VISITING BAND ID
 GIVE TWO CONCERTS
 AT THE PARK TODAY
Overland Organization Mak- ing Tour of 5000 Miles Be- fore Returning to Fac
 tory at Toledo

Paradoxical lives are led by the 50
 members of the Overland band who arrive
 in Birmingham this morning aboard a special train carrying them back to Ohio
 from Houston. Tex. The band formed the
 escort of honor for the Ohio- Michigan , contingent to the International convention
 of Rotary clubs. which has just ended. For hours each day the bandsmen are workers at the Willys-Overland factory in Toledo, a place of grime and uproar, where giant lathes and monster presses twist and bend raw steel into automo- piles. But when the whistle blows at the end of the day. life for them begins on a more esthetic plane. They desert the realms of work and ascend to the heights of music.
 The personnel of the organization fur
 nlshes contrast which borders on the incongruous. The manager of the band is a vice president of the Overland com pany and member of the Toledo Rotary club. The solo cornetist Is a Russian em- igant who landed at Ellis Island a month and a half ago after having been driven from the Czar's domains by threats of imprisonment. He had been thoughtless enough to send his son to this country without first forcing him to serve out a ter moi enlistment in the army. As he was member of the Russian Symphony orchestra for number of years he is considered very much of a find" by the Overland band.
 The band president is an assistant in the office of the general superintendent SI.. youth of IS, is an electrician, while the | oldest who boasts 53 years, makes call l ing of painting automobile bodies. Other l of the musicians are bookkeepers, black smiths, motor testers, machnists and | master craftsmen in many widely diversi- | fled departments of the large factory. In all 37 separate trades are represented in the band.
 The men play for the recreation 1t
 brings and to satisfy their taste for things musical. Although a number of | them have been professional musicians in
 the past. today they maintain strict
 amateur standing by refusing to accept | extra remuneration for their services as band members. Through long service and | consistent application they have become proficient in a wide repertoire.
 The bandsmen who are making the trip of 5000 miles as guests of their employer, | John N. Willys, will give public compli-
 mentary concerts in Capitol park from 8 I to in the afternoon and from to 10 in l the evening. They will come from New Orleans, where they will give concert | en route from Houston From here they go to Atlanta, where they will form one I of the features of the Fourth of July cele-
 bration. Thence they go to Chattanooga, I Lexington, and Cincinnati. The arrival in Toledo is scheduled for July T. making a | trip extending over three full weeks.

MAY ASK REFERRING 0F BOND ISSUE CASE
Attorneys Think Court Erred in Declaring
 Issue Invalid

A well defined sentiment has developed. it was learned yesterday, among several prominent lawyers of the city to the effect that the state supreme court erred in its recent decision declaring void the pro- posed bond issue for s200,000 auditorium.
 One or two of these attorneys have secured copies of the supreme court s decree and are studying it. If they de- eide they have a reasonable chance to show the supreme court erred. it Is proba ble a movement will be started to request a rehearing of the case and the supreme court will be induced to give it reconsideration.
 If anything comes of such a move- ment it will probably develop within the next day or two.

ACCIDENT MOST
LIKELY VERDICT
Expected Such Finding Will
Be Made in Case of the
Grafton Girl.

The inquest into the death of Miss
Mary Terrill Of Grafton, run down
and killed by Northern Pacific pas
senger train, probably will result in a
verdict of accidental death.
The investigation was resumed at
Grafton this afternoon.
Witnesses so far produced have told
Of Miss Terrill's actions during the
evening previous to her disappearance.
a quarrel between herself and her
sweetheart, Ivan A. Erhardt, being re-
cited by several of those called to the
stand. The number includes Mr.. Err
hardt, a telegraph operator stationed
at Grafton.
AS near as can be ascertained, Miss
Terrill was run down by the south
bound train on Saturday evening, the
train leaving Grafton about S:36. Miss
Terrill was seen about 40 minutes be-
fore that hour, on a Grafton street.
where she accosted and took to task
Mr.. Erhardt, who, in the company of
a gentleman friend and Miss Agnes
Heltney of Grafton. was enroute to the
home of a friend to spend the even-
ing. Miss Terrill objected to his at
tendance at the little social affair
planned for the evening.
From that time. about o'clock, the
girl made her way to a point about
half mile south of the ". p. depot

BRIDGE IS CLOSED
FOR SIXTY DAYS
Will take at Least that Long
Before Traffic Can be
Resumed.
NEW SITE BEING
TALKED BY SOME
Arrangement between Cities
or Counties is Favored
in the Matter.

1t will probably be at least 50 days
before the DcMers avenue bridge
partially destroyed by fire early Mon
day morning. will again be open fol
traffic. and it ie possible that the pres.
ent bridge may be completely aban'
doned, and a new site selected in the
Riverside Park district.
The remains of the old bridge will
be carefully inspected to determine
whether it is worth while repairing
according to City Auditor Villa m
Alexander, before any definite action
liz taken in the matter.
There is a general sentiment among
the city solons in favor of an arrange.
ment between the two cities, or be.
tween Grand Forks county and Polk
county for the building and mainte.
nance of the bridge.
A number of people, however, fee
that a bridge erected at Riverside
Park would be in every way more de-
sirable than one at the present site.
If new bridge is erected it will
probably be built entirely of concrete
and steel. except the approaches, thus
being made entirely tireprcof.
In any case. however. the matter
will be carefully considered from all
angles before any definite action is
decided upon.

} ton. One consists in the equipment
of the station with suitable devices
for the tuning of very long waves.
The other has been in the invention
of a new type heterodyne receiver
which has most marvellous sensibili-
ty. The signals emitted by the new
transoceanic high power stations are
continuous waves with a, frequency of
between 10000 and $4,000 oscillations
per second.
The fact that the signals from Eu-
rope and the United States coasts are
frequently not only audible but dis
tinctly readable is a striking tribute
to the sensibility of the new heter-
Odyn receiver.
These signals are sent out upon a
wave length of between 5000 and 10,-
600 meters and can be heard almost
any day. although they are not al
ways loud enough to be iegibly de-
ciphered. 1t is interesting to note that
very interesting lesson in geography
may be learned from study of the
path OF these waves. The Eilvese
station is not far from Hanover, Ger
many. The nearest direct line over
surface of the earth from Hanover
to Grand Forks passes north of the
British Isles. very close to Iceland,
crosses the tip Of Greenland, grazes
James Bay and Hudson Bay and en-
ters the United States only a short
distance from Grand Forks. The ex-
treme northerly path Of these waves
partially accounts for the ease of re-
ception because the sunlight. which
disastrously effects transmission of
wireless waves, is at low value
throughout most of the path at this
time of year. At least two other
transoceanic stations have also been
heard but. so far, they have not been
identified

Prof. A. H. Taylor Gets Wireless
Reports From German Army Staff
improvements Made at Station

Prof. A. II. Taylor. in charge of the
university radio station. has just made
two improvements in the wireless
equipment which has enabled him to
make some very interesting expert
ments in the sending and receiving of
messages.
Mr.. Taylor has been receiving many
messages from the European battle
line, including the news reports and
code radiograms which are sent out
by the officers at the front
The most recent achievement of Mr.
TaylOr's has been the copying of wal
news sent out by the general staff OF
the German army from the high pow
er station at Eilvese. Germany. This
is a companion station to the station
at Tuckerton, N. ]. The Tuckerton
station is distant only 1900 miles
from Grand Forks. The Germany
station. on the other hand, is 1900
miles from Grand Forks.
During the past few days, Mr.. Tay-
lor has conducted some interesting ex-
periments in long distance reception
of wireless messages. For some
months, the state has been receiving
war reports and various messages
from both the east and west coasts
Of the United States. These reports
have been received even in the day
time. although such long distance rec
ords are very much easier made on
night work. Messages received from
Washington, d. c., for instance, aver
age 100 times stronger late in the ev-
ening than they are at midday.
The success obtained in receiving
the signals from the new Goldschmidt
station at Tuckerton, N. j.. and from
the Poulsen station operated by the
Federal Telegraph company at South
San Francisco, has been due to two
improvements at the university sta
