BOSTON SYMPHONY
GIVES 4TH CONCERT

The Boston symphony Orchestra,
Pierre Monteux, conducting, played
the fourth concert of the season
yesterday afternoon at the National
Theater under the management of
Mrs. Wilson Green, with Fritz Kreis-
Ter as soloist.
The program was opened with the
overture to Mozart's Magic Flute"
which was played in a manner that
gave the feeling that the impression
created at the last visit of the or
chestra was to be a permanent one.
Mr.. Monteux's reading of the SYM
phony, Schubert's Unfinished"
created somewhat of a surprise.
The tempos chosen were decidedly
andante and adagio rather than
allegro and andante con motto. That
this was felt by the audience was
noticeable by their reception of the
rendition. In the Wagner Tristan
and Isolde" coming after the violin
concerto, very decided anti-climax
could be felt, the whole selection
being played SLOW and anguish
ingly." the passion of the love-death
motif being absolutely lacking.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Kreisler
was heard with the Symphony So
city, OIL new nOrk, at Whlcn time
he played the great Beethoven con-
certo which gave him the oppor-
tunity to display his marvellous
technie- Yesterday afternoon he
chose the Viotti Concerto in A
Minor, and he could not have chosen
more wisely. 1t is in this type of
composition, with its lovely melodies
and intricate lace work. that he
stands out above all other vIolin1sts
of the present day. In the adagio
he played with majesty and
spirituality which has not been
equalled in Washington since Ysaye
was at the height of his power.
His work was emphasized in this
particular by the. accompaniment.
At the close of this movement, after
the cadenza, Mr.. Monteux entered
the orchestra in a manner that made
1t felt rather than heard. A. w. H.

COMMISSIONERS
FAVOR MINERS RAISE

At least two Of President Wilson's
coal commission of three members are
on record as in favor Of higher wages
for the bituminous coal miners.
This fact developed yesterday during
the bearing on wages, when John l.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
workers. read letters written in 1918
to DR.. Garfield, Federal Fuel Admin
lstrator, by Rembrandt Peale and
John p. White, both members Of the
present commission. In which they
urged the necessity for increases.
The nationwide coal strike would
never have occurred. Mr.. Lewis said.
had DR.. Garfield needed the advice
given in the letters. Both White and
Peale warned. DIR. Garfield the policy
OF paying bonuses would result in a
general demand-for higher wages.
Upon the presentation Of these de-
mands, and their refusal by, the op-
orators, the strike was precipitated,
Mr.. Lewis added.

date of the Bryn Mawr $4,000, 900

ment by Mrs. F. Louis Slade, ma

An appeal to raise the endowment

other. While standing in the hotel
lobby, each was handed a letter
written in invisible ink. which
medium. il was stated. Read had

As they compared notes the men
found themselves in the predica-

witness for the prosecution
He declared he had known Read
for years and was unaware of any
