SoVoist Who Has Been In keokuk at
Christian Church Made Decided
impression With Pro-
gram.
TWO NEW NUMBERS SUNG
These Were in Manuscript Form and
Were Written by c. Ain Rice,
Mr.. Crow Stat

The song recital given last night BY
Ben Claire Grow, baritone, in the audi
torium of the First Christian church
was considered delightful by the large
audience which heard him. Mr.. Crow
has been in Keokuk for over three
weeks successfully conducting the
music at the revival services at the
First Christian church, but having
small opportunity to display the pos
sibilities of his own voice.
Last night the evening was his, and
he rendered his well-balanced program
of heavy and light numbers in highly
satisfactory manner. The same pleas
ing personality which characterized
his work in directing his choir for
the past three weeks was evident in
his solo work last night, and Mr.. Crow
is as modest with his concert work as
he is with a chorus.
Aria from "Semele" "Where'er You
Walk" by Haendel. was perhaps the
heaviest piece Of work Mr.. Grow did
last night and a favorite of his His
vision Fugitive" by Massenet, was
a dramatic selection and greatly ap-
preciated by the audience Airette
Were Sunbeam) and his last two
numbers, "A Summer Shower" by
Mfr. Richardson, and Bon Jour SUI
zon,' by Pessard, received so much ap-
plause that they were graciously re-
peated by Mr.. Crow
In Manuscript Shape.
Mr. Grow sang two songs last even
ing which are still in manuscript form,
never having been published and new
er having been sung by anyone else.
They were written by c. Olin Rice,
inspirations" the author once said,
from his own work" These songs
were, "The Lonely Road" and Wis
ions" both exquisite and beautifully
interpreted.
The fact that Mr. Crows work last
night pleased his audience and that
they appreciated his ability was dem.
onstrated after the concert when prac-
ticaily everyone who was present per.
sonally congratulated him, and ex-
pressed their pleasure at having heard
him. and those who have been attend
ing the services of the past weeks,
for having known him.
Mr.. Crow is in Fort Madison today
and will give concert there tonight
In the First Christian church. He will
return to Keokuk the last of the week,
so the many friends whom he has
made here will have another oppor-
tunity to see him.

England Conference Against Daylight Saving, requesting the commission to. require the railroads of Connecticut to give intrastahe service, that shall be reasonable and satisfactory to the people," Leonard H. Healey, secre- tary of the state board of agriculture, was at the conference held in Spring field Tuesday night, when the matter of securing an injunction against the daylight saving plan was discussed. The letter to the commission reads; Pursuant to the authority vested in us by the New England Conference Against Daylight Saving and in be- half of the agricultural labor, educa- donal and industrial interests of Con- necticut, you are hereby resp peCHullly requested to require the railroads of Conn ectlcayt to give intrastate service that shall be reasonable and satisfac- tory to the people.
 '@The conference voted:
 'We condemn in lInm east1red terms the situation forced on Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut and
 Rhode Island by the Massachusetts law in that it will cause trains to start one hour earlier, thus dishocat-
 ing the school, mail, freight and pas senger service. We deem it to be an alarming situation, full of grave dan ger to the public welfare that sJlch change in New Hampshire train
 schedules will force hundreds of chill
 dren to leave home from 4 o'clock to
 6 o'clock in the morning in order to reach the steam trains that carry them to the high schools.
 <" Farmers can and will ctTta1l pro
 duction rather than be forced to de liver milk and other products at rail- road stations at between and o'clock in the morning, but both the law and the public welfare require that children attend school. It IS nor unusual in northern New England for
 children to travel 20 to 40 miles to at tend high school /"
 '~The people of Connecticut submit | ted evidence to the conference prov l ing that the proposed changes in ratl- road schedules to meet Massachusetts, daylight saving were such as to de- | prive the public of the reasonably ad- equate transportation service to which they are entitled. The thought was ] expressed that if the railroads wished 1 to change the time of their regular
 trains other trains should be oper- ated on the established schedule to provide a reasonable service to which i the public is entitled.

 state Commerce Commission at Wash
