''ELDAH" A RARE
MUSICAL treat
Two Great Musical Entertainments
Given at First Lutheran Church
by Chorus Assisted by Sol0ists.

A capacity house listened to the rem
dition of the great oratorio, elijah"
at the First Lutheran church Wednes-
day night by the chorus of the First
Lutheran church, assisted by Herbert
Gould, of Chicago, the great basso,
and Ingolf Grindeland, of Warren,
Mimi, a we'll known tenor soloist.
Rev. T. F. Gullixson, pastor of the
First Lutheran church, who directs
the chorus, comes in for great deal
of praise for the success of one of the
very finest musical entertainments this
city has ever enjoyed.
"Elijah" was rendered again this
evening and from the proceeds of the
two entertainments there will be a
good sized sum to turn over to the Red
Cross work in this city.
Mr.. Gould was cast for the part of
"Elijah," which he filled to perfection.
He possesses a deep, rich bass voice
and is regarded as one of the coun-
try's top-notch singers.
Mr.. Grindeland is not a stranger in
the city, having appeared here with
the University of Minnesota Glee club
some years ago. Those who heard him
on both occasions say that he has de-
veloped considerably along musical
lines and his work was thoroly apprec-
lated.
The soprano and contralto parts
were taken by two of Minot's favorite
singers, Miss Nora Fauchald and Miss
Ola Stamsrud. Miss Sebby and Mrs.
E. J. Walsh presided at the piano and
'rgan respectively, their excellent work
adding much to the success of the en-
tertainment.
The soloists were supported by
large number of well known Minot mu-
sicians. The whole entertainment was
unusually we'll balanced and from be-
ginning to end was a rare musical
treat.

MIR. Bugge is not inclined to talk
about himself, but when we mention
| ed the great European war and the
entrance of the United States into the
world conflict, one could see his keen
| interest in the subject, showing that
he had carefully observed every step
which marked the negotiations leading
| up to the final declaration Of war by
his adopted country. In conversing
with Mr.. Bugge one is impressed first
of all by the fact of his conservatism
and desire not to give one false or
misleading impression of the situation
as he views it at the present time. He
says that when he went to Europe in
February, 1916, he met with no trouble
in crossing the sea, but when he de-
sired to return this spring he was
obliged to wait for fully two months
before he could obtain passage. He
observed one steamer in the harbor Of
Christiania which was in readiness to
cross and after six weeks it was final
ly obliged to put back into port and
discharge her passengers and cargo.
The ship in which Mr.. Bugge sailed
was the Bergenfjorde, the first to
cross the Atlantic after the German
submarine blockade was declared in
February. He states that conditions
in Norway were very prosperous COM
mercially, owing to the enormous war
profits of Norway's merchant marine
and the high prices they are obtaining
for their exports. Living expenses
are high, to be sure, but the govern
ment has taken over the control of
prices on all staple food stuffs and
regulate these within the reach of the
poorer classes. Luxuries with which
the government does not concern itself
bring enormously high prices. ASIAN
instance of food prices Mr.. Bugge
cites the fact that Gold Medal flour
is selling in Christiania lower than in
this country. The fuel situation in
Norway at this time is giving more
concern than anything else, and is now
at an acute stage. All the coal con-
sumed in Norway is imported from
England, the freight rate being
kroner in normal times, but since the
submarine menace has driven freight
ers from the sea, has jumped to over
200 kroners per ton, making the re-
tail price of coal in Norway about 230
kroner. In spite of this fact the gov
eminent supplies the people in small
quantities at 88 kroner per ton, but
limits the amount to one bushel per
family. Municipalities regulate the
fuel supply as we'll as that Of most of
the other necessities. Gas, oil and cleo
tricity are relied upon for heating
purposes, where convenient to sources
of supply. Sugar is selling for So
per hundred pounds and coffee prices
are about the same as here in Am
erica. Very little tea is used, except
by the wealthy classes. The crops in
Norway have been good for the past
two years. Every industry is running
at full capacity, their main concern
being to secure a supply of raw ma.
terial. He says there is no truth in
the report that imports are reshipped

PALDA BEGINS IiAbEAS !
CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
To BE Held Before Judge Leighton
June New Warrants for Arrest
of LANCER, uptOns and YOumans.

There has been hull in the proceed
ings before City Magistrate A. b. Dill
this week. 1t is expected that the
hearings of the Upton brothers and
Attorney General LANCER, charged
with interfering with telephone COM
munlcatlon, Will come up the latter
part of the week or the first of next
week.
l.. j. Palda, Jr., charged with pulling
a gun and threatening to xiii, was
bound over to district court by Justice
Dlll under 1000 bonds. PaIda, thru
his attorney, Dudley l.. Nash, inlmedi-
ately began haOeaS corpus proceedings
before Judge Leighton, the hearing be-
ing set Tor June 4. The defendant al
legeS that there was insufficient evil
dence to hold him to district court on
the above charge. He was not COM
PEELED to furnish bail for his APPEAR
ance IN the habeas corpus proceedings.
7 In passing on the evidence submit
ted, Justice Dill struck out the testi-
mony OF the Attorney General, given
Saturday, concerning the district
court.
Atty. General LANCER, one of the
witnesses at the hearing, made some
very radical statements when being
cross examined by Atty. Nash. On re-
direct examination by Atty. Nash, the
Attorney General testified as follows:
o. suppose, Mr. LANCER, if the
postofiice in Minot was being used as
means of communication between
criminals whom you wanted to arrest
you would consider that you could go
in and hold up the postoflice?
Ave often have used the post
Offices in this state in looking up the
names of criminals. Do it right along.
We don't look at the, inside of the let
ter, we just look at the address and
trace them.
Q.-You know that federal laws pro-
vide that the postmasters can give out
no information as to the letters. And
presume, too, Mr.. LANCER, that if
the Great Northern railroad had a
portion of its business illegal, ! sup
pose you would paralyZe that whole
system and think you were justified?
Mr.. Brennan: Objected to.
The Court: Overruled.
A.-Absolutely. l believe a corpor-
alton subject to the state and when it
don't do business right, stop it.
Q.-And you also know that there
are courts and method of procedure
to do this?
Ayes, when it is possible to fol-
low that procedure.
Q.-And when it is not convenient
to do that you don't follow it?
Al think it is the power of the
state to go ahead and do business.
Late Saturday, warrants were is
sued by Judge Murray on complaint of
l.. J. Palda for the arrest of Atty. Gen.
LANCER, F. G. Upton and Grant S.
Youmans, on charge of melting a
riot at the telephone office the night of
the raid This is the second charge
against LANCER and the Upton broth
ers as the result of the raid.
