One is forced to the con clusion that Harrisburg possesses a fine sense of musical discrimination. The stage of Fahnestock Hall was gay with daffodils and primroses with a background of palms and ferns, making a charming setting for Miss Hinkle, who sat upon the stage dur ing - the evening owing to a lameness resulting from a broken ankle which she suffered a month ago. Miss Hlnkle's first number, the aria from Cliarpentier's opera, "Louise," disclosed to the listeners and especially lovely soprano, full of color and warmth throughout Its entire range, the upper tones being particularly clear and flute like Schubert's "Du Blst Die Ruh" and the old Irish "Lullaby," were fine ex positions of smoothness and mezao voce. The Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria." with cello obligate was so enthusiastic ally applauded that Miss Hinkle was compelled to repeat it. As an encore to her group of songs Miss Hinkle sang Mary Turner Salter's lovely "Come Into the Garden, Love." It Is seldom that one singer com bines so many qualities that make for success as does Mr. Connell. Ho not only has a most excellent natural voice but he also possesses a rare intelligence that is disolayed In flawless interpre tation of the test, and draws from his hearers that most subtle flattery, a ouiet that can be felt. His rendition of Wolf-Ferrari's "Weary, So Weary," with its unusual unaccompanied mono tone passages, will long be remember ed. In response to the first group of songe he gave Grieg's "In Schwann," and his other encores were a charming •ninature song by Humphrie's, "Time to Rise," and "Away on the Hill," by Ronald. Mr. Kefer delighted the audience with his cello numbers, the "Chants Russes ' was especially pleasing, and his technique was amply sufficient for the demands that the ponper arrange ment of the Hungarian Rhopsodv made unon It. He played Salnt-Saeri's "Le Cygne" beautifully in recognition of the generous applause. "La ci darem" from Mozart's onera "Don Giovanni" closed the program. The artists were fortunate In their selection of an accomoanist as Wll linm Reddlck's article accompanying pdded much to the pleasure of the even ing-. Freight Rates Not a Controlling Factor in Fixing Price of Coal By Associated Press Philadelphia, March 20. John F. Auch, vice-president and traffic man ager of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company, declared on cross examination to-day, in the Government suit against the Reading Company and others, that freight rates were not a controling factor in determining the price of anthracite coal. The Govern- I went, in Its suit, attempting to separate the Reading Company from its control of the Jersey Central Railroad and other railroads and coal companies af filiated with the Reading or Jersey Central. Mr. Auch, who Is a witness for the defense, said that coal prices are fixed by other factors than rates, market conditions largely entering into the question. At sotne points, where the freight rates was lower, coal prices might be higher. In answer to further questioning by Frederick R. Coudert, of counsel for the Government, lie said he did not think prices would necessarily be affected even if railroads carried the fuel free of charge. Mr. Coudert quoted a letter from President Baer, of the Reading. to President Fowler, of one of the other anthracite roads, written In 1906, in which the Reading's chief feared that if other roads reduced coal freight rates the coal companies would have to reduce prices. Asked if he agreed with the Reading's president, Mr. Auch stuck to his position that prices were determined largely by other factors than railroad rates.
