March 14th." "May it please the court," said Richardson, "Friday will be Just as unlucky Tor him as the 13th." The Judge frowned.

Garfield High School Orchestra Leads Junior Musical Bodies

Within less than ten years a small musical body of Garfield school meeting Irregularly in the second floor hall of the school building has grown into an organization of 70 members having regular rehearsals twice a week. The Garfield orchestra has not only Increased in personnel, but has gained greater and greater prestige, by a continual increase in standards and quality, of players and music. At present the instruments represented are violins, violas, 'cellos, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, cornets, French horn, trombones, drums, bells and piano, with Enthusiastic, and promising players manipulating them. The orchestra is no longer "Just for the school," for during the past year it has made public appearance at a number of civic meetings, taking part in war ami relief enterprises with patriotism, and zeal. Several invitations have been offered the Garfield orchestra to appear in public concerts in other tawns this spring. Some of these invitations are to be accepted, and concert programs are being arranged now. Folios including ; marches, tone poems, and a few overtures are used by the orchestra, and some excellent work has been noted in the appearances of the organization during the past year. When told of the extreme youth of the musicians, many visitors have doubted that such an aggregation could make successful concert appearances. Such persons have been given an opportunity "to see for themselves", and the result has been one of wb,ich Richmond may feel proud. Judge Boggs, formerly of the Garfield teaching corps, took an active interest in the organization of the first orchestra, and Miss Florence Shute, now in Pittsburg schools, and Miss Elizabeth Sands, now Mrs. Guy Campbell, of Chicago, were the immediate predecessors of Miss Edna Marlatt. who is director of the 70 boys and girls now forming the orchestra, including the following: ; First violins George Wissler, William Romey, Robert Hough, Paul Swain, George Krueger, Ernest Russell, Leslie Hart, Lewis Davis, Pauline Arnold, Irma Weaver, Elmer Aufdemarsch, William Mullen, Glenna Miller, Louise Bentley, Reba Townsend, Margaret Campbell, Helen Reece, Pauline Wallace, Argus Ogborn, Robert Ryan, Gaar Davis, Elgar Hopkins. Second violins Naomi Dietz, Joseph Hale, Fred Thistlethwaite, Hilbert WEST VIRGINIA GAS RULING MAY AFFECT INDIANA WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The West Virginia legislature has Just enacted a law providing that all natural gas companies cf the state shall satisfy to the limit of their ability all demands for gas made upon them by West Virginia consumers, both commercial and domestic, before piping any of their supply outside the state. The law effects several thousand domestic consumers of natural gas in Indiana and Ohio, to which states the West Virginia gas is now piped. About twenty Indiana towns and cities are dependent upon West Virginia gas for fuel for cooking. Since the West Virginia factories are permitted to use gas without restriction it may be expected that the time will come when the state will have no surplus for outside consumption. Conserved This Winter. As a conservation measure, Indiana and Ohio factories have been- prevented frim using the natural gas this winter, the supply being restricted to the domestic consumers in those states, but it is reported that the companies distributing gas in those two states are anxious to let down the bars again to the industries. Whether the United Slates fuel administration will permit this modification of its present order will be determined after a hearing to be held early next'week in Pittsburg. The fuel administrators of Indiana and Ohio have Just received word of this conference. It is expected that thy will oppose the modification, especially in view of the action of the West Virginia legislature. It is said that the central Indiana gas company hope3 to show that the mild winter has so changed the gas situation that it can supply factories as well as domestic consumers. It is understood here that domestic consumers in Marion, Richmond, Muncie and other Indiana cities are ready to protest against a withdrawal of the fuel administration's order. 1 MUSTARD PLASTERS!

VIOLENCE USED BY BOLSHEVISTS TO HOLD POWER Leaders Cannot Control Factions, Declares Witness at Propaganda Hearnig. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Violent practices of the Bolshevik! to maintain themselves in power were recounted at .the Senate Committee's inquiry into lawless agitation in this country. : ' Little definite evidence of Bolshevist " propaganda in the United States was presented, although one witness, Prof., Ralph Dennis, of Northwestern University, Y. M. C. A. worker, expressed belief J that a well-organized propaganda system had been developed in this country. Another witness, Russell M. Story, of the University of Illionis, who recently returned from Russia as a Y. M. C. A. worker, said he had received the impression that people in this country have a "very active and honest desire"' to know about the Bolshevik system. The committee will decide tomorrow whether to call as witnesses the Americans who have defended Bolshevism In speeches or published articles. Louise Bryant, a speaker at a recent meeting in Washington, at which Bolshevism was explained, today asked Chairman Overman of the committee, for an opportunity to be heard. She was told she would receive an answer tomorrow. Hundreds Were Executed. Robert Leonard, of St. Paul, a former Y. M. C. A. secretary, who was imprisoned for six weeks by the Bolsheviki in Russia on an Indefinite charge, told the committee today that the extraordinary commission for the suppression of counter-revolution ordered the execution of hundreds of political opponents, including many social revolutionaries only a little less radica than themselves. Lenine and other leaders, he said, "were considered sincere, but they could not control Bolshevist organizations throughout Russian provinces," and that many excesses and abuses were committed without knowledge of the principal leaders.
