COUNCIL HITS
SHOEMAKER

City Controller Shoemaker wai
asked by the city council Monday
to appear in the council chams
bers Tuesday morning and explain
why his accounts of the city's
finances are different from thoss
of the state auditor.
A complete report of the city'a
finances for 1916 was presented
to the council by the state Mon.
day. The report shows many dis
crepancies from Shoemaker's ans
nual statement.
Commissioner Gronen wanted
the states report published as the
city official financial statement
declaring that Shoemaker's fig.
ures were misleading.
Instead of adopting Gronenl
idea, the council asked Shoemalx
err to appear and explain the DIFF
ferences in the reports. 1t Ia
probable that Shoemaker will be
asked to change his figures Ia
conform to those of the state.

BRITAM'S
EXPENSES HUGE,

Daily Expenses To-
tai Six Million and Half
Pounds.

London. Oct. 3o.-1n the house, Of
today Chancellor Bonar Law
said that, IT. the period from July %
September %, the daily average
expenditure of the British government
was E6,414, 900.
The chancellor said the expenditures
Of the army and navy exceeded the
budget by 100000 daily.
The average daily expenditure since
the beginning of the financial year has
been f6,648,000 or f~1,297,000 above
the budget estimate.
The chancellor said that as far as
.he could judge the position in tho Sec
ond half Of the year would not be
quite as favorable as in the first half.
partly on account Of the increased
pay for the navy and army.
The chancellor said America had
given great financial assistance at
times when her expenditure was great
er than that of the allies.
The increase in the vote Of credit for
the war office, he explained, was due
in part to the larger force maintained
abroad. to the forward movement of
the troops in France, and to other
causes, including motor transport.
II the war ended as the allies meant
1t should, Mr.. Bonar Law added, the
financial burden would be one which
could be borne.

QUARTET GIVES
fine CONCERT
Zoellner Family Entertains
Local Audience With
Excellent Music.

That there is still rare beauty in the
souls Of artists and that music has
not lost, but gained new charms, even
in this sad time when all the world
seems mad. was proved last night
when the Zoellner Quartet played.
That this fact matters not to Grand
Forks and that its appreciation OF
lovely music is as lacking as 1t was be-
fore was evident, too. But for those
who did attend the wonderful concert
there was great reward for the Zoell-
ners, than whom no musicians stand
higher, gave intense delight to their
hearers with every number.
Beginning with the Haydn Op. "a
No. 1, a world Of enhancing melodies
was opened to the hearers. The Won
derfully skilled technique and finish
ed workmanship of the four artists
who play as one gave new pleasure
with Zach succeeding movement. The
audience sat In that b%reathless hush of
listening that is more than q hearing
with the ear, but indicates that atten-
ton of the entire being which is the
perfect bond between artist and au-
dience. laundering applause met ev-
cry completed number, and the Zoell-
ners, with their gentle gractousness
which 44s the things about them
AA SAASA4 -
with added numbers.
Two sketches for the string quartet
by the young modern composer, Eu-
gene G~oossens, We're among the fasci-
mating new offerings of the evening.
"By the Tarn" is q remarkable tone
picture which is as intangible as ma
ture and as alluring. The Jack O.
Lantern" by the same composer, is a
vivacious bit of fooling that is as datn-
ty as the will o the Wisp." Both
numbers were greatly enjoyed. A
strong contest was noticed in the en-
core which went back centuries to
find that old favorite, "Minuet," by
Vallensin. n
The suite for two violins and piano
showed another phase of the artists
skill. Here the first and second vio-
Inns in the hands Of Miss Antoinette
seemed to have new personality. Their
oneness with the quartet no longer
needed, their individuality was a Joy
to feel. Emanuel Moor's Op. la was
an excellent venue for the brilliant
display of talent here, which was amp
ly complimented by Joseph Zoellner
at the piano.
Three delightful numbers closed the
program, Larghetta, Op. 20, by Nap
rawnik; Canzonetta, OPP. H., Mendels-
sohn, and Hympus, by Arthur Hart
man. So insistent was the applause
after the last number that the Zoell-
ners were compelled to respond, and
they played as their farewell that most
beautiful Of musical fancies, The
Rain Song" by sinigaglia. This last
