Noted Chinese Buccaneers Executed in Hongkong. HONGKONG, March 2 (®).—Two of the numerous pirates that for years have preyed upon the ships along the Chinese coast were executed here today. The pair, together with two other buccaneers under death sentence, staged a sensational but unsuccessful attempt to escape from prison yestes day. The four were captured last vember when the British steamer Sunning, having been pirated, was res- cued by the timely arrival of the gun- boat Bluebell.

The Philadelphia Symphony Or- chestra presented its fourth concert of the current season at the Wash- ington Auditorium yesterday after- noon. Leopold Stokowskl, leader of the organization, who was on his va- cation the last’ time the orchestra played in Washington, when a guest conductor directed, has returned to wave the baton with that peculiar graciousness and power' that are his alone over this orchestra. True, Mr. Stokowski was handicapped with a still severe case of neuritis in right arm, so that he conducted with | his left, but the baton quivered just|| as eloquently in the left as in his|| 1t hand I Also, the Philadelphia players never || showed finer co-ordination and thor- ough oneness with their leader than || well deserved the ovation that they | well deserved the ovation that th as well as Mr. Stokowski received at| the conclusion of every number on' the unusually vivid, varled program. | To add the final touch to a gen- buoyant occasion, Mr. Sto- 's_transcription of Johann Se- bastian Bach's “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" was the supreme ‘hievement of the afternoon. This in its original organ form is| brilliant, seintillating music. As an || orchestral work, Mr. Stokowski pre- served its dominant organ qualities, and each department of the orchestra responded to its part in portraying | the different voices nuals In a_huge organ. The effect awe-inspiring in its power and || eral kow it The strings and woodwinds were specially fine; the 'cellos and bass-| added their voices. In exceilent ntrast was the Bach choralvorsplel “Ich ruf” zu dir, Herr Jesu Chris exquisitely deli and _ spirituelle. There was cel v no dull_dryness to a single moment of this Bach. It was remarkably satisfying music, given with all the skill in interpreta: tion that a former organist and lover || of Bach could put into it. George Frederic Handel was given first place on the program with his overture in D minor, well played and || followed by the lovely “Water Music.” which might well be heard more fre- quently in Washington. The two De- bussy nocturnes, “Nuages” and s were quite as intriguing as usual and beautifully interpreted. A fascinating modern touch was pro- vided in_the “Spanish Rhapsody” by Ravel. The sophisticated charm of this music suffered slightly from the vital strength of the Bach that had preceded it; possibly it would have had enhanced effectiveness had the order been reversed. At any rate, Ravel's work showed a real musical message expressed lucidly through the medium of modern ideas in harmony and musical phrasing, a combination rare and exceedingly gratifying. The Habanera was particularly interesting and it was amusing to watch the ef- fect of this very rhythmic music on musicians in a classical symphonic organization: they swayed In response to its call for moton in the same way but an unexaggerated degree, as jazz musicians act when playing their es. sentially rhythmic music. | The whole program proved ab- sorbingly interesting, and the audience was warm in its applause.
