Legislature Meets "With the reconvening of thp Legisla ture this week, Governor Edwards an ticipates the introduction of a bill carrying out his lecommcndations for tho immediate removal of the present public utility commission, the appoint ment of u new commission to serve temporarily and the formation of an elective commis'-ion of three members, to be chosen at the election r.oxt Novem ber. The Edwards idea of solving the public-utilities problem will meet with competition in tne rorm ot puis pre pared by Assemblyman Rowland, of Camden, and Senator ltunyon, of Union. The Rowland bill, already in troduced, provides for the election of a public utilities commission of three members by the Legislature in joint session. The Runyou bill, which has not yet been introduced, will embody tho ideas of Senator ltunyon outlined in his message to the Legislature as acting gocrnor. The Runyon idea con templates an appointive commission of three members, one to be an engineer, one a lawyer and a man of hnancial experience. Rumors that Governor Edwards had definitely decided to reappoint Thomas P. Martin as secretary of state have brought from Governor Edwards a dec ' laration that no such decision has been reached, but, on the contrary, that his mind is still open respecting the selec tion of a new secretary of state and upon all other appointments he will bavc to make. It is not the present intention of Gov ernor Edwards to name a successor to tho late George E. Rlakeslee on the State Highway Commission. The governor has taken the position that the commision, composed of eight members, is too large and unwieldly and should be reduced in size. Therefore, ne leeis u woum ue in consistent for him to fill the vacancy. FLONZALEY QUARTET GIVES GOOD CONCERT Plays Quartets of Beethoven and Mozart, With a New Work by Daniel Gregory Mason The Flonzaley Quartet performed at yesterday's meeting of the Chamber Music Association nt the Bcllcvuc Stratford before the usual largo au diences that these meetings have at tracted all season, Tho quartet ap peared in three numbers, the op. 135 of Beethoven (tho last of the string quar tets), the D major quartet of Mozart and two movements ot n quartet on negro themes by Daniel Gregory Mason. There need be and can bo little said about the playing of the rionzalejs. There was the same finish and perfec tion of ensemble thnt the organiration nlwavs shous, with the same painstak ing care in matters of interpretation, as well as balanco of tone und tho otaer details of uctual plajing. They played the Beethoven number with greater ad herence to the Beethoven tradition of quartet playing than any work of that comnoer that they have yet pei formed in Philadelphia, with tho possible cr ccption of the high speed with which they took the last movement, thus giving tin excitement nnd intensitj to the movement which the character of the themes and the manner of declopment hardlv seem to warrant. The lento, one of the finest of the Beethoven slow movements, was exquisitely done, nnd the scherzo was nlso well plajcd, it being probably the most difficult quaitet movement ever written rhthuneally for all the instruments and technically for the first violin. The Mo7art quartet was played in nbout the same stylo as the Beethoven. The Flonzaleys are at their best in compositions where beauty of tone and an exotic, almost sensuous, manner of playing and interpretation arc in keep ing with tho style of tho composition. This fits better in tho works of Debussy, Hugo Wolf, or the modern French com posers than in those of Mozart. The scherzo and the finale were plaved at a speed which in places almost tnreat cned the dignity of the movements, which was saved by the flawless tech nique and the tonal beauty of the quartet. As in the Beethoven, the fin est playing was done in the slow movement. The third number on the program was Mr. Maeon's quartet, this being the second time in two days that his name has appeared on an important concert program in this city, Mr. Wcrrenrath having sung a group of his songs for baritone and orchestra at the sym phony concert last week. The quartet is probably the best work by Mr. Mason that has been heard here. It has far more real musical feeling than either the symphony, performed a couple of seasons ago, or the Mings given by Mr. Wcrrenrath, while at the same time there is all of the fine workmanship and knowledge of the re sources and limitations of the instru ments emped that the other works revealed. The quartet is modern in feeling and in construction, but it is not labored. It made a most favor able impression and. like the other works, was superbly played. By some curious slip the program notes relating to the Mozart quaitet were not those of the D major, the one performed, but the C major, one of tho same set, the one containing the introduction with the' famous "faiso relations" which occupied tho attention of music theorists and critics for many years after the death of the composer.

A relief train with doctors and Red Cross nurses left here very shortly after news of the wreck was re ceived.

TO WAR ON FREE PHONES Mayor to Aid Move Against Abuse of City Service Mayor Moore is taking an interest in "Director of Public Safety Cortelyou's steps to cit off free city telephone, from persons who have no right to tnem. "We are look'ng over the city tele phono list," said Major Moore, "just as wo are looking over the list of users of city automobiles. Telephones are being taken from places in which there should be ro city service. Some of the members of tin old Councils still have telephones, but these will be cut off soon' Washington, .Tan. 20. Direct evi dence to combat the claim of the union miners that 'they should be granted a 00 per cent increase in wages will be presented this week by thet operators to ttin rnn pmnmlssinn nnnointed b.v the President to cvohc nu adjustment of tho existing diffinilticr between sue miners and the operators. This will be the first time tho mine records of the operators will havo been nlaced before the public. "In the nrray of data to be pro touted to the commission," sajs a statement issued bv the operators, "payroll ewdence will be offered by the central competitive operators to show thnt the miners, in most fields, can make from $10 to $12 a day. and that $15 a dav can be earned readily in the richer mining districts, which operate from 200 to 275 days a year. It will be shown that comparativelv few of the men in the field work steadily and that if they did. their yearly earnings would be iucreaed by from 15 to 20 per cent. This, they will show, would not add one "cnt n ton to the present productive price of coal. "All of these figures will bo used to controvert the statements of John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, und other miners' representative-, that the earnings have been under !?000 a year and that present rates arc such as to mnlie it impos sible for the miners to live decently. "The operators will offer figures from their books to show that tho number of the days for work is a great deal more than the ISO to 200-day ear, which the miners claim is the maximum. The operators figures for the central competitive field hhow that in 101S the mines in the Pittsburgh district worked 209 days, in the Ohio fields, 223 days: in Indiana, 227 days, and in Illinois 5S days. "From their payroll sheets the on- crators will show that miners in every field have arbitrarily refused work when it was obtainable, the percentage of idle miners varjitig from 12 to 10 per cent, or more, in different fields. "The onerators will argue that the frrnnleit. which was absorbed bv tlio operators without any iucrcaso in tho price of conl to the consumer, was more thau enough to cover any Incicuso iu the cost of living." GARFIELD OPPOSES HIGHER MINE WAGES Clilcnco. Jan. 20. Dr. II. A. Gar field, formerly fuel administrator, in an article written for-Fnrm nnd Homo de clares tho compromise that ended the coal strike is "unsound iu principle and n menaco to our institutions." "Tho wages now pniu to mine work ers arc sufficient," ho Bays. "Tho op portunity that should be given the mine workers cannot be secured merely by an increase in wages." In proof Doctor Garfield cites the average of ?050 u year earned by tho lowest paid miners working 180 days in the year, while for 200 days' work the average miner in the bituminous field of Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois earned $1000 iu 1018 nnd $1300 last year, "Tim nubile outfit not to be naked to pay more for conl," he bays. "It is impossible to increase tho wage of tho mine worKcrs wiiuuui iul-iuijs me wind ers in every other industry, including, nf rmirse. nsrrlculturc. to demand an in crease in wages. This would send the cost of living upward In u vicious spiral." Doctor Garfield urges a permanent fuel administration as a consultive und advisory tribunal.
