WASHINGTON. Nov. Sin his annua
report Admiral Bradford, chief Of the Blu
reau Of Equipment and Repair Of the Navy
department, takes occasion to renew his
protest against the substitution OF g naval
constructor for a line ofhcer at ship
building works.
A naval constructor, he says. is q non
seagoing oheer. Inquiries as TO the Gus.
tom Of the merchant marine in this matter
show that the construction Of merchant
ships Is generally supervised BY the most

gineer in the employ Of the owners. II Is
an anomaly 70 build a ship and prepare Il

man.

For many year the necessity had made
itself felt that the North American Saen-
gerbund organization be made stronger and
permanent. II had been a rather loose or
ganization that dissolved after each festi-
val and that had TO be brought together
again through agitation on the part Of each
new festal city. In Cleveland, therefore,
a committee was appointed for the purpose
Of preparing a new constitution. The re-
port OF this committee was adopted In
Pittsburg, and thereby was created, be-
sides the committee of the festal city. q
governing board of the association, whose
members, in the majority, resided in those
cities at which the last festival OF the
union had been held, SO that the admins
tration had at their command the expert
ence Of the past and the personal connec-
tions with the societies in the different
parts Of the country.
In June. 1899. the North American Saen-
gerfest celebrated at its place OF birth,
Cincinnati, its golden jubilee, at which l2O
societies and 1857 singers appeared and
were offered cordial congratulations from
all large associations OF singers Of this
country and likewise from the General
German Saengerbund" in Germany. The
perfect rendering Of the mass choruses
formed the crown Of the jubilee festival
OF the union and q worthy conclusion OF
the first half century OF its existence.
In Cincinnati also the perfection OF the
permanent union made much progress. The
constitution as adopted in Pittsburg did
not stand the test in many ways, because
several reforms, for a long time acknowl-
1 edged to be necessary, were disregarded
! and many laws only admissible for q loose
organization were in force in this perma-
nent association. Taking in consideration
these circumstances the president Of the
association, J. Hanno Deiler, submitted at
Cincinnati a draft OF a new constitution,
which was accepted without any material
changes by the session Of the delegates of
the union.

CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW STORY STARTED
Return Marks the End of q Divorce
Episode which only Lacked
One Day of Reaching a
Contamination.

William D. Conyers Of this city, who was
recsntiy reported to have died as the result
Of injuries received IN a threshing machine
accident In Bigelow. MINI, is very much
alive. He reached Council Bluffs on a late
train Saturday night and shortly after mid
night called at police headquarters seeking
Assistance to locate his wife and family.
on reaching town Conyers at once went to
1906 Avenue B, where his family lived when
he left the city last July, only to find that
his wife had moved and the ~neighbors were
unable to tell her present location.
Last Friday Mrs. Conyers was granted Il
default in her suit for divorce and would
in the course Of things have been granted
a decree today. Conyers, however, denies
the allegations that he has been unfaitbful
and says he will fight the case. This, he
says, was his main purpose in returning
to Council Bluffs. II is said hat Mrs. Con-
yers placed no credence in the report that
her husband was dead and for that reason
went ahead with her suit for divorce.
Conyers denies all knowledge Of the let
ter received here containing the account OF
his death and says he is at a loss to know
who could have written It. About three
weeks ago be was injured in a thrsshing
machine accident at Bigelow. but although
ne naQ 20 quit NOrk TOT q rev Gays, us In
juries were not serious. The FIRST that
Conyers knew about word being sent here
OF his death was from The telegraph OPP
orator at Bigelov, who told him that a mes
sage had been received there asking about
him, as there was a report in Council Bluffs
that he had been killed.
That his wife had begun divorce proceed
lngs against him was no news to Conyers
and he admitted that be had received notice
Of the suit. The allegations Of his wife. be
insists. are unfounded but admits that fol
some time he has been at home but little
as before going TO Minnesota he was in the
Black Hills country. He says that until hs
received notice OF the divorce proceedings
he had continually sent his wife money fol
her and the children's support.
Conyers said the first thing he would dc
Monday would be to secure the services o.
an attorney TO defend the divorce case, al
he Intended to fight it to the end.
Conyers succeeded in effecting a recon.
c~iliation with his wife yesterday and it IL
understood that the divorce proceedings
will be dropped.

sketch of Organization.

The following brief historical sketch OF
the origin and growth OF the German male
chorus and Of the North American saen-
gerbund may be Of interest to readers:
The secular male chorus rendering songs
in four parts was introduced in Germany
by the organist OF the cathedral at salz-
burg. Michael Haydn, who published in the
year 17ss the first German MALE QuArteuA
without Accompaniment"
The example OF Haydn was followed by
Naegeli Cborn 17T3) in Switzerland, L V.
Call Sborn l77s) in Vienna, and Carl Fried
rich Zelter Cborn 1881 in Berlin. n lat
ter, with the advice Of the poet. Goethe,
founded December Is, lSOs. at Berlin. the
hrst German singing club for male voices.
which consisted exclusively Of poets, COM
posers and singers, and was called "Lieder-
tafel." modelled after King Arthur's
knights Of the Round Table"
Soon afterward the war OF liberation
began, during which the OLD bards, heroes
and singers alike" rose again from the
ranks Of the people; Koerner, Sehenken-
dorf and Arndt wrote their patriotic and
war songs; Carl Maria Won Weber, Reich
ardt. SIlcher. KruetEer and others com-
posed for the male chorus their songs in
four parts and gave 10 the German people
a new treasury Of excellent vocal music,
increasing thereby considerably the num-
Der Of popular songs Inherited from former
centuries. These songs, repeated innu-
mersble times, brought consolation and
comfort during the many days Of annie
tion, kept alive in the minds Of the people
the greatness Of their fatherland, reminded
the German tribes that they were Of the
same stock and created. fully fifty years
before the regeneration Of the German en-
pire. a Germany Of Hearts"
