DAMROSCH ORCHESTRA
PLAYS AT CENTRAL HIGH

The New York Symphony Orchestra
under its conductor. Walter Damrosch.
opened it's second season of evening
concerts at the Central High School
last night under the auspices of the
Washington Society of the Fine Arts
The size and enthusiasm of the audience
seemed to indicate that this would
be a most successful series of con-
certs. Mr.. Damrosch, who is no
stranger to Washington and the Fine
Arts Society audiences, was given
an extremely cordial welcome. These
audiences contain persons of widely
different tastes, but music of the type
of that given last evening and so
skillfully and intelligently rendered
appeals to all.
The program was most interesting,
consisting of symphony No. in D."
Beethoven; AUX Etoiles," Duparc;
symphonic poem, The Spinning Wheel
of Omphale." Saint-Saens, and the
prelude and finale from Tristan and
Isolde" Wagner.
analysed by Mr.. Damrosch in his
inimitable way. The comprehensive
ness of his informal lecture and his
skill in playing orchestral scores on
the piano were an exquisite delight.
In this concert the orchestra showed
itself a virtuoso in the most refined
and classic music of the early Bee
thoven period and also in the bril-
liant and eloquent music of modern
times.
The next concert will be November
%. and the symphony will be "Pathe-
tiQue," by TschaikowSky.

U. S. SUGAR EQUALIZATION
BOARD PREPARES TO QUIT
Senator McNary Says It Will Be
Continued and Public Aided
by Legislation.

The United States Sugar Equaliza-
ton Board yesterday telegraphed
Senator McNary, republican. oregon,
in charge of the Senate sugar inves-
tigation, that it was preparing to
wind up it's activities" in view OF
inability to obtain sufficient sugar
from Cuba to warrant further gov
.rnment control.
In spite of the boards advices. Sen
ator McNary said the Senate would
proceed to enact legislation design
ed to aid the public in the sugar
shortage and also provide for con-
tinuation of the board, even should
the present members resign. A meet
ing of the Senate agricultural COM
mittee was called for tomorrow to
act on pending legislation.
Senator McNary said the sugar
boards plans evidently were due to
the committees refusal to enact legis-
lation to provide for licensing of
sugar refiners and dealers. The COM
mittee now plans, he said, to present
a bill continuing the board and
authorizing it to purchase Cuban
sugar.
