= real musician when Arvid Sam
ielsOn, pianist. director of the Au-
g8ustana college conservatory OF
music gave his wonderful recital
before an audience which COM
pletely filled the college chapel,
balcony and all. And from the
time he stepped on the platform to
give the opening number on his
program the huge crowd sat rapt
ID admiration of his complete mas
fery OF the art of piano playing.
Mr.. Samuelson has been at the To-
cal college for a number of years
now and has gained very envi-
able reputation as pianist in the
fri-cities as well as in many other
cities where he has given concerts
from time to time The one last
evening was the first given here
i in something over two years. and
6 he showed that during that time he
has made advancement in many
4 little details Of piano playing.
Mr.. Samuelson's program was
very varied, showing his ability to
play a variety of composition
styles. His playing is direct ano
clear, absolutely devoid Of florrid-
ness or flourish of any kind 1t is
this directness and ease which
which display to advantage his
wonderful ability. AS he played
number after number last nigh
he gained more and more favol
with the audience which was com
pletely satisfied with his playing
before he even started His tech
nique and expression are perfect
the kind which leaves his audience
with a completely satisfied feeling
as the number is ended. Two en-
cores were given by Mr.. Samuel
son, one following the group o
four Chopin numbers. when h
played another of the compositions
"Minuet Waltz" and at the end 0
the concert Schubert's Move
ment Musicale" -.
|. The first number was Concert Al
legro (Scarlatti-Godowske) an
the second Tombourin (Rameau
Godowsky}. Next Mr.. Samuelsol
played the Scotch Dance tBee
thoven- Busoni, and this was FOL
i lowed by the exceedingly diiiicul
Ballade, B Minor (LlsZO, whlc
was one of the most intricate mum
bers given, but was very master
fully played. This was followe
BY the four Chopin numbers an
the encore. and next came tn
Rachmoninoff Polka and the Ros
enthal Papillons. The Irish Re'
(Tschaikowsky-PabsU was prot
ably the best liked and the be'
rendered number. Those who hear
the concert are profuse in the
prajsc of the unusual program an
e. .husiastic over the future COZ
-erts which it is hoped Mr.. San
nelson will give very soon.

Senate to Inquire
Into Withdrawal
OF Grain Loans
Cronna Charges Action of
Federal Reserve Banks
Has Caused Artificial De-
preston in Price Scale

WASHINGTON, Feb. c.-1nvestiea-
ton of the extent to which Federal Re-
serve banks have withdrawn loans on
grain held in storage was ordered to-
: day by the Senate.
Chairman Gronna, of the Agricultural
Committee, who proposed the inquiry,
said the curtailing Of credit by the
banks had resulted in an artificial de-
preston of the price of grain. He
charged that "a situation was being
forced to move grain from the hands Of
the farmer and country elevators into
the larger centers."
Federal Reserve board officials said
that there had been no order to with
draw credits on grain or other necessi-
ties. In other quarters, however it was
said that the recent raising of the re-
discount rates at Federal Reserve CEN
ters would have the effect of curtail-
ing credits generally.
1t was explained that the increased
rates would result in a readjustment
by the banks of the amounts of credits
to their customers, and that such re-
oNJuSltiCuO iSCSSSdlll llN NOuIu dHcCC
customers who had borrowed on neces-
stiles held in storage. The increased
total of interest on their loans also
was expected to curtail the amount OF
loans customers would be able to carry,
it was said.
With these general reductions in Gre
dts it was expected that large quanti-
ties of goods now in storage on which
funds have been borrowed would have
to be placed on the market. Some Off
cials said reduction in costs of COM
modities thus forced on the market was
to be expected.
The Senate Committee on Banking
and currency will conduct the inquiry
ordered by the Senate.
Senator Gronna introduced another
resolution authorizing the Agricultural
Committee to investigate the railroad
freight car shortage and also "the re
ported wilful interference with success
full operation Of railroads under gov
ernment control by certain officials of
the United States Railroad Admins
tration.'
The Senator sought immediate con-
sideration of this resolution, but SEN
ator King, Democrat Utah, Objected
and il went over
