THE EVENING ASKS JYEARTERM Sings at Navy Band Concert To Glory of Marine Corps FOR LEUT. GRIFF| Prosecutor Urges Lighter Sentences for Others in At- tempt to Kidnap Bergdoll. By the Assoclated Press. . MOSBACH, Baden, December 7.—A sentence of three years for Corliss Hooven Griffis of, Hamilton, Ohio, was recommendéd today by State's Attorney Nebel for the attempt to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, American draft evader. Nebel also urged three years for Karl Eperber of Paris, one year for the Russian Prince Faust Gagarin and six months for Eugene Victor Nelson of Chicago. Berzdoll's counsel contended these terms were insufficient punishment and asked the court for heavier sentences, especially for Griffis and Nelson. Nebel contended that the United States government was largely resvon- sible for the attempts to remove Bere- doll il'eally. * He expressed the opin- fon that it would be wise if the Amei cans, in the interest of peace. aban- Wife of Gen. Feland Praised by Roosevelt. Soloist Features En- tertainment Car- ried by Radio. Mrs. Logan Feland “covered the Ma- rine Corps with glory” as sololst with the United States Navy Band at the concert given last night at the Memo- rial Continental Hall. The first half of a long program was played by the or- chestra, the second by the full band. 1t was during the orchestral pro- gram that the wife of Brig. Gen. Feland of the Marine Corps sang “Some Day He'll Come,” the beautiful but difficult arla from Puccinl’s “Madam Butterfl The way In which Mrs. Feland sang the number thrilled not only the large audience which crowded the hall, but also the hundreds of thousands in the “invisible audlence” which listened in throughout the United States, the pro- he radio bréadcasting station of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company.

Parts of Double Program. Her singing came as part of an in- teresting double program, upon the fifth anniversary of the band, the first half of the evening being devoted to numbers by the band orchestra, the second to numbers by the band in- struments, both being led throughout by Charles Benter, conductof of the Navy Band. . An Interesting Interlude came when Secretary Roosevelt presented '& United States flag to the band on be- half of Henry Lansburgh, in memory of “our old chief and friend, Warren G. Hardipg.” Mr. Roosevelt said that the kindncss apd gentleness of the late President was a continual source of inspiration to all who knew him. The assistant secretary of the Navy in complimenting the Navy Band and its conductor upon their abllity spoke of the fact that the band had accom- panied President Harding to Alaska and had played “The Lure of Alaska,’ a number composed by Mr. Bentei This number was played as the con- clusion of the orchestral half of -the rogram. Pl Phe somber “Finlandia,” by Sibeltus, opened the program, 'after which Beothoven's beautiful “Minuet in was played as an encore. The en- cores were stated on the program and were religiously adhered to, on account of the length of the program. Other Orchestra Numbers. Other numbers by the were the finale from Tschalkowsky's “Symphony in F Minor,” “Love orchestra !

Sant Ambrogio gave a violin _sol “Meditation,” from Massenet’s “Thals. Mrs. Feland, whose clear, full tones are being heralded today as among the best ever heard over radio, sang au_encope Porot's sprightly “Sidi Brahim.” The second falf of the program, by the full band, opened with “Rem iniscericés of ' the Plantation,” by |Chambers, after which Mr. Benter's £ood march, “Call Me Henry,” was played as an encare. Bandmaster G. De Glorglo, U. §. N., gave a cornet #olo, “Inflammatusy’ from Rossini’'s ‘Stabat Mater,” amd played “O Sole Mio” as an encore. Chabrier's rhapsodle, “Espana,” was perhaps the best number given by the band. its wenderfu! musical Inventions being brought out to the! full by the player: Yiduald and ensemb 4 Saint-Saens. Sousa’s “Stars = and Stripes Forever” and “The Star Spangled Banner" concluded a pro- gram whose only fault was that it was too long. ! DENTAL SOCIETY ELECTS.

Testifying in his own behalf, Liecut. G-iffis asserted that he was the prime mover in the plot to capture and take Bergdoll back to the United States. 'The American Leglon had no knowl- edgo of the attempt, but numerous 4merican officers in Parls were aware of it. Grifis was called as the first wit- mess because, in accordance with Ger- man procedure, the defense always presents its evidence before the prosecutor introduces his. In the course of his testimony Griffis ex- plained that the American draft tem was by number, and he said the mman who had taken Bergdoll's num- er was killed. This explanation interested the court. Presiding Judge Kurzmann frequently had asked questions, and one of these was whether the man who actually replaced Bergdoll in the Army had met death. Patriotism Only Motive. In declaring that he had worked for purely patriotic motives, Griffis as- serted that he had expected no re- ward from thé capture of the draft evader. A report that ke Stecher, formerly ot Philadelphia, who acted as Berg- doll's chauffeur when Bergdoll fled the United States, would kidnap Grif- fls reached the court today through the attorney for Griffis.
