Famous Hallelujah Chorus

A height of musical perfection never
before reached by local choral organ
izations was attained by the high
school chorus of three hundred voices
in the production of Handeis THE
Messiah" last night at the Coliseum.
Four professional soloists Of unusual
merit, and forty players from the high
school orchestra appeared in conjunc-
tion with the chorus in this climax
of the school music festival of 1915.
Never before has work of such
magnitude been offered to Richmond
audience, and Prof. Ralph c. Sloane,
by his splendidly sympathetic and
thorously artistic conducting, present
ed the great oratorio in a masterful
way to the large and attentive audi
ence of more than three thousand per-
sons listened until almost II O'Clock,
and applauded the performers enthus-
iastically.

Assault on BOllati in Ber-

ROME, May 22.-The war bill is a
law. Italy is one step nearer hos
tilities. King Victor Emmanuel today
signed the measure comforting upon
the cabinet full power to act. Parlia-
ment has adjourned and the cabinet
is supreme. The bill is as follows:
THE government is authorized in
case Of war and during hostilities to
make decisions with full authority of
law in every respect required for the
defense of the state, the guarantee OF
public order and economic national ne
cessities. The provisions contained in
Articles 243 to PSI Of the military
code continue in force. The govern
ment is authorized also to have re-
course until December 81, 1915, to
monthly provisional appropriations for
balancing the budget. This law shall
come into force the day it is passed"
Crowds Celebrate.
Announcement that the king had
signed the war bill was greeted with
cheers by an enormous crowd gathered
in the public square. A great pro-
cession Immediately formed and then,
headed by bands, the crowd marched
to the department offices cheering for
the king, the ministry and for the al
lies.
Martial law has been declared
throughout all northern Italy. Rail-
way traffic and practically all tele-
graphic communication on the Austro-
Italian border is reported stopped.
Traffic has been suspended on the
Adriatic.
Ambassadors Present.
1t was announced today at the Ger
man and Austrian embassies that
Prince Won Buelow and Baron Mac
chic. respectively, German and Aus
trian ambassadors. were still in Rome.
If this was the case. however. they
were remaining in strict seclusion to
avoid the crowds that continue to
make war demonstrations in the
streets from time to time.

will be only a just and fair opportun-
ity to afford their children.
The taxpayers of the district are al
most unanimous in desiring the school
opened, although only part OF the
north end of the city was covered by
Mr.. Salzarulo in obtaining names to
thA petition.
He has discussed the matter with
two or three members Of the board
and these were practically in favor Of
opening the school. The principal of
Whitewater school, Mr.. Ramsey, de-
clared his belief that other children
in the city whose foreign-born parents
felt that they lacked education in
view of their years, could also attend
the school.
Attitude Of Board.
Mr.. Giles, Mr.. Jordan and DR.. John
ston all stated their attitude in favor
of the proposal if it did not entail
the opening of any other school in the
city The combined facts that the
north end district is so entirely diff
ferent from any other section of the
ciyt and that the foreign-born child is
an element SO distinctly in the ma
jority and that these children are
really in need of education, will con-
vince the school board 1t is believed
of the advisability of opening the
school
Four teachers will be needed and
these will serve for two dollars day
each, it is figured. The aggregate
amount of money which would have
to be appropriated by the board under
this arrangement for an additional ten
weeks school course would be eighty
dollars. The petitioners do not be-
lieve the members of the board will
begrudge them this amount in view of
the unusual circumstances,

Mount Lassen, California's live vol

opinion expressed by observers today.
Stirred by some mighty convulsion the
volcano has been sending a river, OF
lava and mud down the. mountain side
since Wednesday night. Several houses
have been destroyed and much live
stock has been killed. Fred Seaborn,
a government forest ranger. was the
Paul Revere of the latest eruption. He
galloped from the town OF Hat Creek
down through the valley. warning
ranchers and their families in time for
them to flee to higher ground and es-

CITES AUTHORITIES
Holds City Liable for Neces-
sary Costs If it AbandOns
Proceedings to Acquire
Light Plant.
The full text of City Attorney
Bonds opinion will be found on
page 2, this issue.

In statement issued by City
Attorney Bond today on the con-
troversy which has arisen over
the proposal of the city admins
tration to purchase the electric
plant of the Richmond Light,
Heat & Power company, he says
"the real question which seems
to be agitating the public mind
at this time may be stated:
rs the City irrevocably bound
by the steps which it has already
taken to acquire the property of
the Power Company? Or stated
in another way-"Has the City
already PURCHASED, and that
nothing remains to be done ex-
cept to fix the price which the
City MUST pay?" Or in other
words, HAS the City now, or in
the future stage of this proceed
ing will it have the right to
abandon the same?"
After declaring that the CITY in filing
its condemnation proceedings has
merely exercised its right of eminent
domain, Mr. Bond asserts:
THAT the city has the absolute and
unqualified right to abandon the pro-
eeedng which it instituted herein
haven't the slightest doubt, and this
opinion is supported by an unbroken
line Of numerous authorities, both in
text books and by supreme courts"
Cites Legal Authorities.
In giving his opinion that the city
has the authority to withdraw its con-
demna ton proceedings if il so desires
the city attorney cites several court
decisions in support of his contention.
He also makes the following declara-
tion:
"A city can only contract in the
manner provided by statute. and it
would be an exceedingly bold asser-
tion to say that city can make. even
II 1t should so endeavor. a valid and
binding contract without the price,
terms and conditions being known and
without any appropriation having been
made therefor. and in the absence of
available funds to meet such contract.
These propositions, it seems to me are
so we'll settled as not to need the ci-
tation of any authorities
Three Opinions.
Then the city attorney gives the
three following opinions:
First-That the city has not yet
purchased this plant.
Seeond-That the city has the riaht
now to abandon this proceeding with
out the consent Of the utility.
Third-That the city has the riaht
within the time allowed by the com.
mission. after the value Of the plant is
fixed and the terms and conditions
named. to abandon this proceeding,
but in such event 1t would be liable
for the necessary costs.
The matters relating to the aeauisi-
tion # this plant have not been acted
upon hastily, as some seem to believe:
every detail has been fully considered,
and every proposition relating thereto
minutely anaIyzed. and I feel certain
that the results obtained are sufficient
to convince any fair and competent
mind Of the wisdom Of the course that
the city has taken.
Mr.. Bond concludes his statement
by declaring himself to be unalterably
in favor of the city purchasing the
electric plant of the Light, Heat E.
Power company.
