Walnut Breakfast-Room Set
Unusually Low in Price

A breakfast-room set
that may be used in the
country house or as a din
ing-room set in the small
apartment is of dull-fiu-
ished walnut, made on
lines that show a strong
Queen Anne influence.
For the informal type
of dining-room, the chairs,
with their rounding tops
and cut-out splat, are
charming. The buffet is
narrow and takes up very
little space. In the photo

Dohnanyi's Variations on
Nursery Air Heard Here

Emo Dohnanyi's "Varintions on n
Nursery Air" for piano and orchestra
was played here for the first time last
evening, with the composer as pianist,
at a concert by the National Symphony
Orchestra at Carnegie Hall
In Germany the air which serves as
a basis for the variations is sung to
the letters of the alphabet, also to
verses beginning Gwen die Kinder
schlafen gehcn" American children
sing the music to the rhymes "Baa-
Baa, Black Sheep" and Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star" Mr.. Dohnanyi's
setting is a fascinating work, delight
fully humorous, dcftly scored.
The opening is deceptive, dramatic,
with the brass in the ascendant. 1t
might be the beginning of an elaborate
symphonic poem. Then the theme is
sung with charming directness by the
solo instrument. The variations that
follow include amusing parodies of
Wagner, Tschaikowsky and Strauss,
who is represented by an engaging
waltz.
The work has the virtue of sincerity
as we'll as brilliance. The part al
lotted to the piano was superby played
by the composer, who received justly
deserved applause. The other num-
bers were Tschaikowskys overture
fantasia. Romeo and Juliet" and
Brahmss Symphony No. in c minor.

Popular Election Asked
For Transit Commission

Amendment of -he Knight-Adler bill
designed to carry out Governor Miller's
traction proposals so that the members
OF the transit commission, instead of
being appointed by the Governor,
woulC be elected by popular vote. was
urged by City Magistrate Bernard "a
Rosenblatt yesterday in a letter to AS
semblyman Owen Herman.
IF Lenine in Moscow were to take
away $50 from eacn resident of Petro-
grad without consulting the people of
Petrograd we would call it B Bolshevism,"
said Magistrate Rosenblatt. "Yet that
IS just what is proposed by the Knight
Adler bill. If my $50 is to be taken
from me in the shape Of three cents
extra fare each morning and evening,
at least I have right to have voice
in choosing the trustees over my
money.
Il beg of you to amend the proposed
bill so that the commi ssioners who are
t. control our public utilities shall be
elected by the people affected. The
Governor must accept the amendment
as an evidence of his interest in home
rule"
Judson G. Wall, vice-president of the
Prospect Heights Citizens Association,
yesterday issued a statement i'll sup
port of the Miller plan.
ne present clty administration has
done nothing to provide satisfactory
substitute for the service they have de-
hberately destroyed" he said. Their
dirty and disreputable busses and jt-
neys will never be accepted by the citi-
zens in lieu OF coordinated and COM
prehensive system of transportation.
New York demands a high-class
service and is prepared to pay all that
is necessary. 1t is willing to trust
Governor Millers experts to fix rate
that is fair to all concerned. Governor
Miller's plan not only releases the
brakes Of divided responsibility but
comedies that money as we'll as Drawn
is entitled to a living wage
"The word OF New York City should
be, and is, as good as its bond. It's
word was given by implication that the
operating corporations would be al
lowed to collect all that was necessary
to render a satisfactory service. There
was nothing in sight at that time to
require special stipulation to that ef-

Two Sunday Concerts
Twice Fill Hippodrome
Alma Cluck and Efrem Zim-

TOscanini i'm Evening

Two huge audiences filled the Hippo
dromc yesterday one in the afternoon
to hear the joint recital of Alma Gluck
and Efrem Zimbalist and the other in
the evening, when Mr.. Toscanini and
La Scala Orchestra furnished the at
traction. The orchestra's program was
without soloist, and was devoted to the
Leonore Overture and Seventh Sym
phony of Beethoven and selections
from the music dramas of Richard
Wagner.
Mr.. Toscanini's personality is mag
netic and one that surmounts diff
culties. In spite of conditions not the
most favorable for giving proper bal
ance or enhancing the quality of tone
produced by the band the unfaiing
verve and spontaneity of his readings
made them constantly effective, and
called forth tumultuous applause
The afternoons program was one of
songs by Haydn, Handel. Brahms, Zim-
balist, Hageman and others, sung by
Nine. Alma Gluck, and the Vcuxtemps
Concerto in minor and short numbers
played by Mr.. Zimbalist 1t closed
with a group of obligato songs, in
which the two artists were heard to-

Traction Bill
May Be Made
Party Measure
Caucuses Are Considered on
Miller Law and Direct
Primary Repeal: Plan Is
Favored by Governor
Bolt of Some Leaders Seen
Believe Car Measure Is Not
Up to Sponsors Standard;
Fight on Election Act
From a Stof Correspondent,

ALBANY, March 6.-Caucuses on
Governor Miller's traction bill and the
direct primary repeal measure are the
next two important events IN the leg
.slstive program. Without a caucus on
the latter it will be impossible to re-
store the convention system of picking
candidates for the state ticket and for
judicial Offices.
While caucus is not necessary to
put through the public utility bill.
there has been considerable pressure
brought to bear on the powers in con-
troll here to make il a party. measure.
so that the New York City representa-
tives who have signitied an intention
to vote for it may be able to plead that
they acted as partiSans when they are
up for reelection.
While upstate has more than enough
votes to put over the Governors trac-
ton measure. it is the desire Of the
leaders to have as much Of New York
City backing as possible when the final
vote is taken on the bill. 1t is an open
secret that the measure in it's present
shape does not achieve the STANDARD rds
which legislators had set for it after
reading the Governors message on trac-
tion and other public utility problems.
At the time OF the message there was
considerable more sentiment in New
York City for the bill, which had not
at that time been submitted to the Leg
islature, than there has been since its
Introduction.
Six Republicans Change Stand
month ago at least eight members
Of the delegation of sixteen Republi-
cans from New York City in the Assem-
bly, spoke favorably about the Govern
or's proposed measure. Now there are
only two Republican Assemblvmen from
Manhattan who are known to be for
the bill. They are Miss NJ. L. Smith
and Edward Z. Rayher. My one Re-
publican from Manhattan in the upper
house is openly for the bill. He is SEN
ator Schuyler NJ. Meyer.
Governor Miller has already gone on
record as favoring q caucus on trac-
tion, saying that while he would not
interfere with the Legislature, if he
were one OF the leaders of either house
he would not hesitate to make it a
party measure.
The cause of the change in sentiment
toward the traction program is two
fold. First is fear Of political death,
and second is the belief that the bill
does not come up 70 expectations ere
Ated by the Governors message.
The principal criticism Of the bill is
that it does not advance q plan for
solving the problem, but merely out
lines d method of procedure. Then
there are those who believe that this
plan Of procedure will be so waylad
with legal distractions that the road
Of the Transit Commission Will be a
rocky one.
The opponents of the measure out
side of the Legislature have served
New-York tribune., 1921-03-07

formal notice on the legislative lead
ers that the moment they can take tho
matter into the courts they will do 80
This is only one of the many obstac Gle q
which those in the Legislature who
would like to see something con-
structive done declare the Governors
program is certain to meet with.
Others who would like to vote for
some bill which would solve the trac-
tion situation in New York CITY say
that the bill in its present form is too
indefinite.
The bill to repeal the direct primary
law, in so far as it affected the state
ticket and nominations for the ju-
dietary. was ready for introduction
when the session met, but opposition
of New York City Republicans pre-
vented its introduction.
The special Commission on Election
Laws, made UP Of three Republicans
and two Democrats, had to have its life
extended last week for another month
because the New York City Republican
member Of the commission refused
point blank to sign the maj ority report,
which recommended the partial repeal
of the direct primary law.
The baking Republican, Assembly,
man James n. Caultield, Of Brooklyn,
has expressed regret at being forced
" eoNe tHc Stanu ne OlO, Dut declares
that 1t is unaltcrable, as he is a firm
believer not only in the retention of
the, direct primary. but in making it a
truly popular means of expression, in
stead OF contining it to an almost pure
~ organization affair. as at present.
Charges Leaders Broke Promise
Assemblyman Caulheld charged that
when the committee of which he is a
member was appointed at the last ses-
sion that he had been assured by tho
then Legislative leaders that the COM
mittee would only concern itself with
the revisions to the election law. so
as to make the corrupt practice sec
ton of the code more drastic and
effective.
:" The first thing knew of proposal
to jam through the direct primary re-
peal law was after the Saratoga con-
vention.' said Assemblyman Caulfeld.
"and from the very first have stood
out against putting the committee,
which was not created for any such
purpose, to such use"

Samples of Chinese Famine
Menu Exhibited in Hotels Here

Small blue "China bowls" have been
installed in hotels throughout New York
containing samples of the chaf, bark

the fund being raised to relieve it.
