SENATOR'S 10 OPPOSE Hurley

SENA ORS ~ OFFOOE FlOhLEI
Washington, Feb. Further in
formation regarding the disqualified
ton of Edward N. Hurley of Illinois
to act as a member of the federal
trade commission has been laid be-
fore the senators who are preparing
to oppose this nomination. According
to Moody's Manual and POore's
Manual, the financial authorities of
the United States, Mr.. Hurley was
director in the Chicago Great West
ern railway and he was appointed
when the stock of this company was
in the hands of a voting trust, con-
sisting of two men, of whom George
F. Baker of the Morgan firm was one.
This connection is not regarded as
especially fitting him to serve on
commission to regulate big business.
Hurley is and has been for ten
wears president of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association. This asso6i-
alton has had it's lobby representa-
tives on the ground in Washington
for many years. It was one of the
strongest supporters of the lumber
schedule in the Payne-AIdrich bill,
and there is every indication that it
helped Mr.. Hines put LOrimer over"
Mr.. Hurley was present in Washing
ton in company with Mr.. Hines on
both these occasions.

Yost,s men have been doing very

Yost Is quick to detect any flaws III

lateznow to correct whatever ails the

Word has at last come from Prince.
ton concerning the game to be played
with Harvard on Saturday. The news
does not speak we'll for the Tigers
but there may be a reason for the
story. -Four members Of the coaching
STATIONED the scrubs and held scrim-
mage against the first eleven. The
report OF the tussle states that the
second string men, with the coaches
assistance, crmubled the first team
both on offense and defense. From
this the wise ones at Princeton figure
that Harvard has the best Of 1t in Sat.
urday's battle.
Contrary to expectations the Wash.
ington and Jefferson team OF football
players did not 60 to the country this
year as It has done in previous years.
The reason for not going is the Sc.
crettofs Coach Bob Folwell, the former
halfback Of the Penn team. But 1t
Is generally thought that the trip
would be harmful In some respects
to the members Of the team inasmuch
as the change in diet and atmosphere
IS not worth the chance.
The Fairmont High School and the
Morgantown High School teams will
be in our midst next Saturday. As a
preliminary to this game the freshies
and the sophomores of the Fairmont
High School Will play a game worth
going earlier than usual to see. The
last mentioned teams have played one
game. but on account of the crowd on
the field their work could not show
up to advantage. This game will be
} played on the regular field at South
side Park and Is simply an added
attraction to the splendid game which
is to follow 1t. The second game,

IL AND H.

That the Wednesday Club. in its ef-
forts TO give Richmond the greatest

fallen below the mark of other years

Metropolitan artists for the Panama
Pacific Exposition, the club found 1t
necessary to move forward the date

Another notable feature of the 1915
| festival will be the appearance of the
| Philadelphia symphony Orchestra in
the place Oh the orchestra Of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. which
has played at the concerts In recent
years. The Philadelphia orchestra,
composed of seventy Ave accomplished
musicians under the baton OF Leopold
Stokoski, is reputed TO be among the
first three in America.
The following vocal artists. all OF
nationwide fame. have been signed by
the club for the festival:
Emmy Destinn. leading soprano. OF
the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Giovanni Martineiii. the famous
Italian tenor, who made his debut with
the Philadelphia Opera Company,
Herbert witherspoon, leading basso
OF the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Emilio DE Gogorza, a Spanish Amer
lean baritone of great reputation
Dan Beddoe, the old favorite con-
cert tenor, who has done so well in
oraiorfo work.
Florence HinckIe. a soprano who
comes TO Richmond well recommended.
Mildred Potter. concert contralto,
whose voice is said to be of rare
quality.
In addition to these high priced
song birds, the club has engaged Miss
Florence Larrabee. pianist. to play at
the Tuesday matinee concert.
Under the leadership OF Professor
w. Henry Baker the big chorus of the
Wednesday Club has been hard at
work for months and is entering upon
the final weeks OF training vita
promise of great success In the fes-
tival.
