PERFORMANCE !. OF "ELUAH" IS SIGNAL SUCCESS
Crowded House Listens With Approbation to First Effort of the OratOriO Society

The first public performance of the Oratorio Society was a distinct suc- cess The Park Theatre was filled to it's capacity. The rendition of Eli jah" was all that could have been expected. The chorus, consisting of 3oO members, was regarded as excep- tionally we'll balanced, and had been splendidly drilled. The stage was extended by a temporary structure which afforded room for the orchestra of 40 pieces, with dais for the con- ductor.
 The work was directed by R. Hunt ington Woodman, who has had the training of the chorus. The soloists contributed more than their share to the artistic quality of the affair. Miss Mary Hissem De Moss was the recip- tent of much appreciation. She is the possessor of a beautiful soprano voice, flexible. disciplined, and strongly charged with sympathy. Mrs. De Moss is a pupil of the well known teacher. Miss Marie Bissell. who was pleasure in her pupils work as well as in the production in it's tOtality.
 The other soloisfs making up tho quartet were Miss Helen Neibuhr, contralto; Paul Althouse, tenor. and Gilbert Wilson, baritone.. ali excellent and conscientious artists, who knew their parts and interpreted them with strength and intelligence.
 The enthusiasm of the audience was expressed in long and repeated ap- plause.-
 The chorus showed its training in the balance of parts, in light and shade, and especially in it's enuncia- tion, the last a detail in which a chorus of large number is apt to be singularly deficient. M
 Mrs Elmer Beardsley, who has done so much for the musical education of the people of Bridgeport. was the ac- companist.
 Mrs May Stickles Hard sang as one of the voices in the Angel Trio"
 The future of the society ought to be assured after last night. Much praise of the officers and others who assisted in promoting 1t was heard.

PINCHOT WEAK | IN COME BACK

LaFollette Told Off Over Phone That He Was Through With Him
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, April 9-Leading Re- publican progressives at the capital todAy declared all hope of presenting a united front against the Taft forces at the Chicago convention is lost, fol- lowing publication by 0ifford Pinchot of a letter to Senator LaFollette in reply to LaFollette's attack upon his "desertion' at Lincoln, Neb.
 Split wide open" is the judgment of the "progressives.' They express fear that a three-cornered fight in Chicago spells victory for the stand patters.''
 Pinchct's letter, written to LaFol- lette February IT, made public last night, declares Roosevelt is the only hope Of the ''progressives", and in 1t the forester accuses LaFOllette of breaking an agreement to fight for a was never seriously considered as a candidate with prospect of nomination. The letter was written because La Toilette refused to see Pinchot. The former forester tried to telephone the Wisconsin leader Senator LaFOllette was said to have snapped over the wire: 'T dop't want to see you or ever speak to you a9Rin."
 Tn his letter, PinchOt declares La Toilette clearly understood the object of the progressives was to fight for a principle and defeat the nomination of a reactionary. He says LAF,ollette be- gan his campaign not expecting nom- ination. Pinchot denies personal pledges of unswerving support were given
 This policy was suddenly reversed by your order several weeks ago. Pinchot says. 'I believe there is nothing to be gained. by trying to nominate a man whose nomination Is impossible"
 Your appearance in Chicago, with a mere handful of delegates would seriously impair the cause" Pinchot declared.

bill, cutting Off the State agricultural
appropriations, and indirectly all Fed

benefit of the farmers, Mr.. Rinehart
has certainly not consulted with the
farmers In his own district, who elect
Cd him, either with regard to this hill
or one or two others with which his
name is associated In the Senate cham
Der. All the county and city papers
OF the Senator'S district should take
notice of this. and lot their people
know how they are being represented
In matters of vital Importance to them
We freely voted for Mr.. Rinehart on
the single pledge upon his part that he
would faithfully represent the majority
of his supporters, and since he had no
opposition, his supporters include al
most the total voting population of the
Senator's district. OF which the farm.
ers constitute a large majority. u
therefore the farmers of this district
want the usual appropriations for their
benefit, which they do. Eenator Rine-
hart Is in honor bound to oppose his
own bill. If they wish the lime grind

abling act, which not only the farmers
OF this district desire. but also a large

bound to support these measures
