Evening of Mozart and Han
del Masterpieces Includes
Cregorian Numbers and
Spanish Church Chants
By H. E. Krehbiel

Moderation seems to be virtue
which is quite out of the reach Of Mr.
Kurt Schindler-at least in his admin
istration Of the artistic affairs of the
Schqla Cantorum. That organization
gave concert at Carnegie Hall last
night which, when IT was first an
nounced, invited glad and lively cxpec-
tatlon. 1t was surely a pious duty
and lovely one to awaken Mozart's,
Eequlem' from a sleep which mad en-
dared tor a quarter of century in
New York. 1t was a lnudable thing to
give hearing TO the "Ode for St.
CeclAas Day Of Handel, which, with
so many works Of that master. both
secular and religious, has been kept
has been set aside for the Christmas
tide
The two works might have filled an
evening agreeably and permitted pleas
ant fancjes to dwell OIL the fact that
Mozart COMPOSED the one and reor.
chestratcd the other, thus helpine to
keep II alive for modern concertgoers.
But this would not suffice Mr.. Schiu-
d!cr and the active spirits of the
Schola Cantorum. We must needs have
IN addition two Gregorian pieces, a
Spanish church chant and two move
ments of an organ concerto by Handel,
with the inevitable result that the i'm
preston Of one work was elfaced by
that which followed, as. to use an old
slmile, one nail drives out another.
The pieces intercalated between the
mass and the ode We're interesting in
their way, though the Gregorian chants
must have seemed out OF place to many.
The Spanish canticle, Rosa das
Rosns" (attributed 10 the thirteenth
century,, was justified as much as
could be under the circumstances by
its beauty of melody and the lovely
singing OF the solo by Merle Alcock:
why, with an organ accompaniment, it
should have been thought necessary
also to hum the harmonies, we cannot
understand. This bonchc fer,nee bust
ness is rapidly becoming an atfliction
The proper function OF the human
voice, 1t seems to us, is 70 utter speech, l.,
not to initiate Instruments incanable
Of articulation
The movements of the organ concerto
we're made 70 take TIE place Of the
overture to the ode, it is to be pre-
snmed, because the society had at its
scryice tho excellent Mr.. Bonnet, whose
deft manipulation made even an organ
which was never designed for solo
F'ayl"S sloqd"Ht. Hande! ode was
generously abbreviated, probably to its
advantage, for though it has music in
II which is bright, spirited ard telling,
and some OF those lofty inspirations
which led Mozart to say that when hs
wished Handel could "strikc like
thunderbolt.' is yet quite the most
archaic composition which the present
generation OF New Workers has heard.
The high lights in It's performance
were supplied the singing Of Mabel
Garrison, as those Of the mass were
by that of Florence Hinkle which was
exquisite in tona and finish---a model
of the sustained style. The chorus
put good work to its credit in both
works, but the orchestra. sluggish in
the bassas and untunaful in the wood
wind section. was far from commend
able.

WIDOW AIDED BY H. C. OF L
Jersey Court Rules Low Value OF
Dollar LeaaIizes Judqment

Trenton. June 12.-Taking judicial
notice Of the purchasing power Of the
dollar today and concluding that the
verdict was not excessive, Justice Min
turn in an opinion filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday upheld judgment of
$4,000 recovered by Mrs. Elizabeth
Bowes, of PaSsaic. against the Public
Service Railway Co. for the death of
her. husband Robert Bowes. who was
killed by one of the company's cars.
The only question urged by the COM
pany fer reversal of the verdict was
as to the alleged excessiveness of. the
damages. The court shows that by
reason of Bowes's death, his wife and
two children were deprived of their
visible means of support, and that the
word excessive" has relative mean
ing.
what may be deemed excessive in
one environment and social order may
be inadequate compensation in an
other said Justice Mnturn. "At a
period when the purchasing power of the
dollar has in the league of the day been
cut in half the value of the sum
awarded here is not to be estimated in
the numerical quantum of the recon-
pense. but in its comparative ability to
furnish the necessities of life. OF these
facts the court must take judicial no
tice."

Patrolman Discovers Four Men
Attempting to Enter Store at
Eighth and Moore Streets
ONE MAY BE WOUNDED

Four robbers with motortruck at
tempted to force entrance into a dry
goods store near Eighth and Moore
streets this morning but were driven off
after n fight with the police of the
Moyamensing avenue and Dickinson
street station. -
Several shots we're exchanged by the

One of the thieves fell forward during
the shooting and is believed to have
been wounded.
The police have good descriptions Of
the men and the truck. A close watch
is being kept on all hospitals in the
event that the man believed to have been
hit may apply for treatment
A patrolman noticed the truck going
along easily on Moore street. His sus-
picions were aroused by the action Of
the men. Two were stationed in the
rear OF the vehicle and two sat near the
steering wheel.
AT Eighth street the truck slowed
down. The men in the car jumped of
and stood beside II while the other two
approached the door of the store.
The patrolman fired his revolver.
which attracted two other patrolmen
and all three started after the thieves.
All four men opened fire on the police.
AS the engine Of the truck had been
Kept running, the. thieves started quick
ly down Eighth street. The patrolman
pursued until outdistanced by the fugi-
tives. The truck turned west on Mifflin
street.
The police believe the robbers arc
members of an organized gang of motor
truck thieves.
