GIVE VOCAL RECITAL
Singers Compelled to Respond
to Repeated Encores

The vocal recital given by the pupils
OF DR.. H ]. Stewart in California club
auditorium last evening was one of
the most successful recitals ever held
under Dr. Stewards direction. The
program consisted of 16 numbers, TWO
of which were quartet selections. The
polacca from Mignon, rendered by
Mrs. Carrie Brown Dexter, brought
forth an unusual outburst of applause
and she was compelled to render a Sec
ond opeFatic selection.
Miss Jessie Alexander sang Who'll
Buy Ny Lavender" with mucb feeling
and was encored several timex. Miss
Constance Alexander, her sister, rem
dered two songs of the sea. She has an
excellent contralto voice, as has her
sister an unusual soprano voice for
such a young woman.
Miss Louise Smith rendered the
"Qui del Contrabbandier' from Carmen
and a Spanish selection. The singing
OF "Elsa's Dream" from Lohengrin, by
Miss Cecilia Gilchrist was excellent.
Miss Gilchrist has a very attractive
voice. The others who took part in
the program were:
Miss Hazel Vinton, Miss Gladys Wor-
den Miss Hortense Gilmore, Mrs. Fred
c. Allen, Mrs. A. J. Harrington, Miss
Ethel Foskett, Miss Magrise Reichling
Miss Julia Neppert, Miss Irene Meuss

HENzE IN CONTROL
OF UNITED COPPER
New Board of Directors Elected
at Meeting of Stock Holders
in New York

NEW YORK. June 2.-The af-
fairs of F. Augustus Heinze and
the United copper company. which
have kept the federal authorities busy
because of the disappearance of the
company's books. which are needed by
the grand jury to clear up loans al
legged to have been made by Heinze
while he was head Of the Mercantile
bank during the panic OF 1907, We're
clarified somewhat today, and yet seem
ingly complicated.
George Baglin second vice presi-
dent of the United copper company
and secretary to Heinze, who was
placed in the Tombs yesterday for
contempt OF court. was released today.
1t is understood this action followed
his removal from the board of direc-
tors.
While no announcement to this eject
was made, a meeting of the stock
holders was held and this resulted in
the election of a board In which Bag
Inns name does not appear. Heinze
was reelected a director as was Stan
ley Clifford of New York, and the fol-
lowing new names appear: David
Michaeljohn. Butte Mont; Richard Kill
roy. Butte. Mont: A. A. Dunham. Salt
Lake City; NJ. NJ. Joyce. New York !;
George Lane, Montreal; William T.
Byrnes, Montreal, and Adrian Wyckoff
Newark, n. ].
f. Augustus Heinze was not present
at the meeting. but his representative,
holding proxy for 100000 shares. was
on hand and it is presumed that the
board is under Heinze's control.
While the stock holders were meet
ing. the disappearance of the books
was being further aired before Judge
Lacombe, who agreed to give Stanford
Robinson, who, as a director, faces
prison for alleged contempt, until Fri
day to account for the books
Arthur p. Heinze, who was present
when the books were taken. away, and
who also took the same stand of privi-
lege as Robinson, may be considered
further.
