/ ANNUAL LOSS TO RICHMOND
| Is PLACED AT S4Ss 81

The report of our City Auditor for
the last fiscal year shows that St.te
legislation passed within the last few
years has caused an annual loss of
revenues TO our city amounting to
f4Sa.604. The rigid limitations nut
upon the taxing powers OF cities con-
fronts them with the choice either to
make considerable increase in their
tax rate, or else to abandon necessary
mnSicipal activities. lnasmuch as the
present system fails TO provide Suni-
Gent revenue at reasonable rates for
the various cities and towns a con-
dltion that has been sai:ed the out
standing defeat in the present system
by legislator who was one OF its
supporters, | think that it would be
to the interest of those who have been
SO affected TO confer together prior to
the coming meeting of the General AS
scH,oly with the view OF acting in con-
cert In bringing the case to the at
tention OF the legislature"
Mayor Ainslie will entertain the
representatives tomorrow afternoon at
1880 o'clock with luncheon at AIurphv's
Hotel.

NO ATTACK on SEGREGATION
But Attention Of Legislature IG to
BE Called to Disastrous Effects OF
Long Series OF Acts Adverse to
Interests OF Cities.

Representatives OF practically every
city and town in Virginia Will open
three-day tax conference in Richmond
this morning at 10 o'clock, at the suE-
Gcstiop OF hlayor George Ainsiie, in a
concerted movement to place before tho
General Assembly next week facts
showing the losses suffered by the mu-
inequalities Of the State through the
operation of legislation passed in re-
cent years.
Between thir,y-hve and forty repre-
scntatives are expected to attend the
conference, which will be held In the
Council chamber at the City Hail. al
though severe weather and the snow
storm will prevent several delegates
attending the meeting. Replies re-
ceived last night by Mayor Ainslie to
his recent invitation 10 attend the con-
ference indicated a large attendance.
General discussion of recent state
tax legislation, including the sesreSa-
ton law. Will occupy the greater part
OF the conference. which will probahl
be concluded late tomorrow. The
meeting is expected TO result in the
appointment of committee to work
out report for presentation to the
General Assembly requesting that Ger
tain relief be given the cities and
towns OF the State
NO ATTEMPT TO ATTACK
SEGREGATION TAX Law
Mayor Ainslie pointed out last night
that there was no attempt being made
to attack the segregation tax law. Mu-
inequalities have suffered from several
acts OF the Legislature in recent years,
and ii is only for the purpose of plac-
ing the true facts before tho General
Assembly in order that the cities may
have restored to them what has been
taken away. This must be done for
the welfare Of the municipalities, he
said, and some more equitable distribu-
tion of revenues made.

ENERGY APLENTY IN
SCHMIDT QUARTET
Ethelyn Dryden an Excellent Solo
ist in Sinding's Piano Quintet.
Russian Music Played

"Garabed" was successfully harnessed
last night with the result that all the
so-called free energy was captured and
then unleashed at the final concert of
the Schmidt String Quartet in Wither-
spoon Hall. Despite several counter-at-
fractions large audience paid its final
regards of the season to this splendid
organization which has been doing so
much to keep alive the best musical
traditions in Philadelphia.
Offhand it Is difficult TO recall a
chamber-musiC program In which energy
Is so dominant a feature as that given
last night, and the four musicians, Emil
F, Schmidt, first violin; Louis Angeloty,
second violin Emil Hail, viola, and will

lowing numbers with admirable verve:

Dohnanyi's u fiat major quarter is
like an echo of Cesar Franck's d minor
symphony. The first movement es'
pecially suggests the struggle between
so marked trait Of the Belgian
masters great work. The whole quartet
too, has the same mystical quality, only
the combat Is more vigorous, physically,
There Is little OF the restraint which
makes FTanoks's chef d'oeuvre so power
full. The opening theme of the final ami
mato is one of the most heroic challenge
cries in the literature Of music. A freer
use of the motif would give stronger
sense of ultimate victory, which would
add conviction and fuller appeal TO the
| quartet. There is a delightfully."- Slavic
| trio, in the spirit of the third act OF
Boris Goudonoff," in the scherzo' here
| called presto acciacato.
The three Russian numbers contribut,
ed their share TO the force and Vlgor OF
| the concert, while Sinding's piano quintel
completed the program in the fullest
meaning Of the word, Energy and repost

| Dryden played the plano part and I'm
| mediately gave a greater feeling OF In

doubted character to her touch and keeT

| semble where there was no call for thu
piano TO dominate, while In the SOLE
passages she performed with ease an'
authority.

OF new works by American composers
and patriotic motive of benenting the

its season last evening in the ball
room of the Bellevue Stratford. Tho
Treble Clef. composed of women mu-
scians and music lovers OF Phiadcl-

cations in the city and its spring con-
cert is always eagerly looked forward

much that is unusual and the singing is
admirable in quality and finished IN

lowed by a dance, with music provided
by a band from League Island.
The program contained three novelties,

Invocation to the Spring" dedicated tc
the Treble Clef and its capable con-
ductor, Karl Schneider. The soloists

prano, and Martha +. Petit, pianiste.
Ellis Clark Hammann was the excellent
and discreet accompanist for part Of the
program, a small orchestra made up OF
members Of the Philadelphia Orchestra
playing the score Of Mr.. Montani's can
tata.
Mr.. Schneider has developed an cN'
celently rounded and sonorous uody Of
tone from his forces. 1t is characterized
by ample volume, smoothness Of texture

diction. The effects of tonal light ant

COLLEGE STUDENTS
PLAN WAR COURSES
Wellesley Girls Will Analyze
Changing Situations and Eff
feet on the World
Wellesley, Mass. April -.


With view to developing independent
and effective thinking on the part Of tho
college girl, resulting in the attainment
Of a full realization Of present-day prob
lens and that she may be enabled 10 cor
relate her work with that of the complex
world, and also that her place may be
found and properly filled, the students
Of Wellesley College have inaugurated
a series Of classes, to be held at specific
district gatherings, for the purpose of
analyzing the constantly changing situa-
tions Of the war, their effect upon the
world and relation to the life of the
college girl.
The idea Is the outcome Of n summer
conference at Mortified in which dele
gates from Wellesley participated. At
this conference plans for some form OF
campaign for active thinking along the
lines Of world democracy were propa-
gated, and special committee was Sc
lected to carry out recommendations
made.
These we're enhanced by the address
Of Miss Bertha Fraser, depicting wom-
ans part in the war and arousing the
college body from its lethargic reslgna-
ton to a desire for active participation
in the war.
Then came a direct appeal for wom-
ems work in an address by Miss Cyril
/ Adams, secretary Of the Young Womens
Christian Association for the northern
States, calling for cooperation so
urgently needed in the world war. Miss
/ Adams's visit was the impetus needed to
start the already formulated idea and a
/ forum was held to set the matter before
the student body
! President Pendleton urged the impor-
| tance of clear. independent thinking In
these times and the necessity for college
women to cooperate with every move
ment tending to democracy and Chris
| tianity.
