Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. trick, but the point Is, the trick of phrase is the thing in the concerto, and while there is little emotional there is not a little melody, especially in the slow movement, such a melody as Is pleasing to the ear and entirely characteristic. Mr.

Heifetz was at his brilliant best the last movement, he was the superlative artist throughout, for after all one may suspect that this is very far from being great music, the genius of the performer exalted it beyond Its merits. That, however, is an opinion after a single hearing, and is liable to change with better acquaintance. There, are few violinists to whom we would dare recommend the composition, not because of its merits or demerits, but liecause the technical difficulties are staggering.

Commissioner Addresses Architects and Engineers' Societies'. It is proper that crty people support rural road building because they use such roads, and because good roads are conducive to prosperity, Charles M. Babcock, state highway commissioner, asserted in an address Friday before the Minnesota Federation of Architectural and Engineering societies meeting in the Saint Paul hotel, St. Paul. Mr.

F.abcocK made comment on the fact that the gasoline tax amendment will take one-third of the funds from the state gasoline tax returns and give it to the counties "to spend as t'ney please." He warned the county engineers that great pressure will be. brought to bear upon them to put road building itno politics. The highway department, he said, is facing Increased demands, and is confronted with a decrease in revenue unless the gasoline tax is raised to 4 cents a gallon.

Senator Lommen, Sponsor of Tour, Denies Political Purpose. Eveleth, Feb, 22. Twenty-five Minnesota JppisUfnrR takinsr ad vantage cf a two-day holiday, ited a section of northern Minnesota today that ha been in diFpute before them for several weeks in the form of a resolution peeking: approval of the Ehipstead Newton bill.

But, it wag explained by member of the party, the visit to the iron rang and border country was made eolely as a pleasure trip, and not in the interest of "any person or bill" or "to make an Inspection of the border country." The party, which arrived Jisre last Faturday night, left for the border this morning, many returning early tonight. They wer the guests of Eveleth business men during their visit and were brought here by Senator George H. Lommen. They will return to St. Paul Saturday.

'The impression might be that the member of the legislative party have been brought to the border country in the interest of Backus or are making a first hand investigation of the country, before the house member vote on the resolution memorializing congresn to pass the Phipstead-Xewton bill," Senator Iximmen said in explaining the purpose of the trip. "This is not the case. The members were invited to come several weeks ago, and It was understood that politics would not be discussed. There was no 'picking' of any set of members. Any member that wanted to come was welcome.

We asked the authors of the McLean resolution 'to make thej trip. Many of those who came voted against the Adams amendment limiting the area In the Shipstead Newton bill and the houiw members will not be influenced in their voting just because of this trip." It was learned, however, that one of the members of the party, Senator Ignatius Lemm of Melrose, "who Thursday voted against the Adams resolution and for the bill, declared himself opposed to the measure after seeing the border country. It was his first visit to the region, he said, adding that "Backus should be given encouragement to develop this wilderness country." The legislature spent several hours at International Falls and some of them remained there for the night. Senator Lommen did not make the trip to the border. 33 Buttermakers Study Scientific Production Thirty-three buttcrmakers from all parts of the state wore studying the scientific side of their trade at university farm Friday as a part of the annual 10-day short, course ror creamery operators.

They listened to lectures on cream gra'rf-' ing. the bacteriology of milk and creamery accounting and during the afternoon tried their hands at butter analysis and judging under the direction of Dr. L. M. Thurston and C.

W. Frjhoefer. On Saturday the buttermakers will inspect Twin Cities' dairy plants. Many aero clubs are being formed In Australia. I Symphony Orchestra, A right royal welcome was accord- mi Verbrugghen and the or- at tne l.yceum intvm-r enlnsr, where a capacity audi ence greeien xne reiuint'u uivviria with a warmth, which there was no mistaking.

IVe are glnd to have the orchestra back again, we don't mind loaning It to those less favored than we are, but after all it is a very important of our life here in Minneapolis. Nor did the performances at tlii. homecoming concert disappoint those who heard them, for in addition to the orchestral selections, Jiischa. Heifetz, a prime, among violinists was heard in a new composition. So far as the opening number is concerned very little need be said, ener overime 10 i-Jr rin- cnueiz is auoui as lannnar hmu well liked as anything any orchestra plays.

It did, however, indicate the mood of the performers, for there was a fiinesse and cleanness) of phrase altogether desirable. This man "Weber certainly knew how to say what was in his mind and it was a mind open to all the romantic suggestiveness of the age in which he lived, certainly this overture, redolent of woods and bossy dells, never seems to lose its charm, simply because it is sincere and beautiful. Then followed the masterpiece of the evening: Brahms, fourth symphony. It is the natural thing nowadays to proclaim the simplicity of Brahms over against the horde of moderns who would usurp his place, but as a matter of fact no sensible director would make the mistake of assuming this last great ttymphonlc work by Brahms has anything simple In its structure. Mr.

A'erbrugghen approached his task with a certain reverence and a certain reserve, because the music is reserved. Here we find more suggestion than direct statement, and so much is suggested that it keeps the imagination busy trying to keep pace with Brahms lived a number of years after the fourth symphony was written and it is not impossible that he felt that in it was represented his valedictory, certainly it waa the last of his great works he heard before he died. It has all the firm knit structure of the symphonies that ante dated it, there are infinite depths to be explored by a conductor, the final movement exacts the greatest possible technical toll as It develops through the 30 odd variations and we have some right to add that reserve almost becomes austerity outside the third movement. It is about the finest example of classic form extant, and in this conception It grew majestically Into its full stature at this concert. Mr.

Verbrugghen did not merely provide tempos, he Instigated moods, he welded the whole together into a symmetrically rounded entity, noth ing exaggerated, nothing understat ed. It was an intellectual Brahms with not a little warmth and lyric wing in ine second movement, a joyous and care-free, mood In the second, and the finale more or less a dazzling geometric problem that was brought to its Q.E.D. entirely to our satisfaction. Mr. HeifeU tempted fate by bring ing a new work for his appearance with the orchestra, a work that re- (lUJred every atom of skill the or chestra possesses to give the right kind of background to the soloist, All went happily through the first two movements, but there was a struggle In the third that could be felt.

Tedesco's concerto is no technical trifle, Heifetz is the man for the work. It-Is built in the style that suits him best. That is not to indicate that he is simply and purely a technician with phenomenal ability. He is obliged in this composition to speak in an unusual vernacular, not by any means that of any known concerto.
