THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND 8UX-TELEGRA3I, FRIDAY XOVE3IBER 29, 1912.

WILSON WILL CALL LEADERSJOGETHER To Confer on Cabinet Appointments and Legislative Program.

IS TO AVOID FRICTION One of the Central Figures at the Meeting Will Be Wm. J. Bryan. (National News Association) HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 29. A national gathering of Democratic leadera for discussion of cabinet appointments and a national legislative program) to be held soon after the return of President-elect Wilson to the United States is the plan now under consideration by the next president, it was learned here today. Governor Wilson is said to favor this in order to prevent jealousy on the part of any one man or faction. In such a "convention" all leaders will meet on a level. William Jennings Bryan is to be one of the central figures at the big conference, Governor Wilson admitting today that he had written Mr. Bryan inviting him to a conference at the end of the present vacation trip. " The report that Mr. Bryan would come to Bermuda were branded as the president-elect as "nonsensical." STREET STORIES Just to show that young people are of warmer blood than old: "Mr. Markley will you kindly raise the windows; it's very warm in here," courteously asked a young attorney of the court bailiff in the circuit court room the other morning. Mr. Markley walked to a thermometer, glanced at it and answered: "It is exactly the same temperature now as it was a few minutes ago when :ah older attorney complained of it being too cold." The Theaters One of the best concerts of its sort ever heard in this city was given yesterday afternoon, and repeated in the "evening, at the Gennett Theater, by the Cates' Saxophonic, Symphonic band. With four Instruments these musicians gave a Tschaikowsky number the overture, "1812" Solenelle with extraordinary verisimilitude, getting convincing orchestral effects from their manipulation of the saxophones, an achievement, under the circumstances, which calls for high commendation. "The Second Hungarian Rhapsody," by Liszt, and the familiar "Poet and Peasant" overture, were handled with eclat as was the overture from "William Tell." The solo numbers of Mr. Frank Cates on the cornet, with a saxophone and clarinet accompaniment; and of Mr. Walter H. Cate on the saxophone were interesting, the latter especially, since the composition presented, "The Witches' Dance," by Paganini, was written for the violin and is accounted difficult for that instrument, Mr. Cates .Interpreting it with remarkable string effects. That much tortured instrument, the xylophone, was heard at its apogee at this time, the four musicians giving an exhibition of virtuosity as interesting as it was musically alluring, presenting the overture from Offenbach's "Orpheus," and that from "Morning, Noon and Night," by Suppe. The concerts were, altogether, of a superior order and it is regrettable that the audiences were not larger. No doubt crowded houses would have greeted a slap-stick farce. It was too much to expect for something good. E. G. W. Sheridan' Great Comedy. "The School For Scandal" was first produced at the Drury Lane theater on April 8. 1777.

WHAT

Is a More Fluid Civic Consciousness which Should Show Us that Everything Possesses Its Relative Importance. Maennerchor a Musical Asset.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Everything is interesting. All is important. So goes the poetic philosophy of "the good grey poet.'; Walt Whitman, while a Personality rather than a Poet, and whose alleged poetic product outraged poetic form and convention, and who is sometimes unspeakably gross, still did the world a service. By daring to be natural. In singing the song of Life. And singing it through its entire repertoire. But chiefly by emphasizing that All is significant. The least of All and the greatest. This is something that is gradually permeating the American civic conscience. That every element of a community is equally as important as every other element. That we cannot continue to segregate ourselves in churches, social sets and organizations, as did the old barons in their castles through the medium of the moat and drawbridge. That we cannot maroon ourselves within our environ. Nor anchor ourselves within the walls of personality. For always you touch some one. No one can live wholly to himself. But the mellowing and enlightening influence of a catholic view of life cannot be discounted. Nor its value to citizenship. To be concrete it would have been a good thing if the concert given by the Richmond Maennerchor in St. John's hall Wednesday evening had been attended by representatives of every phase of life in the town. For this affair was not only entertaining but significant. Musically significant although there were other aspects which were far from being minor and which were emphasized in the news columns of this paper yesterday. While the appearance of Mr. Louis Shenk, the well known concert singer, in a group of German Lieder, gave the occasion musical eclat the most Interesting numbers on the program were the ensembles. Here was a group of inconspicuous citizens not publicly affiliated with the better known musical interests of the town who showed astonishing musical acumen and who followed the direction of their conductor with precision and fidelity. Their crescendos, their interpretation of the color of the composition, their phrasing and their appreciation of musical light and shade, were, considering their lack of technical training, extraordinarily good. But it was the "punch," as they say in the vaudeville theaters, which made the effects. That is, it was the vivacity and spirit and the good-honest feeling inject ed into the musical veins of the com positions presented which "carried over." Here are again illustrated the virtues of the German temperament. A genius for thoroughness, a huge capacity for intellectual and artistic digestion, a lack of self-consciousness and a determination to excel. The spectacle was interesting. Here was a group of our best citizens, although engaged in the less conspicuous occupations of the communi ty, interpreting musical compositions of the first water with intelligence and appreciation of the artistic effects to be achieved. Making no claim to exalted accomplishment. j Merely showing a disposition to learn. And by the way of the latter route achieving. The program was brief. Opening with the singing of a German patriotic air with two other recorded numbers and an encore. But it gave them an opportunity to show what they could do and what their conductor could do with them. Mr. Will Duning, Jr., is to be congratulated over his accomplishment. He has taken a lot of absolutely virgin vocal material and molded It into attractive shape. There are still rough corners to be rounded, surfaces to be smoothed, con tours to be worked out, elevations to be minimized, depressions to be projected upward. But the material is malleable. And the sculptor understands his medium. Mr. Duning. in short, has musically "licked into shape" material which one less determined and enthused might have regarded at first as unpromising. And this medium through which the community can hear German classics, or the moderns, interpreted in the language in which they were written, is of inestimable value. All the students in the German department of the public high school, in instance, would have been benefitted by an. attendance on such'a songfest. And this is said with a full appreciation of the present accomplishment of the Maennerchor. Mr. Duning is modest in his claims for this organization. And the members are equally so. But the fact of their first public performance to which the community in entirety had the entrance is a significant one in the musical life of the town. That portion of the public which did not attend missed, in the second part of the program one of the best amateur theatrics seen in this town for many a long day. The members of the Maennerchor, as stated in the news accounts in German costume, impersonated the personnel of a village orchestra in rehearsal for a wedding serenade. Mr. Duning, in his role of conductor, did one of the cleverest pieces of burlesque the writer has ever seen on the amateur or professional stage and the

WE HEED

I others threw themselves into the spirit J of the thing with fine eclat. It was capitally done, in fact. But Its charm lay In its restraint. While it was a travesty it was not exaggerated. The delicious humour of the thing was never obscured. It was a fine line to draw. And one easily over-stepped. But at no time was it overstepped. This, in amateur presentation, is an achievement. The next appearance of the Maennerchor will be looked forward to with interest and will no doubt call for a larger auditorium than that in which the entertainment was held last evening. And certainly felicitations should be extended to Mr. Duning and the members of the organization for what they have done and for the promise of greater accomplishment in the future.

An Italian suspected of the assault was dismissed after he proved an alibi today. Hall was in the district north of the railroad and there met the man whose name he is unable to give the police. They got into an argument, and the stranger drew a knife and slashed Hall's hand so severely that twentytwo stitches were taken by a physician. RIDE ENDS FATALLY (National News Association) CHICAGO, Nov. 29. Roy Terry, 20 years old, accused of stealing an automobile, died today following a ride he took in the machine. The automobile collided with a street car on Wednesday.

COMPETITION CONTEST ?

WOLGASTJERY SORE And Claims He Was Robbed of Victory.

("National Xews Association) SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29. Crying "robbery" and nursing the bruised portions of his body. Ad Wolgast, champion lightweight of the world until his trimming by Willie Ritchie yesterday, today issued a statement. Ritchie and Referee James Griffin also had their say when they learned what Wolgast had said. The statements follow: By Ad Wolgast: "Referee Griffin stole the championship from me. I did not hit Ritchie a foul blow, and if I had been allowed to continue I could have gone through the round all right. I was rapidly recovering from the punch that toppled me over. All I ask is that Ritchie give me a chance to win back the title " By Willie Ritchie: "I landed a blow on Wolgast's stomach in the eighth round that convinced me I was going to win the fight. Wolgast was In pain and his blows did not have the same effect after that . I had Wolgast at my mercy when he fouled me and would have finished him before the round ended." By Referee James Griffin: "I had nothing to do but disqualify Wolgast. The foul blow he landed was a vicious one and clearly incapacitated Ritchie. I could not see that either man had any advantage up to the sixteenth round." Sporting Gossip George Carpenter, who recently lost a battle to Bill Papke, will meet Marcel Mareau in Paris Jan. 15.
