C. Anderson, former exccutive of | the company, said the ofl stores of the field had been endangered by ofl ex- ploitations on_ adjoining tracts. This | drilling, he sald, threatened to.drain the Governiment_lands not only of ofl, but of gas, by which the flow of oil is main- tained. Realizing this situation, Anderson | testified, Albert B, Fall, Secretary of the Interior in 1921, leased the property to Edward L. Doheny, president of the company at that time. Anderson denied that a $100,000 bribe given to Fall by Doheny and of which the former cabi- net official was convicted had any part in the making of the leases. In presentation of its case the Gov- | ernment introduced depositions from fts geologists, in which they recommended {to Fall in 1921 that the lands be kept idle because drilling would create an overproduction in oil. Norman_ Sterry, chief defense coun- sel, said Anderson would be succeeded on’ the witness stand by E. C. Finney, first assistant to Fall in 1921 }I MUSIC OLSZEWSKA-BAUER RECITAL, Because of a sudden illness the young | Spanish pianist, Jose Iturbi, who was | scheduled to appear at the Mayflower | yesterday morning, was unable to come to Washington. Senor Iturbi has had several brilliant appearances recently in New York, creating a sensation espe- | cially with his playing of Mozart, and | his debut here was keenly anticipated. However, this turn of fate brought an | ever-welcome artist here as substitute under Mrs. Townsend’s auspices. Har- | old Bauer is both an excellent musician |and a great artist. He played a thor- oughly high-brow program yesterday so beautifully that he won an ovation. His particular specialty, Bach, was rep- resented by the “Suite in A Minor” and | also his own arrangement of the charm- |ing chorale, “Jesu, Joy of Man's De- | siring,” from Cantata 147, given as the one plano encore. The long_flowing {lines of the lyric “Etudes Sympho- niques,” with their lights and shadows of mood, never have been so enchant- ing or held the attention of an audi- |ence generally as they did in Mr. | Bauer's reading of them yesterday. | Debussy’s “Reflets dans l'eau” = was given sppropriate crystal quality, and | the involved “Mephisto Valse,” by Lisat, was a brilliant achievement. The other artist of the morning was Maria Olszewska, the statuesque contralto | of the Chicago Grand Opera Co., who is | remembered most vividly by cosmo- politan opera lovers for her Brangaene in “Tristan und Isolde” and Octavian | in “Rosenkavalier.” She appeared last Jscuon under Mrs. Townsend's auspices, in her local debut, leaving an especially warm memory of ‘her “Carmen” music. Yesterday she sang only German lieder, | which she certainly sings ideally. She { not only has clear, soft German dic- tion, but she is obviously filled with the real feeling for the lieder type of song. | Whether the mood be light, mischievous, | romantic or tragic, she mirrors it in the vocal quality and interpretation. She | seems to have genuine sincerity. Her deepest_low notes flow as easily and are | as excellently placed as the high notes. There are no rough breaks or changes | in tonal quality as she goes from ope | range into another. She is an artist, |and with Frederick Schauwecker, her | accompanist, they made Schubert, | Brahms and Richard Strauss songs | rarely charming with rich interpreta- | ition. The Brahms encore, “Staend- | chen,” seemed to be particularly en- joyed. Mme. Olszewska received flowers | and enthusiastic applause from the au- dience. | _ Next Wednesday the artists will be Emma Otero, young Cuban coloratura, i Here Are ‘“‘Some” Super Furniture Values Selected From Our Great Stock Priscilla Sew- ing Cabinet $2.98 Mahogany finished. usefuiness as. attrac- Buffet Mirror $3.95 Polychrome frame. plate glass mirror, Choice of walnut, red and green Axminster Rugs Oriental and Conventional Design Solid Mahogany Martha ‘Washington Sewing Cabinet $16.75 mahogany true Co- Occasional Chair $6.95 Upholstered in tapes- try and velour.
