E SEVENTH SEASON IS JEGllMSPIClUSLY BYTHEAPOttOClUB -Opening the seventh season the Salem Apollo club 'sang to one of the largest audiences of its history last night. The New York string quartet was the special feature and received a great ovation, from the audience. This is the first time that cham ber music has been used for the special ' numbers with the ' Apollo club, and it was evidently a most pleasing variation, judging from the reception given the organiza lion.by those in attendance. From the big numbers, like the finale from the Quartet in D Ma jor (Hadyn) to the lilting, haunt ing melodies and fblk songs. the quartet slipped as easily and ca pably as it would seem possible for sucp. an organization to do. v ' The club has as large a mem bership as ever took part in a con cert before, i, and each . season as each concert would seem to bring added power and strength to the organisation.'

HIS PUN RULE Premier Rides Roughly Over Opposition Among Deputies. PARIS, Nov. 13. (By the As sociated Press) Premier Poin- care, riding rough shod over all opposition, scored a signal victory at the reopening of the French chamber today. He succeeded in placing the discussion of the sup plementary credits of the -1924 budget at the top of the order of .the day and absolutely refused to discuss interpellations, except on one day each week, which means in effect, indefinite postponement as . interpellations , probably will average one for each sitting and therefore only four Or five could be disposed of before the Decem ber recess. M; P-oincare's uncompromising attitude, however, caused crystal lization of all, the opposition groups, the radicals, Clemenceau adherents. Socialists . and , Com munists, lead by-Herrioc; Tardieu, Blum and Cachln voting; solidly against the government for the largest minority on a question of confidence since the Ruhr occu pation. The premier made his request that Friday of each week be set aside for discussion of the inter pellations, numbering 40, a ques tion of confidence involving re sponsibility of the government and he was supported by the chamber by a vote of 379 to 165. M. Herriot led the charge against the government, insisting that discussion of the amnesty bill be taken up immediately, but M. Poincare steadfastly refused, demanding-that the order of the day as elaborated by the government I be left undisturbed. ., . R. D. Barton, a member of the chorus, sang the incidental solo In "Land Sighting." The song, "Good Bye," by the chorus, was one of the numbers most appreci ated by the audience and showed the fine color tones of which the orga nization is capable. , Owing to the .'great length , of the program the quartet left out several numbers that were on the list. After each group the men responded with encored and were called back for a second encore at the close of their program. . After the first group they sang "Drink tojne Only With Thine Eyes," and after the second ; group, "Orien tale," by Cesar Cui and arranged for; the quartet by Ludvik Schwab, a member of the group. "Saltarella" (Greig) closed the quartet's part of the program and the members responded with the southern melody, "Old Black Joe," and later played "Anta Cantabile? (Pochon). The chorus sang several encores which were in some cases old fa vorites of the audiences which have heard the club sing before. "The Old-Road" was one of these. The last group sung by the club in cluded Wake. Miss Lindy," "Mar chetta" and "With You Dear." and the chorus responded with tn encore. - The members of the New York string quartet are Ottokar Cadek, first violin; Jaroslav Siskovsky. second violin; Ludvik Schwab, vi ola and Bedrlch Vaska, cello. : ' MIES SILVER!!
