MOVE FOR HARMONY.
Plan to Determine Merits of Red Cross
Controversy.

1t is probable that harmony will soon
exist between the warning factions of the
Red Cross Society. The committee ap-
pointed to determine the merits of the COM
plants made by the suspended members
has determined upon plan of procedure,
which is practically as follows:
Miss Barton and the other officers of
the Red Cross Society will be known to
the committee as the respondents The
suspended members will be known the
Claimants The claimants will be given
until next Wednesday to file their
charges against Miss Barton and the Of
week in which to prepare and file their an
swer to the charges. The compliments
will then have three days in which to file
a supplemental brief and the respondents
three days for filing final answer.
The committee will examine all the pa
pers submitted, and then summon wit
nesses who will be questioned on all points
of difference between the factions
The trouble arose early last summer
when William J. Fathers, treasurer of
the Red Cross, refused to pay certain
vouchers which, it is alleged, provided for
benefits for some older members of the or
ganizaton Mr.. Fathers believed this pol
ley to be unbusinesslike. and when pay
organization, he resigned his position. His
action was supported by many prominent
members, all of whom were suspended. I'm
der the present plan, the committee on in
vestigation, consisting of Senator Proctor,
Representative William Alden Smith and
Gen. F. G. Aainsworth, believe harmony
can again be established.

sEcoND-cLAss MAIL CASES.
Arguments of Counsel for Publishers
and Government.

The United States Supreme Court was en-
gagged Friday and Saturday in hearing the
arguments of counsel On behalf Of the pub
fishers and of the government In what are
known as the contested second-class mail
cases.
The cases brought to the attention of the
court are those of Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,
the Bates & Guild Company of Boston and
Street & Smith of New York, and are the
leading cases upon which the second-class
postal reform practically depends.
The government was represented by Mr..
John G. Johnson of Philadelphia and Mr..
Henry H. Classic of this city, the former
making the argument of Friday and the
latter the argument of Saturday.
The publishers were represented by Maj.
Holmes Conrad of this city, Mr.. William s.
Hall of Boston, Mr.. Charles F. Moody OF
New York and Mr.. Tracy L. Jeffords of this
city.
The interest of the Post Office Department
in the outcome of these cases being very
great, a special appropl iation some time ago
was made for their Defense and the cases
have been agitated In the courts now for
several years. These particular cases were
decided in favor of the government by the
Court of Appeals and they came to the Su-
preme Court on an appeal by the publishers.

Choral Society Concert.

The second concert of the Choral Society
this season took place at Chases Theater
last night. 1t was in the nature of a dou-
BILE bill, so to speak, as the program in
cluded Horatio Parker's 'Hora Novissima"
and Rossini's "Stabat Mater" The audi
ence was large and quite enthusiastic The
society had the assistance of the Wash
ington' Symphony Orchestra, which per-
formed the accomplishments In mastery
manner. The first work was directed by
the composer and the choruses were SPLEEN
didly sung, particularly the "City of High
Renown," which was given without accom-
paniment, and In the rendition of which the
voices and training of the society were
were heard to good advantage. The work
was presented by the society last year at
the Congregational Church, also under the
direction of the composer but this time it
had the sustaining power of a good orches-
ira and the effect was much better. 1t is
work that grows on one, and it should be-
come a favorite in the Society'S repertoire.
Rossini's "Stabat Mater is so well known
that 1t is strange that the Choral Society
has not given 1t before. 1t is melodious in
every strain, and it's devotional sentiment
negatives the sometime charge that it is too
operate. In the choruses in this oratorio
the society did excellent work except in
one instance, where they unfortunately
took the wrong key from Mr.. Bispham.
The quartet of soloists was in every way
worthy of the occasion. They were Mrs.
Lillian Blauvelt, soprano; Miss May Wal
tiers, contralto; Mr.. Edward P. Johnson,
tenor, and David Bispham, bass. Mrs.
Blauvelt has been frequently heard here,
and 1t only needs be said that she fully
sustained her well-erned reputation. Miss
Walters and Mr. Johnson were newcomers,
but they gained favor at once, and will be
welcomed here again. Mr.. Bispham, except
in one instance was all that could be de-
sired, but In the recitative in the Ella Ma
ter he was so off the key that it ratified
the chorus, and Prof. Kaspar stopped them
and began over again. 1t was unfortunate,
but it was not the fault of the chorus. The
orchestra played in good form, with Her
man Rakeman as concert meister.
