Miss Edgell Adams who Is to be the piano soloist on the first night of the Music Festival, Is recent and very valuable acquisition to Birmingham s musical circles. As 1t will be the first time she has played In public in Bir- mingham her apearance is awaited with no little interest among those who have heard of the many musical achieve ilents of this talented artist. Person ally. she Is young, good looking. and with an ease of manner and charm of personality that at once attracts and holds the interest of those who have met her. Professionally. she has been remarkably successful, yet wears her laurels most modestly
 She studied for three years at the Pea body conservatory In Baltimore with Ernest Hutcheson who will be remem- bored as having been heard with de- light at one of Mrs. Aldrich's Sunday concerts.

1909 Miss Adams went to Vienna, where she studied for nearly three years with Leopold Godowsky. and was also G pupil at the famous Meiterschule, of which Godowsky Is the head. She gave two concerts, one In Berlin. and the other in Vienna, and the press notices hat she received were of an unusual ly complimentary nature.
 Miss Adams will play on Friday night Saint Saens' concerto in F, and 1t Is very interesting to note that this work has been played in America only twice once by Raoul Pugno, with the Theodore Thomas orchestra in New York and once by Busoni, with the Bos- ton Symphony orchestra, in Boston. The concerto is written in three movements The middle movement Is very Oriental In style, and Is thought to have been written at time in the life of Saint Saens when he was greatly influenced by travel in Algiers and Egypt.
 Miss Adams has opened a studio in
 he Star Piano building, and also has classes at the Allen school. The /peo- pie of Birmingham feel that they are most fortunate in the acquisition of this talented young artist.

JEFFR|ES TRIAL
BEGUN MONDAY

Claremore., Okla, Nov, ll.--H. o.
Jeiferies, editor of the Nowata Adver-
tiser, and prospective postmaster Of
that place, was placed on trial in the
district court here today for the muir
der of Mrs. Irene Goheen, his adver-
tising solicitor. The Jeffries case
has attracted considerable attention,
the accused claiming that he was the
victim of a conspiracy, while the state
|or at least County Attorney Thraves
Iof Nowata, says that he has sufficient
evidence to warrant conviction. The
case is being tried before Judge Hud-
son of Pawhuska, Judge Brown declin-
ing to preside after the state had lost
lout in an attempt TO disqualify him in
the supreme court,
While Jefferies is held on O. first de-
gree murder charge, the general inn
Ipression among disenterested persons
who have watched the proceedings
from the very start, is that unless the
prosecution has some new and con.
vincing evidence 10 present a convict
ion will be impossible and the case will
never go to the jury. There is consld-
cradle politics and bad feeling in the
case and this will be brought out at
the TRIAL.
Mrs. Goheen, who, Tor a short tlme,
had been employed as an advertising
solicitor by Jefferies, disappeared on
THE might of April s, last, and ON two
Edays later her body was found IN the
Staats pasture mile from Newata.
THE woman had eridently been struck
lin the head with stone and the sur
IlrDundings Indicated chat the Eilling
followed a struggle.
County Attorney Thraves, bitter
lpolitical enemy of .5efferies, and who
lstt that time was "a candidate for the
congressional nomination, had a war

Echoes Of the RuIaIn Meeting.

The ministers of the city wish to ex-
press their appreciation for the splen-
did manner of response on the part of
the people of Vinita during the union
services just closed To the men and
women who sang in the choir; to those
who gave money for the expenses of
the meeting and for gift to DR. Bull
gin; to the editor of the Chieftain for
advertising and such liberal space for
reporting the sermons of Dr. Bulgin;
TO Miss Isobel Mccormick for the
splendid reports given of the meet
ings; to the Chieftain people of all
churches for the way they gave them
selves to winning souls for Christ.
There may be others who should have
special mention for service rendered
during the meetings, for example the
musicians who played for the services
which was a great help to the music.
1t is to be hoped that this union efs
fort will be the beginning of more
faithful work by the followers of
Christ in Vinita. The church should
not exist for itself but to save men
who are lost. There is much for every
Christian man woman and child in vi
nita to do. Actively Is the Only way
to bring men into the kingdom Of God
and the only way for growth in the
Christian life, 'Disuse is abuse.
1t will be difficult TO estimate the
value of the meetings conducted by

to retard progress, but it will be op-
posed by the rank and file of the party

very fact that the new party is now

Great Chance For Party.
Under the leadership of a man like
Governor Wilson, who has demonstrate
ed not only capacity, but courage and
conscience also. there is every reason
TO believe that the democratic party
will so discharge its duty TO the public
as to lay the foundation for parma
nent ascendency In the nation. Gov
ernor Wilson has shown tba he appre-

Democrats Must Progress.

1t is too early even to compare with
accuracy the real strength of the par
ties. We do not know yet whether the
democratic party has made material
gain in the number of its voters or
whether its success is due entirely to
the division in the republican party.
If the complete returns show a large
gain in the democratic vote it will
furnish encouragement to believe that
the party has made permanent ad-
vance. If. however, the victory must
be credited wholly to division in the
republican party the democratic party
will have even more reason to be on
its good behavior, for a failure to rise
to the requirements of the occasion
will not only disappoint the democrats
but will reunite the republicans.
Governor Wilson showed remark
able wisdom and discretion in dealing
with the problems which arose in the
campaign; he has more than fulfilled
the expectations of those who favored
his nomination. His progressiyeness
has been more and more emphasized
as he has taken up the questions with
which he has had to deal, and he will
enter the Office with the confidence
not only of his own party but of the
opposition as well.
Democrats Face a Split.
