Warfare Renewed
Vigilants Revived
to Cope With
Bandits

ST. PAUL, Oct. 28.-The days
of the vigilantes who made
quick work of horse thieves in
the adventurous days of the
Northwest are being revived.
Bank and store bandits are
the object of the new organi-
cation. A wave of bank rob-
berries, following a quiet late
summer, has called the vigi-
lantes to action before snow
halts the bandit activities by
making escape in automobiles
difficult.
In North Dakota, where one
of the boIdest gang of bank
robbers in the Northwest was
broken up after sheriffs had
organized citizens and volun-
teer night guards hadn takess
their posts in many small towns,
the vigilante system is de-
clared a real success.

PIANIST To
BOYCOTT I
DIG.
Jan Ignace Paderewski viii
Not Play to Diplomats at
Paid Virtuoso

Never again will the adoring
ladies flutter around the stage
door Of a Washington theater to
greet Jan Ignace Paderewski, to
pelt him with flowers, or to kiss
him, boldly, admiringly.
Never again will the wizard of
the piano bow to presidents, cabi-
net ministers and diplomats on
their home grounds here.
He will play in Hagerstown,
Baltimore - anywhere. But in
Washington Never again! And
why?
Hinges OH POcmcs
1t is a strange story of artistic
-sensibilities and politics, of tenn
peramental diversions, piano keys,
and partnerships.
When Paderewski went back to
his Polish homeland as the clouds
Of the World War began to settIe
over a rumbling world. he cast
aside his sensational career as
musician to assume the mantle of
premier.
All over the world flashed the
news that the great Paderewsld
would not touch a piano again un-
til Poland was free. In his capa-
city as premier, he treated with
the rulers Of the world, including
many who now grace the diplo-
matte colony Of Washington.
Returned to Concert
Now the Polish eagle screams.
triumphant from her eyrie, and
everybody's happy. Paderewski has
ilmbered up his fingers and has
returned to the music world.
Just two years ago, under the
management of Mrs. Wilson
Greene. he made a Southern tour
Of the United States.
Washington? asked Mrs. Will
son. Greene.
mo" said the artist. and that
was all.
For two years nobody knew just
why he wouldn't play in Washing
ton. Before the war, his recitals
here were we'll attended and he
mad expressed no dislike for the
city or his audiences.
But now again he Is preparing
to fare on another Southern tour,
and again he has thwarted the
wishes of Washington music
On November 20, he is to play
in Baltimore, and later he will APP
pear in Hagerstown. Then he will
go South to Richmond, Roanoke
and other cities.
Delicate Point Involved
After roundabout questioning of
everybody who had anything to
do with the tour, 1t was learned
| that Paderewski does not want to
appear, as a paid artist, before the
distinguished gentlemen to whom
he has been, since the war, solely
an important figure in international
politics. 1t is a fine point of deli
cacy, and that's why the pianist
has kept the secret so closely.
That also is why Mrs. Wilson
Greene is preparing to use a motor
bus to transport Washington music
lovers to Baltimore on the night
of the concert.
So far as is known. PadereWski
is the only great pianist who has
declined to appear in Washington.
There are a few who either have
been frightened by the lying bug
aboos of cold audiences here, or
have preferred New York to any
other place on earth and conse'

LOSES
POST
SummeraII, Challenged. A.
Result Of Old Feud, Makes /
Way for Howe

Colonel BILLY" Mitchell. the
sefnny petrol Of the army air
service, started off his court
marital on charges Of conduct pre-
judicial to discipline, in accusing
aviation heads of criminal negli-
gence, with three victories.
On the ground that two of the
generals sitting as his judges were
prejudiced against him, personally
and officially, he successfully chal-
lenged their right to sit in judg-
ment upon him, and they retired.
One of them was Major General
Charles Summerall, the presiding
officer of the court; the other was
Brigadier General Albert Bowley.
House Presiding Officer
Bowley went first. after some con-
suItation@among the generals COM
prising the court. Then Frank s.
Reid. civilian counsel for Mitchell.
challenged SummeralI.
A few minutes later Mitchell ran
his string Of tactical victories to
three by peremptorily challenging
the availability Of Brigadfer General
Fred w. Sladen. commandant at
West Point, to sit, and Sladen was
dismissed without further ado.
The retirement Of General Sum-
neral made Major General Robert
L. Howe the presiding officer OF
the court.
Reid read a portion of the speech
in which Bowley criticized Mitchell
for his advocation Of separate air
service. and added:
1T is impossible for General Bow
ley to hold these views and to say
he can sit here as a member Of this
court without bias and hostility
General Bowley Immediately arose
and admitted having made the
speech referred to by Reid.
Cites SummeraIl's Speech
1T am sure, however. that I can
sit on this court without prejudice
or bias to the defendant" he added.
THE challenged member is ex-
clsed from the court" said Sum-
neral, the president Of the court.
Reid then arose and created the
other sensation by challenging Gen.
eral Summerall himself.
Reid declared Summeran had
shown prejudice in a speech made
TO the military order of the world
war at a session in New York city
on September "a.
In this speech, Reid said, Sum-
neral had charged Mitchell was
guilty of irresponsible talk" in
the latter's criticism of the han
ding of military aviation.
THE statement by General Sum-
neral shows prejudice and bias"
said Reid, land I challenge his
right to sit as a member OF this
court"
Charges Personal Prejudice
Reid challenged Summeral for
personal prejudice" ut MitchelIs
own direction.
This prejudice. Reid continued,
was due to a report Mitchell lad
made while Assistant Chief of the
Army Air Service, condemniug
Sun1merall's handling of aviation
while in command of the Hawaiian
department. In his report. Mitchell
said Summerall knew nothing OF
aviation"
Summerall Immediately arose, adj
mitted he had criticised Mitchell
and asked to be excused from the
court.
The defense moves were made
shortly after the court had con- !.
vened.
Until the challenge against Gen.
eral Bowley was launched the
crowd of civilians present had be-
come bored with the slow, teen
nical procedure.
