Howard w. Payne, who was killed
in a collision between the latter's
automobile and street car at 30th

and questioned several witnesses
about the efforts which Knode made
to stop the street car when he saw
the machine.

was off duty and riding on front
seat near Knode. testified that Knode
reversed his motor just before the
collision. He also stated that the
car was eoing about of 10 miles an
hour.
George E. Myers, another motorman,
who was a passenger on the street
car. said in his opinion the car was
going about fifteen miles an hour.

the tracks when. the collision Oc
CURED, the motorman said the left
front corner of the car seemed to
strike the machine near the front
wheels, indicating that the auto had
not reached the center of the track.
Measured From Marks.
sergt. John Roper of the seventh
precinct, who was on the street car.
testified that in his belief the trolley
was going about eighteen or twenty
miles an hour. He stated to the jury
that he measured 12S feet from the
marks where the car began to drag
the auto to the point where it
stopped.
Knode made the voluntary state
ment that he slowed up as usual when
he neared 30th street and rang his
bell several times. He said he saw
nothing coming and was drifting
across 30th street when the machine
suddenly came in sight.
Clayton B. Donaldson, driver of an
auto truck, testified taat he was COM
ing south on 30th street at about ten
miles an hour, and that he passed
Paynes machine before reaching
Dumbarton avenue. He said when he
crossed Dumbarton avenue the street
car was a considerable distance up the
track.

BIC D. c. ORCHESTRA
New Society Will Start Drive
for 10000 Members in
Washington.

Washington at last bids fair to take
its place among the large cities Of the
United States recognized as creative
musical centers. Methodically pursu-
ing carefully thought-out plans, the
Washington Philharmonic Society. a
newly formed organization Of music
lovers in the capital. has assembled
symphony orchestra of sixty-five
pieces, which plans to give thirty con-
certs during the coming season.
For more than a month this orches-
ira, under the leadership Of DR.. Helm
rich Hammer, has rehearsed in the
Knickerbocker Theater. The first
concert will be given in this theater
Thursday, October 2.
The plan upon which this society is
based is unique in the history of
Washington music. All residents of
the District are eligible for member
ship at the nominal dues Of one dollar
of the society, one gala mamoth
concert will be given each year in
some edifice sufficiently large to
house every one. If, however, the MEM
bership reaches large proportions, the
concert will be held in the Sylvan
Theater or possibly on the Ellipse.
Musicians Aid Undertaking.
The orchestra is composed of the
best of the city's union musicians,
who have enthusiastically given
themselves to the undertaking of
providing the capital with a playing
body comparable in every sense with
the New York Symphony Soclety's
orchestra, the Chicago Symptom or
the Boston Symphony. The remun-
Grafton allotted to the musicians will
be strictly according to equitable pro
rata distribution of proceeds and not
in the nature of fixed salaries.
The first campaign will be for a
membership of 10000. While this
seems a large number, it will be
noted readily that $4,000, the sum
represented by one-dollar member
ships will not cover the entire cost
of a series of thirty weekly concerts
| by an orchestra of sixty-five artists
and make the organization self-sus-
tanning through the year. Until the
creation of a substantial sinking
fund has been effected. an additional
source of income will be necessary
The success of the enterprise would
seem assured by the fact that 1t pos
Sesses none of the usual commercial
aspects which customarfly handicap
such projects. but. on the contrary,
represents complete cooperation be-
tween the city's finest musicians and
music lovers to provide Washington
with symphony orchestra of the
first rank.

William Jennings Bryan. who is in
Washington for a few days. is keenly
interested in the proposal for a great
conference here, in which labor and
capital and the public would be rep
resented, for the purpose of attempt
ing to bring about better under
standing and more harmonious rela-
tions between employer and employe.
Asked by reporter for The Star
for an expression of his views as to
how the relations between capital and
labor can be made more amicable,
Mr.. Bryan said:
The first necessity, of course. is
the spirit Of accommodation; that is.
a Willingness on the part of both
sides to reason together, with a view
to finding out what is right. The sec
ond is machinery prepared in advance
and ready to be used when an emer-
gency arises. 1t is difficult to i'm
provise machinery because of the
feeling engendered by a dispute be-
tween employer and employees. If the
machinery is prepared in advance and
ready for use the dispute generally
can be settled without the feeling
that is necessarily aroused when
each side has in mind the possibility

TINE delicate and fanciful art of
i L.afcadio Hearn is evident in
fantasies, a volume OF fugitive pieces
collected from the files of the New
Orleans Daily Item and the Times-Demo-
erat of the same city, which has recently
been added to the growing list of Hearn's
posthu1nas books. The fame of Hearn
(since his japanese wife's pathetic and
ingenious written memories, no one thinks
of calling him by any fuller name) will
not be materially added to by these short
pieces The prose is apt to be over rhe-
toricaI at times and lush with adjectives.
If they must be docketed under some Sin
huence," the work of Edgar Allan Poe
must serve. Most of them are concocted
in an atmosphere of weirdness and I'M
reality; dead women play large part in
EN-, and the profuse imagination of a
young man, dreamer and dabbler in
ancient literature, may be perceived
throughout.
In a letter to H. E. Krehbiel, written
in 1880, Hearn declared, II am conscious
they are only trivial, but / fancy that the
idea of the fantasies is artistic. They are
my impressions of the life Of New
Orleans. They are dreams of tropical
city. There is one twin-idea running
through them all-Love and Death. And
these figures embody the story of life here,
as it impresses me. hope to be able to
take trip to Mexico in the summer just
to obtain literary material, sun-paint,
tropical color, &c. These are tropical
iizc which are venomous, but they are
more beautiful than the frail and icy
wlite hlies of the north" Let us pause
at this beautiful sentence and observe it,
for it carries in no small measure the at
n,osphere Of tht fantasies.
Such titles as The Black Cupid, The
UBdying One, Aphrodits and the Kings
Prisoner, The Fountain Of Gold and
The Kings Story illustrate the themes
of these bits, most Of them but page or
two in length. Many of them may in all
truthfullness be labelled prose poems, for
they challenge comparisons with the prose

from their intrinsic literary value, not

They pass in dead silence, clad also in

him. A strange feeling of terror deseends
on the man and when he looks within
again at the corpse IT seems to be smiling,
.cynically, moekingly. That is, all there is
to it, but it is written with such power as
to make an unearthly picture within the
reader.
The majority of the pieces are in this
vein, although a few are hghtened with
