SHONTS LEFT VALUED
COLLECTION OF Vl0LNS
Took Much Pleasure in Acquiring
Instruments in Trips Around
the World.

The inventory and appraisal OF per-
sonal belongings and furnishings In
his New York home and his country
place near Philadelphia, which Thco-
dore p. Shonts caused to be made
shortly before his death in September,
discloses that the late financier and
railroad magnate had q collection OF
rare violins, which dealers In musical
instruments say ranks among the
best in the country. The violins
which were kept in the New York
home, were the work of the leading
masters and are regarded as virtual
ly priceless.
From a source close to Mr.. Shonts
1t was learned that he took much
pleasure in acquiring these instru-
ments in his travels about the world.
When alone in his apartment he fTe-
quently played them for hours at a
time. Few even of his intimate
friends knew Of his musical talent.
Five of the more va liable vioitns
are mentioned specifically in the in
ventory, but the appraiser withheld
placing a value on them. The mar
ket value Of the collection Will BE-
made public after experts have ex-
amined them to determine the trans
fer tax. The oldest bears the mark
ing '"Nicolaus Amatus, Filius An
thony. decit ammo 1622."
Another Is inscribed "A Stradivar-
ius. Cremonia, 1715." A third is at
tributed to "Jacobus Stainer, in absum
prope Oenipontum, 1914" The inven-
tory says one of the collection was
made several centuries ago in the
workshop of Ludwig Neuner in Ber-
lin. The NTH instrument specifical-
ly mentioned is inscribed, ~. Delete

Charles Edward Russell has sent
The Times letter on behalf of the
Washington symphony Orchestra that
should help the public to view the
future Of this organization in the
light of its use to the community.
He writes: Washington is about
the only considerable city in the coun-
try that offers no chance for the peo-
pie to hear good music. 1t is an
abominable oversight. because good
music is an educational force of the
greatest value. There is enough
money, enough interest and enough
of population to warrant an orches-
ira and popular concerts. Why not
have them of Sunday afternoon in
the Central High School Auditorium?
Look at Minneapolisi Every Sun
day afternoon a magnificent concert
by one of the best orchestras of the
world, all built up by the determined
effort of a few men and women. I
remember when Oberhoffer began
with a handful Of scratch men play

as big as Washington"

At Ghent Is such a carlton, with
fifty-two bells, that have given Joy
to many thousands. This carillon
rang out that Christmas eve in 1914
when the treaty OF peace between
Great Britain and the United States
was signed, and, but for the outbreak
OF the great war. these same bells
would in 1914 have celebrated the
completion of q hundred years of un-
broken peace between the two great
English-speaking nations-a peace
that still obtains and has made them
brothers-in-arms for a greater world

A Definition,

A critic Of critics of music has ex-
pressed to the Times-in the manner
that usually falls without thou .:lt
into the waste-basket, that is, withou.
Signature criticism of a comment
on an amateur performance.
The Times wishes to define crit! ..
cism. There is an ethical "unwritteu
law" against professional criticism
OF amateurs. When these amateurs
tthe word means those who labor for
the love Of a cause) have done credit
able work. the credit is given; the
sins Of omission that would be noted
in professional performance, are
cast in the balance of our future
great expectations"
How to read criticism" is this:
Amateurs are valued for what they
accomplish. Criticism is only used in
a constructive way, and then not
on a professional basis.
And all criticism has within it much
of that much-to-be desired thing-ia
the hearer as well-and that is zap
probation"
To discern the message the artist
desires to convey is much more i'm
portant than picking out flaws Re.
Vealing flaws is helpful for the fu-
ture OF the art, in that is its real
reason for being.
