The good offices of. the police: were sought today by William Ching, newly elected pacifist- president of the Hip Sing Tong, to prevent trouble from brewing in Chinatown over an in- cident in which a Hip Sing Tong interpreter was spat upon by an ad- herent of the On Leong faction.

The pupils of the Washington Col- lege of Music Monday evening at the Central High School gave the fortieth in a serles of concerts.

The string ensemble fnnovation oroved decidedly suce ful with four hands at the piano, and the har- monium giving the wood wind color, especially in the first number, Men- delssohn’s “Fingal's Cave” overture, played with excellent effect. The other numbers were the Woodforde- Finden “Indian Love Lyrics,” intel- ligently played, and the Saint-Saens “Le Deluge” prelude, for which the violin solo was played by Rena Greenberg. Another innovation was the first| appearance of the repertoire class of | the college in choruses and solos from the “Chimes of Normandy. Norman Goldman, one of the vounger violinists of Washington, | was successful in giving to the some- what hackneyed Raff “Cavatina” real interest and value, and was heard | with mych effect against the back- ground of the orchestra in Caesar Cui's “Orientale Edgar Kidwell's baritone numbers, three salt water ballads by Keel, were well received Emily Mann and Sara Becker' were effective in brilllant plano solos. | Fritz Maile played a, romance by | Stringer, instead of the number an- | nounced’ for Flora Claxton. Miss | Moffat’s soprano solos completed a | program of sustained interest, in which not the least part of the en- joyment of the audience was drawn from the fact that the numbers car- ried the individual expression of the | performers, rather than the trans- mitted technique of the instructors.
