The latter is a Russian boy 16 years of age and a student of Josef Kaspar. Young Rodisky was accom- panied at the piano by Mrs. Carl | Chindblom of Tilinois.

Along Washington’s Path Twice Forsaken by Fortune, First President Found It Again in Battle of Wilderness W here Gen. Braddock Fell. BY JAMES MORGAN. BRADDOCK'S GRAVE, Pa. March 5 (N.AANA)—Within a short space| of this lonely green mound in the midst | of the Alleghenies, Washington was twice forsaken by fortune, and by it runs the road whereon he found Lady Luck again. His first skirmish with the French occurred a few miles to the west, and its swift revenge overwhelmed him at his Fort Necessity, a mile to the east. And here, too, is & path of glory for him, which led but to the grave for its | builcer. { Down the weedy slope of a gully is| one of the few scattered scars remain- | ing of the celebrated road to disaster | | and death which Braddock hacked through these mountains and across| five great ranges in 1755. His was a weary and ted little army when it | arrived at the Monongahela River on a hot July day, and within 10 miles of Prance’s seemingly doomed Fort Du-| uesne. It was trudging through a dense for- est, today a wilderness of steel mills| and railroad tracks in the Braddock suburb of Pittsburgh, when it was sud- | denly attacked by French and Indians. | | Gen. Braddock Falls. | Braddock dashed about in a frantic effort to curse, swordwhack and shoot order out of chaos. “We can't fight Bushes!” his men shrieked at him above the war hoops of the hidden foe In his desperation Braddock must have | envied the four horses shot from under | him before he himself fell with a mor- | tal wound. ! Washington still was weak and sore | from fever. Twice he was unhorsed, | and his clothing was pierced four times by bullets. Two-thirds of his fellow officers were killed or wounded, and the leaderless army fled. Commands, entreaties and bribes failed to halt any of the fleeing sol- diers and persuade them to carry their | commander with them, so Washington and a frontiersman wvore Braddock away in a litter made of his flaming | silk sash. He begged them to leave | him to die, and he even snatched at | the frontiersman’s pistol that he might turn the weapon upon himself All through a black and rainy night, while Washington hurried back to the | base for wagons and supplies for the wounded soldiers, Braddock suffered the | agony of a jolting ride mn a springless | wagon. After four days of pain and shame death delivered him at last at | Great Meadows, where the National | Highway now crosses tne route of the | old Braddock road, near Uniontown, and 60 miles from the scene of the slaughter. In digging own grax\'e_ in the middle of which he was buried while Washmton read the prayer for the dead. Over the tell-tale mound wagons were drtven to hide it from the Indians, who would have prized Braddock's scalp above all the grisly trophies their knives reaped on the banks of the Monongahela. Grave Disappears. When Washington returned here a few years afterward the wilderness had swallowed the grave of its challenger and he could find no trace of it. A half century passed and the spades of a road repairing crew uncovered some bones and the buttons of a British major general. That evidence received strange corroboration from a surviving | witness of the burial, an aged veteran | of the Pennsylvania militia, whose life- long boast was that he had shot Brad- OFFICERS TO SUPERVISE NICARAGUAN ELECTION | Rear Admr.

A rear admiral of the American Navy, now on duty on the West Coast, and a lieutenant colonel of Marines, now | serving at Quantico, Va., will supervise the national elections in Nicaragua this ear. Il % The Navy Department late yesterday designated Rear Admiral Clark H.| Woodward, U. S. N., by appointment of | President Hoover, to go to Nicaragua.; Lieut. Col. Charles F. B.

A new grave was made here at the roadside. But it was left unmarked an- | other half century, when a historically- minded man from Pittsburgh planted four hemlocks about it. In the midst of these trees a becoming monument finally was set up in 1913 by the citi- zens of this county. It was time for America to make amends to a memory its historians had clouded merely that Washington might shine by comparison, though he him- self would have scorned a laurel plucked from another's brow. He was neither less nor more fearléss than his com- mander. His courage may have cooler, calmer, his fortitude unshaken by despair, and that was the sufficient promise the young man of 23 gave of his future.

CAMPAIGNSUM Tumuity and 0’Brien Among Speakers Scoring Admin- istration at Ratly. At a rally of Democrats last night at | the Mayflower Hotel more than $4,000 was raised for the conduct of the local campaign and predictions were made by the several spegkers that the Democrats would be in control of the White House after March 4 next. The principal speakers were Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the late Wood- | row Wilson; Col. Arthur O’Brien, who will direct the local Democratic cam- paign, and Rear Admiral Reginald Nicholson, retired. Col. O'Brien informed the gathering that every dollar contributed in his so- called victory campaign will be an in- vestment to increase the value of se- curities. He declared that Republicans must nominate Mr. Hoover and in that event there will be another four years of experimental theories of economics and engineering. “Four more years of this.” Col. O'Brien said, “will make us a country of beggars. The only hope this country has for a recoupment of values and restoration of American principles and ideals is a new admin- istration.” Sees Ruin of G. 0. P. In predicting Democratic victory at the polls next November, Tumulty de- clared that the Republican party is not only going to be defeated, but will be destroyed. It will be blotted out and disappear as the weak party, Mr. Tumulty said. “The Republican party thought that human beings had merely stomachs and no souls,” Mr. Tumulty said. “The forthcoming election is going to see the Tesurrection of those great principles for which Woodrow Wilson fought. I might point out that after all the Re- publican criticism of Woodrow Wilson, the Republican party changed only one thing he did in our foreign affairs and that one little thing had to do with the island of Yap.” Admiral Nicholson Speaks. Rear Admiral Nicholson, who piloted the battleship Oregon in its historic race half way around the world in the Spanish War to participate in the Battle of San Diego, in a brief talk urged suport of the fund-raising cam- paign for the local Democrats. . J. Borden Harriman, District national committeewoman, organized at the request of the chairman last night a group of women to carry on woman activities in the forthcoming campaign. Details of this will be discussed at a meeting to be held next Tuesday aft- ernoon at the Mayflower Hotel. During the progress of this enthusi- astic Democratic rally last night, a voung people’s Democratic Club was being formed in another room of the hotel. This latter organization will be a part of the national Democratic or- ganization. More than 30 States and the District of Columbia as well as several colleges and universities will be represented in a national gathering of young_ people’s party organizations to be held here tonight.

LOHG before “Dixie” was sung she large crowd in the Willard pall room last night realized they were witnessing & veal “Evenin' in the Southland.” Led by Homer Rodeheaver, the music presented by the excellent Southland Spiritual Singers, colored uartet, and Ruth Rodeheaver Was typical many a twilight hour on the front porch of the big cotton plantation— homes of days too fast becoming only memories. There i an inexplicable quality to Negro spirituals—an emotional appeal that denies all analysis. Try to be critical if you will but you end up succumbing to just sitting back and letting the rhythm chant its way into you—particularly when sung in the remarkable way present- ed by T. W. Macklin, bass: James H. Robinson, baritone: Felix Bar- bour, second tenor, and Alex Ter- rell, first tenor—four colored boys from the real South, who sing to- gether and make you mighty glad they do. “Then I'se Gwine Home,” “This Cotton Needs a Pickin’,” “Ain’t It a Shame to Work on Sun- day” and “Gwine Up" were par- ticularly good. Macklin won well deserved applause with his bass ren- dition of “Old Black Joe” with humming accompaniment Mr. Rodeheaver acted as master of ceremonies, and interspersed his songs with humorous anecdotes re- garding experiences in teaching Americans the song lore that is theirs. His rendition of “Chloe” was very dramatically presented, as was his “Uncle Rome.” Both drew con- tinued applause from the audience. He was excellent, too, in his recita- tion “When Mah Lindy Sings,” which was terminated by the lyric soprano of his sister singing “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” in the distance. “Miss Ruth,” as he affectionately terms her, has a remarkable voice, unusually fine in high keys and with great sustaining quality that adds great charm to her musical effect. Her “Last Rose of Summer” and “Comin’ Through the Rye" were very well received. And, of course, the trombone—the instrument that Mr. Rodeheaver has torn from its jazz environment and made an instrument of rare beauty in presenting classical music. The “Londonderry Air" was very good. Mr. Rodeheaver accompanied his sis- ter on the trombone as she “Carry Me Back to Old Virginia.” Mary Atkinson Henson played piano accompaniments. The concert was iven under auspices of the Women's uild of the Central Union Mission and the Children’s Emergency Home. W.H. Theodore Holst Comes Here in April. R.GUSTAV THEODORE HOLST, English composer, who will ap- pear in person at the concert to be given in Constitution Hall the eve- ning of April 17, under the sponsor- ship of the American Red Cross, has had a wide and varied musical career. He is now the guest professor of composition at Harvard University, division of music. Dr. Holst was born at Cheltenham, England, and his home is now in London. Although a voluminous composer, he has done all kinds of hack musical work, scoring and ar- ranging, playing in seaside bands in English watering resorts. In 1893 he entered the Royal Col- lege of Music, in London, where he Villiers 8. spight of Italy, perhaps by his “Pines of Rome,” has written a special number for this concert. At this time it will have its first per- formance. Nathaniel Shilkret will be present to conduct his composition, entitled “Skyward.” Edwin Franko Goldman, president of the American Bandmasters’ Association, will pro- duce a new grand march which will have its first production at the con- cert and will be given by the three United States service bands, playing together under the direction of Mr. Goldman. The concert is to be given in con- nection with the national meeting of the bandmasters, who will devote four days to a clinical study of band music. Arrangements for all of the events are in the hands of the local committee, headed by Lieut. Charles Benter of the United States Navy Band, working in co-operation with ;'}‘1‘9 Greater National Capital Com- ittee. Dartmouth Musical Clubs To Give Recital March 30.

Interesting Program At Friday Morning Club. Im BECKER opened the program of the Priday Morning Music Club yesterday with Handel's “Sonata in C Major for Viola and Piano.” The two adagio movements were played with & smooth, mellow tona. Mary Izant Oouch accompanied for Miss B hnciie H. Lovi nnelie H. ng chose & Rach- maninoff “Elegie” and a group of Debussy pleces for ptano, which suit- ed her even-toned, fluent style. “La Pille :“ul‘x O‘?‘:‘vmx ;19 Lin," with its grace] me] y than the - e "s Ly Anne Yago McGuffey showed her considerable operatic experience in her dramatic rendition of Verdi's “Invocasione et Scena,” from “Un Ballo in Maschero.” She has an enormously powerful voice which, at its fullest, could fill any opera house. Mrs. McGuffey exhibited control and versatility of interpretation in her final group of contralto songs, which included Kursteiner's “Invocation to Eros,” Brahms' “Der Schmied,” Liszt's “Du Bist Wie Eine Blume,” Nina Koscetz’ arrangement of Aren- sky's “Waltz" and Kountz' “The Sleigh.” Her simple yet intense singing was very appealing to the audience. Although it enjoyed the slow and moving “Waltz" and the spirited “‘Sleigh" songs, the favorite selection was undoubtedly her en- core, the Irish folk song, “Annie Laurie.” John Marville accompanied the singer. D.C. LESLIE SHAW WAGING FIGHT WITH ILLNESS Roosevelt's Treasury Secretary Serionsly Il of Pneumonia. Condition Unchanged. No change was noted today in the condition of Leslie M. Shaw, 83, Secre- tary of the Treasury in the cabinet of | President Roosevelt, who is seriously ill of pneumonia at his residence, at the Wardman Park Hotel. According to his daughter, Mrs. John McMillin of New York, who is in at- tendance at his bedside, a naturally strong constitution is waging a game fight with the infirmities of age and the inroads of the pneumonia infection, but no improvement in his condition has been observed by attending physicians in the past 24 hours. Mr. Shaw’s heart action was described as good, but his general condition is “very weak.” Although suffering with a heavy cold, Mr. Shaw made a business trip to New York two weeks ago, with the result that the cold developed into pneumonia. Mr. Shaw accepted the cabinet post after serving two terms as Governor of Iowa, in which State he practiced law and engaged in banking for many years.
