Until they have heard Rachmaninoff play it. they have not truly heard Rachmaninoff's music. All the music he has written has established the wealth of his imagina tion, bis unique personality and his hold upon the public on both side3 of tho Atlantic. Mr. Rachmaniff la as Rachmaniff is able and eloquent a pianist with cert halls, Russian audiences nav honored and admired him as conductor of the concerts of the Imperial Opera House at Moscow.

FOUNDER OF INTERURBAN SYSTEM NARRATES ORIGIN OF ELECTRIC LINES IN INDIANA

a.-i,.- r., TVT,TviPnT T " TQn "j i INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 24. Back in the fall of 1897 .Charles L. Henry built 11 miles of electric railway track between Anderson and Alexandria, and began operations with a city car on Jan lf 1898 Partly in nonor o Mn Henry, the annual mid-year meet!mc of the American Klertric Kailwav association, embracing some, 800 elec trie railways, will be held in this city, on Feb. 28. Another reason for holding the meeting in Indianapolis is that Indianapolis is one of the great est interurban centers in the United States The future of the interurban so named by Mr. Henry will be among the main subjects for discussion at the February meeting. From the 11 miles of line, built almost 25 years ago, the "interurban industry" has grown into a big system, totaling some J8,ooo miles. "I got the idea for the name 'interurban,'" Mr. Henry says ';at the Chicago World's Fair. There was a small electric line running within the fair grounds there known as 'intramural,' meaning 'within walls.' Therefore, when the thoughtof running an electric line between cities occurred to me, I simply switched the name to the Latin 'interurban meaning between cities." Electric Line Ignored. Steam railroads, which later felt keenly the competition of the interurban, paid little attention to the interurban when it began operations. Mr. Henry, however, had some difficulty to obtain cooperation wlven he wanted it. The steam roads, he savs. declined to set Cars with rail nr nnlfa for him and also refused to nermit him to i

crews tracks. He had no right oflPP1 to fm the demand, the reseminent domain, but he knew that it!Pnse t0 the oiier of a free calendar was legal for him to cross the tracks I lhis 'ear was s heavy that the Diwhen he was hniMins- a nnhiir. hio-h. ! rector of the Bureau has had to ar-

ground that he built this line andj

afterward built a hundred miles more of interurban road. Lends $1C0,0CO Philip Matter, of Marion, lent Mr. Henry the first $100,000 with which to build his first interurban. This was all the money that was borrowed for that purpose, but soon after Georgo F. McCullough of Muncie, H. J. McGowan of Indianapolis, and Randall Morgan of Philadelphia, were interested by Mr. Henry. in the organization of the Lnion Traction company of Inine Ln,on l diana, and this group developed the present property of that name, includ ing the line between Anderson and Alexandria. Gradually this line was extended from Elwood to Marion and afterward to Indianapolis via Anderson. While Mr. Henry was a practicing attorney in Anderson for about 25 years he was active in real estate and business circles and became interested in local transportation in 1S91, when he bought the old mule line in Anderson for the purpose of extending it for factory developments. Later he electrified this line and eventually it became a part of his first interurban road. Mr. Henry now is president and general manager of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Traction company, which proposes to complete its road into Cincinnati.

NEW YORK IS TRYING , s TO DEFEAT CHICAGO " GRAND OPERA, CLAIM'

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 24 Samuel Insull. president of the new Civic Opera association conducting the Chicago grand opera company, speaking before the j annual meeting of the Friends of opera yesterday asserted that strict business economy is to make the methods of conducting the opera under the direotion of the new finance committee. He said that all contracts will be signed by him as chairman of the finance committee and by one other member of the committee and that no singer will be given a contract until after the $500,000 guarantee against a deficit next year has been raised. The new president referred only casually to the Muratore-Garden controversy and stated emphatically that he would take no part in it but told his listeners that if he cared to enter into the controversy he could tell much of the effects of high salaried artists having brainstorms. Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick who has sponsored opera in Chicago since its initiation cautioned that it Chicago failed to raise its guarantee the city would lose its present prestige in the operatic world and "a second rate provincial company would come from New York." "New York has been trying desperately all winter to defeat its, formidable rivals in the west," she said.
