WILL GIVE AID IN
DEVELOPING SOUTH

Alexandria, La, April 21.-G. Gros-
venor DAVE managing director of the
Southern Commercial congress, deliv-
cred the principal address at the
Louisiana Land congress today. In his
address he called attention to a letter
he had Recently received from Presi-
dent ~Taft, who was quoted as saying
by the reaction of the war and what
followed it, the north had about 20
years start on the south in prosperity
and progress. Now the south is making
faster progress than the north and ulti-
mately conditions will be the same In
each section. The present need of the
south is the investment 70 money, a
cause which has been hindered hereto
fore by the poverty of the southern
states. The evidences that are COM
ing to me of aroused public sentiment
on the question of improving the edu-
cational systems of the south are most
gratifying"
The President declared Mr. Dave
stood ready to give all reasonable aid
in the development of the south.

Jefferson Theatre Not Only
Crowded But Perhaps
New Record Made
DAMROSCH HAD PRAISE
FOR TWO CHORUSES
Had Very Difficult Task In
Training n Large Chorus in
So Short Time

Birmingham's greatest music festival
came to "a deligh tful close last night.
All Ave of the festival concerts were
attended by immense crowds. The seat
Ing capacity of the Jefferson theatre
was quite we'll tested at each per-
Torrance. And never perhaps were
more people packed into the building
than were seen there last night. 1t was
certainly a high record crowd. Second
avenue for more than block was lined
with automobiles and carriages and
half hour before the time for begin
ming the concert the sidewalks leading
to the Jefferson were thronged.
Every seat on the main floor of the
theatre and every seat in the
dress circle was sold. All the boxes
were filled and in the gallery men and
women were packed like proverbial
sardines There were 406 paid admis-
sions to the gallery. Every available
space was occupied, the steps in the
aisles being as fashionable as the
benches.
1t was a grand Wagner night and 1t
was notably a gala night. Mr.. Dam
rosch. the festival director, ranks as
one of the best symphony leaders in
this country. AS an all round con-
ductor he has few peers. And when 1t
comes to Incorporating Ricahrd Wag
ner's music no one measures quite up
to Mr. Damrosch. 1t would be difficult
to imagine more attractive pro-
gramme than that presented on tbi oc-
casion.
The festival chorus which had been
trained by Prof Fred L. Grambs were
terraced In the usual way just back of
the orchestra. The men in black and the
ladies in white, both men and women
lwearing red badges. added color and
animation to the scene. Mr. Damrosch's
festical artists were on the stage and
the chorus sang two numbers

The festival chorus did fine work and
the solo artists were at their best. Mr..
Damrosch seemed more magnetic than
ever. He played upon the orchestra as
If he had been performing on single in
strument Wagner is brassy but not all
the time. Some of the most delicate
string and wood wind effects are heard in
his music-dramas and particularly beau
tiful were some of the violin figures last
night
Birmingham concert audiences are often
accused of being cold. They are rarely
demonstrative and very seldom do they
| burst into tumultuous applause. But the
festival audiences have been warm as
we'll as discriminating, and the audience
last night rose to a high pitch of en-
thusiasm.
The afternoon concert was one of the
most enjoyable of the festival. Some
music lovers spoke of 1t as the best of
all, from an orchestral viewpoint. The
notable work performed was Dvarok' s
American symphony. Reed miller sang
many fine songs, most of them accom-
panied on the piano by Mr.. Damrosch,
who, by the way, is a master pianist and
an ideal accompanist.
Mr.. Barrere, Mr.. Damrosch's flute vir-
tuoso, played solo and it proved to be
one of the most popular things on the
programme He was forced to respond to
an encore.
After the concert last night Mr.. Dam
rosch said that he had never enjoyed fes-
tival work more than he had this Week
He spoke in high praise of Mrs. Aidrlcn
brilliant plano solo Tuesday night. he
was warm In his praise of both choruses
the Treble Clef, of which Mr.. Gussen Is
director and the festival chorus, which
was trained by Prof. Grambs
"Prof. CRAMPS had a difficult task,
said Mr.. Damrosch. 'in training DIG
chorus for so many numbers Ia very
limited time. He has done admirably
and he deserves the thanks OF THIS COM
munity."
Mr. Damrosch and his New YORK
symphony orchestra leave this morning
for Mobile, where they give concert
tonight. They appear in New orleans
saturday night and from that city VIII
proceed on their great trans-continental
tour.

Farmers in a Panic

Danville, Ky, April 21.-Farmers in the
district between Hedgeville and Hubble.
in Boyle and Lincoln counties, about 10
miles north of this city, are in panic
today, following the discovery that Ave
miles of the telephone line between the
two towns had been destroyed by night
riders last night. All the farmers in
that section are raising tobacco and the
citizens fear wholesale raids. The men
who cut the lines rode in rubber tired
vehicles.
