The auditorium committee, at It's
executive session Tuesday afternoon
failed to take definite action IN the
matter of selecting site Tor the
building. After spending some time
in a discussion of the relative merits
of the Market street and Caldweii
sites on McCallie, the committee al

chairman, 2. w. Wheland. so tar
as can be learned majority OF the
committee of five was prepared Tues
day afternoon to vote finally Tor the
Market street site, which runs
through to Broad just south or the
car barns of the Chattanooga Railway
& Light company, but decided In de-
ference to the demand of the MINOR
ity to postpone final action. The next
meeting of the committee Will PROB
ably take place early next week.
Members in addition to Chairman

.DURKEE AND DURHAM
GET JAIL SENTENCES
CHARGED WITH DEFRAUD-
ING CLEVELAND MILLS.
Final Chapter in Which Soap
Company Paid Fine Of
S14.060.

w. II. Durkee and George Dunham,
former employees OF the Cleveland |
Wooden Mills at Cleveland, Tenn,
were each sentenced to three months
in the Bradley county Jail and fined
$500 and costs, aggregating approx
imately $4,000 in each case, in red
eral court this morning. Both plead
guilty t6 the governments charge or
conspiracy TO use the mails TO de-
fraud and to using the mails TO de-
fraud, withdrawing the plea OF not
guilty made during the last session
of court. 80
Immediately after the penalty was
pronounced by Judge Sanford, they
were taken in custody by Sheriff E.
l.. Gibson, of Bradley county. and
were carried to Cleveland for con-
finement.
Charles S.. Mayfield, of Cleveland.
was counsel for Durkee, and APP
pearing for Durham was Byron Ia
tum. Each of these attorneys re-
uuested the court that the prisoners
be confined in the Bradley county
| Jail.
Durkee and Durham were indicted
| for defrauding the mails and for
conspiracy during the last term OF
federal court. 1t was charged tnat
they entered into an agreement with
the Warren Soap Manufacturing
company at Boston to furnish the
Cleveland Wooden mills with an m
ferior brand of soap other than the
hind contracted for, and that Dur
kee. who was then purchasing agent
for the wooden mills, was to receive
a considerable bonus out of the sales.
Finding that soap bills were consid-
erably increased during the employ
ment of Durkee, and also finding
sufficient evidence to the ERECT that
he was defrauding, the Cleveland
fWoolen mills dismissed Durkee. In
looking around for another man to
take his place, they employed George
l H. Durham, who also was guilty OF
the same offense, but with repa-
rate company.
{, The Boston concern at the last SEES
sion of court pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined $4,000 by Judge
Sessions.
Durkee and Durham will remain in
confinement until payment OF the
large costs, stated District Attorney
w. Il. Kennerly this morning. Fol
that reason, he said. the term of con
finement is likely to run over three
months, as imposed, as both men are
said to be unable to pay the amount

THE ROSENBLATT RECITAL.

A large audience attended the
Recital at the Auditorium on Mon
day evening, OF Cantor Josef Rosen-
blatt, of the First Hungarian Con
gregation, Oheb Zedek, of New
York. The consensus of opinion
was that Cantor Rosenblatt came
up to the expectations Of the audi
ence. Possessed of a beautiful
tenor he sang several selections
from the ritual in way that
warmed the heart of the Jews in the
audience. The CAV Horachamim,'
"Omar Rabbi Elozor," and 'Kol
Nidre," were we'll received, as were
also the folk songs. The operate
selections also were we'll rendered,
showing his technique and versatil-
ity.
TO what extent the falsetto is in
digenous to the synagogue melody
we are not prepared to say. Is it
possible that the synagogue, not
permitting female voices, uncon-
scious1y encouraged falsetto that
would be reminiscent of the So
prano: At any rate one feels that
more of the synagogue melodies
would have been welcome. To the
old, they would have been more
grateful than the opera selections;
to the young it would have given
better insight into the beauty of the
ritual; and to the Gentiles in the
audience a wider glimpse into the
nature of Jewish devotional music
would have been as welcome as the
lighter selections. All this does not,
however, detract from the beauty of
the tonal effects of Rosenblatt's
singing. The reception given him
was hearty and his response Gin the
way of encores), generous.
