Forty-five permits were issued last month for work estimated to cost $26,900; in 1920, 29 permits were issued for work estimated to cost $92,075. , April, 1920 . was a super-normal month all over the United States lor building work. It is the only month in eight years that has exceeded the current month of April for building activities, according to the American Contractor. Valuation Follows Cost The loss in valuation this year may be due to the lessened cost of con struction to some extent, although it cnnhl nnt all he attributed to this, it was stated. Since last December the trend of construction prices down ices uownward has been fairly constant but noti rapid. It is true that more deflation of building costs may well be expected! the national journal states.

DENOUNCES LAY-OFF OF 700 DRY AGENTS (Bv Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., May 19 Congressional failure to make sufficient appropriation for prohibition enforcement, necessitating a let-down for 40 days, was scored in a statement here today by P. A. Baker, superintendent of the Anti Saloon League of America. "Spiggot economy" and "a bung-hole prodigality" were terms used by him. "Lack of appropriation, forcing the discharge of 700 inspectors, is a most colossal blunder," the statement de clared. "These men have the evidence of thousands of- cases. The fines from convictions that surely would be made would turn back into the treasury funds sufficient to run the department for months."

THE

HEARTY APPLAUSE GREETS FESTIVAL CHORUS; ORCHESTRA AND SOLOIST APPEAR TONIGHT

Rounds of applause were evoked by the remarkable performance of school children of the city which opened the May Festival at the Coliseum Wednesday evening. Rows upon rows of little girls in white frocks with pink bows in their hair and as many little boys in white blouses with black tics, composing the children's chorus of 650 voices from the grade schools, were an imposing spectacle as they taced the audience. Below them ou the parquet the orchesetra and violin classes were arranged while high in the loft above the main actors of the cantata., in gay and dainty costumes were seated. Behind them a pretty green backdrop was screened with flowers. During their parts a colored spot light played across the loft. A pleasing performance was given by the violin classes under the directorship of Frederick K. Hicks. The re markable feature of their playing is that none of the players have received individual instruction, but have learned to play in groups, given weekly lessons by Prof. Hicks. The combined grade school orchestras and the high school junior orchestra under conductors J. E. Maddy and Miss Edna Marlatt, respectfully, were enthusiastically applauded. Present Cantata. The most conspicuous part of the matinee was the presentation of the cantata, "The Awakening of Spring," by the grade schools orchestra, the chorus of 650 voices, and principal characters. The orchestra executed their parts with surprising ability. The .chorus of clear, childish voices singing in perfect unison won numerous ovations from the audience. Little Miss Lena Reddington, cornetist, and little Miss Mildred Fox, probably the smallest and youngest soloist who ever sang at the Coliseum, were favorites with the audience. This performance will be repeated at the matinee Friday afternoon with children of Baxter, Whitewater, Finley, Hibberd and Vaile schools constituting the chorus instead of those from Starr, Warner, Moore and Sevastopol schools. The perfomance will commence at 2:30 o'clock. Admission will be 25 cents and 50 cents. Ochestra Appears. The High school orchestra, Apollo chorus, and Freshman Glee club will appear in the Thursday afternoon performance. - Their most conspicuous achievement is expected to be the presentation of a cantata, "The Tale of the Bell." Rhea CrandaJl. soprano, and William Romey, baritone, both high school students, will be soloists for the cantata. Itollin Pease of Chicago, vocal instructor of Northwestern university, and a bass-baritone of national reputation, will be assisting artist with the Richmond Symphony orchestra in its concert Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the Coliseum. The orchestra, which has been such a drawing card in its season's performances, promises, with the basso soloist, to be one of the OPEN DOOR POLICY AMONG ALL NATIONS IS URGED BY HOOVER NEW YORK, May 19. Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, sounded a warning Wednesday night before the National Association of Manufacturers, that combinations of exporters and importers in various countries again are seeking to dominate certain trarips which if not romHioH h.

lng there are many growths and ten dencies today that make for the direct or indjrect closing of the open door, Secretary Hoover drew an ovation when he declared the world is surely and slowly making toward economic stability. If Europe can keep the peace for another year, he said, there will be no further cause for American charity. Urges individualism. "I am making a plea for individualism in international economic life," Mr. Hoover said, "just as strongly as 1 would make a plea for individualism in the life of our own people. It is surely by the individual growth of intelligence, initiative and character I through protected equality of oppor tunity, stimulated by free competition, that we may lift the mass of humanity. This system cannot be preserved in domestic life if it must be abandoned in international life. "This is indeed not a threat, it Is not an announcement of a national policy. It is a plea that the world should 'stop, look and listen.' For, if the day comes when the United States with her gigantic resources and the intelligence of her people, shall be forced to enter upon these courses in her own protection, it will be a day of infinite losses to real progress and liberalism." ANTI CITY MANAGER FORCES MEET MONDAY Anti city manager forces will hold their, first public mass meeting at the high school auditorium Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

MEXICAN CONGRESS, IN WARNING OBREGON, CITES MADERO CASE (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, May 10. "Beware the fate of Francisco Madero, who failed to heed solicitation to change his policy and fell." was the warning that has been sent to Pres Went ODregon by Liberal-Constitutionalist members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. It was contained in a memorial drafted at a caucus of the LiberalConstitutionalists, and it made pointed charges that P. Elias Calles, secretary of the Interior and Adolfo de La Huarta, former president and now secretary of the treasury, had attempted to cause disaffection against the Obregon administration. The document was signed by 136 deputies and several senators. Referring to the necessity of President Obregon changing his policy immediately the memorial said "In connection with the invasion of the Cham ber of Deputies by radicals last week, the press has published your statements, which are almost identical with those made officially by the con federation of syndicate workers. You have stated the attack was of small importance, but this is a statement

which is at absolute variance with alljchop WOrk

the concepts of society. Madero Was Warned. In conclusion, the memorial declared that Francisco Madero's friends were convinced of the disloyalty of some of his alleged supporters. It said these friends had visited Madero in 1913 and had told him it was necessary for him to change his policy "But Madero," the memorial went on, "confident of his popularity, blind in his incapacity to conceive of wrong and sure of the loyalty of those who were represented as disloyal, heeded not and within a month there was begun the most prolonged tragedy thte nation has ever wnown. At this moment members of the Mexican congress, who have signed this document, call upon you to make a supreme effort that history may not be repeated, and place at your service their loyaity and patriotism, and their wishes for the prosperity of the nation." Secretaries Calles and De La Huarta were charged with attempting to use their offices to propagate radicalism. There was no request made, however, for the resignations of the two members of the cabinet. Dutch American Oil Dispute Made Public at The Hague (By Associated Press) THE HAGUE. May 19. Correspondence between the Dutch government ana tne American siaie ueyai tuieut public in an orange book issued by the government. The Dutch ministry has adopted a policy which would virtually debar American oil companies from entering the Djambi field. In an explanatory note included in the orange book, foreign minister Karnabeek discussed American laws governing the leasing of oil lands, which he declared placed an absolute interdiction against foreigners operating in American oil fields. He argued that the American law goes much further than the Dutch-Indian mining act in denying subjects of countries which do not reciprocate free access to oil lands. He declared that subjects of such countires could not be shareholders of a company producing oil in America, whereas the Dutch-Indian law does not make this restriction. Civic Club Women to Attend Conclave WASHINGTON.

Set Aside Land Parcels For Use of Settlers (By Associated Pr-es VIENNA, May 19. Nearly 1.000 estates or parcels of land located in 210 communities have been set aside by the government for allocation to settlers under the land expropriation act.

In the latter case compensation is made but in the former instance the land is confiscated. ITALIAN VETERANS DRIVING GIRLS OUT OF OFFICE PLACES (By Associated Pre? ROME, May 19. Italian soldiers who were more or less mutilated during Ihe war lately have taken the law into their own hands and have swarmed in thousands into many of the government ministries, taking possession by force of the places of the many young women who gained a footine there during the war, and so far have refused to be displaced. j Newspapers are being flooded with i tlyat,h'e Vclerks havreVrT he! ieiiers, some tew of them arguing ril,hf lr if , ' " right to work if they please, and to support themselves, but most of 'the writers telling lurid and terrible tales of the frivolity of these daughters of Eve; of the little work they do and the great amount of time they waste on flirtations and on their toilettes; of the alleged subversive .effect they have In well-regulated ministries, and of many families whoe peace is said to have been undermined and of many dangerous proximity to staid and respectable men At any rate it appears that soldiers who have served their country have made good their claim to the coveted positions and, both in Rome and in many provincial towns the edict has gone forth that the girls must go. Italian housekeepers hope that some will return to the many mistresses who sign in vain for assistance in their households, but doubt whether after the short hours and independence of office life they will take kindly to domestic service or the long hours of PEACE RESOLUTION WANTED BY HARDING WASHINGTON, May 19 Chairman Porter, of the house foreign affairs committee, said after a conference today with President Harding that the chief executive hoped for adoption of a peace resolution by the house without unnecessary delay.

'Mr. Porter added, however, that Mr. Harding was equally clear in his personal expression to see adoption of the resolution completed. Re-Elect 13. S. Bishops; Buffalo is Selected INDIANAPOLIS.

Approximately 1,500 delegates to the conference filled the front seats of the hall. The remainder was filled with residents of Indianapolis. Officials of the church made every effort to reserve seats for the delegates but( those who came late were compelled to take their chances with the rest. Reception Enthusiastic Mr. Bryan received an enthusiastic reception when he entered that hall at S o'clock. Many of the older members of the gathering had heard him speak many times before in various parts of the country. An old white-haired man, in the rear of the hall, provided an element of humor for those about him when he stood up on his chair, peered at the platform. When he sat down, he re marked: "It's the same Bryan. marKeu . its iuc raiuc uljo.il. voted for him three times and I'll vote for him again if he runs " Mr T?rvan in a nrnlntrue to hU ad - I've dress, declared that it was his pur - pose to emphasize that there are only. two attitudes .,ihat .-man can assume toward his felfBws iat of brother or that of beast. This." he said, did not alone apply to war but to commercial life as well. He denounced the Darwinian hypothesis and denied the supposed relation of man to beast, con demning the scientists and teachers who, he said, endeavored to divorce God from the universe and place the gradual development of the world to: the credit of evolution. He asserted that only when the leaders of the world believed in God's plan only and guided the affairs of nations according to that plan could the world become peaceful and the right of all men be respected.
