GABRIL0WITSCH OPENS|
THE RECITAL SEASON
Gives First Important Solo Per-
formance Of tho Season Before
Large Audience at Academy

Ossip Gabrilowitsch gave his first
piano recital Of the season at the Acad-
emy Of Music last evening. Orchestral
conducting has apparently. had no iii
effects upon Mr.. Gabrilowitscb's virtu-
osity as a pianist (he, is the conductor
Of the Detroit Orchestra), for he dis
played all the tonal beauty shI~h has
always been his greatest asset a. q per-
former without any evident loss In
technique, although his hours for prac-
tice must necessarily have been greatly
diminished. :.
The program which Mr.. Gabriio-
witsch chose was not one especially
designed to show him TO the best ad-
vantage MOI, ,sit must be said, was II of
as great interest as It might have been.
The Beethoven sonata, with which he
opened the concert (the one In b fat op.
less frequently played Of the earlier
the slow movement, where Mr. Gab>
rilowitsch's exquisite tone was used to
hne purpose and in the charming rondo
with which the sonata closes. In the
prelude, chorale, and fugue of Cesar
franck, which followed, the prelude and
me fugue were superb, especially the
former, although the tempo of the
chorale seemed to be a little fast.
1t was in the two Schumann numbers
that Mr.. Gabrilowitsch, rose to, his
Greatest heights Of the evening. These
we're the beautiful but seldom played
Arabesque and the spirited Novelette,
op; %. In these works the character
lstic poetic feeling Of Schumann was
clearly brought out with no loss Of the
eesign Of each composition. Tonal
eeauty, sentiment and intellect com.
able.
The final group was Of the Schubert
impromptu op. 142, in which there IL
more than a trace of the theme Of the
hosamunde ballet music and of the slow
movement Of the A minor string quar-
Ht, the brilliant but somewhat meretri.
cious rondo La Gate" of Weber and
TWO Chopin pieces, the D. fiat nocturne
and the tarantelle in. flat. All were
wei received, especially the Weber
number, AT the close of the concert
mr. Gsbrilowitsch played two encores,
tne audience refusing to leave without
nearing him again. D. 80

THE LABOR VOTE.

The possibility that Samuel Com pers may throw his influence against the Republicans for their refusal to adopt the sort of labor plank urged by him does not frighten the Re- publicans nor cheer the Democrats to any nppreciable extent. This is said without discounting in any de- gree the strength Of the labor vote and without belittling its importance.
 Samuel Gompers' power is waning, and the independence of abor is becoming more evident. Tn many in- stances Gompers has shown wisdom recently in hts attempted reassertion of leadership. but in many others his loss of strength has been in evidence. Members of tho laboring class will vote as they individually desire at the coming election if they have never done so before. Moreover they will vote as individuals for the individual. So beclouded are the political issues that the working man. becoming more and more the thinking man. will place more trust in the indi Niduai candidate thm he will in the party which presents him.
 The American Federation of I tbor. in convention In Montreal. is said to have made preparations to offer the support of organized labor to the Democrats if the lattar wifi accept labor's platform demands. Tho spe- ciai grievance of Gompers seems to ba the Republican determination to favor settlement of public utilities strikes by arbitration. IF there is one policy that will meet popular favor it is this. There Is little chance that the Democrats will take . position differing from the stand of the Republican party on this matter. Action by employees of pubic utilities s too deeply interwoven with the well

THE STORY OF swAsF,f.

 Swas<y is an abridgement of the oS hglish name swavesey. one of 1nSst y1r,. n, common 3fY,ss of Great H' is from H%s,511\wss.effoo,ss Island; naIHd, I, name Swto0e. gN,s' of Suae. with the aftSey me'tn.ng an island. The name swa"fe originally meant a person be- Nongfng 10 tribe of German people lSmed Suevi and mentioned by both Ga"ser and Tacitus. The surname S;vaScscy. sometimhs Pronounced s~cFejoy appears m the Domesday Book. Sometimes the is omitted from the second Syllable and some- times the letter replaces the ve.
 The names of Henry. Robert. Con- stance, Margaret, John and Andrew de Swav'Scy appear in connection With the sale of lands In Cambridge shire, England. at various dates be- tween 1272 and 1S47. The first of the name in America was John Swa- sey or Southold, l.. l.. 1850. One Joseph Swasey, probably son of John, settled a: Salem. Mass. about 1852. AL the very first the name was some times spelled Swasey, but the spelling was so carried us to show conclusive " that the Swaseys and Sweezeys were all of one family. I have a rec ord Of forty-hVc different spellings of the name. Southold, l.. l.. former " belonged to New Haven colony anu John Swasey was one of several who refused to take the oath of al- Ieglance thereto. but in 1860, it was certihcd that these men had taken the oath The Hon. William Fl. Se- ward Of New York, was a lineaI de- sccndant Of John Swasey. -a
 There are three United States post offices hy the name Swascy. thrse publications containing Swasey gene alogy and thirty-eight men of that name from Massachusetts served in the Revolutionary war.

THE sQBSERVER
THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE.
RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

While other cihes, notablyA the larger municipalities. have BeiS guarded against the intermiug Qi politics and health matters anfathe | meddling hy politicians in the busi. i ness of that important branch of the ] city government. it is Nnrent that | no such condition has d in New Britain nor will exist ghile cer-
 tain conditions phevaASk1fan .de- pertinent of the ~city gol cament, perhaps. have so many and 50 impor- tant changesAbeen made during khe Curtis administrationgas in the board of health commissioners. The resig- nation of Chairman Mortimer H. Camp, followed by the hurried exit of Drs. Bodley and Rocks from their commissionerships is now followed by tho resignation of First Sanita<y Inspector John Dolan who explains tRat under existing conditions it is me only course he can see.
 IL is a well known fact that In- spector Dolan was, and. .yetsa is, a strong QuigIcy constituent. Because of that fact close observers say, there has always existed a breach, real or imaginary, between the chief execu- tive and the inspector, which was not soothed when the mayor recently told Mir. -Dolan that he did not regard him u capable inspector. - q
 Whether the inspector objects to brand of criticism or whether he is Eesigning for other causes will not be- known until the special board meeting is heldg Thursday evening. It is known faos. However, that MT. Dolan has no other position in view and that he regrets very much leaving the health department.
 It is hinted in well-informed circles that the city official may reconsider his resignation, and. at the meeting Thursday evening; withdraw after he is given a hearing. Nr. Dolan's req son. it is said, in offering to quit the department is to determine whether the criticism is approved by the board of health or if that commis- sion is satisfied with his services.
 If the latter condition is true, he is expected to remain, provided he can have a reasonable degree of as- surance that the fact he is in the city's employ will not imply that he is to he the goat ot politicians.
 Because of the fact that he is. trained sanitary inspector and .shas the affairs of the department we'll in hand the board seems disposed 10 retain him. For that reason a spe- ciaI meetiurTill be held Thursday evening Infer with him.
 As a ect result Of the contro- versy. board has already gone on recYH as prcferrins him. and will request that Mayor Curtis turn over to that department any complaints

nothing of the comfort and conren- fence of the p pbiic. to admit or any other than a determination tS have such matters settled by arbitration. The people feel today that anything Hooking 10 prevention of strikes should be favored. Many working
 men take the same stand. Admitting that smjustice. is done them many times. conservative labor has enough faith in the new plans of the govern sment and in the generation of em- ployers that is showing q tendency to meet labor half way. to believe that such injustice may be done away with through the machinery provid- cd by the transportation aaw with out the necessity of interruption of the weekly wage. t-

The. same is true of the Sou End park.
 This has indeed been asbloody and sensational week in New Britain, with one murder and suicide. another.sui- eide. a probable child murder and suicide prevented by the timely ar rival of the police, and several brawls about the city in which the partici- pants were so badly beaten that medi- cal attention was required. Publicity of this sort is not what New Britain wants but it is but added indication that the old town is fast stepping out of the realm of the small town and into the realm of a big city. Time there was when a murder in New Britain would furnish a topic of con- vefsation for weeks and maybe months One instance in particular, noted in dancing over the "25 years ago. column was the famous Her rick baby murder case in which a man was accused of having drowned the child. of which he was said, to De the father, in Nhe old Lock Shep Pond, "A simple case of infanticide. as crim- inology is now recorded,. this sordia
