Yesterday was Kryl day in the Chau-

noon and last night at East End park
Bohumir Kry and his famous band drew
Immense crowds. The great tent was
filled In the afternoon, and last night for
the first time since the entertainments
began, there was an overflow house.
Competent critics had high praise only
Tor kryl He came fully up to all prom
ises. His band is composed entirely of
artists and he himself is magnetic and
masterful leader. Some of the older music
lovers can remember when band masters
or band conductors were simply time
beaters. 1t is very different today All
first class band conductors as we'll as
symphony orchestra conductors are inter-
pretative. Kryl belongs distinctly to the
interpretative class. His vigorous attacks
are always clean cut and even and his
rhythmic accentuaton indicates both
virle temperament and good modern
schooling.
The afternoon programme opened with
the beautiful and brilliant overture.

Paper Comments

London, June I'm an editorial this
morning on the banquet rendered Ambas-
sador Page last night, the Times says
1.-THE presence and the speeches at the
banquet last night of such men as Sir
Edward Grey and Earl Roberts were
meant to convince Mr.. Page that the
welcome extended him, however local IN
form, is national in the feeling behind It
and that it would be against the grain OF
British instinct, II no distinction were
TO be drawn between American and other
ambassadors. The literary traditions and
associations which mark out the American
embassy in London. from all other em-
bassies in all other capitals, will assuredly
lose none of the brightness under Mr..
Pages care.

AMBASSADOR PAGE
RENDERED BANQUET
BY PILGRIM SOCIETY
tContinucd from Pnge one)


America is based not merely upon kim
ship of race of community of religion
or language. l believe it is based upon
the sure basis of feeling of down
right repugnance on both sides of the
ocean that the peace between Great
Britain and America ever should be dis
turbed. A peace proposal from such a
quarter as from the United States
would come under no suspicion of being
inspired by any feeling of pusillanimi-
ty by any national interest or by any
desire of securing an advantage in dis
arming or placing at disadvantage
any other nation"
In conclusion, the foreign secretary
said:
"As great as is the friendly feeling
between us today, that friendly feeling
will, l trust, still grow and grow.
After all, to whatever degree 1t de-
velops however strong it becomes,
/ believe it is i. their wish, and
am sure it is ours, that the friendly
feeling between the two countries.
though it may serve as an example to
all antions, should never be a menace
to any"

RESIGNATION OF BULGARIAN
CABINET is ACKNOWLEDGED

Bulgarian and Servian premiers, the
agreement between them would be with
out authority and the proposed meeting
between the four Balkan premiers, said
to have been set for Sunday, probably will
not take place.
The Greek delegates attended the peace
conference today, but the Turks remained
stubborn and refused to agree to tie terms
of the protocol. The delegates, however,
reached an agreement on the following
points: To grant full amnesty to all COM
batants in the late war for a period of
three years; to allow Ottomans living In
annexed territories to arrange to emigrate
If they desire to retain their Turkish ma
tionality, and to resume postal and tele-
graphic communication between Turkey

II began with Webers 'JubaF' overture
Leo Zelenka- -Lerando, the harpist played
as the second number one of his own COM
positions called 'Tmpromptu''-very bril-
liant technically. For an encore he
played "Old Black joe"
Number three was Strauss concert
waltz 'Stores of the Forest of VIENNA"
with a section of the band stationed near
the entrance to the tent playing the
echoes Part one closed with Michaelis'
well known and popular descriptive piece,
The Village Blacksmith Introducing
the costumed corps of musical black

After the intermission Mr.. Kryl enter
tained the audience with. cornet solos
which were received withSgreat enthusi-
asm. Then came Liszts symphonic poem,
Les Preliides' This is standard work
for symphony orehestras and 1t is played
by the modern wind bands, too, but 1t
requires very fine body of players to
render it acceptably Kryl. having the
artists and the proper distribution Of in
struments gave 1t singularly fine rem
dering. There were many band encores
ut night and one of the most appreciated
was Paderewski's minuet. The pro-
gramme closed with 1.-The Death of Gus
ter" or 'The Battle of the Little Big
Horn"
If Kryl and his band come to Birming-
ham next year it is reasonable to say
that no tent will be big enough to hold
half the people that will press to hear
the concerts. .4
Blanks were circulated through the
audience last night for subscriptions to

The management had hoped to receive
applications for as many as 1000 tickets
and it was announced from tile stage that

about 1925 tickets.
The programme has been changed for
this afternoon and tonight. In response
to request from the Chamber of Com
merce, Governor Joseph Folk of Missouri
will deliver his lecture, THE Fight For
State" tonight and the magician,
Laurant will appear this afternoon in a
children's matinee. The chamber made
this request because there were many
of the business men who wished to hear
Governor Folk and could go better at
night after business hours and also be-
cause Laurants performance is especially
for the children and the parents of the
city can take their children better in the
afternoon than al night.
The Mozart trio will render the musical
part of both programmes today the aft
ernoon and evening. Governor Folks
lecture is regarded as one of the impor-
tant features of the Chautauqua. He is
known all over the country as one of
the ablest orators on the American plat
form and his career as governor of Mis-
souri, when he cleaned things up is
we'll remembered.

RIDDLE DECLARES ROADS MUST
SHOW PIP RATE CONFISCATORY

II Is question of fact and not of law
and that the railroads must offer evil
dence to show that the 21s cent rate
is eonfiscatory in every cause tried
This would mean that a world of
expense would be incurred by the rail-
roads in litigation and would really
mean the nullifcation OF order permit
ting them to charge cents per mile.
J. NJ Adams offered to pay the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad 2% cents per
mile and was put off the train by the
conductor. who would not accept less
than cents per mile. Mr.. Riddle holds
that the railroad must show confisca-
tion in this case we'll as all others
where a similar question is involved.
