PRAISES.
CRA|G-DALAND !.
RECITAL
Singers Voice Is Warm and
coIorfuI; organist Is
Skilled, He Finds.
By WILLIAM MOORE.

Miss Meta Craig, one OF the
most popular sopranos, in Wash
ington, and George Daland, organist
and master of choristers at st.
Johns Episcopal Church, George
town, gave joint recital last night
in the Luther Place Memorial
Church, Fourteenth street and
Thomas circle.
Charles T. Ferry, organist-com-
poser, was to have appeared on the
suffering from an acute case Of
grippe. At the last moment Mr.
Daland was asked to substitute.
It is too had there were not more
present to hear the efforts of the
artists. Both soloists were in ex.
cellent form and demonstrated their
ability to the satisfaction of every
auditor.
Miss Craig has warm colorful
voice. Her diction is good and her
dramatic expression beyond re.
preach. That she is q keen student
of ecclesiastical music--to our mind,
the most beautiful and majestic
was apparent. She sang with
religious fervor, paying strict at
tention to the text as well as to the
score.
Miss Craig's program follows:
Recitative and aria from Bach's
Passion OF st. Matthew" Come
Ever Smiling Liberty" from
Handles Judas Maccabeus::' 'Al-
leluJa," Mozart; Hear Ye Isreal,"
from :::Elijah," by Mendelssohn: I'm
Dreams Heard the Angels" Faure;
''Mache Mich Seligmo Jesu," Becker,
assisted by members Of the Girl
Scout GIee Club under the direction
Of Esther Lnl1ins; die Allmacht,"
by Schubert; 20 Bona Patria," from
HoratiON Pafker's "HOra NovisSima, !"
and BE Of Good Comfort" from
Ruth, !" by CoWen.
Mr.. Daland played with musician
~ skill and understanding the fol-
lowing organ numbers:
Prelude and fugue on the name

Spell" from 'Parsifal," Wagner:
overture, Figaro" Mozart; by the
Waters Of Minnetonla," T. Lieur-
ance; Moment Musical" and MY

BANDITS FLYING TAXI
KILLS GIRL IN STREET

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Caught in
the path of a taxicab in which
four robbers were fleeing with a
1910 payroll, Alice Tooker, eight,
was run down and killed while
crossing the street in front Of her
home last night. Other pedestrians
barely missed being hit. The kill
ing of the child occurred about
seven minutes after the four had
robbed Frank Moran, a bookkeeper
for building material concern.
James O'Neill, leaving his home
saw the child's peril and shouted
to her. She looked up, saw the
approaching car, but gripped by
fear, remained motionless,
The machine struck the girl and
threw her crushed body into the
snow nearly thirty feet away. The
robbers, who apparently saw the
child's body flung aside, raced on.

Major Donovan said, "but a horse can
