BUILDING HERE
Members Of House Commit.
tee Would Spend Million
For Reserve System.

Construction in Washington of a
new building to house the Federal
Reserve system, at cost not to
exceed $1,000. 600. Is provided in an
amendment to the Federal, Reserve
act, reported favofabIy. yesterday by
the House Committee en- Banking
and Currency.
Funds will bo raised by assess
ments levied upon the twelve Fed
eral Reserve ranks the amendment
provides. While existing legislation
gives the board authority to assess
on the Federal Reserve banks as a
part of Its expenses the cost of
rented quarters. there Is doubt
whether tho authorization would
cover the. purchase of property or
the erection OF a building for. per-
manent quarters.
The board now occupies offices in
the Treasury Ter artmenL although
1t Is not buresu of the Treasury.

two classes of people who are very
proud who like to tell their age--
the very young and the very old"

VAUSE CHARMS
LARGE THRONG
With Other Artists at Their
Best, Recital at st. Peters
is Most Delightful Event.

The auditorium of st. Peters
Episcopal church was packed to the
doors and even the choir chairs and
aisles were flied with the many
friends and admirers of George
vause for his delightful recital
given there last night In which he
proved himself a complete master
of the organ.
lights were turned low and Mr..
vause began his first number, . SON.
alta in ID minor in three movements,
very difficult As well as beautiful. In
which Mr.. Vause at once convinced
all present Of his wonderful ability.
Mr.. Vause played several OF his
own compositions, all of which have
received glowing praise, and one
especially beautiful which he has
called Moonlight" Another Of his
numbers which was most pleasing
was "Nocturne in A nat" written
st. Peters church, Paul G.. Hanft.
in which Mr.. vause brought out the
delicate theme and beauty Of the
composition which was written for
the plano and later arranged for
the organ.
Mr.. vause was superb in his last
number, Christmas" introductions
variations and finale on "Adeste FL
deles," an extremely dinicult cons
position, written by his teacher,
CASTOR NJ. Dethier, a Belgian. Here
he showed his excellent pedal tech.
nique and knowledge Of the instru.
ment.
Mr.. vause has recently returned
from abroad, where he studied with
DR.. Darke Of the Royal College OF
Music and the influence Of the fors
eign schools were at once evident
in his playing. For many years he
has been loved and admired in this
city for his skill at the piano, but
last night he won a great many
more friends and admirers when he
appeared at his best as a supreme
master of the organ.
Madame Farrington-Smith was
most pleasing in her several num-
bers, although she sang under great
difficulties and was suffering from
a severe cold, She sang Care
Selve' Gin Italian) from Atlanta"
one of Handel's masterpieces, espe.
ciaily well and her last number Ave
Maria Gin Latin) with the violin
obligato played by Mrs. Lester
White, brought out the clear die.
ton of her pleasing soprano voice.
Mrs. Lester White, violinist, of
this city. as the other assisting 500
loist, appeared at her best at the
concert last night, and was par
ticularly charming when she played
that favorite B~eethoven's "Menuet"
producing lovely deep tones and de-
lighting the entire audience. She
also played a composition Of Mr..
Vause's Meditation" and several
more sprightly numbers.
A silver offering was taken UP foi
the hymnal fund and when the ex.
} penses. which were very small. srG
all paid the sum OF $50 will b
cleared forsthis worthy puuchase.
The large number OF pesSls who
took advantage Of the oppertnnity
to hear three such excellent artists
enjoyed the recital to its fullest ex'
tent and 1t Is hoped that this vii
be but the beginning Of q series Q
recitals by Mr.. Vause 80 that other
too may have the opportunity I
= = appreciate his great art.
