In this twenty-fourth year of it's activ- ity. the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra comes before the music-loving public with a better organization than ever berore an organization which in artistic strength and musical excellence is second to. none in the country. Under the commanding leadership of Eugene Ysaye the splendid resources of the orchestral forces have been brought out and the tonal ele- inents of the different choirs welded into an harmonic structure quite in accord with the highest ideals for interpreting symphonic music.
 Eugene Ysaye is perhaps best known in this country as the greatest of all violin virtuosi but as conductor he has had wide experience in Europe. For years he conducted a series of symphony con- certs in Brussells, the Concerts Ysaye, which were the notable feature of the musical life in that city each season. 2r. Ysaye also conducted symphony conf certs in Paris, in London, and other great musical centers of the old world, and came to Cincinnati rich in experience in this ,articular field

CORBY ADMITS
ERROR, TFINED
Baker Says Company Vic.
lated Law Uninten-
tionally.

Charles I. Corby. president Of the
Corby Baking Company. appeared
before Justice Gould yesterday
morning in Criminal Court No. 1
and pleaded guilty 20 eight counts
Of sixteen count indictment
charging the company with illegal
ly manufacturing and selling short
weight loaves of bread. He paid
the maximum fine OF s2,s00.
Corby was represented by Attor-
neys Edwin c. Brandenburg and
Jesse C. Adkins. Before Justice
Gould imposed the fine Corby asked
permission to read a statement,
which was granted. The statement
reads:
After having a clear record for
thirty years as law abiding mer-
chants. we are deeply humiliated to
have to appear here today and
plead guilty to the charge of hav-
ing broken one of our laws, espe-
cially in view OF the fact that we
had, unconsciously, erred in follow
ing the custom which has been
practiced in Washington for about
fifteen years. that is. to increase
or decrease the weight of bread to
correspond with the decrease or in
crease in the cost of materials,
labor, etc.
Told weights Bureau.
I'm making our reduction this
year we did something which we
have never done before, that is,
before reducing the weight of our
bread we notified the chairman OF
the fair price committee of the De-
partment of Justice, and at the time
we asked for an increase in price
we also notified the Department OF
Justice again, and on April 26, in
an audience with the sealer OF
weights and measures, we called his
attention to the fact that we had
decreased the size of our loaf OF
bread.
Our error. however. occurred in
having marketed a small number of
ioaves, in comparison with our out
put, that were under the prescribed
weight stated on the wrapper. We
entirely overlooked this condition
and am sure it will never occur
again.
while we all know that our Of
Tense cannot be corrected by the fol-
lowing plan. a week ago we in
creased the weight of this particu-
lar one and a half pound loaf two
ounces and will continue for a pc
riod of two months. This we are
doing so as to assure ourselves thai
We are more than repaying our Gus.

sAvANTs DISCUSS UN1vERsEs

WaShin StOn, April 27-Whether there is one great universe, perhaps ten times as large as is commonly be- lieved, or a million Island" universes similar to that of which the earth is a part, was discussed at last nights ses-. sion of the National Academy of Sci enccS.
 Dr. Herber D. Curtis, of Lick Ob. servatory, California, defended the old idea that the milky way contained practically all the stars, the planetary and diffused nebuIae and the star clusters. Dr. Curtis said such a uni verse was relatively small" being less than SC, 900 light years in diame- ter and not more than 5000 light years in thickness. He reminded his hearers, however, that light travels 1S6,000 miles a second.
 Another discussion concerned twins in the human family. Dr. Charles B. Davenport, of the Carnegie Institu- ton, presented a study showing that about II per cent of human births were plural, and that twins are espe- cially apt to occur in families of which the mother or father, or both, have close blood relatives who were twins.

BONUS QUESTION IS CAUSING ROW
 IN 6. 0,P.R RANKS

Washington, D. C., April 27.---In- surgent Republicans in the House Of Representatives have again issued warning to the Republican leaders that the soldier bonus question is one which cannot be temporized with and that the program of procrastina- ton and playing politics must be abandoned.
 Feeling is running rather high with some of the Republican members. Charges are being made freely by those who have supported Represent ative Royal C. Johnson of South Da~ kota, in his effort to force the pas sage of soldier bonus legislation as well as adoption of a plan to obtain the necessary revenue through taxa tion of war profits.
 That the effort to handle the sol dier bonus question automatically so as to delay the legislation and at the same time play to the +tsoldier vote'' has resulted in a situation tremend- ouSly embarrassing to the Republican leadership is admitted.
 Representative Frank ". Monde1, Republican floor leader, Representa- tive Good, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Repre- sentative Longworth, one of the lead ing Republicans on the Ways and Means committee and a member of the steering committee and other Republican leaders, never have been favorably disposed to the soldier bonus legislation, according to the charges of the insurgents.

OLD VOYAGE IS
 CALLED TO MIND

Sydney, April 2z.--Departure from here. recently of the White Star liner Megantic for Liverpool by way of New Zealand, the Panama Canal, the West Indies and New York. recalls her historic forerunner of 1854.
 This vessel, the Golden Age, was a wooden paddIe-whee1 steamer. be- longing to the New York and Austra- Han Steam Navigation Company. The intention of the company was to run six vessels "Via Panama," the Pan anna Railroad, capitalized at $7,0oO,- 900, being the connecting link&on the then undivided isthmus with the West India Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany running from Southampton.
 The Crinean War, yellow fever on the isthmus and other causes, con spired to defeat the company's plans. The Golden Age was commanded by Lieutenant D. D. Porter, of the United States Navy, who afterwards became famous as a Union admiral during the Civil War.
 The Golden Age left Melbourne for Panama via Sydney and Tahiti, May ,, 1854. She reached Sydney on May II with 300 passengers. Her cargo included a consignment of gold dust and she reached England in 66 days

U. S. SOLDIERS IN FAVOR OF
 U. $. TOBACCO

New York, April 27--Tne hard boiled" doughboys of the American army, real leathernecks with years of service in the hardest of campaigns, favor the domestic tobacco in the Pacific Islands despite the fact that there is always an ample supply of the native product on hand. An in teresting sideIight on how much our Yankee soldier favors the cigarette made ine the U. s. A. has been given by Garry McGarry and Supreme Di- rector William F. Fox of Indianap- oils, who have been directing the activities of the Knights of Columbus in the Pacific Ocean and Orient.
 At the Ford Mckinley hospital which is about eight miles from the city of Manila all the wounded and sick men of the Vladivostock base hospital were cared for besides the patients on the islands. Here the K. of C., in distributing goodies" to the doughboys, marines and sailors convalescing ran against the 'home made cigarette and the Manila brand.
 The patients demanded the U. S. A. brand in practically all cases and looked with distain upon the Manila tobacco. The figures show that Amer ican tobacco was demanded by every five out of six men. To the Filipino scouts and the soldiers who have been for years in the Islands Manila cig- arettes were given, but the more re- cent arrivals among the troops were lustily calling for the American pro- duct and the branded staple package. It did not affect the K of c. ware house because there was more than an abundant stock on hand from the States. The same situation held good in Russia and at the Oriental naval ports.

to offer various bills to aid soldiers. Promises were made to soldiers that the legislation would be enacted. But the Republican leaders had another idea and that was to procrastinate until it became too late to get the legislation through both the House and Senate
 Eventually, the insurgents got wind of this program. They threat majority to do something to fulfill their campaign pledges and have at least forced the leaders sto permit consideration of the legislation.
 Now these insurgents are demand ing that the revenue necessary to pay the bonus shall be taken from war profits. The Republican leaders have agreed upon program to ob- tain the revenue through a tax on sales. But the insurgents have given frank warning that they will fight this plan to a finish and will not sup port the program of the Republican leaders.
 Majority leaders are more alarmed now than ever. Driven into a corner and forced to consider some sugges- ton as to the legislation, they are now trying to avoid charges of in sincerity and duplicity.
 ''They now insist that we are de- feating the bonus legislation by de- manding that the revenue be obtained through taxation of war profits, but we can reply that the very men pro- posing the tax on sales never have been favorable to any bonus legisla- tion," is the rejoinder of Representa- tive Johnson.
 A little courage ten months ago would have ended the problem. But tics" with such a subject has caused the problem to grow until it is scaus- ing much concern to the leaders.
