 Deadline Passed
 The communication referred to is one in which MT. Harris urged that the WPA regulation barring from employment all persons placed on relief lists subsequent to November 1 be rescinded to permit the em- ployment of Mutual Aid workers, most of whom were listed with the department of public welfare after the national deadline had passed.
 The Mutual Aid will be closed at the end of the current week and about 300 persons will be placed on the department of public welfare rolls.
 MT. Harris also received letter from Senator Francis T. Maloney this morning. It read, in part:
 T am quite in accord with the feeling you express concerning the selection of people for the WPA. I particularly pointed out to relief of- ficials the unfair hardships inflicted on the city of Waterbury, explain ing the Mutual Aid plan and how the city is being penalized as 8 re-

The C agle eyes of Motor Patrolman Alfred OvertOn and John Mcdonnell were at work this morning in his patrol of Hamilton avenue at the early hour of 12:3O.
 They were driving along the street when they spotted a fire in the house at 353 Hamilton avenue, with the lights out in the house and most of the Occu- pants in bed asleep. Just then Charles Pierce, occupant of first floor, came along, from his duties as caretaker of the ,ScO- will property. MT Mcdonnell went to turn in the fire alarm. In the meantime, Pierce and OvertOn broke into the second floor, and aroused the occupants, MT. and Mrs. Christopher Offerson,- who have 8 child 4 years old. MT. Pierces wife and four children were asleep in his apartment. They were aroused, also.
 MT. Pierce and Officer Over ton doused the fire with water obtained from the faucets in the second floor apartment.

 Commander Michael Callahan of the Waterbury chapter of Disabled American Veterans said that al- though he was unable definitely to state that the chapter would lend its support to the general movement in cluding the other large veterans groups, there was no logical reason for refusal. Members of the chapter were virtually all for the passage of bonus measure, he said.
 At the last meeting of the execu- tive committee of the department of Connecticut of the American Legion, it was unanimously voted to urge Connecticut's 6 representatives and two senators to work for the pas sage of legislation to pay the bonus. The Stweiwer-Byrns bill, which the veterans will support, would make the bonus due and payable July Il, 1886.

Major Carroll pointed out that at the re- cent national convention, the V.

VOTING DUE
INC0UNTY

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 7.-Vot-
ers of the Fourth and Fifth
suburban districts of Montgomery
county, those including Silver
Spring and Bethesda, will have
voting machines of the latest type
installed for their convenience by
the next election. 49,
The county commissioners will
meet with officials of the Mary
land state Board of Election Su-
pervisors in Baltimore August 10
to hear information regarding diff
ferent types of voting machines,
with the aim of soon installing
them in the thickly populated
area of the county.
A law passed by the last session
of the State legislature provides
for installation Of voting ma
chimes in the fourth and fifth
suburban districts, where the
heavy vote in recent elections has
made tabulation and reporting OF
returns much later than in other
sections.
It has been estimated that IS
of these machines will be re
Quired, and they will cost about
5000 each.
A $4,000 item for this purpose
was provided in the last budget
approved by the board two months
ago. The balance can be paid
on the installment plan at no ad-
ditional cost, county officials
pointed out.

A brilliant program Of sym.
phonic music and dances has been
arranged by Rudolph CAM for
the midweek Sunset Symphony"
concert tonight at 8 o'clock at the
Potomac Watergate.
Opening with the overture to
the opera, Russian and Lud.
milla," by Glinka, Mr.. Cans will
present one of the greatest works
of Tschaikowsky, the symphony
No. 5"
Following the intermission the
Miriam Winslow Dancers will pre-
sent: "Allegretto" CMoZart) I,
"Valse Impromptu" (Dohnanyi) I.
Largo" (HandeD, "Andalouse"
and "Sevillanos" CMassanet), ,
Short Intermezzo" (StrauSS.
"Slavonic Dances Nos. l and 10"
(Dvorak) and the Emperor
Waltz" (Strauss) by the orchestra
will complete the program.
Mr.. CAM has chosen a bril-
liant and cheerful overture to
open the program. The opera
Russian and Ludmilla," from
which material for the overture
was taken, was never a successful
opera, largely because of the
poorly constructed story; but the
music is generally recognized as
the best Glinka has written.
Like Sad News
The second or Andante canta-
bile movement of TschaikoWsky's
Symphony No. s." the theme of
which is shown above, continues
in much the same melancholy
mood established in the first
movement. After a short intro
duction of deep and rich har'
monies, the horns intone the ex,
quisite song of the theme. 1t is
a languishing melody filled with
yearning yet not without some
measure of joy and hope.
The first movement might be
likened to the reaction Of a per
son who has just heard over
whelmingly sad news, possibly a
loved one is doomed to depart this
sphere. The second movement
seems to describe the mental
gloom coupled with the struggle
and attempt to find solution q
the predicament. The bitter-Sweet
moods Of melancholy are expressed
IN eloquent accents.
There are other themes that
are brought up that flow with
weird melody. The various sec
lions of the orchestra in turn give
their versions of the themes, some
times hesitating, sometimes driv
ing with a powerful force. The
irrepressible spirit of hope seem!
to gain ground.
Following a period of hesitation
a gigantic creature of despair and
doom marches toward his victim
with this background full Of men
ace, the violins carry their mes
sage of hope against the dark ut
terances of the BASES; a fierce
struggle ensues. The woodwindS
voice hopeful phrases; but the
melody sinks deeper and, follow
ing the statement Of the theme
by the BASES, the clarinet takes
it up in a dying cadence. The
struggle has been too great; the
sleep of exhaustion has overcome
the spirit.

Not only are the unemployed
musicians to be considered in this

will be given every encouragement,
Because Of financial difficulties,
most symphony orcheStraS are
unable to experiment with new
music by unestablished composers,

The unfortunate part of this
attempted relief is that it is com
ing about six years late. A large
proportion of good musicians
when they lost their positions with

into accepting any work that was
available. Few musicians are go
