WOMAN IS FREED IN FORGERY CHARGE Former Secretary to House Member Acquitted.in Trial Here. Mrs. Margaret B. Buchanan, former Bocretary for Samuel A. Kendall, Representative from Pennsylvania, ‘was acquitted last night by a jury n Criminal Division 1 before Justice Hoehling of a charge of forgery in connection with the altering of an indorsement on a check for $5,367.24 sent to Mr. Kendall by W. H. Smart, mayor of Uniontown. Pa. in pay- ment of surplus war material. The Jury deliberated less than a half hour. Mrs. Buchanan still faces another indictment, trial of which is sched- uled for February 24. This relates to &lleged indorsement of a chegk of the Veterans' Bureau in connect¥on with & widow's claim. Attorneys Lugien H. Vandoren and Richard E. Wellford represented Mrs. Buchanan, while the prosecution was conducted by Assistant United States Attorney Burnett. Mrs. Buchanan, under cross-exami- Assistant United States At- Burnett, denied that she used 'roceeds of the Kendall check for her iudividual purposes and declared it went to the Government in settle- ment for material and for office and other expenses. Checks Are Identified. The defen: closed after introduc- ing the testimony of Antonio Bufano of Connellsville, Pa., who identified & number of checks drawn by him to the order of Mrs. Buchanan for Army material. The witness said that Ken- dall had instructed him to make the checks payable to the accused. In rebuttal the Government called Representative Kendall, who donied certain statements made by . Mrs. Buchanan in her testimony and especially the statemggt that he knew about the purchase of $100,000 worth ©of shoes from th Huntington Com- pany authorized the signing of £ guarantee in connection with fit. Mr. Kendall presented a carbon. copy of a letter addressed to m from his former secretary in which she stated that the guarantee had been igned in the absence of Kendall from Washington and without his nsent. On the stand Mrs. Buchanan had de- clared the purchase was discussed with Kendall and he told her to do whatever she thought right in the matter, and she signed the guarantee. Mr. Kendall, when testifying for the prosecution, had stated he knew uothing of the transaction until a lawyer for the shoe company threat- ened suit to collect a balance of $35,000. re- — Cdlored Man Robbed of $47.

Walter Damrosch led the New York Symphony Orchestra. assisted by a Eroup of soloists from New York and members of local choral societies, in an_ambitious attempt to perform the dificult “Ninth Symphony” of Ludwig van Beethoven before a sympathetic capacity audfence at Poli’s theater fternoon . the second performance of this work in Wash- ington, the first being a presentation directed by Helnrich Hammer in 1910. Washington should, be proud that its choral organizations attempted this work, which is among the most difficult ever written for choruses. The Washington Choral Society, The Rubenstein Club, the Church of the Covenant Choir, and the Interstate Male Chorus, combined forces of more than a hundred singers to be wedged in all around the orchestra to sing the inspiring strains of the finale. Undoubtedly, if the chorus could have been massed on the stage fac- ing the audience and above the or- chestra, the effect would have been superior to that obtained. Consider- ing the many obstacles, however, the choral work was remarkable. There were precision of attack, energy in interpretation and good volume. The enunciadion probably would have carried better had the singers been able to sing directly into the audi- torium. New Yorkers Are Sololsts. The soloists were Ruth Rodgers, soprano; Helena Marsh, contralto: Charles Stratton, tenor, and Fraser Gordon, baritone, all of New York. The orchestra might have been & different group from that which gave the beautiful’ program at Central High School Monday night. There was coldness andglack of unity in giving a_concerted" idea of the varied moods of this work. The first move- ment wAs given with promising color; the second movement was de- Hghtful; the third movement, which, “is the most sublime of adagios.” became al- most drab and monotonous; the finale rose again to colorful heights and gave the singers a fitting setting. The short explanatory remarks by Mr. Damrosch preceding the concert were filled with {interesting detail about the ideas of the composer and the interpretation of the “Ninth Sym- phony” by .early organizations. “Richard Wagner was the first to give this work complete understand- ing in interpretation,” according to Mr. Damrosch, who in this perform- ance made his last appearance here personally this season. He is to be congratulated on the fine result of his hard work in the few possible rehearsals with the chorus for this presentation.

More than $300,000, or $50,000 above the goal. was pledged. The seminary is controlled by South- ern Presbyterian synods in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina, and Presbyterian leadérs here said the Louisiana synod probably would join those in the five other States al- ready interested in the seminary.

BY WILLIAM R. GILES. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New: PEKING, February 18.—During an investigaticn of the treasures stored in the forbidden city palaces, amaz- ing Information came to light with regard to Feng Yu-Hslang's coup of October 23. Amongst this was sug- gestive correspondence from high digintarles of the republic, who promised loyalty, obedience and sub- mission to their soverelgn and master, at the same time assuring him of their aid. These papers came to light three months after the ejection of the former emperor from the palace. There were also documents signed by Hsu Chi-Chang, afirming his loyaity to empire and emperor at the time he was president. Also a roll was dis- covered of the most unctuous gen: erals, who had been decorated with the imperial dragon, and this was traced to the former viceroy of Manchuria, Chao Crh-Hsun, who sub- sequently was elected chairman of the reorganization conference. Immediately Feng Yu-Hsiang be- came aware of this great plot to re- store the monarchy, he shut up Pres- ident Tsao Kun in the palace and in- vitdd the boy emperor to retire eventually, working rapidly to bripg off_his, coup d'etat. The boy emperor's petition to the present government to be allowed to settle in Manchuria and take a_trip abroad is viewed suspiciously. It is believed that there are strong under- currents at work to restore the monarchy in Manchuria, with the help of Chang Tso-Lin, who is kilown to be favorably incliféd toward the boy emperor. Chang Tso-Lin was very angry with Feng Yu-Hslang for his ejection of the imperial house- hold without advising Chang Tso Lin. Chang Tso-Lin and Fen YuHis- ang are watching each other’s move- ments, and reliable sources believe it is impossible to prevent an out- break of hostilities between these two in the near future.
