THE MUSIC TEACHERS.
Attendance Increasing Round Tables
and Students Recitals.


Cedar Rapids, June 20.-There was q
large increase in the attendance at the
convention Of state music teachers as
ISOLATION Wednesday and today and
the officials are hopeful that all former
records will be broken at this meeting.
Various round tables were held during
the morning hours, full of interest and
help to the music teachers. These be-
gan at o'clock in the morning in the
various rooms on the second floor OF
the free public library building. These
round tables will be in session this
and tomorrow morning at the same
hour and place and the public is cor
daily invited. The leaders are as
follows:
1oianoforte-Mr. Dudley Smith.
Voice-Mrs. Amalia Schmidt-Gob-
BILE.
Harmony-Mr. Scott B. Prowell.
Church Music-Mr. George L. Pierce.
In the afternoon at 2:3o o'clock a
most enjoyable pupils program was
given in the public library auditorium.
There was large and appreciative
audience.
A splendid program, one of the best
in the series, was given in Greene's
opera house at 7:45 last evening by
accomplished musicians from all parts
of the state. It was one of the
finest musical treats ever enjoyed in
Cedar Rapids.
There was a very large attendance
last night and everyone present mani
tested the keenest interest in the pro-
gram which was given by musicians
from all over the state. The instru-
mental selections and the vocal solos
were rendered with a technical skill
and genuine feeling for music that
speaks weIl for the musical ability OF
Iowans and the training Of the music
teachers Of Iowa.

.L1rowN. IOWA. THURSDAY, JUNE 20 1907

the charge was true or not The peo-
pie were made to believe that the
charge was true, and it is generally
conceded now in Des Moines that
was that charge that defeated Prou
in the primaries the next day.
The people Of Des Moines are g.
ject to being stampeded and the p
stampeded now on the commission - 4
of government. 1t will be very great
surprise even to the opponents of the
commission plan if todays election Is
not favorable to the commission plan.
AS a result, Sioux City, Cedar Rapids,
Dubuque and other cities Of Iowa, in
which there are citizens who have
given some thought to adopting the
idea themselves. will have to study the
plan. not from today's vote, but from
the workings of the commission Idea
following the election next spring. I'm
der the law if the commission plan
carries it will not be put into force and
effect till aftei. the regular city cleo
tion next spring. when commissioners
will be elected instead Of the regular
city officials as heretofore.
Whatever the results of the election,
Capt. ]. A. T Hull has only trouble
ahead His best friends are admitting
now that it would have been better had
he remained in Washington. or any
where but Des Moines. 1t is pointed
out in this connection that 1t was
known in the beginning that Governor
Cummins objected to the commission
plan. He sale SO plainly in his mes
sage to the legislature. He recon-
meDded preserving the three branches
of government, legislative, administra-
tive and judicial. But later, while re-
fusing to. take am active part in the
campaign because he was a state Off
Ger, he let it he known that he would
vote for the commission plan. He has
not suffered ir the slightest as to his
political future from the position he
has taken.
But Congressman Hull remained in
Washington till last Sunday. and not
once opened his head as to the commits
sion plan of governm ent. Then he
came to Des Moines and, according to
unmistakable evidence has been busy
ever since, but processes that he has
friends on borh sides and refuses to
make statement as to his position.
ne ielusai ~ MAKE SldlelneHt anu
take sides is, too, In the face of the
fact that everyone knows. or thinks he
knows. that E-ull is against the COM
mission plan of government and doing
all he can to defeat it. He is even
suspected of using congressional cam
paign funds to fight it. Had he an
nounced his preference either for or
against the plan and then kept hands
off, it is believed by both his friends
and enemies that his interests would
not have suffered. Now he is charged
by many, formerly his friends, as be-
ing welded to the spoils system.

Others Against Governor steunen-
berg and Other Officials Of the
State AAnimun of Miners Leaders
Shown by Own Words.

Boise. June 22.-sWhen court Ia the
Haywood trial opened this morning
Judge Wood announced his decision on
the admissibility Of articles in the
Miners Magazine sus evidence. He said
the court was thoroughly satisfied as
to the admissibiltty of the articles ap-
pearing in the magazine showing the
animus Of the Western Federation OF
Miners during the period of the COM
mission Of the series of crimes con-
fessed to by Orchard and alleged by
him to have been melted by officers Of
the federation. Articles appearing af-
ter that period. the court said, would
not be admitted
After the announcement Of the
judges decision Senator Borah read
from the copy Of the first issue Of the
magazine an article written by Ed
Boyce, in which he outlined the policy
of the magazine as proposing to stand
for the interest Of the Western Feder-
alton Of Miners, and in a general way
for the laboring masses against 1.-The
predatory classes"
The second exhibit was a letter from
Eugene Debs, and published in the is
sue of February !, which also was read.
In the article, Debs greeted the mag
azine and paid tribute to the, an
nouncement of its policy by Boyce. He
went on to denounce Steunenberg and
the officials of Idaho in the severest
terms as "Whelps who should so back
to their native hell" and "Who should
not escape the consequences Of their
crimes" Debs compared theses "vile
OFFICIAL creatures with Paul Corcoran,
who was found guilty Of murder in the
Couer d'Alenes, and whom Debs called
an honest workingman standing mag
nificent in the strength Of his right
eousness In conclusion Debs wrote:
Know We, Steunenberg and others, we
have an account to settle with YOU"
The entire morning session was taken
up with reading articles from the Min
ers' Magazine by Senator fBorah. They
were principally attacks upon former
Governor Steunenberg. Court ADJ
