Mes ctime a new reserva- tion, attempting to restrict the mean- ing of the word “rights” as used in defining the obligations of the four- powers under the treaty, was offered in the committee by Senator Johnson, Republican, California. over without action. Some committee members predicted that the Johnson proposal was only the fore-runner of’ a series of reserva- tionson yarious subjects which might be brought before the committee if aprroval of the Brandegee blanket qualification fafled. As a result, senators on the commit tee agreed that prospects of quick ac- tion on the treaty were fading.

The concert @ill be the first one presenting a worid renown artist which has been brought to Casper for nearly three years and an en- thusiastic reception is promised the master pianist. The members of the clubs who were present at the meeting last night will present the subject before the next regular club meeting and the evening of music will be held under the auspices of the woman's clubs with the assist- ance of Mr, Richter. The clubs will also assist in the sale of the tickets, which will be the regular concert price, with no addi- tional charge on account of the dis- tance from Denver to Casper for a one night appearance. The price was set after an investigation through the trades journal showing the charges of similar concerts in the eastern cities including New ‘York and Chicago. An active interest in the concert is be®ng shown by all music lovers of the city, and the success of a music promotion bureau which will enable Caspr to hear the greatest of artists, will be the result of the suc- cess of tho first concert. It is also possible that a suitable place to hold concerts and such entertain’. ments will be the outcome of the musical venture. The program for the ¢¥ening of March 1, will include many num- bers from Chopin, of which Godow- sky is a noted interpreter. Mr. Godowsky, in speaking of the Mikuli edition of Chopin at the opening session of his Kansas City Master Class remarked, “that no one misrepresented the teacher so much as the pupil.” Thus it ts with @ great sense of diffidence that I as- sume the role of scribe in recording the teaching of this master of mas- ter pianists, knowing full well how difficult it is to give an adequate description of his matchless art. 1 gave endeavored mainly to give a faithful and simple pen picture of the man and his work rther than a detailed nalysis of all the compo- sitions that were studied — a task manifestly impossible without the printed music. Mr. Godowsky has been accused of being merely a great technician, which is amusing to those who at all understand his genius. “Some critics,” said Mr. Godowsky, “think they are abusing me when they call me a technician but they don’t know that they couldn't pay me a higher compliment, for technic is something entirely different from virtuosity. It embraces everything that makes for artistic piano play- ing—pedaling, dynamics, agogics, phrasing, fingering, etc, —in a word, the art of musical expression distinct from the mechanics. I con- sider it an insult to be called a vir- tuoso. Any fool can learn the me- chanics of piano playing.” It has been said of Mr. Godow- sky that he is an unemotional play- er which is not true, though unlike so many Poles he never runs wild land distroys the music or ‘His intellect is always in the saddle and his tempo rubate is the most beautiful and poetical thing imagin- instance, wind, you will get an idea of something very different from that game flower in a violent wind.

Now, back in the penitentiary after seven years of precarious liberty, Brink apprehensively watches his fel low prisoners, dreading the hour when there shall spread among them, through the secret prison channels of news transferrence, .the story of his career during those seven years of freedom. When that story becomes, known within the prison—waj, there ts caste even among convicts, and a wretch may be regarded as beyond thé pale of even the vilest of those whom or- ganized society has outlawed. "Brink at the time of the ruthless vengeance inflicted on the shrieking, shrinking negro was something of a hero in the eyes of the “hard boiled” contingent of penitentiary inmates, for was he not doing time not mere- ly for murder, but for a spectacular triple murder. He bad come to the prison under sentence of death for participation in the “Tensleep raid” —last bloody chapter of the history of the cattlemen'’s warfare against sheepmen for possession of the pub- lic range—and in the shadow of the gallows maintained a pose of brag- gart recklessness. Saved from the noose by commutation of his sen- tence, ho was regarded with a per- verted sentiment, of admiration by lesser transgressors until, in» 1914, through further mistaken exercise of executive clemency, he was liberated on parole. One -glad welcome was awaiting Brink when he “emerged from the penitentiary, free “on honor’’—that of his devoted sister, an attractive, time to cool. vivacious girl of Dubeque, Colo. How devoid he was of conception of the meaning of “honor” was demonstrated by succeeding events. Almost immediately Brink broke pa- role, defying the alternative that, if recaptured, he could be required to serve the remaining 20 years of his commuted sentence. He fied to Brit- ish Columbia, taking his sister with him. ‘Thereafter for seven years the Wyoming authorities had no know! edge of his whereabouts. Recently a faded, haggard woman, accompanied by her three hunsry children, appealed for assistance to the authorities at Vancouver, B. C. She had been deserted, she said, the father of the children, She Brink’s sister. Bit by bic her story came out, and hardly had it been fin- ished hefore the Northwest mounted police were on the trail of Brink. With characteristic dispatch they ran him down. He was willing, even anx- jous, to return to Wyoming without the formality of extradition. 80 now he is back in the peniten- tiary here, wretchedly awaiting what the future may hold. It is not the prospect of 20 years of confinement that appalls him. A grimmer thing than that confronts him in imagination while vividly he recalls how, within these selfsame four walls, he exhorted his fellows to summary action against a beast—a grimmer possibility makes him appre-| hensively ‘watch the hard faces and cold eyes of the men about him for signs that to them has come, as in- evitably {t will come, knowledge of the shameful confession made by his sister; in her desperation, to the Canadian police, that— Her children are his offspring. “TENSLEEP RAID” PART OF RANGE WAR. The “Tensleep raid.” for participa- tion in which Brink and another, Lo- renzo Paseo, were sentenced to the gallows, and three others were sen- tenced to penitentiary terms, provided one of the last chapters ‘of the war between western cattlemen and The convicts, placing a rope sheepmen for possession of publically owned grazing lands, the savagery of the episode so arousing public sentt ment that never again in Wyoming did, cattilemen dare to organize to draw “dead lines” on the open range and by assassination to intimidate sheepmen to not cross these lines with their flocks. Such a “dead line” was establish- ed early in 1909 in the Tensleep re- ston of Big Horn county, Wyoming. Three flockmasters—Allemand, Emge and Lazier—defied the cattlemen and drove a herd.of sheep across the line into “cattle territory.” While they watched their flock by night they were attacked by an armed bend, shot to death, their bodies and their camp equipment burned and more than 1,. 000 of their sheep driven over A precipice. For weeks the identity of the murderers was a mystery, but eventually Joe LeFors, a range, de tective too courageous to be discour aged by open community hostility and threats of death if he persisted in his investigation, obtained evidence which resulted in the arrest of Brink, Passo Thonms Dixon, Milton A. Alexander and. George Saban. The latter two were prominent cattlemen; the other three their employes. Feeling was so bitter during the trials of the quin- tet at Basin that the national guard garrisoned the courthouse and pa- trolled the town, All five defendants were convicted. Verdicts of first de gree murder were returned against Brink and Passo and@*they were sen- tenced to hang. » Alexander and Saban were convicted of second degree mur- der and: sentenced to serve from 20 to 26 years. Dixon was found guilty of arson only and was sentenced to serve from three to five years. The injustice of hanging Brink and Passo, while Saban and Alexander—regard ed as the major principals in the as sassinations—were permitted to live. was so manifest that the governor commuted the sentences of Brink and Passo to life imprisonment Later Brink's punishment again was re- duced by commutation of his sentence to from 20 to 26 years. In 1914 he was parolled, and soon thereafter fled to Canada. Passo in 1912 led a re yolt by convicts at the penitentiary at Rawlins, Wyo., shot to death a citizen who attempted to prevent the escape of a dozen convicts who broke through the prison wall, and a few minutes later himself was ‘shot dead. Saban after a brief period in prison was permitted to go with a t road gang to the region where Tensleep raid occurred and prompt ly violated the camp “honor system’ by escaping, it was assumed with the connivance of friends, and last heard from in South America. ander was pardoned in 1917. served his ful time.
