NOTED PIANIST IS DEFT AUTOMOBILE BUILDER Joeef Hofmann, Here to Appear in Concert Today, Tells of Constructing His Own Motor-Cars to Climb to Els Switzerland Mountain Home. you only considered Josef Hofmann i a piano wizard or virtuoso, you would hav n very one-sided picture of him. Back of th Hofmann of the footlights, th Hofmann whom th matinee girls rave about whan he enmoshee them with th spell of Chopin. Beethoven or Tschal kowsky, la th Hofmann who builds au tomobiles, smokes cigarettes with the air of a man who enjoys them, rows a boat, sails a yacht, plays tennis, is an enthu stastlo devote of physical culture, likes n good story and then tells good ones of his own, and saves his money with an ay to good investments. Hofmann, who Is to play In concert at t o'clock this afternoon at the Helllg Theater, reached this city yesterday from Yanoouver. B. and Victoria. & C. where he gave concerts. Asked how he waa getting along with his automoMllng. Mr. Hofmann lighted another cigarette, and said with regret ful sigh: "My two autos are over at our Summer home oa th top of a mountain. 1M0 feet high above Lak Geneva. Switzerland. Sorry I couldn't bring them wtth me. I built them myself. The larger one. 0 horsepower snd six cylinders. I built at Potsdam, and tha smaller one, 16-horse-power and four cylinders. I built at Aiken, 8. C A a to Top Invented. "I so these autos In speeding up th road to our mountain home, and run about IS mtlee an hour on a t per cent grade. I built a limousine top. which can be detached from the auto and raised by means of pulleys to the celling, whet It hangs out of th way. I mad this contrivance myself. No. I didn't patent it. What would be the useT I couldn't stay around to take care of It. The mo tive power for my autoa Is gasoline It is the beet for long distances, although electricity is clesner. But then. If on uses electricity, one must not run very far from tb cet.lral station, to attend to th re-charglnc. Now. In my other home" "For goodness sake, Mr. Hofmann. how many homes have youT" "Four." said th pianist, after count ing on his Ongers. "My wife bought our property at 'Aiken. 8. C. W hav IS seres ther and a bouse worth about HO.orO. My wife and my little daughter, Josefs, 4 years old. live ther now while I am en tour. Our horn above Lake Geneva cost about f'.0Ciu. and the houa la In chalet style. In this house we are near neighbors of Paderewskl. Sembrich and others. While looking for n new horn In Europe, I went to Italy, and at first thought of the possibility of living around Lak Como. but found th place too much hemmed In by high mountains and otherwise too crowded by previous arrivals. I hav another borne at Pots dam, Germany, but the wet climate does not suit Mrs. Hofmann. and w do not llv there very much. I hav an apart ment In Berlin. Germany, which w oc cupy when w visit there. Instead of going to a hotel. But of all our homes. Mrs. Hofmann prefer Aiken. 8. C. "Turning now to music: I arrived In this country on another trip last Octo ber, and so far hav given 64 concerts, the chief of which have been appear ances with the New York Philharmonic, th Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Walter Damro sen's orchestra. I rave four concerts this season In New York City, and will give a fifth there very soon. Next season I shall only play a series of about on dosen concerts with th Boston Symphony." Winter Is Work Period. "Do you work all th yearT" "Oh. no." said Hofmann, decidedly. "I giv concerts In Winter and rest In Sum mer. I don't mean resC exactly. In Bummer I make out new programmea for the ensuing season and plan new recitals. I also work at my own compositions for piano, and, so far, havs written about 9) of these." "It Is said that you are a man of even temper." said the Interviewer. "I have control over my quirk temper." corrected Mr. Hofmann. "All artists must hav nervous force. Imagination and, temper. Otherwise, we should be mere playing-machine. "About living piano composers. In Eu rope T Ther are only two great ones now, and these ar Russians Kachmani noff and Scrlablne. The reason that Ger many. France, Italy and Great Britain do not produce great piano composers any more 1 because th musical ground, so to speak, la worn out and Is poor. The new north 1 calling and producing." "You ar a Pole, Ilk Paderewskl. the two Da Resxkeat Sembrich and others. Why are Poles so gifted, mualcallyT" A shadow passed over Hofmann's face, and then his face became bright. "We are denied permission by the na tions that govern us, to find expression In liberty, cltlxenshlp and government." he replied. "But we have found our ex pression In music while other races hav busied themselves along' other lines. Music has given us relief. Otherwise we should have been shut In." Prettily and modestly said.

LIVELY SESSION PENDING COXSCSOERS TO ASK QUESTIONS AT DAIRY BANQUET. . Milk Dealers to Present Own Side and Will Make Effort to As suage Public Fears. It 1 currently reported that there will be some lively dlscussons at th "Dollar Dairy Banquet" to te given under the auspice of th promotion committee of th Portland Commercial Club on Thurs day, March 9. Th suggestion of llvell naaa come from the fact that there will be present representatives of the Con sumers' League to ask a few questions. There will be tn attendance members of the City Health Board, the State Board of Health and many other associations. The dinner will giv an opportunity for presenting the view of the consumer, the producer and tb manufacturer. O. F. Johnson, chairman of th promo tion committee, has issued the following statement to h various persons inter ested: The dairy Industry of Oregon is lan guishing. Th consumer are complain ing of quality and price. It la charged by each Interest that other interests are working at cross purposes: that co-operation 1 lacking. The purpose of the din ner will be to hav all opinions venti lated frankly, to the end that there may be more mutual understanding, with the possibility of establishing co-operation. Subject to the wishes of th meeting, a commlttea will be appointed to formulate plans for united effort to the end that standard of purity may be established and dairying flourish till It takes the place It 1 entitled to Oregon's leading Industry." The main purpose of tha banquet Is to see if some practical solution of the present unfortunate situation cannot be accomplished. It is believed by some of the milk dealers that this can be ac quired by less agitation on the part of those who find lucrative employment In stirring up the public mind on the ques tion of pure milk. Producers In the dairy industry assert that much of the present situation Is due to the scares which have been given consumers from the stories told of the Impurities found In milk sold on the open market. There Is no desire to dispute that pure milk Is desirable and that Impure milk Is a msnacs to the public health, but It Is felt that some method can be reached by which the public may secure it with out the needless agitation. In doing this It is believed that the dairy Inter ests of the state will be protected and Its growth resumed. Pendleton to irnrrr Sewer System. PENDLETON, Or, March 4. (Special.)
