'CRUC|F|X|ON," BY
STA|NER, GIVEN AT
CALVARY Church

Last night the choir of Calvary
Methodist Church consisting of TWEEN
ty trained voices rendered Stainer's
Easter cantata, The Crucifixion," to
a large and appreciative audience.
This difficult piece of music was
Interpreted with sympathy and sin
cerity by 10th soloists and chorus.
Full justice was done to the rarely
beautiful harmonies of the piece and
10 the appealing message of the Eas-
terrible. The chorus Fling Wide the
Gates" should receive special men
ton as it was given in a swinging
forceful style worthy of praise. In
fact all the choruses reflected credit
on the leader, VIM. Morris Feldmeyer,
whose qualities as director were ex-
hibited in no uncertain manner.
The soloists were Messrs. w. NJ
Feldmeyer, W. f. Olivet, Joseph Will
son, W. F. Shenton and George Field
meyer. All we're in good voice and
sang their parts with sympathy and
understanding. The organist, Prof.
c. H. Rawlins, presided at the organ
and responded to the varying moods
of the piece with readiness and pre-
cision.
The only feature of the evening
which marred this otherwise smooth
performance was the sudden blanket
of darkness which descended upon
choir and audience when the cantata
was about half completed. However,
the choir and leader rose to the oc-
casion and concluded the cantata by
candle light with undiminished vigor
The Calvary Church choir may rest
assured that the success of its per-
Torrance warrants further efforts in
presenting music of this character.

CITY WAS IN ALMOST
TOTAL DARKNESS FOR
z HOURS LAST NIGHT
~

Trouble at the plant of the Potomac
Power Company. near Washington,
which supplies the electric energy for
the Washington, Baltimore and Anna
polls Electric Railways, and its sub
sidiary, the Annapolis Public Utilities
Company, caused a complete tieup OF
railway traffic, and threw Annapolis
hours last night. Fortunate were the
householders whose residences also
have gas connections, for they were
able to meet the resulting inconveni-
ence to large degree. Otherwise oil
lamps and candles had to be brought
into play.
The trouble began at S:45 o'clock
The several moving picture theatres
were hard nit. Happening in the
midst OF the evening exhibitions on
the screen. the houses suffered heavy
financial losses. The several theatres
were we'll crowded at the time. The
audiences, however, remained orderly
as soon as they became aware of the
trouble, and they also were mighty
patient, at least for a while. For 10
minutes or more the majority of them
remained in their seats, hoping that
the trouble would be overcome. Soon,
however, they began to leave, one, two
and three or more at a time, until
along about 10 o'clock, it became ap-
parent that rope was forlorn. Streets
of the city presented a grim spectacle
indeed, with only faint glows of light
from here and there, although lights
from automobiles relieved the situa-
ton to some extent. Electric fash
lights soon became popular, and many
pedestrians carried these to help
guide their way through the pitchy
darkness of some highways and by
ways.
1t was 10:45 o'clock before the
trouble had been rectified and lights
again flared forth Meanwhile, scores
of trolley cars were stalled on the
main branches of the W., B. & A. and
the Short Line division of the road.
The car which reached Annapolis at
:45 remained dead" at the intersec-
ton of West street and Church Circle.

GENERAL IDEA BACK
OF THE PAN-AMER|CAN
WOMAN'S CONFERENCE

| Many people are asking what CEN
trail idea is back of the PanAmer-
lean Conference of Women arranged
Iy the League of Women Voters which
opens in Baltimore next week and the
members of which will visit Anna
polls a week from Monday. In ex-
planning the reason for the calling OF
the Conference Mrs. Charles f. Eli
colt, state president of the League,
said:
The women OF those countries are
struggling with the same problems
as ourselves. Questions such as child
welfare. the problems of the women
in industry. traffic in women. the civil
status of women, are no longer ma
tional questions; they have become
international. concerning women all
over the world And the women who
are being sent to the Pan-AmericaI
Conference are women who have
been chosen for the interest they have
shown in these questions"
The women from the different coun
tries can learn things from one an
other and it is also hoped by the con.
ference to stimulate and strengthen
the feeling of neighhorliness between
the different countries of this cont
nent. The feeling is that if the womer
of these various countries understand
each other better. the nations they
represent will understand each other
better and international friendlines.
and peace will be more firmly estab
lished"
The purpose of the conference wa
defined in the formal call" ISSUED
by the National League of Womel
Voters which believes that "friendli
ness with our neighbor countries will
be stimulated and strengthened wheI
women from all parts of the West
orn Hemisphere come together TO-
sympathetic study OF their common
problems"
