his impress upon this truly splendid
body of players to a marked degree.
They were more responsive to his

A Beautiful Concert.

the unanimous verdict. And that was
given without qualification as to the
youth of the organization. II they can
play like this in three concerts, think
what the city has to look forward to.
But to return to Beethoven. The
blithe and musical symphony, in the
masters most loyable spirit. should
be repeated soon to a capacity audi

Mr.. Hammers tempos were brisk
and excellently sustained. The or
chestra played with unity, with q
splendid tone. and admirable execu-

fun of varied color. It was free and
plastic and was moulded to an art in

admirable tone and execution, too, In
all the parts. That rich tone was held
in the tnal allegro and to its beauty
were added grace that was shaded and
varied in telling crescendos and de-

DEMOCRATS Stand
PAT ON HOLD-UP
OF LEGISLATION

the motto at the start was for a short
economical and businesslike session.
Senator Gormley moved that the
rules be suspended and that his reso-
luton be adopted.
Senator Alice opposed the resolution.
He said the majority members were
just as anxious as the minority to emo
the session, but that there were many
bills on the calendar that should be
given proper cons deration. He said ha
for one, was willing 30 serve without
pay after the time expired II by so do
ing, some good bill could be enacted He
opposed the fixing Of a date for ad-
iournment at this time because he said
the calendar Is clogged and II Will take
some time to accomplish the work.
Senator Robertson also opposed the
Gormley resolution. He cited the pro-
posed new school code as one measure
that would probably take considerable
time, and said that II should. as II Is q
very important measure which would
likely be'felt for years TO come.
Senator Palmer admitted that the
Legislature had been wasting It's time
and that a date should be set for final
adjournment but doubted, owing TO the
condition OF the calendar. whether Or
not this was Che time to Ak the date.
Senator Gormley stated that he had
been In the Legislature for some years,
and that II was necessary to FIX a date
to get the people TO realize that ad-
lournment Is near. He said the public
would not do anything until adjourn
ment was staring them in the face. He
said II had been the custom TO do most
Of the business the last two days.
Senator Long agreed with Senator
Gormley, and said he was willing 10
vote on the resolution TO adjourn March
"a.
Senator's Bennett and Walker both
agreed that the Legislature should now
get down TO business, but thought II
too early TO fix a day for final adjourn
ment.
The first vote was taken on Senator
Gormley's motion 10 suspend the rules,
and 10 was defeated, A to 6.
The vote on the resolution TO adjourn
March IS was defeated, 9 to 8. Senators
Long, Pool and Brown voted with the
Democrats 20 tx the adjournment date.
Il was reported that the nine Re
publicans who voted against fixing an
adjournment date may hold out for q
recess OF sufficient time 10 require
Governor Townsend during that recess
TO sign or veto all bills passed by both
branches and sent TO the Governor. II
such a method were followed II would
give the Legislature an opportunity to
try to override the Governors veto
