BARRE PROTESTS
HIGHER RATE
Continued from first page

Wardlaw remarked that the Central
desired to be liberal with its men and
added that the present wage scales
would be ridiculous if they were not
SO serious.
Chairman McCauley at the opening
said that I'VE wouldn't be here if the
railroads could deal with their labor
instead of being held to the national
agreement" He gave it as his opin-
ion that if any other method of relief
other than the rate increase could be
found it should be taken advantage Of
He paid his compliments to the men
who can run every business except
their own" who are criticizing the
management of the railroads, saying
that it was his belief that the roads
were well managed by capable Off
cials who would not be faced by the
present situation il they could have
free hand. Their hands are tied by
the legacies handed down from federal
control, he said, pointing out that the
roads of New England are paying out
$ll0 for operating expense out Of
every dollar received from any eand
all sources.

made from a photograph taken at Sara
toga Springs during the national G. A,

| the portrait is q story from Pontiac,
Mich, stating that Mrs Lucinda Col

port, recently discovered family records
establishing the drummer's birth as Dc
tober. 1851, instead of 1885, making
him just under 10 when he enlisted in
August, 1891, as a drummer. instead of
a year older as the military records in
dictate In other words, Mr.. Davenport,
who celebrated his 10th anniversary
last fall, really was only 60 at that
time. Thus his claim TO be the young
est survivor OF the Civil war becomes
less assailable than ever II ought to be
said, however, that even on the basis
of the military records nobody ever
has disputed Mr.. Davenport's claim
successfully. He recalls that when his
father, Captain David B, Davenport of

christ Commissioner of Licenses. to
whom he had sent memorandum OF
his findings. Following this District
Attorney Swami stated that he would
press the case to the quickest possible

'If he had discontinued perform

Concerts
THE PHILHARMONIC.

At the Philharmonic concert last
night in Carnegie Hall, Henry Eadley,
the society's associate conductor, ap-
peared for the first time this season and
led the orchestra in performance OF his
latest work-a tone poem entitled "The
Ocean, The composition takes its sug-
gestlon from Louis Anspacher's poem,
Ocean Ode" and according 70 Mr.. Gil
mans notes Mr.. Hadley has said he
drew only upon certain stanzas which
best suited his purpose. The score has
an introduction giving a recurring
theme of power. and three sections. in
turn picturing teInpests sea sprites and
the majestic calmness OF The ocean
throughout all time.
Mr. Hadley has written the music
with his usual skill in orchestration.
His subject is handled with power.
though at moments this becomes clogged
and detached in outline. His color pal
cite shows brilliant ingenuity as the
varying moods of the ocean during the
day, night and seasons are depicted.
All in all, the composition has some i'm
pressive passages. Mr.. Hadley con-
Quoted HIS poem with authority and it
was very warmly received. The num-
bers given under Mr.. Stransky's baton
were Abert's arrangement of Bachs
prelude, chorale and fugue, the "Sieg-
fried Idyi" Of Wagner and TschailSovs-
lsy's fifth symphony.
Miss Jeanne Laval. contralto. gave a
song recital yesterday afternoon in
Town Hall. This singer had been
heard here In choral concerts but not in
recital Her limitations proved to be
narrow. but within them she accom-
| plished something. With a voice OF
moderate range and little volume she
sang with taste. sentiment and gen.
orally intelligent use of her gifts. Some
| Of her singing of French songs had
grace and charm. She was heard by q
remarkably large audience. which ap-
parently had denuded all the neighbor-
ing florists shops.

nounced as cousin of the late Clara

Donzetti's Opera Serves for Her Second Appearance
Society at the Metropolitan.

For what the profession used to call
the second debut, Nine Galli-Curci
elected to impersonate the heroine OF
Donizettis Lucia di Lammermoor,' in
which she appeared at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening amid damon
strations of great gladness. The time
for writing essays on Lucia is past,
but in order that Justice may be done to
the art Of the pleasing singer OF last
evening we ought to remind ourselves
that this is not the tragic Bride OF
Lammermoor' created by tile genius of
Sir Walter Scott but a pale operate
shadow OF It, Many years ago Chorley
pierced its hollowness with his clever
pen. when he wrote:
The supernatural tone OF the legend
entirely taken away; the dance on the
bridal night with its ghastly Interrupt
ton. replaced by sickly scene of mad
ness such as occur by scores in every
Southern serious opera the funerel with
its one superfluous guest abolished to
make room for the long final scene so
cherished by tenors the character OF
Lady Ashton. affording such admirable
material for contrast, obliterated-here
are so many injuries to one of the most
iIONlbe tfHEiC tdlcS thiStiHS III amy
literature. It would be good deed TO
arrange Scott's novel anew, and anew
to set it,"
For Nine. Galli-Curci the Donizetti
emasculation Is most suitable. since she
is not a singer of tragic passions, but q
delightful cantatrice of polite opera
music. Last evening her voice was in
good condition, perhaps not quite SO
brilliant as it is at times, perhaps a
trifle dulled by the oppressive atmos-
pilere. but smooth and mellow through
out its range.
She was less nervous than on Monday
evening and consequently her breath
control was better. so that she was able
to sing some long, fluent phrases with
celightful facility. This was especially
noticeable in "Quando rapito" in the first
act and in the mellifluous measures oi
the famous "nad scene" There were
few lapses from the pitch and two OF
three shakes that sensitive ear coulo

NOW OUT OF DANGER
Pneumonia Sufferer Improves
Rapidly After Crisis.

Miss Marion Davies, motion picture
star. who is i'll of pneumonia. was re-
ported to be mucR improved last evc-
ming at her apartment, 331 Riverside
Drive. Her condition had been so Sc
rious the night before because OF the
unexpected turn in severe cold that
specialists were called in and her
parents, Magistrate and Mrs. Bernard
Douras, were summoned to her bedside.
After she passed an uncomfortable
night her condition took turn for the
better yesterday morning, and her
physicians felt that the crisis was past.
As the day went on her temperature
diminished. and by night she was
thought 10 be well on the road to
recovery.
