A two days basket ball tourna-
ment has been arranged at Sand

third, Sandstone and Rush City;
fourth, Moose Lake and Askov.
These four games will be played
tonight. Tomorrow afternoon

again in the evening the losers of
the first games will have a
chance to meet the losers of the
afternoon and the two main

turned to civilization after an alb
sence of more than three years,

Preparations. 49,
Representatives of Swedish or
CARNATIONS in Minneapolis are
busy preparing for a magnificent
summer celebration-the biggest
Swedish event ever staged in the
northwest-in the latter part of
June. The Stadium, seating in
an emergency upward of 100000
persons, has been secured
Among the notables who have
promised to attend the "fest" :,
are the crown prince of Sweden
and his consort. Professor A.
A. Stomberg of the Minnesota
State University is temporarily
chairman of the central organiza-
tionz formed for the purpose of
carrying out the plans. :
A Protest. =.
In the latest edition of prom
inent Danish theatrical journal
an earnest protest against the
constant invasion Of the Ameri-
can movie" is being made;
first, it is asserted that the film
plays exported from here to
Denmark are monotonous, crude
and too childish in their wild
west stuff; and then it is al
legged that there seems to be on
foot a movement to keep Danish
as we'll as other European films
outside America. For these
reasons the hope is expressed
that unless American films show
some improvement, and unless a
reciprocal arrangement may be
effected, the Danish public will
pay less attention to the Amer
lean movies" than it does at the
present time.
Lief Erickson Day.
Sons of Norway lodges in var
ious parts of the northwest are
fostering a movement to per-
suade state legislatures to recog-
nize Lief Erickson as the real
discoverer of America by insti-
tuting an annual Left Erickson
day; efforts are also being made
to have Left nationally recog-
nized as the first white man who
ever set foot upon American soil,
and a national holiday is being
urged as token of this recog-
milton.
Swedish Invention.
Supported by Swedish-Ameri-
cans and by a concern in Sweden,
a factory is to be established at
Pomona, CAL, for the purpose of
producing in mass quantities a
tissue paper, invented by a Swe-
dish chemist and said to be better
than any other paper now on
the market for wrapping of
fruit. The California Fruit
Wrapping Mills is the name of
the new organization formed for
the purpose of manufacturing
this paper, and it is capitalized
at $500,000.

Mr.. Nesbit also sang remarkably
well the two songs by Charles w.
Critics. the American composer of
marked talent who died practically
from starvation before he had reached
his thirties. They are beautiful songs,
which have not been heard here, pub
Iicly, at least. The symphony in

Moon is another rarely beautiful
song.
BY the time he reached his third

evidence Of the cold which. he stated
later, he had been fighting to over
come. Yet his real art in sustaining
notes and legato style of singing and
his clear enunciation carried these last

fashion. "a Little Dream" with
words by Sara Teasdale, was the origi-

this group. They all show intelligent

Mrs. SchulZe played as the opening
group three "Children's Scenes" en-
titled March of the Storks," "'The
Snail and the Rain" and THE Little
Fish" written by the Scandinavian
composer. Alex Voormolen. in 1923.
She followed it with "A group written
in 1925 by the same composer. This
group was based on Anderson's fairy
tales and included an introduction,
Aladdin Waltz Of Cinderella" and
ITO an Ugly Duckling." Both groups
were fascinating in their lightly,
satirical method of treatment. Played
in thirds and siXths, with liberal use
Of chromatics. they were. withal, filed
with melody. They were very short.
Mrs. Schulze also played two
poulenc ''impromptus, one an adagio
in tempo, the other in waltz time.
Both possess that quality that is dis
tinctly Poulenc's. A scherzo by Critics
for the piano was also given interest
ing reading by Mrs. Schulze.
The entire program was genuinely
delightful. HI. r.

MODERN MUSIC PROGRAM.

baritone whose voice is popular with
radio fans, gave an unusual program
of modern music delightfully."- at the

great composers, using MARY Had

the unique thing musically and do
il well. She is a talented pianist
with the added knack Of presenting
the modern in music so that II shows
to best advantage. MIR. Nesbit seems
to be equally gifted as Mrs. Schu!=e
in reading the modern music ef-

CHINESE JUSTICE AND OURS

Three times Slang Sun Wan, young Chinese stu
dent of Washington, D. c., faced death on the
gallows, charged with the murder of three Of his
countrymen back in 1919.
But Wednesday the heavy steel doors Of the
District jail swung wide and out walked Wan into
the June sunshine, free after mora than seven
years in prison, four of them in the death cell.
All this tirqe American justice had held this
youth purely circumstantial evidence. The bullet
rddled bodies of three members of the Chinese edu-
catona mission had been found the mission office
floor and Wan, then schoolboy. charged with
the crime
Was he guilty? Today the law says no. In
final dramatic scene it took the court just twenty
minutes to exonerate him.
One of his first acts was to cable his old blind
mother in China. He had not heard from her in a
month and was worried.
He first expressed desire was to take. a walk
in the sunshine and see the green trees and flowers
and other growing things.
These are not the impulses of youth with
guilty conscience.
VANS eyes twinkled merriy and his face
beamed like cherubs, SO those who him say.
He was just plain glad.
Yet, years ago the police had put this boy
through the third degree. And our law, eager for
victim and anxious to "cear up" an otherwise I'M
solvable murder mystery, had doomed him to hang.
