meeting in Tenleytown condemning the action of Superintendent Chancellor for making an Inspection tour of the colored schools of the South during the session of the Washington schools The resolution was supplemented by the suggestion that if Dr Chancellor would remain at home and con- scientiously discharge his duties to the public schools over which he presides he would commend himself more fav- orably to the fairminded citizens and gl 0 better assurance of his desire to discharge the duties required of his oilier Resolutions were also offered favoring the passage ot a bill which now be fore

m the National Theater Rosenthal is1 unquestionably the great est piano technician in the world Yes- terdays audience was a large one but was not enthusiastic until the close of the program The flrst number was Beethovens great Sonata Opus lOW which was played with great depth The profound sentiment which he infused into the last movement left a deep hnprewion In the Chopin Sonata Opus ft which followed Mr Rosenthal really got down to his regulation brllHancs and aroused the musicians to real enthusi asmHis next great feat was the laying of the Chopin waltz In D IUt which in Itself is a simple enough little but played as did it was a gigantic accomplishment He played at a lightning tempo in thirds and In the simple melodious second part he interwove the running flrst p rt At the end he transformed the long run Into a chromatic in thirds which was like streak of lightning The same brilliant feats were accent plished with his own Humoreske and Fugato on Strauss themes when he worked himself into such tempos ard excitement that he appeared to have forty hands and two brains at work all together and at times played four themes at once His own composition Papillona Butterflies is a gem and played as he played it carried out its title to the letter Mr Rosenthals playing has tho addi tional charm of no mannerisms no af- fections and no apparent effort He simply gets down to work puts lila brains and lingers and his whole atten tion to the thing before him He hears nothing and sees nothing but the keys until his work is done and done as no one else could do

and Borneo the motor car trade Is yet in Infancy In Singapore there are at present about sixty passenger machines and some fifteen to twenty freightcarrying lorries There are but two cars on the market here The balance are entirely Rngllsh and French in manufacture This is ap parently a fault of American manufac- turers because their deliveries are so uncertain while with European com etitors they are most prompt a cable followed by shipment by the first boat out Then again freight rates are too high from the manufacturers Impossibility to enter the market until something has been done to lower rates In the city and the cars are all owned doctors professional and some few motor and the interest in motor trade grows daily The field practically for many years It has as yet been thoroughly gone over nor have the ma- jority of the right people been ap- proached for the sale of motor cars The demand for motor cars Is Increas- ing and aside from Singapore It is growing extensively in the Federated Malay States and in Sumatra and the other islands In this vicinity The Chi- nese and nattves take to motoring kindly their chief interest being cen- tered in the

Members of the Citizens NorthwestSuburban Association are much exercis-ed over the absence from the city ofSuperintendent of Public Schools Chancellor Their displeasure took the formof a resolution presented last night attheir regular meeting in Tenleytowncondemning the action of SuperintendentChancellor for making an Inspectiontour of the colored schools of the Southduring the session of the Washingtonschools

The resolution was supplemented bythe suggestion that if Dr Chancellorwould remain at home and con-scientiously discharge his duties to thepublic schools over which he presideshe would commend himself more fav-orably to the fairminded citizens andgl 0 better assurance of his desire todischarge the duties required of hisoilier

Resolutions were also offered favoringthe passage ot a bill which now before Congress for the election of twoRepresentatives from the District andfor the appointment of a committee toappear before the Appropriation Com-mittees of to advocate thepassage of bills providing for nurovemeats asked for in recommendations toCongress and the Commissioners

The same brilliant feats were accentplished with his own Humoreske andFugato on Strauss themes when heworked himself into such tempos ardexcitement that he appeared to haveforty hands and two brains at work alltogether and at times played fourthemes at once His own composition
