NEW YORK, December 3.—Infor- Shuay 1n "gratt Trom Hoket’ spcue anny icket specu- miu been received by Isidor counsel at an inquiry into llu'mnm' Courts. Representatives of three agencies have told Kresel that patrolmen col- lected $5 a day from some 200 specula- tors for the privilege of hawking their wares in front of theaters and other amusement places. In spite of this, Kresel heard, many ?eouh were arrested and their lckets confiscated. Usually the tickets ‘went to the clerks of the courts in which they were arraigned in return for discharges, he was told. Hyman Bushel, a lawyer and former magistrate, has questioned by Kresel relative to a charge that he had received a $7,000 fee from “fence” some years ago. The payee, charged with recelving stolen goods, subse- quently was freed in Magistrates’ Court. “Chile” Mapocha Acuna, who has previously testified to a vice graft ring of police, lawyers and bondsmen, was recalled for the resumption of public today.

ROME, December 3.—The Jesuit Or- & dlf, in iis beautiful baroque Church of the Gesu, this morning solemnly com- memorated one of its most famous members, St. Francis Xavier, mission- ary to India and Japan.

C., WEDNESDAY Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capltal s Programs. Brilllant OFIlIn‘ Of Beethoven Festival. HORTLY after 8:20 last night Serge Koussevitzky walked out onto the stage-platform of Constitution Hall and amid a thundering _applause, Which showed how keenly the large au- dience had been anticipating such a thing, officially began the Beethoven festival. Dr. Koussevitzky and the Boston Orchestra, guest artists for this four-day _cele- bration of the Beethoven fiftieth century anniversary, were awarded the tribute of applause of the mighty. And de- servedly so. It is one thing to hear Beethoven on a program given by a good symphony or- | chestra. It is another thing to hear Koussevit- zky and the Boston Orchestra do it. For what- ever its leader puts his mind and hand to seems to come forth several per cent better than what one had expected. And so last night when Dr. Koussevitzky raised his hands and the overture to Goethe's “Egmont” began its none too lengthy course there was evident in the music every- thing that had been heard time and time again—plus that certain some- thing that has placed the Boston Orchestra in the front row of symphonic societies. Koussevitzky commanded his men, rather than cajoled or wheedled them. He sang with them—as those who are far enough on one side and near enough to see what is going on must know. He seemed to be telling each instrument just what its busi- ness was and why, and he injected the breath, life and power info the Beethoven compositions that might have surprised even the composer himself. Of Goethe Beethoven once said: “He is grand, majestic, always in D major.” And that, last night, seemed to define the entire per- Myra Hess. formance—barring the literalness of the key. Koussevitzky was grand, ‘-h! Goethe overture was grand, the “Eroica” symphony was majestic— it a trifie long for the climax of a program—and the soloist, Myra Hess—but that is another story. Miss Hess was very much of a sensation last night. In fact, it seemed as if hardly ever before— except the still memorable Paderew- ski concert of last week—has there been such a warm response given an artist. She played the “Concerto for Planoforte No. 4,” in G major, opus 58, with sheer brilliance. Espe- cially in the third movement, the “rondo vivace,” did she seem to sweep all before her, playing not with a light, finicky touch, but with a force and an overtone of glamour that struck wonder and amazement into her listeners. When it was all ovir she was applauded and ap- plauded and was kept bowing for almost as long a time as she had been playing. A really amazing performance. Afterward, even such a veteran composition as the “Eroica” sym- phony seemed slightly long, and the images of Napol:con which shouid have been conjured up were replaced by the chords of Miss Hess still lingering in the mind’s eye. Although the “Eroica” was done more than Jjustice to by Dr. Koussevitzky and his men, it came so late in the day it seemed to lose something in its performance, and the “gusts of wind” that sweep through it seemed very mild indeed. At tonight’s continuation of the gala Beethoven week Efrem Zim- balist will be the soloist—besides, of course, Koussevitzky and the Boston Drchfsh'a bot 01 lhom ahould be Andiron and Fireplace Fixtures At Prices That Save You Money Fries, Beall & Sharp 734 10th St. N.W.

M. Fisk Jubilee Singers In Splendid Recital. NY persons who prior to the ap- pearance of the Fisk Jubilee Singers last night had any doubts as to their excellence must be con- vinced by now. This sextet of Negro artists appearing at Howard Uni- versity as a part of the music-lec- ture seres, sponsored by that uni- versity, were given an ovation by an audience that filled the Andrew Rankin Memorial Hall to over- flowing. i Pre-eminent in the fleld of en- semble singing and descendants of the original exponents of Negro spirituals, this group, composed of two women and four men, Anna Goodwin, Carl Barbour, Luther King, Jerome Wright, Ludie Collins and Mrs. James Myers, demonstrated their art to a point near perfection. Each is a gifted singer. Frock-coat- ed though they may be, they are the bewildered and enslaved chil- dren of the song. When they sing this music of the plantations one feels the plaintive call of the pious African, groping toward the God of another race. Alive with subtle blending, these mellow voices had a softness and warmth of tone that carried even in the faint passages. They were s l)elwers Balance Next Year DECEMBER 3, 1930. : ) 3 .
