SPECIAL SESSIONS TRIES
MORE DRUG ADDICT CASES
Report to Mayor Shows Relief Afforded
by New Misdemeanor Assignment

Chief Justice Kernochan. of Special
Sessions. has filed a report with Mayor
Mitchell. showing a marked decrease IN
misdemeanor cases handled by that
court during 1915. "a compared with
1915. The cause OF this, Justice her-
rochan says. is the new law enacted IN
1915 which gives the City Magistrates
Court jurisdiction over many Of the
more trivial misdemeanors. As result
Special Sessions has been able to de-
vote more time 20 serious cases, OF
which there is constantly increasing
number. especially cases Of drug ad-
diets and sellers. The report SHOWS
that 1886 cases were handled IN 1912
against 1858 in 1915.
Recent laws prohibiting the sale ana
use OF habit-forming drugs have not re
duced the number of addicts arraigned'
the report states. calling attention to
the fact that cases Of this kind showed
an increase Of 1872 in 1916 over 1919.
It has been the policy Of the justices
in Special Sessions 10 impose severe
nsnslties on those convicted OF selling
or distributing such drugs illegally.
The victims are committed TO hospitals
ar other institutions, where experts su-
pervise their cure.
Hone il expressed that the result OF
the study OF the drug evil made b. the
committee headed by Justice Collins
will be legislation that will more ef.
fectually prevent the sale and use 0i

Music Of Yesterday
Novel Interest in Symphony
Society's Programme-lhe
Philharmonic Concert

The symphony Society's programme
yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall
had several elements of novel interest.
II opened with Mozart's Symphony
Concertant, for violin and viola, IN
which the solo artists were Alexander
Saslsvsky and Samuel Lifschey. This
charming composition, so seldom heard
in public, was most alphabetically
given, both by the two soloists and in
Er. Damrosch's accompaniment. The
Liapunow piano concerto, which foI-
lowed. was likewise nearly a novelty.
though Josef Hoffman, played II with
the same orchestra in 1907. IL is a
brilliant though rather shallow work,
which gives the pianist ample oppor-
tunity. Needless TO say Nine. Leginska,
who played it yesterday, found II quite
to her liking. while the audience seemed
bent on making her repeat 1t.
George W. Chadwick's symphonic
poem "Aphrodite" is novelty to New
Workers. lt was first performed at the
Norfolk Festival on June I. 1912, and II
is dedicated to MIR. and Mrs; Carl
Stceckel 1t contains many pleasing
il is scarcely equal to some of the same
composers other compositions. The
part depicting the sea has atmosphere,
and the military episode, spirit. IL was
given a vigorous performance by the
orchestra. The concluding number was
Enesco's Rumanian Rhapsody No. /.
The Philharmonic Society's concert
at Carnegie Hall held another large
audience. Fritz Kreisler being the solo
ist in the Tschaikowsky Concerto. Nr.
Stransky's piece de resistance was the
Sibelius Symphony, No. ,. The regu-
lar Sunday night concert at the Met
ropolitan Opera House was somewhat
OF n novelty in this series, in that a
portion of the programme was gwen
by the Societe des Instruments Anciens-
This little orchestra was somewhat out
of place in the huge auditorium, yet II
apparently gave much pleasure. Inc
two solo artists were Mile. Gabrielle
ellis and Fernando Carpi. Mile. ellis
is a French soprano of pleasing voice
and unusually clear diction. In the
air from Louise" and a group OF
songs she proved herself we'll versed in
the requirements OF French song. Mr..
Carpi sang, among other things, una
furtiva lagrima." The orchestra was
under the direction of Richard Hage-
man.

ia no gainsaying, but just what Will

70 the grower is what the promoters
are after.

The Coming Tower
on READING "THE PARTY"

Mrs. Alice Duer Miller
Says that those with muckle siller.
Glowing gems and dripping laces,
All have sad, unhopeful faces.
Where, then, if these folks be fearful,
Are the countenances cheerful?
Are they on the East Side mothers?
Or grim socialistic brothers?
Homeless men on hard park benches?
Soldiers in the foreign trenches?
No; note that in these cases,
All have sad, unhopeful faces.
Tell US, Alice Duer Miller,
What class is the great Gloom-Killer.
There must be some rank or station
Marked by joyial citation.
Some locality or calling
Free from sadness so appalling.
Chorus girls, with pencilled eyebrows;
Knobby tempted white-faced highbrows;
Flooding pupils; earnest teachers;
Snug professors; pallid preachers;
Homely housewives; busy boarders;
Careless spendthrifts; thrifty hoarders;
These display not Mirth her traces
All have sad, unhopeful faces.
Nh, have it, Mrs. Miller;
Simple Lies the great Joy-Spiler!
That ideal income which Is
Neither poverty nor riches.
See, the small towns social circle,
Where alternate play and workl
Bring an uplift that shall Tighten
Hearts, and cause all homes to brighten.
Where the neighbors' helpful chatter
Makes of life laughing NATTER
Away came l from those places
Nj had sad, unhopeful faces

Mrs. Alice Duer Miller,

Wait! Your very names suggestive
Of occasions gay and festive;

Happy hotbed of Flubdubdom
All, these ladies so efficient,
Capable, wellnigh omniscient;
Organizing,-reading papers,
Past-destroyers, future-shapers,-
Are they marked by smiling graces?
All show sad, unhopeful faces.
Mrs. Alice Duer Miller,
You've uneased my midnight piller;
Hours and hours lie amusing
On your lines I've been perusng;
All undrowsing and undopeful,
Plying those sad, unhopefuI

Stay! A notion strikes me,
And VOW it much beikes me!
Can it be,-as It's with Beauty
