SYMPHONY Society's Concert

Familiar and happy strains filled
Aeohan Hall at the Symphony Society's
concert for children yesterday morn

young as those whose gay bows bodied
ABOVE the backs of the seats, and all
SHARED In the consciousness that it is a
somewhat formidable occasion when a
@noie symphony concert is given just
Tor small folks. However, the kindly
gentleman with the little stick. who
came out and stood between The timor-
Gus ones and the rather terrifying ar
ray OF muslcia explained everything
ana inspired confidence. One could see
rlght away that he was all on the side
or the audience, and after that no one
was at all afraid.
He grew confidential and gave away all
sorts of secrets of, the violins, violas
ana vloloncellos, and the mysteries of
pl2zlcatl, and he made the French horn
come out into the light of day, and
Vhe triangle show that it is not always
thlng of mathematics, but is some
times the instrument that sounds like
fairy bells.
1t was yer. fine, too, to have inside
information about what the music
meant, so that one could hear the
water swlrllng around the rocks of
flngais Cave. and see in the embroid-
cries Of the violins in the Andante

graceful ladies of olden time treading

Then there was Mr.. Tinlot, the con-
cf,ertmaster, who played the air from
salnt-saens' "Deluge," and no doubt
many would have given his name a
dreadful American Recommendation if
Mr.. Damrosch had not given warning
that in the old country it was some
thing quite different and much more
musical. Every one liked Mr.. Tinlot's
playing.
At the end there was ballet music
from "Sylvia'--a waltz and a dance
played pizzicato (Which was very sim
pie to all who had paid careful atten-

that Bacchus was an old Greek god Of
vine, but warned his young hearers
that we are not allowed to worship him

Food in Vienna Scarce
Situation Compared to Imag-
inary One Here

BERNE, Jan. 10 (By The Associated
Press).-Vienna's situation to-day is
much like New York's would be if the
city were wholly dependent upon New
York and adjacent states for coal and
food, said Baron Leopold Helmet. Ger
man Austria's food commissioner, who
is here after conducting a food invcs-
tigation in Austria.
"Thc situation" he continued, "would
De comparable to that of London if
London were dependent upon England
alone and if Scotland and Wales were
eliminated. German Austria, with it's
barren mountains, is completely cut off
from sources Of supply since Hungary
and GalIcia have closed their frontiers. -
Baron Helmet told The Associated
Press that he wanted America and the
Entente nations to know thow kcenly
the Austrians appreciate the good
spirit and the sense of hclpfulness and
understanding that has been shown by
the international Food Commission in
dealing with the problem Of provision
ing starving countries.

brought it forward at concert
of the Symphony Society in the
New Theatre on November q, 1909, a
week after it had had its first per-
Torrance on this side Of the Atlantic

orchestration and also in rhythmical

cation of the spirit of Spanish music

Glinka, Tschaikoifsky, Bizet and Mas

Their pieces are palpable-things of
musical flesh and blood and bone and
muscle. Ravels rhapsodic suite is
sort of aural mirage, in which elements

Hippolito Lazaro Makes His
First Appearance of Season

Hippolito Lazaro, the Spanish tenor
made his first appearance of the seaso.

at once recognized that he possessed
voice of rare natural beauty, and ono
OF extraordinary brilliancc in the I'm.

less admirable, and sometimes he can.

He sang better yesterday than at anv
time last season. He showed preater
poise, freer emission of tone. and IN
general greater intelligence. The On

splendid effect In the first act h.
showed at times his old tendency Ia
shout and to let his emotion swami his
taste, but later he came to himself and
proved that he can be an artist when
he wants to be.
A most gratifying feature of the
afternoon was the singing of Nine.

than at any time this season or last
Three weeks ago the pessimists were
asserting that her voice was gone
forever. which proves again that pessi.

In the evening Henri Rabaud heard
his own "MaroufY from parterre box.

Stevens Student
Killed, Another
Hurt, in Baby Rush
Mt. Vernon Boy Is Trampled
to Death by Scrimnaging
Freshmen and Sophomore
Rivals; Faculty TO Act

One boy is dead and another is in
Christ Hospital, Hoboken, n. j., seri-
ously injured as result of a scrim-
mage between the students of the
freshman and sophomore classes at
Stevens Institute, Hoboken, yesterday.
The dead boy is Ludwig Eccle, seven
teen years old, of Mount Vernon, N.
y. James Towers, nineteen, of 839
West 178th Street, Manhattan, is in
the hospital. His body was severely
bruised and cut.
The scrimmage, called "baby rush ="
is an annual affair between the classes
and is an outgrowth of the cane rush
which was barred by the faculty some
years ago. This year the rush" was
held in the gymnasium
The rush" consisted Of placing a
stuffed dummy in the centre of the
gymnasium floor with the students of
the two classes lined up on opposite
sides of tie room. At a signal rush
was made for the dummy and the
struggle for its possession ensued.
In the height of the scrimmage Eccle
was thrown heavily to the floor. with
Towers on top of him AS the scrm-
mage passed to another part of the
hall it was seen that Eccle did not
move. The rush was stopped instantly
and the boy was carried into the dress
ing room.
Naval Surgeon Harry n. Scrota, who
was watching the rush, examined Eccle
and said that he had been instantly
killed. He gave acute dilation Of the
heart as the cause.
This is the first fatality resulting
from a college crush" in some time.
1t is the first in fact to take place in
any institution around New York since
the college authorities some years ago
abolished the rougher type of college
games. The institute faculty promises
supervision Of the students games as
the result of the tragedy.

Passion for Souvenirs Led
Observer to Borrow Rifle
and Go cover Top" With
Doughboys; Gassed Once

1t is small wonder that the Hun en-
tertained a wholesome respect for the
Yankee fighting man, when an airplane
observer will spend his day Of rest
going over the top with the doughboys
rather than in bending the elbow pleas
antly at some estaminet.
Such, however, was the story told by
Lieutenant Frazer Kolb, of the 1O4th
Aero Squadron, U. S. A. Lieutenant
Kolb, q grandson of the late Governor
Kolb, of Alabama. is from Montgomery,
Ala, and has received his honorable
discharge after twelve months of fight
ing.
Our squadron" said Lieutenant
Kolb yesterday, "was very close to the
trenches, as all the artillery observa
ton squadrons are. We used to go over
the lines for two days and then rest
one. Another fellow and l often went
up to the trenches-they we're seldom
more than four miles away-to look for
souvenirs.
1T just happened that l went up one
time when push was to be staged in
the ST. Mhiel sector | managed TO
borrow rifle and go over the top, too.
| sort of went along with the crowd
until Hun got in my way. 1t was the
first time | had ever killed a man that
l could see. l used the bayonet. He
was wearing an Iron Cross. Here it
is"
The lieutenant showed this trophy
with pride
Our desire to get souvenirs" he
continued, "led to two of us getting
gassed. Another observer and I went
up to what had once been small
French town. We thought the Ameri-
cans had taken it. 1t looked deserted
enough. We climbed up hill at the
end of the town. when 'Put-put- putt
and bullets began to fly all around u.s.
We turned and ran as hard as we
could. There was no stopping until we
reached a little ravine Here we
crouched for second to get our
breath. 1t was bad stop. There had
been gas attack, and some of the stuff
had collected in this low place AS
soon as we smelled it we moved on
But it had gotten into our lungs. We
reached the aerodrome all right, but
we were green and sick by the time we
got there. l went to hospital for only
four days, but the other chap was in
for three weeks"
Lieutenant Kolb spent seventy-five
hours over the lines. He shot down
two enemy planes, fell once in No
Mans Land, and another time ESCAPED
after being surrounded by seven hos
tile machines. On this occasion his
ship was riddled with bullets, which
tore the clothes of both himself and
/ his pilot. Yet neither one suffered a
scratch

Music
Notable Composition by the
Conductor of the Boston
Orchestra


The final concert of the Boston Or
chestra's third visit to New York in
this season was given in Carnegie Hall
yesterday afternoon. The music and
performance were varied and change
full, like Byron's dying dolphin
"whom each pang imbues
With a new color as it gasps away,
The last still loveliest"
Somewhat disappointing was the SYM
phony-Schumann's fourth--its trium-
plant progress clogged by the rude
and heavyfooted tempo of its jocose
movement. Also its colors were drab,
but for this the composer, not the
conductor, was to blame Brighter or
chcstral tints, although the theme was
somhrc, glowcd in NJ. Rabaud's "Noc-
turnal Procession" music new to US,
but prismatic hues flashed and
radiated from Ravel's Spanish
Rhapsody" to the confusion al
most of our senses. Then, at the last
came Beethoven's third "Leonore" over
ture, which in every respect like
THE setting sun, and music at the
close,
AS the last taste of sweets"
was the sweetest last. With music
like "Marouf" at the Opera House and
the symphonic poem which we heard
yesterday in the concert room, we must
needs give as large a need of our adj
mration to NJ. Rabaud the composer
as to M. Rabaud the conductor. A
larger need, indeed. for his creative
imagination seems capable of loftier
and more sustained flights than his re-
productive fancy. The "Nocturnal Pro
cesslon'' is profoundly beautiful piece
of music. With it NJ. Rabaud chal-
lenged comparison with List, who in
the first of his two Episodes from
Ienan's Faust" treated the same sub
Ject. The French composer will never
have need to regret the challenge.
Even the greatest devotees of List
among our conductors have systematic
cally passed his "Nachtlicher Tug" by
and contented themselves with its COM
panion, the socalled "Mephisto Waltz"
Yet the episode in Lenan's Faust"
