Required Stock,
It Is Thought, Will Soon
be Subscribed.
What the Advantage of the
Building Will Be.

EXcavating for the foundation of the
proposed German-Amerlcan Music Hall
will begin in May, and it is hoped that
the building will be completed by fall.
Mr.. John Gross, whose residence is on
the site of the proposed building
southeast corner of Main and EX-
change SITS, has made arrangements
to vacate his home prior to May !. so
that no delay will be experienced in
beginning the construction work.
While the Association yet lacks $lO,-
600 to complete the required amount
of money needed, the directors have de
cided TO so ahead with the building
feeling that long before it shall have
been completed the people of Akron
will have subscribed the small short
age in stock.
The necessity of such building be-
comes more and more apparent each
day.
The structure. will he very hand
'l,o A.. - n
building will be of stone and yellow
brick, and the roof red tile or red
slate. The basement, which will be
almost entirely above the ground and
well lighted, will contain Il large ban.
quet hall with II convenient seating ca
pacity of from 500 to 6O0 a large
kitchen aud storage rooms with modern
equipments; a large rehearsal room
with stage and such other conveniences
AS are required for building of this
character. 1t viii also contain equip.
ment for gymnasium.
The first floor will contain large and
convenient ladies' and gentlcmen's rc,
ception rooms; magnificent auditor
ium with seating capacity of from
1900 to 1000 persons stage sufficient
ly large for grand opera and large chor-
uses: n modern grand concert organ
and such other cOnycnienccs as are re-
quircd in this connection.
The second floor will have music, Ii.
hrary and reading rooms connected
with very convenient gallery.
Akron has been under great disad-
vantage by not having public build
ing of this character heretofore. The
enterprise deserves the support of ev-
cry public spirited person as ii Will

Night.
49,.
Mendelssohn's Sublime
Oratorio "St. Paul.
Heard to Great Advantase-The
SoIoiSts.

MelluclSSOHli masterpiece, the sun
lime oratorio, "St. Paul' was heard
Tuesday evening at the First NJ. IL.
church by an audience composed OF
Akron's most musical people.
The score of this sacred composition
is a difficult one. It.. requires a most
careful training 10 do it justice and
without the proper leadership the best
chorus will fail in an attempt to give
il an Interpretation that will satisfy
the critical audience which is attract
ed by an oratorio of that character.
10 the credit Of the Tuesday Musical
club it should be said that the work
last evening has never been surpassed
in this city. The members OF that or
ganizatlon outdid themselves. There
were no mistakes. Miss Parsons, who
directed the chorus, had perfect con
troll of her singers. She proved Tues
day evening that she was u most wor-
thy successor of her predecessor Mrs.
Helen Storer- Collins.
Perhaps the work of the chorus was
more noticeable in the two inspiring
songs How Lovely are the Messen-
gers" and "Oh Great the Depth" AT
ter both of these there were ovations
that evidenced the thorough appreca-
| ton OF the audience.
Mrs. II. A, Soldering, contralto, was
the local solost. She was splendidly
| received. In her solo, But the Lord
Is Mindful of His own" she was at
her best. I'll is superfuous to comment
at length ON her singing. Akron peo-
pie are familiar with her voice. They
have had many opportunities to Judge
Of It's depth and beauty.
Mr.. Van YORK, of New York, Is pro.
nounccd by many, the best tenor who
has ever appeared in Akron. His
voice combines sweetness with power
and dramatic force. II is smooth and
clear. lie was heard to advantage in

oBERLIN NJ cARTER,s CASE.
His Counsel Takes Exception to the
Solicitor Generals Brief.


Judge J. NJ. Wilson, counsel for Oberlin
n Carter, fled in the United States su-
preme Court today a statement and a mo-
tion as tc the brief of Solicitor General
Richards. which WAS filed with the court
on Tuesday in opposition to the appIIca-
tion Of Carter's counsel for a writ Of ha-
beas corpus for admission of the defend
ant to bail
After setting forth the claim Of Carter
that the COurt-InartfaI before which Car
ter was convicted had no Jurisdiction in
the premises and reviewing the Solicitor
Generals brief Judge wilson continues:
In view of this broad denuncfation OF
Captain Carter by the Solicitor General
upon assertions of facts not found in any
record 10 which Captain Carter was in
anyWise party, and with reference 10
matters not before this court and which
have nothing whatever to do with the
question that is before the court, I trust
that 1 may without transcending the
bounds Of proDriety, state that Captain
Carter denies the truth OF these state
ments. asserts that he is innocent of the
offence with which the Solicitor General
charges him, and that he is ready, will
ing, and anxious to try the question as 10
whether he IS or is not guilty Of having
conspired against the Government and
ernbezzIed its moneys, before any civil
tribunal, anywhere and at any time that
the Government will afford him an OPP
portunfty to be heard, and challenges
the Government to afford him such an
opportunity
If the Government knows, or believes
il knows, what the Solicitor General has
stated. alluded TO above, there can be no
difficulty in having this matter of his
suit or Innocence Of these charges deter
mined by tribunal that would have fulI
jurisdiction. and guided by rules that
have been long established for the fur
therance Of Justice
Il respectfully submit this brief 1saper,
because J have thought I wouI0 be
doing my duty toward Captain Carter if
permitted these most extra ordinary
statements. made IL the most unusual
way. to stand upon the files of this court
unchaTenSed. and therefore move the
court to strike the brief of the Solicitor
General from the files as irrelevant and
scandalous-

MAYVILLE, \. y, April Is.-A conda-
grafton is in progress in this city, and,
despite the best efforts Of the fire depart
ment and citizens, wholesale damage has
been done by the flames
The fire started this morning in a bUsi-
ness block adjoining the county jail and
spread with alarming Tapfdity. The in
mates OF the prison Immediately became
panic-stricken and the sheriff summoned
a posse and removed the prisoners in
irons to the basement of his residence.
Soon afterward the flames spread to the
jail and the residence of the sheriff was
threatened. Then the Prisoners were tax
en- out into the open and anfarmed guard
of deputies appointed to wateh over them
The Chautauqaa county faiI, the resi-
dence of the sheriff the AIayviIIe opera
house, the plant of the MagviIle ''Senti-
nell and several business Hooks are al
ready in ruins and the fire has not been
checked 1t is feared that the flames viii

TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN.
Orders Issued to Reduce the Force
in the PhEIinnIncS.


The first evidence that the War Depart
ment officially considers the fnsurTection
in the Philippines at an end ana that no
more trouble is expected in those ISLANDS
is found in a cablegram sent by Secre-
taTy Root to General Macarthur today
ordering him to reduce the force in the
archipelago to 5000 men Immediately
The cablegram also directs that three
regiments, one Of infantry, one of artil-
United States with the returning voiun-
teer regiments The regular infantry
regiments ordered home are the Four
teenth. Eighteenth and Twenty-third.
The Fourth Regiment Of Artillery com
prising four batteries, and the Fourth
Cavalry are the other commands selected
to return
Orders have been issued to the conman-
deTs of the various recruiting stations and
military posts throughout the country
that no more of the newly recruited Tegi-
ments are to be sent to the Philippines
except on occasions when regiments al
ready there are permitted to return to the
United States because OF two or more
years service abroad. The new regiments
will be kept on garrison duty IN this
country Until called for.
Another important order contained in
the cabIegram is to the effect that Cen
erai Macarthur must stop the recruiting
Of Filipinos, or other natives Of the ar
chioeIago. and that those now in the ser
vice be mustered out as soon as possible.

Although a vote has not been taken
by the advisory board, there IS a gen
eraI impression that the crisis has been
passed and that mutual concessions will
restore peaceful conditions in the steel
manufacturing world.
The vote viii certainly not b taken
until late this afternoon and perhaps
not before this evening, but there are
few who believe that it will be a vote
for war The leaders say that only an
unlocked for disagreement can bring
about the strike order

morning said that the Stock Quotation
Telegraph Company announced that il
had been informed by the head Of the
AmaIgamated Association that there
would be no strike Of the employees of
