Band Concert

The concert given by Prof
Hopfner's Cadet band Tuesday
evening was not as literally pat.
ronized as it should have been
The program was a musical
treat, as well as striking evi
dence of the progress made by
the youngsters who compose the
band and orchestra classes.
Prot. Hopfner has shown what
he can do with the raw material
which he has organized into a
band, and taking INFO considera-
ton the fact of the youth of the
members the results already at
tanned are of the most gratifying
character, and Indicate what
will be accomplished in the fu-
ture by practice and proper in

and the boys were disappointed
In the attendance at the concert,
as they were relying on the ben
ett to help them pay some of
their running expenses. They
believe that if the people of Mil.
bank wish to keep the band or
ganized they should be willing to
give it some financial support.
There is considerable expense in
keeping up the band. and the in
dividual members of the organ.
ganization are willing to do their
share, but are unable to do it all,
aud if the people are not willing
to aid in this when an opportun-
ity like the benefit concert is
given. then they rightly reason
that the citizens do not care to
keep up the organization. We
do not think this is true of cit
liens generally, and we trust
that in some substantial way the
band may be recognized and
given hearty support in it's
work.

School Officers Meeting

The annual school officers
meeting was held at the opera
house last Tuesday afternoon,
and was we'll attended, a large
number of school officers and
teachers being present. The
opera house had been engaged
for the occasion, but there was a
failure to get the room heated,
and the audience had to sit with
their oyercoats and wraps on.
State Supt. Ustrud gave a
stereopticon talk, the pictures
presenting the different phases
of school conditions in the state,
showing some of the splendid
high schools IN several of the
cities of the state, and a number
of county schools in various con
ditions, the speaker pleading for
more inviting surroundings and
better equipments and more
and better accommodations
for the boys and girls in the
country, and advocating the cen
+ allied school with high sci DOL
privileges wherever this could
be provided for.
Mr.. A. G.. Swanson, who was
to have talked on the centralized
school for townships, was unable
to be present on account Of sick
ness in his family. but had pre-.
pared a paper on the subject,
which Supt. Kerr read. The
writer believed thai the central
lied high school could be made a
success in some communities,
but as nc practical demonstra
ton of this had yet been made
in this locality it would be we'll
to give the matter further inves-
tigation, and suggested that q
committee be appointed to
gather facts and report at next
annual meeting. Sometime was
consumed on this question and a
vote upon the appointment Of a
committee was defeated.
j. F. Olander, chairman Of the
STATE beard of examiners, gave q
talk on the scarcity of teachers.
and stated that in some counties
there were over so per cent re-
tjections. He placed The cause
of the scarcity as dating
back several years, when
teachers salaries were not AIDE
quate, aud teachers had been
forced into other occupations,
aud the new recruits to the
teaching force had not been able
to keep up to the demand. T! e
speaker answered several ques
tions as to truancy, etc, gave
the teachers some good advice
as to standing by contracts they
had signed for positions, stating
that the board would not issue
certificates to teachers who
failed to regard their contracts,
or who falsitied their papers.
Mr.. ArOnson, who was to talk
on teachers wages, stated that
he was unable to say much on
the subject. but thought that
perhaps the convention itself
might make a satisfactory sche.
dule of salaries.

DENIES REPORTS OF ANTI
DYNASTIC PLOTS IN SERVlA
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-Owing to the
widespread reports in European capi-
tails that Servia is being shaken by
anti-dynastic plots threatening King
Peter with a tragic fate similar to that
of his predecessor, the Associated Press
telegraphed to the president OF the
council of ministers and Minister for
Foreign Affairs M. Pasics for a state
ment on the actual condition of affairs.
lie replied:
"Since the re-establishment Of the
Karageorgevitch dynasty, of which
King Peter is the reigning representa-
tive, no trouble has occurred within
Servia.
"The reports Of hostility between
Servia and Bulgaria are as false and
mendacious as the reports of the pre-
tended plots against King Peter. All
the rumors of trouble and plots at Bel
grade are false. The cry of alarm has
been ably circulated, but its best de-
nial is the absolute calm now existing
at Belgrade.
"The alleged plot against Servia ex-
lists only I'm certain hostile press puub-
lications outside of Servia.
These foreign representatives have
to interrupt the peaceful economic and
political development of the Servian
people. It has remained for the high
of the press of the great
western nation, for which I have the
most profound respect to take the part
of Servia, thus unjustly attacked"

legislators Adjourn Early
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-When the
legislature convened today it was eX-
pected by various members OF the lower
house that the tenth day of the thirty
seventh session would be given over to
business In the senate, however, 1t
was apparent that the members had no
intentions of doing anything more than
was absolutely necessary to keep with
in the bounds of the state constitution.
The members of the upper house had
been in session only 80 minutes when
an adjournment was taken.
In the assembly after the members
had kept their seats listening to the
reading of the sixty additional bills i'll
troduced this morning, an adjournment
was taken also--not until $50, as is de-
fined in the constitution for convening,
but until II o'clock. Pursuant to ad-
journment, however, the members of
the assembly held their seats long
enough to pass upon the appointment
of several additional attaches.
Although there were a host of SER
geants- s-at-arms appointed in both the
houses, it was fifteen minutes before
one could be found to enforce the reso-
luton adopted by the members re-
Gently pertaining to the clearing of the
floor of persons neither members nor
ex-members of the house.
Lobbyists had filled the chamber and
so loud was their clamoring that it was
impossible TO distinguish the words of
the speaker,
There will probably be several COM
mittee meetings today, although there
are very few of the committees that
have effected any kind of organization
to date.
The few members who had resolu-
tions to Introduce found that the ma
jority had planned otherwise and they
We're compelled to hold their resolu-
tions over until tomorrow.
In the senate the adjournment was
taken SO soon after the reading of a
few additional and unimportant bills
that those wishing TO earn their $S per
diem had no chance to present their re-
spcCtiYe resolutions.
The bulk of the bills to be introduced
at the present session should be in by
tomorrow.

End of Inquiry in Sight
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Senate
leaders tonight regarded the end of the
Brownsville discussion as in sight and
confidently expected that compromise
resolution offered by Senator Foraker
just before the close of today's ses-
sion will be adopted. Mr.. Foraker had
the floor to make what he today eX-
pressed the hope would be the conclud-
ing speech on the subject. He will pro-
ceed Immediately after morning busi-
ness tomorrow unless interfered with
by the special order of the day, which
is the delivery of eulogies on the life
of the late Senator Bate of Tennessee
Whether he speaks tomorrow or Fri
day, it is expected that a vote will
soon follow, although 1t Is possible
that other brief speeches may be made
before the end is reached.
Mr.. Foraker offered a substitute for
all his previous resolutions on the
Brownsville affair.
The language of this provision is
satisfactory to Senator Lodge and 9TH
er supporters of the administration in
the matter of the discharge of the
negro troops and ii is believed by SEN
ators that it will be unanimously ac-
copied.
The Notifications appropriation bill
was passed by the house without
amendment, an unusual thing for APP
preparation bills.
The appropriation bill for the Dis
trict of Columbia was taken up, but
no time was set for the close of the
general debate, During the considera-
ton Of the district bill notable speeches
were made by Mr. Foster of Vermont
supporting the president in his mes
sage on the japanese situation in
California, and by Representative
Shepard of Texas, who enthused the
Democrats by a carefully prepared ad-
dress on politics and the state of the
nation.
The house, without making any
progress on the District of Columbia
bill, adjourned at 4:50.

Executive Issues Statement That He
Gould Not Veto Raid on State

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-Governor
Gillett in an interview today gave the
opinion of the legislative patronage
graft, and in so doing the governor had
no hesitancy in denouncing the raid
that has been made by the present legls-
lature on the finances of the state.
In expressing his opinion the governor
said:
ut is needless for me to say that
deplore the present state of anairs-tnls
reckless and needless expenditure OIL
public funds.
II have deplored it from the first and
1 have done all in my power to put
stop to 1t. l did not learn of what was
going on until too late to take active
measures against 1T, and even If had
known of 1t in it's incipiency might not
have been able to hinder 1t.
when l heard of the matter I'M
mediately sent for certain senators
with whom I thought possessed some
influence and urged them to interfere
and put stop to it, but at that time IL
had gone too far and l found that
was helpless.
''I would gladly welcome any sugges-
tions that would enable me to right TINS
matter If it is possible to right 1t or TO
put a stop to it.
legislature is a coordinate branch OF
the state government entirely separate
and distinct from the executive, having
a power of it's own, over which L nave
no control. 1t has been pointed out that
it lay in my power to refuse my sigma
ture to it's bills carrying appropriations
for contingent expenses, and there is no
doubt but l could do this, providing
that these contingent expenses were
,,, ~ |
what were legitimate expenses and what
were not.
Hands Are Tied
Unfortunately this is not done and
there is no method by which / can de-
termine the Just from the unjust, and
in consequence my hands are tied.
Now in my opinion, there is but one
course to pursue to put stop 10 these
illegitimate expenses and that is TO IN
troduce a constitutional amendment
that will provide that the expenses Of
each session shall be held down to
specified amount.
every session the press OF the state
has occasion to deplore the evil OF un-
necessary attaches and willful waste OF
the peoples money
"In my opinion if the press of the
state would get behind such a constitu-
tional amendment and push it along as
energetically as it now denounces the
extra legislative patronage such an
amendment could be passed and would
put a stop to this practice for all time
to come. The press has duty to per-
form toward the people just as we'll as
the executive, and it should make this
q part of it's duty.
"Such a measure will be introduced
this season, so L am given to under
stand, and If the power of the press is
behind it I am sure that 1t can DC
passed
"I fully indorse the action of the
press in denouncing this patronage
question and L also hope that it will
take up the matter of the passage OF a
constitutional amendment that will do
away with this evil for all time to
come"

Der goods have been advanced 8 per
cent by the United States Rubber COM
pany on it's price list to the trade for

vanced from 20 to 25 per cent and crude
rubber is selling at the highest price
