Der. Senator Hansbrough and Repre-
sentative Marshall Of South Dakota

Mr.. Grigsby was under charges oc in
subordination, of absenting himself from
his office an entire winter. and of ac-
cepting a retainer of $4,000 for services
for the Pioneer Mining Company In
the opinion OF the Attorney General the
charges were sustained. Mr.. Knox, It is
said. demanded Grigsby's removal
This the President was reluctant to
comply with because of personal friend

of "Grigsby's Rough Riders" in the
Spanish war. and won the regard of
Colonel Roosevelt. 1t was largely as a
personal representative of the President
that he was sent to Alaska.
The question of a successor to Attor-
ney Grigsby. IL Is understood, has not
as yet been seriously considered. IL
may safely be stated that none of the
Senators Immediately concerned in the
Grfgsby case has presented a name or
made recommendation for a successor.

nounced until after the resignation of
Mr.. Grigsby takes place. Between now
and then the President VIII receive

WILL URGE NATIONAL
CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
Petition to Be Sent to Congress Pre-
scented at Meeting Held
Saturday

The question of establishing a na-
tional conservatory of music was again
brought TO public notice in a paper read
by Mrs. Berenice Thompson. and strong
ly indorsed by Miss Won Unschuld, the
young Austrian pianist. who has been
so successful in Washington, at meet
ing held last Saturday in the reading
room for the blind in the Library of
Congress.
Mrs. Thompson urged the establish
ment of the school and gave many rea-
sons why the musical status of America
is not up to that of foreign countries.
Musical talent in America was barred
from development, she declared, by the
conditions here. In order TO cultivate
talent musicians are compelled TO go
abroad. So much expense is incurred
that but few are able TO afford 1t.
If q conservatory. adequately equip
ped. could be established in this cOun-
try. Mrs Thompson believes American
talent would soon be cultivated to Euro
pean standard. She urged that steps
should be taken toward this end. and
that the institution should be free and
under the supervision of the Board OF
Education OF Washington. Mrs. Thomp-
son said that a bill had already been
drawn w ana would be presented to
Congress next session by a prominent
Senator
Miss Won UnsChuld followed Mrs.
Thompson and gave an interesting tall
on what the requirements of such ar
institution should be, and what a vasi
amount of good its establishment would
mean TO American music students.
A petition was presented and signed
by many Of those In attendance. IL vii
be submitted to prominent musicians OF
Washington and other cities. and its
promoters hope for the ultimate sue
cess of their plan in the interest OF
talented music pupils who cannot at
ford 10 go abroad TO study.
