Mohler Likes Plan of Eoads for Seeing j This Country First After reading the story In The Bee's news columns relative to the move upon the part of the railroads to encourage the "Bee America First" Idea, President Mohler of the Union Paclflo said: "I agree with the plan and believe that U the railroads keep on boosting, they can make nature's playgrounds In the mountain regions more popular than any of the so-called famous places In Europe. "The Bee's story of the difference of the east of the American and European railroad strips was correct only that It placed the cost of traveling In Europe too low.-1 made the rail trip from Pans to Naples and not only paid the high transportation charge, but I had to pay SAM for having MO pounds of baggage carried. In the United States this would go free." Loan Shark is Sued for Heavy Damages Another loan shark' damage ease was Started In district court yesterday.

Its conduc tor. Is a brilliant and girted musician and recognised. Four soloists are on the program. Vera Curtis, soprano; Eva My lott, contralto; Henri La Bonte, tenor, and Albert Jannolskl, the great Russian bari tone. We had a tests of Tschalkowsky when Mr. Stock and the Thomas orchestra were here. They played the fifth symphonp. The Russian people will play the sixth or Pathetloue," as It Is known, the most melancholy, passionate and morbid piece of composition In modern symphony literature. Mr. Stock's orchestra Is, as a whole. Intellectual. These people will be stormy and temperamental. They also play Tschalkowsky's -nor tone pic tures and two smaller numbers. "Dance of the Fairy Dolls" and "Dance of the Mllltons." Musorgsky la represented by his "Sunrise on Moskva Rivers." Tolstoi called him the Walt Whitman of afusalan mualo and was a tremendous admirer of Im. I can't find Mr. Janpolskl's name on the actual printed programs. On bis way through here two years ago be sang for sa afternoon In my mualo rooms with Miss Paulson accompenrtng. He Is a great artist with a wonderful voice. He makes a specialty of Russian folk songs and sings them extreordlnarlr well, with a barbaric, swinging, magnetic sort of an atmosphere. Mile. Lopoukowa, the dancer, completes the personnel of the eompany. The young wireless operator who was saved from the hideous disaster of the Tttanle says that as he was floating off la the water with his life-belt about him. the last thing he heard or remembered was the Titanic band playing "Autumn," He added sffuiiivsk'lr. "I don't see now la the world they -er did It." For a while this ship's bant was spoken of simply as an ordinary Slip's organisation, It gradually comes to light that they were picked men, 'engaged for this special voy age. That they were of the stuff of which heroes are made la now world wide newa Bandmaster Hartley wss a man wtth a fine sense of duty, and with a fixed idea that music was a big weapon for stopping disorder. He had tested his opinions and seen them work. Whea the trouble came he gathered his men to gether and pitched la to do his pert of the business. His Job was to play, and he played. Just as long ss there was a deck under him. His men all stuck by him. In that awful maeistrofli he pre served order and discipline. One of has violinists wss a young Scotchman named Jack Hume, aged it, who was known and beloved by everyone, from csbia bey te captains on the White Star hoe. He had made many tripe, was one of the sunny, reeponstve naturae that attracts boats of Meads. Tie plan was erentaelty to ge late concert work, and It wemdnt have keea loac probably before be gave up following the see. They say be bad very exceptional ability, but like many another, he had to have some money as he went along. Couldn't Just stop and study. Hume had been bandmaster on the Carmenla of the Cunard line, snd hsd played In the orchestras of the Majeetle and California of the Anchor lines, and the Megantlo of the White Star com pany. Fred Clark, who played the baas viol, made bis first trip across the ocean la the Titanic. Hs wss offered enough money to Induce him to leave his home. The winter concert sesson wss over; he finally accepted the ship's offer. Herbert Taylor, the pianist, waa a master of his Instrument Ia such sa orchestra the pianist has to be good. He holds the fa brio together; makes the groundwork; all the charm of the ensemble really de pends upon him. Woodward, the 'cellist. came from Lseda He. with Braley, Krlns and Breicoux, completed the bano. One small side thread of Interest comes te me. , These men must ail hare been what Is known in musts shuts as "good takers.' I can pick out now oa my tan fingers the musicians I know whs can. without any notes, play or sing a com plete part In a chosen composition, mak ing It tip ae they go along and having It fit and harmonise. I don't believe those Tltanle band man bad any Urns te sort out music. As I fee them they haven't a acta Certainly by the time they got to that One old church tuns and their owa dirge, "Autumn." they were playing out of their keens and not out of hooka That's the kind of music that counts. God plants the real thing down deep. Under the patronage of President Taft and the duke and duchess of Coaaaught a benefit performance waa held at the Metropolltaa Opera boose, rn New Tork, April . The sum of tUOS was realised for the families of the victims of the Tttanle disaster. A long array of arasleal celebrities took part, raclading Caruso, who sang The Lost Chord." The New Tork Oratorio society, together with the Metropolitan Opera house orchestra, and the great audience standing and Joining, sang the two hymns, "Autumn" snd "Nearer, My Ood, te Thee." I am glad I was not there. I think It would have killed me. Friends of Stanley B. Letovsky will take pleasure tn bearing that he Is conductor of the orchestra at the Steal theater la Feeea. Germany. He Hity-sU ansa trader Una and ad the greet operas are fives, Wagner par ticularly. He baa also beea successful la com poet tloo.

His tone fcj sweet and true and sympathetic la cox mind I have many delightful memories of this artist Maybe he remembers the New Tear's night when five of us usurped the place of bis orchestra behind the petma But that Is another story, as Mr. Kipling says. . . The following clipping la taken from the Musical Courier. Parts correspondent: "At a musicals recently given at the Lyceum club Mia Marls Mlkova, a pupil of Wager Swayns, particularly dis tinguished herself. This young lady la already a moat brilliant performer, with advanced teohnlo and faculty of Inter pretation which speaks well for her chances of success. At the same time she shows a greet deal of -power used la the right place and an assurance before the publlo which adds greatly to the charm ef her playing." Miss Mlkova styes her recital here en the evening of Tuesday, May S, at the Brandels theater. , iei Oa the evening o? Thursday, May M, the Apollo club under the leadership of Dr. Freemantsl wtll gtve Its last concert of the season. This club Is fashioned after the Apollo club wa hsd years ago, of which Nat Brlgham was the bright and shining light la Dr. Freemantsl's study is a picture of the original mem bership. One can pi ok out many a familiar face; me a who helped bund up the musical life of Omaha. This Is hall and farewell! The music columa shuts ap shop tor ths summer to day. My feelings on the subject are mixed. I'm glad and I'm sorry. To ths "gentle readers" my good wishes and may ths summer be a happy and profit able one. MART LXXRNED. KaetoeU Notes.
