Garfield Musicians Win Praise
in Opening Festival Number

One thousand persons thoroughly
enjoyed the first concert in the series
given at the Coliseum by the May
Music School Festival yesterday after
noon when the members Of the Gar
field orchestra, under the personal di-
rection of Miss Elizabeth Sands, ap-
peared for the first time in public re-
cital.
The young musicians play with a
spirit and dash that is unusual in sew
enth and eighth grade pupils.
One of the attractions of the after
moons program was the beautiful vio-
lin number Gypsy Dance" Op. "a,
written by Machez, and played by
Prof. Fred Hicks. Miss Ruth Peltz, a
well known musician, of this city, was
his accompanist. SO we'll did Mr.
Hicks play that he was forced to re-
spond to an encore, his last number
proving as charming and entertaining
as the original one. Miss Cecil HILL
a student at Earlham college. and who
has won scholarship at Chicago uni
versty, sang the Norman and Mer-
maid" Miss Hill has pretty voice
and knows how to control it. Her
number was certainly appreciated

AESTHETIC DANCES

branches of physical training as they
are now taught in the public schools
of Richmond will be given as the clos
ing attraction at the May Festival for
1914, when 600 students of all ages,
and from all the schools of the city,
will occupy the entire evening with
dances, drills, games and calisthenics.
Special features of the program will
be the aesthetic dances by the girls of
the high school, and the demonstra-
tion of model work by eight students
from the Normal College of the North

physical training in the schools said
that it is offered as demonstration of
actual work rather than special prepa-
ration for public presentation. "The
work that will be offered this evening"
he said, "is a type Of what is being
done continually in the schools of the
city. The different dances. drills, and
games are all used daily in the teach
ing Of physical training"
The high school orchestra will fur
nish the music for part of the dane
es and the victrola, which is common
ly used In school work. will be en-
ployed for the remainder.

FULL DINNER PAIL,
PLEA OF UNCLE JOE
IN CONGRESS RACE
Cannon Argues Wilson Ad-
ministratiOn Has Given the
Average American Less to
Eat Than Republicans.
TBY LEASED WIRE1

DANVILLE Ill.,, May 23.-T be-
lieve that the Wilson Democratic ad-
ministration has given the average
American less to eat than he had un-
der a Republican administration. That
is the basis upon which shall run for
congress in this district. 1t ought to
be the basis of the platform upon
which every Republican candidate for
congress should be elected from coast
to coast"
Joseph Gurney Cannon, former
speaker of the house of representa-
tives made that statement today in
the library of his home here.
"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating said "Uncle joe" leaning
across mahogany library table 81
am willing to leave to the people of
my district whether or not the pud-
ding e~rved by Wilson and Bryan, has
been 20 their likening. If it has not
been, 1t should be returned to them"
Wants To Be Shown.
Mr.. Cannon stamped an emphatic
foot as he said: 81 am not going to
oUuoO ryan HOT ItOOS0N cit
nor anybody else, but l am going to
call upon them to show wherein their
policies have been a success
THE Wilson administration has
been tearing down business, big busi-
ness, if you care to phrase it that way,
but the business upon which the
bread and butter of this country are
dependent. l am against that line of
policy I stand for the upbuilding of
business, which means the upbuilding
of the whole people"
"Any proposed repeal of the Pana-
ma Canal tolls exemption is ridiculous
un-American," he said 81 voted for
that clause of the bill, and am certain
now, as ever, that I was right.
ut may be that l am a little old
fashioned and out of date, but l do not
believe that the American people are
today ready to concede that they were
wrong in saying that our own ships
should pass through our own canal
without the payment of tolls, no mat
ter what any foreign country may say
on the subject"

BEVER|DGE MEETS
WITH ROOSEVELT

OYSTER BAY, May 23-Political
conditions relating to the probability
of Progressive victories in Indiana
and New York were taken under con-
sideration today by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. Among the visitors ex-
pected this afternoon we're ex-senator
Albert j. Beveridge of Indiana, and
Theodore Douglas Robinson, chairman
Of the New York state committee.
They were slated to present a COM
plete analysis Of conditions in their
states and make recommendations as
to the program to be followed. 1t is
probab BILE that Col. Roosevelt will cam
paign in both these states this fall.
All the talk about an amalgamation
Of the Progressive and the Republican
parties is without foundation, accord
ing to James r. Garfield of Ohio, sec
retary of the interior under Roosevelt,
who came to confer with Roosevelt
1--WE do not need them and have no
desire to unite" said Mr. Garfield
"Out in Ohio the Progressive party is
working strong and enthusiastically
We are not only sanguine but quite
certain Of victory"

Mrs. Ray Longnecker, a popular sing
er of this city, sang Lullaby" by Ag-
mes McFail.
The orchestra played incoming
Serenade,' by King. After the rem
dition Of this number much favorable
comment was heard on all sides.
The main attraction, however, of the
afternoons program was the cantata,
THE Fairies Festival" by Aiken, ar
ranged for orchestration by Prof
Ralph C. Sloane. A chorus of some
four hundred voices composed of chill
q - in the seventh and eighth grades,
both boys and girls, sang the entire
cantata without manuscript. This was
remarkable and was also very impress
sive. The children's voices seemed
to blend in a remarkable manner and
they seemed to feel each melody and
rhythm of the entire number. At the
close they were heartily applauded
Miss Sands has trained the children
and has certainly demonstrated her
ability as chorus leader as we'll as
leader Of an orchestra.
At the close the various musicians
in charge were presented with beau
tiful flowers.

UNGUARDED FORTUNE
SAFE IN TRAIN SHED
Shipment of $4,000 Remains
All Night in the Pennsy
Station.
Possibly if $4,000 had been placed

Possibly if $4,000 had been placed
under guard instead of being left on
an express truck in the train sheds at
the Pennsylvania station, some des-
perate character would have made a
determined effort to secure the for
tune. Since it was permitted to re-
main entirely neglected in its place on
the express truck all of one night, it
was as safe as though in the vaults
of the United States treasury.
There was some excitement, how
ever, at the station when the discov-
cry was made that this large fortune
had been overlooked and left to the
mercy Of any one who would have
been able to make away with 1t.
Express men at the station have
nothing to say about this incident, and
railroad men are also discreetly silent.
but the story of how $4,000 left here
for transfer, was overlooked, leaked
out just the same.
Gossip says that it became known
that $4,000 in coin had been left on a
truck throughout the night when the
express men checked up shipments
received on the following day. The
treasure trove was not to be found
in the office, gossip also has it, but
when it was found in the train shed
there was chorus of exclamations
of relief.

versy in which Lydia Miles attempted
to compromise with Benjamin Miles.
Offering him a life estate in farm for
$40O and a divorce, the case again
went to trial this afternoon in circuit

The Miles case is attracting consid-
cradle attention as both Mr. and Mrs.
Miles are we'll known in Jackson town

ty years ago and has tried several
times to get a divorce but no court
will grant it. Miles has fought bitter
ly any attempt on her part to divorce
him and has won out each time.
Mrs. Miles, who testified against
her husband more than a week ago
when the present cast first came up,
today made him an offer through her
attorneys, of a life estate In the big
farm which they own jointly. for the
consideration Of $4OO cash and a d.
vorce.

at compromise but says he will stick
to his case and defend himself He

charges against him are false and that
he will also win out against her in
this case.

The high school singers appeared
to special advantage in the chorus,
THE Heavens Are Telling" which
they sang with good volume, and bal
ance. The orchestra accompaniment
was also especially good in this num-
Der. Concerning the work of the cho-
rus, the soloists were very enthusias-
tic, and complimented Mr.. Sloane on
the splendid accomplishments in this
branch of school work. They also COM
mented on the piano accompaniments,
played by Miss Marjorie Beck. as un-
usual work for high school student.
Marks New Era.
The success Of the entire program
is considered significant, as 1t is the
first time in the history Of Richmond's
musical festivals that the high school
chorus, or any childrens chorus has
appeared in a work of the magnitude
Of "The Creation" Prof. Sloane says
that it is only step in the work that
he hopes to accomplish in the local
schools, and he intends to attempt a
work Of similar size for the festival
in the coming year.
The Accomplishments for the entire
oratorio are very difficult, and the
thirty high school players. assisted by
several members of the Symphony or
chestra, did the work WE'LL although
a lack of volume was evident in sew
eral places, which was due to thin
orchestration, rather than failure on
the part of those in the orchestra. The
orchestra played the introduction to
the Creation with excellent tone and
shading, the string section showing
UP well in technique, and the quality
of the brass section being noticeable
Gentle Shows Technique.
Between the first and second parts
of the oratorio, two numbers, violin
concerto, played by Robert Gentle, and
a song by Mr.. Dodd, were offered. Mr..
Gentle played Concerto No. Z, by
Rode, and exhibited technique and
Sal Of a high order The Sea Song"
which Mr.. Dodd sung is the compost
ton of Miss Hilda Kirkman, a high
tive, and Mr.. Dodd sang it to great ad
vantage.
On account of the great length of
the Creation the last part was omit
ted.
because of the large crowds that
are patronizing the Festival. it is be-
lieved that the alumni association,
which has charge of the finances Of
the affair, will receive a fund of con-
siderable size. The proceeds over and
above expenses which will go to this
fund will be used in the education of
deserving high school students who
would be unable to finish their course
without assistance.
This afternoon the high school or
chestra appeared in concert, and this
evening an exhibition of Physical
training and dancing as taught by the
physical department of the Richmond
schools will be given by 500 Richmond
school children of varying ages, under
the direction of Mr.. Robert Nohr.

A burglar entered the home of Les
ter Armer, 1915 South B street, be-
tween 1880 and $3.50 o'clock last night,
while members of the family were

rest has been made. Armer reports
that the thief secured three rings, one
valuable X. of p. design, one gold
watch and a gold bracelet. They are
valued at 500.
Mr.. Armer says that. apparently, the
kitchen door was left unlocked and
that the thief gained access to the
house in that manner. When mem
bers of the family returned home
they at once knew that 1t had been
visited by burglar during their alb
sence. because of the condition of
things.
Recently a burglar entered a home
on North d street with a skeleton key
and secured some jewelry. This raid
was made in broad daylight Later
the home of Alfred Bavis was broken
into. but no valuables were taken. Mr
Bavis lives on North Thirteenth street
A few nights ago a man tried to en-
ter a home at North Tenth and C
street by climbing to the top Of the
rear porch. He was frightened away
and departed in such hurry that he
left his hat on the porch roof.

MASTER HAYDN'S "CREAT|ON"
Music Lovers Highly Pleased When
High School Students, Directed by
Professor Sloane, Sing Masterpiece

Before an audience Of local patrons
Of music that nearly Allied the Coli
seum, Prof. Ralph G. Sloane, director
OF music in the public schools, pre-
scented the high school chorus of $50
voices in Haydn's oratorio, The Crea-
tion," last evening. with Miss Gretch-
en- Morris, soprano; Mr.. Walter
Vaughn, tenor; and Mr. John Dodd,
baritone; all of Cincinnati, as soloists.
The Accomplishments were played for
the choruses by a picked orchestra of
thirty members from the high school,
and for the soloists by string quar-
tette, with piano.
The floor and balconies Of the Coli
Scum were filled almost to capacity,
and the gallery above was occupied
by several hundred school children,
who are to take part in the gymnas-
tic exhibition this evening The audi
ence was at all times interested and
appreciative. and received both the
sOloists and chorus with true May
estival enthusiasm. Flowers were
presented by friends to Prof. Sloane,
Miss Morris, and several Of the young
artists. Except for some slight dis
turbances of no great duration in the
gallery, the audience was exceptional
ly quiet and attentive.
The concert last night was a dis
tinct departure from former customs,
for never before has a high school
chorus appeared in a work as ambi-
tious as the Creation" The heavy
choruses were rendered with as much
volume and quality of tone as would
be expected from an adult chorus,
and the soloists were entirely capable
for their different parts.
Miss Morris Talented.
Miss Gretchen Morris, who sang the
part Of Gabriel, is a young woman Of
exceptional talent and her appear
ance in Richmond for the first time
was received with delight by the audi
ence. She possesses a voice Of Won
derful clarity and lyric beauty, and
seems to have plenty of reserve at
all times. Not once in the course of
the whole concert did the listener fell
that her tones were anything but nor
NAL. Her work in Cincinnati has at
tracted much recent attention, and the
management of the May Festival was
Indeed fortunate in securing a singer
of not only present capabilities of
high order, but with great promises
for the future.
Mr.. Vaughn is lyric tenor of worth
and his work in the part of Uriel was
done with delicacy of tone and in
depreciation that won the audience
Mr.. Dodd sang the difficult recitatives
In which the Oratorio, and the part of
Raphael especially abounds, with
much grace and sincerity His voice
has good range and depth of tone, and
IS not sufficiently robust to be harsh
The three sOlOists were exceptionally
good in trio work, their voices blend
ing splepdidly.

Secretary Charles w. Jordan, of

telling Of this incident of the Rich
mond booster trip to Union City

When the Palladium car arrived
ahead of the other machines, a
large crowd collected about it, and
its occupants began distributing
Pal fly swatters.
DR.. Frank Reynard took one and
remarked, That's the idea; swat
the fly. Richmond must be a fine
place to live, because it must be
a wide-awake. up-to-date town."
Just then he was handed q copy

"1'll take it all back what I said
about Richmond a minute ago. Any

commented DR.. Reynard, disgusted-
ly, and walked away.
