4 % LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS ARMY BAND 21 American Nations Repre- sented at First Concert Since Return Home. More than 1000 music lovers, includ- | ing 48 members of the diplomatic corps with Ambassador de Martino of Italy ! leading the list, and many distinguish- ed Americans who have not yet left the National Capital for the Summer, last night gathered in the Aztec Garden of the Pan-American Union and listened to the first program given here since the United States Army Band returned from its brilliantly successful visit to | Spain. The music was of the lighter | types of Latin American composition and all 21 American nations were repre- | sented during the concert. Capt. W. | J. Stannard led the band. | There were three soloists last night. | Diana Martinez Milicua, a Mexican so- prano, made her local debut in two groups of songs, accompanied by Eliza- beth Gardner Coombs of Washington at the piano. Senorita Milicua was particularly successful in two songs by her countrywoman, Maria Crever, “Jurame” and “Andalucia,” the latter being her encore. The singer won most applause for her artistic presentation of the familiar air, “Thou Beautiful Bird” from David’s opera “The Pearl of Brazil,” in which she was accom- panied by Harry Wagner at the piano and Alexandria” Lutkiewitz, flutist. Mme. Gainsborg Plays. ‘Mme, Lolita Cabrera Gainsborg, pianist, of Bolivian ancestry, has been heard here before. She has an especial- ly lovely touch and fine sense of in-| terpretation. She also showed ability as a composer. She played three of her 'own works. Of them the tango, “Dime Chiquita” was unusually interesting and showed marked originality. Mme. Gainsborg also played the one United States composer's composition, “Pola- naise in E Minor,” by Edward Mac- Dowell. The two marimba solos played by Master Sergt. John Bauman showed a decided gain in artistry ‘in his inter- pretation and & piquant charm of ballet quality in the themes and settings of | both works presented. Mr. Bauman won appreciative applause in large quantity from his audience last night. As it happened that the concert planned for this occasion fell on what is the national holiday of Argentina, the band opened the program with the march “San Lorenzo,” by Silva, which commemorates the great battle of San Lorenzo when Gen. San Martin won a decisive victory in the struggle for inde- pendence. Also the band played the na- tional anthem of Argentina just prior to closing with the “Star Spangled Banner.” Religious Selections. Two religious compositions, unusual in such programs, gave depih and ef- fective variety to the concert. Both are unusual. “Popule Meus,” by Jose La- mas of Venezuela, not only is sung throughout its native country, but also is featured in programs given in the Vatican. “Lament and Glorification,” by Valle-Riestra of Peru, composed in ‘honor of the soldier-dead, is written in a style that has dignity and rich melodic beauty. It is small wonder that this was one of the featured numbers of the band'’s concerts in Spain. Two famous Latin American conduc- tors were represented. Adalid y Gamero, leader of the National Military Band of Tegucigalpa, provided the intermezzo, “A Night in Honduras” and Alberto Galimany, leader of Panama’s official band, who was a guest conductor at several service band programs in Wash- ington last season, was represented by “Caprichos Panamenos.” There were 11 other band numbers, all interesting and different in rhythms, yet each one of them featuring colorful melody. It is doubtful if the audience had any par- ticular favorites, for the applause was enthusiastic for every number given. ‘The band is showing the ease of fa- miliarity with this music. It was one of the most successful concerts given in Washington and ideally adapted to the Summer season. H. BENEFICIARIES HELD AFTER CAR TRAGEDY Discovery of Bloodstains and Charred Body Brings Arrest of Four. I By the Associated Press. NORRISTOWN, Pa., July 10.—Four men were under arrest today in con- nection with the death of William Nor- man Heim, automobile salesman, of ‘Trappe, Pa., whose charred body was found beneath his wrecked automobile near Fort Washington on the night of June 21, Robert H.

The dream of 19-year-old Henry Sherwin Rupp, son of well-to-do par- ents of Long Beach, Calif,, of entering the United States Naval Academy has ended in a cell. His hopes went a- glimmering with his arrest yesterday, when his scheme to have another youth take his place in the eye examination demanced of Annapolis candidates was . substitute’s vision. Rupp the day before had been found by examiners at the Naval Academy to be slightly color blind, but had ob- tained permission to repeat the test. He hired es a substitute from an em- ployment agency, Paul David Schooler, terday went to the office of the surgeon general here, where his eyesight and perception of colors were found to be extraordinarily good. The suspicions of physicians were immediately aroused. They could not understand how any one unable to pass the test one day could go through it with flying colors the next. Substitute Questioned. Schooler was questioned and his sig- nature was compared with Rupp's. Finally he confessed. They were taken to first precinct and today, following filing of charges of conspiracy to defraud the Government, Commissioner Turnage and were held | in $2,000 bond each for hearing Fri-| day. The charges were filed through | the Department of Justice. Navy Department officials pointed out that Rupp's deception, if it had been successful, would have resulted in the Government losing many thousands of dollars in educating the boy, since | his defective vision would have prevent- ed him from properly executing his duties later. Rupp is not left entirely alone, how- ever, for Senator Shortridge of Cali- fornia said this morning that he had seen press accounts of the case, and while he did not know what assistance he might lend he proposed to go into the matter. Takes Arrest Lightly. Rupp took his arrest lightly, and while being questioned at headquarters by Varney asked: “You'd do most any- thing if you wanted something badly enough, wouldn't you? lowell, Harry Hallowell and Charles Dull were taken into custody in the courtroom shortly before midnight at the conclusion of the coroner’s inquest. The jury found Heim had met death by a blow on the head from an in- strument in the hands of an unknown person. Helm was heavily insured in favor of Robert Hallowell. In the Hal- lowell garage police found bloodstains. Stains on an_automobile belonging to Isaac Hallowell were identified by the county chemist as human blood. Robert Hallowell testified that Heim owed the Hallowells money and that it was to protect their interests that the insurance policy on Heim’s life ‘was taken out. CORONER CONTINUES ‘MURDER PLOT’ PROBE Insurance Company Refuses to Pay Policies on Boy, 6—Father and Mother Grilled. By the Associated Press. SHELBYVILLE, Tenn, July 10.— Despite the absence of a report on State laboratory examinations of the viscera of Charles Orteur, 6 years old, who died last Wednesday, a hastily empaneled coroner’s jury today was ready to continue its investigation into what has been descried as an in- surance murder. plot. The death was under “peculiar cir- cumstances,” neighbors said, and when an insurance company refused to pay five policies John Orteur, father of the boy, had taken out on his life, and insisted that the viscera be examined, azumy authorities began an investiga- n. ‘The boy's mother was questioned, as was the father, who is being held on a charge of passing worthless checks. Building Contracts Awarded. NEW YORK, July 10 (#).—Bulk contracts awarded in 37 States east of the Rocky Mountains from July 1 to 5, inclusive, amounted to $112,575,200, F. ‘W. Dodge Corpora The vol- . tion ume for the correspon year was $97,700,000. “I don’t think what I did was_very criminal,” he said this morning. “I had passed all my mental examinations—it wasn’t like cribbing—and had come all the way from California. I arrived here on July 1 and presented myself at An- napolis on the 8th. I passed all of the examinations except the color test, and I though a little thing like that oughtn't to matter, so what was I to do? “I though it over after I returned to the Portland Hotel, where I am staying here, and decided to get some one to substitute for me. I had heard of it being done before. I picked out an em- ployment agency and asked them to send me a young man to run a gaso- line station. The manager suggested I come down and pick one out. I chue} Schooler because he was about my age.” Dined Together. Police say that Schooler was recently released from the District jall after serving part of a 60-day sentence for assaulting his stepmother. Rupp dined with Schooler, and then offered him $15 to substitute for him at the Navy Department examinations, Schooler readily agreed. Rupp said this morning that he based his hopes |3 for the success of the ruse on the fact| ™ that there was no physical description | of him at the Surgeon General's office. | When Schooler was discovered to be | an imposter, Navy Department offici: communicated with police headquarte: and Varney was dispatched to take the boy into custody. He went to the Port- land Hotel and found Rupp stretched out in a chair in the lobby, anxiously waiting for the return of Schooler, then long overdue.

By the Associated Press. AMSTERDAM, July 10.—China’s eco- nomic reconstruction and the prospect of future loans to her constituted the chief topic at the third day's session | of the International Chamber of Com- merce. Thomas W. Lamont, leader of the American delegation, delivered an ad- | dress in which he thanked the 15 Chi- nese delegates for' coming half-way round the world to participate for the first time in the chamber's delibera- tions and to enlighten the world dele- gnh!fs on the present-day conditions in ina. Warns Chinese of Problems. He warned the Chinese, however, that at a low ebb, adding that no loans on any scale calculated to be really helpful could be made in New York or Euro- pean capitals until the Chinese them- selves made careful measures for the re-establishment of China’s financial and political stability. “A great part of China’s foreign in- debtedness 18 in default,” Mr. Lamont sald. “Much of the specific security set aside for such foreign indebtedness and for the service of such loans has been sequestered. Until these condi- tions are removed there can be no ques- tion of further credits on a material scale for any purpose. In this process of restoration the holders of all loans | to China, whether American, British, | French or any other nationality, must | recelve equally fair treatment. Each | loan must, in the scheme of things, be | treated upon its merits and not upon the grounds of future credit favors to be received.” ‘The American delegate expressed the International Chamber's confidence in the aims and aspirations of the Chl-l Cleaned and Special Price i Ladies’ Wear | Suits | Long Coats Kimonos Bathrobes 1731 Thoroughly Dry Hand Pressed [ Three Days Only— Thursday, Friday and Saturday nese government and its faith in the ultimate achievement of those aims. It was the International Chamber's sincere desire, he said, to assist China in the long, slow and patient work of reconstruction and restoration of credit. ‘The thousand or more delegates from all parts of the world who were able by means of instantaneous translations to listen to Mr. Lamont's speech in several different tongues by means of individ- ual telephonic headpieces, applauded the American financier heartily when he concluded: Block Tarift Discussion. ‘Thus far the American delegates have prevented the proposed revision of American tariffs from coming up for specific discussion at open meetings and 1 lml that no concrete action will be the international chamber respecting the matter. In a general discussion of trade bar- riers today, however, the British, French and German delegates referred indirect- ly to the projected American tariff in- creases, saying that they constituted a danger to international commerce and would mean hardship to those countries which are obliged to pay reparations. On Friday or Saturday the conven- tion probably will adopt a formal reso- lution indorsing the Young plan as the best means of solving the reparations roblem. It is understood that George eunis, former premier of Belgium, will be elected Saturday to succeed Alberto Pirelli, of Italy, as president of the chamber. The American delegates formally will invite the chamber to hold its next con- gress in some American city. ROBBERIES REPORTED. Watches, Cash and Clothing Among Articles Stolen.

American banks are saving millions of dollars annually in interest charges on money during the time it is in tran- sit by sending currency through the air mail, W. Irvihg Glover, nt Post- master General in charge of air mail, declared last night in a radio address from Station WRC over a nation-wide hook-up of the National Broadcasting Co. The address was the second of the “Roads of the Sky” series arranged by the Aeronautical Chamber of Com- merce. Since the first air mail flight, be- tween New York and Washington May 15, 1918, Mr. Glover said, the air mail poundage has increased from 17,831 to 5,031,311 pounds a year. “The entire poundage carried in the year 1918,” he said, “was not quite an average day's business during month of May this year.” “If I should tell you of the amount of valuable paper and currency in the air mail flying tonight,” Mr. Glover sald, “you would be astounded at iis magnitude. And, so as not to distress you too much on an evening like this, I shall refrain from it and, too, it might put bad ideas in the minds of some of those gentlemen who ofttimes like to look upon Uncle Sam's mail while it is green and then regard it at their leisure as guests of their said Uncle. “The network of air mail lines serves the communities in which live 75,000,000 people of the United States. New lines are being installed by the Post Office Department to further expedite the de- livery of your mail.” Building permits in Canada so far this year have a total valuation of nearly 60 per cent greater than a year ago.

Phone West 1400 Mrs. Corey Scx;ds Her Sister as Envo& To Discuss Match By the Assoctated Pre PARIS, July 10.—Friends of Mrs. Mabelle Gilman Corey, divorced wife of the Pittsburgh steel magnate, Wil- liam A. Corey, have renewed their hopes she may soon be a princess, wife of Prince Luis de Beurbon, cousin of King Alfonso of Spain. Mrs. Corey's sister, Mrs, Thomas, has gone down to 8an Remo to talk things over, with the prince. Parisians who are close to the scion of the House of Bourbon say that the new tete-a-tete offers reasonable hope of arriving at an understanding so that the marriage may take place possibiy in October. It was said that the mission of Mrs. ‘Thomas would be to determine whether With Spanish Prince the dc complications and the reli- glous difficulties which thus far have prevented the marriage could be over- come. The religious cbstacle was be- lieved still to remain in the way, even though Mrs. Corey has been received into the Roman Catholic Church, inasmuch as she is a divorced woman. About a month ago the prince, who has been banished from both Spain and France as an objectionable, balked at the “pin money” allowance of $1,000 a month which Mrs. Corey agreed to glve him. He announced then he had decided not to marry. On June 27, after some hesitancy, Mrs. Corey telephoned the Associated Press the engagement was all off. JOHNSON IS NAMED.
