Harry stayed there about two months, then drove to Hillsdale, where his folks lived. His wife got the 32 Colt automatic while they were at Spalding, put it in her suit case and he never saw it again.
 When he met his wife again, it was at Cheyenne. They followed the TO- deos for several weeks, winding up at Weiser, Idaho, where he sold the car to Freeman. Then he went back to Hillsdale and his wife, accompanied by his youngest brother, Herbert, went to Los Angeles. Harry stayed at Hills dale some time, hunting cattle for his father, then, in December, joined his wife in Los Angeles.

 Nash's denial of the essential points in the testimony of Joe Bender and Cliff Kramer was just as positive. He claimed he never saw Bender until the day after his arrival at the jail here. He was then lying on the cot in his cell. He had been reading a news paper and had the newspaper over his face when Bender came in.

$50 Sing Choruses
In First Program
OF Music Festival
Oratorio Society, With New
York Symphony Orches-
sra and Star Soloisfs, Gives
The Children's Crusade

"The Children's Crusade" by Gabriel
Piernc, was given at the first concert
Of the New York Oratorio Society's
music festival last evening at the
Manhattan Opera House. Those taking
part were the society's chorus of $50,
children's chorus of 600 and the New
York Symphony Orchestra. The solo
lists who sang the music of the various
characters were Mabel Garrison, So
prano, Allys; Ottilie Schillig, soprano,
Alain and mother; Mario Chamlee,
tenor, the narrator;. Royal Dadmun,
barytone, an old sailor; Mines. Ty-
rome, Parkhurst, Mabel Leonard and
Jeanne Lavalle, four women. The
performance was conducted by Walter
Damrosch.
The incorrect statement is some
times made that Pierne with his can
tata won the City of Paris Prize. This
prize was awarded in 1904 to Tourne-
mire for his "Sircn's Blood" but
that the City Of Paris awarded him
5000 francs to pay for a puo1ic per-
formance.
The oratorio society was first to in
tioduce this work to America at a con-
cert in 1904, when Frank Damrosch
was the conductor. The most striking
portion of the work is the music of the
tnird episode, when the children on
the shores of the Mediterranean, near
Genoa, first behold the wonders Of the
sea. 1t was, therefore, pity that Mr..
Damrosch should have seen fit to omit
some sixty Of the opening measures.
The music of the choruses is Of far
~reater Importance than that written
for the soloists. The narrator's music
seldom has force or character. The
most effective solo is the story of the
allen star told by sailor. Thus the
interest of the libretto and music is
centered in the children.
The six hundred little singers who
took part last evening entered heartily
into the spirit Of the occasion. They
were alert and ready, and it was a
pleasure to hear their fresh, young
voices. Carefully trained, they were
letter perfect in text and firm in in
tonation. They performed their task
diligently, with expression, and their
snunciation was commercially clear.
The society's chorus was also de-
serving of praise. Of the soloists, Miss
Schillig made the deepest impression,
by the beauty of her voice, the elo-
quence with which she interpreted the
text and music allotted to the blind
boy, and the excellence of her diction

Aldermen Attack
Nations Neglect of
Disabled Veterans
Hold Up Resolution to Per-
init League TO SolicitFunds
OH Streets; Would Make
Beggars of Ex-Service Men

Charges that the government was not
taking proper care Of disabled soldiers
and sailors were made yesterday by
Major r. II. La Guardia, President of
the Board of Aldermen, and other men,
bers OF the board at its weekly meet
ing. A discussion of the subject ensued
when Alderman Charles ii. Haubert, OF
Brooklyn, offered resolution granting
permission to the National Disabled
Soldiers League to solicit funds on the
streets from the day of approval by the
Mayor to April 80
The war risk insurance legislation, :"
said Major La Guardia, "was passed
under d misapprehension by Congress.
We believed that it would substantially
care for disabled men. It did not work
that way at all, and to-day we find that
these men must be made virtual beg
/ gars IN order to support themselves.
The first bill, after hostilities had
ended, that Congress passed was one
appropriating $500, ,00J,0 600 to take care
! of profits lost on cancelled contracts
( Nevertheless the government has failed
properly to care for its disabled war
veterans"
Alderman Rudolph Hannoch, Of the
Bronx, declared that the war risk bu-
| reau mad refused to supply hgureS on
disabled veterans when requested to do
so by committee headed by Colonel
Wickersham. This committee is con-
ducting an inquiry on the subject and
will make report at the Carnegie Hall
mass meeting next Monday night.
Alderman Abraham Beckerman, So
| cialist, said that the government had
lost all interest in its soldiers who are
disabled
"They cannot be used to fight in an
other war;" he said, "and therefore
they are not considered of any value.
1t is not fair to wait until the govern
ment finds its conscience and aids these
men Despite the serious implication
that the government is guilty of serious
neglect, we must pass this resolution
! allowing these men to help themselves
( for the time being"
/ Aldermen Bruce M. Falconer and Will
liam f. Quinn declared that it was a
disgrace to make mendicants of war
veterans and an insult to the United
States government. This would be done,
Alderman Falconer said, if the resolu-
tion were adopted.
I On the recommendation of Aldermanic
President La Guardia that the general
welfare committee ought to make this
matter the subject of careful investi-
cation, the resolution was referred to
that committee.

Morris Plays Two New Sonatas
Stoessel, Violinist, Assists

Harold Morris, composer pianist, as
sisted by Albert Stoessel, violinist,
gave recital Of his own compositions
yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall.
Two works in manuscript were on the
program, a sonata for violin and piano
in E fat major, and a sonata for piano
in A fiat major. The first of these
was written in 1919, and the second
in 1916. But the most interesting piece
on the program was an earlier work,
a sonata for piano in B fat minor,
composed in 1914.
In this work. recently played hero
by Oliver Denton, Mr.. Morris has made
good use Of indisputable talent. 1t is
a grateful work, effectively written for
the instrument, rich in striking
themes, which have both character
and originality. There are occasional
moments of inspiration in the sonata
for violin and piano. but like the piano
sonata in A fiat the work as whole
is overelaborate and loosely con-
structcd. Both young men gave Of
