DR,STOKONSKI
D|RECTSGHOST
ORCHESTRA
BY ROWLAND THORNE

Probably DR.. Leopold Stokowski,
famous conductor Of the Philadel.
phis Symphony Orchestra, last
night heard a symphony concert
played precisely as he wanted it
played. For Stokowski last night,
at Constitution Hall, was both
conductor and auditor for the
concert played by his splendid Or
ganization in Philadelphia.
The occasion was the dem
onstration of new devices worked
out by the telephone company for
the transmission of sound i'm
pulses from distance. Three
transmission lines were employed,
between Philadelphia and Wash
angton, and on the stage at Con-
stitution Hall loud speakers were
used to distribute the sound just
as though the orchestra had been
playing here.
Sat in Control Box
AS a result, one would have be-
aieved that the orchestra were
actually playing in Constitution
Hall, except that DR.. Stokowski,
sitting at the control desk in a
box at the rear of the auditorium,
was able to produce effects that
the orchestra itself, unaided by
science, could not have achieved.
Tremendous climaxes were OBJ
GAINED, surprising the possible
ties of musicians with conven-
tional instruments. Thus Sto-
kowski was able to show the pos
gibilities of such works as Bach'S
Toccata and Fugue in D minor,
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, De.
bussy's Afternoon of a Faun,'
and the Gotterdammerung finale
as they have never been revealed
before.
For the concert, the stage cur
tains were raised and modernistic
pictures, symbolical of the music,
shown on a white screen.

RICHMOND. Va, June 17.-H.
Stewart Jones. former clerk Of the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court Of Appeals was
under arrest tonight, charged with a
felony involving an alleged misappro-
priation Of $45,41s.3s Of State funds.
He was arrested at his home here
today on q warrant based on the find
ings Of an audit Of his accounts as
court clerk, conducted by State Auditor
L. Mccarthy Downs. The arrest was
requested by Richmond Commonwealth's
Attorney Dave z. Satterfield. who asked
that bail be fixed at $4,000.
The total alleged shortage given IN
the preliminary report Of the State
auditor fled yesterday with Gov. Pollard
and Mr.. Satterfield was $35 5,818.38. The
warrant alleged that $4,000 additional
to this Is due, or total OF s45,4l8.3S.
Allegations in Warrant.
The warrant alleged "that within
IS years past Stewart Jones being then
and there an officer Of the State OF
Virginia; to wit. Clerk Of the Supreme
OOuIt VI hPpcdlS VI fABuAo, Ny 'AA'As
of his ONCE, had the custody OF
$45,418.38 Of public funds Of the State,
which he was required to pay into the
treasury Of the Commonwealth Of Vir-
yinia, and that he feloniously and know
ingly did misuse and misappropriate,
and feloniously and knowingly dispose
Of the same otherwise than by paying
the same into the treasury, in accord
ance with law"
The Downs report said In part: "The
results Of our examination as to the
printing Of records shows that for the
period commencing January !, 1924,
and ended May 26, 1888, H. Stewart
Jones, as Clerk Of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, had collected on behalf Of
the commonwealth $35,818.38 more than
he had remitted to the common
wealth -
due to the fact there is q balance
unpaid to the commonwealth in the
through December 81, 1924, amounting
to s5,7ss.sl. we have gone further back
and are now engaged in auditing the
period commencing January !, 1919. to
December 81, 1923.
There Is another phase Of the stu
alton that 1t will be necessary for us
to audit We find that In . number of
instances the amount. as collected by
the clerk, for costs (printing of the
record, writ tax, and clerks fees) was
considerably more than aggregate Of
such costs, and 1t will therefore be
necessary that we ascertain whether or
not such over-collected amounts have
been returned to appellants.
Investigation Being Continued.
I'VE are continuing with our detailed
examination into all phases Of the
accounts and records OF the former
clerk. It will be necessary that the
fee reports Of the subject be audited,
and due to the fact that each case has
to receive individual attention the time
consumed for making the complete
audit will necessarily be extended, the
report said.
Mr.. Jones had been in the employ
of the court for more than 80 years.
when. several weeks ago, the court
asked and received his resignation. The
Courts action was based on information
by State Controller z. r. Combs, in
dicated an Indebtedness to the State.
Gov. Pollard Immediately ordered Q
State audit OF his accounts.
