THE APOLLO CONCERT

To make a concert a success requires
first Of all a program consisting Of those
elements which make q complete and
well Unbalanced whole. It was the lack
of some Of these elements in the con-
cert given by the Apollo club at the
First Baptist church last evening, that
largely prevented that success which
might have been secured. To be sure
the club work was not quite up to It's
usual high standard, but the program
did not contain anything that could
properly be characterized as calculated
to arouse much enthusiasm The open
ing number, Dudley Bucks ''Bugle
Song'' from the Princess and Filke g
'The Crusaders Departure,' which
closed the program did not arise to the
dignity Of really serious work. Inc

especially suited to such work. J. Vic

and those Of Gustavus johnson on the
piano were Of unusual excellence. By

incidental cornet solos in the first num-
Der. .,.
The soloists Of the evening were Mrs.
Ruth Thayer Burnham, and Claude A.
Cunningham, the brilliant young Eng
lish barytone, who was first heard here
with Patti on her last "farewen tour.
Mrs. Burn'ham's first number was an
aria from Bemberg's opera "Joan of
Arc.'' Her voice is sweet and clear,
with a peculiar bell-like resonance in
the upper tones that is charming. The
prano than to a contralto, but was not
the less suited to Mrs. Burnham g voice
on this account. The same thing might
be said Of her second number, a group
Of ballads. The Bemberg aria which IS
largely written in recitative style, is
new here, as is Berger's "Waldnacht -
which is more brilliant.
Mr.. Cunningham more than justified
the good opinion formed of him here. His
voice is a fresh, smooth, lyric barytone
of wide compass, and especially beauti-
best in lyric. and ballad Interpretation

THE FEDERLEIN RECITAL

Gottfried II. Federlein gave his third
organ recital last evening at St. Paul s
church and proved again his
real ability and musical discrimination.
The results he obtained were good tho
somewhat limited by the capacities of
the organ. A greater [boldness and
more daring freedom would add to Mr..
Federlein 8 work and relieve it. of per-
vading grayness Of tone.
~ The best number Of the evening was
Rheinberger s Pastoral Sonata. -
The intermezzzo, e tender, sincere, sub
lime. in feeling was thoroly artistic and
the fugue movement which followed was
particularly clear in it's precision. Mr.
Federlein gave his own arrangement of
the "a dfinuetto . from Haydn $
g String quartet in b. 90 - This is an in
teresting bit of transcription and only
occasionally does it become heavy and
lose that pure quality which is dis
tinctively Haydn g. The rendition
given tended to a happy impression.
The reading Of Lemaigre g "Andante
Religiosoo was earnest and full Of feel

W. Scott Woodwork assisted Mr..
Federlein with two vocal numbers,

in part exceedingly well suited to Mr.
Woodworth IS voice and the audience
had a most effective rendition.

GEO. SUREN PREDICTS

Spring is here for good according to
George W. Suren whose unique ideas on
the fat world theory and weather pre-

standard.
Mr.. Suren has forecast the weather
conditions for the next eleven days.
These forecasts he states are for this
locality rather than specifically for this
city. They will furnish an interesting
study when compared with the govern

A Railroad Argument.

Mr.. George R. Peck, general counsel
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul
railway, presented the railroad side OF
the government regulation question at
a dinner Of the Union Legal club in
Chicago last night. Mr.. Peck is an
able lawyer, brilliant speaker, and
no one is better qualified to argue the
railroad side of this question. What
he said is doubtless the best that can
be said on that side Of the question,
and vet we do not believe it is going to
be satisfactory to the general public
or persuade the people that no further
regulation is needed or ought to be
attempted.
After claiming that rebates had prac-
tically ceased to exist, Mr.. Peck said:
Bear in mind that the giving Of pref
erences to one shipper over another IS
not illegal at common law Competl-
petition never gave equal advantages
TO all, Its very foundation is in pref
serences. The anomaly Of the present
situation is that the law requires com
petition and prohibits the steps neces-
sary to procure it. -.s- x =, 2
We are not going to dispute with
Mr.. Peck what is or is not illegal at
common law, but we are willing to
stand for the proposition that a rail-
road company, chartered By the the state
and created to do public service, has
no right to. discriminate between ship
pers, and that, while such diserimina-
ton has existed in the past the time
lis sure TO come when it will be entirely
eliminated. so far, indeed, from dis
elimination between shippers promoting
competition, it seems to us directly de-
structive Of legitimate competition.
The shipper Disseminated against is
placed at disadvantage with his com
petitor by an agency created by the
state on the theory that it will exer-
else it's powers fairly as between all
citizens of the state It is this dis.
termination which Mr.. Peck speaks Of
and would justify which has destroyed
compel iitionz and created monopoly. J.
Speaking as a lawyer, Mr.. Peck com
bats vigorously the comforting Of the
rate-making power upon the interstate
/ commerce commission, because it in
wolves the concentration Of legislative
judiciary and executive power in one
body, a consolidation which our system
of government has been careful t.

sums up thus:
Meanwhile-for one must ciose-save for what
threat may lurk in courts and commerce commits
sions, president driven to their duty. the harves-
ter trust with its railroads, its steamships and
Its bank allies, is managing an annual export
trade Of $21 000, 900; is doing yearly domestic
business of SOC, 600, 600: Is borrowing money at
and per cent; is killing competition: Is sti-
fling invention as threatening expense; is pressing

Present Rate Of Japanese immigration
In 1900 the census showed 24,S75 Jap
anese in the continental United States,
and Gill in Hawaii On the most liberal
estimate there may possibly be $4,000 ali
told now, says Golfers Weekly for April
Is. That Is about the size of our irnr1i-
grafton from Russia in the last eight
months Some people would rather have
the japanese. They are more enterpris-

They take hot; baths every day, while
some OFF, Europe an immigrants object
to having their children bathed, on the
ground that they are sewed up for the
winter. Japanese are now arriving at San
Francisco at. the rate of about 500 a
month, and at least half as many are
going back home. But for some time to
come We are likely to get only driblets
of Japan's surplus population. She sent

avoid by separating these functions Of;
government into three separate depart
ments. From q legal standpoint Mr..
Peck s. proposition maybe altogether
sound. It issnot, after all, SO much al
question gwh neither all this power should
be concentrated into one agency as
whether it shall be exercised at all by
the creation Of the necessary machinery
distributed among representatives Of
the three departments of the govern
ment. Y: ,.-& - I'D s u Va. III
But one Of the most Interesting pas
sages in. Mr.. Peck's argument is the.
point recently raised with regard to the
provisions of the constitution prohibits
ing the giving Of a preference to the
ports Of one state over the ports of.
any other state by any regulation Of.
commerce. To illustrate, railroads
leading to New Orleans have recently
been carrying freight at rates alleged to-
be discriminatory against New York and
other Atlantic ports. Railroads have
heretofore been accused Of making rates
to southern Atlantic ports discriminatory
against New York. Under government
regulation and rate-making, it is
claimed by Mr.. Peck and others, such
discrimination would be impossible and
the shippers of the west would be de-
prived of the advantages of the low
rates to gulf ports because such pref
erence would be discrimination between
the ports of one state as against the
ports Of another. Whether this con-
stitutional provision has anything to do
with the regulation Of internal COM
merce is legal proposition which may
require judicial discrimination, but from
a layman 8 standpoint we are very much
inclined to the view that the constitu-
ton makers never intended that the
power Of the government to regulate in
ternal commerce should be made inef-
fective and valueless by a regulation
contrived long before there were any
railroads in the country, before steam
had been applied to transportation IN
any form, and which was doubtless In
tended to apply solely to port charges
| customs and items Of that character.
