CHAUTAUQUA OPENS NEXT MONDAY NIGHT j Much Interest Being Taken in the Excellent Program For Five Days. . j The Chautauqua will open in the ! big ten on the primary school ! [grounds next Monday night with a concert by the Greenfield Orchestra Quartet, to be followed by a lecture "The Science Story" by U. B. Am brose. the electrical wizard. The quartet has made a big hit every where it has appeared, and Mr. Ambrose is the talk of the town everywhere he goes. Each member bf the Greenfield Or-; chcstral Quartet, notable Chaujtau- ] qua feature, is an artist of outstaml- | ing individual attainments, while ten ! years of playing together have pro- i ducetl a perfection of ensemble play- i ing rarely attained. Max Greenfield, violinist, saxo- j phonist and manager, has been asso- ; cut ted with the orchestra of the Chi cago Civic Opera Company, and with the St- Paul Symphony Orcestra. Edith Greenfield, violinist, has ap- j peared extensively in rocital and concert, notably in New York and Chicago, and has scored distinctive ; successes always. Mo’.lie Greenfield, pianist has also ! a goodly number of New York and j Chicago appearances to her credit in i the course of many recitals and con cert engagements the country over. | She has been soloist with he Chicago! Philharmonic Orchestra. 1. Greenfield, clarinetist, saxopho- i nist and bass viol artist, ha.-*. like! the other members of the quartet, an exceptionally suecessfull record of api>earance«. With first-rank artistry the quar tet present classical and semi-clas sical ensemble selections, varying with popular numbers. ‘‘The Science Story,*' is as thrill ing as an tvwimi ul limgrC. ThectHciy is Mr. Ambrose’s subject, and he holds his audiences spellbound with his astounding demonstrations. Mr. Ambrose carries with him a remarkable collection of electrical instruments and devices. With these instruments he produces many al most magical effects.—He does not rely on trickery, blit makes applica tion of little known physical anil electrical laws that lend themselves well to interesting demonstrations. Among the feats he performs- is the welding of nails by electricity, permitting the current to pass through his body. He holds two carbons in his hands to form an arch light. A cannon is fired and a flag sent up the flag pole by use of rays from an ordinary flashlight. Yet. during all his elusive and puzzling exhibitions, Mr. Ambrose explains each step clearly and con cisely and shows how each is based in scientific facts and reasons. CHILD WAGE EARNERS BECOMING PROBLEM William Green Says Wages of Child ren Greater Menace Titan Prod ucts of Prisoners. « Atlantic City, N. .T.. May 27.— UP) — The competing products of 2.000,000 j child wage earners form a much great er menace to adult workers than to those of 20,000 convicts. Win. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, today told the general Fed eration of Women's Clubs. States which voted for the prohibi tion, income tax and woman .suffrage amendments, he remarked, have voted against the Federal child labor pro posals. He held it was ridiculous to coutend that the proposed child labor amendment would prohibit a girl from helping her mother to do bouse work, or a boy from assisting his father in farm work. “While employer’s associations and chambers of commerce strange to say, are fighting the Federal legislation which will take children out of the workshops and factories, they are at the same time fighting against the sale of prisonunade good* on the open market,” he said.

No case has come before the Su preme Court in recent months around which more interest has been cen tered than the appeal of the Newton road case, in w'hich it was ruled by Judge .T. L. "Webb that the State highway department must build the link of highway No. lft so that it would pass by the “court house door” in Newton, instead of t'iirough the northern limits of the city, as the highway department had surveyed it. The construction of this portion of the road is settled by the Supreme Court. “Tiie thing that Newton people and people in the section are most interested in now is the completion of the highway, and not so much the route it shall take through said Assistant Attorney General Ross in discussing tiie case. "We cannot help but feel that the-Supreme Court will look at the case from the stand point of the State highway depart ment. because of the serious precedent involved. We are hoping for an early decision.” PASSENGER PLANE IS FORCED TO HALT TRIP Broken Water Connection Forced Capt. Roscoe Turner to Seek Land ing at Abbeville, S. C.

PRIMARY LAW FORBIDS SPLITTING OF TICKETS A Voter Cannot Be Beth a Republi ean and a Democrat. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 27. —The State pri mary law expressly forbids the “split ting” of tickets in the primary, ac cording to Assistant Attorney Gen eral Frank Nash in an opinion pre pared at the request of R. C. Max well, secretary of the State board of elections. % "No Democrat has a right to vote for any particular candidate on the Republican side of the ticket, nor can a Republican vote for any one on the Democratic side of the ticket,” said Mr. Nash in his opinion. The ticket must be voted straight, either Demo cratic or eßpublican. The burden of proof 4 is put squarely upon the registrars anil judges by Mr. Nash, who says that frauds upon the pri mary act can “be prevented absolute ly by them.” “So many inquiries have to come to this office as to t’ae right of Re publicans to vote the Democratic ticket that we deem it wise to re state what is contemplated by the statute in this regard,” says Mr. Nash in his statement. “The gen eral purpose of the state-wide primary act is to provide a method by which each of the greater political parties us the state may select its candidates. “The tickets voted in the primary are required to be headed by the name of the political party whose ballot it is. Consequently, as the statute is written, omitting exceptions, there are generally two ballots to be voted. One the Democratic party ballot and the other the Republican party bal lot. “When an elector offers himself and expresses the desire to vote in a primary held under this article, he shall declare the political party with which he has declared himself to be a member, but any one may at any time any elector proposes to vote challenge his right to vote in the pri mary of any party upon the ground that he does not affiliate with such party,” the opinion continues, in which other opinions are cited.
