TOTS TITS DEFENSE
WALL AGANsT, POSSE
Farmer. Defyins Arrest. Shows Sheriff
What He Must Shoot at
to Get Him.
NAY SURRENDER TOMORROW

Mayville,- N. Y, Jan. 1s.-The siege OF
Edward Beardsley. the Summerville farm
er, today resolved itself into q WAITING
game. The outlaw has agreed to give
himself up Wednesday, but only on hii
own terms. He stipulated that the nine
children who have been his safeguard
since the siege began be taken to the
home Of his brother Charles In Titus
vile. and that he be permitted to go tc
jail in Mayville In the custody Of his
lawyer, Ray F. Pickard. Of jamestown
No startling development II expected be
bore Wednesday. In the meanwhile Sher-
in Anderson and his posse are keeping
guard at their camp. well out Of range Of
Beardsleys rife.
Today Is the seventh that Beardsley
has openly defied the law as exempli-
ned by Sheriff Anderson. A week ago
Tuesday he shot J. w. Putnam. over
seer of the poor of Chautauqua County,
and since that time has successfully
demonstrated that he is beyond the
reach of the law. He has had COM
plete control OF the situation, and his
authority has NOT been questioned.
Fear of injuring the nine children has
been the leash that mas held the sheriff
and his men In check. That Beardsley
well knows this was illustrated during
one Of the many parleys he has held
with the sheriff'p representatives Pulling
aside the burlap covering Of the window,
he invited his interviewers to see what
the sheriff and his men would have to
shoot through to get him. Beardsley was
crouched on the floor, rife in hand. be-
hind his sister-in-law and the wall Of
little children.

The program was prefaced by few

older choral music with the subtlety
and the involved harmony Of the mod

the program. The audience was to de-
eide for themselves which they liked
better. the old or the new.
The choruses were chosen from n
wide range of composers: Debussy.
Pucfnni. Bemberg. Franck. Bornschein.
Nevin. and Rachmaninoff. Cesar Franck's
Song Of the Ermine." from his opera
'Hulda." and Bornschein's "Colors of the

Angel" and Glorious Forever the most
worthy Of note.
These Rachmaninoff choral works are

sian atmosphere. distinctive, unusual,
and well worthy of intimate acquaint-
ance. The sturdy. good work Of the
chorus was especially brought out in the
intricate rhythmical and harmonic nu-
ances of these Russian works. The pub
lie should be grateful to Mrs. Blair for
introducing these new and unusual
works
Each song last night seemed chosen for
soma psychological mood. and Mrs. Blair
had her chorus well trained to the ex-
pressioh of every shade of poetic feeling
of which the singers were capable The
chorus Is doing good work, and was a
worthy background for the artist. Miss
Wirthlin.
Miss wirthlin has a mellow, rich con-
tralto voice Of much sweetness and
power. Her Interpretation of Brahms
''Mainacht" and Der Schmied," and Of
Strauss "wiegenlied. was the work of
an artist. Two songs that are rarely
heard-Grant Schafers THE Eagle" and
''The wind''-songs closely allied in
spirit with the poems. were superbly
sung: as was also Her Rose by Whit
ney Coombs. Miss wirthlin received her
voice training from Marie Lehman. sis
ter of the great ILL Lehman.
The highest praise Is due Miss Lucy
Brickenstein. whose perfect accompani-
ments contributed SO much to the sue

COMMITTEES Of the Senate. Referring to
Lamar. Senator Lippitt said:
s.This' u gsntleman Of very unsavory
Reputation. becauss he has tried to use
CouRress . 9 means Of private gain for
manipulating the price Of stocks Tn Wall
street"
Senator Lane finally consented to so out
and get the witnese Green When he re
turned he declared that Green had told
him that Lamar was not Engineering the
proposition at al"
when Mr. Green took the stand. he ex-
planned to the committee that he had
learned q lot of things from some other
gentlemen. who were unwilling to give
their names to the Senate committee. He
admitted that he had conferred with
David Lamar. anc that Lamar was In
terested in having the investigation.
''Do you know what his interest ID In
having the Investigation nader inquired
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas.
The witness replied that he did not, but
he admitted that he had consulted with
Lamar within ten minutes. He denied
that he had taken the step looking to the
investigation at Lamar's instigation
When asked why he had been consulting
80 freely with Lamar. Green replied:
shulties II Named.
" AiiuW just Wnal u ctIdte-
gist would do. / am not a strategist."
Senator Townsend asked the witness
who drew the resolution that Senator
Lane had introduced. He replied that he
did not know, but in reply to questions
said that II had been handed to him by
Mr. Shulties. (Herman ]. Shulties has
been identified with the so-called Anti
Trust League, of which Henry B. Martin
Is secretary, and the two have been in
close communion with David Lamar.
Martin testified before the lobby COM
mittee that he drew the Stanley resolu-
ton for the investigation Of the Steel
Trust.)
Green admitted that Lamar would be
one of the witnesses he would ask to be
called.
Further testimony showed that Green
had been to see the President to try to
get an investigation, and the President
had refused to take an interest in 1t.
Green testified that Senator Norris en-
deavored to get an appointment with the
President. but failed, and when asked
why he did not get Senator Norris to in
troduce the resolution. he replied that he
thought 1t was better strategy to have a
Democrat introduce II.
Senator Lane frequently interrupted
members of the committee in their uues-
tioning, pleading for fair treatment for
Mr.. Green. There were frequent clashes
between Senator Lane and members of
the committee Mr.. Lane insisted that
the committee was not as eager as 1t
should be for the investigation. At the
end of the hearing. the Interstate Com
merce Committee voted to refer the reso-
luton to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and to the Attorney General for
such action as in their judgment It
might merit.

Lamar before asking Senator Harry
Lane, of Oregon, to introduce the reolu-
ton in the Senate directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to investigate
whether the United States Steel Corpora
ton had received unlawful rebates within
the last five years.
This resolution aroused some interest
in the Senate when 1t was proposed by
; Senator Lane, January L. The resolution
was referred the following day to the
Committee on Interstate Commerce, over
Mr.. Lanes protest. Among other things,
1t directed the commission TO forthwith
subpoena and bring before 1t William
H. Green to give testimony relative to
unlawful rebates received by the United
States Steel Corporation from common
carriers"
The Interstate Commerce Committee
has held several meetings.
Yesterday Senator Lane was heard and
he was requested to bring Mr.. Green
