Gus Hill comes back for a sixth
season with Mutt and Jeff in an entire
new dress. Their wedding is the
title of the story that is to form a
background for Bud Fishers char
acters. The new production is an in
novation of play craftsman's work,
The story, music, lyrics, scenery and
electrical effects are all new Mr..
Hill has selected cast superior in
every respect to any he has yet been
able to offer. Mutt and Jeff's We'd
ding will surely live up to its title
1t comes to the Boyd, opening with a
matinee today for an engagement of
four nights. Secure seats in advance
is an old cry, but in this case it is very
necessary, as Mutt and Jeff always
plays to overlooking houses. Matinees
also will be given Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The bill that opens the week at the
Orpheum today is to have two head
line acts and two extra featured at
fractions. Musical features will share
in the stellar distinction, the Rita
Mario orchestra and Nine. Gibson

companied by nine members of the
orchestra that the conducted in Bos-
ton, Miss Rita Mario opens the pro-
grams of the orchestra with a violin
solo and then conducts the orchestra
through popular and classical mum
bers, concluding with stirring marches
by Sousa. Orpheum patrons recall
with what popular appreciation Nine
Ohrmar was received in Omaha when
she appeared here last season. She
was prima donna with big symphony
orchestras in New York and Chicago
and made name for herself in great
opera companies in Paris and Lon

In the afternoon children's chorus
of 1900 Lincoln school children, di-
rected by c. H. Miller, proved him
a wise director, who handles the
young voices carefully and without
strain. A program of eleven num-
bers followed, given by various mu-
steal organizations from Doane COL
lege, Crete, Neb.; Wesleyan, Univer-
sity place; Cotner university, Beth
any; the Lincoln Women's club, Holy
Trinity quartet OF Lincoln, and a
woman's quartet from Alliance, Neb.
1t was interesting to hear what these
various EXAMINATIONS were doing in
musical way. A round table dis
cussion was held at O'Clock at the
Commercial club, when the case of
the Alliance Musical club, which
cannot find a place to meet,
the matter of student contests in the
federation, attendance at rehearsals
and other problems were briefly dis
cussed. In the evening a short pro-
gram was given by the University of
Nebraska band, ladies' chorus Of Col
lege View, St. Paul's Oratorio chorus
and orchestra of Lincoln under Carl
Frederick Steckelberg; double male
quartet OF Fairbury, high school
chorus of Bethany and the Wesleyan
Glee club of University Place. This
was followed by some spirited com
munity singing under Mrs. Carrie B
Raymond, director of music in the
University OF Nebraska All of the
sessions of this conference were well
attended.

Personally, do not think thi,
compares with the Chicago idea, fol
often people who donate their serv

their minds at the last minute, ano

We renewed pleasurable acquaint-
ance with Miss Vera Upton, one of
Lincoln's most popular singers, who
invited us out TO lunch and made il
generally pleasant. We found Miss
Kincella good manager careful
accompanist, and learned that her
pupil, Miss Genevieve Rose, who has
studied with her for five years, won
the student contest in piano work
which was won in violin work by Miss
Olga Either. Miss Kinsells said there
were but six federated music clubs in
Nebraska. The idea of hearing vari-
Gus school organizations and orches-
tras is a good one, from which there
may be derived much mutual benefit
This first intercommunity confer
ence is step in the right direction,
and more similar ones will no doubt
follow as the interest in concerted
music continues to spread and de-
velop and different schemes of COM

Federal Trade Commission Would En-

to Application Of ti-Trust Laws.
! Washington, May 3.-Legislation to
encourage American business men to
capture a portion Of the worlds export
business, was recommended to con-
gress today in report of the federal
trade commission. H.. I, y as
The commission says its investiga-
tion into foreign trade conditions has
established the fact that doubt as to
the application Of the antitrust laws
to export trade now prevents concerted
action by American business men in
export trade. even among producers OF
non competing goods. se
) Tn view of this fact" the report
says, land of the conviction that CO.
operation should be encouraged in ex-
port trade among competitors as well
as non-competttors, the commission
recommends the enactment of legis-
lation to remove this doubt. The COM
mission feels it would fail Of its duty
If it did not urge the pressing need of
such action Immediately" 7e..
The commission expresses the belief
that congress did not intend by the
antitrust laws to prevent Americans
from cooperating in export trade for
the purpose of competition effectively
with foreigners where such competi-
ton does not restrain domestic trade
and where no attempt is made to hin
der American competitors from Sc

1T is not reasonable" says the re-
port. Ito suppose that congress meant
to obstruct the development Of our
foreign commerce by forbidding the
use in export trade of methods Of or
ganization which do not operate to the
prejudice Of the American public, are
lawful in the countries where the trade
is to be carried on and are necessary
x Americans are to meet competitors
there on equal terms"
The commission finds that other ma
tions enjoy marked advantages in for
eign trade from superior facilities and
more effective organization and says
that while the United States has been
absorbed in domestic development
other nations have followed definite
policies for expansion Of foreign trade
