music ADDS TO
POWER OF Poem

The new musical setting for The
Ballad Of Reading Gaol," which Frank
Moss and Will Levers will present
at the Lanai theater a week from Sat
urday night, is proving itself more and
more interesting as rehearsals pro-
gress. 1t is the latest composition Of
Mr.. Moss, and the great possibilities
of the poem which has been chosen
have been fully worked out in the
musical accompaniment which he has
arranged for Mr. Levers reading.
Parts of the poem, as everyone
knows, are tragic and despairing, and
Mr.. Moss has brought out the hope
lessness of these moods by the use
of the whole tone scale where they
occur. This scale, which has been
used by Debussy, Cyri. Scott and other
modernists in music, gives the feeling
of relentless fate, ewing to its unus-
ual progression by whole tones instead
of the conventional whole and half
tones combined. Great strength Of
tragic emotion is characterized by
this method, and its use in The Bal
lad of Reading Gaol' expresses to the
full the deeper, more tragic portions
of the poem.
The diatonic scale such as the older
masters of music employed is used in
the happier and more hopeful parts
of the ballad with telling effect. The
combination of the whole tone scale
and the diatonic, composed Of whole
and half tones, helps to bring out in
strong contrast the two differing
moods of Oscar Wilde's masterpiece.
. A reading Of The Raven" by Edgar
Allan Poe, with musical setting by A.
Bergh, will share honors with the
Wilde poem This composition, which
is comparatively recent, has already
won a firm place in the opinions OF
musical critics as the best setting
which has been yet done for The
Raven" Mr.. Levers brings out in his
Interpretation the more spiritual quail
tiles of the poem, & we'll as its hope
less tragedy and Sense of loss, and
Mr.. Moss at the piano ably seconds
him
AS a contrast to the two long selec
tons of the evening something in the
way Of a lighter and happier number
has been promised as surprise fol
the end Of the program. The recital
/ in the Lanai theater is sure is be q
social event of prominence, and many
parties are already being arranged tc
enjoy one of the interesting musical
events of the early summer. Tickets
may be secured from Mr.. Moss al

For several years he was mining engineer in a coal mine near that place Then he went to Leipzig, Germany, and studied in the Royal Conservatory of Music. He returned to the United States in 1901. He taught vocal music in his home town, continuing his studies under Madam Thursby of New York, where he went on weekly trips. He also directed church choirs in Hazelton.
 SpanRell married Miss ChrYstal Holland in 1906. Their daughter ChryStal is z. Spannelrs friends in Waco have raised a large sum for the defense, and some of the best counsel in the Southwest has been retained in his behalf
 Wife "Got in Way"
 Sometime ago he declared that he intended only to shoot Butler and that his wife "got in the way"
 After Buffers death the war de- partment raised his grade to a lieu tenant colonel so his widow and child might have a larger pension.
 At Christmas Spanncll received more gifts than any other person iu San Angelo Most of them were from persons Of whom he had never heard They came from all parts ol the country.
 Dramatic Story of Crime.
 On Friday, Jan. 26th, Spanneil went on the stand in his own de- tcnse. With Q dramatic suddenness that struck the court room like a bolt from the blue sky, Spannel de- clared that Lieut.. Col. M. c. Butler fred the fatal shot which Killed Mrs Spanell

Butler.
 Tears fell from the eyes Of jurors who listened to Spanelrs tensely dra- matic story. His insenate sobbing was echoed by spectators and court officers whose sympathies had been aroused to a high pitch that was but visibly increased when the witness closed his story with the declara- l ton:
 'I never shot my wife. Butler 1 killed her, and as he moved out of | the way Chrystal fell Butler also fell"
