the Wilmington Community Service is
establishing here.
When Mr.. Barnhart was approached
he said the smal units were not as
successful as a big sing, because of the
psychological effects and that in abey-
ance TO his opinion the big community
sing was established. Mrs. dupont said
that no one would forget the wonderful
scenes last summer when so many peo-
pie assembled in front Of the Public
Building for the sings. She hoped that
Mr.. Barnhart might at times return
here for a sing.
Mrs. John Bancroft told Of her
pleasure at the sings aud at Mr. Barn
harts efforts as a director She also
referred to the division in the chorus
and that there had been some outside
talking and too much inside tattling.
When the question OF a sing next
Tuesday was broached, Mr.. Nlelds an
nounced That as the members Of the
Executive Committee had resigned.
they had decided that lt would not be
using the chorus honestly If plans
made for next Tuesday were fosted
upon them. But this did not meet with
the approval Of the chorus The mem
bers expressed themselves I'm favor ~

were to have the Harlan band. William

two
This brought on a discussion about
the band. W. \. Moore voiced the SEN
timent OF Mr.. Barnharrs supporters
that the band was not necessary. That
few instruments, for instance. a cor
net. could lead the chorus all right
His opinion OF The futility of having
the band brought applause from Mr..
Barnhsrt's friends.
Mfr Nields said that the band had
procured special music scores for the
next sing, anticipating that they would
be continued as per arrangement for
next week, and that this had entailed
some expense. He reminded the Choir
us that the band had not cost the
chorus anything because Of Mrs
duPonts $50 gift Mrs. dupont said
that she gave the money ostensibly
ch0rus's money TO use as 10 pleased.
1t was finally decided to engage the
band for next week.
Prior TO adjournment Miss Ethel
Wilson said that she thought there

Executive Committee for the admir- |
able manner in which things had been
conducted. through the many trying |
and unpleasant conditions that had

ANIMAL ACT AT LYRIC
By Associated Press

Mount Clemens, Mich. May 16.-Opening statements of counsel in the libel suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Tri- bune occupied the entire day in Judge Fuckers court. Weymouth Kirkland, of counsel for the Tribune, who spoke in the afternoon, hadnnot concluded when court adjourned until next Monday. He will resume then, after which the impor- tant question of scope of evidence will be argued by counsel.
 Former Judge Alfred J. Murphy of De- troit of counsel for the plaintiff, occu- pied the forenoon installing his case, in the course of which he alleged that the Tribune's advocacy of intervention in Mexico was due to pro-Germansm and a desire to ald the International Harves- ter company and the Standard Oil com pany.
 Mr Kirkland in his remarks ridiculed these claims and claimed not only justi- flcation of it's comment on MT. Ford, in which he was called an anarchist and ac- cused of ignorance but asserted that as Mir Ford's wealth, position and pacifist propaganda had made him public char acter it was the plain duty of the news paper to call him to account for policy which. in the Tribunes opinion, would render the country impotent while Eu- rope was in flames and anarchy reigned south of the Rio Grande.
