S, Kerr in a song recital. During his selections Mr. Kerr was accompanied on the piano by W. Burgemeister. The even- ing’s entertainment was under the auspices of the Stanley Memorial, church and it is expected that a large sum will be realized. Mr. Kerr possesses a voice of fair quality with an unusually wide range. While it took him nearly the first half of the program to warm up to his audience, his later numbers were ex- cellently rendered. He w; especially good in the “Bonny Fiddler’” by Ham- mond and the “Toreador Song’ from | Carmen. Hi rang points pleasing pianissimo and very wer clear | tones in his high register. Mr, Burgemeister proved to be both an able and sympathetic accompani: His only number on the program was a concert Etude by MacDowell, which was played in a brilliant manner, the pianist being forced to respond to an encore. For this number he rendered Grieg’s “Ta The Spring” very effec- tively, displaying much artistic tem- perament. Following is the program rendered: La Calumia (Opera Kypris Am Meer Die Lotus Blume Widmung : Schumann Singing to You Kerr 0O, For a Breath of the Mooriands . .

Commissioner In the case Mrs. Mary widow of Antonio Pappianni, who re- ceived fatal injuries in the quarries of the White Oak Crushed Stone company Oct. 25, 1915, dies before the compensation insurance awarded by Commissioner George Chandler is entirely paid, the amount remaining will be inherited by her children. This was the ruling of Compensation Commissioner Chand- ler yesterday upon the re-opening of Pappianni, the case before him at Hartford. 'J. F. Murray of New York, attorney for the respondents, pleaded that Mrs. Pappianni is in ill health and that if she is granted compensation in partial payments, instead of a lump sum, the insurance companies would not lose as heavily in case of her death. In ruling that the chil- dren will inherit the compensation in case of death, Commissioner Chandler said that he could not see where there was any gross in his former decision and adhered to the terms of that award. The case was re-opened opon re- quest of the respondents. November 122, Mrs. Papplanni was awarded | compensation from March 14, 1915, to November 13. 1915, at the rate of !$10 a week and, according to the de- | cision, is still to receive $2,339.20 in la lump sum. 0Old Scotch | | property B Rossini | | | injustice | \ PROCRASTINATION G0STS $1 May Settle in Court for Not Clearing Snow Off Sidewalks—Lawyer aud Milkman Before Judge, The crusade against snow-coverod and_ jey sidewalks was continued in police court today with a majority of the accused paying the required $2 ity of arraignment. veral instances where the accused inclined to dispute the allegation s ta condition or responsibility there was a continuance until Saturday.
