CHILDREN PRACTICE
FOR SAEHGERFEST
Of German, British, French, Italian
nd Rnwian Ancestry, They
Sing "Die Wacht am Rhine.'
EVET COLORED CHILDREN SINO
IMd yon ever hear colored children
larlng "Die Wacht am Hhein?"
Ringing it with abandon, with gusto
and with a care-free swing that
ahowed the words were as familiar
to them at the words of "America"
and "Old Kentucky Home."
This was the sight exhibited to
those who were present at the first
rehearsal of the rrand children's
chorus for the Omaha Saengerfest,
which was held in the Auditorium
Saturday morning. A number of
the 2.000 school children partici
pating are colored.
Enough children were there to half fill
th big lower floor when Prof. Theodore
Rudolph Reese seated hlmiielf at the
piano on the stage and struck the first
chord.
And when Prof. Ferdinand Stettlnger.
director of music In the public school,
smote his palms together the Juvenile
multitude rose as one boy, or rather as
one girl, for nine-tenths were llttlo
maids and burst Into the beautiful tune
and words of "Alle Voegel Bind Sehon
Da, Alle Voegel Alle."
Worthr of Ornni.gpn,
Why, It would take grown-up choruses
a Jong while to reach the degree f
perfection which these Juvenile hundreds
have reached already and, seemingly, by
Instinct.
Without a pause at the end of the first
selection. Prof. Reese at the piano
guided them Into the second, "Homo.
Sweet Home'' snd so, through the pro
gram they alternated, German and Eng
lish.
Most ef the children know all the songs
by heart.
Whether the music of the German com
positions is more catchy and lilting and
inspiring or whether there Is something
In the soft sibilants and thrilling gut
turals of the German speech, the fact
remains that th children sing the Ger
man songs with greater gusto than they
do th English ones. Close observation of
the colored contingent revealed the par
adoxical fact that they sang "Bah Eln
Knabeln Roseleln Btehn." with greater
Joy, confidence and tunefulness than
they did ' 'Way Down Upon th Buwanee
Rlbber."
All TaVe Part.
The battlefields of Buroi seemed a
mere mlasmlo dream, a nauseous night
mare, as American children of German,
Austrian, Italian. Scandinavian, Russian,
French, British and African ancestry
Joined Joyously In the Inspiring strains of
"Die Wacht ant Rheln" and then rolled
Joyously and, perhaps, a little more so
Into the well krtpwn and especially bo-lovd-of-chlldren,
"America."
The children's part of .the great Saen
gerfest will b the last matinee concert
of the big singing meet which will bring
OcVmari sinters from 100 Cities to Omaha
In July. The child voices will be reinforced
by an orobestra of fifty-five pieces.
Judging from this rehearral. the first
rehearsal and on In which the vocalists
were accompanied merely by a piano, the
children's chorus of 2.000 voice, with
onchestra accompaniment, singing the
time-tried and well-loved songs of both
American and the fatherland will be an
attraction worth going far to hear and
sea.

Omaha Delegates
Return from River
Meeting at Dubuque
Frank J. Hughes and E. J. McVann
have returned from Dubuque, where they
were sent as delegates of the Omaha
Commercial club to the meeting of the
Upper Mississippi River Improvement as
sociation conference. Mr. Hughes was
appointed as one of th members of a
working committee that Is to gather all
possible data between now and October
on th subject of how much freight there
ib In sight that might take advantage
of river navigation on the upper Missis
sippi and Missouri, and also ss to what
capital might be available to go Into a
river navigation enterprise.
Th Omaha delegates say the meeting
wss well attended by representatives of
f 11 the upper Mississippi river states. The
working committee Is to report to th
general association at the next meeting
October 13. One of the notable things
about the meeting In the minds of the
Omaha delegates was the marked Interest
taken by St. Louis delegates. They be
llv that St Louis has awakened to the
possibilities that are in store for it if
Mississippi river navigation Is properly
developed In th upper reaches of the
river.
Judge W. H. Munger

lag and among members of the bar.
Judg William II. Munger, the ln
sumbent. will be 70 years of age on the
13th of next October. This Is the age at
which federal Judges can retire on full

Mayor of South Omaha Gets Into the
Damage Case Brought by McNeill
Against Parents of Wife.
LETTERS BEFORE THE COURT
Thomas Hoctor, mayor of South
Omaha, yesterday figured In the evi
dence la the $15,000 damage suit
brought by George H. McNeill
against Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Jew
ell, parents of his wife, as a friend
of Mrs. McNeill, who was once cen
sured but later forgiven by her hus
band. Mayor Hoctor's name was
mentioned In testimony brought out
by attorneys for both plaintiff and
defendants.
McNeill testified tt.at h hid found his
wlf and Mayor Hoctor sitting In clos
proximity to each other In the tatter's of
fice two years ago, but that he had after
ward forgiven them. It was rot th
mayor's acts which had parted l.im and
his wife, h contended, but he asserted
the separation was due to the efforts of
her parents, whom he is suing cn the
ground of aileped alienation of her affeo
tlo'is. Mr. and Mrs. McNeill were living
in South Omaha at the time.
A letter written by McNeill to Mayor
Hoctor, In which th relations between
the latter and the husband and wife were
referred to, was Introduced In evident
and road In court. Judge Troup and at
torneys for plaintiff and defendant united
in a unanimous decision that this letter
should not be given to the public It was
locked up by order of the Judge.
Bis; and Little Fellows.
The letter began "Dear Tom" and re
ferred to a certain 'little fellow" who
had been a clos friend of a "big fellow"
who later became mayor of a city. Th
'little fellow," it said, was proud of his
friendship with the "big fellow" and of
the fact that they had office together,
and had helped the latter in his political
campaign.
But, the letter continued, the "llttlo
fellow" married, and so great was his
confidence in his greater friend that he
told him of difficulties which had arisen
between himself and his wife. . Tl "big
fellow," said the missive, cam to be in
the "little fellow's" home and after he
begun taking meals there wanted to pay
for them. The money, being refused,
then was given to the baby and was used
to buy articles for the home, it recited.
Then there came a time, sstd the letter,
when the "little fellow" reproached his
wife for making known to the "big fel
low" that money was needed for certain
purposes.
gome thing rsuse a scar upon friend
ship, continued the letter, but old friend
ships are best after all. The epistle closed
with a poem upon "Friendship" and the
expression of a hope that If the "big
fellow" should find th "llttl fellow" In
a position to do him a favor that be
should atk for 1L
Another letter was Introduced by th
defense in which McNeill told bl wife
that he believed It wss best that they
should part for at least one year.
"Vou accused your wife of being Inti
mate with Tom Hoctor and afterward
apologised to thsm both, did you not?"
Attorney Baker asked McNeill during
cross-examination.
"Well, I did not consider It was an
apology," was the reply.
