Fine Technique of Parlow

Clarity of Her Performance in
Vieuxtemps's Concerto i'm
A Minor Notable

Kathleen Pariow gave her first violin
recital in several seasons yesterday af-
ternoon at Aeolian Hall. As ever her
brilliant technique was a source Of
admiration to her audience and her
playing went further in displaying ad-
dltional virtuosity. In Tartini's Sonata
in G minor (The DEVILS Trill), and in
Vieuxtemps's Concerto in A minor the
clarity Of her performance was admira-
Bile. Occasionally, however, her intona-
tlon was insecure, a fact which NAV
have been due to nervousness. As an
interpreter she was constantly sane.
somewhat impersonal, decidedly con-
ventional.
Her program included a Symphonic
Rhapsody in minor, Op 35, by A.
Waiter Kramer, an interesting compo-
sitlon in which ingenious use has been
made Of two traditional negro melo-
dies, Pm Troubled in Mind' and "Da
Lord Delivered Daniel" and shorter
pieces by Tschaikewsky -Auer, Castel-
nuovo- -Tedesco, Dont-Auer and Fernan-

PortAuthority's
PlanFavOred by
Civic Delegates
Explanation Made TO Staten
Islanders Omission of
Tunnel in Report Does
Not Mean Disapproval
Middle Belt Main Feature
Il Is Made Clear Manhattan
Problems Are Not Re-
garded as Solved Fully

The plan of the Port Of New York
Authority for the development of a
comprehensive traffic system for land
and water borne freight in the metro
politan district was submitted to rep
resentatives of l03 civic organizations
at meeting yesterday by Eugenius
81. Outerhridges chairman of the Port
Authority.
Over the objection Of some Staten
Islanders, who protested the omission
from the plan Of the proposed tunnel
across the Narrows to Bay Ridge, all
but four OF the 200 members OF the
advisory council present voted in favor
of a resolution approving the report
and recommending it's acceptance by
the bodies they represent.
Because of their peculiar complexity
the problems of Manhattan Island we're
not set down in the report as having
been solved, though it was announced
that the consultants had approved in
the main the suggestion for the auto
matte electric tunnel proposed by the
former bi-state commission. running
from New Jersey TO Manhattan. The
location Of this has not been decided
upon.
Middle Belt Chief Feature
The chief feature of the system, as
laid cut in the report, which covers
every part of the port, both in New
York and New Jersey. is middle
be lire connecting all of the rail
of the port with n tunnel across the
Upper Bay from Greenville, N. j., to
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. which in turn
connects with belt line reaching the
man iine of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railro ad, and through it
New Fnr ar4 hv wov OF Hsll Gate
Mr.. 0uterbridge told the Staten ISL
anders that the omission from the map
presented with the preliminary report
did not mean that the Port Authority
oppressed the Narrews tunnel On the
contrary. he said, it probably would be
included in the final rep rt as a PROF
by the city. The Port Authority's re-
port, he pointed out, had to do only
with New York-New Jersey improve
ments not already provided for.
Eighteen belt lines and marginal
,railrs ads are proposed as feeders or
carriers for the. essential Upper Bay
tunnel recommended in the report The
plan provides that the Jersey north
and south lines along the Hudson be
kept back far enough from the river
so as not to interfere with traffic on
and about the piers FOR ocean vessels.
Same Idea for Manhattan
The same plan will be followed in
Manhattan. Bayonne and Fort Lee are
the termini of a marginal road con-
solidating four now existing water

Hirshfield Is Informed

David Htrshfield, Commissioner Of
Accounts, yesterday resumed an inves-
tigation Of the Board Of Standards and
Appeals. which was dropped in 1918.
John P. Leo, who recently resigned as
Commissioner Of Street Cleaning be-
cause he objected to one of Commits
sioner Hirshfeld's investigations Of
that department, was chairman Of the
Board of Standards and Appeals from
1918 to 1921.
Commissioner Hirshfeld at yester-
days hearing sought to show through
several witnesses that during the time
that Mr.. Leo was chairman Of the board
certain architects were favored when
making appeals to the board from ruI-
ings Of borough superintendents Of
buildings and the Fire Department, rsl-
ative to petitions for the erection Of
garages and other structures in re-
stricted business or residential sections.
John H. Schreier, a member of tbs
governing board of the New York So
ciety Of Architects, testified that he
was told the board favored an appeal
of an architect employed by the con-
tracing firm of Smith & Leo, of which

What irritated Varchetta most of ali,

invite Miss Casey's interest. but that
after his mothers death she came down
to his porch every night and told him
that he vas lonesome and that she
was going to be company"
Don't be bashful,' she would say"
the man testified.
Varchetta's point was that he wasn't;
that he proposed marriage in due sea-
son, and that the impat ence mani
tested by him with the hatchet was
legitimate, considering the fact that he
had spent $1,000 on her which appar-
emily she had not appreciated.

SWIFT PRODUCE REVIEW

Egg receipts are aot large enough
to meet current needs and with light
reserve stocks in storage, prices con-
tinue at a high level. Any marked
increase in receipts will result in low
or prices i'll the larger consuming
markets.
Butter markets have declined dur
ing the week, resulting in lower
prices for butterfat throughout pro-
ducing sections. A larger amount of
butter is being manufactured each
week than during the corresponding
period last year. Fine quality butter
is in demand, while the poorer grades
are "draggy." An Improvement in the
quality of cream delivered to the
creameries would result in better
butter and a more generally favor
able situation.
Since our last review poultry prices
have been generally high, both in the
producing field and the consuming
centers. There has been some reac-
tion, however, toward the close of the
week, showing that prices cannot be
long sustained on too high hasis.
