MUSICIAN SEEKS
 AMERICAN GENIUS
Alfred Hertz Believes Time at
 Hand for New Messiah

San Francisco. Jan. 1.-The tim, is al hand for q new messiah Of mu- sic and perhaps he will arise il America, in the opinion Of Alfred Hertz, conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, formerly di- rector of Wagnerian opera in New York and a musician of international repute.
 There are today many composers who are almost eeniuses," Mir. Hertz told the Associated Press. But Rich ard Strauss is the most recent to he accorded universally the name of ge- nius. The new messiah will come; we are ready for him
 Every now and then there appears on San Francisco symphony pro gram, tucked in between widely known compositions Of the classical or modern school, some number bear ing the notation. Played for tho first time" The composer perhaps is a San Franciscan who has been brought to Mir, Hertzs attention: at any rate he usually is an American of the younger generation, a student or 2 teacher who is becoming artiCulate. This is the conductors way of en- eouraging native composition where it seems 10 him feasible for prosen- tation on s symphony program. I.o- cal artists also occasionally are given their chance to appear as soloists.
 Mir. Hertz constantly is reading 
 day he will uncover a gleam Of great ness, The new genius is as likely 10 be produced in this country as anywhere" he says. In the anal gamation of artistic influences from everywhere. the native composer can profit by all the trends of the Old World"
 The conductor would not venture a prediction on the tyne Of work such genius would present, whether it would be ultra-modernistic or re- action to the classics. Mir. Hertz agreed that modern music was SO di- verse, moving in so many directions that its tendencies could not be sum med up in a phrase. Being catholic in his musical taste, he is no oppo- nent Of modernism, save in its most extreme forms. and his programs oft en arc divided between numbers by brilliant members of the new schools and the symphonies Of Mozart Beethoven, Brahms. Schubert, Schu- mann and Tschaikowski.
 Despite intensified oommerciaism of America, the hectic pace Of life and tho din Of traffic. many eompo- sitions by Americans are "calm and idealistic." said Mr Hertz. America is providing the musical centers of today" he added.
 Referring 10 his recent trip to Flu rope, Mir. Hertz explained that the economic chaos Of the old musical capitals Of Berlin and Vienna had impaired the concerts to 4 pitiable degree. He found that musicians did no; even have time to rehearse. since lucy must hold down half dozen different jobs 10 oke out an existence.
 ''rhey arc coming to America 10 stay Musical appreciation here has Increased remarkably in recent years"

Hawaiian Is Wealthy After An Absence of 30 Years

Honolulu, Jan. 11.--A story of riches made in Alaska during an ab- sence of nearly 80 years was revealed recently when Thomas Emslie re- turned to live the remainder of his life in the city of his birth and enjoy his fortune Of s200,00o. He brought with him his Eskimo wife and three children.
 Emsle lett Hawaii on a whaling ship in 1895 and was penniless. He remained aboard the vessel three years, during which he had learned much about navigation and the fish ing and fur business. His next venture was 10 purchase schooner with borrowed money and his success enabled him to purchase larger boats from time to time.
 As his prosperity continued he de- Cided to remain permanently in Alaska, but recently he had an at tack of Island fever" longing to return 10 the place Of his birth and, with his family, came to Hawaii. He plans to build d home and live life of ease.

 The museum which contains hun drcds of thousands of dolls and little men and women of most of the na- lions of the earth. is said to contain the largest collection of toys and novelties ever assembled under one roof. Everything in the toy line which has been manufactured by the sonneberg toy industry from its very beginning. has been collected here for the benefit chiefly of foreign buyers. Every boy. and most Of the girls, Of Germany, have heard of santa Claus toy shop here but few have ever been admitted. Children are barred. unless accompanied by their parents,

PLAN TO TURN EXTINCT
 CRATER INTO STADIUM
HonolGiu Will Have Huge Athletic structure if Officer in National
 Guard Has His Way

Honolulu, Jan. 11.-punchbowl, the
 large extinct cratcr of one of the vol
 canoes that formed the island Of Oahu
 and which once was used as q hill ot sacrifice by the Hawaiian people. will
 become on" of the largest athletic
 stadiums in the world if the plans of
 Major William Hoopai. athletic officer of the Hawaiian National Guard. are Consummated
 The stadium would be almost in the center of the city and would have a seating capa city Of 95.OQV, as large as the present population of the city. Prison laborers have started clearing l<iawe and other brush from the sides Of the crater and inside the bowl. lm- provements also have been started to the one road leading 10 the top of the crater and efforts vii he made 10 ob- tain municipal cooperation for the construction Of another road.
 punchbowl, which towers 500 feet above sen level. forms perfect am phitheater and, in the opinion of Ma ior Hoopai. could be transformed into a modern stadium at small cost. Ii is now owned by the government and is used as rifle range for the National Guard of Hawaii. Its peaks is the scene of the annual Easter sunrise service, which is held before a giant cross.
 The last human sacrifice believed to have taken place oil Punchbowl is shrouded in mystery. but tradition says that King Kamehameha ". a heavy thinker struck his only child during drinking bout, The child re- ccived injuries which caused his death. kamchameha planned an ex- piation Of his crime. A decree was is sued ordering all inhabitants of Hon. olnlu to remain inside their houses that night. What transpired is un- known, but tradition continues that a fire burned that night on the high rock where the sscrificial pit was sit uated. A heavy smoke fell and waver- ed around il, according to the stories Of persons who disobeyed the kings order and watched the fire from afar. An old Hawaiian, questioned regard ing this incident, said that nobody was known to have been missing in Homo lulu after this evening. but that any drunken sailor might have disappear ed easily in the darkness and that such q man never would be missed. In 1909 a chief who'was captured as an enemy of Eamchnmeha the Great was known 10 have been burned at the stake on punchbhwl.
 The crater rim measures i,93o feet across from east to west and l,7n0 feet across from north to south. The slope from the rim to the bottom Of the crater Is estimated at approNi- mately l degrees The floor of the bowl Is about 20o feet below the rim.

Hamburg. Jan. 1.-The chief of a | band of drug smugglers and 60 of his corfederates were arrested here re- gently and officials estimate that in the last year or so drugs chemicals and. other pharmaceutical products worth 12,000000 have been taken cut of Germany illegally
 The smugglers. posing as fisher- men, had their own sail boats as well as motor launches, and piled about the coasts. Most of the drugs in this way were landed in Holland. later being "retailed," and then shipped to America, England. France. or wher- ever the prices appeared to be the highest.
 Customs officials assert that several go-betweens who have turned state evidence claim that they were able to get 20 10 30 per cent more for their contrahand goods whenever represen- tatives of American customers were in the market, whether in Antwerp, Amsterdam or Hamburg.

vance will tend to obscure the facts.
Mr.. Brewer resorts too irrelevance,
and where neither distortion, omis-
sion, misstatement nor irreleVance
will serve his purpose, Mr.. Brewer
resorts to inSinuation and innuendo
Before concluding, l am taking
this opportunity to assure you that
most exhaustive investigation
clearly establishes Mr.. Brewers S
charges to be absolutely without
foundation.
There has been no fraudulent du-
plication or overissue of the public
debt, but. on the other hand: by in
vestig eating the Brewer charges and
establishing the utter falsity thereof,
the Treasury is enabled unreservedly
to confirm the integrity both of the
governments obligations and of those
branches of the Treasury service
which have been engaged in the han
ding of public debt securities"
No Trace of Fraud.
Mr.. Mellon assured the President
there had been mo fraud or care
lessneSS on the part of officials or
employees responsible for the safe
guarding of the retired securities"
He said Brewer had called attention
to losses during a period of seven
years." and added that the total of
these was S13,100 "and were the re-
suit of thefts committed by subordi-
nate clerks or messengers IN the
Treasury"
"It was been pointed out" the let
ter continued, that the loss of S13,-
100 over a period of seven years. dur
ing which time over 100000, ,000,0 900
in securities were handled by thou
sands of employees, is by no means a
reflection upon the officials or EN-
ployes of the Treasury responsible;
for the safeguarding of retired Sc
curities nor upon the TreaSury's sys-
TEN OF controls and audits. Incl
dentally, the thefts of securities illus
trate the danger of retaining indefi-
nitely, and not destroying the dor
mant stocks of retired securities"
There have been instances of
duplicate serial numbers on liberty
bonds" the report said, but no evil
dence, whatever, has been found of
any duplicate issues or fraudulent
overissues of liberty bonds or other
government securities, and there is
absolutely nothing to support the
charge that there has been con-
spiracy to defraud the United States" "
The report said that President
Harding personally informed Brewer
once that he was wrong" in making
the charge that some of the bonds he
had uncovered were numbered by stem
Gil rather than by the bureau number
ing machines.
s..The President took 1.-The bonds

said, with the statement that as a
printer he would examine them, and
after carefully going over them turned
with the statement, Brewer, you're
wrong, these numbers were not put on
with stencil. ''
