STRIKING MINERS IN FIGHT
Pitched Battles With Guards
Waged for Hours.

Berwind, Colo. Three battles, the
hottest fought since the strike Of coal
miners il Southern Colorado began,

the. three fights, one here, one at Ia

The most serious fighting took place
in Hastings, and it was there that the
mine guard was killed and the strikers
were wounded. The mine camp had

numbered, it is said, approximately 300
men, succeeded in driving them slowly
back to the mine and shelter.
While fighting outside Of the stock

strikers and guards alike, Alexander
had shot a Greek striker through the
leg, the fighting being at close range
at that time, and another Greek, one
of four who had attacked the guard
fired bullet through his skull.
At Alexander's death his fellow
guards left him on the field.

was the old German Christmas hymn:
'stille Nacht, Hell'ge Nacht," the hymn
that Mr.. Simon has given every Decem-
Der for the last i've years. Yesterday the
rendering rose to such perfection OF love-
illness and pathos as to bring to tears
many OF the listeners. The barytone solo
in this compositionNwas sung by MI. John
Waters in excellent voice. blending per-
fectly with the choral accompaniment.
The lofty aims Mr.. Simon from the first
set for his chorus, have been attained
only through long and arduous labor. A
solid, scholarly musician. he compre-
bends the whole broad field OF choral
composition, old and modern. With
boundless enthusiasm and high faith In
his chorus, he aspires to embrace every
element in the two great schools.
Mrs. Morgan's voice Is of unusually
sweet timbre, and wants nothing but
greater fexibility and abandon" to be
capable of highly dramatic work. The

which she gave in response to an en-

Mrs. Morgan's first appearance In pub
lie.
Mr.. Thompson acquitted himself to
the perfect satisfaction of every one
in the two songs Of the program and an
extra number. The Sylvelin OF Sinding
was especially charming, not only for
the fine shading of the vocal part but
for the great beauty and artistic render
ing of the accompaniment, for which lat
ter, thanks are due no less to Mrs.
Simon than to Sinding. The soloists were
all pupils Of Mr.. Simon.

TWO MOTETS' sung
BY Choral SOCIETY
Program Built Between Great Pillars
Of the Christian
Faith.
RENDERS GERMAN HYMN

The Motel Choral Society, Mr.. Otto
Torney Simon, conductor. gave a pro-
gram of absorbing interest yesterday aft
ernoon at the Columbia Theater. The
program consisted of 1.-TWO Motets" OF
the seventeenth century by Lott and
Durante; three choruses OF spring,
Springs Enchantment," by Bantock;
''The Exening Star" by Coleridge-Tay-
lor: "Hark, How the Birds!' by Lahee;
THE Tiger" by Bantock. and two
Christmas choruses of Mendelssohn and
Gaevert, ending with the beautiful old
German "Heirge Nacht" Mrs. Morgan
Bradford, contralto, sang an "Elegie," by
Massanet, with cello accompaniment by
Mr.. Ernest Lent, and Grieg's Wander
ing in the Woods" Mr.. Louis Thomp-
son. tenor, was heard in Sinding' "Syl-
velIn." and Contemplation" by FRANKIE
Harling. Mr.. John Waters sang the
'barytone solo in "Stille Nacht."
The program, to quote Mr.. Simon, was
built between two great pillars of the
Christian faith, the Nativity and the Cru
ciixion." The works he chose to erect
this arch might justly be termed the
odes in the canticle to the Resurrection
Of Nature" The vocal arch joining the
two pillars OF the crucifxion and the
nativity rose from the sadness of the
first two motets into the hopeful songs
OF spring. passed through the various
moods Of mystery In life and nature and
finally rose to the triumphant Joy OF
There Shall Star Come Forth In
the choral. The Sleep Of the Child
Jesus" of Gaevert. the resolution of the
minor final cadence-a cadence Of doubt
and foreboding-into. the optimistic major
closing chord, has an effect out OF all
proportion to its great simplicity Of
means: and this effect was realized
most perfectly by the choir. In the
'Madrigal," by Lahee, the melodies were
brought out with a beautiful clearness
that must have brought a glow to the
hearts Of the lovers of part songs.
But the great piece of the afternoon

powerful drama is referred to as THE

certainly did. 1t is a play with thret
great themes. 1t batters down the bars
of our questionable social and CONNER
