Just before the end of the first part
of the concert De Wolf Hopper intro?
duced eight composers, Gurstav Ker?
ker. Kaymond Hubbell, Jerome Kern,
Irving Berlin, Ivan C'aryll. Victor
Jacobi. Rudolph Friml and Silvio Hein,
who seated themselves at as many
pianos, placed in groups of four at
either side of the stage, and joined the
band in playing "Semper Fidclis," one
of the best known of the Sousa
marches.
John Fulton, secretary of the Mu?
sicians' Club, paid tribute to Mr. Sousa's
achievements, in place of Walter Dam
rosch, who sent his personal felicita?
tions, and presented the bandmaster
with a laurel wreath on behalf of the
club. Speaking for Miss G?raldine
Farrar, Mr. Hopper presented a wreath
from the Lambs. Although called upon
for a speech, Mr. Sousa appeared too
much affected to talk. Following the
presentations, a flashlight was taken I
of the audience.
Among those who occupied boxes
were Judge Edward J, McGoldrick, rep?

Robert Alexander, Major General Bul
lard, Admiral Glennon, members of the
Republican Club and of the Musicians'
Club, a delegation of Elks, Franklin D.

Godowsky and Rosen
Heard in Sunday Concert
Pianist and Violinist Play Well
at Second of Series ' at
the Lexington
Leopold Godowsky and Max Rosen
were the artists at the second series of
Sunday evening concerts at the Lexing?
ton Theater la3t evening. Tbe perform?
ance of C?sar Fraitck's sonata in A
major, which opened the program, was
far from ideal. This was not the fault
o? Mr. Rosen, for the young violinist
came much closer to the spirit of the
composition than did his associate
pianist. Mr. Godowsky's playing, on
the other hand, showed that a great I
pianist is not necessarily a great en- j
semble player. His performance was j
curiously uneven. Stretches of velvet j
tone were followed by sudden spurts j
of forcefully exhibited technic. His
share in the playing of this composi
tion was hardly an interpretation. It '
was rather as if he had been reading !
at sight. Perhaps he does not care for
ensemble. Perhaps he would have been
happier if the piece chosen had been
a Beethoven sonata. However, in the
compositions by Chopin and Liszt that
followed, the pianist once more came
into his own. He performed many
wonders of technic and delighted with
the beauty of his tone.
Mr. Rosen played well in the sonata,
with just the right blending of smooth?
ly controlled technic and interpretative
warmth. His admirable talents were
even more ^effectively displayed in
pieces by Saint-Sa?ns, Sarasate and
Mr. Godowsky.

Information in Blast
Inquiries To Be Pooled
Report to Em hod y Findings of
Federal. State and City
Investigators
A comprehensive report of the vari?
ous investigations being made into the
Wall Street bomb explosion of Sep?
tember 16 will be made public in a few
days, according to statements given out
yesterday by the police and the De?
partment of Justice.
The report will embody complete de?
tails of all the individual investiga?
tions carried on by city, government
and private detective agencies. The
rounding up of all this information is
expected to assist the authorities in
carrying on the inquiry.
Agents of the Department of Justice
said yesterday that they were still
working on good leads and that sus?
pects arc being watched in Passaic I
and other towns in New Jersey.
Detectives made another visit yes?
terday to the old Post & Flagg Build?
ing, 38 Wall Street, which is being re- i
modeled for occupancy by the Mer- I
chants Bank of Canada. It was in this
building that a number of bundles of
sash weights similar to those con?
tained in the bomb were found Satur?
day.
Hoggson Brothers, the contractors j
who are remodeling the building, have
asserted that they did not begin to
overhaul the structure until several
days after the explosion. The building
had been vacant for some time, and the
Department of Justice is anxious to
know who frequented it prior to the
explosion.

Machine Guns Prevent
Mine Strikers' Meetings
State Troops Disperse Assem- '

Coal District
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 26. State
military forces under command of Gen?
eral B. E. Steiner prevented the hold?
ing of numerous mass meetings sched?
uled for to-day throughout the coal
mining district of the state by striking
miners.
Attempts were made to hold the
meetings, but troops on the scene ad?
vised union officials that they would
not be allowed. The crowds dispersed
without disorder.
At the smaller meetings ten to a i
dozen soldiers appeared, while at others
detachments of as many as seventy-five
men with machine ?runs were on hand. ;
At each place an officer in command
approached the union leaders and in- ,
formed them that the meetings would
not be permitted.
The military will give protection to i
strikers and operators alike, General j
Steiner said, and legitimate meetings
of the strikers in their halls or regular
meeting places will not be disturbed, j

Basic Building Materials
Advance to Record Prices
Quotations Since August 1 Show That Out of
Forty-two Commodities Reductions Have Been
Made for Only Ten, While Sixteen Go Skyward
Withering demand in an already
oversold market has so far had no gen?
eral price-cutting effect in building
materials, according to compilations
made by The Dow Service Daily Build?
ing Reports.
Since August 1, when the slackening
in new construction activity first began
to have a bearing upon the material
demand, price reductions have occurred
only in ten items out of forty-two basic
building commodities reporting. Of the
remainder sixteen report no price
changes whatever, and sixteen, on the
other hand, actually record price ad?
vances. The items sub-civided accord?
ing to price movements, covered deliv?
ered prices, except whene noted in the
table herewith.
There is an oversold condition in
practically all the basic building mate?
rial departments, with the possible ex?
ception of lumber. In some branches
of this department certain lumbers are
still hard to obtain and prices are firm.
In the Portland cement seetion it is
little realized by those demanding lower
prices that there is only approximately
a ten-day supply of this important
building commodity in the nation's re?
serve bins, or about 40,000 barrels for
each of the ninety-two companies. .
Big Brick Order Refused
In the common hrick department i
well known manufacturer last wcel
flatly refused to contract for ">0,000,00(
brick for spring delivery at $25 a thou
sand, although the market to-day is
raggedly ranging between ?i5 and $1S
for run of market brick. Everybody
in the trade knows that fuel shortage
has made it impossible to manufacture
brick in anything like anticipatory
quantities this year, and yet next year's
demand, judging from options .ought
in the market to-day, will prove the
present reserve to be inadequate be?
fore the brick manufacturing season
of 1921 is fairly under way. The pres?
ent price drop is due not to panicky
fear of threatened investigation of the
industry, but to a legitimate desire on
the part of manufacturers to unload
brick barges that have been lying at
docks for almost a quarter of a year,
piling up demurrage, so that they can
be sent back to the yards for reloading
and further shipment before they dis?
band their organizations next week for
the season.
In the lumber department the cuts
that have occurred are due primarily
to intra-trade competition and differ?
ences and a struggle to determine
within themselves who shall pay the
recent freight increases, the consumer
or the distributor. Price drop3 feature
some departments of yellow pine, North
Carolina pine and the hardwoods which
affect flooring. Douglas fir flooring
and dimension stock have dropped. The
shortage of cars is still a great factor
in causing the present ragged price
conditions in the lumber market.

turnable on November 6. The total
