EVENING PAPERS HIT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Morning Papers in the News As
ISOLATION Prevent Service to
Some Evening Papers.

At the recent annual meeting of the
associated press the morning papers
succeeded in continuing the handicap
that the afternoon Associated Press
papers are laboring under. Being per-
mitted to publish only between IL a.
m. and p. m, the afternoon paper is
prevented from taking full advantage
of It's opportunities. The discrimination
in favor of morning papers seems par
ticularly unfair when it is remember
ed that with few exceptions the towns
of this country depend on afternoon
papers for their news. There are many
afternoon papers that could profitably
publish an edition before II a. m. or
after 4 p. m. This discrimination af-
fects, OF course, only the associated
press afternoon papers American
Press.
This discrimination is also the rea-
son why all live evening newspapers,
like The Gate City, are now using the
United Press telegraph service, which
gives them great advantage over
old fashioned papers using the asso-
ciated press by enabling them to print
all the news of the world that is Of
interest.

BIG FREE NIGHT
AT THE ROLL-A-WAY
Proprletors Wilmering and King Will
Entertain their Patrons To-
morrow Evening.

To show their appreciation of the
loyal patronage they have received
since opening the Roll-a-Way, Mess
rs. Wilmering and King will tomorrow
evening throw the fine rink open to
the public, and all may skate, and
spend the evening at the Roll-a-W Way
without charge. No skates vii, be re-
served, so it will be useless to ask
this special favor, as it would not be
treating every one fair. Those who
are first will secure the skates, and as
fast as a pair are resigned, of course
some one can put them on.
There is no use saying that the big
free night will tend to increase the
popularity of the amusement place.
Now that the quarantine has been re-
moved, there will undoubtedly be a
revival of the immense crowds that has
always characterized the roll-a-way.
AT least all are invited, and urged to
be guests of the proprietors tomorrow
evening, and all who attend are assur-
Led of an evening of much enjoyment.

said. mo event that transpired in his
tory has Appropriated the profound,
lasting effects that flow from these
peace conferences upon the peace Of
the world. The greatest factor for
the maintenance Of peace is the habit
of the thought OF peace. which
now prevails throughout the civilized
world. The world would achieve
whatever it desires ii the desire of
peace is constant and all prevailing.
He who would now provoke or advo-
cate war must stand before the bar Of

what justifies war, but know that
many causes hat brought war in the
past will now be condemned"

ar ament and the expense of modern
warfare is the strongest guarantee

The plans are to remain In Mau Hill

the fifteenth. when they will proceed
to Sotik later The trip of members
OF the party to Fort Halliam to Wit
ness war dance of four hundred war
riors, Kikuya chiefs. was a success.
The party received full regalia OF
honors and saw the dance from plat
form raised on the front OF the pa
rade ground. Chiefs presented Roose-
velt with goat, three sheep, bull
and wild ostrich. He, in turn, gave
each piece of silver. Roosevelt de-
clared he had "bully sport" Friday and
Saturday. The fifth lion was shot
when they decided TO end the days
sport, and proved the best specimen
in the lot. The natives are delighted
with the excellent shooting of Roose-
yelt and Kermit and feel they can
take the chances of beating the game.
1t is hardly likely that If the party
gets a giraffe today the news will
reach here for day or two. The

broke camp today. M
Roosevelt Shot True.
Roosevelt and two members Of his
party, a white 4san. name not given,
and native, were beating the hunt

stumbled on gigantic lion crouched
ready to spring. The pair wheeled
their horses and started to flee, but
as the lion was about to spring a shot
rang out and the lion fell dead.
Roosevelt had followed the beaters
closely, and taking a snap aim, shot
the lion through the brain. The lion
is the biggest of the entire kill.
There was great rejoicing in the camp
when the story was told by the two
men Roosevelt belittled his marks

Five Killed and Large Number Woud
Five Killed and Many Wounded as
Result of Celebration of Work
mems Unions at
Buenos Ayres.
MAY DAY IN FRANCE
There Were Practically No Disturb
ances Throughout France
Which Was Unusual For
That Republic.

BUENOS AYRES, May 3.-The May
day celebration organized by the var
ious workmen's unions resulted in
serious demonstrations and an engage
ment between the rioters and police
in which five men were killed and a
large number wounded
According to official statements
group of anarchists fired upon the
police, wounding five of the officers.
The police charged their assailants
with drawn sabres and revolvers. They
fired into the mob and struck right and
left with their swords. Five of the
rioters were killed. twelve were seri-
ously wounded, while more than a
score escaped with lesser injuries.
The police succeeded in dispensing the
mob with considerable difficulty.
Quiet in Paris.
PARIS. May 3.-May day passed off
in Paris and in the provinces practic-
ally without any disturbance. Even at
the strike centers of Meru and Maza-
met there were no disorders. The
elaborate arrangements which had
Deen made by the government to meet
any contingency evidently had a de-
terrent effect upon the agitators and
the response to the call for the pro-
letariat to take part in a twenty-four-
hours strike was feeble.

A very pleasing article concerning
the life of Felix Mendelssohn- Barthody
appeared in the past weeks edition OF
the Musical Courier. 1t was written
by Leonard Liebling.
The Mendelssohn celebrations every
where being held at this time are an
absurdity and a farce, and the great
composers works are not helped ma
terially by this sudden and single per-
Torrance on the part OF our Orchestras.
The proper way to show appreciation
of Mendelssohn is to produce his
works as frequently as those of the
other masters of music. If his SYM
phoies are not worth figuring on pro-
grams in 1908 or 1910, then assuredly
they are not worth performances in

Miss Adelaide Norwood's singing
voice is perhaps one of the best on the
American stage, or in Europe, for that
matter. There is no voice to compare

1t is by contrast that one realizes how
far ahead and how much above in its
perfection it is over all others. In no
other single voice that reaches one
over the footlights, in all America. is
there such a rare blending of quality
and tone perfection. such a perfect
method of use, coupled with such pur-

SIashing Has Begun and 1t
May Continue Until Freight
Tariffs Are Completely De-
moraIized.
WEAKNESS IS REVEALED
IN LATEST CONFLICT
The DifferentiaI Rate Principle
Proves a Sorry Makeshift
And Brought No Relief to
The Roads.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The local freight
territory has begun and no telling
where it will end. This much is GER
tain, however, it apparently destroys
the last hopes of the roads for bring
ing about the general advance in rates
which has been under discussion for
the last eight months.
The outbreak of the war also DEM
onstrates how flimsy, after all. is the
alleged community OF interests idea
which was expected to end forever all
such exhibitions of spleen and prevent
squandering of railroad revenues by
the outbreak of conflicts which has
never ended in anything but heavy
losses to all engaged in them. 1t may
be that another result of the conflict
in question will be abolition of the
differential rate principle. 1t has
been admitted on all sides that the
principle is sorry makeshift resort
ed to in desperation in the vain hope
that by conceding it to the weak lines
they might be induced to refrain from
practices which had a tendency to
throw the whole situation into disord-
er. These so-called weak lines are
re strained to large extent by the
provisions of the interstate commerce
law from indulging in the practices
which the introduction of the differen-
tial rate principle originally was
brought about.
1t has always been the cause of
endless pickering and hard feeling
among the roads and the present may
be seized upon rs q suitable occasion
for bringing about its abolition. The
western roads always have refused to
recognize it in their territory and they
appear to have Jared no worse, to say
the least. than their eastern associates
who have had to resort to it only to
find themselves in continual turmoils
over its enforcement.
In the meantime notices of intended
reductions in rates are being filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission in numbers and once filed the
rates must continue in force for at
least thirty days after they become
effective.
1t is limited that the passenger rate
situation may also become badly at
fected.
