East SIDE was
made the lowest record. Fewer than 80
per cent Of the people were visited. The
Manhattan apartment house section Of
fered one Of the most serious difficult
ties for the visitors.
At each place the names Of all resi-
dents were taken, with the religious
preference Of each child and adult. All
we're urged 20 attend some church or
Sunday school. When the reports are
turned In they will be delivered 10 the
leaders Of the religion for which pref
Crence is expressed. Where a person
had no choice his card will be avail
able to the workers of all religions
who may wish 10 call on MIN.
Greater New York was divided into
1856 districts, and each church assigned
about 10 Der cent Of its bership for
visiting work.
The home visitation plan has been in
operation for about eight years. Among
the cities where Mr.. Durham has done
this work are Chicago. Philadelphia,
San Francisco. St. Louis, Louisville,
Montreal, Detroit and Baltimore.

EDGAR B. BRONSON,
NOTED AS HUNTER

Intimate OF Colonel Roosevelt
Stricken When Speaking

Edgar Beecher Bronson, author
hunter and intimate of Colonel Roose-

Hospital yesterday morning after an
illness of only a few hours. Mr.. Bron-
son was in tho midst of an address 20
the alumni association Of the hospital
at Delmonico's Saturday night when ne
was stricken.
Although Mr.. Bronson had many ad-
ventures IN the South African hunting
grounds later made famous by Colonel
Roosevelt visit, the one he loved best
to recount had 70 DO with his expert
ence during his early life as a reporter
for The Tribune. He scored a beat on
all the other newspapers on the famous
Henry Ward Beecher trial by rIskng
his life in the icy waters of the East
River, and he called that the big adven'
ture Of his life.
The final session of the jury in the
case ended late at night, with all ferry
boats from Brooklyn tied up by ice
Bronson clambered out upon a large
piece of floating ice and at the risk OF
being drowned, poled himself across
the river 20 Manhattan, reaching the
Tribune Office IN time TO get MS story
into the paper.
After leaving The Tribune he went
into the cattle business, became cashier

TWO SYMPHONIC
CONCERTS PLEASE
SUNDAY AUDIENCES
Damrosch and Stransky Neglect
Opportunity to Furnish
Patriotic Music

As usual, there were two symphonic
concerts yesterday afternoon-one by
the Philharmonic Society in Carnegie
Hall, another oy the symphony Society
in Aeoian Hall. The comparative IN
terest OF the two entertainments IS SUI
ticiently disclosed by a mention OF the
compositions which we're performed.
Mr.. Stransky and his orchestra
brought forward Weber's overture 20
"Oberon," Schumann's concerto for
pianoforte and orchestra, with Mr.. Err
nest Schelling as the solo performer;
the nocturne and scherzo from Men
delssohn's Incidental music Tor "A Mid
summer Nights Dream and Tscha.-
kofsky's fifth symphony. Nr. Walter
Damrosch gave his. audience Cesar
Franck's Symphony in d minor, two
movements from Robert Fuchs's Sere-
made for strings, four movements from
Dvoraks Suite, Op. 80, and two arias
Zach. ich liebti,' from Mozart's opera
"Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serial" and
"Charmant Oiseau," from Feicien
Dayid's opera, lie Perle de Brasll').
sung by Mabel Garrison.
The Schumann concerto, agreeably
played by Mr. Schelling, would have
commanded a greater interest from the
professional listener probably II Il had
not followed so closely upon the heels
of the remarkable performance which
it received at the hands OF Paderewski
and the Boston Orchestra at the Metro
politan Opera House. But, Of course,
the professional listeners standard
cannot be set up for the Philharmonic
Society's audience, as was once the
case. The pink tea standard is now
the proper one. Miss Garrison exhib-
tied a high degree Of intelligence,
taste and skill in the singing OF the
two ford arias with which she enter
tanned the Aeolian Hall audience. and
plainly demonstrated what place she IS
entitled 10 occupy in the Metropolitan
Opera Company's forces.
On Friday and Saturday afternoon,
Mr.. Damrosch began his concerts by
playing the American national hymns,
bringing his listeners 20 their feet and
evoking an enthusiastic expression OF
patriotic feeling on each occasion. He
did not do so yesterday; neither did
Mr.. Stransky. We're not both neglect
ful OF an opportunity to do good-if
not a duty? Every theatre and concert
room in the country ought to resound
TO patriotic music every day, II music
has the inspiriting power which IS uni
versally attributed TO IL. II. Z. X.

Appeal TO People to Save Wheat and

bread:
The soil Of France, by reason Of the
war, does not produce any more than
enough wheat 70 supply its children.
The deficit must be bought abroad and
paid for in gold. The nation, in an
swer to the appeal OF the government
has given up its gold, but that is a
precious resource which is limited and
must be kept.
"All waste must be avoided. The
law Of April %, 1915, prohibits and
Furnishes The use as food for cattl e or
horses, wheat. Aour or bread. \
