DEDICATE NEW ORGAN
Prof. Pietro A. Yon Gives Recital at
Cathedral

The public dedication of the new
organ in the Cathedral of IS. Peter
and Paul in Logan Square. took place
last evening in the form Of a recital by
Pietro A. Yon, the well-known New
York organist.
The new organ was shown 70 be n
splendid instrument, with tonal
volume more than equal to filling the
large auditorium in which it stands.
but with also delicate voicing In all
the registers. II is thoroughly modern
in its entire equipment and is unqucs-
tionably one Of the finest organs in the
United States.
Mr.. Yon is well known as one of
Americas most brilliant organists and
his program last evening was apparently
chosen with the purpose of showing the
full capabilities of the new instrument
as well as his own great technique and
knowledge of the organ. The feature
Of the program was the great G minor
fantasy and fugue of Bach. gigantic
work, which for two centuries has stood
as the greatest piece of fugal compost
ton in the world. as well as one of the
most sublime expressions of organ
writing. The other extended compost =
tion was the second sonata by Don G.
Pagclla, relatively little known work
here. but one OF much charm and finely
played by Mr.. Yon. In this composition
Mr.. Yon showed to much better ad-
vantage as an organist than in the great
Bach number. Other and shorter mum
bers were lullaby in the French style
by I1ngerer. Cesar Franck's Piece
Heroque and delightful Ave Maria by
Bossi. leader of modern Italian organ
composers and organist at St. Cecilia
in Rome.
Mr.. Yon concluded the program with
three compositions of his own, Echo. +"
the Second Concert Study and the
American Rhapsody, all of which have
been heard in Philadelphia before. but
which last evening had an unusually
authoritative performance at the hands
Of the composer. The first is skillful
piece of composition in the form Of n
double canon but one which when played
we'll is as. of course. Mr.. Yon played it
last evening, is admirably adapted to
show the registration possibilities of an
organ. The concert study is largely
technical. as are all "studies.' but the
American Rhapsody savors rather Of the
concert room than of the church.

LEGION ACTS TODAY
ON Stacker LISTS.
Protest Against Publication
Will Be Presented by Major W.
G. Murdoch in New York
NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETS

The National Council OF the Amcri-
can Legion viii meet today in New
York TO take action on the question OF
the publication Of the "slacker lists
A strong protest against the publica :
ton Of the lists, which already have
been shown to be honeycombcd with
errors in the sections published In New
York, Delaware ana Illinois. will be
presented by the Council by Major w.
G. Murdock. State adjutant of the lae-
gion in Pennsylvania, who during the
war was chief draft executive for Penn
sylvania.
It was Major Murdock's outspoken
objection to the lists as they stand to-
day, as first presented by Colonel George
Nox Mccain in the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER last week, that brought the
plan for official action by the Legion:
Colonel Frederick w. Galbraith, Jr.'

eyaded service should have his name
published. But it is certainly not right,
fair nor just that men VINO volunteered

should have their names published as
draft evaders or dcserters.
"The real slackers in the present in
stance are the Government officials who
are trying to make a desk job out oi
the compilation of the Stacker lists. They
should get out in the field and investi
gate the cases, and then the lists would
be about as near authentic as possible,

Many Of those men, he said, were the
real heroes of the war and several gave
their lives for the cause.
Investigation would have cleared VI
their records so far as the lists are con
cerned, the Major said, and would have
given the Government officials an OPP
portunity to escape the multitude oI
mistakes that followed the compilation
of the lists that we're sent to newspapers
