trolled bow. Although Kreisler has
comparatively recently made a more
attractive arrangement Of this
famed concerto, giving the orches-
ira fuller and more lyrical moments,
the older arrangement played by
Mr.. Renardy is still the supreme
test of a violinist's ability.
A strong, resonant tone, pure in
tonation, q complete mastery OF
such intricacies as true harmonics,
and fleet, clear double stops round
out the virtuoso gifts Of the young
artist. He plays in broad fashion
and with authority. The Paganini
concerto and the "Sonatina" by the
same composer, which was inter-
polated in the second half of the
program and repeated after its ini-
tial success, are primarily show
pieces destined to set the stamp on
a violinist's technical proficiency
and finish, but they make no de-
mands on emotional expression
What Mr.. Renardy could do in this
line remains to be seen but his
dazzling performance last evening
revealed a master violonist such as
only occasionally stirs the public. It
would be interesting to hear the
young artist in a program that gave
him more latitude.

latter was full of contrast, deep and
warm in spirit and clean cut in form.
A regard for the Intervening Of
orchestral voices, for shading and
for a constant aliveness and crisp
ness of execution give power to his
performance. The two bits of Wag-
ner's music, the Prelude and Love-

 Compensation was not mentioned or discussed at that session, the wit ness said. He reiterated that the funds he received he "just took what Williamson handed out" He also claimed that Williamson had hired him, whereas Williamson maintain ed in his testimony that he was se- condary to Mackenzie in the tram sections.
 It was on his second appearance before the grand jury that the witt ness perjured himself, he said.
 Mackenzie, former labor coHn- missioner and former prohibition commissioner, testified that in De- cember, 1897, he called Daniel J. Leary in Waterbury at the request of williamson and arranged a meeting at the Danbury courthouse, December p,

 sLeary didn't seek an interview with you?" asked Murray.
 "No," was the reply.
 "It was Williamson who urged you to call Leary?"
 That's true," said Mackenzie, Charlie was. scared to death to come to Waterbury ...I wasn't afraid. I thought 1t was ridiculous" 1" At the meeting in Danbury, he said, Leary didn't know just what was going to happen, but he seemed in good spirits.

 Mackenzie saidS that Leary said something about some records being missing, and he didn't know who took them" Concerning the situation, Mackenzie told the grand jury T don't care what happend." The missing records, according to Leary, consisted of boxes of vouch- CTS and cancelled checks.
 Again, at this point in his Grand Jury testimony, Mackenzie ad- mitted inconsistencies with regard to his statement that he did not know until the Danbury meeting that Williamson was signing checks and vouchers in return for fees.
 "It was incorrect" admitted Mack enzie concerning that grand jury.
 That's rather a soft way of put ting it." commented Murray.

 Particular criticism was voiced by dissenters against MT. Roosevelt's assertion that chances of war would remain high unless and until Eur opean peoples break the bonds of the ideas which constrain them toward perpetual warfare"
 That was interpreted by such senators as Robert R. Reynolds, D., N. O., and Walter F. George, D.. Ga., as "meddling" by the presi- dent in the internal affairs of for- eign nations and an implied mvi- tation to the peoples of these na- tions to revolt against their rulers.
