DELIGHTFUL. CONCERT RENDERED
BY MRS ALBERT NJ. SAMES AND
MRS. JULIA F4EUSINGER MCAl4L

At the Parish house yesterday after
noon the Douglas Music club presented
a delightful and interesting program
Sby Mrs Albert M. Sames, violinist, and
Mrs. Julia Heusinger Mccall. pianist.
Before the music Mrs. Mccall gave
brief outline of the lives and works of
the composers whose compositions ap-
peared on the program. Herself
teacher of many years experience and
trained and appreciative musician,
she impaired to her audience much of
her own enthusiasm for the great mas
ters about to be Interpreted
The first number was the Beethoven
sonata in f major-two movements,
Allegro and Adagio, by Mrs. Sames and
Mrs Mccall The Allegro movement
was charmingly played with all the
joy of awakening spring expressed by
both instruments and the grave Ada
gio" with much depth of tone and feel
ing.
This number was followed by Bee
thoven "Romanza," Mrs. Sames playing
it with a lovely singing quality, which
the pianist ably supported, The second
movement of the Mendelssohn Con-
ever is, and both musicians gave full
measure of it's graciousness of tone and
harmony.
Miss Frances Jacks, pupil of Mrs.
Mccall, then played the first movement
of the G Minor Concerto by Dussek.
This composition lent itself admirably
to the arrangement of second piano
accompaniment instead of an orchestra.
Having perhaps a little more "expres-
sional ease" than the concertos OF
greater composers, it really adapted it
self better to it's rendition by two
pianos as chamber music. The young
student who played it showed excellent
technique. She had none of the rigid
heavily marked tempo which might
have been expected from her youth but
played the most difficult passages with
a facility of expression and color very
grateful to her audience. The con-
certo, new to many music lovers OF
Douglas was delightfully."- melodious
and Douglas ought to be proud of this
Young music student who shows so
much promise.
The last three numbers were all
lovely. both in composition and execu-
tion. The old famlllar rail- e''i' nc
took on new charm of color and deep
harmonies under Mrs. Sames sympa-
thetic Interpretation The Brahms
waltz in A Major" was not at all
characteristic of it's composer. 1t had
it's full quota of penetrating, haunting
sweetness but lacked the fire and
abandon one expects from Brahms 1t
was this great master in one of his
most restful moods and perfectly
charming.
The last number by sarasate' was
also different Instead of brilliant ana
cold technicafities it held lovely swell
ing harmonies and was fitting ending
to a splendidly chosen program. "A
large and appreciative audience thor
o,,oblv enioyed the afternoon of music.

FIREARMS LAW
SENT GOVERNORS.
BY COMMISSION

NEW YORK, Feb. 90 P)-Draft of
a fire arms law designed to prevent
gunner from using state boundaries
as a stepping stone to crime has
been forwarded to the governors OF
all states that hold legislative ses-
sions this year, Richard Washburn
Child, acting chairman of the ma
tional crime commission, announced
today. The proposed act, which
would regulate the sale, possession
and use Of fire arms, silencers and
noxious gases, was prepared by the
special committee on fire arms reg
ulation appointed by the national
commission last July.
The committee was said to have
been able to reach an agreement
on all important features of the bill
except a section requiring a permit
to purchase as well as to carry
pistol The members of the com,
mittee representing the small arms
manufacturers and associations dis
sented from this requirement, which
was, however, agreed on by a ma
jority of the members.
The proposed legislation affects
all firm arms less than 8 inches long
which includes sawed off shotguns
and sub machine guns.
In regard to punishment for crimes
committed with the aid Of fire arms
the bill is similar to the new
Baumes law of New York, except
that for fourth offenders the Judge
may at his discretion impose SEN
tence of 20 years instead of the life
sentence which is mandatory under
the Baumes law.
The bill contains rigid restrictions
concerning persons to whom permits
to carry fire arms may be issued
and records which must be kept OF
every sale Advertising of weapons
is made unlawful. Silencers are pro
hibited except for military and po
lice purposes. A penalty of five
years Imprisonment is fixed for un-
authorized possession of machine
gun. 3t5r
Finger prints arc to be taken OF
all persons to whom permits are IS
sued and the giving of false testi-
mony in an application for per-
nit is made Il felony. 1T is the
belief of the special commlttee,'
SAID Mr. Child's announcement, that
the bill prepared will go far towards
preventing the securing of pistols
by the criminal element and II
adopted in substance by all OF the
states will result in a uniform reg
ulation that viii prevent the gum
men from stepping across a state
border and evaGing. the statutes Of
one state by purchasing his pistol
outside Of its borders"

ballots before his home state delegay
tion split resulting in his defeat. He

bility in 1904 when the Ohio dele
gates were instructed for him bus
lie refused to allow his name TO be

ocratic circles as the party's stand
ard bearer

CREWS HEROISM
In ATTE MP TED
RESCUE is TOLD

NEW YORK, Feb 81 R)-With a
curt entry in her log behind which
lay a grim tale of the heroism of
the men that go down to the sea in
ships, the Lloyd Royal Belgique
steamer Suevier put back into port
today after an unsuccessful attempt
to rescue the laundering barge Tai
bot in heavy seas off Ambrose light
last night.
Thirteen members of the Suevier's

tempted to put off a lifeboat to the
distressed coal barge, which had
five men aboard. The life boat was

the Talbot picked up by the
cutter Gresham, andtowed to Sandy
Hook. The Talbot was en- route from
Norfolk, Va, to New Haven, Conn.
Late today the suevier came into
rort to get medical attention for it's
to obtain another life boat His
hands still red and swollen and his
face showing the effects of exposure

the Suevier today told his story
simply
On sighting the Talbot flying dis
tress signals, he said, seven mem
bers of his crew prepared to put Oft

manned the davits to lower the boat
At that moment huge comber
struck the steamer, causing two men
on the deck to be injured and
carrying the five men at the davits
and the seven in the life boats into
the sea.
The life boat, also hurled into the
water from the davits, fell on some
of the seamen swimming desperately

War Mayor, Nominated Again
Mid Scenes of Carnage, Theft

CHICAGO, Feb. % (H9.-WiIliam Hale
(Bigs Bid Thompson Chicago's war
time mayor. was nominated as the re-
publican mayoralty standard bearer
here today in a Washington day pri-
mary featured by shootings, raids kid
nappings, sluggings and ballot box
thefts.
His democrat opponent in the April
election will be Mayor William e.
Dever virtually without opposition to-
day. The two also may be opposed by
DR.. John Dill Robertson, West Park
commissioner and city health commits
sioner under Thompson, who was not
entered in tho primary but has an
rounced he will contest in the election
as an independent.
On the basis of incomplete returns
Thompson had won over Edward r.
Litsinger, member of the board of re-
view, by an estimated plurality of
about 125,000. Thompson from the first
maintained q lead of about two to one
over Litsinger, and S25 precincts out
of 1858 gave him 1OS, 5S3 and Litsinger
53,427 In $50 precincts Mayor Dever
collected 6O,992 votes and Martin
Walsh, his only opponent, 4,515.
The city news bureau tabulating the
returns estimated Thompson had been
nominated over ,Litsinger by a plur-
ality of between $4,000 and 145,000
votes, with minimum plurality Of
125,OOO.
1t was estimated that about 60 per
cent Of the upward of 100000 Chicago
voters had gone to the polls
Thompson's victory was also vic
tory for the republican political faction
headed by Robert e. Grove, states at.
torney, over the faction headed by
Charles S. Deneen, United States sem
ator, which had supported Litsinger
The election, comparatively free
from disorders during the day, wound
up with shooting, kidnapping and bal
lot box thefts and called for assistance
from the police at a score Of polling
places.
One man was shot four times and
probably fatally injured in an election
argument just outside a polling place.
The injured man, Cami1 Dehooge, was
rushed to a hospital and his assailant
was arrested.

CRUISERS BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. % P-The
senate reasserted it's insistence TO-
cay on it's amendment to the naval
supply bill providing funds for be-
ginning construction of three light
cruisers.
without a record vote, the senate
stood pat on it's amendment but ac-
cepted the conference report ad-
iusting other differences between
the house and senate. This now
puts the proposal for cruisers op-
posed by President Coolidge again
up to the house which has refused
to approve such a project The
house has the option of accepting
the senates amendment or request
ing another conference. All other
differences between the two houses
on the naval bill were adjusted Dy
the conferees but in reply to Senator
Robinson the democratic leader, Sen
ator Hale, republican, Maine, III
