PROF. EARHART'S OVATION

VU8IC LOVERS OF CITY TRY TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION FOR HIS EFFORTS A CRITICAL REVIEW. Under conditions that certainly could not have been more favorable, the opening concert of Richmond's Centennial May Festival, was given last evening in the Coliseum before an audlenCe that numbered fully 2,500 persons, and which was thoroughly representative of the city. The size of the audience was of Itself a most gratfylng feature of the first night, for as was generally known the promoters of the festival had been greatly apprehensive for several days past that the apparent lack of appreciation meant financial failure for the undertaking. The lower floor and the balcony terrace were ,almost completely filled and the gallery held a fair sized crowd. So great was the crush of arrivals at 8 o'clock, that it was ,wlth difficulty that the ushers could handle the crowd and there was a delay of nearly halt an hour in beginning the program. The hall was simply, though attractively decorated. The extreme west gallery above the chorus was banked its entire length with palms and other tropical plants. The glare of hundreds of Incandescent electric lamps had been softened effectively by "encaslng them in Japanese lanterns, and the effect of this method of decoration was strikingly beautiful. Chorus Grouping Effective. The chorus of tw hundred and fifty voices, was stationed immediately be hind the orchestral platform and the grouping of this great organization of singers was most tactive. It was a picture that aroused the deepest admiration of the audience. The Theodore Thomas Orchestra, numbering sixty-two pieces, and the

corded enthusiastic welcome, but the real ovation was when Mr. Will Ear- , hart stepped upon the platform to direct both chorus and orchestra for the concluding number of the program, "The Crusaders." The rendition of this masterpiece fulfilled the . expectation of the audience and Mr. Earhart's warm reception was well deserved. REVIEW OF THE CONCERT. (By Miss Laura C. Gaston.) t" The orchestral offerings of the first evening concert were the prelude to the Meistersinger, performed for the .first time-in 1868 and one of the most .genial of the Wagner compositions; rone movement, "The Largo." from Dvorak's "New World Symphony" and "Les Preludes," by Franz Liszt. Naturally much interest centers in the young conductor upon whom has fallen the mantle of Theodore Thomas greatness. Certainly the trustees of the Chicago Orchestral Association" have shown great wisdom in giving the direction of this superb orchestra to one who stood so near to Mr. Thomas in the last years of his life. That Frederick Stock is making good, the , success of the past season has "amply proven. He undoubtedly is a fine conductor; if there is not so much of the electric In his wand as there was in that of Thomas, the personal element Is yet very noticeable and he Is evidently master of every device for securing artistic and musical effects from his, forces. Theires Woven Together. One thing that was very noticeable in the.bverture to the Meistersinger, which opened last night's program, was the masterly weaving together of the various themes which appear in the opera. The Melsterslnger's motive, Walter's prize song, the chattering theme of the apprentices are all woven into one harmonious whole. It goes without saying that it was played In a masterly manner and was received with great appreciation by the audience. Quite the most beautiful number by the orchestra, however, was "The Largo" from Dvorak's symphony. This received a most charming interpretation; was played with so much sympathy and grace that It delighted the .hearers. The pianissimo passages were played with wonderful feeling, swelling into a brief climax and dy ing away into a short coda at the close. . Liszt Number Very Effective. The Liszt number was particularly graceful and was given 'a brilliant and effective reading. It probably is the finest of Liszt's orchestral com positions, and never falls to thrill an audience. Liszt calls it a "symphonic gr"m" and was the creator of this itrm of composition. It is distinctly (Continued on Page t tve.)

Publishers' Press Washington, May 28. Senator Bailey Intends to force action in the case of Senator Burton of Kansas, at the next meeting of the privileges and elections committee. He holds that the chances that the Supreme Court of the United States will give Burton a rehearing are as a thousand to one, and does not believe that the Senate should withhold action, under the circumstances, pending that decision next October. Senator Bailey says that if Burton does not resign in the meantime, he will urge the committee to report a resolution expelling him from the Senate.

FLU THREE BIG CAMP MEETINGS Methodists Will Try to Arouse Old Time Enthusiasm in This District. WILL BE HELD IN JULY STEWARDS IN SESSION YESTER DAY AT GRACE M. E. CHURCWi RAISE SALARY OF PRESIDING ELDER TO $2,000. In order to Inspire a little of the old time Methodist fire into the hearts of the members of the church and others who may join, the Rev. Thomas M. Guild, recently elected presiding elder of Richmond District, recommended vesterday. at the annual meet ing of the pastors and stewards of the church, that three camp meetings De held this year, and after some discussion. It was decided to accept the plan. For years, camp meetings have not had the popularity that they once had and have been dropped ior a long time from the Methodist church of this district. An effort will be made to revive the old fashioned spirit this summer, however, and the three tent camps, each lasting ten days, with noted evangelists on the platform, are expected to accomplish mucn tor the church. First at Rldgeville. The first of the tent camp meetings will be held at Rldgeville, and will begin about the first of July. This will be for the north part of the dis trict. The second will be immedi ately afterward and will be held at Os borne's Lake, near Economy. This will last the same length of time, and the same religious speaker will be heard. The third will be at Dublin, and will occupy the last ten days of July. There was considerable other busi ness before the meeting of stewards yesterday. It was decided to raise the salary of the presiding elder to $2,000 per year, and a committee was appointed to apportion the charges to each church. The coming meeting of the Epworth League was discussed and It is probable that there will be a large gathering at Farmland when the meeting is commenced. The Rev. Mr .Guild made a few remarks before taking his seat. A resolution of wel come was passed, in which the pastors pledged their support to the new pre siding elder.

SEARCH WAS FRUITLESS

OHIO OFFICER HAD RELIABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE MAN HE HUNTED HAD BOARDED A TRAIN FOR THIS CITY. Constable Bumbll of Troy, O., was in the city yesterday presumably searching for a man named Knipper, a former Catholic priest, who Is wanted in Troy, O., to answer a charge of criminal assault on a young girl. When Knipper learned that a warrant for his arrest had been sworn out by the father of the young girl he left town and has been a fugitive from justice the past six or seven weeks. Constable Bumbi stated yesterday that he had learned that Knipper had gone directly from Troy to Cincinnati but all traces of him had been lost until last Saturday when a Troy newspaper man, who happened to be at the Union Station in Dayton, O., noticed the ex-priest alight from a train. The reporter stated that Knipper went to the ticket office and purchased a ticket to Richmond and that he saw him leave for this city on P. C. C. & L. train No. 21. When this 'information was supplied Bumbi came to this city hoping that he might apprehend his man here, but a search, in which he was aided by the local police, failed to locate Knlpper's whereabouts. It is thought that Knipper did not stav in this city any length of time, probably changing cars here. He is described as being large, fine looking man. While at the station last evening Constable Bumbi met the conductor on an east bound train, who was in charge of train No. 21 last Saturday. For the purpose of learning what information this conductor could di vulge Bumbi accompanied him to Dayton. , PLAN BIG MEETING Thousands of Indiana Labor Union Men to Gather in Indianapolis Next September.

DECLARES IT THE WORST KENTUCKY LEGISLATOR HOLDS THAT IT IS WORSE THAN EITHER THE STANDARD OIL OR PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM. Publishers' Press Washington, May 28. A sensational attack on the tobacco trust by Representative Stanley (Dem., Ky.) preceded the consideration of measures relating to the government of the District of Columbia in the House today. Mr. Stanley upon his resolution calling upon the President to send to the House the result of the inquiry into the tobacco trust . by Commissioner of Corporations Garfield. By reason of the failure of the judiciary committee to act, his resolution was privileged, but he did not press it, owing to the assurances of the officials of the department of ustice that such action would hamper the inquiry of Mr. Garfield. Interrupted in his flaying of the trust he pleaded for more time inorder, he said, that he "could tell enough to make any convict feel like an honest man in comparison with the conduct of the American Tobacco Company in - the last five years. The Most Powerful Trust. "I want to say" began Mr. Stanley, "not as a loose, unfounded denunciation, but quietly and deliberately, and to support what I say by absolutely controvertable proof and documentary evidence, that neither the Standard Oil Company, nor the Pennsylvania railroad nor any other combination of men outside of the penitentiary has ever so openly and flagrantly violated the law as has .the American Tobacco Company in the last two p j mn 4U..i.'fi'P m ti ' .

The House committee on rivers and harbors has come to an agreement, and will soon report the bill providing for the main tenance by the government of a ship canal from Lake Washington to Seattle. A private concern has agreed to construct the dam needed at Shltshole Bay and another corporation will jwtt up a five million dollar mill on Wash ington Bay as soon as the work is completed. The only question yet to be decided is whether the dam is to be built .of wood or stone. years. It Is the most perfectly organ Ized and powerfully equipped of all the trusts today. Independent oil refineries and independent steel manufacturers have managed to live and there are men who are conducting business independently, and N lawfully in definace of every other trust . . in the United States, but from the plant in the ground to the finished- product no men can engage in the tobacco business without doing fealty in money and in manhood to James B."

IMPERIAL FAMILY

HEADY TO LEAVE Coming Week May See Gen eral Outbreak in Southern Part of Russia. CAMPAIGN. OF VIOLENCE NEWS OF DOUMA'S ACTION IN DEFYING THE CZAR HAS ROUS ED TERRORISTS TO HIGH PITCH OF FURY! Publishers Press St. Petersburg, May 29. The gov ernment is in receipt of the most omnlous advices from every part of southern Russia and It is feared here that the next week will be fraught with most momentuous consequences It Is stated, apparently upon the best of authority, that the Czar has been advised not to thwart the douma at the present momene. but to accept the resignation of the present cabi net, and have a" reform ministry nam ed to serve as a stop gap, pending the restoration of normal conditions in the Empire. The news of the douma action in defying , the " government has appar ently roused the territories to the highest pitch, of fury ' and Saturday and Sunday stormy scenes are very likely to .be followed by a campaign of violence . will make that which fol lowed the last general strike pale Into Insignificance by comparison. The imperial fam'ly, it is asserted is in readiness to quit the country in a moment's notice. Leading officials of the douma are openly declaring that unless immediate sweeping re forms are granted, they are convinc ed that the country is on the brink of ruin. It is admitted on all sides that only the presence of the enormous guards of troops in this city has so far prevented a general out break. MR. DOUGAN'S GENEROSITY Visiting Ministers to the Genera Assembly Are Entertained by Him at May Festival. Between one hundred and fifty and two hundred visiting ministers who are in this city attending the ses sions of the . United Presbyterian General Assembly, were the guests of Mr. John B.

The increase in membership wfrl not' great, approximating 3 per otet. but the statistical report shows also that this growth has been general and not confined to certain localities ." Losses have been comparatively few In the matter of financial support giv en the various church boards, there has been a satisfactory condition shown but the assembly has been reminded that should the church not grow a pace with the increasing de mands of the boards, the contributions of the various presbyteries must be increased accordingly.

Tomorrow the committee on appropriations will submit its report and it is expected that substantial increases will be noted all along the line. In the neighborhood of $600,000 will be appropriated.
