by Germanism, Organizes
Symphony Society
PFEIFFER DENIES CHARGE

Organization of new musical group
the Philadelphia symphony Society
has followed n factioual row in the
Philharmonic Society, which reached a
climax last night at the annual session
of the Philharmonic.
Determination to pursue a community
music program as an entirely separate
group resulted directly from breach
among members Of the Philharmonic
which had been impending for the last
few months. One faction of the 6OO
members. which rallies around Mrs.
Ernest Toogood. former president oi
the society. accuses the other. which
adherrs to Walter r. Pfeiffcr, musical
director of the organization. of try
ing to convert the organization into a
German singing vcrrin.
The Pfeiffcr faction makes fat denial
and counter charges that followers of
Mrs. Toogood would transfPm the so
cicty from an educational institution
into Social affair."
TOOgood Faction Withdraws
Immediately following the annual
election in the Fuller Building. Eight
centh and Market streets. last night
when an almost entirely new group OF
officers was named, Mrs. Toogood and
| thirty one of her followers left the
meeting. They retired to the studio OF

! the society. and under the direction Of
Mrs. NJ. d. Edmonds organized the
new society.
Officers were Immediately elected
Mrs. Toogood was made president and
vote of confidence in her was given.
The meeting was attended by all the
retiring officers of the Philharmonic
Society. Tho vice presidents of the
new Philadelphia Symphony Society
are Samuel Laciar, Mrs. Joseph NJ
GaEzam and Colonel Sheldon Potter

Angela Marke. assistant secretary.
The executive committee includes
! Gustav Loeben. Mrs. Ralph Mellor. DR.
A. A. Jones, Mrs. Thomas Martindale
ST., and Mrs. NJ. d. Edmonds.
Our new society is assured of the
co operation Of at least three strong
Musical organizations of the city" said
Mrs. Edmonds, chairman of the meet
ing. And our program will be a
broadly educational one, such as Mrs.
Toogood and our group have always
wanted the Philharmonic to have.
'But our attempts to make it SO
were frustrated by the German group.
This group has been devoting its time
to campaigning against us. For the
last week or so, committee of forty

ganda, has been electioneering by tele-
phone and motorcar. They have been
rounding up votes against us.

Yet?

some of them in our

But they are only a

besides, just at present,
one of said big win

q First of all, the pat

fresh woolens that have
the life of youth in their

all-wool quality of the
fabrics in them. We've
told you before that
we'd rather shut up

q And then the Mod
els. Our Mems Suits
