The Beethoven Association began its
fourth season of six subscription con-
certs last evening in Aeolian Hail. The
artists who gave their services for this
entertainment were Ernest Hutcheson
and Josef Lhevinne. pianists; Felix
Salmond, the English celiist; Georges

consisted of the Brahms clarinet trio.

and Grisez. Beethoven's c major So

Rogers quintet for clarinet and strings.
Mr.. Grisez and the Vending musicians.
The Beethoven Association is unique
In that Its entertainments could not
be presented under commercial condi-
tions. The fees of the assembled per-
formers would make the cost too great.
The musicians are volunteers who ap-
pear for the sake OF the cause which is
the artistic Interpretation OF MASTER
pieces, especially those Of Beethoven.
and the aid of certain artistic enter
prises.
Last evenings program was not one
Of the most uplifting that the associa-
ton has presented. The Brahms clar-
met trio is admitted even by his dis
ciples TO be one OF his least inspired
creations. or course 1t is character
istic. No one but Brahms could have
written 1t. Not even one OF his thousand
imitators could have approached IT,.
Yet is misses the supreme exaltation
which vitalizes the masters greater
chamber compositions and cannot keep
pace with the clarinet quintet made
also with Muehlfeld's tone and technic
in view.
Beethoven's "Waldstein" sonata is one
OF his most popular works and In IT'S
last movement ascends to celestial re-
gions but 1t has been hammered into
insensbility by so many heartless
panists that its charm exists now
chiefly for those who have seldom heard
it. The Roger quintet doubtless owed
its inclusion in the program to the
devotion OF the four musicians from
Germany, where Rogers efficiency in
composition building is accepted as evil
dence OF true greatness. Occasionally
he is an artist, but usually he is an
accomplished artisan.
However, the achievements of the
excellent musicians who volunteered for
last evenings concert were such as
to give much pleasure to a large au-
dience Of confirmed music lovers.
Nothing could have afforded more satis-
faction than the performance of the
trio.

MISS JONES GIVES RECITAL.

Miss Ethel Jones, mezzo contralto.
gave her first recital here yesterday in
Aeolian Hall. This singer. who comes
from Chicago. was heard by large and
discriminating audience. Her singing
was enjoyed. Her program was not OF
widest range. 1t began with modern
French songs. the first one being
"Cloches de Paques." by Tournemire; ;
Russian songs figured in the second
group, with Stravinsky's "Pastorale" !;
the third and fourth groups contained
English ands-American songs among the
latter being 1.-THE Sailor Wife," by Harry
Burleigh, and Go, Lovely Rose" which
Is dedicated to Miss Jones by Carol Rob-
inson. The singer was nervous at the
outset, but gained self-control later. Her
voice Is a good one, although not all of
her tones were perfectly free. Her Sc
lections had tendency toward monot-
ony, which her delivery shared to some
degree. But on the whole she was an
interesting artist. and in Fourdrain's
'L'Isba en- Flammes' and Scott's "The
Huckster'' she showed fine dramatic
ability. Leroy Shield played good ac-
compartments.

Deborah's Soul.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Ambas-

morous address to an English audience
would naturally be taken seriously.
though the subject given him. Have

Gus treatment. His persifiage. under
the guse of critical exegesis is amusing
and clever.
While his critics are citing instances

victory over the hosts Of Sisera she
added her own song. which Is one OF
the most beautiful passages in Hebrew

West Virginia's Strife Ends.

The so-called strike in the West
Virginia coal fields has at last been
called off. AS a matter Of fact real
strike was never on. Strike was
merely the name instigators of the
trouble chose to give to an effort to
coerce laboring men to join an organ
ization they did not want to join
and resolutely refused to join even
when such refusal carried imminent
peril of assassination.
That there were number of miners
who quit work at the behest OF
labor leaders is quite true. They
we're, however, an inconsiderable mi
nority of those actually engaged in
getting coal out of the mines. Dur
ing all this West Virginia disturbance
the coal miners with few Interrupt
tions were kept steadily at work. The
strikers were in evidence in vari-
Gus camps on the adjacent mountain
sides, while the real miners were
at work in the mines.
With the mountain tent camps as
a background sneaking warfare Of
assassination was kept up. Almost
daily American workingmen were
shot down by ambushed murderers
for venturing to exercise their right
as American citizens to earn living
at such employment and under such
conditions as we're to them satisfac-
tory Their homes were riddled and
the lives OF their wives and children
were imperiled by bullets from the
rifles Of rufTians skulking night and
Nay on the adjacent mountainsides.
This guerrilla warfare eliminated
in a pitched battle in broad day
light on the platform of the Mate
wan railroad station. The Mayor and
several citizens of that town, as well
as number of private detectives,
were killed. This was the prelimi-
nary to that reign OF terror which
continued uninterruptedly thereafter
until It's climax was reached in an
outbreak OF open rebellion against
State and Federal laws.
It was when the disturbance had

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 81. 1922.
This City and the Election.

A week before election the political
correspondents have come to the con-
clusion that it is up to the city of
New York to say who shall be the
next Governor of the State.
More than one million of the two
and one-half million votes of New
York State will be cast in this city.
Two years ago SMITH received 317,-
900 votes more than MILLER in the
city; but two years ago tremendous
vote was cast because it was Presi-
Dental year. The total vote for Gov
ernor in the five boroughs was 1,24O,-
600. This year it will be about
1920, 900. If MILLER and SMITH had
the relative strength this year that
they had in 1920 SMITHS plurality in
the city would be about 2S5.000.
But the two candidates have not
the same relative strength that they
had in 1920. MILLER was then po-
litical stranger to most Of the voters
of the State. SMITH, who had just
uUlSutu lWO yCdlo 90 pO'SihVit ''NS
at the height of his popularity.
Two years ago New York city knew
NATHAN l.. MILLER as distinguished
jurist and "an upstate man." Now
it knows him as a great Governor, a
very great Governor.
This city now knows Governor
MILLER as a State officer who has
been as alive to the problems of the
metropolis as il this city were his
home. 1t has seen him attack and
solve the puzzles Of our transporta-
tion and our port. 1t has seen him
cut down the State expenses, of which
New York city pays so large part.
Nobody expects Governor MILLER
to have a plurality over AL SMITH
in Greater New York. This is a
Democratic city except in national
elections. But does it seem likely
that SMITH can meet MILLER at the
Westchester border with more than
10000 plurality? 1t he cannot it is
wholly improbable that he will be
elected.

The Original of Hortense.
Dickens Attended the Trial Of Maria
Manning for Murder.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your cor
respondent r. NJ. S. Putnam asks details
of the case Of Maria Manning. who, with
her husband. was hanged In London No
vember IS, 1S49, for the murder Of Pat
rick O'Connor.
was very young at the time, but this
Manning trial distinctly remember be-
cause it created great public excitement.
The startling discovery of O'Connor's
body, the singularly base and cold
blooded treachery of the murderers, their
flight and concealment. the reported
beauty Of the murderess and the firm
ness and protestations of innocence by
both all tended to stimulate morbid GU
riosity. Everybody talked of the crime
and / recollect as schoolboy seeing
men carrying in London streets rudely
painted canvases on STATS on both sides
Of which were portraits and scenes and
incidents of the murder. the bearers
gathering harvest Of coppers by de-
scribing the crime in stentorian tones
to crowds at street corners.
When was law student, reading
for the English bar. this murder trial
was among the leading criminal cases
because important points of law were
involved, hence my familiarity with 1t.
Hortense, the French lady's maid In
Charles Dickens's "Bleak House." Is in
tended as a portrait of Maria Manning.
at whose trial Dickens was present and
whose broken English, impatient ges-
lures and volubility he has reproduced
with wonderful exactness. The story or
the crime is briefly as follows:
Maria Manning. whose maiden name
was De Roux, was native of French
Switzerland and was lady's maid TO
Lady Blantyre, daughter of the Ouch
ess of Sutherland. She married George
Frederick Manning, who had been a
railway guard--conductor--of the Great
Western Railway Company. Maria Man
ming had had love affair with one Pat
rick O'Connor, a thrifty and well TO do
gauger in the London Custom House.
Maning knew of their relations which
continued after the marriage, apparently
with his connivance. On the morning OF
August Q. 1s49. O'Connor went to the
London docks In performance or his
duties. At 4 O'Clock he left the docks, hav-
ing finished his days work. and by In
vitation went to the Mannings' to dine
Never afterward was he seen alive.
The MannIngs closed their house and
disappeared on August 13. IT was proved
that on August ii Mrs. Manning went
TO a stock brokers' office and changed a
hundred pound banknote which had been
owned by O'Connor.
on August II the police entered the
house and under the recently disturbed
tagged pavement of the kitchen was
found the body of O'Connor with bull
let in the brain and fractured skull
caused by repeated blows from hard
instrument. The crime had been care
fully premeditated. as a shovel and n
quantity of quicklime had been bought
by the Mannings n few days before the
murder. The woman was arrested In Scot
land, the man in the island Of Jersey.
They were tried at the Old Bailey
Sessions. on October 2B the jury. after
three quarters OF an hour deliberation.

High Taxes in England.

Lloyd George & Co. are great hands at

England owes a lot Of money. II a
good business man finds himself run

to practice retrenchment. The Geddes
committee in England pointed out sew

but what was the use when other means
of spending were speedily found? To

A Golden Leakage.
Invisible Transactions and Europe's
Ability to Pay War Debts.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: when
an individual or a nation cannot pay
the principal of an honest debt and can
pay the interest every fair motive COM
mands the principal to be secured and
the interest to be promptly paid (Mar-
shall. House of Delegates of Virginia,
January %. 1893. p. 90). This princi-
pie. which Marshall declared found con-
stitutional sanction and formed the
basis of the funded debt. furnishes USE
full criterion both as to the allied debt
situation and the reparations question.
Ability to pay is the first considera-
ton. America should estimate whether,
without reference to her tariff wall, she
Is not furnishing to Europe both prin-
cipal and interest by losses inherent in
invisible transactions such as lost ocean
freights and depreciation in purchases
of foreign exchange: whether the abil-
ity to pay Is not being directly created
as a present burden on American COM
merce. The question then resolves it
self into one Of whether this tremen-
dous annual loss does not overbalance
the cost to the taxpayer Of marking
OF European debts to the United States.
and to what degree may the loss through
invisible transactions be legislatively
corrected and the retention as surplus
wealth of the consequent saving made
to contribute to the reduction Of taxa
tion, particularly that incident to for
giving these war debts.
For decades this has been going on
and for decades 1t will continue unless
the facts are faced and the seams IN
the ship Of Americas commerce are
calked 1t is golden leakage which
must be turned inward toward the in
ternal self-sustaining economy Of this
country. JOSEPH WHITLA STrNsoN.
