oMEN,s MUSICIANS WILL PLAY
FROM COURT HOUSE STEPS
SATURDAY NIGHT MUSICALS
COMING.

One of the best banl concerts ever
heard in the city will be that tonight
given by omen's First Regiment band.
Director Omen has collected a mum
ber OF the finest musicians in this part
Eoi the State and the playing that they
have been doing at the summer meet.
Ing Of the Fairmont Fair Association
rs attracting much attention.
1t Is very probable that the concert
tonight is the beginning of weekly
band concerts that will be given from
the front Of the court house on every
Saturday night. There is no reason
why these concerts should not be
given as has been the custom in for.
mer years. With the trolley lines go.
ing to all parts Of the county large
crowds will be attracted here on Sat
.urday nights IL the concerts will be
resumed.
Hundreds of people come out to
hear the band and many are the lives
that are frightened by this act OF
kindness. Trade relations are made
better and, it gives the entire popula-
tion satisfaction that can hardly
come from any other source. In some
of the immense manufacturing estab-
lshments in the large cities the man
ayers have learned the value OF music
and have orchestras TO play for the
employees in the afternoons when the
employees are listless and tired. They
have learned that music cheers up the
workers and that a greater quantity
Of work Of, a much better quality can
be produced by infuslng a little music
into the lives of the employees. AS an
economical proposition the managers
Of large establishments have found
out that 1t is a wise thing in every
Particular to have music.
The people Of Fairmontt will be glad
+to h33e the regular shditHHy night

ed by the 3. ]. Dupont de Nemours
Company, is a combination in re-
strafnt OF Interstate commerce in pow.

Of section ! Of the Sherman antitrust
law; that It attempted to monopollze
and has monopolized a part Of such
commerce in violation Of section 2 OF
the same law, and decreeing that the

continuing this violation and that 1t
shall be dissolved.
The action against the powder trust
was begun by the government in 1907

was dismissed because some of the
concerns were out Of existence.
The court in an interloeutory de:
cree fixed October 16, as the date to
hear both sides in the action as to the
nature Of the Injunction to be granted,
and eonsidcr "plan for dissolying
said combination"

crees issued by the United States Su-
preme Court In the Standard Oil and
tobacco cases. The 2S defendants de-
clared to be in the illegal combination
are the Hazard Powder Company, Laf-
lin & Rand Powder Company, Eastern

IBy Morning Journal Special Lsased wirei

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator AID
rich. chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the senate. has written
President Taft that he favors the
confirmation of the Canadian reci-
procity agreement.
Whether the letter makes promises
of assistance in getting action In the
senate at the present session. has not
been disclosed, but senator's who have
seen 1t intimate the senator will do
all he can to aid the president An
announcement that Senator Aldrich
was in favor Of the reciprocity agree
ment was received with surprise in
the senate. especially by the stand
pat senators who have come out
against the agreement on the ground
that 1t Is not in compliance with the
tenets OF the republican party on
protection.
Some OF them endorsed the pres-
dents program.
No announcement was made at the
| White House today IN respect to the
| letter and there was considerable dis
eussion at the capitol as to whether the
message would be made public SEN
ator Aldrich. on account of his health
! is spending the winter at Jekyl Island
| Ga, and although much better II |.
not likely he will take any further
part in tariff legislation. az his tern
expires March 4.
Soon after the Canadian agree
ment was sent to congress and i
was reported there was little chanc,
for action in the senate at the pres
ent session, President Taft wrote t,
Senator Aldrich. 1t Is understood tn.
executive urged him to come bacl
and take charge of the fight for tn,
measure in the senate. AT one tim,
lit was rumored Mr. Aldrich Nigh
be back but this was denied.
Senators who discussed today th
statement issued by Representative
Mccall following his sunday inter
4 view, with President Tart. construed
to mean that an extraordinary SEES
sion of congress surely would b.
called In the event the senate faile,
to act on the agreement and that TIL,
statement was issued with the presi
:, dents sanction, II not at his direction
There Is no doubt that 1t filled som,
senators with CONSERVATION. whil'
some others felt ii was only a gcntl,
reminder from the White House tha
the "big stick" still was in workinl
order.

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wlrcl
Washington, Feb. 20.-Filibustering
in the lower branch of congress IN
this session became a thing of the
past today when the house voted. by
large majority, for rule which,
when invoked by two-thirds vote
as to any pending measure, forthwith
reduces the time of debate to forty
minutes and cuts off all amendments.
The rule was Immediately invoked
against the filibuster on the omnibus
war claims bill and that measure-a
house substitute for a senate bill
was passed in short order. The house
bill cuts out all of the French spoia-
tion and the navy yard overtime
claims. There is not a great deal
of hope that 1t will be accepted by the
senate.
Characterized as a gag" by some
of its opponents. the rule adopted to-
day can only be brought into play
when two-thirds Of the house desire
it. And even then the passage of a
bin under the suspension provided
for can only be accomplished by q
| two-thirds vote,
| In the rules committee 1t was
proposed at first to allow a major
| ity to invoke the rule. The demo
Gratis objected to this and the two.
| thirds provision was inserted.
| In urging the adoption Of the rule
in the house. the democratic leaders
pointed out this provision was a suffi-
cient safeguard and the minority
party would always be in a position
| to muster more than one-third the
membership of the house and could
therefore, defeat any undesirable
measure Through this power o.
veto, 1t also was said, the democrat
were in a position to demand tha

means of ending useless filibuster
was demonstrated within very fev
hours after its adoption. The heus
resumed consideration OF the nava
appropriation bill under the ordinar.
rules. More than two hours wer'
spent In general debate and then th
reading of the bill for amendmen
under the flve-minute rule was be
gun.
The naval bill, as reported from
the committee, calls for the repea
OF the eight-hour clause in the build

vessels at private yards. II also pro

believed by those in charge Of tn

PENSION APPROPRIATION.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The pension
appropriation bill was reported to
the senate today carrying $150,6SS.-
900. This is $4,000 in excess of the
amount of the bill as 1t passed the
house, the difference being represent
cd by salaries and expenses of the
eighteen pension agencies throughout
the country which the house proposes
to abolish.
There have been contests between
the senate and house over the pension
agencies for the last seven or eight
years IT is understood now that this
fight will be settled by President Taft,
who proposes to abolish all but about
six of the agencies and consolidate
the Work in larger districts than now
exist. Under this understanding, the
senate amendment probably will be
allowed in the bill
