other reasons" said Burtt. "Shima

Contrary to previous report, Shima
never possessed controlling interest
nor intended to colonize the tract with

ard erroneous stories were circulated
he promptly withdrew.
The mistaken report that Shima had
secured controlling interest and in
tended to work the tract with Japan.

that he made a personal visit of in

GROWTH IS SHOWN
BY SUE HARVARD
Soprano Clues NeW Sacred
Song Recital.

Sue Harvard soprano. gave her sec
ond song recital last evening In Aeolian
Hall Her programme had merit in re-
spect OF unconventionality and variety,
although some very familiar numbers
were found in the list. But some Of the
old English and the old Welsh songs
were unworn and welcome.
Miss Harvard's frst recital disclosed
voice of good natural quality. whose
value was lessened by poor tone produc-
ton. especially In the upper range and
by some impure vocalization.
Last evening she proved that she had
not been blind to her own defects and
had striven to overcome them While
the shrillness had not been removed en-
tirely from the higher notes It had been
softened and in the medium the fulness
OF the tone was much better. In grada-
ton also she showed decided advance,
and In warmth Of tone and in color she
exhibited new requirements.
In style and Interpretation her recital
was uneven. Some of her songs wer.
poorly sung. but her best was indeed
good. Her most satisfying achievement
was tho delivery of the unaccompanied
air, "Piesnia lubashi," from Rmsky-
Korsakov's opera. THE Tsar's Bride
She sang this with excellence in sus-
tained phraslng. with considerable va
riety OF nuance and with well expressed
feeling.
Similar effects were attained in Cosimo
Bottegaris MILO parto." In such rapid
lyrics as Moussorgskys 1.-THE Maggie
and the Little Gypsy Dancer" she was
less successful through want Of per-
feet control of her technic. Miss Har-
ward sang the old Welsh songs in the
original. Whether her pronunciation was
good or not might better be decided in
Scranton or Wilkesbarre.
