FINAL CONCERT
ATTRACTS MANY
More Than 5000 Hear Pull
man Band Thursday and
Watch Various Dances.

Fully 5000 people surrounded the
reviewing stand at the court house
yesterday afternoon following the in
dustrial parade, to hear the last con-
cert of the Pullman band under the
direction OF J. F. Hostrawser. A
choice program was rendered by the
band and the vast crowd evidently
appreciated the music for time after
time they applauded vigorously. This
was especially so at the conclusion
of the last selection which was a
collection of national airs.
The concert was opened by the
military march, Blue and the Gray"
which was followed by selections
from "Thanhouser." a semi-popular
selection, by the Suwanee River. A."
was well received by the listeners.
The piece, Somewhere a Voice Is
Calling" also won the approval Of
the crowd. other selections on the
program were: 'LOin de Bal" Sex
tette from Lucia" Songs from Scot
land" and How Can I Leave Thee. 9"
A collection OF national songs closed
the program, and proved decidedly
appropriate.
At the end of the concert six folk
dances were presented by a group Of
school students. The dancers were
all clad in the dress of the country
that they represented, and every
dance was we'll executed. The sword
dance that was so popular Wednes-
day afternoon, was repeated in yes
terday's program and again proved
interesting. Another feature was the
dance in which twelve little colored
children participated. An Irish dance
also received much applause from
the audience. other dances that
were given were a Scotch dance and
two different Dutch dances. The
dances were under the direction Of
Miss Marian Goodman of the high
school.

All the opinions given by the newspapers and officials seem to agree that the revolt was hopeless from the beginning for three reasons The Germans were unable to get force into the island the rebels were without machine guns cannon and the majority of the people opposed to the out break That the Sim Feiners believed they would re- ceive aid from Germany is certain.

BELLINGHAM, May 1.-Captured by a band of Lummi Indians armed with rifles, eight Austrian fishermen with their boat and nets are being held on Lummi island because the land is part of the Lummi reservation and the Indians object to having white fishermen work around there.

The Indians have always claimed that they have the sole right to fish in Hales Pass but the attorney general has permitted whites to fish in the disputed waters and the kidnapping is the result.
