A Rare Musical
Treat for Oakley.

The appearance of two of the
Vests leading musical artists on
Thursday, April 25th in the Opera
House, Oakley, bids fair to mark an
epoch in our musical and artistic his
tory. The names of Prof. j. Nc
Clellan, the noted organist of the
Mormon Tabernacle of Salt Lake
City, and leading pianist of the
country, and Prof. Willard e. Weihe,
premier violinist Of the West. termed
by several critics as "the Ysaye of
the Westland," " assures patrons Of a
high grade and delightful musical
evening. In their joint work as SOLO
lists at several Worlds Fairs, notably
Chicago, St. Louis, Portland, Seattle,
jamestown, (Va) San Francisco and
San Diego, Profs. Mcclellan and
Weihe, the former IN the role Of both
pianist and organist. won plaudits
and press notices that were most en-
thusiastic and complimentary. AS
concert performers these artists has
appeared for number of years
throughout the country, east and
south and west, with unvarying sue
cess and were they able to get away
from their important posts of duty
they could fill their time completely
in concert appearances.
AS organist of the Mormon Taber-
nacle, Mcclellan has played before.
and with, some of the World great
est artists. Melba on her last ap-
pearance at the Tabernacle insisted
upon McClellan's playing a number
with her, and the gifted prima dona
was not slow in sharing with him
the great applause Upon her last
appearance in the same auditorium,
Madame Schumann Heink engaged
Prof. Weihe and Frof. Mcclellan to
assist her in several numbers. in
which the magnificent organ of the
Tabernacle was used with splendid
results, and the noted singer shared
honors with the Utah men.
As violin virtuoso, Weihs ranks
high. His tone is once heard, never
forgotten, and his technical equip
ment and scholarly yattainmentsma &c
his playing a joy. The program to
be given by these fnmous artists. as
sisted by local talent will prove one
of the greatest musical offerings of
the year.

SENATOR STONE is DEAD.
Missouri Democratic Leader Passes
Away After Brief illness.

ashington.-Senator William j.
Stone of Missouri. chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee and
for many years prominent among
Democratic leaders, died here April IA.
after stroke of paralysis suffered
four days previous.
Senator William ]. Stone, who was
born in Kentucky, May 7, 1S4s, was In
public life forty-five years and during
that long period probably engaged in
as many political contests as any man
of his time, ranging all the way from
controversies over county offices to
the broadest national issues.
At the entry of the United States
into the war, Senator Stone performed
the trying feat of antagonizing his own
party administration and then realign-
ing himself with 1t in a generally sat
isfactory manner. 1t was in connection
with the bill proposing the arming of
American merchant ships that he took
sharp issue with President Wilson. He
stood with the dozen senator's whose
opposition caused the failure OF that
measure at the close of the sixty
fourth congress and brought down the
denunciation of the president upon
"the wilful twelve" While Senator
Stone made no apologies for his course
on that occasion, he always contended
1t was in strict line with his duty as
senator, because in accord with his
convictions.

SPAIN THREATENED

Supplies Purchased in Spain by Gen.

tonary Forces In France Being
Held UP by Teutons-

Washington.-Suppli purchased In
Spain by General Pershing for Ameri-
can expeditionary forces in France
have not been released. The financial
credit for France promised by Spain
in return for the privilege of import
ing American cotton has not been
granted.
The United States has not been per-
mitted to benefit by the agreement be-
tween Washington and Madrid signed
by representatives Of the two govern
ments on March Z. Threats to sink
Spanish ships and German political
propaganda in Madrid are held to be
responsible.
Semi-official reports received here
Monday revealed that Spanish ships,
such as at one time represented the
proudest merchant fleet on the high
seas, are now hiding in the sheltered
harbOrs of Vigo, Cadiz and Barcelona.
Their owners will not permit them to
sail through fear that the threat OF the
German submarine commanders will
be executed. 1t Is doubted in official
circles that the Madrid government
will prove sufficiently strong to make
a serious defense for its rights US u
neutral.
With full expectation that the trade
agreement concluded here month ago
would be promptly ratified in Madrid,
the war board Immediately provided
the Spanish ships detained in port with
bunker coal.
U. S. Had Aided Spain.
Exports which Spain wanted and
badly needed were also released under
the license system, and even more gen.
erously than the terms Of the agree
ment required. During March 10 per
cent more cotton was allowed to GO
out than had been contemplated under
the reciprocal arrangements. Large
shipments of railway equipment
and great quantities of machine oils
were also released.
There was both surprise and indig-
nation at the state department and the
war trade board when the French gov
ernment reported that the section OF
the agreement under which France
was to be given financial credit in
Spain had not become effective. The
French had not asked for loan, but
Spanish money was to be made avail
able for the purchase of army supplies
in Spain upon securities furnished by
the French government
The United States had agreed to let
Spain obtain our supplies only upon
agreement that the credit be made
available.
