ARTIST CALLED COP
ToQUELL MUSICALE
Disturbed by Cellist and Pi-
anist in Apartment OF Mrs.
r. i. Wilson.

The question OF whether a musicale is
a disorderly noise will be argued this
afternoon before Magistrate Max Levine
in the West Side Court when Mrs. Rich
ard T. Wilson OF 100 West Fifty-seventh
street answers a summons alleging dis
orderly conduct.
The summons was obtained by Francis
Newton. an artist occupying quarters
directly below the studio apartment OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson. on the ground he
was disturbed BY the noise" of a musi-
cal evening in the Wilson home on
February 20. Mrs. Wilson. whose hus-
band is a son or the late Richard T.
Wilson. a broker, on that day gave a
dinner for a few friends and later others
came to hear a musical programme she
had arranged The soloists were Arturo
Bonucci. cellist, and Guido Agosti.
pianist.
About midnight the bell in the Wilson
apartment rang When the door was
opened two policemen appeared on the
threshold They informed Mrs. Wilson
a complaint had been made to the police
about the noise going on In her apart
ment Ii must stop Immediately. they
said The two bluecoats appeared to be
slightly puzzled. or impressed. when
they saw the gathering and went away
rather quickly. The guests did not dis
persc at once but the two official Wis
itors rather put A damper on the affair
Frank Pollock recited few recitations
in voice modulated to avoid disturb
ing the neighbors.
Mrs. Wilson considered the incident
ended and consequently was surprised
when she received the summons There
is as yet no actual charge of creating
disorder against her. a s the summons Is
merely an order 10 come to court so the
Magistrate may hear evidence tending to
prove that such a charge should be made
against her, and her defence.
In court this afternoon Mrs. Wilson
viii be represented by Lyttleton Fox OF
120 Broadway. Mr.. Fox did not appear
yesterday to think the law would deal
hard with his client.
Mrs. Wilson has a bad neahbor who
seems 70 dislike music; that Is all there
Is to IT," he said.

Assemblyman Duell. Republican, Of

An Avalanche of
New Books

nowadays is sliding on us daily,
Perhaps a book is the best
company we could have, for it
quiets US, rests us and con-
verses with US.
Other countries are far off,
but a book brings to us scenes,
habits and discloses to US in
formation that only travelling
people can get.
The silent doors of a book
open to us Oriental countries
and translate an unknown Ian
guage, giving US the joys and
woes, hopes and thoughts, am
bitions, struggles and failures
and the differences of govern
mcnt in contrast with our own.
Books arc still dear and can
not be otherwise until there is
more pulp to make paper and
its costs can be lowered; but
the publishers and binders
might meet the desire of the
public, which has for three
years accepted their high rates
but is now holding back, ex-
meeting reductions.

MADE NEAR CITY
PROMOTED BY CHAMBER OF

LOCAL MANUFACTURE IS
TO BE ADVOCATED

Being impressed Of the popularity
Of a newly devised boil weevil catcher
at Marietta and Gainesville, Secretary
Barron of the Chamber of Commerce
while at Marietta yesterday purchased
one of them for a demonstration TO
the farmers Of Carter county. In the
event of the instrument proving satis.
factory here, arrangements will be
made TO have some Of the local man
ufacturers make the same at cost
price for the farmers
The demonstration will be made at
one of the cotton plantations near
Ardmore in a few days. The Cham
Der of Commerce will make a sue
cessful promotion of the instrument
without profit, Mr.. Barron said.
Favorable comments were drawn
this morning by q number OF Arm
more men who inspected the instru-
ment, including j X. Pennington,
Carl Jones, Charles Rollins and JEFF
O'Brien. County Agent J. W. Simp-
kins expressed himself as being high
ly plea sod with the prospect of having
a prob bic means OF effectively cop
ing with the boil weevil.
The instroment is built in the form
of two sect iron walls about two
and a half feet high. These walls
are about a foot and a half apart and
are purposed to straddle the rows Of
cotton. AS the instrument is run
along the cotton row, several bafflers
or projecting pieces Of flexible sheet
iron brush against the cotton plant
and shake the insects from them.
The weevil falls into two long mar
raw pans at the bottom OF the walls
which are filled with oil.
Practical demonstrations At Mari
eta and Gainesville are said to have
caught thousands Of the weevil on
the plants. The weevil are burned
in the oil after the operation. Nu-
merous farmers are now using the
instrument in the vicinity Of these
two cities.
In the event OF the farmers here
approving of the instrument Mr.. Bar
