arbitration, and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision Of Commission or Board Of Arbi-

by the public, and the social and financial rearrange.
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken BY
the public, but in less deliberate nor orderly

The railroads Of the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase in their
expenses. If imposed upon them it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank.

The immediate increase in cost, followed BY other

transportation service.

Intensely human, warm, sympathetic,
with the highest qualities of woman
hood, and animated by the most fer
vent desire to create sane and normal
conditions through the medium of sane
and normal music, DIR. Powell stands
as the exponent of new force in the
development of the race. True, free
musical universities exist in Europe
today. But, as DIR. Powell asserts,
after the war is over and frenzy en-
sues, music will be the one power
which will bring the world back to a
normal state OF mind America has no
free schools for music and its people
should commence at once to aid in the
movement to establish these in our
own country

worked among the people of the East
Side in New York City. She has helped

women. From the flotsam and jetsam
of that sea of humanity in New York,
where the wreckage of wasted lives
drifts drearly on to final extinction,
she has taken child-life in group,
and tried the experiment of musical

purpose she has separated this group

ROBBER TOOK SHOT
AT HERBERT LEMP

That Herbert Lemp, the well known
stockman and business man of Boise,
was a target for the lone highway
man, who on Wednesday night, held
up Union Pacific train No, IS between
Rock Springs and Green River. Wyo.,
was made known last night when a
telegram from Mr.. Lemp was received
here by his brother, Bernard Lemp.
The telegram stated that Mr.. Lemp
was just closing the door to his state
room when the robber entered his car
and seeing him there fired, the bullet
going over his head.
Mr.. Lemp had received telegram at
Green River and had asked the porter
for blank on which to answer. The
porter had just gone to the state
room with It when the robber came in
and Mr.. Lemp was in the doorway. Mr..
and Mrs. Lemp and the porter were
the only ones up in thescar at the time
the robber entered. II was evident
that the bandit believed Mr. Lemp
would take a shot at him If he passed
the door, as he left the train without
going through the car.
Mr. and Mrs. Lemp were called east
by the death of Mrs. Lemp's father.

MAKES ANOTHER
PLEA FOR MUSIC
DR.. Alma Webster Powell
Guest of Columbian Club
at Reception.

DR.. Alma Webster Powell. the dis
tinguished lecturer and prima donna,
who is touring the United States in the
interest OF her self imposed mission of
creating a demand for free schools of
music, was the guest of the Columbian
club at an informal reception yester-
day afternoon. There were many hap
py introductions, little music, and
quite Unexpectedly, talk on the sub
ject of music and its place in the
world as a power for good. With her
whole heart filled with her mission"
as she calls it. the speaker talked on
and on in a charmingly informal man
ner, golden thoughts clothed in simple
language falling from her lips as she
uttered one truth after another and
answered the questions of her auditors.
Her great desire was that everyone
should help her spread the gospel of
free schools for music in America.
Or. Powell was born in Elgin, ILL.,.
and her rich brunette beauty prepares

Spanish ancestry on the maternal side.

and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the

done twice a day. Usually tie dis
