TWO HOSPITALIZED after AUTO CRASH
IN. H. ROAD'SUSE
OF ELECTRICITY
Lines Now Consume 200
Million KilOwatt Hours
Every Year
RUN STATE 2 MONTHS

Electric power consumed in
operating those sections of the
New Haven railroad which have
been placed under electrification
during the course of one year
would be sufficient for the power
and light requirements of the ems
tire state of Connecticut, including
its household, commercial and in
dustrial demand, for a period of
two months. The New Haven's
electrified equipment annually con-
sumes more than 200,000,00O kilo-
watt hours.
Although the New Haven no
longer has the largest electrified
syste in the United States, a dis
tinction it held for many years, 1t
was the pioneer in railway electri-
fication and no railroad Is changed
from steam to electric service with
out having some feature of the
New Haven's electrical design in
its equipment. The New Haven be-
gan its experience with electric
power in high speed railroad oper-
alton as early as 1895 when the
Nantasket Beach Branch, in the
vicinity of Boston, was equipped
for power operation, the first steam
railroad Identification in the coun-
try. Even before the dawn of the
century, the railroad had made
several more electric installations
in Connecticut and Massachusetts,.
After 1900, more electrified lines
were added in Connecticut.
With the more intensive use of
the Park Avenue Tunnel in New
York, the New Haven was forced,
virtually by statute, into the use of
electricity on main line operation.
Just as pioneering always brings
new problems and difficulties, so it
was with the New Haven. Skillful
engineering was required to meet
the many conditions which were
confronted in developing this new
method of railroading and it is
tribute to the engineering ability
of the men engaged in that de-
velopment that the New Haven
Railroads electrification is q pat
tern which has become one of the
standard for present day railroad
identification.

embarrassing situations, for Eddie
is very good at them. During the
World War, before the United
States got into it, he had to sort
out and keep apart the dozen or
so ENJOYS of the warning nations.
Diplomacy being what it is, it
would have been terrible had the
Austrian been ushered into the
same waiting room with the Ital-
ian. Eddie had couple of rooms
in reserve, and by ushering his men
fast, so they could not look about
too much, he usually managed so
that there were no exchanges Of
nasty looks.

volved, and not only are they Of
ficially in state of peace and
friendliness but DIR Hawking Yen,

far outranked by Japanese Am
bassador katsuji Debuchi. Anyway,
they have not met; for the depart
ment uses the tactful method of
separating the appointments Of
visitors in such circumstances.
Eddie, however. probably hopes
for his big change of keeping them
a room or SO apart, each unaware
of the others presence. He is rs,
tiny, extremely bowlegged, fringe
of white hair circling his copper
pate, often with stub of cigar
underneath his little white NOUS

service will not pay him any more.
Stimson does it personally, be-
lieving that Eddie probably would
not last long if his beloved job
were taken away.
Hence the little messenger still
sits at his desk, like benevolent
spider in a marble floored web, to
draw in his diplomatic guests.

told me. that the Chinese will be
forced to retreat 20 kilometers.
After We have pushed them
back, we will offer to negotiate.
He admitted the negotiations prob
ably would be unsuccessful.
Matsuoka and Shigemitsu ex-
planned that Japan had landed the
ninth battalion at the international
settlement only to maintain prece-
such as tep.
A most difficult problem, the
minister told me, would be deci-
sion on what to do after the Chi
nese had been forced out of the
present dangerous Chapel salient.
Japan favors establishment OF
Gordon sanitaire within the 20
kilometer zone we will establish"
the minister continued.
He said Japan wanted coopera-
ton of the other powers, which he
admitted was unlikely.
AS a result, my nation faces
the alternative of holding the 20
kilometer line indefinitely" he
said.
Official American sources con-
sidered as propaganda a Japanese
threat to withdraw all troops If
CHINA refuses to negotiate after
the 20-kilometer zone is estab-
lished.
America, it was said, would well
come such withdrawal, as Ameri-

~zertstueck, "A Major" by Saint
5aens, the mood of the violinist was
reflected. He was going in for care
full beauty. He was the powerful
master at all times.
In a Mozart composition, this
sense of vast proportion and beauty
of tone was apparent. And in
speaking of Enesco, I must not fail
to pay tribute to the work of San
ford Schlussel at the piano and the
vioIinist shared his tremendous ova-
ton following the Schumann sonata
with his accompanist.
My sincere admiration for Enesco
in no way reflects discredit upon
the spirit and the ability of the
members of the Indianapolis Maen~
nerchor, who shared the program
with Enesco at the Academy of
Music last night.
The chorus opened with two
Beethoven numbers. Interest GEN.

second group and the beautiful en-
core which followed.
Karl Reckzeh, who has con-
Quoted the chorus for years, again

engagements forced me to leave be-
fore Enesco began his final group.

ENESCO PROVES
He is MASTER
OF VIOLINISTS
Never Was S%chumann'S
Sonata More SpIendidIy
Played.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

1 heard the most tremendously
beautiful playing of Schumann last
night at the hands of Georges En-
esco, violinist, that I have ever
witnessed in my life.
Am not forgetting one or two
other names of great players who
probably have more world acclaim
than this man.
But this fact remains, Enesco's
playing of Schumann'S Sonata in
D Minor especially the third move
ment, was so tremendously beautiful
that I cried.
1t may be silly to state that
people cry at beauty in great con-
certs but I did last night and ]
was not the only one Neither am
I ashamed.
When musical beauty becomes so
radiantly beautiful that it hurts,
then it is perfect art. That is the
way Enesco's playing of Schumann's
sonata last night appealed to ME
and the effect must have been uni
verSal.
After the playing of the third
movement with its delicate passages,
difficult fingers and other technical
attributes which produce the beau
ty of this passage, EneSco just left
me limp.
1 am ready to go on record now
that if Fritz Kreisler is accepted
as the greatest living violinist, then
I am ready to state without any
apology that Enesco is rapidly get
ting ready to challenge that posi-
ton.
Even in his first number, exon
