Last Evening
Last evening, at the Phillips stu
dio, Miss Mnry Buttorff, soprano and
soloist at Grace M. E. Church, gave
a song recital of unusual interest and
merit. She opened the program with
the "Polonaiso" from Mignon. This
was given with clarity and marvel
lous precision in the coloratura pas
sages, nnd showed her flexible voice
at Its best. The group of old Eng
lish songs had a charm all their
own, because of their quaintness and
grace; and also because of the re
sourceful interpretations given them.
The French group was made up of
three songs of the eighteenth and
nineteenth century periods and one
song by a composer still living. The
tone quality in these songs, as well
as the French diction, was very de
lightful. The fourth group, made
up of American songs, probably
made the deepest impression. "Dawn
in the Desert," "An Indian Love
Song," and the "Grey Wolf" were
the numbers given, and stirred the
audience to a high pitch of enthusi
asm: especially Burleigh's "Grey
Wolf," which was delivered with a
dramatic power and Insight rarely
equaled oi) the concert stage.
Group five contained songs by mis- I
cellaneous composers, and these
were all interesting and sung with
style and convincing sincerity.
Miss Buttorff showed the true val
ue and usefulness of her beautiful
voice in this program. She did trills,
softer passages, dramatic phrases
and coloratura work all with the
same case and control. Her voice is
rich in quality and capable at will of
great potf'er, and she was enthusiast
ically applauded and congratulated
at the close of the program. Mrs.
Phillips played the accompaniments
in her usual finished style, and Har
old E. Malsh played with rare skill
two violin obligatos for Miss But
torfT.
BERKS-DAUPHIN
TURNPIKE FREE
Continued from First Page
fourteen toll houses along the road;
one each in Wernersville, Robesonla,
Womelsdorf, Stouchburg, East My
erstown, Half-Way, Narrows, Heb
ron. Sunnyside, Sporting Hill, Mil
lard's Quarry, Palmyra and Junction.
The toll charges over this road are
$1.02 or about three cents for each
mile traveled.
Old Corporation
The turnpike was chartered by an
act of Assembly approved March 2,
IXOS, incorporation following in
1816, and originally extended from
the Schuylkill river to the Susque
hanna river. The portion lying be
tween the Schuylkill river and Wer
nersville was freed by Berks county
about nine years ago and that por
tion of the turnpike extending from
Harrisburg to Hummelstown was
freed a number of years ago by
Dauphin county.
This pike is a portion of State
highway route 139, extending from
Harrisburg to Lebanon, and also of
route 149, extending from Lebanon
to Reading. It Is fifty feet wide and,
under a recent ruling by the Public
Service Commission, has undergone
repairs at the hands of the company.
The negotiations were conducted
by First Deputy State Highway Com
missioner Joseph W. Hunter, on the
part of the State Highway Depart
ment, and by William M. S. Moore,
of Womelsdorf, president of the
Berks and Dauphin Turnpike Com
pany. and by William R. Rodell, of
Lebanon, who is secretary of the
company.
• DauplUn Leads Off
On June 6. C. C. Cumbler, Henry
M. Stine and H. C. Wells, Commis
sioners of Dauphin county, certified
to the State Highway Department
their willingness to assume their
proportion of the cost of freeing this
toll road.
On June 16, L. J. Gilbert. Will H.
Erb and E. Hartman, Commis
sioners of Lebanon county, took the
same action and to-dav a certificate
was received at the State Highway
Department from Harry D. Matthew,
Daniel G. Gable and J. Calvin Her
bin, Commissioners of Berks county,
in which they assume their propor
tion of the cost.
A number of details remain to be
adjusted but it is assured that the
read will be freed to the traveling
public about the middle of August.
State Highway Commissioner Black
expressed himself this morning as
being extremely gratified at the suc
cessful conclusion of the negotiations
and stated that he considered a great
burden would be removed from the
traveling public by the freeing of
this important highway.

Move to Overcome
Traffic Conditions Meets
With Wide Approval
There wus general approval to
day of City Commissioner Lyncli's
statement that some real effort must
be made to overcome the traffic con
ditions In the central part of the
city. Owing to the building opera
tions of the Penn-Harrls hotel.
Third street between Walnut and
Market must be made a one way
street and some similar arrangement
wilt have to be made In Walnut
street between Third and Fourth.
There Is also some Indifference of
automobile twners as to blocking
of Market street. This Is the principal
shopping district of the city and
many machines are allowed to stand
for hours along the sidewalks while
their owners attend moving picture
shows, baseball games or spend the
time elsewhere.
It is probable that some definite
arrangement will be made soon to
free these streets of a growing ob
struction to reasonable flow of traf
fic.
