sign.
.The experiences of the last three
years have taught bankers and BUSH
ness men a lesson, and rs q result
they are operating in a more conser-

case. Business although somewhat
quiet. is, I think being. operated on
a sound basis everywhere, and on

pecially when the difficulties of the
last. three years are considered

MUSICAL CULTURE
URGED BY NORTON
Speaker at Fortnightly Club
Makes Plea for Public
School Training.

Systematic musical instruction in
the public schools vas urged by w.
w. Norton Of the state university in
his address on Ministry Of Music
given before the Fortnightly. club at
the public library Monday night.
Mr.. Norton said that the United
States had been slow to embody the
study of music in it's schools. He de:
clared that there should be a -four
year course in music in the high
schools and an eight year course in
the grades. Music. he said, was quite
as important to the pupil as Latin. OIL
English.
Excellent work is being done in
this state along these lines, according
to Mr.. Norton, especially by the music
section of the. n. D. f. A.
The speaker described music as he
Ing one of the means of expressing
emotion, and when compared with
others the most adequate. He said
that of the three great relations of
man with the universe namely. "a.
tional, emotional and physical. the
emotional was the most important.
He also pointed out the social func.
ton of music which was, he said. the
highest type Of recreation among All
classes, furnishing a relief to the
machine like drudgery Of workine
hours, which has become a part Of orr
social and economic system.

kRAfCHEKO IS GONE FOR
GOOD IS POLICE FEAR
CONTINUED from Page ~
Winnipeg View Of Escape

The Winnipeg Free Press comments
editorially on the escape Of Kraf-
chenko as follows
The extraordinary public interest
In the escape from custody of John
Krafchenko arises from the wide
spread belief that this is something
more than a duel between a resource
full and daring desperate and the
forces Of law and order. The view
has been widely held that Krafchen-
ko Is a part, If not the directing mind,
of some secret, and sinister organize
.tion, which can command assistance
in unexpected quarters and has am.
pie resources at It's call.
! This theory. which had q fantastic
air a week ago., takes body and form
from the circumstances: attendant
nonchalant contempt, displayed In
court, for the processeslof the law no
longer has the air Of sheer bravado;
but rather suggests a confidence
which the sequel showed to be we'll
based. His escape ha6 all the ap-
pearance Of. q well planned plot. car
ried out by daring and resourceful
men; and his disappearance. as
indicstss that careful separations
made for this contingency.
-Under conditions such q these it
ID not surprtSing that the most extra
ordinary and apparently pFpposterous
rumofs should be epidem4c a. to the
extent and nature Q fsHKfa1chenko's
criminal ai1liations. fAosogg can only
be laid by all the Particular Of this

John J. Coyle, attorney: Yes. I

Ing missed that before daylight train

William Dyck, the mar who drove
the murder car" has not yet return
ed to Plum Coulee. He is thought to
be under the protection Of the police
in Winnipeg. Witnesses at that point
who gave damaging evidence against
Krafchenko do not seem to be alarm
ed at the prospect of the desperate
seeking revenge. 1t is the general
belief that he is not of a vindictive
nature.
The latest mystery developed at the
police commission inquiry is how
krafchenko gained admittance to the
Photographic room. The police
photographer stated positively that
the door was locked. He had the key
in his pocket and produced it.
Aid. F. H. Davidson, chairman OF
the police commission, expressed his
full confidence in the integrity OF the
police. He is much annoyed at re-
ports of police completely in the. es-
cape. and asks that comment be with
held for the present.
A sensational new story. told by
Crown Prosecutor Hastings, who at
tended the opening session Of the po-
lice commission, is that one Of the
heavy steel bars on the window of the
"Old Kitchen" in which krafchenko
was confined, was found to have been
forced four inches out of the cement
in which it was embedded. Some
strong tool was used as a powerful
lever. The nut on the steel bar had
been removed. Police guards had
stated that krafchenko tried to force
these bars with spare boards in the
cell. No marks of violent usage was
found on these boards. Two new
mysteries are presented. How was
this work done by an, outside accom-
plice or by krafchenko in the pres
ence of two guards constantly on
duty? Why should Krafchenko select
this method of escape when he had a
key to the cell door in his pocket?

Policemen Suspended.

the police commission, declared after
the session yesterday afternoon, that
|Constables Reid and Flower. who had
been with Krafchenko Immediately
proceeding his escape from the cen
trail station in Saturday morning, had
been relieved from regular duty, but
not suspended. and in the meantime
they were doing inside work in the
station. He said these were all the
suspensions that had been consider
ed. Nevertheless it was found later
that notice had been posted on the
official bulletin board at the police
station that Constables Reid and
Flower had been suspended.
