Letters to the Editor

To the Editor of the Bulletin-Appeal:
Referring to the article in your pa
per under date OF Saturday, April IL.
wish to make a correction with ref
erence to same.
II Is true that about IL O'Clock Mr..
McCanley, living next door, summon
ed officers without my knowledge or
consent, who upon arrival went di-
rectly to the home of Professor Weir
across the street. Mr. McCauley and
wife beckoned the officers and after
some conversation on the front porch
sent the officers to my back door.
They Immediately broke. down the
door. rushed in with drawn guns. and
when I demanded why they rushed
In that way and what the trouble
was, one of the officers struck me
without making any explanation.
The striking of me by the officers
naturally caused a screaming by the
women.
An arrest was made by the officers
as stated in your paper but we did
not know the reason or cause until
information was given to the effect
that the man living next door who
instigated the plan was also heard to
say to the officers, GIVE 1T TO HIM,
GEORGE" and who also instructed
the officers how to gain entrance into
my home. Summed up in a nut shell
the whole thing was calculated to
humiliate.
II there was disturbance in this
neighborhood or home, why was it
not heard by the neighbors in this
block? The officer stated in court
that upon his arrival in this block
the street was lined with people, but
investigation discloses the fact that
there was nobody on the street with
the exception of Professor Weir and
Mr.. Little, both men en- route to their
respective homes. These men saw
the officers go to Professor Weir's
home and Mr.. McCauley's home
where they received instructions to
proceed to my back door. The Nc
Cauley home and my home are but a
few feet apart. The home of Profess
sor Weir is across the street. 1t does
seem to me that il there was a dis
turbance and the street crowded as
stated by the officer that they might
have come directly to the scene of the
disturbance and not to the home of
Professor Weir and then to the. Nc
Cauley home, the latter having called
the officers to do the very thing that
was done.
Perhaps he would like to have me
move, but IL there is any moving
done, the dray will first have to back
up to his door.

MUSIC

The Louis Graveure recital held We'd
nesday evening at the Armory of the
University of Minnesota was well at
tended by lovers of classic singing. This
favorite artist was at his best, having
fully recovered from the indisposition
which caused the cancellation of an
earlier engagement. His rendition of
Schubert's "Der Wanderer" as an intro
ductory number on the program brought
out the well defined powers of this real
ly great singer. 1t demanded, more than
any other selection, qualities by which
great Interpretation must be measured.
1t is difficult song, and loses caste if
subjected to Indifferent treatment Mr..
Graveure's rendition was poetic, dra-
matte and finely narrative.
Four group songs, two, rarely sung, by
Schumann, closed with "Auf dem Was
ser zu Singer" by Schubert, were emo
tionally interpreted and creditably CIV
en-, yet the artist at times failed some
what in the fine mellow quality of his
upper register.
His French group, La Caravane,"
I'll Neige," "Nocturne" and "Vision
Fugitive" produced the most finished
singing of the artist The enunciation
was ideal, with proper emphasis to sup
ply the subtle meaning of each word.
The program closed with songs by
Haendel, Richardson, Arnold and Col
eridge Taylor's the Rainbow Child"
which was finely sung.
Emo Balogh, an accomplished musi-
clan, was the accompanist, and contribut-
ed much to the success of the entertain
ment
