known as the Murray Hill section, north
of Thirty-sixth street nnd east of Madi

ana ror tha personal pleasure, comfort
and cxclUKlveness of the persons owning
such property." It Is. pointed out Unit
on the east side of Madison avenue, be
iween Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh
streets, are two houses owned by the
Morgan family. Mr. Astor'a petition
continues;
"Mr. J, Plerpont Morgan, through his
attorney, Kdmund I.. Itnvllna. nlso coun
sel for the Murray Hill Association, of
i men air. Morgan was and In president,
t all the hearings on the districting
plan at which the Murray Hill residen
tial aone was considered urged that the
Aator houses on Madison avenue should
be put In the residence district, his ob
vious object being to make tho Astor
nouses serve as a barrier to keep busi
ness from approaching nearer the Mor
gan houses.
"This object haa been accomplished.
Although the eight Astor houses lie on
the other side of the avenue and are
surrounded by business, they have been
sliced from a block otherwise entirely de
voted to business, and have been re
trlcted to residential uses. The result of
restricting your petitioner's property to
residence purposes has bocn to confiscate
a large part of Its vatuo for tho benefit
of Mr. Morgan and not for the public
good."
The Commission of Building Districts
and Restrictions- after repeated consid
eration recommended that the entire
westerly aide of Madison avenue be
tween Thlrty-flfth and Fortieth streets
be opened for business purposes, but the
recommendations were not followed by
the Board of Estimate.
The petition adds that after Mr. Bav
lies had tried In vain to get Mr. Pea
body's signature, representing Mr. As,
tor, to a petition to have the eight
houses on the westerly side of MtulKm

John r. Kox, secretary of the Murray

SYMPHONY SOCIETY '
GIVES 2 CONCERTS
Brazilian Pianist, Guloinar No
vacs, Ts Soloist in Aftor
noon Event.
HKK TONK IS BKAUTIFC'L
Kvoning Affair Is Devotod to
Tschaikowsky and
Wagner.
Two concerts were given by the Sym
phony Society In Carnegie Hall yester
day and both were the last but one In
their respective series.
In the afternoon the Young People's
Concert of the society took place lie fore
n large audience. The soloist was the
Brazilian pianist Gulomar Novaes. who
was heard In Chopin's Infrequently
played concerto for pianoforte In F
minor. She gave a beautiful perform
ance of the work, one confined entirely
to the poetic message of the music and
notable for an exquisite display of
nuance and tone color.
The other programme numbers were
Haydn's "Clock" .symphony and the
"Valse Lente" and "Pliglcatl" from De
llbes's ballet "Sylvia." The orchestra
playe'd the symphony as the first selec
tion ond Mr. Damrosch made some
prefatory remarks on the score. He also
told of the other well known Instance
In musical literature where the ('tick
tack" Is represented; namely, in the
allegretto of Beethoven's eighth sym
phony, which was written In memory
of Maelzel, the Inventor ot the metro
nome. At the start, after the national an
them had been rendered by the orchestra
and audience, Mr. Damrosch called at
tention to two new stars on the or
chestra's service flag suspended over the
stage, one being for a double bass
player who Is already with the colors
and tho other for tlie orchestra's first
'cellist, Mr. Roentgen, who wllljlkewlse
go to-morrow morning. '
In the evening, at the aociety's regular
Saturday night subscription concert, the
programme was derated largely to
Tschaikowsky and Wagner. Hulda
Lnshanska, the young local soprano, who
achieved success at her recent debut re
cital here., waa the soloist.
For the symphonic number the or
chestra repeated Its splendid per
formance of Tschalkowsky'a fourth
symphony, heard at the society's concert
week ngo. Tho second number was
Mme. Lashanka's singing of "Depuls le
Jour."
The selections from Wagner were the
"Dance of the Apprentices." from "Die
Mclsterslnger," and three operatic ex
cerpts arranged for concert by Walter
Damro.ch from "Parsifal," the "Proces
Mcn of the Knights of the Holy Grail."
Act I. ; the love music and "Brangaenc's
Warning," f'om "Tristan and Isolde,"
Act II., and "Siegfried PresseM Through
the Flames Brunnhlldt'n Awakening,"
Act III. The audience was very large.
LETZ QUARTET PLAYS.

Tlie second subscription concert of

quartet, No. o7i in the Koecliel cata
logues: Beethoven's In E flat, opus 127,
anil IHorak's American quartet, opus

form of Instrumental music
Mr. Lets and his associate gave a
good concert. Tnelr playing has smooth
ness and a well balanced ensemble to

tinction in their performance there la
sincerity, to which is added Hound mu
sicianship aided by good taste.

Aaaoclatlon Short 1132,000 mt
Amonni Needed.
llailey B. Burrltt, General Director of
the New Yolk Association for Improv
ing the Condition of the Poor, made
the following statement last night con
cerning the Association's effort to raise
$200,000.
"Up to and Including Saturday morn
ing's mall the returns for the A. I. C. P.
drive for funds totalled $148.000 or
$53,000 short of the total $200,000 need
ed to meet this year's deficit It Is
hoped that the two remaining days of
the drive will reduce the amount con
siderably, so that the remainder will
come In through the regular channels.
"In n way, the result Is most gratify
ing, not only because . It means food,
clothing and shelter for those unfortu
nates who are unable to provide for
themselves, but becau'o It again Illus
trates the noble responsiveness of New
Yorkers when made acquainted with the
real needs of their fellow mnn."
URGES OUTSIDE HAN
FOR SCHOOLS' HEAD
Public Education Association
Wants Hoard to Get
Nation's Host.
Declaring that the position of City
Superintendent of Schools recently
vacated by William H. Maxwell, with Its
$10,000 salary. Is of such educational
Importance to the country that politics
should not bo allowed to interfere with
the appointment, tho Public Kducatlon
Association jejterdny made a plea that
candidates outside the city be considered
by the Hoard of Education.
In ncron! with its suggestion the as
sociation submits the names and quali
fication of sixteen leading educators
from all parts of the country Among
them are Thomas K. Fincgan, Deputy
Commissioner of Kducatlon ; Calvin N.
Kendall. State Commissioner of Kduca
tirm for New Jersey ; Albert Shlels, Super
intendent of Schools In I.os Angeles, and
Charles H. JuId of the University of
Chlcaso.
"The position of Superintendent of
Schools for New York city." the state
ment says, "should be regarded as
neither a reward nor un opportunity for
Increase of salar) , let alone .is one of
the goals of political strategy. It
should be icgarded, ratht r, as an oftlcc
of supreme public trust and responsibil
ity, requiring the services of an educa
tional expert whose only legitimate claim
for appointment Is his unquestioned
leadership in his profession."
The association recalls that President
Arthur S. Somen of the board run given
his word that politics shall not enter
Into the selection of in. Maxwell's suc
cessor It hints that there are candi
datv now seeking appointment who are
of "minor ability'' ami political Influence.
"It Is to be hoped that the wishes of
the pii'ldent of the iniard will prevail."
tie statement sa)s, "despite the Inevit
able pressure that will be exerted from
all quarters to Influence him and his
colleagues to favor persons of minor
ability whose claims for recognition are
bard on little more than nn ambition
and a modicum of political Influence."

EARL BRASSEY DIES
IN LONDON, AGED 83
Owner of Noted Yacht. Sun
beam Did War Work in tho
Dardanelles.
lajsto.', Feb, 2.1. Earl Brasey, 83,
yachting enthusiast, authority on naval
subjects and one of the picturesque fig
ures or England, died here to-night
after an acute Illness of a few days.
His death came as a shook. While
It was known thai he had been In HI
health for some time, It was not believed
that his condition was such as to war
rant alarm.
Fof many years Karl Hrasey had
been prominent In yachting affairs of
the world. Ills yacht, the Sunbeam,
was famtylar on both aides of the Atlan
tic. A yachting record was made by the
little craft in 1314 when it sailed from
Aden to Bombay, a itstamce of 1,800
miles. In ten days and eight hours. ,
When the war started Kail Rrassey
Joined the Royal Navy Division and al
though 79 years old went to the Darda
nelles and participated In the naval op
erations there. Later he was engaged
In hospital ship work, ninklng weekly
tripe to France to carry over stores nnd
bring back Injured soldiers.
Tho Earl was arrested as nn English
spy In Kiel harbor on June 25. 1914.
which wns five weeks befoie the war
started, where he had gone In the Sun
beam for the regatta week. Leaving his
yacht In a dingy late one afternoon lie
started rowing around the harbor. When
passing near tlie Imperial dockyard n
policeman arrested him and held him for
an hour and fifteen minutes before he
obtained his release.
The elevation of Karl Brassey to the
peerage occasioned widespread comment
throughout England, nnd some criticism
of William E. Gladstone.
He began life at breaking stones by
the roadside. As time passed his father
amassed a fortune In Iron nnd left his
son a large fortune.
Soon nfterward the future earl mar
ried, and he and his wlfo made up their
minds to make their way In the social
wrrld. They set out to obtain a tltlo
and obtain It they did. Mrs. Brassey did
all sorts nf things in a charitable way.
Mr. Brnssey acquired a largo country
place In Sussex. After Alfred llward.
Prince of Wales and future King of
England, visited them Mr. Brassey ran
for the House of Commons and was
elected. Soon Afterward Mr. Gladstone
formed a new Cabinet and selected Mr.
Brassey as Civil Lord of the Admiralty.
This position led to his elevation to tho
peerage.
Earl Brassey attributed the start of
the war to the fact that "geographical
pressure on all sides has made Prussia
feel herself In a state of chronic strangu
lation, nnd a man who feels strangled
will struggle ruthlessly for breath."
