Male Singers From AH Coast
I States Heard in Biennial Song
-Festival at The Auditorium.
Br J' I Wallln
t The, UnJtedV8wedlah Sin sera of the
Pacific Coast, a male chorus of about
200 voices, conducted by Axel pihl
ttrom of San Francisco, sang at The
Auditorium Saturday night and
thrilled and swayed an audience of
fully 3000. It was the first of
series of two concerts, the second to
be riven tonight, and it was a grand
success. '
. Mine. Marie Sldcnlus Zendtcolorature
soprano, of Chicago, was the assisting
artist, with Edarar . CoursAri and Miss
Klna Anderson the , accompanists. '
- The chorus I Composed of sintering or
sanitations from . different cities In
Oregon, Washington and California, and
the concerts mark the biennial festival
and convention of these singers, - with
whom chorus singing1 is a hobby and not
a profession, engaged In for the pleas
ure and enjoyment that they and their
friends, admirers and patrons derive
from it; and not for any personal- or
collective pecuniary gain. Funds ob
tained through concerts or otherwise are
devoted to the promotion of choral music
and with the view of making each sue
ceaaive singing festival a greater suc
cess than its predecessor. ' - - . m

While excellent choruses sang, at the
festivals held in Ban Vrsnclsco at the
time of the Panama-Pacific exposition
and at Seattle at the Alaska-Yukon ex
position and also in Portland in 905. at
the Lewis and Clark exposition, which,
by the way, marked the organisation of
the Paolflo coast body, the chorus of
this festival is not only the largest but
It may be said, without fear of contra
diction, the best. .
With a confidence born of years of ex
perience. Conductor" Plhlstrom led his
singers like a veteran who knows the
road and his goal, and everybody was
on his mettle, with the result that the
response was Instantaneous and certain.
What a volume of tone poured forth from
these 200 throats, many of them basses
of extraordinary depth ; when the di
rector, Bouna-Iike, reached out' for a
grand crescendo or a grand climax.
There was power-sufficient, it seemed, td
cause the huge building to vibrate as it
does when the great pipe organ is forced
tm Its utmost. And yet, there were
pianissimo , passages, as delicate aa if
played on muttd strings. Exjullte
nuances added the delightful variety that
one would suppose very difficult of per
formance by such a large body of voices.
VAMOl'S WORKS StTJiG
: In "Hear Us Svea" and "The March of
the BJorneborglans," two songs with
which the Swedish Uppsala university
students captured the grand prize at the
Parts choral contest in 1867. the chorus
scored ovations and the director had to
bow, acknowledgement of the applause
repeatedly, but it was in the . greater
jwork.'The Vikings" by Frlberg, that the
success was sensational. The incidental
solo in this powerful composition was
sung very ably by J. E. Wallin, bari

Mme. Zend t proved a happily chosen
soloist. While her voice is not of excep

would be a crime to, drag it into the

He cited the-coal strike InjuncUon as
n example of action taken to prevent

FIGHT BEFORE CREDENTLVLS
San Francisco, June 2.(tJ. p.)
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri to
night, in a peppery statement, declared
he would carry to the credentials com
mittee his fight for a seat In the Demo
cratic convention as delegate from Mis
souri. ' He was denied a seat by action
of the national committee this after
noon. Reed asserted that, the refusal of a
seat to- him "can be taken as nothing
more nor less than an effort to exclude
from the councils of - the party a man
whose Democracy Is unchallenged sole
ly upon the ground that In the United
States senate, acting under his oath Of
office, he Opposed the. League Of Na
tions." .', - ,
"The unfortunate part of it is," he
added, "that If the - impression gets

abroad that men ouxht to be excludfl
from participation In the Democratic
councils because they are not for -the
League of Nations as Mr. Wlleou deliv
ered it, then a large percentage of the
Democratic party throughout the nation
may feel that they are in like manner to
be excluded. ' : ,
"At the hearing before the national
committee, the sole question presented
was whether the Fifth district of Mis
souri, which regularly grlves from 10.000
to 14,000 Democratic plurality, was en
titled to two delegates.
"I- did not seek this ulace. I was
elected in the first instance during my
absence in Washington and felt that I
could do nothing lens than respond to
tne request of the largest Democratic
district in the Vnited States. The ob
jections to my credentials were purely
technical. No one was here, claiming
the seat; indeed, tho alternate refused
to take the seat to which I had been
elected and sent me a proxy author
ising me to act In his stead.
"In the argument before the national
committee, tf.e opposition, led by a
man who bolted the Democratic ticket
In 189., supported by a woman who
admitted she had not been a Democrat
for a year, and further supported by
Edward F. Coltra, national committee
man, likewise of Hoetetter bitters fam.
practically abandoned all argument
as to the legality of my credentlsls.
He based the argument against me
upon the fact that I had opposed the
League of Nations. The national com
mittee rendered a . decision under thia
state of affairs. ,
BAYS HE IS ROCK-RIBBED .
"I have been a Democrat alt my life.
I never scratched a ticket, refused to
abide by a party convention, failed to
support a party platform nor. bolted a
psrty caucus. I have so much Inter
est In the mi cocks ' of the Democratic
psrty that I view this extraordinary
action with deep regret for party rea
son alone. Personally X care nothing
about It.
"I shall "carry the matter before the
credentials committee, hoping and ex
pecting that a different spirit will
there prevail.
"In seeking this seat my sole desire
was to represent my district snd to
do what I could to promots tho writ
ing of a sound platform and the nomi
nation of a good ticket.
- "Any claim that I was rejected bo
cause of any technicality arising over
the character of my credentials sinks
Into absurdity In view of the fact that
the national committee seated two dele
gates from the Panama canal ..ion
merely because they came claiming to
represent Democrats of the sons who
had assembled ' on their own motion
without any call or authority from the
national committee.
"The committee proceeded to deny
me a seat, although I came as tlie
undisputed representative of a district,
containing 400,000 white Inhabitants snd
which regularly gives a majority with
out which the Democratic party run
not hope to carry the state of Mis
souri."
