Since the hurncd-cut galleries at the
Fine Arts Building could not be re-
stored IN time. the usual winter exhi-
bltion OF tine Academy OF Design has
been ehandored. On the other hand,
the spring exhibition will be duly held,
opening in March. and it is planned to
make this affair one of exceptional sig
nihcance 1t is TO be hoped tina. this
does not mean that any emphasis will
ne placed upon quantity. What is
needed is not combination of the
winter and spring exhibitions, but a
careful selection from both. The
Academy has now a. peculiar oppor-
tunitr. It may not have the huge new
building which we hear about just
anoe in so often, but it will have a
renovated envi ronment and every rea-
son for making a new start Il would

like Forain, IS represented in the show
by some rare pieces. Manet looms ap-
propriately beside him. but there is a
decisive transition made from the one

spirit crops out in Manet it is interest
ing to observe how, with him. the at

Goya. In him the painter CLEANS

may be noted in passing, is included

world better for the countless deeds

murderous hand Of Germany took them

commemorated in this bronze. Monu-

his works every winter Then, for some
reason or other, none would be forth
coming. Now that for the first time in
years we behold considerable collection
Of paintings from his hand we are
struck not only by familiar merits but
by an unexpected variety. There Is o
large picture here, "Lymeport Farm"
which brings back the Lathrop Of for

observing the canvases that surround it

lighter, totally different note is struck;
the paintings ike 1.-The Plowman" and
"Lymeport Hill" in which moist, gray
sky plays the leading part, and "Ths
Brook" in which Mr.. Lathrop is
somewhat racier and more spontaneous
than in anything Of his which we have
ever seen. His landscapes are full of
truth, full Of sentiment and atmosphere,
and they contain great beauty of tone.
Furthermore, they have design, the quail
ity that springs only from a genuine
instinct for pictorial form. There Ia an
element Of style in this painters work
We have spoken Of his variety Oh this
occasion. Always his Impressions have
had peculiar freshness and individ-
uality.

Lathrop, has variety. And he has quail

best things he exhibits suggest that he
has been Influenced by Mr.. Willard

Mr.. Metcalf's gamut of color and even

There is authentic vitality in these

SCHOOL To OPEN
Embryo AviatOrs to Begin
Training Here Monday.
Kansas Curtiss Co. May Start
Passenger Service to X. C..

1t costs little more than one dol
lar per minute to learn to fly, accord
ing to F. c. Anderson of the Curtiss
Kansas Aircraft company, whose fly
ing school opens Monday.
Students learn the art of flying in
from two TO four weeks. Anderson
says, depending on their natural abil-
lty and weather conditions. While it
is possible to learn to fly in two
weeks, the aviator says it is better to
take longer course. The entire
course costs $3.50.
Flying practice is begun at once.
Plans are being made to install a
ship to make regular passenger trips
to Kansas City. The company aviators
never stunt" passengers or pull off
any tricks to scare them. However. If
passengers care to arrange it before
their flights they will be treated to all
the thrills of stunt and trick flying.
Passenger flights will be made at
the rate of about one dollar per min
ute. Flights of any desired length of
time or distance may be arranged
Long distance flights will be charged
for on a distance basis. The company
has opened an office in the New Eng
land building.

GETS A HUNG JURY
Linn County Banker Wins in
$4,000 Forgery Case.
State Banking Department Had
Written Confession,

Fred Pollman. president of the Linn
County State bank at LaCygne, who
was accused of committing forgeries
to the amount OF about $4,000, got a
hung jury in his trial at Mound City
Friday night. Walter E. Wilson. state
bank commissioner. was informed to-
day. The jury stood 10 for conviction
and two for acquittak when dismissed
Friday night.
Pollman had given the state bank
ing department a written confession
and on the witness stand he admitted
having forged the names of Linn
county citizens. but he put up the plea
that he did not know he was doing
wrong and thought he was acting
within the law. Four of the men
whose names were forged took the
stand and testified that they would
have given Pollman permission to sign
their names if he had requested such
permission.
All of the losses were made good by
a millionaire brother living on the Pa
cific Coast who boosted that no man
ever had lost a dollar thru the fault
of Pollman and never would so long
as he could prevent it.
A. c. Jobes, of the First National
Bank of Kansas City, where part of
the forged paper was disposed of, was

THE BOS'N'S BRIDE

The chorus work in the high school
operetta. 1.-The Bos'n's Bride" given
in the high school auditorium last
night was the most striking feature
of the entertainment It was good
and the costuming was most effective.
In one chorus the boys wore naval
uniforms and in another they wore
the dress uniforms of the boatswain.
The girls wore white with green rib
bons and green baskets in the first
chorus. The setting was also inter-
esting and unusual One scene was
on the dock at Gloucester and the
other on the deck of the ship
The dance put on by Miss Elizabeth
skinner and Richard Matthews was
one of the hits of the evening. Miss
Skinner had the part of the girls
chaperon. Marguerite Officer and
Harold Hotter carried the leading
roles and filled them most success
fully Miss Amy Lee Kerney deserves
special mention for her interpretive
dance.
Another hit was made by the Har-
mony Negro quartet which rendered
several popular numbers between acts.
Members are Floyd Graham, Bishop
Bingham, Louis Sharp and Baxter
Duke.
Miss Grace Wilson, supervisor OF
music in the high school assisted by
Miss Blanche Baker did the coaching
for this operetta. Miss Grace Elmore

Against Lingering Wage Debate

Washington. April 24.-Warning
against further delay in settling the
wage demands of the two million rail-
road workers of the country Timothy
Shea. president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, told the railroad
labor board today that the men were
fed up on promises. and dead, dog
tired OF delays
Mr.. Shea presented the demands of
the firemen and hostlers for a basic
living wage of $3.50 DAY, with diff
ferentials for skill, responsibility, ex-
perience and the increase in the cost
of living since the demands were first
presented last June.
He told the board that the lesson to
be learned from the steel. coal and
railroad strikes was that men will not
work when they cannot live decently
on the wages they are paid When
he had urged the striking railroad men
in the eastern terminals to return to
work Shea said their almost universal
justification for striking was that they
and their families were starving at
work and they might just as well
starve not working"
