Bach's Oratorio Heard Hi-re
Christmas Work Presented by
Columbia University Choru?
Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" was
; given, presumably for the first time In
New York City, at Carnegie Hall last
? evening by the Columbia University
Chorus, assisted by four soloists
? Marie Sundelius, soprano, of the Met?
ropolitan Opera Company; Mary Jor?
dan, contralto: Theo. Karle, tenor, and
William Gustafson, buss and an or?
chestra of fifty. The performance was
? conducted by Professor Walter Henry
: Hull.
In order to brine; the oratorio to an
enu at a reasonable hour, it was nec?
essary to make several cuts, chieflv in
arias, soliloquies and repetitions. Only
one chorus was omitted. The perform
i anee was generally spirited, and Pro
? fessor Hall conducted with much
I earnestness and energy. The chorus
; acquitted itself well, for the volume of
? tone was rich and the singers wer?
i cpmmendably distinct in their enuncia?
tion. Mr. Karle'? singing was particu?
larly enjoyable because of his excel?
lent diction.
Mrs. Sundelius's beautiful voice, skill?
fully controlled, was also heard to ad?
vantage. Unfortunately, Miss Jordan
: was for the most part unintelligible, a
failing for which the richness of her
voice did not atone. The same w is
i true of Mr. Gustafson. Judging the
undertaking as a whole, it was distinct?
ly successful.

Bird S. i oler, Commissioner of Pub
(lie Charities of the City of New
?York, addressed nn audience of live
| hundred persons at the Kiwanis Club
| luncheon at the McAlpin yesterday.
Among other things, Mr. Color told
his audience that there was con tanl
I warfare between the private and public
chanties of the city, that then was
a conspiracy on the part of the news?
papers to suppress news of the work
of the public Institutions in favor of
the private organizations. lie said
"medical politics" killed more people
in a year than any one causo except
war.
Mr. Color charged n lack of co?
operation on the part of tho private
institution?? in the fighl againsi ";' i."
He stated that moneys collected iy the
National Tuberculosis Association's
Christmas seal sale had been used to
pay large salaries to officers of that
body.
Grand Jurors ['resent
With the Commissioner as quests
of the club were the members ''i the
| January grand jury of Kings County,
which recently took under survey the
conditions in tho Department of Pub
lie Charities and has made recommen?
dations to the court, approving certain
of the Commissioner's plans for re?
organization.
The Commissioner prefaced his re?
marks with the statement that politics
had nothing to do with his views us
he was about to express Lhem. 1' i
then stated that the present civic ad?
ministration's record eventually would
be vindicated, and thai he was in the
same position as the Mayor, determined
to continue to do the best thing foi
the people, regardless of all opposil nn
Throughout his address, the Com?
missioner attacked the pri of New

Blames Medical Politics
" U p have got to go to the
this situation. Outside the deva
caused by the war, medical pol tic
kills more people than any one thin;
in the world to-day. And the news
papers are a part of the politics.
"I charge that the Rockefeller Fom
elation and other similar institution
are trying to dominate affairs of pul
lie policy with private money and ? b<
lleve that this is one of the grave;
menaces faced by the people of Ne
York to-day. I may say some thing
here which will cause discussion,
hopo they do."
The Commissioner declared that :
knew of a caso where a feeble-minde

had been sont to Randall's Islati
through the influence of physiciai
who were paid $2,400 a year < ach bj tl
Mental Hygiene Society. There w?
little or no fire protection on Rai

been torced to make a personal appe
to the committing judge in order
get this ruling annulled.
"The public charities of New Yoi
are doing a great and wonderful wor
but it is impossible for us to get ai
publicity against the subsidized ar
advertised private institutions," i
.said.
Pays Tribute to Nurses
Commissioner Coler concluded h
speech with an outline of a plan to e
tabllsh a new home for the aged c
Staten Island, and with a tribute
tho city nurses who had worked ha'
and faithfully through the flu ep
demie.
Ilo would! like, he said, to have
subscription list opened to provii
every city nurse with a medal in re
ognition of her faithnil servie
"Money could not pay them for wn
they have done, and are doing," 1
declared.
Grand Jury Foreman O'Brien urg'
the Home for the Aged propositio
which he said would enable the Kin??
County Hospital to properly expand 1
replacing the buildings at prese
used as an old people's home wi
modern hospital structures.
The city's charities were lie 11
starved for wiant of proper pub!
support, he said, adding that it was
disgrace that the city administr?t!
could appropriate only $100,000 a ye
for the maintenance of $25,000,u
worth of property.

'Mme.Matzenauer Return?
I To the Metropolitan Cast
Singer Will Replace Signora
Besanzoni for the Rest of
?he Operatic Year
l he teason of opero at the Metro?
politan dp.M-a House entered upon its
second phase yesterday, the change be?
ing signalized by the return of Mme.
MaUenauer, who for the remainder of
'lie operatio your wi|l jreplace Signora
Besanzoni; also by the return to the
repertory of Meyerbeer's "Prophet."
The incidents are both of good omen.
A lociatod with them is another, which
is likely to cans., less rejoicing: Miss
Garrison prives way to Mme. Barrientos,
who will efTect her reentry on Saturday
! afternoon in "Rigoletto."
Last; night's performance of "Le
Proph?te," directed by Mr. Bodanzky
and enlisting the same singers that
have made it a deservedly popular
feature ever since Mr. Caruso con?
sented to wake the opera out of its
long sleep, was a spirited one always
and a pompous ;ind thrilling one in it3
climacteric scenes, especially that in
he M?nster Cathedral which is both
, ye and ear filling in the highest de
gree, a splendid appeal to the senses
and fancy.
Men- than that need scarcely be
i '?? for there is no reason why the old
? i rds of praise should be reiterated to
? cribe the line pathos of Madame
Vtatzenauer's airs or tho thrilling ef
fi ct of Mr. Caruso's voice, in ihe songs
,vh '; he aims at tho popular heart, al
ways hitting his mark, though fre?
quently outraging Hm fundamental
principles of 2ood dramatic ?song. The

City Officials I
Join in Attack
On Hedley
Fare Must Assure Serviee,
Says I. R. T. Head, Who
Declares Company Has
Pawned "All It Had"
Day of Lively Tilts
Hedley Reeeives Dividends
on 50 Shares of Stoek but
Does Not Know Amount
Frank Hedley, president of the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company,
bore the brunt of an attack by three
examiners Mayor Hylan, Controller
Craig and Corporation Counsel Burr -
at yesterday's session on the traction
inquiry before the'Bpard of Estimate.
Mr. Hedley, who was the only witness,
was put through a severe examination.
James L. Quackenbush, counsel for
the Interborough, served as a bumper
between witness and inquisitors, and
succeeded in lessening the fore of
some of the blows. Tho Mayor ques?
tioned Mr. Hedley ac length about the
dividends the company had paid in re
'? cent years, and at several points in
! the examination objected to the ap?
parent lack of attention on the part
of the witness, calling on him to "look
. me in the eyes."
In questioning Mr. Hedley as to
' whether the holders of the 5 per cent
bonds of the Interborough could under
', any conditions hold the city liable to
i pay the face of the bonds or the in
: terest, the Mayor resented Mr. Hedley's
| seeming indifference.
Mayor Demands Attention
"Oh, look at me. Mr. Hedley, and
just answer the question frankly,"
saitl the Mayor.
"It bores me to keep my eyes on you
ail the time, sir," replied the witness.
"I look at you most of the time, but
I look around the room sometimes."
"? want you to look at me, Mr. Hed
!cy, because I want to see the color
of your eyes when you answer the
question," said the Mayor.
Mr. Hedley declared he had no ob
?i ctions to looking at the Mayor, or
to the Mayor looking at him, but ad?
mitted that he had forgotten what ques?
tion had been directed at him. When
informed, the witness said Le did no'
know whether the city could be held
liable or not.
The Mayor reverted to the ques?
tion of dividends.
"If you have any idea that you can
distribute enormous dividends to the
extent of millions ??(' dollars," lie said.
"and then when there is. a small deficit
think you can extract i' from the peo?
ple, you are mistaken as far as 1 am
concerned."
Looking for Help, Says Hedley
"We have paid no dividends this year
and have no cash in the. bank," said
Mr. Hedley. "We are looking Tor help,
not condemnation."
"You are looking for a new pawn?
shop," interrupted Comptroller Craig,
"and you come to the Board of Esti?
mate."
"We have pawned everything wc
have," continued the Interborough
president. "I went to the stoekholder
around the first of the year, and ask' ?
if something could not be done, out
nothing came of it."
Comptroller Craig charged thai th?
Interborough had violated its contract
with the city in failing- to conferir
with one of the most important provi?
sions, which he said was that deficits
shall be cumulative, and carried for?
ward. The Comptroller declared that
the directors of the company should
have reckoned with these conditions
when they were passing out dividends
in 1918.
Mayor Hylan interrupted to say that
m the light of the great profits of the
company in the past, the "profiteering
stockholders" should go into their
pocket-books and "make up this com?
paratively small deficit of $3,000,000
claimed by the Interborough."
Wants Fare to Meet Service
Mr. Hedley declared that the public
should pay a fare that would assure
service. The Mayor asked the witness
if he was prepared to open his own
pocket and pay back some of his divi?
dends to help meet the deficit. Mr
Hedley answered in the negative.
"No, you wouldn't do that," said the
Mayor warmly. "You want the people j
1 to meet the deficit, and when there is ;
a profit you want to get more dividends
and put the profits in your pocket."
"The people should pay as they go."
was Mr. Hedley's comment.
Corporation Counsel Burr questioned
the witness at length on the old con
| tract for third tracking the elevated
linea, in connection with which sen<a
. tional testimony was adduced at the
I Thompson legislative investigation of
: the Public Servie? Commission regard?
ing certain "commitments and obliga
tions" incurred by the late Theodor?
P. Shunts, formerly president of the
Interborough. Mr. (?uaekenbush object
? ed vigorously to the reading into the
record of this testimony, purporting to
have been in memorandum form by
George Young, formerly a director of
the Interborough. lie declared that if
the testimony had been true Mr. Shonts
should have been indicted and prose
cuted, but, he added, it wa.s no more
than fair to the memory of Mr. Shontfl
to call attention to the fact that noth
' ing was done in the matter.
Mr. Burr asked Mr. Hedley why he
had disavowed any responsibility for
? "the waste and extravagance" of the
i times anterior to his becoming presi
. dent of the company. The witness said
'. he did not admit that there was any
1 waste and extravagance, but he did not
think he should be held responsible for
what some other person? did who wer??
his superior officers.
Own Salary Slightly Increased
Asked what he had done to econo?
mize since he became president, Mr.
Hedley said he had 'Substantially re
' duced" the overhead expenses in re?
spect to the president's salary and
some of his office staff, and in the pur
' chasing department, ad that he is now
investigating the department of sup?
plies. Corporation Counsel Burr asked
if he had understood him correctly
when he said he had reduced his own
i salary. The witness replied that he
' had not pared his salary?that it had
| been slightly increased.
The Mayor got an admission from
Mr. Hedley that he had received divi
I dends from the company on fifty shares
I of stock which he holds. Asked what
j dividends he had received, the witness
replied: "Whatever dividends have
! been paid." The Mayor insisted upon
the figures, but Mr. Hedley said he
i didn't know what tiiey were.
I The session ended with a lively
! passage between Controller Craig and
1 Mr. Hedley as to who was responsible
? for the delay in compieting the suh
| ways. Mr. Hedley saiufce had been in?
formed by tiie Public .v?rvice Commis
! sioner that it was due t? the failure of
; the city to provide the money u> com
! nlete the construction. Mr. Quacken
. bush insisted that the delay was caused
\ by the Public Service Commission's
? failure to provide the plans. The hear?
ing will be continued this afternoon at
the City Hall.

Employers: Do you have
need for hoys?
It is easy to insert an advertisement that will
till your office with professional job-hunters?
boys of inferior quality?but real live, red
blooded Americans?ah, that's different!
How are you to secure boys of the right kind ?
We can show you one good way.
Choose a newspaper circulating among men
and women of intelligence and far-sightedness,
who believe in Americanism and industrious
effort, and then make your appeal to them as par?
ents of the type of boys you wish to employ, show?
ing the advantages and opportunities your concern
offers to beginners.
This plan has been used with excellent results
in The New York Tribune?a paper excelled by
none for quality of circulation, appealing, as it
does, to 100% Americans. Why not try us on
this method? Just phone the Good Morning Girl,
Beekman 3000?Classified Department?and dic?
tate your ad. We'll bill you later.
