WEDDERBURNS'
STR|FE: AIRED
Times staff Photo

Taking exceptions to the opinion
of Justice Siddons of the District
supreme Court. in which a motion
for a reduction Of maintenance he
has to pay Mrs. Lottie S. Wedder-
Burn is dismissed, her husband,
Alexander j. Wedderburn, today
filed a motion to set aside the order
of the court. He declares the court
to be in error on 90 points In the
opinion, which was handed down
April II.
Justice Siddons referred to the
fact that WedderEurn had filed no
less than IL motions seeking redic-
ton.
These included plans for custody
of the children, to quash attach
nlents, land to have Mrs. Wedder-
burn adjudged in contempt.
The court stated that Wedderburn
is not animated by love FOR his
children, but by a continued pur-
pose to vex and harass Mrs. We'd
derburn and perhaps to wear out
her strength and courage to nEatn-
| tain that which was awarded her
| by the final decree .
Justice Siddons warned that more
/ drastic action would be taken un-
less good faith Is shown in observ-
| ing the decree of the court.
Wedderburn declares that the
court erred in conclusions that he
was actuated by motives other than
love for his children; that further
petition by him would be grounds
for punishment and that numerous
previous litigations between the par
ties constitute a bar to further
litigation; that the children were in
jured by his petitions to the court
and that he intended to harass
his wife.
Wedderburn contends that the
findings of the court are not sup.
ported by the evidence and are
against the law.

STRING MUSIC
NPRESS|VE
BY JESSIE Mcbride


Walter r. Holt, conductor, as
well as teacher of the large groups
OF Club instrument" players that
form the Nordica Clubs, presented
three different and impressive en-
sembles last evening, at the 9th
annual concert OF the Nordica Man
dolin and Guitar Orchestra, the
Nordica Banjo Club and the Nor
dica Hawaiian Guitar and Ukulele
Club. The three clubs represented
100 players.
In the first place, these fretted
instrument clubs have the inesti-
mable privilege of being drilled by a
genuine musician. In the second
place. Mr.. Holt attempts what
would seem to be. the impossible, in
presenting real symphony music in
this mold. and does a finely artistic
thing that offends no devotee or the
symphony orchestra.
The Orchestra. of mandolins and
guitars includes the mando cello.
the mando-bass - instruments that
Npara11el the deeper voices of
string orchestra. This year the
major work was LISTS symphonic
poem, Les Preludes," with its ap-
pealing, lovely melody, its huge
dramatic development.
Naturally, the tonality does not
approach the huge symphonic mes
sage. 1t does, however, which is
the important thing, reverence and
do full justice to every phrase, to
each shade and color, bringing out
the counterpart variants, and in
dynamics and climax building 1t
is stirring thing that is always
clearly defined ensemble.
1t IS art, astonishingly good for
students, put in q form that might
be compared as a harpsichord in
relation to the grand piano. They
also gave the overture to Verdfs
Force OF Destiny"
Miss Elizabeth Stewart, soprano,
disclosed q very musical voice as
solo artist, with Burrows Williams
at the piano. Miss Annabel Bird
brought out the solo possibilities
Of. the Hawaiian guitar most effec-
lively.
The NordicaL String Quartet proved
its right to be considered a highly
artistic ensemble in the Tschaikow-
j sky Antante Cantabile," with B.
w. DeLoss, R. A. Koontz, Philip
Floria and Raymond A. Hart. Fred
J. Bacon was guest" artist in his
virtuoso banjo solos.
The banjo Club was not only
sprightly. but it played as one
person and had some fine concerted
effects, while the Hawaiian Guitar
and UkuIele Club closed the pro-
gram, proving the excellence OF
this youngest group. Alice E. Hill
and Charles A. Conrard, in man
dolin and guitar duets, substituted
for Joseph Barbecot, baritone.

PROPERTY
BILL SNAGGED

Indefinite delay in action on the
Administration bill for the return
Of alien property to German and
Austrian owners was privately de-
clared today to be one of the almost
certain results of the sensational
charges by Representative Garner
of Texas. ranking Democrat on the
House Ways and Means Committee.
In criticising Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon for sponsoring the
measure while holding an interest
in many corporations which would
directly benefit, Garner lined up
Democrats almost solidly in opposi-
ton and claimed today there were
sufficient Republicans opposed to
prevent a favorable committee re-
port.
'"The Mills BILL said Garner,
will not be favorably reported by
the Ways and Means Committee"
Representative Hawley (R) of
Oregon, chairman of the subcom-
mittee which held hearings on the
bill, also indicated action might be
delayed.
Withdrawal of Representative
Mills of New York" said Haw1ey,
from active support of the bill,
created a situation which made it
advisable for the committee to
thoroughly investigate
Mills told the House that because
he had discovered he had holdings
in corporations affected by the
legislation, he would not lead the
fight for it's adoption.

Pressure of big industrial interests

leudal chlets, the driving Of foreign
imperialist exploiters from the coun-
try, and the liberation Of the workers
and farmers from economic misery
due to continuous military feuds and
reactionary government.
The Canton nationalist government
has issued a proclamation which says.
in part:
Oppose lmperialists.
With the exception of those who
live in territory under direct control OF
the nationalist government, all people
in China are suffering terribly at the
hands of the mlitarists Farmers, la
borers, merchants are living in mis-
rable conditions. This is the direct
rssult of imperialist exploitation of
china and the high-handed rule Of the
nilitarists.
During recent years the imperial
ats (foreigners) have repeatedly shot
lown patriotic Chinese in Chinese ter
tory. They are shamelessly declar-
ng that they are helping the Picking

nationalist movement Openly they
lelp the militarists against the peo-
ole's army. They are now doing things
-hey would not dare a few years ago.
To Restore Rights.
"The influence of the imperialists in
China is rising If such a state Of
affairs be allowed to continue China
would soon be converted into colony.
would then be difficult for the people
% make any liberation movement. A
national revolution would be hopeless.
The nationalist government seeks to
restore all lost rights forcibly taken
by foreign powers.
Therefore everybody should do his
share to support the expedition.
The responsibility of the people at the
rear is more important than those
fighting on the battlefield. Farmers
must unite to drive out reactionary ele.
ments. They must do their best to
suppress banditry in their respective
districts.
All Must Unite.
"Laborers should work at topmost
capacity in turning out war materials
for the front. They should not stage
any strikes during the period of the
expedition. Strike at this hour is sui
eide. Merchants should give their un-
reserved support and must not believe
rumors spread by reactionaries. Stu
dents must make impressive propa-
