KNOCK OUT
For The Pool Rooms--West-
ern Unions Action
Put Thousands Out of Business.

The race wire has been cut OUT
and there will be nothing doing on
the Louisville races in the pool
rooms Throughout the country.
The silencing of the local wire is
part of the general order of the
Western Union and affects the en-
tire racing business as conducted
in pool rooms. The action taken
is the result of the New York cru
SADIE.
If the Western Union should
adhere to its present order in the
matter the pool-room business here,
as elsewhere, will have seen its
finish.
The effect of the Western Unions
order is far-reaching and will re-
suit in the discontinuannce of what
has been called the racing de-
partment of the Western Union
Company. This department has
collected and distributed racing
news from all the various tracks in
the country to subscribers. Here
after the company will transmit
only such messages concerning
races as are regularly filed with it
for transmission.

CHORAL CONCERT SUCCESS,
Weather, However. Dimin-
ished the Attendance

Owing 70 the disagreeable and rainy
weather not nearly SO many attended the
concert given by the Wichita Choral club
last night as was expected. Between 500
and 1,0cD. however, braved the threaten
ing weather and felt well repaid after
ward.
1t was the second of series of three
concerts given at the Toler auditorium.
The excellent work accomplished by this
chorus in the few months Of practice
showed in every number given at the
recital last night. In attack. phrasing,
shading tone, quality and Interpretation,
Max Bruch's cantata, Fair Ellen" was
admirably rendered. The soloists were
Mrs Montez Dunbar Yost and Mr..
Harry McClung Mrs. Yost sung the
Ellen" solos with good taste and fine
expression. Her beautiful voice and in
telligent Interpretation always charms an
audience. Mr.. McClung sung his three
solos, May God in His Mercy" "Ah.
Maiden" and Let Your Sword Be I'm
sheathed. in fine style. tile last one be-
ing especially dramatic. The ladies
chorus with violin obiigato. was an ex-
quisite bit of work. Miss Bessie Fox OF
Pond Creek sung the solo. Her voice is
clear and sweet and gives promise Of
greatly enjoyed. The superior work OF
Mr.. Ernest Gamble the basso, whose
company of artists were brought here by
the club 10 assist in the program, was the
feature of the evenings entertainment.
Mr. CANDLES method is perfect and his
phrasing beautiful, the purity Of his tone
exceptionally fine. In the Hayden num-
Der from the Creation his voice showed
to greatest advantage in its wide range
and ma gnificent quality. The audience
demanded double encores to each of his
numbers, to which he kindly responded.
Mr.. Gamble, although a native Of Penn
sylvania. received his education abroad,
studying in Berlin with Blume and Fer
guson, in London with HeIuschel and
Randegger in oratorio work, and in Paris
with Sbriglia, the teacher of Plancon. De
Reszke. Nordica. Mr.. Gamble is a cul-
tured gentleman and an artist.
Miss Webb, the violinist, shows a color
ing and q rmth in her playing that re-
minds on.- of her former teacher. the
late Camilla Urso. Her tone is pure.
smooth and cleara and her execution good.
She was obliged to respond to double
encores.
The pianist. Mr.. Schonert has a fawless
technic and played with fine orchestral
effect. responding to an encore with the
delicious little Kuelak octave study.
Flower to Flower and to his double
encores with dainty numbers. his peariy
runs and dainty touch being appreciated
by the enthusiastic audience.
It is TO be hoped that this choral So
ciety may become a permanent organiza-
ton in this city. Such work as was given
by them last evening is too creditable TO
be allowed to discontinue for lack of
encouragement from the citizens.
The director. Mr.. Lieb. may well feel
proud of his Wichita chorus.
The accompanies. Mrs. Gertrude Froh-
man Jones at the piano and Miss Cham
bers at the organ. deserve much praise
for the manner in which they supported
the chorusues.

news FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Missouri Pacific Commission
Calls Meeting.
TO BE HELD AT ST. LOUIS
Items of Interest About Differ
ent Employees.

The Missouri railroad commission has
sent out notices that it will meet in ST.
Louis Wednesday to take UP the COM
plants in reference to inequalities result
ing from the application by the railroads
Of the existing maximum freight rate
schedule issued by the commission effec-
tive March l. All general freight agents
have been asked to be present at the
meeting.
Probably one of the most important
subjects that will be brought before the
commission will be the demand of the live
stock shippers for the return to the Odd
system of giving free return transporta-
ton to attendants on live stock trains.
Several times before the commission has
ruled that the railroad should grant this
free passage, but at the beginning of the
present year the roads decided that they
would discontinue the practice. The
ma ximum freight rate schedule issued by
the commission contained no clause re
quiring the roads to grant these favors
TO the stockmen, and they took advan-
tage of the situation. A great deal of
dissatisfaction has arisen among the live
stock shippers as result and they have
signifed their intention of appearing be-
fore the board and making demand that
the railroad return to the system of Civ
ing the free return passage.
Many jobbing centers also will make
complaints to the commission because in
CAPABILITIES have arisen, and certain cities
are getting better rates proportionately
than others. The commission will also
hear any complaint as to express rates
existing in the state.
Whom the commission published its
maximum freight rates schedult, 1t con-
tanned a clause stating that all conflict
ing rulings would be superseded, and the
railroads have construed this to mean
that all previous rulings and statutes on
rates not included In the schedule would
be discontinued The commission has al
ready ruled in some instances that pre-
vious rates and rulings not in 0irect con-
fict with the last issue are still in effect.
In the schedule no mention was made of
commodity rates. and the railroads abol-
shed those in vogue and raised the rates.
The commission has since issued an
amendment to the schedule adding COM
modify rates on -four, agricultural imple-
ments and farm wagons The full signi-
ficance of this is not clearly understood
unless it is the commissions intention TO
add to the present schedule Of maximum
rates all commodity rates previously is
sued by special ruling and authorized by
sta tute
