music more pronounced than was

this large body of musicians.

ly interesting and varied, thereby
showing a broad-minded conception
of the moods and temperaments OF
an audience who evidently keeniy

was the overture from Weber's Der

While as "A symphony this one OF
Beethoven's is not typical neverthe-
less it Possesses much infinite charm
and strikes tenderly the keynote o
, fun and merriment and, while It per

VEREEN Of MOULTRIE
MAKING STRONG RACE

Atlanta, Feb. 21.-Never has the
campaign of a man practically I'M
known in politics, been given such i'm
petus in so short a time as that Of W.
u c. Vereen, of Moultrie, for appointment
to the United States senate to succeed
the late Senator Bacon for the ad in
term term, or until the November cleo
ton.
Hundreds of letters and kilograms
have poured in upon the governor tn 2
last two days from many of the most
prominent men CT southwest Georgia,
urging the governor to name Mr.. We
reen for the short term. 1t has been a
perfect deluge of endorsements to the
governors desk, and from a man who
was little known in connection with
the senatorial situation, he has sudden
ly developed into one who will have to
be considered seriously.
A large delegation of well known cit
liens from Colquitt and other south
west Georgia counties, has been here
the past two days, and they have had
Mr.. Vereen's candidacy up with Gov
ernor Slaton. Although no intimation
has come from the governor as to his
purpose, they profess to have strong
belief in Mr.. Vereen's chances.
1t is expected the appointment will be
made by Governor Slaton about Tues
day or Wednesday. The names now
most prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the appointment are those
Of Clark Howell, of Atlanta; former
Governor Jos. NJ Brown, of Marietta;
John T. Bolfeuillet, of Macon; w. S.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20. -
Framing of the administration trust
and commerce regulation, bills went
forward on the house side Of the cap
ital yesterday. A conference of the iu-
dietary subcommittee on trusts, com
prising Representatives Clayton, Cac-
lin and Floyd, was arranged to put
finishing touches on the bill proposing
to prohibit holding companies from
owning competing concerns.
Chairman Covington, eff the house
commerce subcommittee on the in
terstate trade committee will was pre-
pared today to go ahead with execu-
tive conference to frame the measure
with the limitations of President Will
sons suggestion to avoid provisions
that might impair the efficiency Of
the Sherman law.
Indications today were that bills
relating to holding companies with
trade relations, interlocking directo-
rates and defining trade restraints
would be presented finally to the
house as a single consolidated plan to
strengthen the antitrust law.
Conferences between Chairman
Sims and other committeeman with
the interstate commerce commission
indicate that the following PROPOSE

posed railway capitalization law
