More than 1000 persons forsook the

the three afternoon concerts which

three audiences displayed an enthusi-
astic interest in the program.

| Federal prison each attracted an audi

were richly repaid for their attendance.

in the third concert of the year at the
Atlanta theater. repeated the artistic
triumph of the wo preceding concerts,
and was greeted by an audience that
almost filled the theater
Program Widely Varied.
Every variation of orchestral accom-
plishment apparently was at the COM
mand of the artists composing the Phil
harmonic orchestra, and their efforts
were warmly applauded.
The program varied all the way from
VonWebers Invitation to the Dance"
to the Funeral March of a Marionet,'
which was splendidIy rendered. Pic
turesque Scenes" by Massenet, and
two Hungarian dances furnished the
more popular side of the program and
were received enthusiastically.
Yesterdays audience showed more
actual appreciation of good music than
either of the two preceding, and scarce
ly person left the hall until the lights
| had been turned on and the orchestra
began to file out.
Convicts Enjoy Concert.

/ the leadership of j. p. Matthiessen

which she sang at the Auditorium Ar
mory. She responded to the first encore
with The Last Rose of Summer" and
to the second with Home, Sweet
Home" which left many moist eyes in
| the audience, as it coniured pictures of
former years. Mrs. Yourstons singing
and DR.. Percy j. Starnes accompani-
ment were artistic triumphs.

UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT
Principle of eastman Distance Tariff
Law Constitutional.

st. Paul, May 3O.-The supreme
court of Minnesota handed down an
opinion UNFOLDING the principle upon
which the eastman distance tariff
law, passed by the last legislature,
was based. The case was that of J.
C. Sullivan ct al against the Mime
sofa and Rainy River Railroad com
pany and the opinion was written by
Justice Phillip +. Brown.
The court holds that charges mus;
be equal on the same class of goods
for the same distance-an idea incor.
porated In the eastman bill, which,
however, is not now in force but will
become operative OF Oct. 1. The de-
cision relies upon the common law
entirely and in effect says that, con.
corning the regulation OF intrastate
rates, the eastman law is simply the
enactment of the common law rule,
which now governs, into a statute
with no force than the common
law principle.

Admits Little Success In Call.
tOTnla Controversy.

Toxic. May 30.-It was made plain
to the Japanese by publication of the
resolutions adopted by Count Kat.
sura's party that the opposition to
Premier Yamamoto is making capital
out of the California land incident.
The executive committee Of the for
mer premier's party, who have sought
to overthrow the Yamamoto govern
ment ever since 1t was formed, passed
resolutions criticising the manner in
which the ministry has handled the
American dispute and declaring Pre-
mier Yamamoto incapable of settling
the affair with dignity to Japan.
The foreign Office issued it's first
public statement since the receipt OF
Americas reply to the Japanese pro-
test. The statement admitted that
Japan had met with little success so
far in the California controversy, but
was still negotiating with the govern.
ment at Washington.

spond to the japanese appeal for a dis.
continuance OF the alleged discrimina.
ton would be likely to lead to some
es-trangement of the two peoples. The
Japanese public generally Is convinced
that the land bin Is a racial and o an
economic measure and hence a blow
90 national pride, and 1t feels that the
world must be taught the necessity of
equal treatment of the whites and nom
whites.
The Tokyo newspapers are loud in
their praise Of President Wilson's zeal
In his endeavors to preserve the tradi.
tional friendship, and they recognize
the difficulties which confront the pres.
ident Of the United States in the con,
fusing conflict between state and fed
eral rights.
The Nichi Nichi Is of the opinion
that the question as TO whether the
Washington government can procure
equal rights for the japanese depends
upon the strength of japanese diplo-
macy, and 1t urges the government to
take a firm attitude.
A Joint celebration of the Japanese
and American peace societies here was
attended by 1000 Japanese. Speeches
were made by Count Okuma, former
minister of foreign affairs; Baron
Yoshiro Sakatani, mayor OF Tokyo. and
Tsunejiro Miyaoka, who was coun-
cilor OF the Japanese embassy at Wash
ington in 1900 All OF the speakers en-
deavored to clarity the situation, and
all decried jingoism.
Count Okuma was loudly applauded
when he compared the attitude of the
California Legislators with the anti
foreign movement In japan half a cen
fury ago, which be looked upon as an
abased rae prejudice.
I'VE despised foreigners" he said,
because they looked different. We
did not consider them human beings.
japan finally saw the falsity of its po-
sition and became an admirer of every
thing western. The same causes I'M
derlie the California question; but, like
the japanese, the Californians will see
the folly Of their position. and truth
and justice will triumph.
AT some future day the Californians
will laugh at their fathers and grand
fathers for driving of the Japanese,
just as we laugh now at the anti
foreign absurdtties Of the samurai."
