Newspaper stories. repeated his denisls
of any dealings in Marconi shares.
Interest is focused in the closing
speeches of Premier Asquith and Sir Ed
ward Grey. secretary for foreign affairs,
tomorrow.
London, June 1S.--rhe climax of the
Marconi shares scandal was reached to-
day. Cabinet ministers involved, were
given their first opportunity of making
a public explanation of the transactions
which had caused the most acute party
strife known in British politics for many
years.
Every seat in the house of commons and
all Of the public galleries were filled in
anticipation Of the debate.
George Cave, unionist member, moved
vote of censure of the cabinet, but
cleared the air somewhat by disclaiminy
at the outset any intention of charging
personal corruption against any Of the
ministers concerned. He said: What l
suggest is that two cabinet ministers and
one former cabinet minister have CON-
mitted breaches of certain rules and ira
ditions after this house and indeed of
all public life, without which public life
would be impossible"
Inside Information
In purchasing shares on 'inside'' in
formation given 70 them by Godfrey
lsaacs,. managing director of the Mar
conf company, the cabinet ministers. ac
cording to Mr.. Cave. broke the rule that
no cabinet minister should take favor
or an advantage from government con-
tractor.
Mr.. Cave complained that in making
no references to these purchases during
the debate in the house of commons in
October last the cabinet ministers had
not dealt fairly with the house. In con-
cluding he said the majority Of the in
vestigating committee by adopting re-
port which freely spread that .'pigment
which covers but does not clear had rem
cered the worst possible service to the
ministers.
Admitted Error
Attorney General Isaacs in reply, ad-
mitted that he had made an error of judg-
ment.
He accepted responsibility for the trans
action and said that whatever blame
there was should fall upon him and no..
upon Chancellor Lloyd-Ceorge. nor Barop
Murray OF Elibank. the former chief lib
eral whip.
Chancellor Lloyd George also admitted
thnt ''having regard to the circumstances
Il would have been indefinitely better If
the whole of the facts had been placed
before tn house of commons last Oc-
tober."

New York, June 1S.-- Especial 1.-The
Iron Age will say tomorrow: The ten
dencies evident in finished material
markets for some weeks are becoming
better defined. The chief divergence in
viws of the outcome is over the pre-
diction by some in the trade buying
movement when the tariff bill passes,
if large crops are assured On the
other hand is the belief that large
forward buying when it comes again
will only be at considerably lower
prices and that meanwhile consumers
will not buy far ahead of their require
ments. On lighter products, specifica =
tions are falling off and unless there
is an improvement slowing down in
production of sheets, tin plate and wire
is to be looked for.
In spite of the amount of structural
work in sight important general con-

nounced.

Tha parsian Garden.

For an afternoon of music of the
character of Mrs. Lehmann's The
Persian Garden, after a setting from
the Rubalyat of Omar Khayyan, there
was a goodly audience assembled at
the Civic Center hall Thursday after
noon to hear It's Interpretation by the
Hazleton quartette the personnel Of
which was, Mrs. Jessie Hazleton Aske-
gard, soprano; Lillian C. Wright,
contralto; Sam H. Kantor, tenor; and
P. A. Rudd, baritone, all of Moorhead
except Mr.. Rudd. The difficult selec-
ton was made the programme for the
regular meeting of the music section
of the Fine Arts club. The mere men
ton of the names of the Quartette is
sufficient warranty that the work was
sung very acceptably, it is an ensemble
of singers who attempt any
thing without feeling assured that the
rendition will be worth while and re-
pay for the trouble taken to go out on
a cold afternoon to hear 1t There was
a beautiful blending of voices and
those who were there consider they
were given a real musical treat.

Wagner Celebrations.

Many Wagner centennial celebra-
tons, continue In continental towns,
says the Berlin correspondent Of The
Musical Courier. The German Wom-
ms Richard Wagner society had a
celebration at Wiesbaden. Professor
Mannstaedt conducted the orchestra.
Everything passed off quietly without
any particular enthusiasm. But at
Worms on the-Rhine there was no
snail pass in the proceedings. The
local singing societies Joined in the
fray and there was beer and wine.
The chorus produced numbers from
The Flying Dutchman, Tannhauser-
not to mention the Pilgrims Choral
and the Meistersinger. A young local
sang the Senta ballad sentimentally,
and Miss ~Baruch-New York knows
the name-did accompanying on a
loaned grand.
At Liege the Wagner celebrants
called in the tenor Heinrich Hensel,
of the Hamburg opera, and had Otto
Lohse from Leipsic on a first-class
ticket and return and gave two per-
formances.
Brussels also had a Wagner memo
randum concert and there were many
present who were acquainted with one
another.

Tho Dread of Novelty.

Kansas City Star: Perhaps four
persons out Of five who see the new
8 cent piece for the first time do not
like it. The real reason is that it
is new. There is always a vigorous
minority to welcome novelties Of
every sort, in cooking, in arrangement
of furniture, in buildings, or what not.
But the average man doesn't enjoy
the disturbance hat the new makes
in the channels Of his brain. The old
familiars look good to him. Sometimes
entire civilizations have been caught
in the net of the old and have never
freed themselves. The fact that the
modern age has made progress an
ideal is really astonishing when one
reflects on the difficulty of getting &C
CustOmed to novelties.
