Artistically, the second appearance
of Dalmau, the. Argentina violinist,
at the Lyric Theatre yesterday eve

nancially it was not to be mentioned.
A great recital was rendered to the
traditional 'beggarly array OF

NIT, that it was through lack of cul-

citation of the great artist visiting
their city. 1t is simply case of the
people playing for safety first"

RESULT GIVEN
 HuCHES' REPORT
 ON AEROPL AYES
Report Says That There Were Enormous Profits Realized in Some
 Instances.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Charels E. Hughes, special investigator ap pointed to make a report on aircraft production, owing to charges of in efficiency and waste of money, says in his report that the charges for a defective organization of the Army Signal Corps was chiefly responsible for the failures and delays in getting airplane models from the Allies, and the preparation of specifications for production.
 He says the plans were frequently changed and we'll equipped plants often could not get contracts, which weht+ to plants with few quahffca. tions. He says the profits in some instances were enormous. Attorney General Gregory says these profits reverted to the Government again in the form of taxes.
 Hughes says the labor conditions generally were unsatisfactory. He said the Packard plant labor turn over was between 400 and 600 per cent. The report shows that the Dayton Wright corporation, with a million dollar capital, and the Gov ernment financing of $1,450,000 had prospects of profits over $6,000,OO0. He said the Ford company will make profit of over $5.000,OOO on Liberty motors on an investment of not over $11,000,000.
 Both the Attorney General and MT. Hughes in their reports of the mis takes and delays concerning the old Aircraft boards, recommend that criminal prosecutions be started against four army officers.
 Indictments will probably be issued tomorrow against the men named in the aircraft scandal. Three of them live here.
