Documents made available to-day from the official files of the govern ment show that Outxon Borglutn, the sculptor, whose charges against the aircraft program have led to the Im pending inquiry, had been con nected with negotiations for the es tablishment of a new air craft pro ducing corporation In which he was to be a silent partner. Negotiations between Borglum, Hugo Gibson, connected with the British war mission in the TTnited States, and Kenyon Mix, of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, of Wisconsin, began last December, the documents show. A statement by Mix. included in the documents, tells how he withdrew after becom ing suspicious of Borglutn's activities and reported the affair to Howard Coffin, then head of the aircraft pro duction board. The documents which have been supplied from the official files of the war department and now are In the hands of Senators most inti mately connected with the aircraft investigation, declare that Borglum continued his negotiations after President Wilson authorized him to make an inquiry into the aircraft situation A summary of the negotiations sigbned by Henryl Harrison Suplee, who participated as a consulting en gineer for Mix. declared Borglum was to be represented in the cor corporation by a Mr. Harris and that Borglum's "sole asset in the transaction was to be first his per sonal friendship and association with President Wilson, whom he stated he could do anything he wanted with." "As a further asset," Suplee's state ment declares, "Borglum gave every one concerned in this matter to un derstand that his position with the aircraft production board and the aerial section of the signal corps. I". S. A., was .nich that he could ob tain for their use plans and techni cal details which this company could use and thus save considerably, hoth in time and in money in beginning operations. This statement, the documents show was made to Mix after Bor glum had shown his presidential au thority as investigator and at this point the suspicions of Mix were aroused and he withdrew from the negotiations. The documents also declare Bor glum told Mix that "through his friendship with the White House and acquaintance with Mr. Gibson, the engineer in the employ of the British ministery of munitions, he would have access to the best foreign and American designs and prac tices." • Suplee's statement further declare? that Borglum gave him to under- * Stop Itching Eczema ===^ Never mind how often you have tried and {ailed, you can stop burning, itching eczema quickly by applying a li ttle zemo furnished by any druggist lor 35c.

The work of ingathering wiU con tinue. There are a number of de- ! cisions on Sunday. At an executive | ii eeting of the Teen Age and class officers of one of the city teen age 1 departments there were six of the> officers converted. The appeal to j them was to prepare for leadership: I you need Christ in these new tasks and coming days. This appeal al- j ways wins with young people. There i is no excuse for a single unchurched , Sunday school scholar from 9 to 20 years of age except indifference, and lack of co-operation on the part of parents and teachers and ministers.

It's All In The Philadelphia Inquire] PENNSYLVANIA'S GREATEST NEWSPAPER Have THE INQUIRER Delivered at Your Home Every Mornin A With Choir and Organist The musical event of the coming week will be the organ recital by David Edgar Crosier, organist of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Phila delphia, In Market Square Presbyte rian Church. Originally It was de termined to give the recital on Tues day, but the date conflicted with several Important affairs listed for the week of May 12, and It was thought wise to have the Crozter re cital on Thursday evening. For many years Mr. Crozier was Inti mately associated with the musical life of Harrisburg. not only as or ganist. llrst at Market Square, then at Pine Street, but as a most helpful figure in the Harrisburg Choral So ciety, which yearly sang one of the really big oratorios. He was the ac companist under Dr. Gilchrist. There is likely to be a large gathering of musical people to hear Mr. Crozier. who will be attracted to Market Square not only by the personal mag entism of the organist, but through a desire to swell the Red Cross re ceipts as well. Ira Behney, leader of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Men's Glee Club, has taken charge of the Curtln Heights Methodist choir, assuming the duties last Sunday. Mr. Behney is likely to wear well with the Methodists uptown unless poor attendance of his singers affects his happy disposition. Mr. Behney has long been a leading musical factor in music circles In this city. He had been mentioned in connection with the leadership of Covenant Presbyterian Church choir, '!ilch is still vacant and further weakened by the resignation of Mrs. Harris, leading soprano, and her hus band. the choir's tenor. Robert S. Smith has assumed charge of the singing at Zion Lu theran Sunday school, which the late Edwin J. Decevee made so wonder fully attractive for a long term of years. Mr. Smith had been leading the Sunday school singing for West minster Church in connection with the leadership of the chufch choir. Mrs. Phoebe Turner, leader of Christ Lutheran choir, is a sister of Mr. Smith and there was genuine regret when botl- these talented vocalists left the Westminster fold to give their services elsewhere. Both are mem bers of the Reily and Green streets congregation. Two choirs are to sing Dudley Buck's "Sing Alleluia Farth in Dutious Praise," to-morrow. At Westminster Presbyterian Church this anthem will be sung in the morning and at Reformed Salem in the e\ening. At Westminster the FO'O parts will be taken by Miss Sel lers. Mrs. Romberger and Mr. Shantz rnd at Salem by Mri. livers, Mr. Foifna and Mr. Watson. The num ber is one of the best of Buck's shorter anthems. FIX E RECEIVE DIPLOMAS Liverpool, Pa., May 11. —High school commencement exercises were , held last night in the Methodist Church when the fololwing received diplomas: Lee Shuler, valedictory; Margaret Heimbacher, salutatorian; Margaret Stailey, Myrtle Mengle and Charles Kerstetter. The diplomas were presented by James L. Snyder, president school board, and the com mencement address was made by Dr. George Fisher, of Susequehanna University. As noted In the news columns of the Telegraph during the week, Walter E. Dietrich has given up the leadership of Stevens Memorial choir. What permanent action will be taken by the official board of the church toward Ailing the vacancy Is not clear at this time. A precentor may be chosen. Then, again, there may be a return to the chorus choir. There is a splendid body of male singers at Stevens .Memorial, and the services of the men may be enlisted until definite arrangements have been concluded. The solution of the' church music problem has been tried often. The quartet choir Is by far the best solution. The responsibility is minimized, the pastor is better satisfied usually unless his desire to retain members of the church by keeping them active in a volunteer choir overwhelms his desire for the best music, the rehearsals are more satisfactory and the music usually much better than that obtained from volunteer effort. Market Square choir will sing J. Varley Roberts' "Seek Ye the Lrf>rd." at the service to-morrow morning. This anthem opens tenor solo, pleading and effective, followed by ensemble singing beautifuly har monized. The number 1s sung when ever the compositions of English writers appeal to choirs and choir masters. Mrs. Joseph Hays, who was Miss Sara Miller and one of the most gifted of Harrisburg's younger so prano singers under the instruction of Mrs. Roy G. Cox, has dropped out of the musical activities of the cities for a season. Mrs. Hays is now in Philadelphia, where she is visiting friends. She has been heard both in Market Square and Zion Lutheran choirs. > D. L* Bowers, who had been sing ing with St. Stephen's Episcopal choir for a number of year.', is now heard with the choir of Westminster Presbyterian Church. Mr. Bowers is one of not a few newcomers to Har liaburg who haye had wide experi | once elsewhere. I''or a number of years he was the leading church ! tenor of Spokane, Wash., and pre- I vious to that had sung in vested I choirs in Roston anl New York. Of course, the singing of Mendels sohn's oratorio of "St. Paul," under the direction of Frank A. McCarrell, last Tuesday evening at Tech audi torium was a mUoical event of inter est. and Importance. The solos were quite effectively presented, Mr. Mc- Carrell wisely assigning theni to his quartet of so>o voices, heard with so much pleasure at. Pine Sireet Pres byterian Chmch each Sunday.
