KINDER GIVES
fine TOUCH TO
SANDERS SUITE
MiSCha EIman SoIoiSt
With Symphony
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

An American novelty that i'm
mediately persuaded a group OF
the composers fellow countrymen
Of its eloquence and logic and
made a popular success despite its
serious purpose and its utter lack
Of concession to anything re-
sembling the light, obvious or
pleasing, became the feature of the
National Symphony's program in
Constitution Hall last night.
This is the suite by Robert San
ders, Of Chicago, entitled Scenes
Of Poverty and Toll" Like some
of the movements of Vaughan Will
liams' London" symphony, it sets
sordid scenes to music. Bread
Line" Sweat Shop" Lame Beg.
gar" "Wanton," and Street
Gang" are the titles Of the sepa-
rate movements, each q grim and
vivid picture Of human suffering.
REALISTIC PLUS
Sanders does not depend upon
dissonant harmonies and strident
orchestral effect to tell his story.
He has invented some strange and
biting melodies, and notably in
the bread line" and street
walker" scenes are subjected to
highly effective development.
What results Is drama of action
as well as Of sound, with strong
musical ideas as protagonists and
woodworking color to paint the
scene.
DR.. Kinder gave the new work
q great reading and the audience
reacted as it does only when the
entire public senses the importance
Of the event. There were many
recalls and the conductor finally
called upon the orchestra to share
the applause.
MISCHA ELMAN SOLOIST
The second outstanding success
Of the evening also was earned by
young American. He is Albert
Upton, the National Symphony's
new first flutist. His assignment
was the difficult obb1igato of the
Bach B Minor Suite which he pre-.
sented with pleasant tone and ad-
mirable style while the enlarged
string body of the orchestra traced
its counterpart in sturdy, well
modulated tone.
The evenings Soloist was Mischa
Elrnan in the Beethoven violin
concerto. This was an uneven
performance, marred, just before
the close by lapse of memory,
which conductor and soloist GOV.
cred so well that 1t probably passed
unnoted by many.
CADENZAs TOO LONG
Who can explain how such 40
cidents happen to a virtuoso who
has justly held the admiration Of
the public since he made his debut
in 1908. Let the memory of many
inspiring performances during
those three decades efface this I'M
happy moment, for it was no more
than that, though doubtless trag.
edy to the virtuoso.
The cadenzaS were Elman's own
and they make imposing display
of virtuosity without infringing
upon the musical Importance Of
the masterpiece, except in the mat
ter of length. Perhaps he will cut
them later.

Council Votes Against
 Light Rate Reduction

No reduction in the present rate structure of the city light plant. was the unanimous decision reached by the city council Saturday night af- ter a final conference with ". J. Mcintosh. municipal division mana ger of the Pacific Northwest for Fairbanks Morse Company. who three years ago arranged the financ- ing for the new plant.
 Mr. Mcintosh recommended gradual reduction in residential and commercial rate structures, starting with reductions now which based upon 1887 records would lower rev enues of the light department ap- proximately $500 for the coming year. Unless the general funds could stand by the city's contract to pay for street lighting and other muni- cipal uses, MT. Mcintosh was reluct- ant to advise more drastic reduc- tions at this time.
 The council, in view of the un- certainty facing Wrangell and the possibility that general funds will be greatly reduced, decided that it would be imprudent to lower rates at this time. The small reduction possible without payment of street lighting was held to be too small to matter. Later if the present econ omic outlook brightens, and can neries run as usual with the assur- ance of normal payrolls and reven7 ues into the towns general fund, the trend of discussion indicated that the council will reconsider the matter and lower the rates as much as possible. Under present conditions the light plant is not passing on it's surplus earnings to the people in the form of reduced light rates.
 However, MT. Mcintosh told the the council, the $9,627.72 which the general fund owes the light plant, has not been lost; it has been used for the benefit of the town right along. It's disbursement has gone into treets, floats, fire depart ment, and all the various depart ments of city organization.
 The obligation, nevertheless, ex- ists and while it is improbable that the back payments will be made for some time, the council members hope that payment of present bills may be started soon.

Council AppreCiatiVe Of Help From Engineer

In conference with the city council Saturday night, ". J. Me- Intosh of Fairbanks, Morse 6 Com pany who was here the greater part of the past two weeks in an advisory capacity for the city light plant. presented a number Of suggestions for improved service and administration of the light de- paFtment. He advised immediate repair of the 120 hp. engine as it's condition is such that it's break down is imminent
 The little engine is put into se-y- ice each night from 12.30 to 6 80 and it is needed in the eannery season to augment the new engine bought three years ago. He went into detail about the need of a new distribution system just as soon as the department can afford it. offer ing as exhibits to support his con- tention. several specimens of the lines now in use, each an example of distributing system sins" The need of new transformers was ex- pIained.
 He also advised immediate finish ing of the light plant building, as the cement surface is being ruined through the need of a protecting stucco finish.
 Administrative practices he ad- yised corrected included use of re- ha al yTo office for all purchases by light plant employees, iron clad require ment of connection and discOnnec- tions through the clerks office, and various ways in which cordial rela- tions between the light department and consumer could be promoted
 Before adjournment the mayor and council members expressed their sincere appreciation of the service MT. Mcintosh had rendered in his visit here. He has smoothed out many phases of contention and pointed the way to greater effic- iency of the plant and increased service to the people.
 Wrangell is one of the smallest of the 400 cities owning light plants, financed and serViced by Fairbanks, Morse and Company, yet the council is united in feeling that MT. Mcintosh patiently. used his knowledge and experience in the problems of the little local plant with just as much science and concern as if it represented one of the major investments of his company.
 The vote of thanks rendered him was far from being a matter of perfunctory courtesy, but express ed deep personal appreciation and acknowledgement of his services.

Wrangell Returning To Republican Party Fold

Compilation made this week from Wrangell Sentinel files of primary elections held in Wrangell precinct since 1918 shows Wrangell as a Re publican stronghold with the exeen- tion of 1918 and 1886.
 The file plainly states that only Republican ballots were cast in 1922 In 1928 and 1880 there is no mention made Of Democratic votes and the inference is that none were cast.
