~
ALBANY, April 16.-Charges that
the Hylan administration will never
give New York City school teachers
the pay increases they ask unless leg
lslation makes it compulsory were made
here to-day by a delegation Of more
than 300 men and women. who said
they represented the parents of more
than 100000 New York City school
children.
The delegation told Governor Smith
and legislative leaders that the par
ents are against any compromise on
teachers salary increase question and
stand united behind the Lockwood Don
onue Dill IN its original form, provd-
ing for 40, 80 and 20 per cent in
creases.
They said these increases were neces-
sary to keep the teachers from quit
ting, and that as taxpayers they are
willing to stand for any added tax so
long as 1t insures against the break
down of the public schools system.
The delegation was composed of mem
bers of the United Parents Associa-
tlons, representing SIP schools.
Maurice J. McCarty, president of the
Washington Heights Civic Federation.
complained that it should be neces-
sary for the residents of New York
City to throw themselves on the mercy
of the Legislature to guarantee the
low the Harlem. He declared the hos
tility of the Hylan administration
toward the public school teachers made
mandatory legislation imperative.
Similar views were expressed by AS
semblyman Eberly Hutchinson, Repub-
lican, of Fulton, who is the iutroducer
of another teachers salary increase
bill.
Assemblyman Hutchinson's remarks,
with those of others, were made in the
Ways and Means Committees room in
delegation was heard while awaiting
Speaker Sweet, Senator Henry NJ. Sage,
of Albany, and other legislative lead
ers. Assemblyman William c.. Amos,
Republican, of New York, acted as
chairman of the meeting.
After meeting the legislative leaders
the delegation went to the executive
chamber, where it was received by the
Governor. He was told children must
have education, no matter what the
cost, and that the state must provide
for the carrying out of the 40. 80 and
20 per cent increase plan, even if it is
mills or make it mandatory for New
York City to pay the difference be-
tween the state quota and the original
increase program. Governor Smith ex-
planned that he would not be able to
break the precedent established by the
executives of the state and comment
on legislation still before the Legis-
lature. He gave them the assurance,
however, that everything will be done
TO satisfy the demands of the teachers
and the parents.
Senator Lockwood, in addressing the
delegation, said a hard fight had been
fought to obtain an agreement on the

of two mills would have been defeated

to limit the direct tax to one mill for

Next Years Plans
Laid in Beethoven
Associations Work
Enthusiastic Meeting Held;
Krehbiel's Version of
Composers Life To Be
Promoted in Publication

The Beethoven Association, which
during the season now ending, has had
a sort of tentative and experimental
organization, will continue its activ-
rites next year under the same title,
but apparently with a wider purpose
than that illustrated in the concerts
thus far given. This was decided at
the first annual dinner and business
meeting of its members, held night be-
fore last. The gathering, which in
Guided all the artists who have taken
part in the concerts, except those who
live in other cities, and many associ-
ate members, was in a mood to cele-
brate it's first triumph.
The members enthusiastically hailed
the founder of the organization, Har-
old Bauer, and pledged their services
for next year on the same unselfish
and idealistic lines heretofore followed.
The fact that the year 1920 is the hun
dred and iftieth anniversary of
beethoven's birth was the cause of
bringing the society into being, and
it was determined that at least one
OF the compositions of the great COM
poser should be played at every con-
cert next year, but that other master
WORKS worthy of association with his
music should be included in the pro-
grams
y. 6: Sonneck presented q plan for
the utilization of portion of the fund
which the concerts have yielded. 1t
was one that he and Mr.. Bauer had
elaborated, and was to apply the money
to promote the publication of the Eng
llsh version made by H. E. Krehbiel
of Thayer's Life of Beethoven" The
work will be offered as an appropriate
monument to Beethoven, and also to
the American author, Alexander Thay-
er, who unselfishly devoted fifty years
of his life to the creation of a biog-
raphy which has revolutionized the
worlds knowledge of the composer and
brought glory to American musical let
ters, though it has not yet been printed
IN the language in which it was writ
ten. The work, in three large volumes,
will be published under the auspices of
the association by world renowned
house as the outcome Of efforts begun
months ago, which have had the sym
pathetic cooperation of the present
owners of the copyright. Mr. Krehbiels
labors of revision, completion, transla-
ton and annexation consumed ten sum-
mers of his time, and had just been
completed in 1914, when the World War
occurred.
The proposition of Messrs.. Sonneck
and Bauer was approved by unani-
nous vote, Messrs. Stokowski, of Phil
adelphia, and Gabrilowitsch, of Detroit,
sending their enthusiastic approval by
letter. 1t also was voted at the meet
ing to encourage the establishment of
scholarships in music schools for play
ers of orchestral wind Instruments, of
which there is great dearth in Amer
lea. Readers of The Tribune may be
interested in the fact that the author
of the Beethoven biography was on the
staff of his paper some sixty years ago
and its continuator and reviser is to-

Wolff Conducts Own
Opera at Metropolitan
Freshness and Vivacity in the
Singing and Acting Are
Attributed to Him

There were two performances at
the Metropolitan Opera House yes
terday. A special representation Of
M. VOLTS "L'Oseau Bleu" in the
afternoon and the last subscription
performance of Eugene Onegin" in the
evening. M. Wolff conducted the per-
Torrance of his own work, and it was
probably his presence that preserved
the freshness and vivacity of the first
production in the singing and acting
of the performers.

The large and well known dlamins

Rossetti was equally clearly an artist,
putting feeling almost invariably first
among the qualities he sought to ex-

by him of Miss siddall are perfect in
the spacing of every part rs only
wonderful sense Of design and poetic
feeling could make them. Yet Rosset.i
was not without a strong sense Of

are masculine in quality, and those OF
