By The Associated Press.
 Tokio. May 1.--under the eyes of 3,ooo police reserves and with other officers stationed at strategic points, more than 10000 workers parading through Tokio today in one of rhe most picturesque and orderly May day labor demonstrations witnessed here.
 An unexpected thrill occurred when a naval balloon. sailing over the city, was forced down at the busiest inter- section amid crowds awaiting the sing ing marchers. The airship, which broke down electric tram wires and held up traffic for a time. was slightly damaged. but no one was injured.
 Police walked at the head, sides and rear of the procession and mingled in squads with the marchers to keep the in hand. The most popular air of the marching thousands was a labor hymn sung 10 the tune of Maryland, My Maryland"
 Songs of a red tingc had been for bidden by authorities.
 The demonstration opened with an open air mass meeting which was at- tonded by about 15.ooo, including

many women. A resolution con- demning American immigration iegis- lation was referred to committee.
 One speaker was arrested when he attempted to discuss the alleged slay- ing of workers and radicals by police during excitement after the earth quake disaster. By way of precaution. police at daybreak had arrested ten radical leaders and enjoined known to remain at home.
 The May day celebration was on a nationwide scale, demonstrations also being held at Osaka and other indus trial centers. These were enthusiastic but apparently orderly.

 Her Story

White Plains, N. r.. May I.--Dis. trict Attorney Rowland today reaf- firmed his belief that Miss Mildred Beam, former Elizabeth, N.

 correcting the score of the opera may not have resulted in a work which when produced will be found to be- long to past generation.
 Reports are current that immense sums are being paid for seats for the first night. as the theater has long been sold out. One American visitor is said to have paid :5,0o0 lire for box. while single seats have been re- sold for 1000 to 5000 lire.
 The musical critics are restiye un- der the strict secrecy they are forced to observe regarding the character of the work until it's public presentation. This uncertainty, however. has only served to increase the interest among the music lovers of many nations who are awaiting the events.

PRODUCTION OF NERO
 IS TO BE GALA EVENT
Opera House at Milan Has Long Been
 Sold Out for Opening Per- fOrnanee

Milan, May 1.--Interest in the musi- cal and artistic world in general is at fever heat over the coming first pro- duction anywhere of the posthumous work of Arrigo Boito. "Nerone," or Nero" at the opera here. Not in years has there been such eager an- Ecipation of any musical event, the situation being reminiscent of the his- toric occasions in the days of the great Verdi when he was about to produce a new work.
 An important difference is that in this case the composer is dead, hav- ing passed away in 1918 without the composer of "Mefistofele" ever hav- ing consented to the performance of this later work on which he spent SO many years of labor. In musical cr- cles there is some speculation as to whether the lengthy period which

MEAHS TO AVERT WARS
 ARE SOUGHT AT MEETING
School of International Relations Starts Work at Johns
 Hopkins.

Baltimore, May 1.-Research into
 the causes of war, looking toward the l discovery of possible means of avert l ing war, will be one of the chief fea-
 lures of work at the school of inter-
 national relations Of Johns Hopkins
 university.
 The plan to create the school was proposed Tuesday in New York at a meeting of educators, publicists and business men, who declared 1t would be dedicated to the memory of Walter Hines Page, wartime ambassador to Great Britain.
 Private contributions will furnish an endowment for the new undertak- ing, 1t is said.
 An outline of the course of study to be followed when the school is es- tablished, given by Dr. W. W. Will ioughby, professor of political science at Johns Hopkins, was published to- day.
 Two questions have faced us in planning course" said Dr. asNil- loughby. The first was the scope of the study. and the second was the
 ph tiiS duQ EtuQe0L body. As 10 the latter, it is likely that the student body will be limited to a small and carefully selected 1 group of advanced students and that the faculty will consist of few en- nent scholars in the required fields 1 Sxsxa
 "As to the scope of the study, the primary purpose of the school would oe to furnish an opportunity for re- earch and investigation of the whole background of international life-the hidden factors behind the rules of in- law and the workings of liplomacy-the causes. whether psy- biological, economic or geographical, or this or that international situa- tion.
 The main purpose of the school fould be research, with the idea of publishing the results of investiga- ons from time to time, as is done in he graduate schools"

 Heretofore, permanent improve nents. such as the Forestville pump- ang stations, have been paid for out ef revenue for the most part. The finance board has ordered a policy of bond issues spreading the payments over period of years and preserving ! the ordinary income for regular de- 1 partmental expenses.
 Two bond issues for the water de- | partment were voted. The sum of i S1o0,o00 was appropriated for the 1 laying of a new distribution system from Shuttle Meadow reservoir, and s150.o00 to replenish the depart ment's treasury for the money ex- pended on a pumping station.
