January Band Concert
Warm Afternoon Calls Out Large
Crowd to Hear Strains of En-
livening Music iii City Park

we're many ladies who came to hear
the concert and who wore light sum-
mer dresses, light hats, -and carried
white parasols.
The pop corn man vended his
wares, and collection of palms was
placed around the basin of the foun-
tain. Many men wore straw hats,
linen busters, and few carried fans.
This was to show what brand of
weather North Dakota can produce
and to refute the stories published in
soGe of the eastern papers that the
country between Jamestown and
Fargo was showed up and trains were
stalled.
< The mercury stood Ga degrees above
in the sun and IS on the north side
of buildings in.the shade.
The concert began at 2:l5 land
lasted over an hour. In the park
we're a number of dogs from Alaska
attached to a sled, the property of a
travelling opera company, and the
"huskies. 'lay on the ground painting
with the heat. The concert recalled
the, warm afternoons of July --and
August, in the asselnblage of the
people and the merry ..romping and
playing of the children on the grass.
The occasion was tribute to the
plea SAINT winter weather of North
Dakota and was appropriate in every
respect.

LOSES TEE WINAKS MILLIONS
Son Cut OFF by Baltimore Man for
Marrying Spanish Actress.
Thomas Winans, Living in Paris on
Allowance, but VIII BE Denied
Big Fortune.

Special to The Washington Herald
Baltimore, Nd, March Gen. r c.
Latrobe. personal counsel Tor Ross
Winans, tonight announced that Mr
Winans authorized him TO say that his
son. Thomas Winans. had married with
out his consent, and was now living in
Paris on an allowance paid by his father.
The way the announcement is made gives
color to the ruTOr that the father has
not become reeonciled TO his son. and
that the latter viii not re4eive the
Winans millions.
The trouble between the father and son
dates from the time of the death of Mrs
Ross Winans. some time ago When Mr..
Winans returned to America with the
bodies OF his wife and another son. sev-
eral months ago Thomas winans vas 10
have come with him. The steamer. on
which they were TO sail was scheduled to
leave Liverpool early In the morning. and
Ross Winans and his son went on board
the night before.
They went 10 their staterooms. and
when Ross Winans awoke the next morn
ing. the steamship was well down the
Irish Channel He sent for his son. but
the latter had slipped of al night be-
fore the boat sailed
Mr. Winans brought the bodies of his
wife and son to Baltimore. and they were
buried in GreenmouRt Cemetery.
When the father and sen separated at
Liverpool. the son went directly 10 Paris.
Thomas Winans married a Spanish
actress. in spite Of the most strenuous
objections on the part of the parent So
great is said 20 have been Ross Wfnans'
anger when he learned that his son had
contracted what he believed 20 DC mis-
alliance that he is alleged to have decided
to leave the bulk Of his millions 10 others
than his son, who would have received
them otherwise.
1t is now likely that the son may only
receive a small allowance.
