BANDS ENLlVEN
CITY STREETS
Musicians Of Milton and
Pisek Heard During
Morning Hours.

The bands Of Milton and Pisek cap
tured Grand Forks this morning by
delighting citizens with a series of ex-
cellent selections of up to date and
stirring patriotic compositions. and
the effect was SO great that a number
of people were noticed several hours
later marching down Third street in
earnest attempts to.keep up q mill
tary step.
The Pisek Bohemian band, led by
A. r. Thompson, serenaded the Da-
cotah and Frederick hotels and also
gave a concert in front of The Herald
building; the smart looking young
musicians drew quite a crowd wher-
ever they played and much favor
able comment vas heard. The band
is playing at the Fair grounds this
afternoon and tonight.
Three women are playing in the
Milton band which also made a
round of the city this morning and
which yesterday afternoon and today
proved to be one of the drawing cards
of the Fair. Miss W. I. Moves, solo
baritone player, was much applauded
for her good work. and the band gen.
orally was busy acknowledging APP
plause from everybody who heard 1t.
Its presentations of the ever popular
"Over There" seemed in a particular
sense to strike responsive chords in
the city and the hotels today.
w. r. Dodson is director Of the
Milton organization.

SATURDAY RACES
TO FEATURE DIRT
TRACK DRIVERS
Australian Pursuit Handi-
cap Race Expected to
Produce Lots Of Speed.
JUMBO" N 1 A
TO BE SEEN IN MATCH
Northwestern Sweepstakes,
Ten-mile Contest, Will
Close Race Program.

Automobile day which closes the
Grand Forks Fair tomorrow, promis-
es to be the biggest day of the week.
After Thursdays heavy rains, the sky
began to clear this morning, and the
indications were that fine weather
would prevail for the last day of the
Fair. The heavy ain put the track
in excellent condition for the auto
races. 1t saved many hours of hard
work and packed the dirt much more
thoroughly than a force of men could
have done by. pouring water over the
track. But to be sure that there will
be no dust, the track will be thor
oughly soaked again tonight and put
in h best condition possible for the
speed events.
Tomorrow's races will be the best
ever seen here. Two rival teams have
entered, and in them are the five
fastest dirt-track drivers in the coun-
try, Ralph Hankinson, originator of
auto polo, has a team entered, and
Alex Sloane, who brought the racers
also has entered one. and, with the
keenest of rivalry prevailing, there is
mo doubt that some exceptionally
good races will result.
An interesting program of events
has been arranged. One: of the best
events will be the Australian Pursuit
handicap race. in which Clark, Will
lard, Endicott, Ellingboe n Haug-
dahl will compete. This quintet rep
resents the fastest dirt-track drivers
in the country, and in this ven they
will have every opportunity to get
speed out of their cars. In this race,
the men draw for various positions
around the track. 1t is a five-mile'
event, and the winner must overtake
the other entrants. .
The first event will be a three-mile
race, in which Endicott, Willard, Ell
lingboe and H%augdahl are entered.
The exhibition time trials follow. with
Dashback, Allen, Epperson' Clark.
Lampkin and Willard entered. Lamp
kin will make W trials. as he has
entered his Jumbo Benz and his Sun
race is the third event of the day.
The fourth event promises to be
n of the most exciting races seer
here. 1t is a. three mile match con-
test between Lampkin and Clark.
They will compete for a side bet and
a purse. 'Lampkin, who already mas
attained a reputation for fast driv-
ing. will pilot his Sun Ray car, and
Clark will drive his Case.
n NTH race is for cars Of $50
cubic inch and under, and Dashback,
Allen, DAWSON and Epperson are
entered.
Then will follow another match
race between Lampkin and Hender-
son. Lampkin will drive the Jumbo
fBenz and Henderson will pilot the
Fiat submarine. These two cars are
said to be the most powerful and ex-
pensive racing cars in the world.
The race program will close with a
ten-mile contest, the Northwestern
Sweepstakes" Lampkin, Clark, Will
lard, Allen, Dashback and Epperson
are entered.
Following the races, there will be
a two period exhibition of auto polo.

AUTO POLO GAME
MAY BE PLAYED
H EVENING
Three Bands Furnish Music
at Fair at all Hours of
the Day.
TO BE e BEST
Vaudeville Performers Will
Introduce Several New
Features.
The weather forecast reads Is
follows: Generally fair and
warmer tonight and Saturday.

Because of Thursday afternoons
heavy rain, which made it impossible
to get the track in condition. this aft
ernoon's race program at the Grand
Forks Fair had to be called off. The
vaudeville program was given, how
ever. If the sun is sufficiently warm
during the afternoon to dry the track,
an auto polo game. will be played to-
night. and. judging from the COM
ments of the two teams. it will be the
greatest game ever seen here.
Despite the cloudy skies, there is an
excellent crowd on the grounds, and
the visitors are finding amusement
aplenty. The carnival attractions
were open this morning, and a num-
Der of them report especially good
morning business. Liberal Arts build
ing, and the live stock barns were
thronged all morning with spectators.
Three bands are on the grounds this
afternoon. The Pisek Bohemian band,
directed by A. r. Thompson. arrived
in the city this morning, and. after
playing downtown. came to the fair
grounds and assisted the Milton and
Grand Forks bands. The Milton band
gave an excellent concert at the Lib
eral Arts building this morning.
With the calling off Of today's race
AAA oS5oh -
tions for leaving tomorrow night. The
fastest program in the history of the
local association vas scheduled for
this week, but two days events had TO
be cancelled because of weather. To-
morrow's auto races will make up for
what was lost in horse races, however,
for the indications are that one of the
greatest automobile race meets in the
northwest will be h4 here. All that
is needed is fair weaAher to bring out
an immense crowd.
Tonight's program will be the best
of the week. The vaudeville perform
ers have promised to introduce a
number Of new features to make up
for their day of idleness, and the auto
polo game will be more thrilling than
ever. Ray Lampkin, who is entered
in Saturdays speed events, will drive
of the autos tonight. Lampkin
was the star performer on the polo
teams here two and three years ago.

had abdicated Thursday in favor Of
Crown Prince Boris. Tho new king
1t is declared. already has assumed the
reigns OF Office.
1.-THE abdication Of King Ferdinand
was reported yesterday In adviccs
from Vienna There seems little rea-
son to doubt the correctness Of tho
statement. The popularity Of King
Ferdinand has been waning since 1t has
been acknowledged he had erred In

SENATE COMMITTEE ADOPTS IN.
PoRTANT AMENDMENT TO
REVENUE BILL.
LAW WILL AFFECT
MEN WITH STEADY JOBS
Will Not Affect Exemptions Of $1,000
and $4,000 For Unmarried and Mar
/, Treasury Department to Levy Other
Taxes-To Report Bill Next Week.

Washington, Oct 5.-The first i'm
portant amendments to the new war
revenue bill affecting the general pub
lie was adopted by the senate commit
tee on finance.
1t will require every individual with
n gross income of $1,000 year or more
to make a return to the government.
In these times of high wages it will
mean almost every worker in the coun-
try with steady employment will have
to account to the government for his
income.
In the bill as adopted by the house
the provisions require a return from
every individual with q net income Of
81, 900 or more. The finance committee
thought this provision gave too much
latitude and that an individual who
according to his own calculations, did
not enjoy a net income Of $1,000, no
matter what his gross income might be,
would not make any return.
Exemptions Not Affected.
Under the senate amendment the
exemptions of $1,000 for an unmarried
man and $4,000 for a married man are
not affected. It's effect will be to have
a record of gross income of every in
divdual. with exemptions noted. and
then. If in the opinion of the treasury
department any portion Of such income
is liable to taxation, the tax will be
levied.
Another change requires a separate
Of both husband and wife,
where each has a gross income in ex-
cess Of $4,000.
The committee made considera BILE
progress on the bill, approving pro-
visions which virtually were uncon-
tested. Members from the start have
been anxious to make quick work of
the bill and Secretary McAdoo's let
ter urging early action was received
in good grace.
Lodge Answers MeAdoo.
Senator Lodge answered Mr.: McAdoo
in a statement for the committee. he
pointed out the bill had been under con-
sideration by the senate committee only
six days. while it was four months in
the house committee. He spoke of the
great problems involved in the greatest
taxation measure, and declared the
committee could not afford to offer an
measure Of this importance
to the senate, as 1t would only make for
delay.
There is little doubt the committee
will report the bin to the senate next
week.

GAsCLENE RATION PLANNED.
Sunday Saving to Be Distributed Over
Whole Week.

Washington. Oct. 5.-Prospects for
the lifting Of the ban on the use of
gasolene Sundays within the next few
weeks were indicated yesterday by
Fuel Administrator Garfield. A plain
is now being worked out, he said, thru
which 1t was hoped to discontinue the
Sunday ban and to substitute what
would virtually be rntioning plan, so
that easolene conservation WOULD fall
on no one day in the week. In the
meantime, Dr. Garfield said, the public
should accept the situation with pa
tience.
Fuel administrator Garfield refused
ito lift the han on the use Of automo-
biles for the next two Sundays, as
requested by Governor Mccall, Of
Massachusetts, to aid in combating
Spanish influenza. Dr. Garfield's action
was based on advice of Acting Sur
geon General Richards Of the army
that continuance Of the gasoleneless
Sun days would have little, if any. in
fluence on the spread of the disease.
Governor McCalrs request was
transmitted thru ]. J. Storrow. fuel
administrator for New England, and
was subscribed to by all Of the state
fuel administrators in that section.
They asked that the ban be lifted be-
cause, in the opinion Of physicians
there, plenty Of air and sunshine was
essential to combating the epidemic
and the use Of automobiles would con-
tribute to this end.
DR.. Garfield stated that, in round
numbers, there were 100000 barrels
Of. motor gasolene in stock upon Sept.
90, the latest figures available, and
that on April 1, the so-called peak per-
iod, there were approximately 11.c0O.-
900 barrels on hand indicating a
shortage Of approximately 1880, 900
barrels.

LAMsoN's MARKET REPORT.

SIICdSo, cCl. y.
Corn-As frequently stated. the out
come Of the present campaign in
FRANCE is the most important factor.
In the absence of definite news from
the front the market looked strong to-
bay, but when it was confirmed that
the offensive was advancing on all
fronts, holders became nervous and
the market lost it's early gain and more
besides. Cash corn was plentiful de-
spite the handicap of the permit sys-
tenn. The country is showing a will
ingness to sell not only their old corn
but inquiries are received for bids on
the new crop for 1913 shipment.
Oats-The late decline in corn also
broke oats which had ruled higher
early on light receipts and a good de-
mand. 1t seems reasonable to suppose
that if war news is favorable, higher
prices will be curbed at least for the
time being.
Professionalism with the help of
the good war news and increased gov
eminent prices on lard and other pro-
ducts the market did not hold its early

NO COLLEGE VICE DISTRICTS.
Government Plans No Blanket Order
For All Schools.

Washington, Oct 5-No blanket
liquor and vice zones viii be declared
around universities and colleges where
the student army is being trained. In
stead the case Of each school will be
taken up separately to determine
whether the zone regulations apply,
the determining factor to be the extent
to which the schools facilities are
used for military purposes.
The department Of justice, in rul-
ing furnished at the request of the
war department found that it was i'm
POSSIBLE to furnish a blanket ruling
because the percentage Of military
tons.
students varies in different insti-
tutions
In the case Of Chicago schools given
over to army purposes no decision will
be made by the department OF justice
until the war department furnishes the
attorney general with ali information
regarding the extent to which each
school is devoted to army uses.
The activities of the war depart
ments commission on training camp
activities may soon be extended to in
clude Industrial plants where war
workers are employed. 1t was learned
Friday. Chairman Raymond Fosdick
and department Of justice officials Fri
day held conference to determine
whether additional precautions % may
not be taken to safeguard the morals
Of employees in plants engaged In es-
sential war work.
1t was determined that wherever
conditions existed that were declared
20 be a menace to the efficiency of war
wor1zcrs an appeal would be made to
the president to establish vice zones
around the plants and the department
of justice would take stops to cooper
ate with the commission on trainin 6
camp activities to carry out the regu-
lattons promulgated in the presiden-
tial order.
