URGES RIGID
LEGISLATION FOR AUTOS
Large Increase of Motorcar Fatalities
in Last Two Years Shown
in Report

Rigid legislation affecting motor trathc
is urged in the annual report of Coroner
Knight issued today. He made this sug-
gestion after comparing the large increase
of automobile fatalities during the last
decade.
"'rhere was an increase Of 100 per cent in
deaths from automobiles during 1916, when
$50 persons died as "A result OF injuries,
said Coroner knight in the report ANA
there were but seven in 1907. For number
of wears the average deaths numbered hftN
but this has jumped greatly during the last
two years.
Coroner knight said he had noticed that
the large majority of deaths were due to
drivers between the ages of eighteen ana
twenty-five and that men of more mature
age showed better judgment in critical mo-
ments.
"Frteen miles an hour for motortrucks,
said the Coroner, should be sufficient. Per-
sons who cross the streets between inter-
sections were also censured.
Elevation of railroads and caution on the
part of the r. Il. T, has also lessened
greatly the deaths from those two sources
the report pointed out. "Ohicials of the
transit company should he complimented
he advised in commenting ON few deaths
resulting from trolley injuries.

YOUNG ITALIAN VIOLlNIST
PLAYS THREE CONCERTOS
Giovanni Antonio Cianciarulo Also
Heard in a Tarantella of His
Own Composition

Giovanni Antonio CianciarulO, young
Italian vioIinist who made his Philadel-
phia bow last evening in Witherspoon Hail.
attempted a very big and very difficult pro-
gram He included three concertos, the
Henri Vieuxtemps in f sharp minor the
Brahms in - ma jor and the Paganni IN
b minor and supplemented this taxing Of
fering with an original composition, Iarah'
tella Italienne.'
He had the assistance of Virginia Sny-
der at the piano. A very large ana ell
thusastic audience was In attendance ana
cheered the soloist to his best efforts.
These efforts brought to view a technique
that was adroit and flexible, particularly
in harmonics and double stopping and
decided feeling for the intents of the COM
poser and the power to communicate them
10 the hearers. Mr.. Cianciarulo has. in ad-
dition, the excellent asset of "A gracefully
unobtrusiye platform presence and is minus
the offending affectations of pose and ges-
ture that mark some of his contemporaries
There can be little doubt that the pro-
gram was a bit heavy for the average
American audience, although II is OF
standard structure in Berlin and doubtless
in Rome and Naples. But the Continental
tastes and norms are not yet applicable 10
the United States. Fiddlers who come here
usually are content to put one elaborate
concerto at full length on a program IN

Vieuxtemps also was an exemplhcation OF
