 This year marks the twentieth fall opening of the Academy of Music, and in its new home, with beautiful grounds and central location, most suspicious season is predicted. NEW ART ARISES
 With the rise and rapid growth of the motion picture, a new field has opened up for the musician-that of arranging music to suit and enhance the picture film. This has in reality created a distinct branch of the art of music. The synchronizing of the music and the picture is a task for an artist. Olin Downes, music critic of the New York Times, recently delivered an address before body of distinguish ed musicians on "The Musical Accom- paniment For Films From the Stand point of the Serious Professional Mu- sician." Mir. Downes' talk was very in- structive. He was enthusiastic over the future possibilities and development of what he terms a new art.
 The Temple theatre in this city, with its excellent orchestra under the direc- tion of Frederick Stark, is putting Bir- mlngham on par with other large cities in regard to picture show music Mir. Stark is most progressive along musical lines. He arranges interesting prologues for every week, and has en- gagged soloists, quartets, and dancers to add to the entertainment. His or chestra of fine musicians follow their leaders baton with remarkable pre- cision, and for a newly organized body of players, their ensemble work is par ticularly good. 8
 It is MT. Stark's. ambition to make patrons for symphony concerts, and to educate people up to good theater mu- sic. He attended the National Con ference of Motion Picture Musical h. terests in New York, where. they dis cussed the closer relation between con- cert and motion picture. Mir. Stark attends private showing of a picture, and scores the music for it like an operatic score. He times the scenes with stop watch, synchronizing the music. He selects good music from the old and modern classics. and the or chestra has already revealed it's ability to play competently such difficult scores as Wagner's Flying Dutchman'' Overtime, Mendelssohn's Midsummer Nights Dream" TSchaikowsky' And ante Cantabele," the Goldman Concerto. and other difficult numbers. This week. to accompany Spanish picture, he. will use much Spanish music, including the Rhapsodie Espana by Chabrier, selec- tIons from Albeniz and Huerter.
 A very large Moller pipe organ is being installed in the Temple, which will be played by the capale organist. MT George Lee Hamrick.

 A business meeting of the League of Women voters was held on Tuesday at the Hillman hotel parlors, presided over by Mrs. J. M. Hankins, president, Mrs. Fisk acted as secretary.
 Miss Dowd, chairman of special committee appointed in the spring to investigate and report to the Board the City Hall Convention Bureau, and the connection between the music department of the city and the manage ment of the Auditorium, reported as follows ::
 The committee had. several meetpigs, to hear all sides of the question. State ments were made to the committee by Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Johnston, and Com missioner Harrison. Mir. Erickson, manager of the Auditorium and former head of the City Music department was invited to come before the committee at time to suit his convenience, but never did appear, altho he had re- quested the opportunity to appearN
 As result of it's investigations, the committee discovered CD that the City Convention Bureau has very properly been abolished, and a plan is now on foot to work out a joint bureau with representatives from the chamber of commerce and other civic groups; (2) that the City Music department, has been taken over by the Park board, where it properly belongs, and that MT. Erickson is no longer the head of the department; (3) that Mir. Erickson is in charge of the management of the Auditorium, under the City commission, and that, while no definite policy has yet been determined on, Commissioner Harrison states that there is a proba- bility that the city will from time to time bring musical attractions to the auditorium at its own risk,-thus de- finitely entering a field of enterprise already occupied by the Music Study club, and private agencies; that Mir Harrison states that all polices, scale of prices, etc., of the auditorium are still only tentative, and will be changed from time to time, according as they prove practicable.
 In view of the investigations of the committee, the following resolutions were offered by it.:
 Resolved, 1. This committee wishes to go on record as being opposed to the City's going into field already covered by private enterprises and by

Di~miss Old Charges
Against Harry Thaw

New York City Three indictments
charging Harry K. Thaw with second
degree assault, kidnapping and conspir-
acy, were dismissed today by Judge
Mcintyre in the court of general ses-
sions. The indictments we're returned
in 1917 and alleged that Thaw assault
ed and kidnapped Frederick Gump.
Assistant District Attorney Pecora,
who recommended dismissal of the IN
dictments, the last against Thaw said
that Gump, the complaining witness
in all three cases, was in Los Angeles
and was reluctant to come here as a
witness. Gump was 10 years old at
the time of the alleged assault in a
New York hotel. He was alleged to
have been kidnapped in Kansas City
and brought to New York by Thaw
and two private detectives.
Mr.. Pecora read to the court LETT
ter from Gump's mother in California
in which she said:
'Such a long period of time has
elapsed and we are so weary with it
all that we do not feel equal to TAX
ing it up again"
The prosecutor also presented to the
court an affidavit from Gump stating
he was established in business at
Long Beach, Cal, and that because
of his business, as we'll as personal
piness, as we'll as his home life," he
declined to proceed further in the
case. Gump is now married.

Green Bay, Wis.-The trial by jury
of Angelina Petri, charged with adj
ministering poison with the intention
of killing her husband, Reuben Petri,

first witness and his testimony fol-
lowed along the lines of evidence

ing, in which he related how he be-
came i'll more than year ago, and
unable to explain his illness, became
suspicious Of foul play. He said that
on one occasion blue substance was
left in the bottom of glass after he
drained the glass of some milk. On
another occasion, he testified, that
upon examining can of poison used
by him in his work as an orchardist,
he found that it had been tempered
with. Petri will resume the stand
this afternoon.
Attorney for Mrs. Petri is of the
opinion that the state has no case
against his client and he expressed
the belief that it will be thrown out
of court on grounds of insufficient
evidence. The defense claims that
Petri's illness was caused from poison
used in connection with his work
while spraying trees.
The charges against Mrs. Petri fol-
lowed a report by the state toxicolo-
gist after an examination of the hair,

COUNTY TEACHERS
IN ANNUAL MEET
Prominent Speakers at
Convention of KenOsha
County Educators.
ASK LIBRARY FUND

Seeking cooperation from Kenosha
county school teachers and county
board of education, c. B. Lester, chair
man of the Wisconsin Free Library
commission appeared before the an
nual meeting of the county educators
held today in the council chambers OF
the city hall. Mr.. Lester who spoke
recently before group of Librarians
and Kenoshans interested in library
work, in connection with the Better
Cities Contest, presented today the
matter of county appropriation for a
library extension system.
The county is already served in a
small way by the Gilbert M. Simmons
library, but in order to provide ade-
quate library facilities. it is necessary
that an appropriation be made for the
work by the county board. This mat
ter is the only one in which the Ke-
nosha library failed to score in the
Better Cities Contest, when the record
was made last week. There remain
several months, however, for this rec
ord to be amended.
Have Interesting Program.
The teachers and members of the
county board of education are hold
ing an interesting meeting today, to
discuss problems and interests of the
county schools. In the absence of
John F. Kerwood, county superintend-
ent, who is i'll, Miss Alberta Worsley,
county supervising teacher, is in
charge of the meeting.
Beside the regular business of the
convention, reading of reports and
plans for the future, several noted
speakers will appear. DR.. F. F. Bow
man, head of the State Board of
Health will speak on the Importance
of excellent health conditions in coun-
ty schools; C. P. Carey, ex-state SUI
perintendent of schools will speak on

ton, will discuss business manage
ment of schools and other important
