FREEMAN TO BAIL

New York, April 7.-Counsel for Albert
Freeman, who with Julian Hawthorne
and DIR. William j. Morton, was con-
victed of using the mails to defrapd in
connection with Canadian mining claims
today asked the federal court to admit
Freeman to bail pending his appeal froa
his five year sentence. Freeman is now
in the Tombs.
District Attorney Wise opposed the
application. declaring that Freeman con-
trolled large interests in Canada and that
if admitted to bail he probably would
go there, where he could not be brought
back. as the offense for which he was
convicted is not extraditable.
Arguments on the petition will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

however, believed that the dominion
would reap material benefit from the pro-
posed new schedules. It was said that
Canada's milling industry with its great
field of production, should be able to OBJ
tain wide expansion of trade in United
States markets. Tariff students were
not certain whether the proposed reduc-
tion in the grain schedule would be suf-
fcient to broaden the markets of western
Canada, but they believed 1t would have
this effect. The coal mines and the fish
cries of Nova Scotia, it was pointed out,
would benefit and farmers generally
would welcome the placing of swine on
the free list.

"The only true course that can be
pursued to expand our foreign. trade

GREAT TALKING
PICTURES Shown
A TEST OUT OF THE NEW INVEN-
TON TOOK PLACE AT THE Or
PHEuM THEATRE THIS MORN
ING AND THEY ARE WORKING
IN PERFECT MANNER.

The new talking pictures that have
been introduced in the Orpheum the
atre were given a tryout this morning
and found to work perfectly. A spe-
cially prepared machine for throwing
the pictures has been placed in the
house In the machine loft in the gallery.
This is equipped by a series of about
forty pulleys which run from the ma
chine through the house to the i'm
mense monograph, which has been
placed in the stage, but hidden from
sight. Over these pulleys run two
heavy silk n linen threads, which
pull the monograph as the pictures
are shown, the whole making a perfect
illusion, as though the people in the
pictures were actually singing or talk
ing.
It took the better part Of two days
to get the machinery into working or
der, but 1t will certainly prove to be an
attraction.
One of the nictures which was shown
was that of a lecturer delivering an
address on the Edison picture bust
ness n his talk and gestures were
shown. Another Of the pictures is a
full t1edged minstrel show, the first
part, showing the men in the circle,
the orchestra, and while the men are
going through their antics, the singing
and other music are presented by the
phonograph. It Is a wonderful inven-
ton n Manager Fowler is very much
pleased that he is the first in this state
to introduce it.

fine PROGRAMME

STEPHENS IN FARGO COLLEGE
CHAPEL.

The Girls Glee club of Fargo coll
lege gave an exceptional programme
Saturday evening, n that was a sur
prise to the entire audience. The So
prano section contains excellent ma
terial and the lower section was solid
and clear in tone.
The young ladies, sixteen in num-
Der, looked very beautiful as they sat
in their places on the platform, attir-
ed in white. The remarkable fact was
that no director was in sight. Pro-
lessor Stephens, who so ably directed
them in practice. drilled them to ap-
pear in this way, taking their cues
from one of their own number. The
attacks and holds were well executed,
and the ensemble effects clear and
harmonious.
Directly preceding the programme
the young ladies presented Mr.. Steph-
ems with a pair of solid gold cuff links
as a sign of their appreciation for his
faithful work this year. n with a re-
quest hat he decline his offer for an
other position, and remain at Fargo
college.

1t was the unanimous opinion of
everyone present that this programme
should be rendered again, in order that
the public might hear it. The work
was indeed remarkable for such a
combination and if given later would
