BRILLIANT CONCERT
FOR GOODFELLOWS

Once more proving themselves must
clans of the most accomplished sort,
Angelo and Joseph Cortese delighted
their hearers at Monday nights benefit
concert for the Goodfellows fund. AS
sisting were Burl Grant, Mrs. J. L.
McRee ana Mrs. Frank Sturm, who
made the evening complete and ar
tistic success.
OF Angelo Corteses ability on the
harp little additional can be written.
He is an artist Of truly wonderful
technique whose understanding OF his
harp and whose personality enabled
him to render Monday night several
Hasselmans numbers in an irTeproach-
able manner. To his playing there was
a fire and verve that but seldom is
reached for Memphis audiences. his
offerings were all too short.
The assurance Of a master Is readily
seen in Joseph Cortese'S violin efforts.
Monday night he again gave evidence
of the finer touch of fluent fingers that
evidences his study under the greatest
- teachers. Especially in the rendi-
n Of the Rosary, as arranged by
hreisler, were his tones wonderfully
full and pure. Two interpretations of
Drdla numbers assured his evenings
success.
AsIttdUlN suIpl was tlAt pei
Torrance of Burl Grant He sang at
the outset ballard numbers, admirably
adapted to the blackface turn he at
tempted. Mr.. Grant sang in Il man.
ner that truly surprised his friends, dis
playing a feeling of alteration in his
love dltties and just enough of the
darkey in his coloring of his negro
ballad.
20, Holy Night" as given by Mrs.
Mckee with Angelo and Joseph Cortese
captivated the audience In especially
good voice, Mrs. Mckee reached the
upper notes with the ease and assur-
ance of an artist of understanding EX
traordinarily clear and bell like were
her thrilling notes in "VllanSlle."
As accOmpanist Mrs. Frank Sturm
instilled an eloquent most satisfying
feeling into her piano playing.
There is not a Goodfellow who does
not extend more than the ordinary
thanks to these artists for their con-
tributions.

Crecl Helper Thinks Reds Will

SEATTLE, Feb. 25.-"People OF Amer

have no fear OF the Bolshevik campaign
being waged throughout the world"
said Arthur Billiard. a representative OF
the United States Bureau of Public In
formation who was here to-day on his
way from Vladivostok to Washington.
"Bolshevism," he continued. "can
never thrive except in a state where the
people are pitHully oppressed and where
the masses have no other hope OF right
ing their wrongs"
Billiard upheld the testimony OF John
Reed. writer and Socialist, given re-
Gently before the Senate committee in
vestgating lawless propaganda that
there had been no massacres in Moscow
during Reeds stay.
Reed left Moscow early in 1919
said Mr.. Billiard. II was there several
months after his departure. He is right
In stating there were no massacres up
10 that time, but ] am convinced many
innocent persons were murdered later in

P. S. G. BOND FIGHT
ORDERED BY HYLAN
Burr Will Appeal Against De-
cision Restraining ST.
100000 Issue.

BY telegraph from Palm Beach Mayor
Hylan has directed Corporation Counsel
Burr TO take an appeal from the deci-
sion OF Justice Cropsey restraining the
city officials from Issuing $4.b00.000 In
corporate stock bonds TO pay past ex-
penses of the Public Service Commission
in constructing the subways. He takes
the attitude thd city cannot put such ex-
penses in its joint construction account
under the dual contracts unless they are
raised by long term bonds Justice Crop
sey held with counsel for the Citizens
Union this was a fallacious argument.
and that revenue bonds, later repaid out
OF budget moneys, may be used for this
purpose.
"If this decision is allowed to stand"
said the Mayor in his despatch to the
Corporation Counsel. at will compel the
taxpayers of tho city OF New York to
pay between ten and twenty million dol
lars which should be charged against
subway construction and paid by those
receiving the benefit therefrom. This de-
cison places a great burden upon the
Taxpayers of the city who are already
overburdened with taxes"
An appeal will be promptly prosecuted,
the Corporation Counsel said last night.
THE policy and requirements of that
act contemplate that such expenses
should be financed out OF the proceeds
Of long term securities" Mr.. Burr added,
"just as the cost OF the materials which
go into the physical structure OF the sub
