RECENT PAINTINGS BY ERNEST
LAWSON AND ALDEN WEIR.

The current exhibition at the Daniel
Gallery. devoted TO eighteen paintings by
Mr. Ernest Lawson, represents man
who has steadily been working out
strong and personal mode OF expression.
He does not care oyer-mucn. we gather,
FOR refinement Of surface. His handling is
direct and even little rough. Yet be-
cause he has the feeling OF the true artist
in him his paint somehow has quality,
which is 10 say. incidentally. that it pos
sesses a fairly indiydualized grain. What
is most ingratiating ABOUT Mr.. Lawson
work is the outlook upon nature that il
reflects. He is one Of those artists who
sit down quite unaflectedly &c make the
portrait OF place. but because they
cannot help themselves end by investing
it with a certain pictorial charm. This is
properly composed. too. not merely by
iudicious selection OF motives but by the
more reconcile process OF bringing color
and atmosphere into play and working all
Of the spontaneously observed factors In
the scene into a subtle harmony. Mr..
Lawson feeling the influence Of the Inn
pressionists. has assimilated it in his own
way The light and air in his pictures he
has put there only after loving study out
OF doors He Is a sound realist. These
scenes OF his. all painted rounda bout New
York. simply brim over with a local spirit.
Having got this he adds the touch Of his
sincere temperament. the hint OF style
in the making II is first rate show.
The water colors which Mr. Alden Weir
is showing at the Montross gallery. some
twenty-five or thirty sketches done in
England and in Connecticut. make 50
many engaging records OF lighter mo-
ments in the work OF an always dlsun-
guished artist They are in an almost
uniformly delicate key. notes in which
sivery grays and greens recall for us the
quiet tones OF English streams. Some OF
these sketches have remarkably inu-
mate character. In the River Gate on
il .hen" and in the "Itchen Abbas' we
breathe the very air OF lzaak Walton's
old haunts The collection on the whole
has little 20 say In matters Of design. Mr..
Weir has not paused 10 consider very
deeply the form 20 be given 10 his impress
sion. But the freshness Of that impression
and the SAVIOR Of personality which goes
with II make il easy enough 20 forget
composition. In such fragments as these
il is Just the artists effortless. character
is,ic touch that counts.

WINS BY KNOCKOUT ROUTE
Mike Gibbons, Clever St. Paul Man,
Wins from Bob McAllister In Sew
enth Round for Final Count.
BLOW TO JAW ENDS MATCH

New York, Jan. 13.-Mike Glib
bons of st. Paul knocked out Bob
McAllister of San Francisco in the
seventh round of 1O-round match
last night. A decisive blow, right
hook to the jaw, came at the end
of a minute and 38 seconds fighting
in the seventh.
Gibbons weighed in at 1862 IL
pounds and McAllister at 100. The
Californian also had the advantage
in height and reach.
McAllister outpointed his oppon-
ent in the first four rounds, although
Gibbons occasionally sent over hard
left hooks. Gibbons got to his man
in the fifth, landing left hooks to
the jaw and effective rights to the
body, but McAllister's work at long
range evened up the round.
Gibbons repeatedly hooked Meal
lister on the jaw with lefts in the
sixth and McAllister showed signs
of tiring. In the final round Glib
bons caught the Californian with a
right cross to the jaw, staggering
his man. He followed up his ad-
vantage with bombardment Of lefts
and rights and ended the contest
with a hard right hook to the point
of the jaw.

Famous Band Leader, Who With His
Two Talented Daughters Appeared
at Methodist Auditorium.
MANY ENJOY CONCERT
Famous Band Master And His Two
Talented Daughters Entertained
Large Audience Last Evening.
PROGRAM FAR ABOVE AVERAGE

Kryl, the world-famed corneter
and bandmaster, with his two talent
ed and charming daughters, jose
phine, violinist, and Marie, pianist,
delighted select and enthusiastic
audience at the Methodist Church
auditorium last evening. ~
In the appearance of this trio of
artists, the assurance of the Woman's
Study club that our city would be
favored with musical event of rare
excellence, was more than fulfilled.
1t was superior program in it's
every number. =
y After hearing Kryl it. Is easy to
understand why he has attained the
fame which makes him an attraction
in the musical centers of the world.
He is complete master of the COR
net. His rendition of king Carni-
VAL" his own composition, with it's
low theme and accompaniment, Is
wonderful and in itself crowns him
an artist of great ability.
But, even when compared with the
great Kryl, his youthful daughters
emphasize the excellence of the pro-
gram by their skill. Josephine plays
the violin with such rare sympathy,
expression and strength as to cause
wonder that one SO young could ac-
quire such proficiency. In her rem
dition of Faust Fantasie." with
wonderful technique and clear har-
monies, she was the admiration Of
every auditor. 70
Marie, the younger of the daugh-
ters, is a prodigy as pianist. In her
solos, as we'll as an accompanist, she
plays with such exquisite expression
and rare skill as to entitle her to
high rank as an artist.
The concluding number, the can
gels Serenade" number, in which all
joined, afforded each artist an op-
portunity to manifest skill, and
furnished great finale to superb
entertainment.
If Kryl and his daughters, or
either of them, ever again favor Be.
midi with their presence it is GER
tain that our best auditorium will
be taxed to it's capacity.

Clarence George, Now Serving Year
In Leavenworth Finds Secretary Is
Not Always The Same
CRITICISED SUPERIOR OFFICERS
Recommended That Soldier Now Be
Pardoned and That, His Back Pay
Be Restored To Him

From Congressman G. H. Tavenner
Washington, January 13-Secre-
tary Joseph Patrick Tumulty moi
only has the fine tact that indicates
he has kissed the Blarney stone OF
the native land of his ancestors, but
he has the impulsive warm-hearted-
ness that is characteristic Of the Irish
Consequently now that Tumulty has
discovered that he was the unwittin g
cause of a harsh punishment infiict-
ed upon private soldier in the regu-
lar, he has gone about it to make
what amends he can.
The soldier is Clarence L. George,
who is now undergoing a sentence Of
years Imprisonment in the Leaven-
worth federal penitentiary for criti-
cising his superior officers subver-
sive Of the army discipline, with fore
feiture Of his pay and with dishon-
orable discharge in the bargain. It
came about in this way.
Shortly after Woodrow Wilson'S s
nomination by the Democratic Party
for the Presidency, George wrote a
letter to Tumulty approving of Mr..
Wilson as a candidate and hoping for
his election. Tumulty answered in
his usual fashion which is somewhat
warmer in tone than ordinary routine
correspondence is likely to be. 1t was
only the private secretary's warm
hearted nature showing forth in his
routine work, but the soldier got the
idea that he had won a personal
friend In Tumulty and one in whom
he could confide his troubles.
George had few troubles. One
of these consisted of looking on the
wine when it is red, and this procliv-
ity kept him in continual hot water.
Army discipline is rigorous, and the
private formed the opinion that the
severe penalties visited upon him
were amounting to persecution. So
he sat down and told Tumulty all
about 1t in long letter, expressing
his opinions with the utmost frank
ness.
Tumulty in New Jersey and Tumul-
cy in the White House, however, were
different persons. The White House
has big crops Of clerks, who see to
it that only the more important COM
munications get to the private Sec
retary. So Georges letter, instead of
reaching Tumulty went to the War
Department, and from there back to
the army post where Private George
was stationed. There it became Ex-
hibit A in a court martial for the
soldier, and when he was found guilty
the heavy punishment was meted out
for him.
The case having recently been
brought to his attention, Tumulty
has made a formal recommendation
to President Wilson that George be
pardoned and that his back pay be re-
stored to him.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
MAKES GOOD RECORD
Cases Prosecuted During 1913 Re
suited in Convictions While Many
Thought Best To Plead Guilty
EXPENSE LOWEST IN YEARS
Manslaughter Case Against August
Johnson, Slayer Of Sam Marin
Shortest Murder Trial on Record

Graham M. Torrance, county at
torney has forwarded his annual
report to the. attorney general. The
report shows an unusual record for
a prosecuting attorney and shows
that during the past year a convic-
ton was secured in every case where
the defendant stood trial.
The expense of the county in the
handling of criminal cases for the
year was the lowest for the past ten
years. This result was not due to
the lack of criminals apprehended,
but to a large extent on account Of
the fact that large number en-
tered pleas of guilty, either before
or after indictment.
The principal cases disposed of
during the year were:
Johnson Guilty.
Manslaughter: August Johnson.
Guilty on trial.
Forgery-Alex Sawyer, Ben Over
by, Frank Dowd, David Dixon.
Alex Sawyer stood trial, was con-
victed, and the other three pleaded
guilty.
Grand Larceny, First Degree
John Stalberk, plea of guilty.
Grand Larceny in Second Degree
MN. Clark, Fred Busik, Steve Rogers,
Barney Lynch, Chas. McKinnon.
The first three were found guilty
on trial, and the last two entered
pleas of guilty.
Three Plead Guilty.
Burglary-Otto Hermsdorfer, Wal
ter l.. Barth, James Johnson, Tom
Mashik, Clifford Elmer.
The first two were found guilty on
trial, and the last three pleaded
guilty. :.
Shortest Case.
The manslaughter case against
August Johnson, for the shooting Of
Sam Marin in Bemidji on February
1st, was the shorest homicide trial
ever held in the county. The case
was called at 9 a. M, the jury was
selected and the state rested at noon,
the case was closed and submitted
to the jury in the evening of the
same day, and the jury rturned a
verdict of guilty early the next
morning. The case was tried before
Judge Stanton.
The report of the county attorney
on file with the county auditor.
shows that during the year he ex-
pended from his contingent fund
the sum of $112.72 in the prepar-
alton and trial of civil and criminal
business for the county, travelling
expenses and incidental expenses.
The law permits the expenditure of
900 from this fund each year.
