At meeting of the Protestant pastors
of Middlebury, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted.
"We, pastors of Middlebury churches, view
with alarm the rapid increase of divorce
ami re.marriage, injurious alike to home,
church and society.
"Believing that we can best serve the
cause OF Him whom we represent by dis
couraging the re-marriage OF divorced per-
sons, we express our unwilingness TO marry
any person, who has a husband or wife still
living II such husband or wife has been put
away for any cause arising after marriage.
This shall not apply to the innocent party
in divorce for adultery, or to two parties
once divorced seeking to be REMARKED"

TO PRESIDENT

CHICAGO, April 30-Anticipatine
that to-day's peace conferences In
Mayor Dunne's Office would be futile
the Chicago Federation of Labor, with
out waiting for the announcement OF
the result of the negotiations, appealed
to President Roosevelt and Governor
Deneen for assistance in the teamsters
strike.
Fearing that troops will be sent to
Chicago to preserve order during the
strike. the labor organization has
asked both the President and the Gov
ernor to investigate the situation in
Chicago before taking any such action.
A committee was appointed, with or
ders to communicate at once with both
the President and Governor Deneen.
President Roosevelt will visit Chicago
on May s, but 1t is the intention of the
labor body to get into communication
with him Immediately.

Mayor Dunno and his peace committee,

the strike was an absolute failure, and
all peace negotiations, for the present
at least, have been declared off.
Indications are tonight that the
strike is certain to spread. Both sides
seem determined in the stand they
have taken. All members of the En-
ployers' Association will insist upon
their union teamsterS making deliv-
cries to the concern already involved
in the strike A refusal on the part of
any driver to comply with this request,
the employers declare, will be met with
instant dismissal. The Teamsters' I'm
ion has declared that in every instance
where union teamster is discharged
for this reason every union driver en-
ployed by the firm making the dis
missal will be ordered on strike.
Nine hundred extra policemen will be
put on duty in the downtown. district
tomorrow morning.
Early to-day a mob of 500 men and
boys headed by number of striking
teamsters raided the main stables of

! was the Weber overture, "Jubel," and
through the efforts OF the aforemen-
toned ushers it elected three encoreS,
granted by the conductor with the
aplomb of a Sousa. The Lassen Fest
overture and two numbers by the con-
ductor. one a hyely two-step, Prince
Charming were also on the list.
Everything was played in the same
fashion, and il is entirely fortunate
that the festival does not by any means
depend wholly upon its band numbers
for its success. When the children S
chorus with It's 5000 baby voices and
the adult chorus of 1000 voices are to
be heard. as they will be every evening
this week (the children this and Satur-
day afternoons), the festival will offer
that which viii be amply worth hear
ing.
The soIoists with the band did
heroic work last night. In Franz n.
Huffman there is tenor with very
pleasing voice and method, though he
does not succeed in filling the big
place. He sang very well the Walther
Prize Song" and fully deserved the
encore received. Mrs. Emma Part
ridge is the soprano and has plenty
of voice fairly well cultivated. She
gave a somewhat pretendons render
ing Of ocean, Thou Mighty Monster,
ana was 6nCOTcO. L he ObHcI oOlOlSN
was Bohumir Kry1, who plays the
cornet cleverly. He gave the Car
nixal of Venice"
This afternoon the children will be
heard for the first time, and, despite
the defections of the band, the acous-
tic wonders of the Pavilion, and any
other unfavorable circumst2 nces,
there will be TO hear something this
afternoon that one may not hear again
IN q lifetime.

clared Mayor Schmitz in his introduc-
Z tory speech at the opening of the May
Festival Of Music at the Mechanics

AThe lines Band, with its three ac-
lcOmlany1ng soloists, gave last night
the sbpening concert Of the festival

about a third OF the seats and helped
an exceptionally aolebodied CORPS OF

duty lies that way. Mr.. Innes fifty

balsnced- II is Mr- 1nnes that is the
natter One Knows that il is no fun

scouetic jungle at the Pavilion.
Creatore tried Il and came out only
second best. Rivela had a try at il
with q new music-shell and achieved
only fair result. Mr.. Innes tried il
last night and with a slack beat got
generally laid out
One had a taste, however, Of what
the Innes band can do when Mr. Ron
c0vierf took the baton for a moment.
RoncOriers is neither a Sousa nor z
Creators. but he picked uD that band
last night with q march composed by
himself to the tune OF the only musical
playing that was done. Some clever
players there are in the band, and some
splendid instruments. and with the
spirited conducting Of Mr. Roncovieri
IN ais bright little march things wax
ened I'D for a moment
But Innes himself seems to me to
want in most OF the essentials of good
conducting. Magnetism he has none
his beat Is uncertain, his readings
without authority, distinction or mu-
sicianliness.

A RICH HAUL

While Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bone
were enjoying themselves at the thea
ter last evening two burglars gained an
entrance to their home at 1909 Webster
street and stole $500 worth of jewelry.
1t was evident by the manner in which
the intruders ransacked the house that
they expected to make a good haul.
Fortunately, however, the burglars
either grew careless in their work or
were scared off, for they overlooked
$1,000 worth of jewelry and the family
silverware, which was stored away.
Among the articles stolen from the
house were two watches, four dia-
mond rings, a diamond brooch and
some smaller trinkets. Entrance to
the house was made through a side

The tentative opening last night II
the great May Festival for the benefit

several hundred people~to Mechanics

preliminary to the real beginning OF
the big show to-day. 1t gave a chance
TO start the various officials and en-
ployes in their work, so that they will
be able to handle the big crowds that
are expected from to-day until the end
of the festival.

been well arranged and from every
one OF the thousands of c.,airs a per-
feet view can be obtained of the plat
form and the music can be heard from
the most remote seats as well as from
the closer ones The volume of sound
