MASS CHORUS OF
CHILDREN SING
AT S AENGERFEST
JTwo Thousand Youthful Voice
Sound Forth Melodies of
Both Germany and
America.
DESCENDANTS OF ALL NATIONS
English, German, Eussian and Even
Colored Children Sin? "Die
Wacht am Ehein."
"AMERICA" ALSO ON PROGRAM
A tl& success was scored by the
treat children's chorus of 2,000
voices at the second matinee1 of the
aaena-erfest In the Auditorium yes
terday afternoon. The great build
ing was again filled to capacity. It
seemed to emphasize the neutrality
of America to hear these children,
descended from all the warring na
tions, singing "Die Wacht am
Rheln," "Sah eln Knab" eln Roes
lela etch's." "Herr Helnrlch slttt
am Vogelherd' and other German
songs and "My Old Kentucky Honiej
"Home, 8weet Home," "America"
and other American songs.
They sang them with Juvenile enthuel
11m and they san them with "the spirit
that will help the world along-." And one
of the remarkable facts about the per
formance was that the children knew
II the songs 'b'y heart,' and sang them
one after the other with the orchestra,
under direction of Prof. Reeee. The col
ored children sang the German songs as
well as the English, seeming to be more
inspired by the lovely melodies or me
Fatherland than by the "Suwanee
River," supposedly a song of the old
time darkles.
It was a concert of variety. There was
orchestra muelo and there were solos by
the great soloists and lust one song by
the Nebraska saengerbund.
Form Pretty Plctore.
Ths ohlldren formed a pretty picture
on the great tiers of seats rising .from
the stage. Members of the Nebraska
saengerbund were grouped In the front
center and left Immediately after, their
part of ths concert to make room for the
children.
Prof. Reese's appearance In the con
ductor's stand Was greeted with great
applause from the children. . And. ; the

Ths opening orchestra number was the
Mr1ntvft ntf-nr of th knlahte from
. i ,. . m t 1 1 t 1
Then the Nebraska saengerbund ren
dared with SDlendid effect "On tne
Chores of Weser River," specially ar
ranged for this chorus by Prof. Reese.
The audience demanded an encore num
ber, whloh was also excellently done. '
Accompanied by Plaao.
All the soloists of the afternoon were
accompanied on the piano Instead of by
the orchestra, They nere Miss Chrlstlno
MUler, Enrico Palmetto and Mme. Julia,
Clauseen and B. C. Boehmer, the latter
being from Lincoln. Miss MUler sang
"Beat ths Drums," "Ths Blacksmith"
and "Longing for Home." Miss Cortnne
Paulson was her piano accompanist.
Both soloist and accompanist received a
great ovation.
Mr. Palmetto sang "Aus Metnen
g roe sen Schmersen." "Maid With the
Lips Bo Rosy" and a song from ths
opera, "Evangellman." The great Dan
ish lyrlo tenor proved himself especially
the favorite of the children.
Mme. Julia Clauasen, after three solos,
had to give an encore number before the
enthusiastic audience was satisfied. She
sang 'iDer Freund," "In goldener Fuelle"
and "Das Kraut Vergessenhelt."
E. C. Boehmer's baritone solo, "O,
Heavenly Time, O, Blissful Time," was

QUIET PEEYAILS IN
BAYOTODISTRICT
Sheriff Kinkead and City Officials
Believe They Have the Situation
Well in Hand.
WATCHING TWO DANGER POINTS
nt L.LETIN.
NEW YORK, July 23. Another
outbreak occurred late today In
Bayonne when Sheriff Kinkead
marched through the streets with
fifty deputies who had Just arrived
to relieve men on guard. Crowds
gathered and threw sticks and stones
and a few shots were fired. Police
reserves were called to restore or
der. The demonstration occurred
some distance from the oil works.
NEW YORK. July 23 Compara
tive quiet. In marked contrast to the
three previous days of the week, pre
vailed in the ConBtabl Hook section
of Bayonne, N. J., today around the
plants of the Standard OU company
and the Tidewater Oil company,
which have been closed because of
a strike of 1,000 men In the Stan
dard Oil works and the resultant dis
order whereby three men were killed
and scores injured.
Crowds gathered as usual, but no
threatening move was made. Desultory
firing occurred during the night. But the
police said this was chiefly due to false
alarms. Sheriff Kinkead and Commis
sioner of Public Safety Henry Wilson
said today they believed the situation
was well In hand and that there would
be no need of troops.
Two events set for today caused the
authorities some uneasiness, however.
and they kept a strong force of police
and deputy sheriffs on duty. One of these
was the funeral of the first victim of the
riots, John Btranchik. The authorities for
bade a public funeral with music and
orations. A church service conducted by
the regular clergymen of the vicinity and
a procession, It was declared, would be
permitted, but speeches were banned.
The other matter to cause uneasiness
Is the fact that this Is payday at the
works and it was thought some of the
men mlgt go there to collect wages and
their approach might incite shooting and
disorder. Sheriff Kugene Kinkead asked
the strikers' committee to defer their pay
day for a week and sail that If any of
the men were In distress and needed their
wages he would personally try to collect
the money. The committeemen said they
would present the sheriffs views to the
men.
Sheriff Warns. Strikers.
Sheriff Kinkead invited the strikers'
committee, which U headed by Jere
miah J. Daly, to police headquarters and
asked them- to strongly counsel the men
to avoid further disorders. He appealed
to them to keep the men off the streets.

Gilbert M. Hitchcock, United

ment, gives out the facts as to his
efforts to have the federal plum

he will follow when the formal nom

Senator Hitchcock gave out the fol
lowing statement:
' The news from Washington that Presi

state does not call for any comment by
me at this time. -
"The best of these offioes is collector

later J. C. Byrnes and finally Marton
L. Corey of Clay Center. ach had
rendered Important service to the demo
cratic party in Nebraska In various
state campaigns. Each, in turn, how
ever, was rejected, becaVe of Mr,
Bryan's objections and finally, last
week, I proposed A. P. Sprague of York,
secretary of the state central committee.
He, too, has now been rejected and
Oeorge I Loomls, of Fremont, has been
appointed on Mr. Bryan's request.
"For district attorney, I first recom
mended Mertcui I Corey, but later
pressed him for collector of Internal
revenue, when I found he could not be
made district attorney. For this office,
which is, perhaps, more Important than
the others, the president has appointed

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON , July 33. (Spe

ceased to be even a comfortable vlr
tue In relation to the big offices In
Nebraska, and there being no signs;
of any agreement between the Bryan

made the following appointments!
Collector of customs, customs col

trict of Nebraska, Thomas 8. Allen
of Lincoln.
Who Gets the Credit.
While on the fare of these appoint
ments, it would seem ss If the adminis

partial as between Mr. Itrysn and Sena

ex-sncretary of state lands the major
offices for his friends, that of eollaotor

considerably more Ice than those aoored-: number of executives of lnterna

filled by Omaha partisans of Mr. Hitch
