a complete summary of results OF

This tabulation is especially time

Democratic strength in Massachu-

COLCHESTER FERRY REPORTED
PURCHASED BY WILSON LINE

PURCHASED BY WILSON LINE
1t was reliably reported last week
that the holdings Of The colchester
Company, offered at public sale some
weeks ago, had been privately pur-
chased by The Wilson Line, said to
be subsidiary of The Pennsylvania
Railroad. The sale, it is said, was
negotiated by the bondholders of The
colchester Company which forced
the public sale some weeks ago and
who bought in the property when the
bids did not suffice to cover their
holdings.
Just what plans The Wilson Com
pany had for the future could not be
learned inasmuch as the sale has not
been publicly ratified. It is felt in
some circles, however, that If the re-
ported sale is true that the new own
ers Of the ferry system would not be-
gin operations across the bay until
the opening Of the excursion season
next year.

its operations with the final run from

SOM OF ENVOY
HELD, ROBBED

The kidnapping and robbing Of
member of diplomatic family
here on Christmas night was re-
vealed by police today.
Almedo Alfaro, 15-year-old son
of the minister from Ecuador, was
the victim. He was released by
his captors after being robbed of
a $40 bill-a Christmas gift from
his father.
Police believe it was the original
plan of the captors to hold the
youth for ransom, but changed
their plans when it was found that
young Alfaro had money on his
person.
According to the story told
police, the youth was walking near
Fifteenth and I Streets Northwest,
Christmas night when he was
forced into an automobile occu-
pied by three men.
He was released about 3 a. m.
Saturday morning, he said, after
riding about town with the men
who threatened him from time to
time. He was pushed from the
car at First and A Streets South
east, and Immediately went to his
home at the Mayflower Hotel.

principal value of the daily bal

Keep the right food habits if

OI1IO
1.-THE Bells" Symphony (Racn-
maninoff), which will be heard
here when the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra comes to Con-
stitution Hall January IL, is based
upon the famous poem by our
American poet, Edgar Allan Poe
When the chorus Of $50 voices
from the University of Pennsyl-
vania sings the vocal part, how
ever, the original words Of Poe's
poem will not be sung.
Mr.. Rachmaninoff wrote the
symphony while dwelling in
Russia, and was inspired to write
the work after reading a Rus
sian translation by Balmont. In
order to make poetic sense in the
Russian language, the translation
was a free version. Thus it was
that THE Bells" was used in a
different cadence than in the
English.
The mood of the poem fits in
with the prevailing mood of Rus
sian writer's and composers so
that in the Russian translation
Poe became a good MuScovite.
After the work was completed
and performed, a German trans
lation was made to fit the mu-
sic. From the German transla-
ton an English translation was
likewise made.
So, to come back to our start
ing point, the chorus will sing an
English translation of a German
translation Of a Russian tranSla-
ton of Poe'S English poem THE
Bells" And if anyone familiar
with the poem can detect any
lines of the original when the
chorus sings. it will be in spirit
and mood only.
OF this symphony, Stokowski,
comparing an element of kinship
between Poe and Rachmaninoff,
said, "They have the same delight
in the klang of words or tones. In
the last few bars of Rachmani-
MOTIFS first well-known work, his
Prelude for Piano in c Sharp
Minor there is a series of bell
like changing sounds which foretell
the wonderful bell-sonorities Of
this symphony.
"Rachmaninoff has seldom EN-.
ployed actual bells in his orches-
trail work; but by an endless va
riety of combinations of horns,
trumpetS, trombones, wood-wind
instruments, strings and groups
Of voices singing sometimes with
words, sometimes bouche fermee
(mouth closed), he suggests the
beating and tolling, and afterward
the discordant humming, Of bells"

Communism was branded "the
