Theological Seminary
Has Tooth Anniversary
Bishop Tuttle of Missouri Out
lines Work of Episcopal
Institution Here

The Right Reverend Daniel Sylves-
ter Tuttle. bishop of Missouri, and
presiding bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in America, preached
the Thanksgiving service"
"The founding of the General The
illogical Seminary in 1919 was not the
only thing that made that year mem
orable in the annals of the church" ,"
he said, "as it was in that year that
the missionary expansion of the
church really began"
Eight missions were first established
in the middle states, Bishop Tuttlc said,
and these spread in 1925 to what was
then the Far West. The Women's Aux
iliary was not established until 1868.
The Tooth anniversary of the found
ing Of the General Theological Seminary
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
was celebrated yesterday in the Mem
oral Chapel of the institution on
Ninth Avenue between Twentieth and
Twentyirst Streets.

SOthern and Marlowe
10 Return to Stage
''Twelfth Night" "Taming of
the Shrew'' and ssHamlet'
To Be Their Vehicles

Playgoers received with satisfaction
yesterday the announcement that E. II.
Sothern and Julia Marlowe had recon-
sldered their retirement from the
stage, and, beginning next October,
would tour the country in "Twelfth
Night" "The Tanning of the Shrew"
The retirement of Mr.. Sothern and
MS wife was announced nearly five
years ago when Miss Marlowe was
stricken with a malady which physi-
cIans declared would keep her from
the stage permanently. However, her
health has been regained.
"We have selected the three plays
mentioned" said Mr.. sothern, "because s
they embody the romantic, the comic
ana the tragic, and the roles of Viola,
catherine and Ophelia give Miss
Marlowe her greatest opportunities
and widest range
The matter simply resolved itself
into this. There have been so many
affectionate calls for Miss Marlowe that
she now feels herself able to take IN
her task once more. When we left the
stage so suddenly it was sad to think
Jhat she was even unable to say good
by. And without Miss Marlowe beside
me felt unable to continue. Obstacles
now have been removed, she has come
into excellent health and we are f,lad
to know that it will not be long before
we are again before our friends"

Business Women Homes
Federation Aims at Erection of
Apartment Houses in all
Large Cities

Apartment houses exclusively for
business women are to be erected in all
large cities of the United States if
plans of the Federation of Professional
and Business Women are realized. The
question will be one of the first taken
up at the annual convention of the or
ganization in st. Louis on July IL

ing instinct of business women instead
of eliminating it, as business condi-
tions have a tendency to do" said Miss
Lena Madesin Phillips, executive sec
retary of the National Business Wom-
ems Committee, yesterday. eve are
working on practical plans for apart
ment houses for business women which
not only will provide them with the
necessary home atmosphere and con-
genial companionship which is needful
to their wellbeing, but will return
good interest on the investment"
Miss Phillips said the apartment
houses would not only make posible
housekeeping that lessons expenses for
the worker of moderate salary, but also
would provide for the higher salaried
professional women who desire more
pretentious surroundings.

Music
New Symphony Orchestra Gives
Another Concert, and With
New Conductor

The New Symphony Orchestra, that
mysterious organization which sud-
denly was born with a French con-
ductor, whose very name was un-
known to the great majority of con-
cert goers, and which, after q Single
pair of concerts, changed it's French
conductor for an Hungarian one, gave
ITS third concert last night at Car
negle Hall. Mr.. Varese having de-
parted, Mr.. Bodanzky took his place,
and it may we'll be doubted whether
there was single regret at the change
on the part of any in the audience.
With the change in conductors went
also an equally complete change in
policy, futuristic music giving way to
universal music, and because of this
there was likewise little lamentation.
In short, it was in every way a Jour-
ney from singularity to sanity.
Artur Bodanzky is remembered as
a symphonic conductor by his armira-
Die direction of the works OF Ernest
positions of the Swiss composer two
years ago, and also by several small
concerts given by the Society of the
Friends of Music. 1t is not, however.
too much to say that his real measure
was never taken until last night, when
he chose the Brahms First Symphony
for his piece de resistance.
Not many conductors can make
brahms exciting. yet this is precisely
what Mr. Bodanzky accomplished De-
spite the fact that his orchestra was
n IL.
least IN the brasses and the wood
winds, he gave reading of the sym-
phony OF great clarity and distinction,
IN the andante of exquisite poetic
beauty and in the finale of extraordi-
nary brllliancy. At the conclusion of
the symphony the audience called him
out again and again in thunderous ap-
plause. Though there were moments
IN the symphony when the slowness of
his tempt might be questioned, it was
none the less performance of a high
order, and gave rise to the hope that
we may hear Mr.. Bodanzky more often
IN the symphonic world.
The overture to the ''Benevenuto Gel
llnl' of Berlioz was equally finely
played, Mr.. Bondanzky bringing out
with gusto the works splendid sonori-
ties. Then came the Debussy Prelude
to "L'Apres Midi diem Faun," the
scherzo from Mendelssohn's "A Mid.
summer Nights Dream" music and the
overture to ''Tannhauser"
1t IS understood that Mr.. Bodanzky
is willing to remain with the orchestra
and to give few concerts next sea-
son after his labors end at the Metro
politan. 1t is certain that the lym-
phatic orchestra, which appeared un-
der Mr.. Varese's baton, has under Mr..
Bodanzl :, come to life, though it will
probably require a further purging be-
fore it gains the polish and finish
needed for a great metropolitan or
ganization. But Mr.. Bodanzky's band

Few Umbrellas Found
Under Free Price; Spec
taclcs Raise Question

Umbrellas costing more than 81 be-
came a luxury yesterday taxable at 10
ner cent of their price and it rained
shout s4.95 cents worth, according to
the estimates of haberdashers. who
really had nothing in any of the newer
shapes under $3.50.
To be sure the student of the luxury
tax law with taste for hairs splitting
might select an umbrella that was Or
namented, mounted or fitted with pre-
cious metal or imitation thereof. In
which case he had q perfect right to
declare to the haberdasher that such
an umbrella, falling within the articles
enumerated in paragraphs 2 or s, in
elusive, already had paid tax.
But after the student had gone to
all that trouble, perhaps even quoting
the list of articles enumerated in para
graphs 2 to S, inclusive, he was just
as likely as not to find that the haber-
dasher belonged to an antitaxation
society or was a metallurgist or else
lad studied the law himself and would
quote from Appendix X and explain
that this was sectional umbrella and
while the handle had paid a tax, the
cover, being of silk or fbrous imita-
ton thereof, had not, and ask, besides
was he buying this umbrella as work
of art or for utilitarian purposes.
A Dispute on Corsets
1t really was cheaper and more salts
factory to pay the s4.95 right off and
get satisfaction by listening to the
plant of the man or woman who had
to get new pair of glasses or corsets
or something. Both corsets and glasses
are among the disputed points in the
tax law.
The difficulty with corsets is-are
they underwear or aren't they under
wear? In one New England town one
dealer held that corsets were under
wear and taxable at 10 per cent if
costing more than So. while all the
other dealers were selling corsets as
a kind of intermediate garment and
tax free. At the request of the lone
dealer Lew Hahn, executive secretary
Of the National Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation, sent the following telegram
to Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue:
"As an indication of difficulties re-
callers face in attempting to admin
lister luxury tax, Section 904, without
specific Interpretation from you, may

chant. Acting on unofficial ruling of
your department, that corsets are tax
able as underwear. his store is col

city are selling corsets without col

able condition of unfair competition.

Soda Fountain Men
Meet To-day to Seek

The first meeting of the Soda Foun-

IS organizing sentiment to repeal the
luxury tax on their products, will be
held this afternoon at the Hotel Nc

Not all of the soda fountains in

sodas, ice cream and soft drinks went
INTO effect yesterday.
Several candy merchants in RrooL1vn
announced they would not charge the;r
customers the luxury tax. They viii
pay it themselves.
:, Aacsctoarding = to M. L. Morgenthau, of
the Marror Candy Company, it is the
intention of the law that the Gus
toner must pay the tax directly at the
time OF purchase. He quoted the fol-
loving Treasury Department ruling
sent from Washington by Commits
sioner Daniel c. Roper in support of

The tax on soft drinks, under Sec
ton $50 of the Revenue act of 1918,
is consumers tax which the statue
prescrlbes shall be collected from the
purchaser by the vender at the time
of the sale. The vender is merely the
instrumentality through which the tax
is to be collected. 1t is not levied on
the soft drink dealer.
Prohibits Profteering
GAS a matter of fact the dealer is
prohibited from using the tax as a
means of unduly increasing the price
and representing that such increase is
due to the tax. The price of the drink
and the tax are two separate things.
The purchaser pays for his drink to
the dealer and pays the tax to the
government through the dealer who
is accountable to the government for
the tax collected and for the collec-
ton of the tax"
Opponents of the tax yesterday
pointed out several Inconsistencies IN in
the law. Grape juice straight is not
taxed, but suffers if mixed with either
plain or carbonated water, they say.
Milk alone is duty free, but with an
egg in it is taxable. Hot soft drinks
are not taxed as yet, although identi-
cal with other taxable drinks except
III temperature, it is claimed
A flaw in the law was pointed out by
W. c. Watts, president of Lig-
getts.
Points to Discrimination
"The law does not tax ice cream
served at hotels or restaurants" said
Mr.. Watts. "There is the injustice of
that provision. The East Side young
ster, with nickel or less to spend for
a small soda or ice cream cone, must
pay one cent tax on each purchase,
which makes tax amounting to 25
per cent.
"On the other hand the man who can
really afford to pay a tax can go into
hotel and pay 40 cents for dish of
ice cream with his dinner and he is
not taxed at ALL"
