WEIL RECEIVED Music Lovers Throughout Valley Come to Hear Musicians S U NDAY Music lovers from various points in the valley came to Sa lem Tuesday night to attend the concert of the Salem Symphony orchestra In the armory, and many lingered after the program was over to congratulate the con ductor. Dr. John R. Sites and the personnel of the organization for the splendid way in which the dif ftcult numbers were executed. A large audience of loeal folk also listened to the concert, and they also expressed their unbounded appreciation. Beethoven, Godard, Nascagnl. Gounod and Wagner were some of the instrumental creators drawn upon for interpretation, and the list was finely balanced. The Beethoven Symphony, a big. number, seldom attempted by an orchestra, received a careful ren dition in accordance with its im portance. Prolonged applause at its culmination attested to the de gree of perfection with which It had been given. The audience liked Immensely the First Indian Suite by Ruthyn Turney, director of music at Che ma wa, for the most part, being surprised that so gifted a com poser resided In this section. Mr. Turney, who Is a very modest and retiring character, was with dif ficulty persuaded to appear at the front of the stage to receive the acclaim of the admirers of the number. Thtere were, numerous high lights on the program among them the intermezzo from Caval leria Rusticana; the Funeral March of a Marionette, with its unusual rythem, and March from the opera, Tannhaeuser. Encores were responded to, the audience being asked to Join in singing the "Star Spangled Banner," as a fi nal number the orchestra playing an accompaniment. Taken as a whole, much im provement was nted In the work of the orchestra, which hereto fore, had acquitted itself splen-1 didly, and Dr. Sites was once more an ideal conductor, who at all times kept his musical forces well under" control. against the then Miss Clara Bar ton Smith.

Oh. it I only had. said fche. I might have bad him and these children might have had their father." Mis. Hamon spoke in bitter terms of Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon referring to her as a "vampire" who reneatedly had refused to consider Mr. Hamon's expressed wishes to end their association. Mrs. Hamon said that on one visit to the rooms in a local hotel occupied by Mr. Hamon and Clara Smith she had gazed In amaze ment upon the fine clothes there and that xhe had taken away a pistol she found on Clara's dresser.

March Continued business depre-slon tn Europe, except Italy, was reported by American consuls in the monthly cable survey of world economic conditions Issued today by the department of commerce. Signs of improvement were seen In the Far East but Httl-j change was noted in the South American countries. Both exports and Im ports are decreasing In Great Britain, with increasing unem ployment. Payment of heavy tax es was regarded as a caust of the tightness in the- money market and English banks were said to have loaned two-thirds of their re sources to private enterprises. Recent price declines and busi ness stagnation In France, accord ing to the survey, have tended to strain the credit o' banks. A li quidation of tho government owned French merchant fleet, ag gregating one million rros tons Is beiug urged.
