Nine. Julia Claussen. a mezzosoprano
OF the Metropolitan Opera House, gave a
song recital last evening in Carnegie
Hall. Doubtless she would have been
glad to give II some other night, for she
was laboring under the difficulties raised
by cold. Concertgoers perhaps do not
realize that recitals cannot always be
postponed. Aside from the matter OF
the expense which is not inconsiderable.
1t Is not always easy to secure another
date when the singer. especially II she
be engaged at the opera. Is at liberty.
Consequently the recital usually has
to take place on the originally chosen
date, cold or no cold, and the singer
must get through the ordeal as well as
possible. Not infrequently. however, a
cold Is by no means ar unmixed evil.
The necessity of exercising more than
ordinary care in tone production and
the control of the breath in phrasing
operates to the benefit Of the singers art
Nine. Claussen's voice last evening
was wanting In smoothness and clarity
of tint and occasionally the hoarseness
was obtrusive. But seldom has she
sung with more repose and closer ap-
proach to that dignity of style which
belongs 90 the Interpretation of such
lyrics as those of Brahms The four
lieder Of this master, which constituted
the second group OH the program. evoked
the best resources of the singer. Nine.
Claussen at her best is not an ideal
interpreter of these extremely introspec-
tive songs. but last evening she delivered
them with much sincerity. She had the
capable assistance of Frank La Forge.
who has been more active of late than
he was for several seasons, and whose
admirable saccompaniments always pro-
vide a rich background for the art of
any singer.
Norman Johnston. barytone, gave a
song recital yesterday afternoon in Aeo-
lian Hail. This newcomer revealed some
merits which may commend him to the
consideration Of observant music lovers.
He sang songs Of varying sentiments
and styles with intelligence and with =
finish which proved that he had studied
each lyric carefully. His phrasing and
shading were good. His tone production
was generally free. and In the delivery
of head tones he showed the kind Of
skill that many singers seek but fail to
find.
Mr.. Johnston's voice is one OF small
power and limited color. His best ef-
forts could not overcome it's tendency to
clothe itself in somberness. and this de-
feated the singers attempts at COM
munication of feeling in many instances
The accompanlments were well played by
Charles A. Baker.

Senator Borah Scores
Ship Subsidy Measure
Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Washington, June 29,-The ad-
mnistration ship subsidy program is
"a perfectly vicious policy of reliev-
ing a certain class from taxation" ,"
according to a statement made by
Senator Borah, Idaho. Senator Boral'
took the occasion to comment on the
ship subsidy bill in connection with
renewed activity among republicans
for a change in rules making it less
difficult to apply cloture rule os-
tensibly to limit debate on the tariff.
The real object of cloture at this
particular time and the reason for so
much activity in regard to it is, in
my judgment, to assist putting
through the ship subsidy" said
Senator Borah. That measure will
not stand discussion. If it were
thoroughly discussed and the details
of the bill explained, it would result
in leaving a large number of
congressman who might vote for 1t
at home"

British Oil Camp
Seized by Band Of
Mexican Rebels
Half Dozen Americans Among
s. Men Taken by Raiders
1900 Pesos Demanded
for Surrender.

Washington, June 29.-Overnight
advices to the State department from
Tampico served to change materially
the situation in the Mexican oil re-
gion resulting from the holding for
ransom by rebel band of 40 Amer
lean employees at the Aguada camp
OF the Cortez Oil company. an
American owned concern. Consul
Shaw reported that the rebel chief,
Gorozave, and his men left the camp
Monday morning after a 24-hour
stay. Tho message, Hated yesterday,
seemed to"ha.e clcai4d the air, but
on its heels came aoether dispatch,
filed last night by the consul. saying
that the rebels had seized the Pecera
camp of the British owned La
Corona company and that about half
dozen Americans were among the
IS men held there.
Demand 5000 Pesos.
No further advices came today. In
demanding 5000 pesos for the sur
render of the Pecera property and
the employees the rebels fixed July 2
as the date by which payment must
be made. Whether the $4,000 pesos
demanded at the camp was paid is
not stated in any of the messages.
The State department promptly in
structed Charge Summerlin at Mex
leo City to make representations in
regard to adequate protection for any
Americans held in connection with
the new raid on the British owned
company. Mr.. Summerlin also was
directed to press Mexican federal
authorities to capture and punish
bandits who captured A. Bruce Bic
laski.
Beyond these new representations
to the Obregon government there
was no indication the State depart
ment intended to move at present.
II was pointed out that the d:part-
mcnt was not in possession of any
information tending 70 show that the
raids in the oil region were more
than they appeared to be on the
face of Consul Shaw's reports, the
operations of bandits levying or
seeking to levy tribute on the Oil
companies.
Troops Sent to Tampico.
Both official and unofficial adviccs
showed that the Obregcn govern
men: was moving additional. troops
into the Tampico distr;c. for the
evid,rt purpose Of suppressing rebel
CT tal!dit activities. 1t is generally
assumed here that Suffcien! troops
viii te distributed about the district
to prevent such raids as those Of
Gorozave as quickly as possible.
1t was evident also from the re-
ports, official or otherwise, reaching
Washington from the oil region dur
ing the week that communication
with the outlying camps is slow at
best and that detailed accounts of
what took place at the Aguada prop
erty have been unavailable as yet TO
Consul Shaw. He did report. how
evcr,' that Gorozave, on leaving the
American camr Monday, threatened
to return and seize the nearby
British Pecera camp and also prop
erty Of the Mexican and Gull Oil
company in the same reglo1.

Sutton Makes Plea.
Sutton's plea was that the four
were not common criminals. "
They are not 'pcnitcntiary birds"
he declared. They did not know,
had never heard of that section Of
the penal code they are accused Of
violating
He declared Wohlberg was the
sole support of widowed mother
and sister and had sent two broth
ers through college; that Chipley, all
old man, came from an old southern
family that would be disgraced to
come and look at him behind the
bars that Masse had spent his last
cent in his defense and his wife would
have to 60 to work to support her
self; and that McWhortcr was
broken, financially and physically,
and could not live two years if he
were sent to the penitentiary.
Under Another Indictment.
Wohlberg has been in Omaha
since his conviction in the spring, but
the other three arrived on morning
trains. Sentence was set for yester
day because their attorney left last
night for Europe and because Judge
Munger was III town yesterday tor
the barristers' field day.
Tom Allen of Lincoln, formerly
United States district attorney, un-
der whose regime indictments were
returned against the four, will repre-
sent them in the appeal case. which
probably will not come up until the
September term of court.
The four sentenced yesterday also
are under indictment for using the

Defeat of McCumber to Put
Dent in Old Guard Control
Omaha Rec Leased Wire.

Washington. June 29.-The ap-
parent defeat Of Senator McCumbcr,
North Dakota. in Yesterdays pri-
mary will cause deep dent in the
old guard control of the senate
If Mr.. McCumber tails to secure

period.
, Through the operation of the semi

Gran OF q years service in the SELL

mittee and second in rank on the
foreign relations committee. These
two committees in recent years have
come to be regarded as the most
powerful in congress.
Smcot Next In Line.
The craftsmanship of the finance
tcommittec. in the event OF Senator
McCumber's defeat, will go to
Senator Snoot, Utah, who now oc-
cupies second place, but there is no
telling how long Senator Smoot
will remain in congress. Persistent
reports are in circulation that at no
far distant date Senator Smoot will
be called to head the Mormon
church, a summons which. as a de-
vout member OF that denomination,
he could not ignore.
It is at this ju.ncture that seniority
rule comes home to plague its most
devoted adherents, Next to Senator
Smoot i'll point of seniority is Sem
ator Robert NJ. La Toilette, Wiscon-

An equally disconcerting pros
pect to the old guard rises i'll con-

tor Lodge, Massachusetts, repubh-
can leader in the senate. is chairman
and Senator McCumbcr is second in
command. Senator Borah, Idaho,

into the craftsmanship of the foreign
relations committee.
Another possibility growing out of
the elimination OF "old timers" and
the orcration OF the seniority rule is
