General Dyer's Action at
Amritsar, Where Troops
Fired Into Crowd, As

Order Called Inhuman
Minority Members of Board
Inquiring Into Unrest
Attack Officers Deeds

LONDON, May 25.--The findings of
the commission appointed by the
B ritsh government to investigate the
cause of the unrest in India, with the
attending disorders, were made public
to-day. The incidents investigated in
cluded the Amritsar affair, in April,
1919, when natives in the Jallianwala
Bagh enclosure at Amritsar were fired
upon by troops under General R. E. H.
Dyer, then in command in India.
The commission, with Lord Hunter
.. chairman, submitted majority re-
DO y by the five English members and
a T.. inority report of the three Indian
members. An official summary of the
two says in part:
with the exception of the Jallian-
wala Bagh and certain minor incidents
both the Indian and English members
generally agree in justifying the firing
done by the police and the military
They agree in pronouncing unfavorably
upon General Dyer's handling of the
Jallianwala Bagh meeting and upon
certain of the orders passed in the
law. They further agree in exonerat-
ing the government OF India from all
blame.
Move Against Government
"Re9a riding Amritsar the English
members hold that the outbreak was
government at every stage, hos
tility to government quickly merging
into antipathy for Europeans. as such
and eliminating on April 10 in the
murder Of five inoffensive persons and
assaults on others. The Indian mem
bers think that the anti-European SEN
timent developed subsequent to the
firing on April 10, but do not dissent
from the view that the firing was nee
essary.
THE English members consider thai
General Dyer's conduct at the Jallian-
wala Bagh is open to criticism in two
spects-tirst, in that he fired without
warning, and, second, in that he con.
tinued firing too long.
"They consider that General Dyer
through a mistaken belief that con
tinued firing would be justified by the
effect produced in other places, com.
mitted grave error But they do no.
think that General Dyer can be blamed
for not attending TO the wounded, a:
they are not convinced that any one
was exposed to unnecessary suffering
Tor want Of medical attention.
This opinion is not shared by the
Indian members, who, while agreeing II
the condemnation of General Dyer's ac.
ton, take a graver view of the whole
incident, stigmatizing his conduct a:
lnhuman and un- n-Britisn."

Burke Sings Full
Voiced; Drenches
Airs With Emotion
IrisI, Soluis, Uses ViriIe
Voice Crt.dely in Hippo
dronc Concert; His Very
Faults Charm Populace

One of the pleasant things about
Tom Burkc's concert at the IIippodrome
last evening was an arrangement for
cello Of the "Chant au Soleil" from
RimskyKorsakov's Cog d'Or,' which
was playct by Miss Helen Scholder
The concert was the occasion of the
first appearance in New York of Mr.
Burke, a tenor, who, according to Lon
don newspapers as we'll as his press
agent, sang with success at Convent
Garden his season. Among other
things he appeared in the tenor roles
Of two OF Puccinis onc-act operas,
"Gianni Schicchi" and al Tabarro." >"
Last week Mr.. Burke sang at saranac
for the first time IN America.
Some one leaving the Hippodrome
last cvenig remarked, "Hs is more Irish
than a tenor.' This is rot altogether
true. Nv. Burke was born in Lanca-
shire of Irish parents. Most of his
musical eoucaton was carried on in
Italy. However, Mr.. Burke's ideas of
singing are even more remarkable than
his voice He has little respect for
to suit his taste. 1t is true
that he has virile voice, which he
uses cruIely.
1t is also true that he has several
effective upper notes. These he sings
with full voice and drenches with emo
ton. In these, too, no doubt lie his
charm for the populace. To the dis
eliminating he is too much given to
forcing tone and to the abuse of fall
settO.
After his introduction by Father
Duffy, Mr.. Burke sang Otello's prayer
from Verdi's opera. This was followed
by an aria from Massent's "Werther"
Grieg's "a Dream" "Qucsto O Quella,"
from "Rigoletto," and group Of Irish
songs. In the singing of Grieg's song
and of the operate arias. both those TN
the program and those which were
added as encores and which included
Mario's first aria in "Tosca" and GA
Donna Mobile," there were curious
crudities. And in the Irish ballads
there was little further to commend
the singer. Of pure singing in corn

No Compromise Possible
After declaring that no possible
compromise on the California question
could appreciably remove the funda
mental causes for what it terms the
misunderstanding between the two ma
hons. The Herald OF Asia declares the
danger IS increased and rendered more
actual by the extension Of anti-JAp-
ancse rciudices in Far Eastern fields,
especially in China. "where the Amcri-
cans, with the willing cooperation of
the British miss no opportunity OF
showing uD the Japanese in the worst
possible light before the Chinese, thus
trying to keep the two Asatic nations
estranged."
The newspaper charnos that the
Americans think that thus they advance
their own economic and political in
tcrests. but it expresses the belief that
one day China will awaken to what it
terms the common dangers importing
the development of the Asiatic races.
When Asia awakes again TO play it's
role in world history, the Herald of
Asia says, every deed of injustice and
unmerited Drovocation experienced at
