Former Omaha Woman
Once Pelted Stones
At President Wilson
Mary Hawes Glover, former Oma
ha clubwoman, now living in New
York City, recalls childhood mem-
ories of President Wilson in a letter
to Mrs. C. VV. Hayes, leader of the
social science department, J Omaha
Woman's club, with which depart
ment Mrs. Glover .was once affiliated.
"1 went to school with Woodrow
Wilson when he was 17 and I was
eleven. Little did I know that when
1 threw stones at long, lanky Tommy
Wilson that I was pelting the future
president of the United States. His
only brother, Joseph Wilson, played
the violin the night my class gradu
ated. The father, Rev. Joseph Wil
son, was for many years pastor of
our First Presbyterian church in Wil
mington. My father was an intimate
friend and came very near leaving
the Methodist church, so strongly
was he impressed with Dr. Wilson."
Mrs. Glover mentions that attend
ing the same school was Mary Leily
Kenan, widow of Henry Flagler, the
multimillionaire. . Mrs. Flagler mar
ried Bob Worth Bingham just a few
days ago.
Ad Man Must Be
' Analysist 'as Well
i As a Copy Writer
Analysis is one of the most im
portant factors for the advertising
man or salesman in getting out the
proper information about his product
to the potential customers, according
to an address made by W. R. Evans
of the Bankers' Realty Investment
company before Ihe Omaha Ad club
at a round table meeting at the Com
mercial club last night.
"Analysis of the Article" was the
subject upon which he had prepared
his paper. He showed that, no great
advertjsing campaign can be a suc
cess unless the advertising man has
studied the product and its manufac
ture long and hard and has analyzed
it carefully.

Motor Cars Meet Head-On
While Moving Swiftly
Results somewhat similar to those
of an irresistable force striking an
immovable object were achieved last
night when C. C. Edgely, contractor,
living at ,thc Hotel Harney, driving
an auto without lights at Sixteenth
and Clark, butted radiators with Pat
Connors, chauffeur, who was driving
in an opposite direction. A complaint
of reckless driving and intoxication
was lodged against Connors. Edgely
was arrested for driving at night
without lights. '
Both machines were traveling at
high rate of speed when they met,
witnesses said.

MONEY SHARPS IRK
THE WELFARE BOARD
Justice Courts and Collection
Agencies Are Listed as Un
mitigated Social Evils.
SOME INSTANCES CITED
If there are more unmitigated so
cial evils than the justice court sys
tem of dispensing so-called justice
and the methods of collection agen
cies in wringing cash from poor peo
ple, then the Welfare Board would
not like tf meet them.
"Why, only lasf week," said Attor
ney J. P. Palmer, at a meeting of
the Welfare Board last night, "a
woman went to a South Side justice.
Now nearly everyone knows that the
cost of starting a case is only about
$2.40 or $2.50. This particular gent
leman told hex that it would cost her
$3.50 and a goo:?. The woman, who is
a native of Poland, brought him the
money and thegoose."
"Yes," said T. J. McGuire, of the
Board's legal aid department, "only
today a case came to eur notice
whereby a woman's original bill for
$10 had grown to $18 before a col.
lection agency got through with it."
These were only isolated cases
cited from a legion of instances. At
torneys Palmer and W. rrazer,
representing the Barristers' club.;
heard a long fale of woe as they con-1
ferred with the board members about
drafting new laws to remedy the j
glaring defects.
Palmer expressed the opinion that
the establishment of the municipal
court in Omaha, which automatically
reduces the number of justices to one,
would help greatly in the elimination
of many of the evils perpetrated by
the justices. The board agreed with
him.
But how to prevent by law the mal
feasance of the collection agencies,
some credit houses and kindred evils,
is a problem which the Barristers'
club and the Welfare Rpnrd will try
to work oft in time to submit practi
cable suggestions to the state legislature.

KREISLER CHARMS
THROUGH HIS ART
Great Master of Violin Again
Delights Omaha Audience
With Wonderful Mastery
PROGRAM OF WONDERS
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
Omaha music lovers were again
thrilled and stimulated lat evening
by the wonderful violin playing of
that master musioian, Fritz Kreisler,
who appeared at the Auditorium as
the second number on the Omaha
Retailers course. Again his warm,
luscious tones filled the wide spaces
of this immense building, again his
inspiring rhythmic swing captivated
and held the attei.tion of the large
audience, and his masterly interpreta
tions won for him a deserved ovation.
And what a great artist he isl He
never exaggerates, never distorts the
music, vet he puts in and through the
notes, beneath the even tempos, a
wealth of feeling and a musical
genius which has woti him his de
served placV among the world's great
est. His playing is always sane,
logical and well thought out: it -m
also vital, inspiring and full of senti
ment. Everything if done with the
same ease and assurance, from the
most intricate and difhcul passages
to the most simple, and always with
that same perfectly balanced regard
for its musical worth. He excels not
in any one style, hut in all of them,
and everything he plays g)wws with
the magic of his individuality.
ProgramNjf Interest.
The program tat night was most
interesting one. The first number in
cluded excerpts from two of the sel
dom heard Bach "Sonatas for Violin."
These were originally written for
violin alone, but the fust one, the
"Sonata in E tnaj.ir." of which he
played four movements, was given
with a well arranged piano accom
paniment. These were played as one
feels Bach would have liked to have
had them, add also the "Adagio" and
"Fugue" in G minor, for 'violin alone,
with its broad sweeping lines, its
many graceful fairy-like runs, and its
big brilliant fugue. The prelude of
the "Sonata in K major" is remark
ably beautiful with its constant pas
sage work, and occasional broad
chords and the "Gavotte," "Minu
ettes" and "Gigue" equally interest
ing, and worthy f much more fre-
lent hearings.
The applause which greeted these
Bach numbers was whole-hearted and
general, and brought the artist back
for repeated acknowledgments.

7 AND HOW A on
numt ruRNis
lowed, in whiufi were scintillating and
dazzling climaxes, contrasted with the
exquisite charm and beauty of the
"Romance," preceding -the gypsy-like
last movement. Schubcrt-Kreisler's
"Moment Musical" was the ensuing
encore.
A group of five numbers hy the old
masters came next, eacn of value both
for its intrinsic merit aiuMor it? care
ful interpretation a lovely "Andanti
no" by Padre Martini, an effective
"Minuet" by Porpora, the broadly
conceived "Prelude and Allegro" by
l'ugnani, the dainty "Chanson Louis
XIII et Pavnc" by Louis Couperin,
and the brilliant and glowing "Varia
tions" by Tartini. Two encores,
"Spanish Serenade" by Chaminade
Kreisler, and his own "Schon-Ros-niarin,"
were presented at this time.
The last group were all Kreisler
numbers, either arrangements of
lovely old gems which are made to
live anew "under his masterful touch,
or his own compositions.
In these fascinating melodies, the
warm color, rich harmonies, and
strong rhythmic feeling of Kreisler
the composer were all in evidence.
Rare Musical Privilege.
As one listens to them under the
spell of Kreisler the virtuoso with
now their broad, mellow tones, and
now their airy lightness, or charac
teristic flavor, one feels like agreeing
j with the woman who said last year,
"Isn't it wonderful that so line a mu
sician can be a composer, too?" Kor
'encores, this time were had the "C'a
! price Yiennois," Kreisler, and. sad as
I it may seem, the Dvorak "Humor
j esque." If we were to be allowed
Dvorak, how much more would we
have loved one of his "Slavonic
Dances" which Kreisler has arranged,
instead. But after all it was a pro-
! gram of such music and such playing
as we only hear m the visits ot tins
great artist, amL may we look for
ward to many more repetitions of
them.
Carl I-amsou always delights by his
splendid accompaniments. He never
is found wanting, and brings much
added enjoyment to each number by
his tnusicianly work.
