NELSON AND STEVENSON oP-
FosE RECIPROCITY.

Mr.. A. Melgaard, of this city, has
written Senator Knute Nelson and
Congressman Halvor Steenerson in
regard to the Canadian reciprocity
plan and in reply has received the
following letters which speak for
themselves:
United States Senate.
Washington, D. c.,

Mr.. A Melgaard,
Warren, Mimi
Dear Friend
Your letter of the 18th is at hand.
I entirely concur in everything you
say in your letter and am opposed
to the so-ca1led reciprocity plan. So
far as the farmers of Minnesota are
concerned there is no reciprocity
about it. The whole burdensSof the
scheme is thrown on the farmers.
shall certainly do my best to prevent
favorable action on it.
Yours truly,
Knute Nelson

The figures are more or less of a
disappointment. Although Warren
shows a gain Of 27 per cent during
the past ten years, yet we cannot but
believe that many We're missed III the
enumeration. Our public schools
have an enrolment of $50 and count
ing five to each pupil, the rate gener-
ally used in estimating the popula.
tion Of cities, then Warren has a pop
ulation Of 1900, and we believe that
figure is nearer correct than that fur
nished by the census.

TRIAL DRAGGING ON
Cammorist Hearing at Viter.
bo Not Near Its End.
(National News Association)

NNdLlOndl NEWS ASSOCIdtIOHJ
Viterbo, Italy, May 24..-In hope OF
breaking down the story of Gaetano
Amedio, who has now become one OF
the foremost figures in the Camorrist
trial, Amedio was confronted by his
accuser, Giacomo Ascrittore today
Those who looked for an exciting
scene were disappointed for Amedio
stolidly maintained that he had been
telling the truth and that the allega.
tions of Ascrittore that he had parti.
cipated in the double murder of Gen.
naro Cuccolo and Maria Cuocolo were
unfounded.
From their cage Alfano and his fel.
low Camorrists looked on and Gennaro
Abtemaggio, who has been holding the
most spectacular role in the drama SO
far looked highly displeased that his
place in the limelight had been usurp
ed by another.
Amedio, in protesting his innocence
reiterated his old charge that Ascrit
tore and Father Vittozzi, the priest
were trying to save the Camorra by
making out that the Cuoccolo murder
was a private crime and not the re
suit of a death sentence from the Nea
politan society. There was large
crowd in court.

LAKE MOHONK SCENE
OF THE CONFERENCE
Probability for Creation of a
Court of Arbital Justice at
The Hague Appear Very
Bright.
(National News Association)

(National News Association)
Lake Mohonk. N. Y. May 24.-The
plan Of work adopted by the trustees
Of the SIC. 1000. 900 Carnegie endowment
for International peace was outlined
in detail today for the first time by
President Nicholas Murray Butler OF
Columbia university. presiding officer
OF the Lake Mohonk conference on in
ternational arbitration in his speech
that formally opened the greatest
peace conference Of the year with dis
tinguished men from every civilized
country In attendance. The fund will
be devoted almost entirely to tre.
mendous worldwide campaign of edu-
cation.
The work will be carried on in
three divisions-a division Of interna-
tional law. q division OF economics and
history. and a division of intercourse
and education. The division of in
ternational law will be under the direc.
ton Of Professor James Brown Scott,
whose work In the state department
at the second Hague conference. and
in connection with the American so
ciety and Journal Of International Law
has strongly identiAed him with the
Ipeace movement.
The division OF economics and his
tory will be under Professor John
Bates Clark Of Columbia university
who stands foremost among English
speaking economists. The director of
the third and most important part OF
the work. the division of intercourse
and education. has not yet been Sc
lected.
Hague Court Efforts.
IN addition to outlining this great
work Professor Butler spoke at some
great length upon the efforts Of the
Hague conference to establish an in
ternational court OF arbital justice, ex.
cessive ornaments and the proposed
treaty Of arbitration with England.
Regarding the international court
Of arbital justice, which has not yet
been established, the professor said:
1T IL now possible to state. with full
knowledge and approval of the secre-
tary OF state that the progress made
during the past year has been so
marked tat in all likelihood the court
will be erected Mt the Hague even ear.
lier than seemed probable year ago.
when II was thought that the Third
Hague Conference would see the es-
tablishment of this great reform"
Excessive armaments. the next sub
ject taken up by Professor Butler
drew from him the opinion that This
form of international menace Is even
now on the wanc." and that. "the last
blow would be dealt to this ancient
idea were the United States to consent
to join hands with the other great
powers In writing into international
law the principle that private property
at sea shall he free OF capture and
seizure In time Of war"
The professor regards the tentative
arbitration treaty with England as one
Of the most beneRcent moves of mod
ern times and gives II as his opinion
that. "the treaty will not stand alone.
but that Its benencent influence will
soon call other similar treaties into
being"

The success of the Richmond May
Musical Festival will be watched with
interest by musicians all over the
country. The work of the local musi
clans, under the leadership -of Prot
Will Earhart, who has won a nationa.
reputation, stands out as distinctly orr
ginal as the local art movement
The aim of the local musicians is tc
develop popular favor for the best
in music and encouraging local musi
clans by giving them prominent places
on the Festival programs, which event
is now held annually. When the move
ment was originated several years age
famous orchestras and singers were
! imported. At that time this move wat
a wise one-the local public was edu
Gated to the best in music and had
learned to appreciate it. 1t also had
wholesome effect on the local musi
clans. AS proof of this, an expens
| i've imported orchestra is no longer
| necessary.
Work Of Prof. Earhart.
Prof. Earhart has created an orches
ira composed of local musicians which
has won the admiration of musicians
all over the United States; he has de
veloped choruses which are really re
markable, and he has encouraged the
best singers in the city to study ant
improve their voices by giving then
solo numbers on the Festival pro
grams
This splendid work could not have
been accomplished by Prof Earhart
but for the constant support he hat
received from the Commercial club
which promotes the Festivals
1t is not the object of Prof Earhart
or the Commercial club to eventual,
dispense with singers of national repu
tation. Such singers are regarded ne
cessary for the success of the Festi
walls, to incite the local musicians tt
better work and to lend tone" tt
programs.
| The 1911 May Festival opens Thurs
day evening at the Coliseum, and thu
| program offered is a splendid one. Il
will be noted that the three soloists
| for that evening are Richmond sing
ers. Two programs will be rendered
Friday, one in the evening, and one il
the afternoon.

pated for each concert
