D'ARNALLE AT RED SPRINGS SEMI
NARY

Especial to the News and Observer
Red Springs, N. c., Oct PA large
audience from Red Springs and a number
of other towns was gathered in he spa
cious auditorium of the Red Springs Semi
mary upon the occasion of a song recital
by Vernon D'Arnalle, the distinguished
young baritone of Chicago. He made the
trip from Chicago for the one recital.
more delightful evening has rarely been
spent in the institution. 1t was rare
privilege to listen to such a singer, and
one which will not soon be forgotten by
the music lovers who heard him. Mr.
D'Arnalle is a young man of charming
personality and appearance and of va
ricd gifts. He is a broad musician, be-
ing a fine pianist and organist as wen
as singer His tone is not only very big,
but of the richest quality, possessing. ike
few. low, heavy voices, the quality which
produces beautiful effect in a salon as
well as a large hall. He gave splen-
did balanced program and the transition
from the heavy, broad style to the rich
smooth, flowing German Lieder-the light
view of coquetry to the passion OF the
beautiful French love song by CAM
then the close with the brilliant and
popular sword of Ferrara, was done with
the consummate skill of the artist AS
a proof of his great breadth and charac-
teristic dignity of style perhaps the
deepest impression was made upon his
hearers by the MAJESTIC "Omnipotence'
by Schubert--one of the most powerful
songs from the pen of the great German
composer Mr.. D'Arnalle was very gem
erous in his responses to repeated en-
cores He could scarcely have had
more appreciative audience and he held
their utmost attention throughout the
program There is undoubtedly a brill
liant future for this splendid young North
Carolinian and the friends of his South
land home feel great pride in his art
career and are ever ready to tender to
him a warm welcome. After the recital
a reception was held by Mrs. Vardell and
Miss Anderson, and the musical faculty
had the pleasure of spending an evening
with him. To his other great gifts is
added that of the charming conversation
alist. Next morning he responded to an
urgent call to repeat his Schubert, "Om-
impotence" at the morning auditorium
service. 1t is to be hoped that North
Carolina may often have the privilege of
hearing her most distinguished young son
artist.

OVER A DIVISION FENCE.
Controversy Upon Which Appeal Was
Made to Commissioners.

Made to Com mmissfOners.
A discussion between neighbors has arisen
over the parking fence between premises
1914 and 1916 11th street northwest. The
matter was brought to the attention of the
Commissioners on complaint of E. w. Key
ser of 210S o street northwest who stated
that the fence was not only off the dividing
line between the two lots but was in di-
lapidated condition.
The matter was made the subject of in
vestigation and report by A. L. Thomas,
and the facts were brought out to show
that several years ago the fence had been
built. the result of an agreement be-
tween the two property holders. seven
inches from the line. Under the old condi-
tiOns, it appears, the fence did not inter-
fere with the premises 1914. Now, how
ever, a new house has been built, and the
fence interferes with the erection of the
fence fronting that house.
Col John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, after receiving the above report
laid the case before his associates with a
motion that the owner of premises 1916 be
required to remove the fence to the division

HOW THE COURT STOOD.
The Manner I'm Which the Precept
Was Answered.

Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Ben
ham and Ramsay agree on these points:
That Admiral Schley did not obey the
departments orders of May % to go with
all haste to Santiago. find If the Spanish
fleet was there, and not leave without a.
decisive action.
He did not endeavor to capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet at the mouth of the har-
Dor on May % and %.
He did not use his utmost endeavor to
destroy the Colon while anchored at the
mouth of the harbor on May 3d.
The effect of the loop Of the BROOKLYN
was to lose distance and position with
the Vizcaya and Colon.
The loop was made to avoid dangerous
proximity with the Spanish fleet. and it
caused the Texas TO stop and back en-
gines.
He did injustice to Lieutenant Com
mander Hodgson in publishing only a part
of his correspondence.
His conduct prior to June / was charac-
terized by vacillation. dilatoriness and lack
of enterprise.
His coal reports were inaccurate and mis-
leading.
His conduct during the battle of July 3
was self-possessed, and he encouraged the
officers and men to fight courageously.
Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay to-
gether disagree with Admiral Dewey on
certain points, holding:
That Rear Admiral Schley did not pro-
ceed to Cienfuegos from Key West with all
dispatch and maintain as close blockade
as possible
He did not endcavor to obtain informa-
tion as to the supposed presence of the
Spanish fleet at Cienfuegos.
He did not proceed to Santiago with all
possible dispatch, and did not dispose of
his ships while going so as to intercept
the enemy coming west.
He should not have delayed the squadron
for the Eagle.
Admiral Dewey, distinctly from the other
members OF the court. holds that:
Rear Admiral Schley is entitled to all the
credit OF the battle Of July g. as he was the
senior officer in command.
