PAGE FOUR A8HLAXB Tn)IXG8 Monday. July 8, 1912. BIG TABERNACLE PACKED FULL (Continued from Page One.) and wtre not nearly as mucn appre ciated as when the themes dealt with pleasing melodies that . touch the Ixjart and fire the imagination. Upsides giving the greater portion of Flotow's "Martha" an opera fuil of the daintiest morsels of rich and 'singable melodies the Chicago com pany essayed a presentation of the, now, hackneyed "Persian Garden" (the musical creation of a c.ever woman). "Komeo and Juliet" had a hear ing through the painstaking efforts of Leonora Allen and J. B. Miller. Both did excellent work and 'were loudly applauded. The "Prison Scene" music, too, was well done, Mr. 'Miller, with his beautiful, clear, resonant voice being particularly good. The greatest ac ceptance came, however, from the exceedingly clever manner, in which ".Martha" throughout was presented iu the acting and singing. "Plun kett' and "Lionel" were real rustic characters who through the spinning wheel and other devices taught the "two interested ladies" that it was no small thing to entangle themselves with simple country life, after their many exploits in the polished court of good Queen Anne. The closing quartet, "Good Night," was admirably sung and 'it is but truth to say, in passing, that, preceding the opera itself, Mr. Mil ler, in his rendition of "Sing Me the Songs of Araby," and Mr. Middletou (although suffering from a cold I in the "old standby," "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," proved them selves consummate artists. "The De scent of Man" was never made more manifest than when the singer safely landed on double D, in the conclud ing verse. The singing of these two ballads and the rendition by Freder icka Downing of "Annie Laurie" and Leonora Allen of "The Last Rose of Summer" showed plainly enough that the- 'common things of the common people" can always be safely reck oned on in the making of most pro grams. Ashlanders and the throng of Chautauqua visitors will always remember the visit of the Chicago Operatic Company with unfeigned satisfaction. The Schumann Quintet. These five performers consist of C. A. Lambert, leader; F. U. Haines, piano; N. 7,edler, cello; D. Simpson, obligate) violin; Elsie R. Haines, or jyin, and their presence in Ashland during two days' performances was, both from social and musical stand points, a marked success. The ' Glorious Fourth'.' gave them a right hearty welcome and they retaliated by contributing music of so varied, intrinsic and captivating character as to inspire the hope expressed by the words, "Will ye ne'er come back again?" Professor Lampert is a musical tactician of the first water and has never allowed himself to believe that the bellowing of the bull, the screeching of the owl, or pyrotech nic display of any sort can ever be made to stand for music. The programs presented were uni formly so full of good things as to make It well nigh impossible to do complete justice to the musical viands the professor set before his guests, but his plan of verbal and pictorial illustrations which precedes the performance of the music itself is admirably calculated to prepare the minds of his listeners for a due appreciation of the good things pro viled. Whether dealing with Mozart, Beethoven, Grejg, Rubenstein, Schu bert, or other of the great composers, Professor Lampert has always a great deal to depict. in the way of history, personality and musical asso ciation that stand for so much in (dealing with the creations of master miuds. Good music without being severely classical is the object to be .attained, and in the playing of Men delssohn's Wedding March, Schu mann's Traumerl, Schubert's Seren ade, movements from sonatas or sym phonies, examples are faithfully and artistically presented of all that is best in music. In the rendition of wich fine old melodies as "My Old Kentucky Home," "Way Down Upon the Suwaneo River," "Dixie" and the like. Professor Lampert is not un mindful of the beautiful effects capa ble of pleasing the musical mind and labors diligently to "make good" in every number piesented to his audi ence. Professor Lampert's work is so contageously happy that he ought to be sent around the world as a musical missionary "to soothe the savage breast." N. Zedeled, the celloist, is a fine artist and was loudly applauded for his solo work during the progress of the concerts. At the close of the final concert art and his loyal co- Professor Lam per ndjutors were presented with floral offerings, and at the invitation of 1'resident Billings the large audience, rising, declare! its desire to welcome hark the Sc.human Quintet at its Ashland Chautauqua (and iu its new home) in 1915. Mention should be made of the fact that, at the concerts on the Fourth, the band at Central Pofcit and our own local organization appeared up on the assembly platform aud, un mistakably, "did themselves proud." HUNRY G. GILMORK. J Dr. William Spurgeon of England occupied the platform Friday aud Saturday afternoons, speaking Fri day on the subject of "Popular Fol dieg and Common Mistakes," and Saturday on "Au Englishman's View of Uncle Sam and His Country." The lectures were of a popular nature . and were greeted by fair-sized audi ences. Dr. Spurgeon told a number of pertinent truths regarding Amer- , lean customs as they appear in the eyes of the Briton. One of the most entertaining and Inrtructlve numbers that have come to the Chautauqua platform for sev eral years, and one., that held a packed bouse for ' over two "hortrs, was the entertainment given by Fred Emerson Brooks, the California poet- RAID SOFT DRINK JOINTS. Liquor Taken in Itoscburg Snt to Eugene for Analysis. Roseburg, Ore. Necessity for the extension to Rosebnrg of -Governor West's moral crusade was removed Wednesday afternoon, when Sherilf Quine and a force of seven deputies, without warning, swooped down on the city's 10 allesd retail liquor stores and the plantof the Roseburg Brewing Company. Eleven kegs of beer and six unlabeled bottles of beer were seized. All of it was shipped to Eugene for analysis in the chemi cal laboratory of the State Univers ity. If it is found to contain alcohol in excess of the limit for "soft" drinks, prosecutions will follow. Not a drop of whiskey was found during the raid. All the beer seized at the retail houses is the product of the local brewery, which has never been in volved in the scores of prosecutions that have taken place here under the prohibition law within the past seven years. Believing, however, that the company's beer has for some time past exceeded the 3 per cent alcoholic limit and smarting under reports to Governor West that the prohibition law was being ignored by the local authorities. Sheriff Quine decided to gather in some of the brewery's beer and have it tested. SHAKE-IP IX TREASURY. Assistant Secretary Andrew Resigns His Position. Washington, July 3. A. Piatt An drew, assistant secretary of the treasury, resigned today in a letter containing such stinging criticism of Secretary MacVeagh that it has start ed what may become another admin istration scandal. Andrew wrote both to Taft and MacVeagh, criticising MacVeagh for his "indecision and attitude of hos tility toward minor officials," iu his department. In hisS letter to Taft, Andrew named practically every bu reau head In the treasury as having had trouble with MacVeagh. Andrew would make no comment on his resignation, except to make public his letters. Andrew was ex pert adviser to the Aldrich monetary commission and practically drew up the Aldrich central bank plan. This statement was issued at the White House: , "Mr. Andrew's resignation as as sistant secretary of the treasury was requested, submitted and accepted, in view of his failure to obey orders given him by the secretary of the treasury." MAYOR HAS TROUBLES. Klamath Falls Coiuicilihen Resignation of Police. Want .Klamath Falls, Ore. It now ap pears that the city council Is not in accord with Mayor T. F. Nicholas. When the mayor took office the iirst act of the council was to temporarily hold uiJiis police appointments. After some sparring the appoint ments were confirmed, but this did not end matters. The report soon became current that the confirmation was only temporary and that the en tire 'force would soon bo discharged Recently one of the conhcilnien, Her bert Savidge, It is said, went so far as to call on Chief of Police Joseph C. Smith and demand that his resig nation be handed in, but Smith re fused. It is said that other council men have asked Mayor Nicholas to discharge Smith and Patrolmen E. Sharpe and Frank Greenwood. Nieh olas has taken the stand that the men are doing their duty and that under no circumstanmes will he al low the council to dictate to him as to whom he shall name on the police force.

In introducing Mr. Brooks to the audi ence, President Billings stated that he had been trying for four years to secure Mr. Brooks for this Chautau qua. The reception given the speak er throughout the long program jus tified the confidence of Mr. Billings and Mr. Brooks will be welcome in Ashland another year. The program consisted of readings of poems of the speaker's own com position, interspersed with common sense doctrine and humorous philos ophy, all of which was delivered In Mr. Brooks' own style and kept the vast audience ' with him the entire time. Mr. Brooks Is an Impersonator of rare ability, giving numbers in dialect in a manner that captivated entire audience In "Dot Good J0'' Noddings Dog Mr. Brooks uroiiKiu Dili me iiiiuioiuus uuu pa thetic, making the audience feel with him the keenness of feeling In the old dog's master. "Pickett's Charge" brought out a round of applause. Mr. Brooks pre faced the reading of this masterful poem with the statement that he had endeavored to make the charge come toward one instead of going from him. This was borne out in the viv idness with which the charge was portrayed, the carnage of that battle being set forth by the reader both in ' text and interpretation. Mr. Brooks will appear again in a full program this afternoon. "Soldiers of the Common Good" will be the subject of the lecture this evening, given by Charles Edward Russell, the noted ' magazine writer and economist. The best of 'social ism will be presented In this lecture, and Mr, Russell has trad the experi ence in matters of the common peo ple that fits him admirably for the work. Every other' day Is full of good things worth several times the price of admission,' Including Juuge Sadler of Chicago and Byron's Trou badours. The W. C. T. U. program and the Grants Pass program have been interchanged, the former com ing Tuesday and the latter Wednesday. 15,000 PEOPLE CELEBRATE HERE (Continued from Page One.) city. Next came the Ashland com pany of coast artilierv. fnilnued closely by automobiles to the num-i ber of a score or more, decorated in variegated hues and designs, all of which called forth loud and pro longed applause from the crowds that lined the streets from the e:ist side school to Mechanic street. Then came a bunch of clowns on donkeys, followed by the fife and drum corps of the Grand Army and a squad of veterans. No section of the parade elicited- more comment or applause than these heroes of the nation's past. The Goddess of Liberty came next, appropriately following in the foot steps of the veterans. Statxlinz erect in the center of the float, a statue of perfect whiteness upon a setting of white, with the colors of Old Glory standing out at her ide In the form of a shield, Miss Ger trude Hic ks was an ideal personifica tion of the goddess, her nerfect mio exciting universal comment througn- oui me course. The human flair. made up of school children. w a most imposing representation of the stars and stripes. Girls dressed in blue formed the stars and others in red and white completed the fine In the form of stripes. Then came a dozen little girls with decorated doll buggies, followed closelv liv boys in their wagons aud the "young America" drum corps of four snare arums ana a bass and a profusion of mlscellaenous floats of every style and description. Gayly caparisoned horses, wa irons decked in greenery, flowers and the national colors, allegorical floats, floats serious and floats humorous, were in evidence. In fact, so lonu aud so varied was the line of these features that the vanguard was on its return before the rear had passed the Plaza. Close to a hundred indi vidual features appeared in the pa rade. , Too much attraction on the street interfered with the speech in the Chautauqua building, visitors prefer ring the noise and excitement of the races to the more sober entertain ment of a patriotic speech. Con gressman Reeder had an excellent address up his sleeve aud was pre- parea to give his hearers a profitable half hour, had they appeared. Auto races Exciting. The automobile races proved at tractive to the large crowd that lined the course for its entire length. W. J. Savlers carried off the honors In his reconstructed Rambler, winning every one of the four heats of the free-for-all as well as the 30-horse-power event. The race was for the best two out of three. A. J. Ed wards, driving a Ford, was the first contestant, losing the first heat by a wide margin. The second heat was closer and furnished much excite ment, Savlers winning by a few feet only. Keyes or Medford in a Chalm ers 30 was the next contender and met defeat in two successive heats, giving Savlers the first prize. Ed wards in the Ford captured second from Keyes. The same result was' recorded in the 30-horse race. The ardor was taken out of the motorcycle races by the unfortunate accident of the morning and by com mon consent the prize money was di vided among the three contestants. George Bassett won first prize in the bicycle race, Noble Goettel second and Jack Backman third. City Park Crowded. During the interval between the races of the morning and the after noon ball game, the park was crowd ed with a hungry throng with well filled market baskets. A string or hungry visitors filed up to the booth whence came the inicv inni-soia nf barbecued beef and the steam i n ir cof fee. Every shred of the hundreds of pounds of meat was consumed, and ine way tne cotfee disappeared proved conclusively that the barbecue booth was about the most popular place in the citv at that hour .--All available space in the grove was tak en ana far up the canyon shady nooks were monopolized, the beauty of Ashland's natural nnrk mwi nan. yon proving attractive to . several uiousana ot tne visitors, while along the streets others availed themselves of shade, wherever offered. Mnnv rested the greater part of the after noon in the park, preferring the quiet of this retreat to the clamor f tho ball game and wild west stunts. Ho tels and restaurants were crowded to their utmost capacity, reaping their share of the harvest from the throngs of visitors. Medford Wins Game. The ball game furnished much ex citement, being full of thrilling plays. It was the kind that delights the average crowd, being full of hits and errors enough to satisfy the thirst for heavy swats. Medford won the ganie in the second inning, when the visitors rapped in seven runs. Phillips started on the mound for Ashland, allowing Medford one run in the first inning. Then the fun began. In the second the first man up was fanned, the second was nu oy a pitcnea ban and the third hit safely. At this juncture Wick was substituted for Phillips and the visitors received him by lining out a home run right on the start, fol lowed by two two-baggers in succes sion. Before Wick settled down, seven runs had crossed the pan and the game was lost. Medford did not see another score until the eighth, when the visitors tallied two to make It safe. Ashland scored consistently in the second, third, fourth, fifth and ninth but could not overcome the lead and the game ended 8 to 10 In favor of Medford, 'Phillips played a sensa tional game In center field, captur ing everything that came near him, while Sayles was easily the star of the Infield. The work of the Ash land battery was of .a high order, Plymate handling the catcher's Job faultlessly and Wick being almost In vincible after the fatal second. Five buckaroos participated in the bucking contest, first and second honors going to Weiss and Calett, respectively. Callett was thrown, hi8 mount ' being the worst horse brought out. Francisco, Ward and Weble were aiso contestants. After the close of the contest, Weble, who is a professional, volunteered to ride the black that had thrown Calett bareback, and although he was thrown gave a good exhibition. The potato race on horsebackk was- won by Murray Murphy, Ray Mnrphy winning second and Ray ' Dennis third. This feature was a new one in Ashland and furnished much amusement. Swimming contests at the Natator ium in the evening aroused consider able interest and a large crowd wit nessed the events. The oand gave several fine selections. The balcony was well filled and every available space on the lower floor as well. .Messrs. Perozzi, McRae and.Corbett acted as judges. The events were the more interesting because of the clearness of the water, making it possible to see every move of the contestants. Two contests were ptiiled off, one for boys 'between the ages of 14 and 16 and the other for boys under 4. In the former event, Delbert Hawley won first and F. Decker second. In the latter the prizes went to Shelborn, first; "Tuf ty" King, second; King, third; Sut ton, fourth. s Many visitors availed ' themselves of the opportunity offered by .the tub and shower baths as well as the plunge. The institution was well patronized during the evening. Hull a Success. - The big dance in the Natatorium in the evening was well attended. The hall was tastily decorated with natural flowers and colors and Pe dersen's orchestra furnished some of the best music ever given at a like event. A neat profit was realized from the event.
