The Colorado statesman., 1922-03-25

A fairly good-sized audience gath
cred at Mother A. NJ. E. Zion Church
on Monday evening, March 18th, when
the Dunbar Dramatic Club presented
Jessie Andrews Zackery, soprano; J..
Mardo Brown, tenor, and Edwin
Coates, pianist, in an interesting pro-
gram.
Main interest centered in hearing
Mrs. Zackery, who came from the far
West some time ago to pursue her
voice studies under one of New York's
most important vocal instructors. She
had made two previous appearances,
1 am told, but neither was under very
auspicious circumstances. In Monday
nights recital she disclosed talent of
a high order. She is in possession of
q voice of velvety SmoothEess and
unctuous tone which is not detracted
from to any extent by a slight ten
dency, at times, to hardness.
This ample native talent has been
enhanced and developed by evident
conscientious study and sane idea OF
what was necessary, with an intelli-
gent conception of its possibilities.
The result is an organ of great beauty,
equally at home in interpreting songs
with strong dramatic elements or in
illustrating coloratura music. In the
latter class was her final number,
Proch's Air and Variations, compost
ton favored greatly by Tetrazzini and
CALI Curci. 1 don't know when I've
heard one of our race singers whose
singing had so much of the braVur'l
quality in her combination with ac-
curate pitch and depth of color.
Mr.. Brown sang several groups with
a more pleasing sense of interpreta-
ton than of tonal quality. There was
a lack of sweetness of tone not COM
pensated for by admirable technique
and intellectual understanding. Anoth-
er hearing of this singer is necessary
before placing final estimate upon
his ability.
The playing of Mr.. Coates contained
all of his usual technical skill, but
he did not seem to be greatly inter-
ested in his task, playing with an uh-
usuoI perfunctoriness for so excellent
an artist. The accompaniments 1or
M. Brown were played by l.. f. Dyer
with James Walker at the piano Tor

FIRST MEDAL
 OF HONOR IS
 GIVEN YERDUN

VERDUN, June 5-For the first time in the history of the United States, the American government has decorated with the Medal of Honor, a foreign community. No city in the United States has been so honored The reward of valor was yesterday bestowed upon the city of Verdun for the heroic stand made here by the French army against the forces of the Crown prince, of Germany in 1915, when the latter used the entire strength batter down the French resistance and reach Paris. Had he been suc- cessful, the war would have been over and Germany victorious. The French soldiers adopted the motto, "Ne passeront pas", and died in their tracks, but stemmed the Ger man horde. In presenting the medal on behalf of the United States, the American Ambassador, Myron T. Herrick, in the presence of the high est military and civil officials of France, eulogized the stubborn bravery of the French soldiers, who sacrificed their lives so nobly in the cause of their fatherland. The Am bassador said "In the name of the American congress and the Ameri- can people, I present this decoration to the City of Verdun, thus distin- gushing your immortal city. as be-, only medal ever given by the gov- ernment to any community in the world"

MUCH INTEREST IN PRIMARIES
 HELD TODAY

DIES MONIES, June 5. The pri- maries for the fall elections to fill both state and national offices are being held in Iowa today. The chief inter- est in the balloting centers largely in the six cornered race for the Re- publican nomination to the United States senatorship. The present va cancy in the Upper House of Congress was caused by the resignation of for mer Senator Kenyon, who accepted an appointment on the Federal bench from President Harding. Kenyon had been the leader of the Agricultural Bloc while in the Senate and political observers intimated that his appoint ment to the bench was to partially weaken the combination. His success sor's selection is therefore of great in terest to the proponents of the Bloc The senatorial Republican candidates are Colonel Smith w. Brookhart, Chas. E. Pickett, Burton E. Sweet Clifford L, Thorne, Leslie E. Francis and Col onel Maude M. Stanley. The Wisest dopsters in the state have been loath to attempt to name the winner.

President Begs Immediate
 Passage Of Marine BiII

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The letter sent by President Harding on Satur- day to the Chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine, wherein the chief executive pressed upon Congress the urgency for imme- diate consideration and passage of the administration ship subsidy measure, has started a flood of discussion among Republican members of the Lower House.
 The leaders of the majority held an informal conference yesterday to con- slider what should be done to further the presidential request. The politi- cal effect of the measure was care fully considered, and the Republican prospects in the coming fall elections, it was thought by many, would be les sened by the adoption of the subsidy plan. The concensus of opinion was that it would in any event be impos-

SHIP SERVICE
 ALASKA RUN
 BE IMPROVED

E. T. Standard, vice president and general manager of the kennecott Copper Corporation, returned today to Seattle after an inspection of their He was accompanied by James Dean,. of New York, treasurer of the corpora ation. In the opinion of MT Stannard all indications point to improved con- ditions in business and industry in the Territory.
 While passenger traffic, has up to the present time, not been as heavy as had been expected, the volume of freight has been steadily growing and the year is expected to be better than last, he said. The company has im- proved it's steamship service consider ably in the remodeling of the Alameda and next winter will alter the North western so as to make it a much bet ter equipped vessel for both passen- gers and freight. Many of the three berth rooms will be changed into two- berth rooms The company is also contemplating the addition of new steamer to it's fleet for the long run to thewestward. MT. Stannard said there are no late developments in connection with this new vessel but that some- thing definite would probably be ready for announcement about the middle of the summer.
 One of the most important indus trial developments in the coastal-sec- tion of the Territory. said MT. Stan nard, is the increase in the herring packing trade. In single small field served by the Alaska Steamship Com pany, he said, there are eight con- cerns establishing herring packing plants. This branch of the fishing industry, he added, will furnish an in- creased tonnage this season to south bound ships.

sible to force the measure through the House before adjournment of the present session.
 Today influential Republican mem- bers called on the President and told him frankly that there was consider able opposition to the subsidy bill among the Republican members from the middle west Whether or not the Agricultural Bloc will not be used to defeat the bill is an open question. Also it is admitted that the Demo- cratic strength in the House will be cast solidly against the bill, with pos sibly a few exceptions.
 The upshot of the discussion with the President was tEst it was ex- tremely doubtful whether the bill could be put through the House until the next session is called which will not be until December, after the fall elections.

WORKERS WHO
 WENT RUSSIA
 CAN RETURN

WASHINGTON, June 5-The State Department intimated today that the United States would probably in terpose no objection or obstacles to the return to this country of those workers who went to Soviet Russia, to engage in mining and manufactur- ing industries under the auspices of William D. Haywood, the refugee I. VI w. leader, who is wanted in this scountry to serve criminal sentence, having jumped his bail bond Letters from these emigrants have been received in this country expressing their deep dissatisfaction with conditions in Russia. Capital istic United States looks like a haven of refuge to these who are enjoying the blessings of a com munistic government. The wonder full results promised to the workers by their leader have not been de- livered Their condition is far worse than what it was under the much execrated exploitation of pri- vate interests in America. In fact all of the men who went to Russia from here have become discouraged, anr they are unanimous in their desire to return.

CHANCES FORCES ARE FORCED
 TO RETREAT

PEKING, June 5-The fighting which broke out last Thursday be- tweeu the forces of General Wu Pei flu, commandant of the army of Central China, and General Chang Tso-Ling, the Manchurian leader, has resulted in general victory for Wu and his men. The battle commenced along the line of the Chinese Eastern Railway near the Hou Fong Tai station in the prov ince of Chilli, and Chang's forces have been forced to abandon their positions along the road and retreat into Manchuria The Manchurian war lord is retreating in good order, preserving the integrity of his force, but is being forced to fight a con- stant harassing rear guard action. Wu's forces are pressing the enemy unremittingly. The victorious leader has a force of sixty thousand ex- perienced troops, flushed with vict- ory, who have already crossed the border into the enemy's provinces, and are marching steadily to Muk- den.

AMBASSADOR OF RUSSIA CEASES BE RECOGNIZED

WASHINGTON,Jun 5-Boris Bakh- meteff, who has been occupying the official Russian ambassadorial resi- dence, and acting as Russian am- bassador in this city, since the rise of the short-lived Kerensky regime in the old empire of the Czar, has been notified by the State Depart ment that his credentials as ambas- sador will not be recognized by the United States after the end of the present month. The status of the Russian has been a continued sub ject of controversy since the col lapse of the Kerensky government in 1917. Of late the principal attack CT of the Russians position has been Senator Borah of Idaho, who has been mainly responsible for the forcing of the present action of the State Department. Borah charged Bakhmeteff with the diversion of certain loans made to Russia by this country. Whether the present ac- tion presages a preliminary step to- wards recognition of the Soviet gov ernment is doubtful, but it at least clears the way for the eventual bringing about of that result.

WASHINGTON, June 5-The con- bined forces of all the government agencies in Alaska will be set to work this summer to stop the prac- tice of fish pirating which has been an increasing menace to the per- manency of the fish industry in Southeastern Alaska. Many fish traps have been held up by armed men and their contents confiscated in the past. Conditions at one time became so serious that trap watch men were armed and given instruc- tions to defend the fish at all haz- ards.
 This year strenuous efforts are to be made to stamp out the out laws. Preliminary reports received intimate that raids on the traps and cannery tenders are being planned by a gang of fish pirates operating extensively throughout all the can- nery area in the tail of Alaska. The Department of Justice today an- nounced that it had declared open and unrelentless war against the pirates and outlaws. The statement issued declared "Vigorous warfare will be waged this coming summer on those whose depredations since the year 1919 have worked serious injury to the Pacific Fisheries. Three of the government departments, the Treasury, the Department of Con- merce, and the Department of Just ice, will work together in stamping out the evil and pernicious practice
