MUST Walk While HE TALKS

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey,
saws the Washington correspondent
of the Boston Advertiser. walks as
he oratca. Usually a senator adj
dressing the senate or in inter.
ruptIng a senator stands by seat
at best, moving but little from il
in the ca Element of his inspira-
ton. But MARITIME cannot main
tain himself thus. He must walk
rapidly for some distance as he
talks, much after the manner
when he used to cradle" his New
Jersey farm. as he says. So
MARITIME is circus to see as well
as to listen TO when he feels he
must enligh.en some senator who
processes to know more about
farming than he.
And he accepts the fun with
good grace.
why do you walk - Senate =

Il cannot help it. replied
MARITIME my tongue and legs

Say. are you walking or are
you talking? If you are W aIkirf,

talk. We can't hear you when
you walk and we cannot see you
when you talk. Quit one or both.

At Butte valley a force of l6t
men is at work erecting a power
plant to furnish current for the
constr ction Of the dam and for
tree othtr power plants later to

TO VOTE AGAINST IT.
MAYOR TO CAPITAL TO
WORK AGAINST MEASURE
M.ver Declares Bill 10 . Dastard'y
One, Fostsrsd BY Public Service
CORPORATIONS, and Against Interests
Of cities-hovey Hopes Bill Will
Pass, According to Clark.

The city council Wednesday night
followed the lead Of Sioux Ci'S anu
other Iowa cities by going on record
as against the Sammis bill, which was
set for hearing in the legislature to-
6ay. The council adopted a resolution
asking Senator c. H. Van Law ana
Representative II. c. Lounsberry to
vote against the bill and directed May
or Ineledue to represent the city in Des
Moines today to do what he could to
work against the passage OF the meas
ure.
The Sammis bill calls for the regula-
ton OF public service corporations Dy
a state commission of five members,
and takes the power away from the
cities that are most interested.
City Solicitor Northup drew reso-
luton declaring that public service cor
porations could be regulated more ef-
fectvely impartially. and fairly by
cities than could be obtained by COM
mission and that local supervision was
far more preferable than a commits
sion: that the council Of Marshalltown
opposed the bill. and directed the city
clerk 10 1cTWdIu q copy Va eiiS
ton to the senator and representative
from this county. asking them to vote
against the bill The resolution was
adopted unanimously.
The mayor declared the Sammis bill
TO be. in his opinion. dastardly meas
ure. fostered by the public service cor
porations. and that it should be opposed
by all cities, and especially those own
ing water works and electric light
plants The mayor said that while he
did not approve of the Van Law bill in
every particular. IT was far better than
the Salnm!s bill.
The Sioux City council sent copy
OF its resolution to the mayor. who
read It, The Sioux City council ex-
pressed the hope that Marshalltown
would take similar action. and have
q delegation at Des N1oines to work
against the bill.
Councilman Clark said that he had
talked with Superintendent Hovey. Of
the Marshalltown Light. Power and
Railway Company and that Mr.. Hovey
had expressed the opinion that the
Sammis bill would become a law.

FOREIGN ARTISTS IN RECITAL.
Appear Under the Auspices Of the Mar
ahaIl School Of Music.

shall School Of Music.
To the Marshall School OF Music.
under whose auspices the recital was
given, was due the opportunity which
local music lovers enjoyed Wednesday
evening at the Congregational church.
Of hearing two gifted musicians OF
foreign birth, Miss Marie Schada. a
Danish pianist. and Mrs. Marie Siden-
Jus Zendt, a Swedish soprano. The
church was about two-thirds filled.
Miss Schada opened with a group Of
difficult Chopin numbers. and played
two other groups OF piano solos during
the program, in which she showed that
she has not only thoroughly mastered
the technical side OF her art but has
an unusual appreciation OF tone values
and melodic phrasing. She has re-
markable musical instinct and makes
full use Of a splendid technique, keen
sense OF harmony and a flne touch
The "Polonaise. OPP. 3d." was one OF
the best Of her Chopin numbers. and the
March" (Grieg) was especially good,
but her star number on the program
was LISTS "Le Rossignol,'' which with
It's wonderful trills and harmony, won
enthusiasts applause. She responded
to two encores.
Miss Schada has most interesting
personally aside from her musicians
qualities, and is distinctly foreign in her
speech and mannerisms. Her homo Is
in Copenhagen. Denmark, where she
spends her summers, and for the past
five years she has given winter con-
cert tour. in this country. with Chicago
as her present headquarters. That
Denmark is proud OF its gifted daughter
is evidenced by the honor 1t has official
" bestowed upon her, for Miss Schada IS
one Of the few ptanists OF her country
who can boast Of a "sttpendium an
award from the Danish government
given in recognition OF an artists merit.
She Is also the possessor Of q personal
letter OF high praise from the composer.
Grieg.
Mrs. Zendt, splendidly trained Tyr
ical soprano of pleasing personality.
sang three groups Of songs Of high
order. Her high notes came clear and
strong and her low register notes full
and rich. Her voice Is exceedingly
flexible and in part 1 Of the program
she was especially pleasing in her num-
Der, ''Du Dist Die Rue (Schubert). The
finest number on her program was
Puccinrs Zone Fine Day from Mad
ame Butterfly" which was especially
enjoyed by those who had heard the
opera Her last group comprised songs
Of lighter nature. with the exception
