SOULFUL MELODIES

The past week was a memor
able one in the history of the
Christian church. Following the
dedication, and beginning on
Monday night with DR.. F. NJ.
Rains, on Tuesday, President
Crossfeld, Wednesday, Professor
Alamo Fortune, Thursday, Rev.
Garrison and Friday, as magni-
fcent climax, the Organ Recital.
On this occasion the building was
packed to its utmost capacity, and
a more brilliant musical program
was never given in this city. Mr..
Bert Williams, the organiSt. is a
master of his art, and for two
hours held the audience entranc-
ed by the beauty of his music. He
was assisted by Mr.. Frank Charl-
ton a highly cultivated baritone
singer, of Macon, Ga, and Miss
Marian holland, our gifted contral-
to. Miss Nolands voice is one of
great range and power, and Rich
mond is to be congratulated on
having such an artist in her
midst. Possibly her most striking
triumph was achieved in her rem
dering Lord to Thee Each Night
and Day" by Handel.
The following is a description
of the organ:
This instrument was designed
expressly for its present position
to harmonize with the architec-
ture of the church. 1t is of most
perfect workmanship and ma
terial, its voicing artistic, the
work of a Master.
1t is located in the Choir Loft,
back of the pulpit, presenting a
most pleasing appearance.
The Wind Supply is furnished
from a patented device, operated
by an Electric Motor placed below
the organ chamber.
All the important features of
modern organ building art are
here represented, this being the
latest production (2318) OF the
celebrated firm of Hook & Hast
ings Co. of Boston, who have had
the work in hand for many
months.
Itis a Tubular-Pneumatic Or
gan, its pistonS, fitting tablets,
combinations, crescendo, ETC., con-
troll various Tubular-P Pneumatic
devices, indicating the great
advance in organ building art,
and with what ease and full con-
troll the master organist may now
have over tbs resources ofthe in
Strument. The numerous devices
make possible the finest shading
of tone color and infinite variety
of combinations. The SUBJ Octave
and the Super-Octave Couplers
greatly broaden the field of the in
strument, both in solo and COM
bination use.
Musicians who have examined
the organ at the factory found
it extremely interesting, suggest
!, ing unrivalled possibilities. There
are in all 36 stops, couplers, etc,
many of the stops being very cost

I pure organ tone sober, impress

round and full the softer exquis-

have that rare quality for which
the makers are famed, and all
are most beautifully blended in a
grand, powerful, harmonious
whole.

Under a decision of the Department Of
the Interior more thai 100000 acres of
Indian lands in several western states
have been thrown open to homesteaders
and Indians for free grazing purposes.
At the same time rates have been estab-
hshed under which cattlemen may use

an income for the Indian owners until
the lands have been sold.
The lands are designated as coded In
dan lands and are scattered throughout
Wyoming, Montana, North and South
Dakota and California. Under the deci-
sion each homeSteader will have the
right to free grazing for forty head of
cattle or horses or 20 sheep. while the
individual Indian may Craze 100 head Of
cattle or horses or 500 head Of sheep.

used by cattlemen who have large herds
at rates varying from 20 cents to 81 q
head for cattle and horses and from 40
cents to $50 a head for sheep 1t is
proposed by these means to provide the
Indians an income from the lands and at
the same time to encourage homestead

WOULD BENEFIT FARMERS.
Advantage of Feeding Grain to
Stock and Selling Meat.

Average prices of farm products for the
United States have been figured out by
the bureau OF statistics Of the Agricul-
tural Department. The showing is that
meats are all higher than they were in
December, 1911. but the average price of
grains and other staple farm crops is i.
per cent lower. Hogs. beef cattle.
sheep and veal are all more expensive
than a year ago, and with the reduction
in grain crops 1t Is to the advantage of
farmers to feed their grain and turn il
into meat before they sell 1t.

Oppose Jordan Policies.

1T is understood that this severance
is caused by those named not finding
themselves in accord with the policy of
the Jordan interests, and it is rumored
that still other members-elect of the new
board will not qualify.
The connection OF more than half OF
the members of the old board elected in
1917 has thus been severed, and John
Poole, who has been the cashier of the
bank for four years, has not only re-
signed from the board, but will also sew
err his official connection.
1.-The designations include that of W. A.
III. Church. who for several years has
been the chairman of the board, and n.
H. Shea. who has served as one of the
banks vice presidents since its organiZa-
ton.

has been the launching Of a new national

Thirteen of the directors of the Com
mercial National Bank, nine of whom
were reelected by the stockholders yes
terday. decided almost Immediately to
withdraw from the institution. and aid
in carrying out a plan, previously under
informal discussion, to organize a new
national bank in Washington. as forecast
in The Star yesterday afternoon. These
thirteen directors and several other well
known business men met at the office of
Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey last night to
put their plans into effect.
1t was decided that the new bank will
be named the Federal National, and
those who are organizing it state today
that a capital stock of $4,000 and a
paid-up surplus of $125OOO for the insti-
tuition will be largely oversubscribed. \

The acton of the directors who are
Withdrawing from the Commercial Ma

organize the new bank followed the
stockholders meeting earlier in the day at
the bank, when Eldridge T. Jordan and Il
number of others associated with him
were found to hold sufficient proxies to
control the election of the directorate. 1t
is understood that the withdrawal OF the
directors was caused by their not finding
themselves in harmony with the policy of

is that we wish them success.
Interest Today in Stock.
What happened yesterday in the direc-
torate of the Commercial National Bank
served to make the stock Of that insti-
tuition of conspicuous interest at the
meeting today of the stock exchange.
The attendance was unusually large, but
little attention was given to the call, and
but little trading was done
When, however. the bank stock list was
reached the brokers seemed to ''Sit up
and take notice" and when Commercial
was called everybody was on the alert
The expectation of something going to
happen was not disappointed, tor soon
as the first bid was made for the stoc <,
and even though it was two points less
than the closing bid of yesterday, and
from three to five points less than the
selling price of yesterday, still selling
order was disclosed. and rapid exchange
of the holding took place between the
selling and the buying broker.
Stock Brought 200.
The latter filled his buying order after
he had accumulated 100 shares. for which
he paid 200 for the greater part. and
from point to half a point less for the
balance. The supply was not exhausted
at that point, but another broker came
in on the 100 level and took the balance
of the stock which the seller had, which
was three ten-Share lots.
The latter buyer bid ECO for 900 shares
or for any part of it. But after the 100
shares had been disposed of there was
no more stock offered for sale at less
than 202.
Interest was shifted to the stock of the
United States Trust as the control of
the two institutions are now much the
same, but nothing was done in the stock
and no great change was made in the
figures as compared with yesterday, the
bid being 13S, while the asking price was
lao. instead of 143 Of yesterday

Told to Kiss Them Himself.

The policeman at the front door, all men
of family, and approaching the situation,
have invariably sent the visitors to Pat.
the true custodian of presidential oscula-
ton. and other methods of making juve-
niles and their mothers happy. Pat pleads
with each of his visitors that the Presi-
dent is too busy to see anybody and
showers expressions Of deep regret that
this is the real situation. Still the moth
ers and their babies keep coming.
"Mr. Foster, what am I to do with
these kissing requests" Pat pleaded to-
day to Assistant Secretary Forster.
It's a sad thing. Pat. but l am afraid
you will have to kiss the kids yourself"
was the reply.
President Taft today autographed a
photograph. the act OF which gave him
great pleasure 1t was the photograph
of Il. p Rogers, a century citizen o.
Darien, \. Y. Mr.. Rogers is an uncle
of Representative Burke of South Da-
kota He was born in western New York
100 years ago, and cast his first vote for
the elder Harrison. Last November he
voted for Mr.. Taft, walking long dis
lance to the polls to deposit his ballot.
He is in possession of all his faculties.

Gay. but his woes have increased inn
mensely since a little four-year- old
Wyoming girl kissed the President two

Pat was a protege of President Roose-

therefore, what it means to keep people
away from Presidents and to engineer
the Presidents program of engagements
each day so that the schedule is kept as
