BROWN HITS BLAINE CHARGE AS FALSE Cites Circumstances to Show Post Office Did Not “Slip Deal Over on Congress.” Postmaster General Brown yesterday “randed as “an unmitigated falsehood” 8 statement attributed to Senator Blaine Republican, of Wisconsin, in which it was sald that the Post Office Depart- ment “slipped it over on Congress” in obtaining legislative authority to change the site for the new Chicago Federal Building. Senator Blaine, chairman of the Sen- ata Committee Investigating Post Of- ;:l‘! Leases, was quoted by Brown as ing said at recent hearings in Chi- cago: 'The Post Office Department obtained legislative authority to make these deals. ‘They slipped it over on Congress, com- ing in about two hours before noon on the last day of the session and asking that these specific items of millions be placed in the budget. Of course, the Budget Committee had no chance to in- vestigate, and, therefore, had to rely on the officials’ honesty and judgment.” The Postmaster General said, “This false and malicious charge was intended @s a slur upon the honestly and busi- ness judgment of officials of the Post Office Department.” “Blaine’s statement is completely at variance with the facts,” he continued. “In the first place, it was the Treasury, and not the Post Office Department, which sought legislative authority to change the sile for the Chicago Fed- eral building. In the second place, the transaction had the careful attention not only of the Bureau of the Budget but of both houses of Congress. “ft was submitted informally to the entire Chicago delegation in Congress, by whom it was unanimously approved. It was laid formally before the second session of the Seventy-first Congress on May 22, 2030, exactly seven weeks be- fore adjournment, instead of two hours, as stated by Blaine. “In view of this record of the facts, 1t s apparent that Blaine's statement that this transaction was ‘slipped over’ on Congress by the Post Office Depart- ment in the last minutes of the closing day of the sessifon is an unmitigated falsehood. “In the period of more than a year which has elapsed since the Senate Lease Committee was established Blaine has repeatedly issued statements charg- ing that post office leases are honey- combed with corruption. “Yet he has produced no evidence of drregularity in a single one of the more than 13,000 leases which have been in force in the period governed by his inquiry. “His present intrusion into the sub- Ject of sites for Federal buildings—a fleld which is entirely outside the juris- diction of his committee—is evidently for the purpose of covering up his fail- ure to secure any plausible evidence to substantiate his unwarranted charges of fraud in connection with leases. “I have neither the desire nor the intention to engage in any controversy with a notoriety-seeker of this type. However. I deem it my duty to warn t.he public that there is no more reason ut faith in any statements which Bln e has made or may make suggest- ing irregularities in the purchase of sites for Federal buildings than there is .to believe his thoroughly discredited charges respecting post office leases.” GIRL KILLED IN CRASH ASHBURN, Ga, May 6 (P .—Miss Katherine Roach of Largo, Fla, was killed and three other persons injured when their automobile skidded on the pavement north of here vesterday and ~verturned on & curve. party was en route from North Carollnn to b7 B — SPECIAL NOTICES.

Wide Travel and Experiénce Enabled Him to Keep Leadership. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 6.—With 20 years of his reign behind him today. no modern monarch has brought his throne so un- scratched through such world storms as King George has weathered. | From the very start he has had to deal with times of stress. Barely three years of his reign could be called “normal,” and even while war ¢louds were stills gathering over Eu- rope the Irish question was pressing dangerously. In August, 1914, the World War broke with its appalling fury. Until its end the King was outwardly a calm and steady rock to which his people might look for assurance. | It was the way a king should have acted, and in truth the only way he could. He came out of the war a mon- arch very dear to his people as a per- son. | Led in Irish Settlement. | In 1921 he took the lead in settling | the Irish troubjes with a personal ap- peal. In 1926 the general strike, the next | big public erisis, found King George making another appeal for industrial peace, which did much to keep the con- troversy friendly and to avold serious riots. Then came his desperate {llness, | which, after many months, left him in far from robust health, It was during this time that the pub- lic affection for the King was most spectacularly demonstrated. Thousands milled about Buckingham Palace while he was sick, waiting to read for them- | selves the doctors’ bulletins. When | later he returned to London from his seaside convalescence the route was thronged for miles. Last year the anniversary of his ac- cession to the throne was made an opportunity for a nation's thanks for his safe recovery. There was a modest | celebration and thousands of m of congratulation poured into the palace. Last Year Busy. This, his twentieth year, has been | packed with events important to the| Mousic and KING GEORGE. British Empire, which has been gradu- | ally changing its character. Farly in the year he opened the Naval Conference, which brought about | a cessation of competitive building. Later in the year at the imperial conference the dominions pulled fu: ther away from the influence of Wes | minster, but gave the King added im- portance as an empire figure. ‘Then came the !ndmn round-table | conference, which the King opened per- sonally. Upon the secure settlement | of this problem many observers believe the future of the empire hinges. ‘There m issatisfactions with governments; there seems none with the throne. He Knows His Job. The explanation is that King George knows his job. He has brought the theory that Eng- | land’s kings “rule but do not govern"' | near perfection. Probably this is the result of the long apprenticeship he served to his father and to Queen Victoria. He was & mature man of wide travel and personal knowledge of the empire before m. coronation. He has seen the empire change to & commonwealth of nations and England go from conservative to Soctalist gov- emmenu And each time he has been es | ready to meet the trend of public opin- | fon when it reached him. In other words, he has had to think a jump ahead of the people, 'hMtun kings haven't been able to do | A ‘Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's pmgrams, Francisco Dominiels, Excellent Soloists Feature Pan-American Concert. N honor of the delegates to the Sixth General Congress of the International Chamber of Com- merce, there was presented last night in the Hall of the Americas of the Pan-American Union one of the most successful of the now !lmmu Latin American music pro- Ento this plcturesque and bril- liantly lighted hall last night went one of the largest and most colorful audiences of the year —a hun- dred or more having to sit on the stair land- ing, and many more staying below in the giant patio. The concert began promptly at 9 p.m., the United Service Orches- tra under the direction of Capt. Willlam J. Stannard of the United States Army Band, intuning the majestic “Ecua- toriang” march by Sixto M. Durian. until the highly commendable sing! of Prancisco Dominicis, Cuban tenor, who has not been heard here before, those who were not able to gain entrance to the hall proper were forced to divide their music with the soothing sounds of the fountain in the hall and the parrots, which unleashed occasional emphatic words of their own. With Mr. Dominicis’ “Cuento de Amor,” however, an invisible hand qumgd the sound of the foun- tain and only an occasional squawk from the red-and-green-plumed birds disturbed the even flow of the music. This seemed, in fact, the most interesting of the year's concerts at the Pan-American Union. No finer artists certainly have been presented there than Maria Romero, Mexican soprano, and Mr. Domin- lcis. Miss Romero received a well deserved ovation for almost every- thing she sang—her voice being strong and clear and possessed of the most faultlessly delicate high notes, and her songs by native com- posers being melodious and nicely adapted to her talents. Among these were “Alma Mia,” by Maria Grever, and “Guitarras y Flores,” by J. Del Moras, both of which were sung for the first time last night. Miss Romero also successfully broke a rigid tradition of the Union by being asked o sing an encore, which she accom- plished delightfully. Of the other first renditions played by the orchestra the “Lament and Glorification” of Riestra, which had | been arranged by, Musician Rudolph M. Eckman .of the United States Army Band, seemed especially note- worthy. It is also interesting to note that the waltz ‘“Secretos,” Wwhich | was originally written by Luis Calvo of Colombia, was arranged for pres- entation last night by Luis Guz- man of the United States Marine Band, who was born and educated in Colombia and who is a warm friend of the composer, ‘With valuable interpolations, such as the vibraphone solo by Willlam D. Keefer, and the cornet solo by Winfred Kempt, plus Mr. Domin- icis’ songs of his country, and the thunderous applause that greeted Miss Romero contlnually, thh fes- tival concert seemed the best of them all—unless, perhaps, it should have been presented out in the open under the canépy of Mother Night, and then it mlgm have been better, . DE 8. MELCHER. Benefit Recital Given at the Shoreham. UBY POTTER, lyric soprano, and Louis Potter, planist, gave an interesting and delightful pro- gram last evening in the Shoreham ball room under the auspices of the Calvary M. E. Church Cholr. and Men’s Club. The large audience was enthusiastic in its reception of the artists and they were recalled many times. The concert was given for the fund toward the purchase of a new grand piano for the church auditorium. Mrs. Potter has a voice of bell-like quality and sings with ease. Her pianissimos being perticularly beau- tiful and effective and her clear enunciation adds much to the en- joyment. Her opening number was the difficult “Care Selve” of Handel, which she did with excellent phras- ing and sustained tone. The more brilliant ‘Je Veux Vivre,” frem Hnuous service. Ask for an estimate.

Un- fortunately, the noise of a jazz orch- estra in an adjoining rocm could be plainly heard, and had the work of Mr. and Mrs. Potter been less in- teresting would have completely marred their program. Mr. Potter played the Cesar Franck “Prelude, PFugue and Variations,” arranged for piano by Harold Bauer, the compositicn having been origi- nally written for organ. In this he showed rich tone and delicacy of technique, which with his judicious use of the pedal, made a well fin- ished performance. He later Dlnyed Schumann’s “Symphonic Etudes,” a tremendous undertaking and one which he carried off with apparent, ease. Before Liza Lehmann’s “Endy- mion,” for plano and voice, which closed the program, Mr. Potter play- ed a group of lighter numbers, equally well done and delightful The “Endymion” gave another opportunity for Mrs. Potter to show to advantage the freshness and clearness of her tones, Mr. Potter playing the plano part as he played her accompaniments in the other numbers, with sympathy and with ample support. Dr. Depp, pastcr of the church, interrupted the program for half an hour that Muno Lee might read some of her own works. K. B. Last Two Days of Fox Theater Festival.
