MAYOR CANNOT ACCEPT
-Greenberg's Resignation, Should He Decide to Give Up Post, Must Be
 Acted Upon by Common Council.

Should Prosecuting Attorney AL bert A. Greenberg decide to resign his position in view of the, charges now pending against him it will be necessary for the mayor to call the common council into session for it's acceptance. The mayor will not be in a position to accept the resigna- ton, the council having elected Green berg to the prosecutors post.
 If Greenberg does forward a notice of quitting, it is expected that the action will be taken before his case comes up in the superior court and since the hearing will be before the regular meeting of the council, 2 special session Ytll be necessitated.

This Statement Is Given Out After All Possible Phases Of Situation Are Discussed
Interstate Commission Likely to Hand Down Decisions in Pending Freight Rate Cases Very Soon.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-(By the Associat- ed Press) )-The prospective rail strike cannot be postponed, but it can be settled. This was the opinion of the big four brotherhood chiefs and the president of the switchmen's union after a conference this morning at which, it was learned, they had con sidered all possible phases of the situ ation as they may be presented at the meeting this afternoon with the U. s. Railroad Labor Board.
 Union Men Present
 Present at the union conference were Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the brotherhood of locomotive en- gineers; l.. E. Shepard president of the order of railway conductors; w. G.. Lee, president of the brotherhood Of railroad trafnmen; w. S. Carter, pres ident of the brotherhood of locomotive fremen and enginemen and T c. Cashen, president of the switchmen union of North America
 The Il standard" unions marked time today awaiting the outcome of the labor board meeting While few of their general chairmen met to dis cuss strike plans the, ma ajority crowded the hearing rooms of the labor board to see the Pennsylvania railroad cited for failure to obey the boards orders.
 Think Strike Certain
 Despite the optimism in brotherhood circles, J M. McGrath, vice-presiden of the railway employees department A. F. of L.. (the six federated shop crafts) declared before the labor board hearing in the Pennsylvania case began that-a strike seemed to him to be certain. The shop crafts have voted to strike but have not issued strike orders.
 Twenty two railroads have violated labor board decisions. McGrath said aaa th
 Tlae Penn yfvzz,an. through c. B Hisenian. general counsel presentei to the labor board a lengthy statemen signed by President Samuel Req set ting forth the roads reasons for re fusing to comply with the board: order and call a new election of en1 ployes committees.
 The board set aside pevious cleo. ton because the road allowed the mer to vote only as individuals while the federated shop crafts insisted thu name of their local should appear as committee
 MT. Rea's statement said that tn election raised the question whethe the employees representation plan de yeIoped by the road should be i'm paired and it's usefulness largely de stroyed by dealing with those wh advocated. a closed shop, the sympa thetic strike and limitation of outpu in framing rules governing operatio of the shops during federal control.

Richard Strauss Plays
His Songs at Concert
Composer Accompanies Eliza

Three Recitals

Richard Strauss ruled Yesterday
afternoon at the Town Hall in the first
of three 'intimate recitals" of his songs,
of which fifteen were sung to his ac-
compartment by Elisabeth Schumann,
soprano, who was the soloist of his
first metropolitan concert, before an
audience only moderate in size but
highly appreciative in manner. As be-
fore, Miss Schumann showed herself to
be qualified interpreter of DR..
Strauss's songs, and the program was
we'll adapted to her voice. 1t was not
always even, with some obscured tones
and lack of volume in its lower regis
ter. but came out with remarkable
clearness and purity in the high, sus-
tanned notes Of such songs as "Traum
aurch die Dammcrung" and "Freund-
liche Vision" which were encored;
"All Mein Gedanken" and "Wiegen-
lied" while repetition also was called
for in the more dramatic "Schlectes
Wetter"
DR.. Strauss played as an accompa-
INST, not as soloist, with light
touch always subordnated to the voice.

Philharmonic Gives
4 Notable Program
In Carnegie Hall
Rachmaninoff's Playing of
His Second Concerto and
Orchestra's Interpretation
of Strauss Music Pleases

The notably brilliant features of the
Philharmonic Society's concert in Car
negie Hall last night were the playing
by Mr. Rachmaninotf of his second Con-
certo for Pianoforte (in c minor, op.
1S), and by the orchestra OF Richard
Strauss's "Till Eulenspiegel." To hear
the latter performance the composer
sad come to the concert, and, after ac-
knewiedging the applause which greet
ed his music and him from MIR. Stran-
sky's box, he went upon the stage to
thank and felicitate the conductor and
his musicians, and again and again to
give the usual signs of appreciation for
honor bestowed.
Thanks to Mr.. Stransky and his
musician, the demonstration was not
perfunctory or undersigned. The de-
lightful humoresque was played with
splendid spirit, with nicer sense OF
humor indeed than Beethoven's JOY
ously, almost boisterously merry eighth
symphony. In this We could have
wished for fewer unaccountable
changes of tempo, especially in the
exposition of the principal subject of
the first movement, more incisiveness
of rhythm with trifie less speed
and more marked and elastic illustra-
ton of the Enthusiastically Bee
thovenian humor which :inds express
sion in the abrupt changes of nuance
IN the finale. But where there was so
much occasion for JOY it seems ehurl-
lsh to pick flaws in conductors read
ing.
In the solo performance of the piano
forte concerto and its accompaniment
there was unalloyed pleasure. Strong,
sinewy music this, with truly seraphic
fight in the slow movement. The con-
certo will be the central feature of
this afternoons concert in the same
room, but the symphony, the Strauss
piece a.-d the Italian caprice which
concluded the evening will be replaced
by Beethovens overture "Leonore No.
3" and Dvorak's symphony From the
New World II. E. X.

lmpersonation of Opium
Den Keeper Proves To Be
of Great Merit; Farrar Ia
Heard in s'La Navarraisc"

Antonio Scott sang the part Of
Chin fang, The opium den keeper. in
Leoni's 'Y'Oracolo" for the first time
this season at the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening. This impcrsona-
tion is perhaps the crowning achieve
ment in this excellent artists gallery
of operatic portraits. The opportuni-
ties for characterization that lie
within the role are developed to their
fullest extent, and his delineation of
Oriental villainy is even more striking
than the cynical sonsualism of his
Scarpia. His companions in familiar
roles included Miss Easton, Mr., Didur,
Mr.. Harold and Miss Quintina.
Another cperas equally colorful,
LA Navarraise," was the compano o,a
piece of the evening. Miss Farrar>
Anita shows her at her best. She sang
and acted with compelling sincerity
and dramatic power. Mr.. Rothier was
again an imposing Garrido. Mr., King
ston sang the part Of Aragul for the
first time, and contributed sympa-
thetic characterization to a generally
excellent performance.
