ELKINS ART TO BE
ACCEPTED BY CITY
Councilmen Favor Tonus of Fin
ancier's Will Making Bequest
to Municipality
GALLERY IN FIVE YEARS
Tho $2,500,000 collection of 110 mas
terpieces of art left to the citv by the
will of Gcow "W. Elkins will be ac
cepted by Mayor Smith and Councils
upon tho passage of nu ordinance
which will be introduced in Councils
Because of a bill passed at the last
session ot we i..egnaiiire, cxciuiuiuk
bequests of this eharnctcr to the city
from state tax, the cost of the Rift to
the city will be much smaller than wits
the case in takinR over the wonderful
collection of the late John G. Johnson.
It is probable that the city will be
called upon to pay only a federal tax on
tho collection.
Mayor Smith expressed much gratifi
cation on learning of Mr. Elkins's gift
to the city.
"I have not conferred with Chair
man Gaffney, of Councils' finance com
mittee." he said, "but I believe li bill
should be introduced for acceptance of
the gift without delay. This may have
good effect toward influencing other men
to make similar benucsts.
"I was especially pleased to hear of
the $300,000 bequest for maintcunnce of
tho art collection. There is little
doubt of completing the art museum in
lime: in fact, I think it will be fin
ished within two years."
Quarters for Johnson Art
Incidentally, the Mayor spoke of the
tollectiou left the pity by the late
John G. Johnson and said he believed
his successor would arrange to pro
vide duartcrs for it.
Qity officials today characterized the
gift as generous in the extreme, raw.
cially as it carries with it a fund of
$500,000 for the preservation and for
additions to the collection. The one
i cstriction of completing the Art Pal
ace on the Parkway within five years
they feel can bo easily met.
Joseph P. Gaffney, chairman of
Councils' finance committee, today an
nounced that he would prepare an or
dinance accepting the gift if members
of tho Fairmount Park Commission do
not forward such a measure to him be
fore tho next meeting of Councils.
The effect of the passage of the ordi
nance would give .the city the collec
tion with the proviso that it he re
turned to the Elkins family if tho art
palace is not completed within the
stipulated five years. In the meantime
it is understood that the paintings will
icmuin in their present gallery.
Will Save $250,000
No sooner had the bequest become
Known than the question of tho cost
to the city was carefully gone into. It
is believed that tho bill sponsored by
Cjllllinile' 1nr.to1r.fi.rA Ann .m! li j .... ....I
wuuviw 1C()WIUI,,V- WlUUiHICC UAUlIipi-
mg cities from state taxes on bennestK
of this character will apply in this case
nnd will save the city an outlay of a
quarter ot a minion dollars. The ques
tion of what federal taxes wlil have to
be met in accopting tho collection and
$500,000 iund will bo determined Inter.
In discussing this phase Chairman
Gaffney said: "I belicvo the city will
qot have to pay a state tax on the be
quest, as was the case when it took
over the famous Johnson collection. The
most recent legislation would seem to
leave us out of that expense.
"Tho gift itself, with the reasonable
provisions surrounding it, is a mag
nificent oue for Philadelphia. This city
is rapidly taking front rank ns an art
center and tho Elkins collection, added
to the Johnson collection, tho Wilstach
collection of early American portraits,
puts us near tho head of tho list.
Work Now Under Way
"Thcro should be no trouble in com
pleting an art palace in tho timo speci
fied, as work is now underway and
several millious have already been au
thorized in loans. A new loan could
easily take care of any balance that
will be needed to press the work to as
early a completion ns possible. Tho
proviso placing a five-year limit on tho
gift is eminently fair and just and the
city would havo no excuse or reason
for not making good." .
The city in taking over the Johnson
collection was forced to pay taxes
amounting to between $000,000 and
$1,000,000 at a time when tho money
could be ill afforded. The fact that the
cost entniled in taking over the Elkins
collection will be relatively small
nerves to enhance the value of the gift
In tho eyes of city financiers, as well
as of members of the Fairmount Park
Commission, who will have control of
the gift once it is turned Over to the
city.
Sidney W. Keith, a member of tie
Fairmount Park Commission, said ho
was glad to hear that tho city would ac
cent the Elkins collection without delay.
"I think that tho provision that art
gallery must be completed within nve
years will be easily met." said Mr.
Keith. "In fact, I think It will be
completed much before that time. All

Small Hut Select Collection
The Elkins nrt collection is small but
select. It is made up of thirty of the
finest paintings ever produced.
Each picture shows careful discrim
ination on the part of tho collector.
Each is tho representation of the finest
vtork done by the lespcctivc artists,
Not one in the collection is mediocre.
In purchasing paintings, Mr. Elkins
never considered n canvas because of
the artist's name it bore. Hut rather
from how the theme appealed to him
nnd whether or not it was the very
best, or one of the best, tho artist was
capablo of producing.
It was in this manner that the fine
collection of eighteenth century English
portraits, the best examples of Gains
boro, Reynolds, ltcyburn, Hopper and
Coates found their wny into his col
lection. The best of the 15urbl7on Scohol
including those of Corot, Daublngny,
Diaz, Duptc, Trojton, Millet and Kous
scan also were selected by the phi
lanthropist. Among the most famed and most
sought after today arc the "Sheep Pic
ture," bv Antoino Mauve, from the
Joseph Jefferson collnction, nnd a
"Heading from Homer," by Alma
Tademn. Roth of these were purchased
by Mr. Elkins at private sales. For the
former ho paid $-15,000; and for the
latter. $".0,000. While huviug been of
fered fabulous sums for both these can
vasses by bmirislring art dealers, they
were favorites with the great financier
and he refused to part with them. "The
Lifeline," by AVinslow Homer, at his
best, is another to be put in this class.
Among tho nl English puiutings urc
John Constnblp's celebrated painting of
"Tho f.ock" nnd works by Uomney nnd
Moi eland.
Rembrandt Represented
In the Dutch group of the collection
are two portraits by Rembrandt. One,
that of a man, is considered among the
greatest ever painted bj the Hollander.
A innrlnu by Jacob vim Rii.sduel, which
is believed to be tho only canvas of
that "genre" ever done by this painter
of casculcs and wtcrfalls, is perhaps less
valuable, but greatly exceeds the other
Huysdacls in the collection.
"Laughing Child." by Frans Hnls,
is one of the greatest character studies
to come from the brush of this painter,
who is famed for portiaying human
smiles. Terburg's "Wnitlug for Or
ders," said to be the finest from this
master, is another woithy of men
tion. The Dutch group urther contains a
number of works by what are kuown ns
"Tho Little Hollanders." There ore
three Van Ostndes, four Aelbert Cuyps,
Aert van tier Nerr, Jan Stceu, Teuiers
nnd a splendid animal study by Paul
Potter, "Horses Near Stable." Aside
from theso there is a Ferdinand Rol
portrait and a Meindert Hobbcnia land
scape. The feature among modern Dutch
pictures is a Joseph Israels."
Ueorge Innes's magulHceut landscape
represents modern Americans. These
arc the most striking of the collection,
There nre more snlcudid modern Tinl.
ians aud bomo beautiful examples of
Frit- Thaulau Vollon, the great still
life painter, nnd other great masters of
lorcign countries.

COUNCILMEN TO ACT! MUSICIANS DIVIDED I
W RIVER BRIDGE! ON PFEIFFER MOVE!
Committee Today Will Try to
Provide City's Share of
Cost From Loan
NEW IDEA TO REPRESENTED
I The city is expected to make good its
'share in the first jear's cost of the
i Philndclphla-Camden bridge out of a
S2,00(l,000 temporary loan to be framed
bv Councils' finance committee this
afternoon.
Philadelphia's shaie for J Old' is
$250,000, nnd this sum has been tenta
tively included in the loan for final
i ction today. There is a possibility that
exhausted salary items may atthe last
minute prevent action, but this is re
mote. If present planR are carried 'out, the
' Smith administration will make good on
the bridge plan, leaving the second
ear's appropriation of $500,000 to be
. provided out of loan funds by the new
'Mayor and Council next spring.
New Jersey already has provided
i R500.000 for the present year and has
legislation providing nn additional
SI ,000.000 for 1020 and such further
i sums in future jears as may be needed
, to complete the structure. The last
' Legislature of Pennsylvania appro
priated S750.000 for this and next year,
provided ilic cuy puis up ;i hru sum
for the first two years' cost.
Architects' plans call for nn cipen
diture of between $12,000,000 and
.15,000,000 and construction work will
cover three to four ears. So far pre
limlnnn commissions from this state
and from New Jersey have confined
themselves largely to a question of
location.

Henry Cordon Thunder Becomes,
Musical Director of Local
Society
ACTION MAY END OLD ROW1
Opponents nnd supporters tell differ
ent stories today in explanation of the
Midden 'resignation of Walter Pfelffer
ns musical director of the Philharmonic
Society. Henry Oordon Thunder, the
organist, has been appointed to fill the
vacancy nnd has alrrady assumed the
directorship.
It was reported today that the re
tirement of Mr. Pfelffer would result in
the return of the faction which broke
away L'om the society, under the lead
rrshipV Mrs. Hrnest T. Toogood. and
formed the Philharmonic Sjmphony So
ciety. .
Another result of the resignation is
the postponement for a month of the
five Sunday evening concerts which were
to have begun on November 23.
Discord has existed in the Philhar
monic Society for a long time and re
sulted in the secession of the Toogood
faction last spring. Mr. 1'felffcr's sup
porters assert that his enemies exerted
themselves to discredit him. His op
ponents sny the fight against him was
due to his efforts to "Prussianize" the
orchestra, ,
During the fight within the society
that went on last spring Pfelffer was
suddenly dropped ns first violin of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, llecharced that
his discharge was the result of attacks
liy his enemies in the Philharmonic So
ciety, lie asserted Hint Mrs. Toogood
had circulated statements about him
which were misleading. Arthur Judson,
manager of the Philadelphia Orchestra,
said at that time that Pfelffer's contract
with the Orchestra was not renewed
because he asked for a salary increase.
During the dissension it was said that
Pfeifler wished to "transform the mu
sical society into a Sunday night Ger
man vcrcln."
Mr. Pfeiffev sent announcement of
his resignation through the mails yes
terday to supporters and former sup
porters of the society, but gave no rea
son for his action. A group of men and
women who seceded from the body In
May, declare he quit after a falling-out
with the board of directors.
Official -vonlirnintiou of that was
was ohtuiucd , from officers of the
organisation. Adversaires of Mr.
Pfelffer's administration say that he in
sisted upon giving n rendition of "The
Damnation of Viiust" with tweuly
sW voices, an undertaking which they
said was artistically Impossible. That,
they claim, led to his resignation.
At Mr. Pfciffcr's home, KW South
Fifty-first street, he was said to have
bcsn awav from the city. Mr.
Pfciffcr's brief announcement of the
resignation baid :

Friends of Mrs. Toogood insist that
she organised the body and that Mr.
Pfelffer's claim to that record is with
out basis.
Mr. Thunder, the now director, an
nounces thnt he contemplates a series
of popular concerts, the first of which
will take place in December iu the

"We hope," said Mr. Thunder, "lo
