ORLOFF.KOCHANsKI RECITAL.

A new pianist TO Washington and
one who established himself as a re-
markabe individuality and artist was
presented in his debut here by Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend in the third of
her morning musicals at the May
flower Hotel yesterday morning. This
artist is the Russian. Nikolal Orion.
Sharing the progrom was Paul no
chanski, Polish violinist, who for sew
eral seasons has become increasingly
popular with local music lovers. There
was the usual large and fashionable
audience. Among those present was
Nicholas Longworth. Speaker of the
House and a talented ViOlinist
Mr.. Orloff opened the program with
Scarlatti's "Capriccio." giving it's
delicate runs and horid turns mellow,
ringing notes and freshness of inter-
probation. Brahms Rhapsody in 3
Minor" also was given new meaning,
and the beautiful minor melody that
is the basic design in this work was
well emphasized Mr. Orloff has no
temperamental mannerisms. He looks
like a Wide-awake young business
man, and sits at the piano and plays
in q businesslike and thoroughly
convincing fashion; every fiber seems
concentrated on his work while he is
playing. His group of Chopin was
completely delightful. He presented
the not so frequently heard "Etude f
Major" the "NOcturne F Minor" and
the 'Scherzo in B Minor" all with
distinct authority and individuality.
This was no saccharine, incoming
Chopin. but crisp, wide-awake music.
The popular little Minute Waltz"
was the encore. The last piano group
included Medtner's March in c
a. sv.4in oF 1n
Schubert "Soiree de Nienne," and an
especially fascinating version of Rim
sky-korsakoff's lie vol du Bourbon
1t is small wonder that MIR. Orloff has
created sensations musically in Lon
don, New York and, in fact, where
ever he has played.
Mr.. Kochanski brought some I'M
usually intriguing novelties to his
part of the program. The Chant de
Roxane," which this artist has ar
ranged for violin. a work by Sigma
nowski. a young Polish composer, who
has written original things for both
violin and piano. is a beautiful COM

useful trade, were fairly sure Of being
assigned to tilnberng Solovietsky is
easily able to care for more than H.
900, especially as many prisoners IL
in camps on outlying portions of the
island, or on smaller" islands. some as
far as 20 miles from the main island.
During the typhus epidemic last
Winter, when everything was strictly
ouarantined, the inmates of the out
lying stations had an especially hard
time. Men who were too sick to re-
cover in small branch hospitals were
usually loaded on sleds and hauled to
the main hospital at the kremlin. Oc-
casionalIy they were frozen to death
when they arrived.
Theater Seats Thousand.
THE epidemic forced closing OF the
theater and as snow was cleared from
Holy Lake, electric lights were strung
about and the prisoners were permit
ted to skate. a ticket to the skating
rink cost 10 kopecks. Most of the
purchasers, however, did not skate,
but the ticket gave them permission
to leave the barracks and gossip with
the women prisoners loaf1ng around
the rink.
This year the old dining hall has
and dramatic performances by pris
oner talent. 1t seats more than a
thousand.
"Once a man enters Solovietsky he
is stripped of his artificial individu
atty and gradually acquires q new

position. throbbing with life in its
melodies, minor chords and very mod
ern use of chromatics and variation
in keys. 1t seems n real addition to
concert literature. The same seemed
true of the typicaIly Latin qualities
of Minis Chants d Espagne," which
were also arranged for violin by Mr.,
kochanski. "Tonada del Condo Sol
is primarily rhythmic, "Montanesa"
is gayly buoyant, and Grandma" IS
lovely in a more lyrical fashion. The
Godowsky.Pre Alt Wien" was
much appreciated by the audience.
The Mozart kreisler "Rondo" and the
Bach "Praeludium' gave fine balance
and variation to Mr.. Kochansld's
other numbers. Nine. Boulanger's
"Cortege" was the encore. Pierre
LuboshutZ as aCCompaniSt deserves At

BERLIN. January 6.-The mutiny
which Moscow reports has broken out
among the prisoners at icebound Solo
nietsky Island, the most dreaded OF
RUSSIAN prisons, is an annual event
following the opening Of the timbering
season. according 10 Julius G. CheVa-
lier, the only American ever impris-
uned there, who is now in Berlin en-
route to Constantinople, where ne
hopes to rejoin his children.
When the cutting season starts
those prisoners whose hopes already
are dead revolt and invite sudden
death rather than face the unknown
Arctic rigors of thOGe grim forests.
where they believe SLOW death from
starvation and exhaustion awaits
them. Others plod stolidly into the
snow mantled unknown, hoping to sur
vive and bring freedom another year
closer.
Timber cutting is the hardest class
at labor forced on the prisoners,
Chevalier said. only those poorest
equipped in mechanical skill and
trains are assigned to the work, eX-
cept in special cases for punishment,
when The prisoner does not quite de
serve shooting or confinement on
Tchkerie Mountain.

Poor Clothes and Food.

Prisoners working in the timbering
gangs are the poorest clothed and
receive the lightest rations. They
are mostly criminals. A few are men
accused on counter-revolutiona ac-
livities. The latter are given some
what better treatment than the for
lner.
While other labor gangs work
light hours in Winter and 10 hours
in Summer, with one holiday a month,
the lumber jacks have a definite daily
stipend. Each gang of five men mus
1ell, saw and stack a cubic Sazgen
Of wood daily. Apparently this Is
not much for normal, healthy, well
fed men. but a SaZgen means a solid
stack considerably larger than by I
feet. In addition to this. the trees
selected for cutting are marked. But
should a tree, after it is felied and
trimmed. prove rotten, that is the
gangs responsibility, not the bosses .
Each gang must finish its daily
stint regardless Of the weather, work
ing through the darkness of the night
il necessary Once behind, a gang
seldom catches up. If it is still be-
hind on the second day it is allowed
warm food only every third day and
is put to work pulling sleds. Wherever
hey lag at this work the guards
beat them WIFI the OullS VI tAICh
guns, provided no Red soldiers are in
sight. Once a man drops he often
is unable to rise again, despite the
beating, which continues until death
ends his agony.
Unless a prisoner invites the en-
nifty of his fellow workers. he Is usu-
ally cared for by the others If he is
unable to do his share. Four good
workers can do the daily stint and fire.
Quently take on a weak prisoner in or
der to save him. Once a man sue
cumbs he is left in the snow until
summer comes.
Live i'm Board Shanties.
The numbering gangs live In board
shanties. Frequently men in camps,
knowing that shooting is their prob
able punishment, wade through the
snow. reach the prison kremiin and
seek a few hours warmth before
death.
This years program at Solovietsky
contemplated increasing the number
of prisoners from 5000 to 10000 and
extending the numbering operations.
NIoscoN's Spring crusade against
speculation in the markets and buying
and selling foreign currency brought
q couple of thousand new guests.
when I left the island the embar-
kation stockade was crowded with
these former f1nanciers, mostly Jews,
who. on account of their lack of q
