Yesterday the court, presided over by Judge John P. McMahon, which formerly finished | its business about noon, was in session until 3 ¢'clock. According to the court records, 54 persons were tried in this branch of Police Court on April 11, when the as- sistant_corporation counsel was taking a smaller collateral from those who | received tickets, while yesterday more than 90 were actually tried and 50 more | cases where the arrested one signified intention of appearing for trial and didn’t had to be disposed of by the Judge; that is, the judge passed on the forfeitures. The arresting police were forced to wait until the 140 cases were dis- posed of. In most Instances those who decided to stand trial rather tharr forfeit $5 | were rewarded for their patience, as the judge's customary fine was $3 for | parking violations. { In the past the lesser violations were | finished quickly, as the court papers only had to be marked for a forfeiture by one of the corporation counsel's staff and the offending motorist went directly to the financial office and paid | the amount noted on the paper. Congestion in the court has increased to the point where it was several years ago, before the passage of the act allowing the automobile driver to for- feit collateral on the more trivial traffic charges if he so desired, court attaches said.

The three Brahms numbers with which Mr. Crawford opened the program were beautifully sung after the well established traditions, and his singing of the famous Vision Fugitive” frcm Massenet's “Herodiace” lacked none of the dra- matic fervor required. The last numbers, sung in English, included one of his own compositions, “Pagan Prayer,” which was one of the really exquisite bits on the program Mr. Potter played two groups of piano solos as well as Mr. Craw- ford's accompaniments. His first number was composed of two Bach numbers and one of Scarlatti, played with clear, crisp techrique and good tone, and his second group Were moderns, of whi Faure’s Nocturne” and Griffes’ “The White Peacock” were the most beautiful. Mr. Potter's accompaniments wera in keeping with his solo work, with only once or twice a bit too much tone for the mood of the song. K. B.
