One killing and one mayhem by patrol men within the past week has precipitated an extensive propaganda here against the ever ready trigger of police officers. The proraRurlst of the movement is w. J. Dil- lard, father of Ernest Dllard, the victim in tue killing The former asserts that he will prosecute Patrolman Moreland, who shot his son, to the utmost extent of the law, notwithstanding the ract that one grand jury has returned a no true bill against the officer.
 The victim of the mayhem is Charles Miller, a postal clerk, who was shot through both legs by Patrolman Gouldy when he did not cease running at the of ficers command.
 Miller appears to be the victim of police prosecution, as he was arrested and badly beaten some months ago for a trivial of- fense by Officer Luke Pogue. This att tack was so uncaled for that Pogue was iischsrged by Police Commissioner T. c. Betterton, and, if public sentiment is observed, Gouldy will be dealt with in a similar manner.
 The billiard case has devolved into a yeritable sensation Attorney Bancroft Murray in the preliminary trial of More land before Squire W. B. Harris openly denounced the police department and as- serted that political interests had been brought 10 pear upon the grand Jury Tn violation of the law to secure the of- ficer's aeauital when that body passed upon the case.
 So conclusive was the evidence intro duced by inc prosecution that Squire Harris placed Moreland under 5000 bond, notwithstanding the fact that the grand jury had taken the action in question. The case will now come before the May term of court and an indictment is openly pre- dicted. The police department has begun an Investigation of the Gouldy shooting in defertnce to the pressure of public de- mand.

Attorney General Andrew A. Miller,
spending the day in Grand Forks. de-
clares he will be a candidate for re-
election to that position. making a
statement to that effect in an inter
view with an Evening Times repre-
sentative. Mr.. Miller says he has made
no formal announcement of his inten-
'tion to get into the fight but said that
he was to be In the ace unless circuml-
stances of sue nature arose in the
meantime as to prevent it. Just how
he could not foresee any such cir
cumstances.
The attorney general is spending the
day here OF business. Outside of his
own statement to the effect that he
would be a candidate for election, the

THE MESSIAH MARKS
THE MUSICAL
TASTE
Great Cities Have Annual
Rendition and Grand Forks
Does Likewise

In a metropolis like New York the
oratorio of the Messiah ia rendered
annually by umerou organizations
throughout the city. In Chicago the
same condition prevail. The Apollo
club Of three hundred voices. accom-
panied by the Theodore Thomas or
chestra presented the oratorio twice
during the Christmas season and in
an auditorium with a seating capacity
Of 5000. It Is difficult to get seats,
and the sale is always tremendous.
1t may be noted that the audience is
comprised largely Of the same peo-
pie each year and in many cases the
same people for the two perform
ances. The significance of this fact
is that they realize musical culture to
comprise a familiarity with a few
great works rather than a smattering
Of many works. Minneapolis renders
this oratorio Of Messiah annually,
Holmquist having been the
bass soloist for their last rendering.
This custom Of an annual perform
ance has spread to the smaller cities
until now no city can claim unusual
musical culture where the Messiah
is not rendered at least once a year.
No one is regarded as musically Gull
tured who is not familiar with the
great work either through having
heard 1t many times or having SUM-
in it.
Grand Forks is undertaking to es-
tablish the rendering OF the "Mes-
siah" az an annual affair at the
Christmas season. It is a matter Of
considerable civic pride that such al
abundance of material is available
both for the chorus and orchestra.
There are but three rehearsals left
before the public performance Of
Tuesday evening, January Is. The
soloists are AZ fine as those engaged
try. Gustav Holmquist Of Chicago is
n of the greatest artists in the
world, as many OF the Grand Forks
people already know personally. Miss
Jennie Anderson. soprano, has beef
heard many times here with pleasure;
Miss Agnes Lewis, contralto. is SOLO
ist in the Plymouth Congregational
church in Minneapolis and known as
a superior artist. ]. Austin Williams.
tenor, sang the Messiah" in Winni-
peg last week with several other fine
soloists. His work is known the coun-
try over.
Whether this custom can he estab-
ltshed as an annual affair will be de-
'termined by the of the pres
ent undertaking. It's musical success
dications the financial success is going
to be far beyond the highest hopes.
Those most interested in a better
Grand Forks" are pushing the mat
ter to its utmost. It involves much
more than a local stir. Every citizen
who is proud he lives in Grand Forks
can help boost the rendering of the
Messiah" and thus boost his own
city.
