SPAN|SH.DANCERS
. THRILL AUDIENCE
Give CoIorfuI interpretations
In Recital at Willard
g.; Hotel. t.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The two Spanish dance artists,
paco Cansino and Senorita Juanita,
who were presented last evening in
q recital at the Willard Hotel by the
Beren-Brook Artists, had to repeat
practically every dance on the pro-
gram so great was their success with
the audience. Although hampered by
q stage not large enough for comfort,
the artists, nevertheless, were able to
.enthuse q large audience with the
-colorful dances embracing every type
Of national art.
Against a simple background OF
black, relieved by a magnificent Span
tsh shawl, black embroidered with
enormous red roses and hung flat in
diamond shape, the vivid costumes
of both dancers added their own
scenic effect. Masters of the intri-
cate steps that are the delight OF
every section of Spain, the artists
gave not only highly entertaining
program, but one that covered most
Of the typical dances of their country.
Dance Famous Numbers.
Thus there was the "Fandanguillo"
of Cordova, the Flamenco" from
Sevilla, "Farruca," the Sevillan gypsy
dance; "Allegrias-Tipicas," Rap
Soda Valenciana," "Jota Aragonesa," i"
the "Tambourine Dance" of Madrid,
the "Ecos del Albaicin" Of Toledo,
Tango Zambra" of Granada, two
classic dances, "Andalucia" and
"Claveles Rojos" (Sevilla) and Cape
Dance" bull fight fantasy.
"a To the superb heel technique, plant
torso movements and swiftly changing
postures of the two dancers was add
ed an extraordinary skill in the use
of the castinets by which they marked
the rhythm and the musical climaxeS.
Yet the temperaments of the artists
brought individuality to their separate
presentations. Paco Cansino is suave
in movement, working gradually up to
the dramatic point where he allowed
the full ardour of his feeling to come
forth, while Senorita Juanita throws
herself into her interpretations with
abandon from the first moment OF
her entrance.
Use Varied Costumes.
Two solos were superbly danced by
Juanita, "Fado," Portuguese dance,
and the classic "Andalucia." The re-
mainder of the program was given
Jointly, the outstanding numbers be-
ing the "Tambourine Dance" with its
rapid sounding of the tambourine on
heel, knee, elbow and hand, the
"Tango-Zambra and the Cape
Dance" Different costumes, elaborate
and beautiful. were used for. each
dance.
The accompaniments were played by
Fernando Alfonso, who also gave three
solos and he too was required to repeat
them on response to the audiences
keen pleasure in his performance. Ex-
cept for La Argentina, Washington has
seen no visiting artists specializing in
the Spanish dance art. so the program
by Senor Casino and Senorita Juanita
was educational as well as highly en-
zjoyable.

PRESIDENT STARTS
WORK ON BUDGET
Move to CurtaiI Costs
Arouses Interest in
Conferences.
By the Associated Press.

Dy 0e AssOClAte0 Ffes8.
President Roosevelt and Daniel W.
Bell, acting director of the budget,
put their heads together yesterday
over the intricate problem of Federal
finances, as the Chief Executive began
framing his budget recommendation
to Congress.
Next years budget-and the knotty
question Of whether it will be bal
ariced-will claim Mr.. Roosevelt's at
tention through most of next week in
q series Of conferences with Govern
ment fiscal experts and Department
heads.
The Presidents recent statement
he would TRY to balance the budget"
sharpened interest in his fiscal con-
ferences and centered attention on
the divergent influences which may
be brought to bear on Federal spend
ing policies In the next Congress.
Relief Is Key Problem.
There was widespread conjecture
over whether liberals might push for
q broadened-and more costly-New
Deal program, while conservatives
countered with demand for substan-
tial scaling down Of present expendi.
lures.
Well-informed Treasury sources in
dicated there may be increases in
budget estimates for regular depart
ments, national defense and the social
security program. They said, how
ever, that the question of whether
next years financial ledger will be
written in black or red ink will depend
largely upon the not yet estimated
relief burden.
Rising Government revenues have
increased the possibility that the
budget may be balanced next year,
but many financial experts doubt that
this alone would suffice, without dras-
tically curtailed expenditure.
Estimates Challenged.
Closed hearings at which depart
ment representatives have outlined
their next years needs to the Budget
Bureau have been under way for a
month. Little information regarding

have appeared before the bureau said
their estimates had been challenged
as too high.
In calling for spending estimates.
Bell told department heads that
every possible effort should be made
to bring each item below the cor
responding appropriation for the fiscal
year 1887"
Some departments are known to
have expanded activities in mind,
however. and the final decision as to
whether these will be suggested to
Congress will rest with the President.
If the budget should be balanced
next year. it would be the first time
since 1880 that the Government had
lived within its income.

SAN FRANCISCO, November Il
The Transbay Bridge-completed ut
cost Of "a lives, 1,157 injuries and
SIT 200, ,000-will open Thursday to
committing motorists of San Francisco
and her sister cities.
For the first time In history San
Francisco will have solid footing to
supplement the ferry boats that ply
between the metropolis, Oakland and
other East Bay cities.
And commuters will save few min
utes daily-no one knows how many
yet-in the trip to and from their San
Francisco jobs.
Mayor Angelo Rossi telegraphed
President Roosevelt today asking him
to attend Thursdays ceremonies.
Costliest In World.
Builders Of the bridge say 1t Is the
costliest span in the world, although
its 11H-mile overall length is under
that Of the l4-mile Borough
Bridge in New York City.
Its suspension towers extend 500 feet
above and 200 feet below the bay sur
face. but they are not nearly 80 large
as those Of the Golden Gate Bridge
nearing completion . few miles away.
It spans the longest stretch Of navi-
gable water ever bridged-4h miles
and its actual length is 8H miles.
There are miles of approaches. The
bridge has 81 piers, a Of them under
salt water.
1t contains $4,000 tons Of steel and
1000, 900 cubic yards Of concrete,
enough, engineers say. to build IS
duplicates Of the 28-story Los Angeles
city hall.
Series Of Bridges.
1t Is expected to handle 12,600. 900
automobile passengers and 42,500, 900
interurban passengers annually.
Technically it Is q series Of bridges
laid end to end. The first two are
Francisco Embarcadero and Yerba
Buena Island in the bay.
This stretch was deemed too long
for one suspension bridge so they built
. great concrete block 282 feet above
the bay surface at the halfway point
and called it an anchorage. Suspen-
sion cables extend from 1t east and
west.
The bridge route leads through q
500-foot tunnel on Yerba Buena Island
to the east section, which is composed
of q cantilever span l.400 feet long.
S truss spans each 50s feet long and
II truss spans each 291 feet long.
Until some time in 1888 passengers
will be able to travel over this bridge
only by automobile. Interurban train
facilities will be installed meantime.
Pedestrians never will be permitted.
