World Of Music
Theme from "Persim Dances" from Khovonstchino."
~. by MoussorgskY

"a suggestion for using and pre-.
serving the daily music themes:
Many teachers of music apprecia-
ton advise their pupils to clip the
themes, paste them on 3x5 filing
cards, place the composers name
at the top and file them in alpha
betical order by composers.)
Fritz KreiSler, noted violiniSt,
proved his drawing power is as
strong as ever, judging from the
size Of the audience last night at
Constitution Hall and the over
whelming ovations given him at
the end Of each number.
KreiSler has built up q vast fol
lowing through the many years of
his career as a concert artist be-
cause he has made music live for
the listener with breadth of
tone and apparently effortless
technique.
He has never been averse to
play encoreS such as THE Old
Refrain" and Londonderry Air, u
which everybody knew, yet de.
lighted all the more to hear him
breath a warm breath Of life into.
1t mattered little to the vast
audience last night that critics
have detected of late occasional
flatting of tones. This must be
expected with age. However, no
lowering of pitch was noticeable
last night, except an occasional
tone in fast passages. At times,
the fast movement of the bow did
not seem to time exactly with the
movement of the fingers, resulting
in a few tones that were not prop
erly stopped. Only the most care.
full listeners seemed to be aware
of any discrepancy.
None of this marred the enjoy.
ment of the recital, as these ones
were passed over so quickly as to
make little impression. In the
Devils Trill Sonata" CTartinD
and the Viotti Concerto, A
Major" Kreisler demonstrated
some Of the smoothest trill work
imaginable.
The inevitable mute was used
in the adagio movement Of the
concerto, in the Habanera, and
La File aux Cheveu,. de Lin. His
tones when using the mute are
not the thin lifeleSS sounds that
one often hears with the use of
the noise suppreSsor, but even the
mute could not destroy the depth
of tone for which he is noted.
Washington is fortunate this
season in being able to hear such
an artist as KreiSler twice. as he
will appear again in Constitution
Hall as soloiSt with the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra Decem.

The theme shown above from

PRESIDENT OFF
TO SEE SONS
JOIN LODGE

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. z
UN.S). - President Roosevelt
turned toward washington today
after an eight-day stay at his Hyde
Park home to vote and receive the
off-year election results.
This afternoon he planned to
motor down to New York City,
where tonight his sons, James and
Franklin, jr., take their degrees
and become Master Masons of the
Blue Lodge. A sleeper jump will
have him back at his desk tomor-
row morning. ,
The President will go direct to
his town house at 40 East Sixty
fifth st. when he reaches New
York this evening. Remaining
there only long enough to get into
evening clothes, he will go to the
Masonic Temple to attend priv
ate dinner given by the officers of
the grand lodge.
Following the dinner, the two
Roosevelt sons will go through the
Masonic initiation. The President
expected to board his special train
some time before midnight.
Satisfied With Kentucky
Returns indicating that the
Democrats had captured the Ken
tucky governorship despite a
party split were received at Hyde
Park with obvious satisfaction.
Also, word that New Jersey had
piled up q record-breaking Demo.
cratic vote in the State assembly
election came as welcome news
after the Republican victory in
the New York State assembly.
The President was very careful,
however, not to comment on
either. In connection with the
Kentucky elections, he expressed
qualification that the State had
voted old-age pensions by so large
Q vote but said nothing about the
gubernatorial contest.

ing Hyde Park fairly well salts

Is pointed out in his behalf that
although the Democrats lost the
New York assembly they ran up a
Statewide popular plurality Of
around 100000.
There had been grave doubts
aS to whether A. B. Happy"
Chandler could win the governor
ship down in Kentucky. InroadS
made on the normal Republican
majority in Philadelphia were

WORKMEN REPAIRING
CLARKE AVE. BLOCK

Workmen have been busy this week,
leveling the ridge on Clarke Avenue,
between Vine and Linden, made by
the fill-in when the sewer in this block
was relaid.
The residents appreciate the small
improvement but would be better
pleased if the City Council could see
its way clear to make more extensive
repairs. This street has been twice
torn up-once by the gas company;
and, again, by the city for sewer.
While the replacement by the gas COM
pany looked at the time to be all that
was required, subsequently, it settled
and made very ragged strip along
the entire block. When the sewer was
relaid, the film was made somewhat
higher than the level of the street
bed, to take care of the matter of
settling. The ridge is what has been
leveled lately.
Repairs are now needed from gut
ter to gutter. The sewer strip will
be a source of much dust during the
dry season, and the gas strip needs
additional stone and tar. 1t is recog-

ARREST NEGROES
FOR DISORDER
One Is Wounded When Fired
Upon BY Officers In His
Attempt To Escape

A call to Deputy Sheriff Crawford
B. Hillman from residents in the COM
munity last Sunday morning, came as
a result of what looked like drunk
en- orgy participated in by some eight
or ten negroes, who were holding forth
in the vicinity of the old railroad de-
pot just across the Pocomoke, and
near Johnson's meat products place.
Sheriff Hillman Immediately re-
sponded after putting in call for De-
putty Sheriff William Holland of Som
erset county, who arrived on the
scene with his brother. A lively chase
soon ensued as some Of the negroes
fled in car. Soon the route pursued
took all concerned across the Dividing
Creek bridge into Worcester County,
where Sheriff Hillman had jurisdic-
ton.
Before any arrests could be accom-
plished, it was necessary that some
shooting be resorted to, and one of
the men received a gun shot wound
from a sawed off shot gun, part
of the offensive weapons of the Of
ficers. During the melee, one of the
negroes tried to wrench the gun

COUNTY SEEKS
PLAN TO BENEFIT
FROM BILLIONS
Worcester Will Have Probably
About 100000 For Its
Share OF Fund
DEFINITE PLANS SHOULD
BE PREPARED AT ONCE

Several meetings have been held in
the county looking toward adopting
some plan whereby the county could
benefit by the four billions of money
to be spent by the Government in
relief work.
According to estimates made, Wor-
cester county will receive about $780,
600 as it's share of the money. In
order to secure any grants a certain
ratio must be retained between labor
and materials
Organized effort is necessary to
profit by any loans or gifts, and the
main objects to be obtained by the
meetings was to supplement such
means as had earlier in the year been
provided for handling the matter.
Pocomoke has mentioned as desir-
ed projects street and sewer improve
ments. The two highways under con-
sideration were Linden Avenue and
Cedar Street. There is also much
desired sewerage addition in order to
take care of present very Objectionable
surface conditions.
Back in February, or thereabouts,
a planning board was appointed which
did some very effective work in Sc
curing street improvement in POGO
moke, notably on Walnut Street. In
order to cooperate with this to
secure shares of this latest govern
ment fund, the different organiza-
lions have been asked to name a COM
mittee to work in conjunction with
already existing bodies
At its meeting on Monday evening,
the Rotary Club named its incoming
president, Ralph Ross and H. Merrill
Walters as representatives. 1t is not
known whether any other organization
have acted likewise, but it is presumed
they will.
It is highly necessary that very
definite propositions must be put uI
to those who are in charge of distri.
button in order to secure favorable
consideration. Mr.. John Mackall il

a hobby with him ever since I have
