BISPHAM CHARMS
BUMPER AUDIENCE

Since David Bispham has taken
unto himself the post Of champion OF
English song and the vocal music OF
ether nations sung in English text, he
mas added to his former well-estah-
!ished, large following, as evidenced
Sunday afternoon, when the Garrtck
theater held the largest audience Of
the Sunday concert series. thuss Tar.
Bispham has always been favorite
with Detroit music lovers. Vocal
teachers and students have long since
found out that an afternoon or even
ing at a Bispham recital. means the
acquisition of much knowledge OF vo-
cal art, therefore, they flock to a
Bispham concert.
Like the wisest OF the best artists
IN the singing world, as the years roll
on and nature deals unkindly with the
singing voice Mr.. Bispham Ia turning
more and more to his dramatic abil-
lty and to the art Of defamation. He
chooses compositions that require
such talent, and in the interpretative
art of the actor makes interesting that
which might become mediocre when
:onal force Is lacking. Mr.. Bispham's
baritone Is not what it used 10 be and
he cannot longer depend upon It's
tones alone to appeal to concert
audience. Not that Bispham ever
rested wholly upon his voice, for ne
has been remarkable always for his
Individuality and unusual gifts as an
artist and student.
Like his sometime fellow concert
artist. George Hamlin, whom Detroit
ers heard with pleasure few weeks
ago, Mr.. Bispham searches the neid
of musical literature for things that
are different. His programs are made
I'D Of repI sentative composers but he
mana ges, also, to present the unhack-
neyed. or recent seasons he has
made a part OF all OF his recital pro-
grams, a reading % a poem or prose

Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Bisphan
memory went back on him several
times. and he missed his lines, but on
the whole, he gave the poem with his
usual dramatic force. An interesting
number on the program was The III

by President Taft in September last.

Asked if there was anything un-
usual in the interference of the forest
service, Mr.. Pinchot read a letter
signed by President Roosevelt On
May II, 1905, directing the Secretary
Of the Interior to cooperate with
the forestry service as to lands in
forest reserves, and to adopt the SER
vices findings as far as possible.

expressed renewed confidence il Pin
chot, but urged him not TO rake

to CLAWS as disingenuous and as a
man who had let one idea run away
with his judgment. The President eX'

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The ex-
pected clash between Clifford Pinchot
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
over the disputed question as to whe-
Their the secretary had given the for
mer forester permission to write to
Senator Dolliver the letter which re-
suited in Pinchots dismissal came
today before the allinger-Pinchot
investigating committee.
Pinchot declared he had discussed
the matter at length with Secretary
Wilson, and that he understood his
superior officer had given him eX-
press permission to write to Senator
Deliver
Secretary Wilson Immediately took
the stand and asserted that while he
had given Pinchot permission to write
to Senator Dolliver concerning de
partmental affairs" he never dia and
never would have given him p.rmis-
sion to write a letter criticising the
President of the United States
Pinchot declared that he and Secre-
tary Wilson went so far as to discuss
the executive order issued by Presi-
dent Taft forbidding subordinates of
the various departments to give in
formation to Congress, and added
that the secretary said:
You and | will have no trouble
about that order"
Admitting that his memory failed
him as to certain points, Secretary
Wilson always came back to the
statement that he never, under any
circumstances, would have given
Pinchot permission to write the letter
that caused his retirement from the
service
PINCHOT SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Pinchot denied that he had been
embittered by a dismissal which he
considered unjustified. He denied
also that there was a specific move.
ment to discredit Ballinger. He add
ed however, that he and former Sec
rotary Garfield, CLAWS and others are
concerned in a movement for the con
servation of natural resources, anC
that they regard Ballinger as one o
the greatest enemies of that move
ment
There was much surprise whel
Pinchot announced to the committee
that he based his charge that Secre
tary Ballinger had been guilty o
making statements to the Presiden
that were absolutely false in thre
essential particulars, not upon a let
ter from Ballinger himself, but upol
letter written by j. T. Ronald,
former law partner Of Ballinger, t
DR.. Lyman Abbott Pinchot said
copy of this letter, with annotations
was forwarded by Ballinger to tn
President.
He admitted that the three state
ments in the Ronald letter, which h
claimed to be false, had previousl
been covered by a letter written b
Ballinger himself to the President, i
which Ballinger had stated what tn
witness admitted was true state
ment of the facts Pinchot said h
did not attempt to reconcile these tw
facts.
Before this development the inter
est of the morning session had ceI
tered in the announcement by Pincho
that he would not press for a decisio
as to whether or not he should be al
lowed to give his version of the cor
Yersations with President Taft o.
