WOULD FIGHT TRUSTS.
Judge Parksr's Views Set Forth By
 Elliot Danforth.

Washington, May 7.-Elliot Dam forth of New York city, one of the closest political advisers of David B. Hill and an intimate friend of Judge Parker, gave an interview yesterday which evidently is designed to put be- fore the country Judge Parker's views oil tn isues between the parties.
 MT Danforth, in the course of his interview, said that while recently a v.titor at Esopus, N. Y., he had had a conversation with Judge Parker, in which the latter had expressed opin- ions, which briefly summarized are as follows:
 He is i'll favor of reducing customs duties wherever they shelter the trusts, and wherever they enable law~ less capital to wiring extordonate prices from the consumer.
 He insists that whatever American manufacturers by means of monopol- istic tariff are enabled to charge at home prices higher than those accepts ed abroad duties should be reduced
 He would ''smite the subsidy mon- ster wherever it might lift it's head.'s He believes that the solution of the trust problem would be facilitated by wise revision of the tariff.
 He would insist on the use of state powers to regulate the trusts when these are within state boundaries.
 Wherever the interstate law or anti trust law was violated he would en@ force the federal law.
 He would let the south solve it's own problems, and is in heartiest sympathy with it.

Deducting the losses at Baltimore, Rochester and Toronto, the losses thus far this year by the ordinary fires would aggregate $60, ,966, ,350, or some eight million dollars more than the sum charged against the first four months of 1903.
 During the month of April there were 206 fires of a greater destructive, ness, each, than $10,000.
 It will be seen from the above ex- hibit that the fire underwriters have suffered very severely during 1904, and, notwithstanding the enormous drains upon their assets, no general in crease of insurance rates has been made. There appears to be decided difference of opinion as to the system upon which such an advance should be made, and in fact some companies seem to quietly oppose such action altogeth- CT. Clearly, the fire underwriting out look is not bright,

SENIOR CLASS ENTET-
 PAYMENT LAST NIGHT

There was fair sized audience pres ent at the entertainment which was given in the assembly hall In the High schNol building last night for the bene- lit of the senior class. Miss Edith Davies of New York, the talented vo- calist and elocutionist, furnished the entertainment, which was of a decided ly pleasing and refreshing nature Miss Davies possesses a sweet singing voice, of which she has full control She sings with much expression and de- lights her hearers with the charms of her voice. She recites finely. her pro- nunciation being distinct and her man nerisms very pleasing. Her singing and her readings last night were warm ly received.
 A feature of the entertainment was the appearance of Miss Winnifred Richardson, who graduated from the local High school in the class of 1900 She delivered recitation and had to respond to several encores. Miss Rich ardson possesses fine ability as re- citer, her voice being well modulated and her gestures being done with grace and style.
 The program was as follows;
 Miss Davies. Song. 1-"The Gypsy.'
 2-"Love's Solace."
 3-"A Dream. Reading Happy Little Cripple" Intermission.
