MOVE GAINS FAVOR
SnoWden Advocates Vote in
Answer to Labor Query
in Commons.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 16.-The belief
that a general election would be held
this Fall was strengthened today by
the switching CT prominent free traders
to protectionist ranks.
Among other signs was a statement
made by Chancellor Snowden in the
House CT Commons last night provoking
sall.es Of laughter, but considered sig
nificant, in answering a Labor mem
bers query about an appeal to the
people.
Sees Party DepOsed.
"He does not want an election more
earnestly than I do" Mr.. Snowden said.
Il have admired in these last days the
manner in which my late associates have
cheered to keep up their spirits, know
ing that only few weeks possibly re-
main before they lose the place that
knows them now, but will know them
no more
The desire for an early vote Is strong
est among Conservatives who are eager
to challenge the electorate on the tariff
issue and who are trying to push their
leader, Stanley Baldwin, into public
stand. Another section of the party.
especially those with large financial in
terestS, are said to be opposed to the
idea.
Liberals Oppose Appeal.
Many Liberals, in spite of the swing
in their ranks toward a tariff policy,
are adverse to a dissolution of Parlia-
ment. and Prime Minister Macdonald
is also said to be opposed. Financial
circles largely are adverse on the
ground 1t would cause national unrest
and threaten the stability of the pound
sterling.
The Daily Mail, vigorously campaign
ing against such move, said Mr.. Mac
Donald has received urgent appeals
from London's Wall street saying "a
crisis even more terrible than that
which preceded the formation Of the
national government would result If
rumors of an early election persisted"

Der l6.--Plans for rehabilits ton of Be-
lie remained at a standstill today while

ponds upon the success of cleaning up

PLAN TO TRANSFER
DEER IS PRESENTED
Great Smoky Mountain Ma
tionaI Park May Become

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Great Smoky Mountain National
Park, in North Carolina and Tennessee,
may become one Of the East's most i'm
portant game refugees.
j. r. Eakin, superintendent Of the
park, with headquarters at Maryville,
Tenn, who is guarding the more than
100000 acres which already have been
turned over to the Government, has
presented to the park service q project
for stocking the Smokes with deer
which now overrun the Pisgah National
Forest, in North Carolina.
The Smokes, though much too wild
for more than few men to have pene-
trated them, had been denuded of deer
by dogs who can outrrln their quarry in
the dense underbrush. Pisgah Forest.
on the other hand, with Government
protection now has about 5000 deer
far too many.
Eakin's plan is to have Pisgah Forest
rangers trap few deer each year for
transfer to the Smokes. There they
will be kept in fenced Enclosures until
acclimated. later being turned loose to
populate the mountains. The cost of
trapping deer is about $25 each. he esti-
mated. and it will cost SIS more to trans
port them.
He worked out plan for transferring
between next year and 1910 total of
675 deer. Their natural rate Of multi
plication should yield a tremendous
herd in a few years, much of 1t over
flowing into the adjoining mountain
ranges to furnish new hunters para

Music

ONE Of the deeply impressive Easter
celebrations among the music
schools in the city, was the annual
Easter Eve Ritual which was pre-
sented last Saturday night by the King
Smith Studio School, and which was
attended by an invited group of friends
and music lovers Of this city.
This Ritual" an Arrangement by
August King-Smith Of Haydn's 1.-THE
Passion" was performed by 10 singers
and five dancers, who interpreted the
beautiful chorals and many of the
choruses against an artistic Cathedral
Window" background.
This service, incidentally, has grown
out of the singing of THE Passion"
several years ago by the King-Smith
Fauvettes in connection with the pre-
sentation Of Strindberg's play Easter"
by the Rams Head Players of Washing
ton. Since that time the yearly pre-
sentation has been given at the studio
and each year the ritual has developed
In impressive beauty.
This season the costumes worn by the
singers and the dancers were secured
from the Neighborhood Playhouse in
New York City, having been worn by
the Martha Graham Dancers in the
Christmas Ritual" last December. Mr..
and Mrs. King-Smith were assisted in
the presentation Of IAN Easter Ritual
by Caroline Mckinley and Robert
Byrne, who designed the unusual and
Interesting settings. 3. D. S.

Thurst0n the Magician
Delights the Folks at BelaScO.

TINE festive season of egg rolling
is helped tmmeaSurably by
the advent of that master
L magician, Thurston, who last
night dazed, dazzled and de-
lighted a large audience of children
and grown-up children at the first
of his entertainments at the Shubert
BelaSco.
Mr.. Thurston, whose motto is, ct
wouldn't deceive you for the world"
did about everything to defy law,
order, custom and the usual routine
of gravity. Fair ladies were sawed
in two; knives were plunged into
evidently transparent bodies; eggs
were multiplied by the hundreds;
rabbits, pigeons, "geeses" and
canaries had their innings, and
wonder of wonders-a real, live lady
floated In the air without any sup
port Of any kind, and was shipped
into darkness by the mere waving OF
Mr.. Thurston's hand.
Better than ever" seemed to be
the general verdict on Mr.. ThurSton's
wonder show" last night. Certain
ly the howls of delight that came
threats were ample evidence that
magic" is still one of the most
treasured of pastimes. The younger
set" sat with heads well forward,
eyes agog and tongues moderately
painting, trying to see through what
ever Mr.. Thurston had arranged
that they should not see through.
And when it came time for some Of
the audience to help with the per-
Torrance, there was rush of talent
to the fore and many willing hands
to help out with whatever was 60
ing on.
Mr.. Thurston's treatment of the
youngsters from whom he drew
goldfish and pigeons was amusing
for the most part. He did. however,
play rather mean trick on one
young volunteer, who was stranded
on a dark stage, weighed down by
many eggs and attacked by a large,
black, floating spider. The kid evi-
IDENTIFY was frightened-and who
wouldn't be?
Jane Thurston did things after
the manner Of her father, most par
ticularly black magic" besides a
little quiet dancing and singing, and
there was splendid collection of as
siSting ladies and gentlemen, who
gave themselves up to the cause of
magic, and all allowed themselves
to be shot, sawed and cut up with
the most alarming good will.
