A NEW YORK, December 11.—Merger cf seven of the largest concert bureaus in America is announced today by the Columbia Broadcasting System which a year ago formed an alliance with the Paramount Publix Corporation and which now extends its operations to a field in which a great majority of the ! finest musical artists of the world are lengaged. The Columbia Brcadcasting | ‘System now has 76 radio stations. | ‘The merger is described by the in- terests involved as the most important step ever taken ,in the musical field since its inception in this country. The aew organization, the Columbia Concerts | Corporation, will set out on January 1| to better the musical situaticn in vir- tually every important city in the country, as well as assist conditions | surrounding artists themselves. The merged organizations have long been associated with the concert and | operatic stages of the entire world and with the outstanding vocalists, instru- mentalists and orchestras. - They are: Concert Management Arthur Judson, Inc.; Metropolitan Musical Bureau, | Wolfsohn Musical Bureau of New York, | Ipc.; Evans and Salter, Haensel and Jones, Community Concerts C:rpora- tion and Judson Radio Program Corpor- ation. Sees Bright Future. ‘William S. Paley, president of Colum- bia, will be chairman of the board of | the new organization. Its president will be Arthur Judson, manager of the New | York Philharmonic Symphony and Philadelphia Symphony; F. €. Coppicus, ! formerly secretary of the Metropolitan | Opera Co. and manager of Cu'uml Scotti, Chaliapin and Marion Talley, and now manager of Jeritza, Ponzelle, Argentina and Paul Robeson and many other artists, will be executive vice president in charge of _production. Lawrence Evans and Jack Salter, man- agers .of Galli-Curci, Rethberg, Tibbett and Menuhin; Fitzhugh W. Haensel, ; manager of the fenor Crooks and the boy violinist Ricci, and John Trevor ! Adams, head of the Judson Radio Pro- gram Corporation, and Edward Klauber of Columbia will be vice presidents. Ralph F. Colin will be treasurer and | general counsel. Howard L. Taylor of | the American Opera Co., Frederick C. Schang, jr., who will be sales manager for the new company, and Horace Par- malee, all concert managers of wide experience, complete the list of execu- uvesk: General offices will be in New York. A solution of the problems, which have beset the badly disorganized con- cert field for at least 10 years first became possible with the appointment a few months ago of Milton ond, international lawyer, as_the czar of concert activities. Mr. Diamond was placed at the head of the Music Pro- ducing Managers' Association, which was formed by the concert managers who are now parties to the merger. Mr. Paley saw in the new alliance of the once highly competitive concert managements an cpportunity for a mas- ter stroke in assuring radio a closer relationship with the great artists of the world. He said, “How far this is going to carry us no one yet knows, but I honestly believe that in a few more years we will not have to bow our heads when we hear of Europeans as nations of music lovers.” The effect of the consolidation and of the affiliation which it makes be- tween concert management, musical artists and radio broadcasting will be, according to a joint announcement by the merging interests, to give a new impetus to cultural entertainment.

Riéhard Sylvester l‘ie-' " cently Retired as Du Pont - Police Chief. Maj. Richard Sylvester, former chief | of the Metropolitan Police here for a | number of years, and afterward chief | of police for the Du Pont Powder Co.| for many years until retiring from the | latter position several weeks ago, died in | the Hotel Du Pont, Wilmington, Del, | today, according to word received here. Maj. Sylvester became connected with the Police Department in April, 1883, | when he was appointed to the position | of chief clerk by Gen. Willlam MCcE. | Dye, chief of police. He served in that capacity until July 18, 1898, following the death of Col. Willlam G. Moore. | chief of police, when he was appointed | to head the force. He served as chief | clerk under Chiefs William MCcE. Dye, | Maj. S. H. Walker and Col. Willlam G. | Moore. During the'17 years he served as chief | of the department he introduced many | new methods of conducting police busi- | ness. | Members of the different Boards of | District Commissioners showed the confidence they placed in him by fre- | quently asking his views upon question: pertaining to his and other depa: ments. He had much to do with fra ing many of the ordinances that are now being enforced. Often Called to White House. | Bolice duty frequently called the chief | to the White House and Maj. Sylvester | enjoyed the personal acquaintance and confidence of several Presidents and | many persons high in official life. He | always was willing to lend a helping | hand to persons in distress and it was | due to the interest he displayed in the | welfare of many boys and young men | that they later became successful in | life’s pursuits. It is said that the great success attained by the International Asso- | ciation of Police Chiefs was due largely | to the interest taken in the crganization by Maj. Sylvester and his efforts were s0 appreciated that he was chosen head of the organization 14 successive years, Born in Towa City, Icwa, in Augu: 1857, Richard Sylvester went to Mem phis, Tenn.,, with his parents and re- mained there until 1869, when he moveg | to St. Louis, Mo., where his father was | associated in the editorship of the | Times. | Established Own Newspaper, | He entered the academic department of Washington Universjty and at the termination of his conntction with that institution he pursued the study of law | for a year. Subseguently he turned his | attention to repertorial work on the | St. Louis Press and about the time of | the Black Hills discoveries he went to | Nebraska and established the West Point Progress. In 1877 he returned to St. Louis and | took charge of the Farmington Times, | He served in State and congressional | spondent for St. Louis newspapers until | he was.appointed disbursing officer for the Ute Indian Commission. While serving in the latter capacity he formed the acquaintance of H. M. Teller, Secre- | tary of the Interior, and became a close friend of the Secretary. When the commission’s work ended, Secretary Teller wrote the following: | “Richard Sylvester, esq., of the city of Washington, D. C, was secretary and disbursing officer for the Ute indian Commission while I was Secretary “of the Interior. He discharged the duties | of his office to the entire satisfaction of the department. As such disbursing officer he paid out nearly $100,000, and settled his accounts at the end of the service without delay or embarrassment eithier to himself or the department, and he left the service with the good will of all with whom he had been officially connected. I commend him man of ability and integrity.” Appointed Chief Clerk. Shortly after his return from the West, he accepted an appointment as chief clerk of the Police Department, a posi- tion which included the handling of large sums of money and much valu- able property, and when he was elevated to the position of superintendent of the department his accounts were found to be correct. While serving as chief clerk of the department he went to St. Louis, in 1885, and married Miss Laura V. Mc- | Fall, daughter of Col. John McFall, On his paternal side Maj. Sylvester was the grandson of Col, Henry H. Sylvester of New Hampshire, whose wife was a sister of Gov. Henry Hub- bard of that State and who also served in both houses of Congress. On his maternal side he was a grand- son of the Rev. Dr. W. W. Woods of | Iowa,' who was prominently identified sersonal friend of President Lincoln and who tempcrarily filled the pulpit at the President’s church, Life Has Been Sheltered.

DR, FOOTE URGES HEALTH SEAL SALE Receipts by Mail Reach Half- Way Mark in Drive for $45,000 for Year. “When you buy Christmas Seals you are giving some child' a_ gift beyond all price—the gift of health and heppi- ness,” Dr. John Foote, dean of the Georgetown Medi- cal School, de- clared in an ad- dress over Radio Station WOL last night in nugeport of the anti-tuberculo- sis campaign for which the seals of the local tubercu- losis association are now on sale throughout the city. | Describing the origin of the seals | and the steady decline in the death rate from tuberculosis during zheurnsz ouarter of a century, Dr. Foate added that those buying the seals “are dis- pensing not only joy and happiness, but providing in good measure that | most precious of all things—hope and confidence in the future.” Receipts from the sale of the seals so far total $22,000, exclusive of re-| ceipts from banks, larger department ' stores and elsewhere. The figures are | on the mail returns. ‘The $22,000 received puts the cam- paign half way to its goal of $45,000, to be obtained from 4,500,000 seals to be sold, to enable the various health serv- ives of the Tuberculosis Association to continue its work during next year.
