John Powell Pianist-
Delighted Musicians
BY FERRELL BUCHANAN. BENTLEY.
: Jdhii Powell a pianist and composer of
individuality and fine abilities gave his
' first concert in Houston Thursday night
. " under the auspices of the Woman's
Choral club.
We have already heard a great deaf and
" will surely hear more of Mr. Powell as
we become familiar with his compositions
and hear more frequently' his beautiful
piaiiv ytajriiia
i As am Interpreter Mr. Powell is unspar
Ing of himself. He places himself en rap-
; part with the message wrilch he Is deliv
erlng and we feel that he Is a reliable
medium through which the master are
speaking to us again clearly and close at
hand.
Inatead of the Beethoven Sonata an-
nounced on the program he played the
"Etude Symphonic" by Schumann. Mr.
Powell Is thorouBhly imbued with The
spirit of Schumann's music and played the
Etude profoundly and sympathetically.
In the Chopin group we were treated
to the tone variation for which Mr. Powell
Is famous and to which study he ha
given so much attention. Sometimes the
v tones are so near silence then so fiery
and vibrant and to the climaxes Mr.
Powell rises with a titanic power.
As to the Interpretation Mr. Powell
tells the Story so clearly that we feel we
have listened to an orator as well as a
i musician.
For an encore Mr. Powell played the
A Flat Polonaise.'; He also played two of
his own compositions "Poeme Eiotlque"
with a solemn and interesting theme and
the "Pioneer Dance" which Is In a hu-
morous vein and was delightfully played
To tha ovation which followed his own
group Mr. Powell responded with the
"Banjo Picker."
We hope Mr. Powell will come back; he
will be very welcome.
The other artist waa Ellison Van Hdose
tenor who has won many triumphs in
opera and on the concert stage and wRo
Is now making Houston his home. Mr.
Van Hoose sang the aria "Your Tiny
Hand Is Frozen " from La Boheme in
manner ttiat delighted the audience.
Then by special request ho sang the "La
ment" from Pagliacct Intensely dramat-
ically most effectively. The audience
still insisted and he sang "At Evening."
by Ouilberte to the Choral club.
The Chora! club sang splendidly with
good ensemble and well balance tone un-
der tho capable baton of Hu T. Huff-
master. The . first number was the Largo .by
.Handel assisted by Miss Iva Carpenter on
the violin. She played the obbllgato beau-
tifully. Mrs Laura Stevens Boone at the
' piano and George Helnselman at the or-
gan added greatly to the solemnity and
dignity of tone.
Grieg's "TO the Spring" sung by re-
- quest was especially enjoyable because pf
Mrs. Boone's lovely accompaniment.
For an encore the club sang "Keep the
Horn Fires Burning."
The Women's Choral club has every
reasbn to proud of its closing concert.

The strongest section of the bill and
the one aimed to correct the greatost
difficulty government officials now en-
counter In deallna- with sDiea and aus
picious persons makes the possession of
any map plan specification or picture of
any government building -wharf dock or

There are several of these so-called spy

Rio Grande Cutting
Into U. S. Property
(Houston 'Pott Spfeitl.)
SAN ANTONIO Texas April 4. Erro-
ion of the Rio Grande into the land at
Fort Brown threaten to take a part of
the government property there and trans-
fer It to Mexico.
Persons who have visited Brownsville
and the fort there have been .truck by
the peculiar formation of the ground.
Through the gradual eating" of the river
into the soft earth a portion of the mili-
tary post is connected to the American
side only by a narrow neck of land. The
river now is further narrowing this strip
and unless steps are taken to keep the
river in its channel there Is a likelihood
that it will cut entirely through the nar-
row Isthmus and change lta course leav
ing a portion or Fort urown beyond
the peninsula in Mexico. -
xne portion tnat is in danger of being
severed from the united States is that
which was occupied by the Texas Na-
tional Guard at the time the Texas troops
were sent to the border aix years ago.

that there was no goneral shortage. Dur
ing tha past three months officials of

Senator Fletcher of Tlorida. chairman
bf the senate committee and Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board Thursday
made an arrangement to 'see President
Wilson Friday and lay the situation be
fore him. Senator Fletcher was directed
by the committee Wednesday to aee toj
In . view of Thursday's order of the
war industries board. It wan not be-
lieved that the president would take any
action. It was explained that it was to
meet just sucn a situation as tnis tnat
the president recently appointed Ber-
nard Baruch to head the board with full
powers to act.
LONG HAULS ..
CAUSED DELAY.
The fact that deliveries at the Hob;
isiana plant are Denma scneauie was ex
plained with the statement that first or
dent for plates (or that . yard given be
fore Mr.. Hurley . became .chairman of
the shipping board were let to eastern
mills which; In turn .hipped the plate.
to western plants for fabricating. This
Involved long cross hauls and transpor-
tation congestion added to the normal
delay. The board Is re-allocating these
orders with a view to obviating un
necessary hauling.
Delay also has resulted It wa. said
from the difficulty of some eastern
plants In obtaining coal and coke be
cause of the railroad congestion. Some
plants were represented as working at
only 66 to 70 per cent of their capacity.
The full capacity of the mills of the
oountry is placed at 41000.000 tons of
steel annually and It was contended that
with the noa-essentlal Industries -cut off
from the steel supply there would ' be
amDle steel to meet all war demands in
eluding those of the great shipbuilding
program. . - .

RICE MEN FAILED TO
; REACH AGREEMENT
No Decision on Form of Contract
With Food Administration.
Both Millerr and Growers Declare
They Are Willing to Operate
aa peiired by Federal
-y Organization.
(Heart Post SfclaL '
BEAUMONT. Texas April 4s-After a
conference hera between a committee
representing lies millers and the exec-
utive committee of the Southern Rfce
Growers association which lasted several
hours announcement was made Thurs-
day night by J. K. Broussard president
of the Rica Millers association that no
agreement had been reached and as It
looked then would not be reached rela-
tive to a form of contract with the fed-
eral food administration for the handling
of the 1911 rice crop.
"The contract submitted to us." said
Mr. Brouasard "was either drafted by
or suggested by the growers axsoclatlon
and It Is out of the question for us lo
accept It although we are ready and
willing to operate this season under a
contract with the food administration
and have so advised the administration
by wire Thursday night but we feel -we
are entitled to a fair and reasonable re-
turn on our Investment."
E. A. Kignuf general manager of the
Southern ' Rice Growers association had
very little to aay about the conference.
The executive committee of his associa-
tion met le transact - routine business
and only decided to consider the pro-
posed government contract upon the re-
quest of the millers. -
"We made It plain that we were will-
ing to accept the form of contract as
submitted to us' by the food administra-
tion" said Mr. Elgnus. "but the millers
rejected It They submitted a counter
proposition to us which we did not even
consider. We wUI consider no proposi-
tion unless submitted to us by the gov-
ernment through the food administra-
tion." The chief objectionable feature of the
tentative contract as far as the millers
were concerned Mr.' Brouasard said was
the provision which made the growers
the sole arbitrators In settltBK all dis-
putes which may arise relative to the
grade or quality of rice. "We can not
submit to such an agreement" he con-
cluded emphatically and so the matter
stsnds.
Every member of the executive eom-
mlttee of the growers association was
present at the conference as altio were
five prominent millers of. Texas and
Louisiana.
