UTILITY MEASURE . PAWS THIS WFFK

Dangerous Amendments Are Threatened Amusement Bill to Come Up.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 17. That the Shively-Spencer public utilities bill, in: practically its latest revised form will pass the senate early this week was assured by tentative promises made to Senator Shively in recent conferences with Governor RalBton and Senator Curtis, the floor leader. It Is understood that Senators Kistler, Hauck and others have amendments in contemplation, but these will be sidetracked 'or entirely prevented If present plans go through. Several senators have been "approached" with a view of making the public utilities bill a caucus measure for the purpose of putting through several amendments, but it is known that Senator Shively will consent to

but two changes in the bill one dealing with the physical valuation of properties, and the other concerning the Issuance of securities. These are expected to make little difference in the vitality of the measure.

Traction interests will center their j Are on this bill, because it may affect their rates, service and methods of Issuing stocks and bonds. It is understood that nearly all of the Indiana traction companies are waterlogged and It is deemed certain that Charles L. Henry of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati traction company will urge that all roads coming under the Jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission be exempted from the provisions of this bill, or at least from the section relating to the physical valuation of everything "useful or used." Senator Shively will fight any such amendment, according to his frank statements to the governor and senate leaders because it would nullify the law, as all of the traction lines have more or less Interstate business. Should Senator Hauck attempt to put over anything In the proposed caucus there is likely to be an open revolt, in which Carletoa, Grube, Adam, George C. Wood and Clarke would be likery to join.

A T1CKLI8H QUESTION. INDIANAPOLIS, Teh. 17. With Sunday baseball assured for at least

two more years, through the action of

committees which squelched all measures in opposition thereto, the ticklish subject of legalising Sunday theaters as provided for to Senator Zearing's bill faced the lawmakers this week. Zearing's bill has successfully sur

vived second reading, but so many

protests have been received against it by many of the senators that they are lending serious thought to the wishes

of their constituents. It was the inten

tion to wait until the first sting of this measure had worn off before bringing

the bill to the front, but it was con

ceded in many quarters that the agi

tatlon against the so-called "open Sun

day" bids fair to Imperil the passage

of Zearing's law. Next to the public utilities bill, and of course the spectacular fight being made in connection wtth Representative Keegan's 8-hour -a-day for women workers measure the Sunday theater bill Is rceisving the most careful consideration by those who will have to go on record, for or against Sunday amusements.

The local public in not surprised,

after hearing it yesterday, therefore, to know that it packed Carnegie Hall from pit to dome.

That it elioits tempestuous "bravas" from its auditors in metropolitan centers. That the latter's musical critics give it columns of space. This city has never had such an organization "within its gates." We had the Thomas some years ago, but not in its entirety. Here we had an organization of eighty-five men and several more instruments in the aggregate. And if one could be permitted to

say so it was a delicious sound.

In this is heard the harp in solo and

so insistent was the applause that the harpist, Mr. A. J. Williams, gave an encore "The Waterfall," a composition which is a superb medium for the display of the talents of a player of this instrument. Richard Czerwonkey, the concertmaster of the orchestra, and a violinist known to two continents, was heard in solo in the presentation of an

excerpt from "Thais," herein showing his technical proficiency and interpretative form, the enthusiasm being so prolonged that he responded with a composition of his own, a "Serenade," i given with harp accompaniment,

which was as elusive and fragrant as the shadow and perfume of a flower on a summer's day. In the final number Moszkowskl's "Malaguena" from "Boabdil," Mr. Oberhoffer again demonstrated his artis

tic and passionate restraint, this bril-

liant-hued composition, full of barbaric color and lyrical intoxication, being given with incomparable musical acumen. So prolonged was the recall that an encore number was given the bacarolle from "Tales from Hoffman," with its exquisite melodies. The orchestra is, in resume, an ex-

orgy of traordinary organization both in technique and temperament. It would not

Mrs. McLean were daughters. Lewis was the chief beneficiary of a will-executed by Wyatt several years ago' in California. It was probated a few months ago and the two daughters went to California to attempt to break

the will. Lewis compromised, after some litigation by giving them $500 additional. James M. Wyatt was the chief stockholder of the old Commercial Bank of this place several years ago. The bank failed in 1905 and John Bowman cashier, committed suicide. Fearing that he would be compelled to satisfy depositors with money realized from his personal holdings Wyatt fled to California. He had been married three times.

An unusual number of deaths have

' occurred in Centerville and vicinity

among pioneer residents of Wayne

county within the past few days. Mrs. Mary Myers, seventy-six years

of age, died Monday morning, her death being unexpected, although she

had been sick for some time. Her

death was caused by heart failure. It occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Voss, with whom she had been living. The funeral afcnouncement will be made later. Jacob Crowe, who lives south of Centerville, and who had been in poor health for several years, is dead of senility. Mr. Crowe had been in a feeble condition for a long time and his death was not unexpected. He was unmarried and leaves a brother, Ashan Crowe. The time of the funeral has not been decided. The funeral of William Weddle one

of the best known residents of Center

ville, was held Sunday, his death having occurred Saturday. He leaves four children. Mrs. Eli Endsley, one of the oldest residents of Wayne county, is not expected to live through today, Mrs. Endsley being eighty-two years of age. Mrs. Endsley Is well known throughout the county and is the only surviving class-mate of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's famous war governor. Mrs. Endsley attended school with Morton in the old Centerville seminary.

It unites both the sensuous and the spiritual. Its appeal to the senses is direct. , Its emotional attack is not circuitous. Its Intellectual lure is undoubted. And its spiritual power potent. In the program of yesterday afternoon there was a variety of emotional and artistic sensation.

Its marvelous ensemble effects, especially in the strings, to the layman, were so perfect as to suggest one instrument, its color was beautifully distributed here gorgeous, there melting Into faint nuances and its pianissimo wonderful. Mrs. Luella Chilsom Ohrman, the Boprano soloist, met with one of the

iXatlonal Nw Association) LONDON. Feb. 17. AU of the five exploration parties which started for the South Pole three or more years ago have been accounted for. A telegram received today stated that members of the Lieut. Filchner's Antarctic expedition had reached there, tl is believed the party did not reach the south pole although members of the party who returned, denied that there was any friction among the

members. The Austrian expedition under Dr. Mawson also has been heard from. A wireless message' received at Sydney. Australia, from Adelie Land by way of Axequario Island announced that the Aurora, the ship of the Mawson expedition, had left there with Dr. Mawson and the other members of the party. Frank Wild, who went Into the Antarctic with Sir Ernest Shackleton. is with the MawBon party and will lead a trip of exploration over the glacier Aerminatlon. which is the biggest in

the world. The Mawson party then probably will return home. The first party to be heard from was the Norwegian expedition under Cap. Raold Amundsen, who discovered the South Pole. Amundsen returned to civ. ilization in March, 1912. The Japanese expedition under Lieut Shirase moved south so silently

that most of their operations were shrouded In mystery- This party did not reach the pole, but made some mlportant scientific discoveries. It returned after having been reported

dead.

The fifth party was that under Capt. Robert F. Scott, whe perished with

four companions after placing the Un

ion Jack at the South pole. It Is safe

to say that Amundsen and Scott's par

ties were the only ones to reach the

coveted goal.

tic Interludes the pleasures of perfec

tion, the images evoked by faultless musical form there is nothing, indeed, that a great musical composition, interpreted through the intellect and with artistic passion, cannot evolve In the human mind. Emil Oberhoffer is an extraordinary conductor.

Artistic restraint run riot if such a

paradox were possible.

Here is a conductor not obsessed

with the feeling for form. Is not entirely concerned with the demonstration of the anatomy of a musical creation. Nor alone with the flesh that covers it.

Rather does he acknowledge the

necessity of both the anatomy and the flesh but recognizes that tt can be only

a lay figure without the animating spirit of life and passion.

And forgets never the sardonic humours of life. He neither delights in the musical dissecting room nor tn the wallow of

romantic musical ineptitude he is, in

short, that rarest of entitles, a thoroughly sane artist. This was shown in his reading, especially, of the Peer Gynt Suite, and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2, in which the temptation to over accentuate, to weave fantasticly into the fabric of presentation, Is one resisted by few of his class. The reading of the former was, to the notion of the writer, absolutely In conformity with the spirit and intent of the author whose literary creation inspired the composer. There Is something Just a trifle different about Scandinavian artistic expression. In all of the arts. Like the wonderful northern landscape ft seems not quite real. Like life as we know it in dreams. It Is thus with Grieg's music. And, with an their bald realism, thus with Ibsen's plays. The four movements of the Suite were, under Oberhoffer's guiding baton, a series of distinct and yet, interrelated pictures. The loveliness of the "Morning" is felt for itself alone and yet as it presages and accentuates the poignant sadness of "Aase's Death" the latter wonderfully interpreted by the strings. It serves not only as a musical commentary on the aloofness of Death, its terror and its beauty, but Its sardontcism In contrast with the swirling life of "Anitra's Dance," which was as exquisitely lilting as a lyric by Herrick. In contrast was the climatic 'In the Hall of the Mountain King," with its suggestion of primal grandeur. Oberhoffer's reading of the two movements of Tschaikowsky's famous "Pathetique," was the most satisfactory the writer remembers to have , heard, although her judgment is based

not upon technical foundation. This great musical presentation of life as a whole, and of its overwhelming tragedy. Is "one of the greatest epice ever written in any art and Oberhoffer's presentation of two of its phases was governed by the nature of its inspirational impetus. A powerful appeal has the Russian in any atj. His artistic conceptions . are evolved from Life itself, not the latter's semblance, and

stead, one from "La Travlata," which displayed all the possibilities of her remarkable vocal organ. Mrs. Ohrman's voice lends itself to coloratura with eclat, her effects from forte to plannissimo and from the latter to forte, being as smooth and rounded as the subtle curves on a Grecian column and full of dassling color.

CNalionat Nwa Association) CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 17. Enver Bey. commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, is reported to be lying seriously wounded from an assassin's stab in. the harem of Sultan Mohammed V. The attempt upon Enter Bey's life was the outcome of the illstarred attempt to transport an army, of Asiatic troops across the sea of' Marmora and the Dardanells, to flank

the Bulgarians and Servians operating along the Northern shores of the Sea of Marmora and throughout the Galli-

poll peninsula. -;

After the flight of the remnants of

the Asiatic array, following the sinking of several transports by Bulgarian' artillery, Enter Bey returned to Con

stantinople. The hostilities against

the new commander-in-chief, resulting from the assassination of Natim

Pascha by one of Enver's aides was intensified by the failure of Enver t carry out the brilliant coup be had

promised with his Asiatic troops.

Enver Bey was attacked In front

of the war office during the temporary

absence of his bodyguard, according to reports, and stabbed. As he fell he drew his revolver and killed his as

sailant. Enver had married into the

reigning family which established his

right to house himself in the harem of the Sultan.

Despite the emphatic declaration of

the European powers that the Balkaa

league should confine the war theater

to Turkey In Europe Greece Is re

ported to be landing troops In Asia near the western end of the Dardanelles.

The Greeks are said to have landed

a heavy force near Bexlka Bay. Intend

SPRING HAS ARRIVED

That spring is not far distant is the statement of Walter Ratliff. Mr. Ratliff bases this on the fact that a flock of meadow-larks was seen in his yard today. There have been a few blue birds and cardinals seen in variuos parts of the county. This is almost an invariable indication of an early spring. As the meadow-larks arrived just two weeks before they came last year. The winter birds have been here until the recent cold weather, the mild December and January causing them to stay here rather than to migrate. They disappeared, however, after the cold weather of this month. Mr. Ratlrff states that so far as birds indications go an early spring may be expected.
