’ [ WASHINGTON'S LIFE LAUDED TOMASONS Free of California Addresses Birthday Celebration in National Museum. Military and mathematical training were prime influences in the career of George Washington, Representative Arthur M. Frea of California said this morning in addressing Washington birthday anniversary exercises under the aus; s of the Advisory Board of Districe of Colmnbia Masonic Clubs at the National Museum auditorium. In portraying the greatness and hu- manity of Washington as an average man, Mr, Free said: “Outside of Hoover, I know of no genius in Washington political life." ; _ He said that the first President emu- lated his older brother in the military, and that he was the only member of the Second Continental Congress who appeared there habitually in uniform. Mr. Free told of Washington's youth- ful training in mathematics, the dis. semination of his influence as a prolific letter writer in preference to public debate, and how his Masonic affilia- tions helped mold his patriotism. Gen. Fries Presides. “The scavengers of history are dig- ging into the flith of the past,” de iclared Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, who presided at the meeting, in referring to those who seek to discredit national heroes. The invocation was pronounced by Dr. John C. Palmer, chaplain of the Grand Lodge of the District. Mrs. Mary Therier Bowie sang “The Star Spangled Banner” and the Almas ®emple Band played “America.” Fol- lowing the exercises at the Audi- torium, where the cherry blossom was adopted as the birthday symbol, repre- sentatives of the Masonic organiza- JEALOUSY OVER On Murch 8, 1791, George Washing- ton cams down from Philadelphia to note what progress was being made in laying out the site on the FPotomac selected for the National Capital.

Findin g the interests of the landholders about Georgetown and those of Carrollburg much at vari- ance and that their fears of each were counteracting the public purpose and might prove injurious to its best in- terests, while, if properly managed, they might be made to subserve it, 1 requested them to meet me at 6 o'clock this afternoon at my lodgings, which they did. To this meeting I :epre- sented that the contention in which they were engaged did not in my opin- fon” comport either with the pubiic interest or with my own: that while each party was aiming to obtain the public buildings they might by placing the matter on a contracted scale de- frat the measure altogether, not only by procrastination, but by want of mieans necessary to effect the work. “Neither the offer from Georgetown nor Carrollburg alone was adequate to the end of insuring the object; both together did not comprehend more ground nor offer greater means than was required for the Federal City: and instead of contending which of the two should have it they had bet- ter, by combining their efforts, make common cause and thereby secure it to the District.

The parties to whom I addressed myself yesterday evening, having taken the matter under con- sideration, saw the propriety of my observations and that while they were contending for the shadow they might lose_the substance, and therefore mu- tually agreed and entered into articles to surrender for public purposes one- half of the land they severally pos- Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 35 When by reason of iliness or absence from home additional time is re- quired for filing an income-tax return, application should be made to the col- lector of Internal revenue for the dis- trict In which the taxpayer files his return, together with a full recital of the causes for the delay. Except in the case of taxpayers who are abroad, no extension may be granted for more than six months. The request must be e before the return is due— March 15, 1927, if the return is made on the calendar year basis. An extension of time for filing the return does not extend the time for payment of the tax, or any installment thereof, unless so specified in the ex- tension. The commissioner of internal revenue may extend the time of pay- ment of the amount determined as the tax by the taxpayer, or any install- ment thereof, for a period not to ex- ceed six months from the prescribed date. Application for such an extension should be made to the commissioner through the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer's return is filed, who will make proper record thereof, ‘and forward it immediately to the commis- sioner. The application should set forth under oath the specific reason for desiring an extension, and should clearly indicate what hardship, if any, would result if the extension were not granted. The commissioner will not consider an application for an exten- slon unless made on or before the due date of the tax or installment thereof for which the extension is desired. A request for an extension of time for payment of one installment does not operate to procure an extension for payment of subsequent installments. If the extension is granted, interest at the rate of 6 per cent a year is added from sthe date the payment should have been made if the exten- slon had not been granted until the expiration of the period of the exten- sion, REAL ESTATE LOANS BUSINESS, APARTMENT, CHURCH, HOTEL, THEATER, RESIDENCE AND GARAGE PROPERT!

Carpenter Is Award- ed Interloctuory Decree. Justice James F. Smith, who has presided in Equity Court in the ab- sence of Justice Stafford, yvesterday signed an interlocutory decree an- nuling the marriage of Mary Elizabeth Carpenter of Burtonsville, Md., and John A. Carpenter, which took place at Ellicott City, Md., June 30, 1913. In the wife's suit for annulment it was alleged that Carpenter had a lawful wife Jiving from whom he was undivorced at the time of their cere- mony. It developed that the._ first wife of Carpenter did not procure a divorce from him until November of 1917, according to the bill. Mrs. Car- penter, No. 2, originally filed suit for limited divorce in the Equity Court, believing that her marriage was le- gal, and to this action Carpenter filed a cross-bill, asking a divorce on statutory ‘grounds. After proof w. adduced of the circumstances con- cerning the marriage, Justice Smith declined to hear evidence on the charges of misconduct for the pur- poses of divorce, but heard testimony on the flitness of Mrs. Carpenter to have custody of four children, In the decree awarded Mrs. Carpen- ter she is allowed to have custody of the children. Carpenter is directed to support them and pay court costs and fees. Attorney Raymond Neu- decker appeared for Mrs. Carpentas, ASKS AMERICAN NAME. Naturalized Citizen Seeks Change to Stokes. Alfred P. Dachnowski, 4449 Green- wich Parkway, asked the Distri Supreme Court yesterday to change his name to Stokes. He also seeks to change the name of his wife and two children. The petitioner says the name is difficult to pronounce and as he is now an American citizen he would like an American name. He is represented by Attorney Edwina V. A. Avery. Charles Alfred Vincent Jewel yes- terday filed a petition to change his name to Griffith. He tells the court that following a disagreement with members of his family he had his name changed from Griffith to Jewel. He has become reconciled with his family, he states, and wishes now to resume his original name. Attorney Jacob 8. Detwiler appears for the petitioner. NO ‘MAIL DELIVERIES.

Every great artist, who is also a composer, has his own composition that is a favorite with the public and which that public is disappointed if it {does not hear some time during every |concert appearance of the artist in iestion. Paderewski “Min- " Kreisler fias his Vien- nois,” Rachmaninoff has his “C' Sharp Minor Prelude.” Yesterday afternoon when Mr. Rachmaninoff gave his an- {nual Washington concert before his {usual standing-room-only audience, the entire program was but a pro- {longed prelude for most of the audi- fe o to that moment when, as 1;15\ the |very last of his thres encores, form chords that announce and L i of the “Prelude in C Sha ause as different in quality from all appl ous numbersas a sudden Spring flood |of sunshine is fter gray March davs It is a remarkadly satisfying compost tio: this prelude, beautiful with maj v that is not pompous, melodi- ous in a dignified vein, and never Juite so understandingly played = as under the fingers of its composer. It was quite evident that this was the opinfon of the aundience at large yes- terday afternoon. ‘Tho great Beethoven, who is so con- stantly honored this centenary of his death year, was given first place on the program. The “Sonata, Opus 26, was the work presented. With its | funeral motive presented in a manner which seemed to have a wistful, philosophical atmosphers, it was an arresting selection. Always _the holar, Mr. Rachmaninoff gave those ho delight most in the technical ex- cellence of his genius rare satisfaction in his interpretation of the Schumann Studes Symphonique.” He put much color into the difficult work, yet the elusive lyricism of Schumann was not the dominating quality in his reading. The real climax of beauty was the Brahms. Mr. Rachmaninoff played both the “Intermezzo, Opus 118, and “Ballade.” The shading of tonal qual- ities, the roundness in the pianissimo effects, the soaring lightness of the themes, all were smphasized under this master pianist’s hands. 8 Of the Chopin group the gay, friv- olous “Rondo,” for all its artificiali- ties, was an unusually pleasing num- bor with erystal cascades of notes that invite superlatives for descrip. tion. In the encores the first was Chopin’s “Waltz in E Minor,” also unusually played. The quaintness and pictorial qual- Ates of Medtner's “Fairy Tales” (F minor, opus 26, and B minor, opus 20) delighted many. In these and in his own “Prelude,” which followed, Mr. Rachmaninoff seemed to desert the scholarly and become delightfully human in his playing. The brilliant intricacies of the Liszt “Rakoczy March” were dashed off with surety as the final scheduled number. The *hopin waltz, Mr. Rachmaninoff’s own arrangement of the Russian folk melody, “Hopak,” written as a song by Moussorgsky, and the famous pre- lude, were the escores. THE RESPIGHI PROGRAM. Ottorino Respighi, Italian composer, planist and accompanist extraordi- nary, was honored with appreciative applause as he appeared n each of these capacities last night before an invited audience of musicians and music lovers in a gsogram presented in the chamber music auditorium of the Congressional Library, under the auspices of the Klizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. Mr. Respighi, who made his debut before a local audience last year as guest conductor of the Philadelphia ,ymphony Orchestra, when his “Plnes of Rome” and other compositions were given their local premiere, increased i ing abilities in_those who heara the works presented last night. The program opened with * Sonata in' B Minor for Violin and Piun~” Wolfe Wolfinsohn, first violinist of the Lenox String Quaset, stringed instrument; the composer was at the plano. Mr. Respighi has the short-fingered, square hand of a pianist and a fascinating and individual touch The piano is undoubtedly his instru ment, and it seemed as the sonata progressed that he had written almost a pilano solo with violin obbligato. However, this rather uneven division may have been due to the fact that Mr. Wolfinsohn’s style of violin play- ing was not of the same caliber as Mr, Respighi's piano work—it seemed lighter. In the second movement, Mr. Woif- insohn achieved some especially warm, mellow passages; this seemed the most poetic of the movements, The swift- ness and indepenaence of the piano part in the first movement, moderato, did not seem to make so good a dialog between the instruments as this more romantic second movement. The pas- sacaglia was of a timber that the sheer value of the music itself dominated both instruments. There is not a lit- tle material for reminiscent filin shows several “influences,” yet it is a lovely work.

Home Resident Divides Savings Among Brother and Sisters. | The will of Otto Lindorff, a resident of the Soldiers’ Home, was filed yes- terday for probate. He names the treasurer of the home as executor and directs that he distribute the money on deposit at the Washington Loan and Trust Co. to his brother, Albert B.

She is also named as executrix. been given a second hearing last night |to further emphasize its distinctly | Respighi qualiti The only other instrumental num- ber was “Quartetto Dorico,” in_one movement, played by the Lenox Quar- tet—Mr. Wolfinsohn, first violin; Ed- win Ideler, second violin; Herbert Borodkin, viola, and Emmeran Stoeber, violoncello. This work is a queer mu- sical patchwork guflt. In the early part it shows reassuring classicism and development of melodious themes that soar harmoniously to real heights, then, all of a sudden there come tum- bling alarming diseonances and dis- cords down from the helghts to the level of a whistling peanut stand after some lovely intermediate passages in pizzicato for the cello followed by the viola, which were exquisitely played. The work ends with safe and sane har- monic chords. The indications are that this quartet s a work that requires lengthy rehearsal to get the many sage for clear articulation. Signora Elsa Respighi, wife of the composer, who has a charming pres- ence, a sweet mezzo-soprano voice and individual style In singing, sang two groups of songs. The first group. com- positions by her husband, included very lovely and original songs. The second of the group, “Stornellatcice,” Nebbie,” were The others were almost wholly unfamiliar. The second and third of the group, “Nevicata” and “Noelancien,” were transposed in the position of their presentation. They were both especially well re- ceived by the audience. The last en- core, one of the most beautiful of all the numbers, was “Bella Porta di Ru- bini*” The accompaniments of these songs seem perfectly wedded to the themes and Mr. Respighi played them exquisitely. In the second group of colorful Ital- jan folk songs arranged by Mr. Res. pighi the glib “Tarantella Siciliana’ so delighted the audience that it was repeated. The final encore was an- other “Canto Siciliano.” It was interesting to find Mr. Res- pighi, after the concert, with enthusi- asm over his newest orchestral com- position, which he says is called “A Church Window,” and which he will conduct in Boston shortly in its pre- Lolf the maps. complexities of the composer’s mes- | = ALEXANDRIA PLANS FOR EXHIBIT HERE Neighboring Commerce Body to Take Part in Local Industrial Show.

Alexandria Chamber of Commerce officials have had the question of repre- sentation in the Washington exhi- bition under consideration for several weeks. An invitation was sent by President Lecse to Claude W. Fletcher, president of the Alexandria chamber. After being given careful study by leaders of the Alexandria commercial body, the project was submitted to its board of directors. The proposal was fndorsed by that group and the sacretary directed to co-operate in working out a plan for actual partici- pation.
