PACIFIC 231

The New York Symphony orchestra played the new and novel orchestral composition, entitled Pacific 231," by Arthur Honegger, for the first time in America at recent concert. This work is attracting the attention of the public because of its novelty.
 Pacific 231 is locomotive, and what the composer says he wishes to exlNess is Not the noise of an engine, but the visual impression and physical sensa- tion of it." He must have succeeded well in doing this, for one New York patron of the concert found it so real istic that, as the highly descriptive puffing, hissing, whistling, and choo- choos came to an end, she rubbed her eye and exclaimed, I've got cinder."
 AT THE LITTLE THEATER
 Rehearsals for the Little Theater's next performance are progressing splen- ddly, and the "all-star" cast is doing excellent work. Everybody is anxious to see just how much of the wonder full historionic talent that one member of Children of Earth" Alice Browne's of his family possesses. belongs also to Junius Walthall, so the members of the Little Theater are anticipating eagerly the performance of Children of Earth" Alice Browne's clever play of New England life, in which Junius Wathall plays the role of Peter Hale
 His brother, Henry, as every body knows, is famous both on the legitimate stage and on the screen.

OF STRIKING ARCHITECTURE

The Alabama Power company des- cribes in "Powergrams" the handsome new building that it will erect, and which it proposes to make appealing to the artistic sense. While of thor oughly modern type and distinctly American, typifying modern American civilization, it will have characteristics of several periods of early architecture
 A frieze at the front will contain three sculptured figures symbolizing light, heat and power. At the roof gar den level there will be a massive deco rative frieze, made of vari-colored bricks and tiles, designed to blend in and harmonize with the wall face Floors will be of marble tiles, and there will be marble panels and pilasters.

 Berlin, May 1.-The lockout de- clared against the miners in the Ruhr valley yesterday which Is estimated to have made 300,U00 men idle was ex- tended today to Saxony because of the refusal of the workers in the Chem nitz and Zwickau districts to work more than eight hours.

 It is predicted that 100000 metal workers in the Ruhr region will be involved in the labor trouble by to- morrow. The occupation authorities have promised strict neutrality.
 Reports from the Ruhr are that the separatists and communists are taking advantage of the agitation and trying to enlist the dissatisfied work CTS for their respective causes.

TAMMANY ID NAME
 LEADER TOMORROW
Foley or OlYany Ikely--Hearst
 Has No Candidate

New York, May 1.-The executive committee of Tammany Hall will meet tomorrow afternoon to choose a leader to succeed theI ate Charles F. Mur- Dhy.
 The meeting was issued by Will Ham Allen, chairman, after an inter- change of opinion between a number of district leaders. Decision to issue an immediate call wa ssaid to have been caused in part by the widening gap between Mayor Hylan and the party wigwam. A solid front to rein force Governor Smiths presidential boom and to check the possibilities of ether aspirants for the chieftain's toga, also were said to have been causes.
 Members of the dominant group in the hall were reported still to have hope that Surrogate James A. Foley, son-in-law of MT. Murphy. would con- sent to take the leadership.
 If Foley refused definitely 10 take the place, it was understood his sup porters would suggest Judge George w. Olyany of the court of general ses- sions, who had been a leader of the tenth assembly district for more than 10 years until his appointment 10 the bench last January.
 William Randolph Hearst, who has been reported to have inspired Mayor Hylans statement opposing Foley's selection and with having inspired the declaration that none but district leader should be selected. last night denied he had any candidate. He said
 "I do not know anything about the internal politics of Tammany Hall.
 T certainly have no candidate for the leadership of Tammany.
 T have no interest in his selection except that, as a citizen of New York, l hope that this powerful political or ganization will secure an able and honest leader. who will conduct it in harmony with modern. progressive principles.
 Mayor Hylan has shown what such honest. progressive leadership means for this success of the party in New York city and for the standing of the New York democracy throughout the country.
 "Tammany need not be a political stench in the nostrils of the nation. It could be a great and admirable in- fiuence for genuine democracy.
 .'l don't know who the leader should be; have no suggestion 10 make. but hope the selection will be a wise one"

CARPENTER STARTS OFF
 BUT FEW PAY HIM HONOR
Only About 100 Bid Him Farewell At Dock As He Embarks For Gibbons Fight

| Paris, May 7.-Georges Carpentier
 off for his fight in America with Tom
 my Gibbons, clambered aboard the boat train this forenoon amid the plaudits of some 100 of his followers His departure was in striking contest with the circumstances of his leaving twos years ago when he sailed forth to conquer Jack Dempsey, and the worlds championship, on which oc- casion the police reserves were sum- moned to protect him from being mobbed by thousands. His manager leaned out of a window and grinned a farewell to the assembled enthus- lasts. The lightweight champion; Charles Ledoux, European feather weight champion, Johnny Sullivan. the welterweight, and Trainer Gus Wilson completed the party. which will board the liner Majestic at Cher bourg this evening for New York. All the travellers appeared cheery and confident despite the dismal aspect of the weather and the obvious apathy of the crowd.
 Georges English has developed to such fuency that he might pass now for the lingual product of one of the best of the New England prep schools instead of from his youthful environ ment of the coal mining town of Lens. The American fight followers will find Descamps' English not so perfect but just as yoluble and stae- cato as formerly. with the added quality of being sufficiently proficient in legal phraseology to enable him to draw up a contract with every contingency he can think of carefully and accurately provided for.
