CASE Of BALUNGER
FOUND UNTRUE AND SHOULD
QUIT OFFICE.
-FOUR DEMOCRATS GIVE REPORT
Republican Members Refuse 70 Take
Part In the Proceedings and Deny
Their Regularity.

Minneapolis. Minn.-"That Richard
A. BalHnger has not been true to the
trust reposed in him as secretary Of
the interior. that he is not deserving
OF public confidence and that he
should be asked by the proper author
tiles to resign his ONCE"
The foregoing sums up the find
ings Of the four democratic members
Of the Ballinger- Pfnchot COMPRESSION.
al investigating committee which was
made public Friday.
The republican members issued no
report.
Three republican members, Senator
Sutherland of Utah and Representa-
tives Mccall of Massachusetts, and
DENLY of Michigan refused to attend
the meeting. Finally the chairman
Of the committee himself. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota. left the commit
tee room and failed to return.
Chairman Nelson gave notice that
a meeting would be held in Chicago
on next Tuesday. The democratic
members adjourned to meet again in
Washington on December :.
Representative Ollie NJ. James of
Kentucky. one of the democratic
members. announced that all the de-
mocrats would refuse to attend the
meeting of which Senator Nelson has
given notice. The republicans will
then be in the same position that the
democratic members and Mr.. Madi.
son found themselves.
Summarized. the democratic find.
ings declare that the evidence shows:
THAT there was no conspiracy
against Mr.. Ballinger.
THAT Clifford PinchOt and l.. X.
CLAWS were faithful trustees of the
peoples interests.
That Mr. BaIlineer's conduct on
certain occasions was intended to and
did have the effect of deceivins the
president
THAT Mr.. Ballinser's action in hav-
ing 'clearlistei' i've so-called Cunn:ng-
ham Alaskan coal lands and ordering
them patented showed bad faith.
That he advocated a bill to vail |
date Alaskan coal claims alleged to |
be fraudulent.
That his action in acting as attor-
ney in cases pending in the land
Office while he was commissioner
was reprehensible.
THAT he helped to force the Cum
bingham coal claims to a hearing be-
fore the government was ready to
proceed.
THAT he encouraged insubordina-
ton in the reclamation service and
condoned improper official conduct in
that connection"
Numerous official acts of Mr.. BAL
finger are attacked. High praise is
given Clifford Pinchot. former chief
forester. and l.. r. CLAWS. former
thief of field division of the general
and Office
Mr.. Madison's conclusions are:
That the charges of Messrs. CLAWS
md Pinchot should be sustained.
THAT he has been ulfaithful to the
public interests
That in the matter of the Cum
coal lands he was not a
aithful trustee of the peoples in
ereSts.
THAT with regard to the reciama-
ion service he has taken action tend
ne towards its disintegration."

MEET JANUARY 1928
Knabenshue Says No Contract Is
Made TO Bring Wright
AviatorS Here

That an aviation meet has been ar
ranged and will be held in Los Angeles
January II to % is denied by Roy
Knabenshue, general manager OF the
exhibition department of the Wright
company. Mr.. Knabenshue, speaking
for the Wright brothers, stated last
evening that no contract had been en-
tered into by his company to bring
aviators here on the date mentioned
or on any other date, for that matter
and that, as far as he knew, no ava
ton meet had been settled upon.
Dick Ferris, who managed the ava
ton meet last year, said:
LAS for the story that an aviation
meet will be held here January II to 23
there is nothing in it.
81 can state positively that there VIII
be a meet here during the coming win
ter. 1t will not be of the magnitude
that has been stated-it will not be the
greatest ever held in the country-but
there will be a meet and one that VIII
be a. credit to Southern California.
IT believe that all those connected
with the meet last year and all those
who have been taking the preliminary
steps toward securing one this season
will bear me out in the statement that
no such meet as spoken of in the news
papers recently will be held in South
ern California during the present year.

Music Notes

Russian music was offered patrons
of the symphony orchestra yesterday
and the opening Of the fourteenth sea-
son of orchestral concerts at the Au-
ditorium was an auspicious affair, with
an audience of generous size and ap-
preciative disposition.
Some changes have been made in
the personnel of the players this year
and the strings are strengthened some
what, with other choirs also appar-
emily in better form. The demands
of the Tschaikowsky symphony proved
re- ther severe for the brasses, but aside
from this one number, which was es-
pecially taxing, the balances were
nicely preserved
This symphony, the fourth, has been
played before by the orchestra. 1t is
n fatalistic conception written with all
the philosophers keen analysis Of
emotions and with the poets enjoy
ment alike of those moments of rap
ture and pangS of disappointment
which bring either bliss or anguish.
Every movement was well received
and the pizzacatto of the strings, While
the finale, with strings and WOOD
winds in unison, was brilliant and I'M
petuous.
cluded representative selections from
the young Russian school. A tone
painting, 'In the Steppes of Central
ASIA" by Alexander Borodin, an IN
termezzo by Anthony Arensky and
Servian fantasia by Rimsky-KorsakoV
were all typical of various phases OF
this school of composition. The Bal
let Music from Feramors, by Anton
Rubenstein, closed the program.
The next symphony concert Will be
on December 8 and the Beethoven
fourth symphony in B fiat will be
given. Emilio de Gogorza will be the
soloist for that occasion.

FINE PROGRAM FOR Benefit
Favorite Old Melodies to Be Sung
by the One Man Who
Will Take Part
ZINE PROGRAM FOR BENEFIT

The one man to contribute a vocal
solo to the Vidal benefit concert next
Tuesday night is William Delamore,
| tenor. In discussing the selection of
songs Mr.. Delamore said:
"rhe songs l have chosen-'Because
and Silver Threads Among the Cold
are rather old. OF course, could
have given new ones, and there are
numberless selections which portray
more technlc and which would be more
appropriate for a highly classical pro-
gram, but of all the songs l know
there is no type so universally loved
as this. Musically educated or not,
all people understand and respond to
simple melody, and pathos touches all
hearts.
e. M. Bonnell, the originator Of the
benefit, assisted by e. o. Wartin, will
give a group of southern melodies. This
attractive number Mr.. Bonnell has
worked up to perfection. AS a sing
er of "coon songs" he has no equal.
Mr.. Bonnell, after reading in The Her
aid of the plight Of Mrs. Vidal, sug-
gested the benefit and not only volun-
teered his own services but secured
several of the best numbers on the
program.
The concert will be given in Blan-
chards hall, second story, Broadway
front of the Blanchard building, Tues
day evening, November ", at O'CLOCK
sharp. Tickets are for sale at The Her
aid office, Boswell and Noyes drug
store, John Knight company, Hellman
