TRANSFORMATION
 IS b|G PROBLEM
Republican A. P. Leased WireI

|
 BERLIN, Jan 31.-Transportation problems in the southeast of Europe will be important matters for discus sion when peace terms are arranged for the Balkans according to economic authorities of the central powers. Two things are necessary, it is declared: A new railway line connecting central Europe with Constantinople, and the development of the Danube for trans | rortation purposes.
 | Hitherto the only line of railway communication between central Europe and Constantinople has been by way ] of Belgrade, Nish and Sofia. This was sufficient for traffic before the war, but it will not be so after peace is restored, and especially after com pletion of the Bagdad railway. One new line that has already been dis cussed would lead through eastern i Serbia, this plan having been Grawn up with the assumption that part of ! Serbia will fall to Bulgaria i'll the general settlement Of problems in the Balkans It has been suggested that this line would cross the Danube at Bazias, where an existing Hungarian line has it's terminus, and that south of the Danube q connection would be made with an existing line extending from Semendria, south along the Bull garian frontier, and thence to Sofia.
 Regarding the Danube. it is de- clared that the development nf the waterway was hindered before the war Fby. Rumanias s refusal to ratify agree ments regarded as necessary for the proper utilization of the river for traffic. Since the Austro- German vic tories in Rumania. the demand had been voiced in the central powers that, whatever be the future status of Ru- mania politically, the peace conditions must guarantee that all, restrictions upon the free navigation of the Dan- ube be abolished.
 It is said also an effort will be made to arrange for further improvement of tho mouths of the river, and also tC

WORKMEN FLEE
 FROM DEPORTATION
r6euublican A. p. Leased Wirel


 HAVRE, via Paris, Jan. 3l.-Infor nation has reached the Belgian gov ernment of an extraordinary incident connected with the deportation of a large number of laborers who had been assembled in the public squares in Berlaer, Santhoven. Viersel, and other towns. Frightened by the German method, the workmen suddenly took to flight into the surrounding forests, where they were pursued without suc- cess by the German soldiers.
 As punishment, the Germans seized the mayors and other leading citizens and transported them to prison at Mechlin. In the way of further pun ishment the Germans billeted troops in the chateaux of the richest persons in the region and prohibited the resi- dents of the towns to leave their houses after o'clock in the afternoon. The latter measure has seriously inter- fered with agriculture and economic life generally

CONCERT
 PROVES POPULAR

Although all the seats of the night performance of the Minneapolis Sym phony orchestra concert Friday night are not sold yet, Eugene Redewill, local manager of the big attraction. has decided to give a matinee on Fri. day afternoon at 2:15 o'clock The afternoon program will be entirely different throughout, including the soloists, so those who would like to hear one of America's finest crches- i tra of So musicians twice may hear two distinct programs identical with the ones played in New York recently with great success
 MT. RedeWill is taking a chance on all the seats being sold for the even- ing performance, and will take care
 of this personally inasmuch as the stipulated terms were that no matinee would be considered unless the even ! ing performance was sold out.
 Most all the schools in the city of Phoenix, besides the Tempe Normal. will observe dismissal for all students to attend the Friday afternoon mat inee. Following are a few statements from leading educators
 Prof. Matthews of Tempe said: :: The students of the Normal School at Tempe have my full permission to attend the Minneapolis Symphony concerts, either afternoon or evening performance"
 Prof. F. Thane Cook, principal high school, Phoenix, commented: q will dismiss the high school at D. m. on | Friday so all students may attend the 1 Minneapolis orchestra concert" | Prof John D. Loper, superintendent 1 Phoenix schools said: q believe the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra concert will be of educational valIe
 to all school children and I will dis 1 miss any student who desires to at- tend in time for the matinee on Fri
 day"
 Prof. H. F. Mathews princiral Ad- ans school praised the plan, saying. l The Symphony Concert will be a fine 1 thing for the students; it is doubtful
 if they will get such an opportunity of 1 hearing this big orchestra again in
 the near future; I will arrange for the
 school hours to accommodate the mat inee on Friday"
 Prof. Judson, principal Osborn
 school says: -,4A
 Any student from my school may l attend; l only wish it were possible that each school board could supply
 seats for the concert for every schoo
 child in the city"
 Some good seat locations may stil
 be had for either afternoon or evening performance on Friday. at Redewil Music Co.'S store

INTERVENTION BY
 COMMERCIAL CLUB
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

DENVER, Jan. 31.-Intervention on behalf of the railroads of representa- tive of the Pueblo Commercial club featured todays session of the western freight rate hearing
 r. A. Gray, general secretary and commissioner of transportation of that organization, told Special ,EXaminer Myron Pattison, representing the inter state commerce commission, that the Pueblo association had voted not to cooperate with the Colorado Fair Rates association in its complain. No explicit reason for the action was set forth in the testimony but the witness said that twenty or more Pueblo ship pers and jobbers voted not to join the hearing and believed that the proposed rate changes would not be to their benefit.
 F. J. Burch, proprietor of tent and awning company of Pueblo. testified that the proposed changes would give Missouri river jobbers an advantage. Albert L. Vogl, counsel for the com plainants, sought to show by cross- examination that proposed changes would benefit Pueblo jobbers and manufacturers.
 L. A. Rafert freight agent of the Colorado Midland railroad; c. c. F.. Rausch, general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific railway and w. M. Hampton. general freight agent of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad also were witnesses today.
 The latter outlined, from the railroad viewpoint. the probable effect of the rates sought upon Colorado and Utah shipping. He declared that the de- cision of the interstate commerce com mission in the Grand Junction Cham Der of Commerce in 1912. caused a loss of territory between Denver and Grand Junction to Denver jobbers and threw it back to the Missouri river jobbers as far as rates could have that effect"

on Broadway this season was the Hula Hula dance which Ann Pennington contributes to the ''Ziegfeld Follies.' This picturesque Hawaiian dance has been incorporated in the Fam ous Players Paramount picture, The Rainbow Princess" in which Miss Pennington is starred. In order to make the scene as realistic as possible. a Hawaiian village was erected as background for the dance and the eel ebrated Hawaiian orchestra which ac- companies Miss Pennington on the stage was engaged to play for her during the filming of the dance for the screen. The mere fact that this IS the most expensive Hawaiian orches' tra in this country did not deter the producers from using the musicians because it was felt that Miss Penning- ton would be more at home with the same accompaniment which she had all season
