the Business and Professional en's Club. Three old friends, Adolfo Betti and Alfred Pochon, violins, and Iwan d'Archambeau, 'cello, were present and they, with the new viola player, Nicolas Moldavan, who has splendid tone and a rare genius for ensemble work, found great favor with the large audience. So liberal was the applause, in fact, that two numbers were added to the printed list. which is not a general rule in chamber concerts. The program was admirably balanced with the precise and exquisite loveliness of the Mozart major Quartet." the rare melodic beauties of Schumann in the "Quartet in A Op.

41, No. 1 and H. Wald, Warner's very modern 'The Pixy And the added numbers rounded out the variety of the evening's list. They were Eugene Goossens' "By the Tarn" and Ernest Schelling's exotic "Raga Tamil." As has been said more than once, and by more than one admirer of the work of the Flonzaley Quartet, it is possible to attend one of these concerts with thought only of the music offered. The playing may be taken for granted.

And go in the Mozart work last evening it was Mozart that was heard, Mozart expressed in almost orchestral breadth of tone at times and with exquisite finish in every phrase. Pure music and undefiled breathes here and when it is said that the playing fulfilled all one's desires for the interpretation of the work, the grace and charm of all the lovely answering phrases, the sturdiness of rhythm in the menuetto and the delights of the pondo, there is no need to say more. Schumann represents another phase in quartet Here is the romanticist, the melodist. fairly revelling in the beauty of his andante which last evening some of the most beautiful violin work was shown) and offering wonderful harmonies in the scherzo, which the players romped through as if it were the simplest thing in the world to play. In the adagio, a song seldom equalled in sheer molodic beauty is the offering of the strings and the final presto came in most intense spirit and in great charm in its ingenious and beautiful ending.

The fairy number, by Warner, is a series of short sketches with the first scene set in all the quiet glorles of muted tones. The atmosphere of the piece is admirably suggested. The does not descend at any time "program" level but it is musta, extremely picturesque, it contains some comedy measures, it is fanciful and fleeting as fairy music should be, and it is soldidly musicianlike. The playing was wholly delightful, In Gossens's "By the Tarn" the modern note is strongly sounded. There are strange harmonies of muted tone and attractive dissonances.

The Schelling piece is a showy, weird bit in wailing tone with relentless, hollow tappings on two of the instruments. the added numbers were any thoughts for music than given as if the players never, had the modern, never dreamed of Beethoven, or Mozart, or Brahms, or Schumann. Which shows, it anything is needed to show, the quality of the Flonzaley Quartet. KINSELLA ESTATE ABOUT $300,000 Partial inventory of the estate of the late Richard J.

INCREASED PAVING PROGRAM PLANNED Mayor Already Considering Amount of Street Improvement. City Treasurer Slocum, clerk of the board of finance, will deliver today to all city departments and branches the abnual call of the finance board the submission budget estimates, and request that careful consideration be given applicatior, "to the that the tax rate may be levied at the lowest possible limit consistent with true economy." Following the presentation of departmental estimates, the figures will be tabulated by the treasurer and statistics for the new fiscal year, as well as for the last few fiscal periods, will be compiled for perusal by the finance board, acting as a budget committee.

The letter requests submission of the appropriation needs on or before December 1, a little carlier than usual. School Districts Later: As the school equalization tax is based on the registration for the fall term, which ends December 23, the reports of the nine school districts cannot be filed until later. The finance board, therefore, will request that these figures be submitted by December 28. Notice to the districts to this effect will be forwarded later. Street and Education.

The proposed budgets of the street department and of the schools will be the most important measures for consideration. Following the action last year when an increased was made for improved paving, it is likely that the joint meeting of the street and finance boardg in preparation for the 1926-1927 budget will devote considerable time to the paving project. Mayor Stevens has already started consideration of this matter. For the present fiscal period, the total budget allotment of the city government was $8,693,848, of which $2,882,137.55, or 33.15 per cent. was for education.

Protection of life and property called for $1,444,407.32, or 16.62 per while the appropriation under the heading of highways Was $1,030,273, comprising 11.85 per cent of the total. The Tax Rate. Based on a grand list of 000 and a farm list of $433,000, the tax rate on the grand list for this year is 19 1-2 mills, and the rate on the farm list is 10 1-2 mills, Mayor Stevens said yesterday that it is impossible at this time to determine anything in reference to the rate for the next fiscal year, pending the receipt of appropriation requests of departments and the income which the finance board may set as an estimate. It will depend, in a measure, on the grand list for the year, figures on which will be given the finance board late in December. OBITUARY.

Charged with the theft of $106 from Mrs. Eugene G. Relsing of East Hartfird, wife of the firearms expert now involved in the activities of New York's "cowboy" bandit gang, Alfred S. Larson, 31 years old, of Goodwin street, East Hartford, was arrested yesterday by Chief William J. McKee of the East Hartford police.

According to the story told to the police, Mrs. Reising last Tuesday gave Larson the money to keep for her.

Here, Larson says, he set upon by five men, kidnaped, assaulted, robbed and, muen the worse for wear, thrown from an automobile somewhere near Broadway and 43d street, New York. He WaS beaten by his kidnapere, Larson says, because he could give them no information as to what disposition Relsing had made of certain stolen automobiles This treatment continued all the way to New York, the man declares. Upon his return to East Hartford, Larson was visited by Chief McKee who had been informed, by a mysterlous telephone message, that money belonging to Mrs. Reising and trusted to Larson, had been stolen.

Larson admitted having received the $106, but says he returned it to Mrs. Reising on Wednesday morning before he started on his fateful trip to the Hartford post office. Mrs. ReisInge had placed the money beneath a pillow in a bedroom, Larson said. Mrs.

Reising, however, said she had not received the money, nor did 8. thorough search of her house by Chief McKee reveal it. Larson was then examiped by Chief McKee, and was not found, according to the chief, to be suffering from many visible marks of the violent treatment said to have been handed him. He was then arrested, and under bonds of $500 held for the next session of the town court on November 9. The letters which he received at post office were confiscated by the kidnapers, Larson claims.

Police have verified the fact that Larson Was in New York when he he was, and know that he called says his wife from that city.
