Symphony Orchestra
Starts Out With Triumph

A large audience Of our most ex.
pensive people attended the llrst pub
lie concert Of the new Detroit Sym.

house. Thursday afternoon. and got
itself al worked up over the perform.
ance Of Weston Gales and his men.
There was plenty Of reason for this
enthusiasm, for the band n composed
of the pick Of Detroit's musicians and
II plays remarkably well for 70 young

After the symphony, N. J. Corey
introduced '0ne OF our most promt-
nent citizens" who proved to be Dean
s. 8. Marquis. Dean Marquis told the
audience that until this year. Detroit's
musical aim had been ct the wrong
mark-that there had been talk Of Q
great music hall. the completion Of
which would open the way for . sym.
phony orchestra. But now q man has
been, found with the requisite energy
to build an orchestra without waiting
for building: and doubtless the hall
will follow. Il was . fair prediction,
for Dean Marquis knows the plans
OF the Art Museum trustees: but the
music hall doesn't depend on our
smart sets support OF . symphony
orchestra, thank heaven. It II much
more likely to como through the tax
payers of Detroit than the haut monde
of Crosse Pointe.
But for the moment, our patricians
showed . high degree Of enthusiasm.
and nearly all Of them were ready 70
suggest Tat Hpnry uprd ought 10 -
dow the new orchestra. It>would take
only 4 million, and Il would be %
lovely of Dearborn to take the burden
from 0rO1oe Pointe.
Mr.. Cales, however. refuses to be
pesstmistic. He believes that he can
accomplish what no one else has ever
done In the way Of securing 0nancial
backing for his orchestra. Lst him
strike while the iron isn't looking.
Az Dean Marquis pointed out, It
has been demonstrated that there are
scores Of excellent musicians In De-
trOit who have BEEN waiting and hop
ing for IN opportunity to do some
thing. They are now entitled to aid.
Mr.. Gales has presented himself ~
the Moses to lead, them out Of the

fore him, the Pharaoh driving him

ex-sheriI.

Winchester. KY. April 4-The jury in
the case of Thomas Davidson, charged
with completely in the murder Of Edward
Callahan, former sheriff of Breathiti
County, reported to Judge Benton to-
day that II could not agree. and was
discharged. Judge Benton Immediately
set the case for trial again on June .
Davidson is the only one of the four
men tried for completely in the murder
Of Callahan who has failed to be con-
victed. Fourteen others charged with
the same offense also will be tried al
the summer term OF court.
The prosecution announced today that
a big log tied in the Kentucky River pos
sibly saved Davidson from conviction. in
asmuch as II prevented several important
witnesses for the commonwealth from
being present.
Probably the most sensational evidence
in the trial was that of Doc Smith.
who confessed In his testimony that he
was one of the three men who fired at
Callahan. Two shots, either of which
would have proved fatal. found their
mark.
