of the International Sunday School as
sociation and first vice president of the

W. Pennlman, all of whom are In

time and money to Sunday school
work, maintaining a separate office
from his business establishment. He
Is president of the Modern Prlsollla
Publishing company. For several years
he has devoted most of his time to
traveling about the country In the In
terest of Sunday school work.
The principal object of Mr. Harts
horn's visit to tho west In to Join
Marlon Lawrence of Chicago, general
secretary of the International asso
ciation and genera] secretary for Amer
ica of the World's asoclatlon. In a tour
of California in the interest of the
Triennial International Sunday school
convention, which will bo held in San
Francisco June 20 to 27, 19.11, and which
will be attended by 2000 delegates and
hundreds of visitors, representing every
state und territory on the American
continent
MEKTS LOCAIi MINISTERS
Mr. Hartshorn attended the monthly
meeting olf the Baptist ministers Mon
day and later addressed the Congre
gational ministers.
The Hartshorn party, with Mr. Law
rence, will leave Los Angeles Novem
ber 10, and on its tour of the state
will visit tho state convention at Santa
Ana. Stockton, San Joho, Santa Cruz,
Napa, Alameda, San Francisco, Santa
Rosa and Sacramento. The party will
return to Chicago via Ogdon, attendl
ing the Utah state Sunday school con
vention en route.
Mr. Hartshorn was greatly im
pressed with Los Angeles yesterday
and astounded at the big growth of
the city.
"I was here twenty years ago and
find many wonderful changes," he
said. "This is a country of even great
er possibilities and attainments. There
Ik an atmosphere of culture and re
finement here.
"The International Sunday School
association rejoices in the prospect of
meeting in California next year. It
Is the first time in the thirty-nine
years of tho history of the association
that a convention has been held west
of the Rocky mountains. This con
vention will bring several thousand vis
itors to the coast, representing tho
sixty-five state, provincial and terri
torial associations that make up the
International body.
"Already plans are being laid for
special trains from various points. We
expect to have a tralnload from New
England and in Alabama the other
day I found the greatest enthusiasm
In getting up a big delegation from
that state. We believe the convention
will be the biggest and beat ever held
by the association.
TO CONSIDER CONVENTION
"During this tour we will consider
■with the California leaders many mat
ters relating to the convention and Its
program.
"The International Sunday School
association Is the central or represen
tative body of the organized Sunday
school work In North America. We
recognize that the Sunday school is
not only the bible study courso of the
church but that It Is the first force
and the most productive asset In the
church today.
"The modern development of the
Sunday school idea, known a<s the or
ganized work, Is a far cry from the
crude beginnings made, by Robert
Ralkes and his 'ragged regiment' Jn
Gloucester, England, in 1780.
' • "The organized work embraces an
extensive series of voluntary Sunday
B<hool work, promoted by teachers and
other workers belonging to various
churches. These bodies have for their
purpose the promotion of those Inter
ests which are common to the Sunday
school work. They range from the
small and local organizations that are
made up of a few persona of kindred
sympathies, spirits or purpose, up to
those that cover towns, cities, counties
and states.
"These organizations aro practically
Interdenominational and co-operative.
Sunday school work has been Im
measurably advanced by the associa
tion during the thirty-nine years of its
history. It is sustained by American
and Canadian Sunday school workers."

VERDI'S SPECTACULAR
'AIDA' SCORES TRIUMPH
Bevani Company Shows It Can
Meet Stage Effects as Well
as the Musical Side
FLORENCE BOSARD LAWRENCE
"Alda," with Us brilliant spectacle,
Its pageantry and cymbala, occupied
the Auditorium stage last night, and
Its barbaric brilliance of scenic color
and Its beautiful melodies fraught
with the same quality of oriental
splendor captivated a large audience.
Verdi's operas are ever popular with
local audiences, and while the more
familiar "Trovatore" and "Rlgolett*"
find frequent hearing, the later work
by this master melodist finds less fre
quent presentation because of the
heavy demands it makes for scenery,
costumes and singers.
The Bevanl company has already
proved its strength In the musical side
of its endeavors. It remained for last
night's performance to show that It
could meet the other requirements as
well.
This company is indeed fortunate in
the possession of singers so widely
varied in accomplishments that roles
may be almost always cast to excel
lent advantage. In singing Alda Mad
amo Anna Frery found magnificent
outlet for her voice. In which passion
and fervor find equal expression.
Margaret Jarman as Amneria was
indeed regal In her appearance. In
bearing, feature, stateliness and cos
tuming she portrayed the role admir
ably. Her voice is commensurate
with the other qualities which she
brings to this part, and the votive of
ferings of flowers and applause were
entirely Justified by her work.
The beautiful aria, "Celeste Aida,"
hackneyed though it may be, was
given with a perfect combination of
vocal and dramatic power by Battaln,
who played Prince Radames with the
sustained emotional requirements so
essential to the role. Bevanl was a
splendid Rammfls, acting his part with
dignity and singing In specially good
voice. •
Ettore Campana completed an e
ceptlonally dramatic cast, and In tho
scene where he urges Alda and her
lover to return to his own country
his spirit was splendid.
Helen Newcombe as the High Priest
ess, Guilani as a messenger and Jo
seph Florian as the king were all ad
mirable in their parts.
The tableau of the close of act two
was vivid with color and vibrant with
emotion. Not one person In the cast
but rose to the full requirements of
this situation, and the curtain rose
and fell and rose again and again,
while tumults of applause called forth
each singer, and finally brought upon
the stage tho confused and evidently
unwilling conductor, Roberto Francini.
Credit for this big act so well sung In
Justice belonged to the conductor, and
these singers impulsively demanded
that he sharo in acknowledging it.
Following Is the cast for "Martha"
this afternoon:
Lady Harrietts, Oludltta Francini; Nancy,
Kdmeo do Dreux; Sir Trlsan. Joseph Flor
ian: The Sheriff, William Lyoni; Plunkett,
ArlilllH Albertl; Lionel, Umberto Bacchottt.
Conductor, Roberto Francini.
The ''Faust" cast for this evening
follows:
Marguerite, Anna Frery; Slbel. Margaret
Jnrman; Martha, I.ucy Van der Mark; Wag
ner, Joseph Florian; Valentine, Ettore Cam
jiatia; Mephlstophelcs. Alexander XTovina;
Kaoat, Kugenlo Battaln.
MOB HANGS TWO NEGROES,
THEN SHOOTS AT BODIES
Citizens Hear Shots in Swamp
and Then Find Bodies
MONTEZUMA, Ga., Nov. B.—Two
negroes, instead of one, as first re
ported, were hanged from a telegraph
pole last night in Flint river swamps,
less than a nolle from the center of
the city.
William Barnes and John Walkor
were both held for the murder of Night
Policeman Bush of Montezuma. Wal
ker was forcibly taken from the jail
at Oglothorpe by a mob.
Citizens here heard a number of
pistol shots last night, and investigat
ing found the body of Barnes dangling
from a telegraph pole and riddled with
bullets. At midnight more pistol shots
were heard, and this morning the body
of Walker was seen hanging from .the
same polo.
TWO CAUGHT PRINTING PAY
CHECKS OF THE C, B. & Q.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. B.—While in
the act of printing Chicago, Burlington
& Quiney pay checks at an engraving
plant in this city H. , Reckmyer, a
printer, and Elmer Peterson, aged 17
years, were arrested here last night.
Neither was employed at the plant,
but they had made friends with the
regular employes and had innocently
bc< n allowed to use the material. They
had printed about 200 copies of the pay
checks used by the railroad when the
.officers swooped down on them.

Club News
Members of tho Woman's Press club
studied the "short story" yesterday
afternoon at their shop talk meeting
at the woman's clubhouse. The story
selected for critical analysis was "Dad,
published in a recant issue of the Sun
set magazine and written by Mabel
Nelson Thurston. Mrs. Georgina Town
send contributed a well written paper
discussing the story from the readers
standpoint and Mrs. Lillian Collins
presented the subject from the writers
side. Both articles were full of good
suggestions and will undoubtedly fur
nish help to those less experienced
writers whose work is still not so eas
ily marketed. ' __
Following the papers Miss Rose El
lerbe conducted the question box, «hich
is rapidly becoming one of the most
Interesting features of this meeting,
allowing," and, in fact, eliciting, as It
does, much discussion from members
all about the room. '
A short business meeting served to
elect Mrs. Lillian Collins to the posi
tion of recording secretary, vice Mrs.
Emma Reed, whose resignation as sec
retary was followed by her appoint
ment to this treasureship, she taking
the place of Ml*. A. A. Stowe, resigned
because of illness. -
The next meeting of the Press club
will be held at the Woman's clubhouse
November 22 and Purd B. Wright, city
librarian, will be the speaker. A social
hour will follow this affair and mem
bers will have guest privileges.
Miss Ellerbe, in chargo of the shop
talk meetings, has arranged that the
meeting in December shall be upon
the preparation and placing of a book
manuscript. Clara ; Shortrldge Foltz
will give a talk on "Contracts" at this
meeting, offering many suggestions
which will be of value in arranging

WILL BENEFIT CHICAGO
Roads and Shippers Enter Agree
ment Which Gives City
Trade Advantages
CHICAGO, Nov. B.—New switching
rules which will give Chicago ship
pers benefits greater than those en
joyed in any other city in the coun
try will be put Into'effect In the Chi
cago switching territory, In all prob
ability in the near future.
An agreoment between representa
tives of the principal roads In the dis
trict and association of shippers, which
provides for the absorption of all con
necting line switching charge of tha
roads and a uniform charge through
out the district for industrial switch
ing, is soon to be taken before the
Illinois Railroad and Warehouse com
mission for adoption.
The agreement follows two years of
negotiating between the roads and the
shippers, and is one of the very few
instances where the two interests have
gotten together in settling a difference.
A bulletin to members issued by the
Illinois Manufacturing association,
says: "It is tho hope and expectation
that the agreement will mark a new
era of relations between shippers and
railroads."
The central idea of the agreement
Is "Chicago rates for Chicago; that 13,
the rate includes delivery within the
Chicago switching district."
