of self-government under free insti-

the oppressed of other lands. The
great influence which the mere exist
ence of American institutions exercised
upon the rest OF the world would be
difficult to overestimate. At the end
of a long period of steady accomplish
ments of this nature came the war
with Spain, which left our country a
world power with world responsiniii-

ARMY ORCHESTRA
EXCELS IN CONCERT
Performance Places Players in
High Rank Among Artists to
= Appear Here.

The Army Band Orchestra, under the
direction OF William j. Stannard. gave
a concert last night in the caucus room
these musicians among the finest heard
here this season. They were assisted
ty Carolyn Boardmand Mcdonnell, So
prano, and Elizabeth Winston. pianist.
The orchestra shows a rare enthusi-
asm and earnestness that tells splen-
didly in its work. Mr.. Stannard has
exercised fine discrimination in his Sc
lection Of instruments and has de-
veloped an exceptionally well balanced
and f1ne-toned ensemble. His musicians
play with virility and dash that make
their work inspiring. His stringed sec
tions, in particular, are to be COM
mended.
Mr.. Stannard's program was of a
varied nature, ranging from opera to
musical comedy, opening with Wag-
ner'S "Nicbelungen" march, in which
the musicians demonstrated their abil-
ity to. interpret the classics. ,Suppe's
Morning, Noon and Night" also was
played with fine spirit.
Mrs. Mcdonnell sang a group, in
Guiding my Heart at Thy Sweet
Voice." from Saint-Saens' Samson
and Delilah": prom the Land of the
Sky-Blue Water" (Cadmar), and
Dawn" (Curran). Mrs. Mcdonnell
has a beautiful voice of exceptional
power and wide range. Her singing
of the Saint-Saens love song was
highly artistic. Her high notes were
perfectly placed and rang out clear
as a bell. She sang this aria in Eng
Iish, realizing that part of singers
art is to bring out the message of
the song, an end best accomplished
in the language of the audience. She
was called back at the end of the
group and, as an encore. sang Cad
mans AT Dawning."
a suite by Luigini. Ballet. Fgyp-
tien," in four movements, Allegro
non troppo. Allegretto, Andante Sos
tenuto and Andante expressive, by
the band, followed and the mystic
charm of the oriental music capti-
waited the audience.
Miss Winston then played two piano
selections, concert paraphrase Of the
Blue Danube Waltzes," by Schultz
Evler, and "Etude de Concert" of
Sternberg. Miss Winston has a mar
velous technique, and plays at an un-
usual tempo. Her fingers fairly
dashed over the keyboard in intricate
runs, arpeggios. chromatics and trills,
but their smooth flow is unbroken by
the slightest faltering.

tra), by the orchestra, and "Etude' in

ences, in which. he declared, arbi-
trary changes in allowances were
made, without reference to field
agents who knew the cases. In
he admitted that he had no knowl-
edge of any specific case in which
there was graft" in connection with
these conferences.
Adams assailed bitterly the policy
under which he and other engineers
fit men had been retained and that
the only qualification necessary for
retention was the ability to give
liberal allowances to the proper tax
payers"
Now Out of Bureau.
He testified that Thwing was now
out of the bureau, practIcing as a
tax expert" and that William T.
Jennings, former assistant chief of
section, who, he said, was concerned
in the "Secret" conferences and re-
moval of men who did not comply
with the will of the confereeS on
allowances, had been dismissed 'for
perjury in connection with a civil
service application"
During the examination of Moore, the
witness read from copies of official re-
ports on the cases he cited. Deputy
Commissioner Nash of the revenue bu-
reau, who was present, challenged his
right under the law to have possession
of this confidential information from
the bureau. Moore refused to state
whether he had other documents Of
the same kind in his possession.
The committee also heard from A. J.
Bradley, a bureau auditor, who de-
clared that while he was not afraid to
testify. he ''might lose my job if he
brought out matters detrimental to his
chiefs. Bradley was asked if he had
been threatened with dismissal, and
was finally pinned down by Senator
Watson to statement that his imme-
diate chief had t'suggested'' the neces-
sity OF guarding his statements, but
the witness could not quote what had
been said to give him that impression.
1t was developed that he had kicked
like forty steers over his failure to
get promotion or pay increase in the
bureau.
The hearing went over untn Monday.
