financial statement which, the letter said,
was "prepared by our auditors." sir.
Hamilton wrote that the statement was
a preliminary accounting and added:
"The auditors uro now preparing a final
signed statement of accounts which I
hope will bo ready before Saturday."
Mr. Smith saya he believes this llnal

was December. 4 when Chessman Kit

"It differed materially from the previ

Accounting "Somrivhat .Veglecled''
Mr. Smith says that Marwlck
Mitchell, Peat & Co. make no accusa
tions ot dishonesty, but say that the
accounting for contributions and dis
bursements has been somewhat neg
lected. Humllton Fish und Philip Lydlg,
who organized the A. A. In It., havo not
been actively connected with It for some
time.
Miss rcisa Maxwell won actively con -
nected with It during the-summer, when
It was doing some successful stunts,
such as keeping u Busslan ambulance
out In front of the Public Library In
Forty-second street, where slathers of
money waa collected 'by some young
aoldlern in attendance. MIsh Maxwell
resigned from tho organization In Octo

day, but has not beren there since. At
her home, S61 Madson avenue. It wai
said yesterday that she was out.
Hero Land flourished yesterday in
spite of the storm, which couldn't keep
crowds from coming. Hundreds of
laughing soldlerM and civilians, with
girls and women, dashed In dripping and
snowy, and soon forgot how wet they
bad been. It was Lithuanian day, and
the guests of honor were Dr. Hans Suls.
riwlim Minister to the United States, and
George S. Duarte, Portuguese Consul

thn little theatre on the fourth floor, and
watched a hundred Italian children from

BOSTON SYMPHONY
'LAME' IN ANTHEM
Dr. Muck and His Orchestra
Apparently in Full Keepinjr
With tho Weather.
The second afternoon concert of tho
Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carncglo
Hall yesterday afternoon was a atudv In !
moods. The first waa that of lugubrious '
.i i..
depression In which Dr. Karl Muck con
ducted the national anthem of this coun
try. The stars werp dim and It was not
easy to aec that the flag was still there.
The musicians from Boston really ought
to buck un n bit and ahow a more aan-!
gulno spirit when they come here.
The nezt moods wero thosa ef Kdward
MncDcAVvIl, originated by hla contem
plation of Indian music. Ills "Indian
Suite" is familiar. Is admired by many
and mode a theme for rhapsody by tlioae
v.-ho find in all of Mr. MacDowcll's music
the voice of aupremo cenlus. There la
a "legend"' In the aulte, and Inevitably
ii love song. There are other utterances
of Indian love.
"Ijdy Hoetska: that Is the name of
the llttlo night bird of tho desert whoso
sung you sans. When the duak comes I
think of you n Hoetska and lliten for
the call
cf the gray llttlo bird In tho
canon.
Pity that the grontes.: of American
composers cmild not have read thoro let
ters, but he wa dead before they wero
written. The Indians of MncDowell ar
best when they tight. They uro saddest
when they lore. After the aborigines
ame the eea, Pebury'n three s!etche
called "La Mer."
Now those who go down to the sea
In ships know not thoie who go down
in stopped trumpets stopped trumpets
wnicn win not stop. One grows aweary
of their snarling. But the sketches re'
somblo the suite In one quality. Both
are very, very clever.
The roncert ended with Bee thoveuVi
third "!eonorc" overture. At leatt hero
were no snarls und thn trumpet's nis
sago waa one clear clarion ch.-illenec of
Juallce charging Into tho midst of crime.
