Death Of Senator Rayner of Maryland,

Senator Isador Rayner, GO, of Mary
land, one of the Democratic leaders in
the United States Senate, died Monday
in Washington after a long illness with
n%euritis. The Maryland legislature will
not be in session until January, 1914, and
the vacancy will be filled by Gov.
Goldsborough by the appointment of a
Republican. With Rayner's place filled
by a Republican the anticipated DEM
ocratic majority in the senate will be
reduced to a point very near the divid-
ing line in party control. Senator Ray
ner was one of the striking figures of
the enate He had been a member Of
that body for almos eight years and
was one of its strongest jebaters and a
recognized authority on matters of con-
stitutional law. Before he entered Con-
gress he had attained a national repu-
tation because of his vigorous conduct
of the late Admiral Schley's case before
the naval court of inquiry that inves-
tigated the action of American officers
in the battle with Admiral Cervera's
Spanish fleet. Before coming to the
Senate Mr.. Rayner had served three
terms in the House of Representatives
and had rendered efficient services in
both branches of the Maryland legisla-
ture.

CONGRESS IN SESSION NEXT WEEK
Appropriation Bills and other Import
ant Matters to Consider Including Sen
ator Pages Vocational Bill.

Appropriation Bills and other Import
ant Matters to Consider Including SEN
ator Pages Vocational Bill.
Congress will %reconvene next Monday
for the last short session OF Republican
control in national legislation. The tar
if question is not scheduled for con-
sideration this winter, but the term will
be crowded with important work. In
addition to the appropriation grist Con-
gress will nave a quantity of general
and special legislative matters to dis
pose of that were left pending when
adjournment was taken in August.
During the early part of the session
the House will be busy shaping appro-
p~riation bills, while the Senate is dis
posing of the impeachment trial of
Judge Robert w. Archibald of the
court, set to begin December
3. Several important measures will be
pushed for early action in the Senate,
among them the resolution of Senator
Works of California to limit the Presi-
dent to a single slx-year term, the
Sheppard-Kenyon bill prohibiting the
shipment of liquor into prohibition
states, and the vocational educational
bill of Senator Page of Vermont. The bill
of Senator Borah creating a department
of labor is also scheduled for early con-
sideration.
Energetic efforts will be made in both
houses to secure legislation amending
the Sherman antitrust law and limiting
contributions to political campaign
funds. The House judiciary committee
is under Instructions by resolution to
conduct an investigation into violations
of the Sherman law with a view to pre-
pairing legislation and 1t is preparing to
begin the investigation Immediately af-
ter Congress c%onvenes. Senator Kenyon's
bill amending the Sherman law, which
has been before the Senate interstate
committee will undoubtedly
be brought up for early action in the
Senate.
Meantime the committee headed by
Senator Clapp will probably formulate
a measure limiting campaign contribu-
tions, based upon its extensive investi-
cations. Several bills on this subject
are pending in both House and Senate.
Efforts will be made during the ses-
sion to repeal at least a part of the
Canadian reciprocity tariff agreement.
The attempts failed last summer, when
the repeal was attached to various
Democratic tariff bills. The failure Of
Canada to ratify the agreement left
only the claus relating to wood pulp and
print paper in operation.

held at Shelburne Farms was a delight
full event. The secretary recommended
that in place of one orchard meeting
that several be held, so that different To-
calities may be benefited. The society

BRATTLEB0RO LOCAL
CONCERT BY sousA's BAND.
Renowned Director Manifested Some
Rare Qualities Of Leadership as on
Former Visits Here. .

Rare Qualities Of Leadership as on
Former Visits Here.
Thu world famed Sousa and his band
came to the Auditorium under the man
agement of George e. Fox Monday
night and wrought to a high pitch the
musical emotions of ar audience that
filled the house. A slightly heavier
beard changed Sousa's appearance a
trine from that of former visits, but the
change was not material, and he man
ifested the same electrifying presence,
the same gracefulness of poise and lead
ership and the same alertness and Keen
ness Of musical sense as of old. Deligh
full as the selections were, the full real
ization of their excellence came only
when ones eyes were riveted upon the
leader for Interpretation. The band
could render the program without Sou
sa, in fact without any leader, but the
absence of the vitalizing force which
Sousa's movements impart to the must
clans would be noticeable. The band
contained many new faces, but the men
were exceptionally well trained and re-
ponsive. Every number was encoreI,
and the demands of the audience were
met generously. Several of the principal
numbers and many of the encore num-
bers were compositions by Sousa, among
them the famous lei Captain ana
''Stars and Stripes marcneS, Which
were greeted with tumultuous applause.
Near the close of the STARS and
Stripes march three piccolo players, SIX
cornetists and six trombonists lined up
in front of the footlights and fairly hft-
ed the roof, and the audience as well.
Sousa's new march, THE Federal
written for and dedicated to the Aus
tralians as a result of the bands recent
trip around the world, was a stirring
and melodious production and by some
was enjoyed as much as any other num-
Der. Tha a big ban can create a lot
of fun was demonstrated in the rendi-
ton of "Everybody's Doing It," in
which some weird and fantastic sounds
were produced.
A specially pleasing number was a
cornet solo, THE Southern Cross" play
ed by Herbert L. Clarke, its composer.
Mr.. Clarke is the leader of the band in
Sousa's absence. He gave a renewed
demonstration of his mastery of the
cornet n of his ability as a composer.
Miss Virginia Root, soprano, sang The
Voice of Spring" by Strauss. Attractive
in appearance and possessing a voice OF
delightfully."- pure quality, Miss Root
won the admiration of her audience.
Her voice was full and resonant, true to
pitch and under perfect control. MISS
Nicotine Zedeler, violiniste, played the
Faust Fantasia" by Sarasate and in
her encore number was accompanied by
the harp. She displayed unusual tech
nique and rendered very difficult pas
sages with an ease and precision that
stirred her hearers to great enthusiasm.

immigration is beginning to trouble
the Canadian government. Too many
people from other countries are said to
be moving into the Dominion. During
the six months ending with September
30, 273,00O immigrants reached Canada,
and 10000 of these went from the United
States. This was an increase of 10 per
cent over the corresponding period of
1911. Ottawa is beginning to be alarmed
lest the aliens overrun the country. The
government there estimates that the
census of 1921 will show that more than
half the people of the Dominion were
born outside of its boundaries.
