Soloists, which will appear here OF
Saturday afternoon and night, May IA
Among the artists will be the beau
tiful and youthful Miss Lillia Smelling
of the Metropolitan Opera Company

won her an enviable position among
the worlds great artists. The soprano,
Nine. Alice Merritt Cochran, of Brook
lyn, MY, possesses a voice of unusual
range and great carrying power. Her
upper tones are like silver flute and
her mezzo voice is exquisite. DR..
Franklin Lawson is recognized as one
of the worlds greatest lyric tenors. He
has voice OF much sweetness and his
singing always takes with the audi
ence. His English songs are particu-
larry good.
Mr.. Croxton, the basso, has voice
of unusually high order. He is one Of
the best bass singers in this country.
Among the musicians composing the
orchestra are several who have won in
dependent regulations by their re-
markable skill on various instruments.
Special solo parts will be assigned to
these and will constitute an exception
ally attractive feature in the concert.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the work of the chorus which was
recently organized in Johnson City,
and has for the past three months been
carefully trained by Prof. Hough. The
advance agents of the festival party
have attended the last two rehearsals
of the society and state that the chorus
work is in excellent shape. The chorus
will not sing at the evening concert,
and as the number of tickets for mali

all be taken up very quickly.

MISFORTUNE IN THE
SUGAR SCANDAL CASES

New York May 14-Misfortune seems
to be pursuing witnesses in the sugar
scandal cases. Recently Richard Parr
star witness in the preceding trial and
expected to figure prominently in the
trial of Charles r. Heike. secretary of
the American Sugar Refining company,
was threatened with peritonitis and it is
still uncertain whether he can appear at
the trial next week. Today it was learned
that Otto Schneider one of the American
Sugar Refining company's bookkeepers,
upon whose testimony the government
depends even more largely in the Heike
prosecutionfi is seriously i'll. The pros
poets are that he will be unable to tes
tify.
Parr uncovered the crooked work with
the scales on the Williamsburg sugar
docks, which sent a quartet of checkers
and Oliver Splitter, their foreman, to the
pententiary after sensational trial.
Schneider at his post in the sugar COM
pany's offices, checked the weighing
operations. 1t was the tables he pre-
pared and concerning which he testified
at previous trials that enabled the gov
eminent to show the differences prevail
ing in the underweighing which sent the
checkers to prison and which resulted in
the re- 1nding to the government by the
sugar company of more than 100000
duties. Schneider is said to have suf-
fered a breakdown as a result of the
1aborious work he did in making the
computations and the nervous strain of
the long continued prosecutions.
The government, while somewhat cast
down at the illness of Parr and Schmel-
ter, insist that other testimony has de-
veloped that makes their cases stronger
than ever and the trial of Heike and
others accused in the sugar conspiracy
cases will start next Monday, according
to schedule.

the form in which it was passed by the
House by striking out the provision re-
quirng publication in advance of cleo

vance publication the report of the COM
mittee says
"It would be the signal for general
assault upon every person making such
contribution with view to prejudicing
the electors against the candidate by
claiming that he is supported by persons
who have some personal end to subserve
or private interests to promote. and is not,
therefore, justifying of public confidence
and support. The public knowledge that
all contributions and expenditures are to
be made public In detail after the election
and under oath and that false statement
in relatio thereto is punishable by fine
or imprisonmet or both will certainly tend
to prevent any willful violation of the
