Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bloch
Give Piano and Violin Recital
A pleasant evening of sonatas for
the violin and piano was given last
night by Mr. nnd Mrs. Alexander Bloch
at Aeolian Hall. Tho sonatas were the
Bach in C, the Cesar Franck and the
"Kreutzer" sonata of Bcethoven, ali
works which will bear many rehear
ings. They are both artists of good
technical equipment and musical sensi
bility, and play with an admirable
unity of purpose and finish. Great
variety of color and contrast were not
present in their work, and in the piano
espccially greater sonority of tone was
often much to be desired, but they dis?
played a painstaking and sensitive rnu
sicianship of which we are never likely
to have too much. The audience was
Circus Lands Saf ely,
Despite Propagaiula
Of Bolshevist Boris
Bandar-Log's Story of Gldnds
Stolen From HelplessRace
Nearly Disrupts Troupe,
? SaysVeracionsPressAgent
Despite the efforts of Boris the Bol?
shevist, tho Ringling Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Circus arrived in
town yesterday and is safely housed in
Madison Square Garden.
But it wasn't as simple as it sounds.
On the word of honor of the veracious
press agent, Boris the Bolshevist near?
ly spilled the entire troupe into the
Manhattan byways.
Glands, tho press agent says, are re?
sponsible for the Bolshevik behavior of
Boris, the bandar-log. From the same
unimpeachable fount of information'
comes the news that Boris once was a
favorite performer at the Court of tho
Czar of Russia, when the late Nicholas,
and not, Lenine, was in power. Grave
1y the press agent assures us that he
has a deep suspicion that revolutionary
propaganda has warped tho soul of
Boris the bandar-log.
Thus it happened that when thc word
came that the troupe should move from
Mott Haven to the Garden, Boris drew
down his massive eyebrows and went
to and fro among the animals, mutter
ing vicious oaths nnd Bowing seeds of
discontent broadcast.
"It is time for the downtrodden ban
dar-logs to arise against their capi
tnlistic taskmasters who aro crinding
them into the earth," Boris told his
chattering nudiences. "Does not the
word come from Paris that some
scheming scicntist is making over hu?
man beings with glnnds stolen from
the helpless common people of our race ?
Why should we believe that we are going
to the Garden?'Was it not in a garden
that original sin began? Is not the
very word 'garden' synonymous with
(ieecit, and is not Believue Hospital a
few blocks away?"
It was crude stu(T, but the press
agent assures us that it pretty nearly
put the whole show on the toboggan.
Ile says the primatcs fell for it almost
as readily as some human beings fall
for similar stuff. But somebody hit
Boris the bandar-log, and, while he
was still unconsciuos, spirited him
away. When hc woke up he was in his
new abode.
There aro a lot of imported acts
which have not arrived, but they are
expected early in the week.
There also are at least one hundred
clowns, the press a?ent avows.
Ex-President's Portrait
Given to Manhattan Club
Old Custom Revived When
Members Pav Tribute to
Philip j. Britt
An old custom was revived last night
at the Manhattan Club, when at a din?
ner presided over by former Supreme
Court Justice Morgan J. O'Brien a
portrait of Philip J. Britt, former pres?
ident of the organization, was present?
ed to the club liy Louis Mark, the paint
er, and was accepted by President
Phoenix Ingraham. In addition to Mr.
Britt at the guest table were Govern?
or Sniith, Bainhndire Colby, Supreme
Court Justice Alfred R. Page, Frank
I, Cobb and "Mr. Ingraham.
The custom of retaining the features
of the president of the Manhattan Club
was inaugurated under the tenure of
John Van Buren, the club's first ex?
ecutive. Van Buren, who was known
as " Prince John" and danced with
Queen Victoria, was a son of President
Martin Van Buren. Other paintings of
former presidents of the club adorn
ing the walls are those of Augustus
Schell, Aucust Belmont, Aaron J Van
derpoel, Marton Marble, Fredcric R.
Coudert, Charles II. Truax, John Hon.,
Morgan J. O'Brien, Alton B. Parker,
Victor J. Dowling and Edward G. Whit
aker.
As president o"f the club Mr. Britt
presided at the banquet to celebrate
its semi-centennial on November 4,
1915, when President Wilson made his
first address on thc necessity for war
preparedness.
There is only one painting on the
walls of thr club of a man who .was
not one oi' its presidents. It is that
of Henry Watterson. He and Presi?
dent Wilson are the only honorary
members of the organization.

Boston Orchestra
Is Well Received
In Carnegie Hall
Concert by the Symphony
Here Declared Admirable;
Mme. Schmitzer. Gives
Last of Her Three Recitals
Thc troubles of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra do not seem to have affected
the number of people who in New York
wish to hear the famous band. The
concert yesterday afternoon found Car?
negie Hall crowded and Mr. Monteux
grceted with more than ordinary
heartiness. Mr. Monteux has naturallv
tempered the program to his shorn
orchestra, yet despite a certain loss in
tonal rosonancc its playing yesterday
was admirable, and notably 30 in De
bussys Petite Suite, arranged for
orchestra by Henri Biisser. Mr. Mon
tc"* 'f entirely at home in the music
ot Debussy, and he gave the Suite a
graceful and atmospheric performance.
ihe other numbers were the overture
to Boethoven's "Fidelio," the Mozart G
minor Symphony, Borodin's orchestral
sketch "On the Steppes of Central
Asia and the overture to Goldmark's
bakuntala."
At the same moment Mme. Germaine
Schmtzer was giving the last of her
three recitals at Aeolian Hall and giv?
ing it to a large and interested audi?
ence. She played a program of con
siderablo variety, opening with a
Sonata of Parodies and following it
with Schumann's "Carnaval," Schu
bcrl s Impromptu, op. 142; Liszt's Hun?
garian Rhapsody, No. 9, and shorter
pieces by Chabrier, Brahms, Rachmani
noff, and Saint-Saens. Mme. Schnitzer's
tone was unfortunately singurarily
hard and lacking in variety of color,
but aside from this rather unexpected
detect she played with a good deal ol'
sentiment and even of fire.

Five-Cent Fare
To Coney Island
Effective May 1
Transit Construction Com?
missioner and B. R. T.
Offieials Reach Agree?
ment as to City's Contract
Ten Cents Present Charge
. ? ?
Understanding Is That De?
lay in Equipment Will
Not Affect Arrangement
A flve-cent fare to Coney Island will
be in effect beginning May 1. Arrange?
ments wero completed yesterday be?
tween John H- Delaney, Transit Con?
struction Commissioner, and offieials
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
by which it has been agreed that the
city's part of rapid transit contract No.
4 will be completed at that time to the
qxtent that the clause providing for the
five-cent fare to and from Coney Island
will be elfective.
A clause of the contract provides that
the tive-cent fare is to go into effect
"when trains may be operated for con
tinuous trips wholly over connected
portions of the railroad, including both j
the Culver and West End lines, from i
the Municipal Building to the points at
or near Coney Island at which construc- !
tion of the railroad shall be suspended." ;
The five-cent fare will apply to all the j
lines of the New York Municipal Rail?
road Corporation, which is the operat?
ing company of all the subway and ele?
vated lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran?
sit system.
The West End line has been com?
pleted for some time and the city
owned section of the Culver line was
suspended at Sheepshead Bay, inci- I
dental to #n agreement of the Brooklyn i
Rapid Transit official3 to complete the '
Culver structure from that point to '?
the Coney Island terminal. Commis- !
sioner Delaney has been urging the
city contractors to ''speed up" work on
the final section of the city-owned
part of the Culver line, and practically I
all of the city s work will be completed :
within three weeks. The Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company is following up
the city contractors with third-rail
and other equipment work and expects
to have the section between Sheeps
he&d Bay Road and the Coriey Island
terminal completed and equipped be- l
fore May 1.
It was agreed between Commissioner i
Delaney, acting for the city and the ;
operating company, that even in the
event of the equipment of the final see- j
tion of the Culver line not being i
finished by May 1 the city's part of i
tho contract will be recognized as hav- j
ing been completed and the five-cent '
fare will be effective on all rapid i
transit lines running to Coney Island.
By the agreement it will be possible!
for the passengers to ride between Six- '<
tieth Street, Manhattan, and Coney
Island over the Sea Beach, West End,
Culver nnd Brighton lines for a 5-cent:
lare. This service will be extonded
during the summer so as to include al
continuous 5-cent ride from the Corona
and Steinway sections of Queens, on
Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains, to
Coney Island.
It is estimated that the running time
between Times Square and Conev Isl?
and will be forty minutes by the Sea
Beach line, and forty-five minutes be?
tween Park Row and Coney Island by
the Brighton line. The distance be
I tween Coney Island and Queens Plaza
is approximately eighteen and a hair
miles and the distance between Coney j
Island and Times Square about sixteen I
miles.
Under existing conditions second
fares have been collected from pas-l
sengers bound for Conev Island at
Eighty-sixth Street, Brooklyn, on the
Sea Beach hne; at Fiftieth Street on ;
the West End line, and at Sheepshead :
Bay on the Brighton line. Second
fares have been collected from passen?
gers bound from Coney Island at
Eighth Avenue on the Sea Beach line,
Prospect Park on the Brighton line,
and at Ninth Avenue on the West End'
and Culver lines.

Former Employees
Of Science Papers
Explain Withdrawal
Had to Decide Whether to
Take Part in Circulation
of ^Policies They Opposed
or Quit, They Assert
Coincident with reports current here
yesterday that 200 employees of the
Christian Science Publishing Society in
Boston had walked out or been dis?
charged as the result of the resigna
tions last week of three of the editors,
Robert S. Ross, spokesman for the
Christian Science delegates of New
York State, last night made public a
letter prepared at the instance of the
former employees which explains why
they resigned.
The letter, which has been sent out
from the offices of the employment and
aid committee of the Church in Boston
to every congregation of Christian
Scientists throughout the world, Mr.
Ross said, is in part as follows:
"As the press has given currency
to reports that many employees of the
Christian Science Publishing Society
have recently resigned, we feel that
the field should be informed of the
motive which has actuated so many
Christian Scientists voluntarily to give
up their positions in the publishing
house.
"While many workers have been dis
missed or have resigned during the last
year, others of us have felt that we
could serve the cause most efFectrvely
by rcmaining in our places, even though
under increasingly difficult conditions.
Policy Called Destructive
"We have been in a position to see
that, regardless of the many appeals
and remonstrances from the field, both
I from churches and individuals, what
seemed to us a destructive, un-Christian
| and disloyal policy was pursued. Such
' a policy, if continued, would result in
i the adulteration of Christian Science
and the nullification of our Church
manual, with consequent loss to the
world of the effectual ministries for
good established, with God's guiding
hand.'by our ieader.
"Following the resignation of Mr.
McKenzie. Mrs. Hoag and Mr. Seeley
and others of the editorial staff of the
Christian Science periodicals, on
March 12. because, we understand, edi?
torial authority had been usurped by a
member of the board of trustees, the
vacancies wero filled by this trustee,
which act, in our opinion, is an open
violation of Article XXV, Sections 4
and 5, of the Manual.
"Thus we were brought face to face
with the problem of remaining in the
publishfcig house and taking part in
the printing and circulating of period?
icals which we regard as having ceased
to be organs of the Mother Church, or
of taking our individual stand for the
Manual and resigning our positions.
Those of us who have not been dis
missed have chosen to resign, regret
ting the circumstances which made this
action necessary."
The letter is signed "Former Em?
ployees of the Christian Science Pub?
lishing Society."
Haif of Force Out
According to Mr. Robs, the churches
here and throughout the country have
been asked to contribute money for the
assistance of the former employees,
many of whom may not be able to find
immediate employment. The numt>er
of resignations totals more than half
of the publishing force, he said.
Mr. Ross says the directors of the
Mother Church are required under tbe
by-laws to make the appointments to
the editorial board of the publi^ing
house, and that the trustees of the so?
ciety have only the power to empioy
those appointed. He characterizes the
acts of thc trustees in filling the edi?
torial vacancies without tbe consent of
the directors as "a repudiation of the
by-laws of the Mother Church insofar
as applicable to the affairs of the pub?
lishing society."
