f Band Gives New Version of Song Music at Assembly Has Novel Touches It was a different version of “As j Sit and Dream at Evening” with which Walter L. Ferris ’ emerald and topaz band opened yesteday’s as scrablv program. In a steadier tem 0 and minus the repetitive “oft jeoalledS,” the dreamy song was adapted to the band instruments. When the next number with its undercurrent of throbbing drum beats began, the audience consult ed its program with a collective and puzzled frown, not recognizing the stanza of “Mighty Oregon.” Not until the instruments had marched into the swinging chorus did the grimace completely relax. The Overture to Friederich Flo tow’s “Martha” struck a moro dig nified operatic tempo, with its carefully modulated phrasing. The short and capricious, whimsy “Keep Sweeping the Cobwebs off the Moon,” introduced a group of three Bemick songs, of which “Auf Wie dersch’n” was the second, a selec tion in which sounded the faint shuffle of waltzing evening slip pers and once a strain of the war time melody, “ ’Til Wo Moot Again.” The group ended in the melodic branches of “The Sing Song Sycamore Tree.” The Norwegian mood character ized the “Sigurd Jorsalfac” suite of Edward Grieg. The first num ber, “Vorspiel” (Introduction), was merely a prelude to the subterran ean rumblings which were soon sub merged by the clarinets’ higher notes, in the “Intermezzo” (Barg liild’s Dream). The audience was most enthusiastic about the “Hul digungsmarseli” (Triumphal March) with its recurring, familiar strain and exalted, exulting mood. The selection from Otto Ilauor bach and Rudolf Friml’s rollicking musical farce, “High Jinks,” was omitted due to the proximity to the luncheon gong, and the band crash ed into John Phillip^ Sousa’s “The U. S. Field Artillery,” which set umbrellas to tapping and brogues to thudding. What made the “Artil lery” the most surrising of tho se lections however, was tho pistol that unexpectedly blazed at the back of the stage and made the occupants of the center section (start, and then gigglo self-consciously. The only really conventional Ipart 'of the program was the denouement, the singing of “The Pledge Song.” L, 0. Wright Entertains Language Department Professor and Mrs. L. O.

Neither of the condemned men had any comment to make when James Lewis, warden of the prison, broke the news to them in their death cells. Although the governor's refusal to interfere with the court decision sentencing the two men to hang was made known Wednesday afternoon and the news was given to the pub lic last night, the two men most con cerned in the fateful announcement were kept in ignorance of this latest development in their long fight to escape the gallows until after they had breakfasted this morning. Prison officials /declared that they saw no reason for interfering with the sleep of the men by telling them of the governor’s statement last night. The execution will be staged at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, only newspaper men and a few in vited officials to be present in the execution chamber, in addition to poison officials in charge of the ex ecution. (By United Press) SALEM, Ore., April 19. — James Willos and Ellsworth Kelley, con demned convicts who have evaded death sentonees four times, will hang tomorrow. The last hope the two men had of going to prison for life instead of dying disappeared last night when Governor I. L. Patterson issued a statement declaring he would not in terfere with the decree of the courts. The governor reviewed the history of the crime, involving the murder of two prison guards in a break for liberty. Kelley and Willos were scheduled to die the last time Friday, April l'-j, but the governor granted a last minute r/eprieve when advised that members of the Oregon supreme court would recommend that the sentence be commuted to life im prisonment. Later the members of the supreme court denied that any recommenda tion would be made and said they stood on the findings of the court which sustained convictions of lower courts. Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Kelley of Grants Pass, parents of Ellsworth Kelley, and Mrs. L. Y. Goode of Portland, a social worker who had sought commutation for the pair, visited the penitentiary and spent a- half hour with the prisoners late today. A brother of Willos also paid a final visit to the condemned man. R. O. T. C. Inspected By Major E. C. Waddill Major E. C. Waddill, in charge of the R. O. T.
