open, causing a waste of the public
water supply.
Mr.. Smylie started to work immedi-
ately upon his appointment, and it is
his intention to inspect every place
in Hattiesburg as rapidly as it can be
done.
1t is perhaps not generally known,
but 1t is fact, that the wasting of
water is a direct tax on the people,
none the less real because its magni-
tude cannot be learned, or that it is
an indirect loss.
AS it takes fuel to pump water.
there is a direct cost involved in the
lifting of every thousand gallons of
water that passes through the water
pipes installed. If negligent waste
can be stopped there will be a direct
saving in the matter of fuel. 1t will
be Mr. Smylie's business to stop all
water waste where possible.

ing the rebels from their entrenched
and fortified positions. Furthermore,
the Federals did not show the same ag-
gressiveness which marked their action
In the early days of the battle. This is
believed to be due to the fact that they
realize the present forces of the gov
eminent are not of sufficient strength
to defeat the rebels.
General Huerta announced, however,
that he expected soon to begin an en-
circling movement in which bombs
would be used at short range.

eminent, and will be placed in COM

Both Sunday and Monday Madero ap-
peared sanguine of the ultimate sue

that the outlook was optimistic and
that he had been offered support of

MADAME X" IS
A Strong PLAY
SMALL AUDIENCE FAIRLY WELL
PLEASED = MISS FRENcH's
COMPANY ONLY AVERAGE.

Miss Adelaide French. supported by
a well balanced, but none too strong
company, in the drama of mother-love,
Madame k pleased small audi
ence at the Auditorium last night.
The play, dealing with the respon-
silibity of husband for the marital
success and happiness of his wife,
closes with an almost tragic scene,
which is by far the strongest in the
four acts.
A young lawyer making his first ap-
pearance before court, is told after
the trial that his client, an outcast
woman, who had killed her lover, is
his mother who had been driven from
home by her husband twenty years
before because of a false step, and
whose existence had been unknown to
the son. In his defense of the woman
an unexplainable emotion inspires the
young man to do his best, and when
the woman touches his hand during his
address he is fired with such zeal that
ne moves his father. who is a famous
lawyer, to tears, and wins the case.
After the acquittal the mother and son
acknowledge each other, but before the
husband can reach her she died out of
the happiness she had experienced.
Miss French as Madame x" was but
little better than each of the other
members in their parts.
Frederick Baldwin as Laroque. the
adventurer and lover killed by Ma
dame x, was certainly as finished In |
his work as were the other gentlemen
supposed to play more important parts.
Malcolm Owen. as Raymond Floriot,
the young lawyer, and son Of Madame
x. was inconsequential at all times ex-
cept in the court scene, when he was
making his plea.
There is but little humor in INA

later their perturbation upon being

In compliance with numerous requests

appearance OF that organization, the Salt
Lake Philharmonic orchestra yesterday
announced It's first concert. which Is 10

day, April 6.
When this orchestra was organized its
members intended chiefly to promote
among themselves better understanding.
Interpretation and rendition OF creations
or the master composers There was no
idea entertained that public concert worl:
that the training received by the indi-
vidual members would find It's way into
such channels as would bring about bet
ter public appreciation of good music
and OF higher standards In musical taste.
Ono by one, however, lovers OF good or
chestra music drifted to the weekly re-
hearsals of the organization, and these
carried to their friends enthusiastic re-
ports of the work OF this particular
group OF instrumentalists.
One OF the results OF this gossip among
the musicians was enlistment of the In
terest OF members Of the faculties Of
educational institutions throughout the
state. Many OF them have been among
those making request for public ap-
pearance OF the orchestra, their com
municatlons to Director Anton Pedersen
and Secretary c. j. Hawkins of the or
chestra reciting a personal appreciation
OF the value of effects OF good music
upon lne Tn1nd9 OF StudenLS II WAS Sole
'ly on account of these urgent appeals
that the members of the orchestra. AT
their latest rehearsal, decided to give q
concert during conference time, when
many students and pupils from cities and
towns outside OF Salt Lake will he visit
ing In this city.
As further Indicating the devotion OF
the orchestra's members TO their work,
they determined that every dollar of the
proceeds OF this concert shall go into
the treasury and that no performer shall
receive pecuniary compensation for his
work The money IS 10 be utilized for
the purpose of still further advancing the
cause OF high musical standards In Utah,
The next rehearsal OF the orchestra VII
bo held at X OF p. hall on Tuesday
morning. commencing at 10 o'clock. Di-
rector Petersen desires orchestra mem
