Dr- Alma Webster Powell Lectnret
on Subjeot at the UniyenUty
of Omaha,
SHOUUD BE SCIENCE, NOT ABT
A pl for national free MhooU ef
music, gucti m are maintained la Euro
pean countries, was mads by Iri Aim
Webster Powell of New York City, at the
University of Omaha Saturday evening.
Besides bearing an imposing list of de
grees. Including- that of UaB M. B A.
M. and Ph. D.. Dr. PowaU U a ingw of
note, having appeared In eoocart In
European cities and with the Metropol
ttan and Pamrosch companies In New
York City.
lr. Powell haa lomi decidedly new
Ideas along the line of musical study.
"Music should he studied ai a science
like physic. It should be taken out of
the fine art", where It la being- negleoted.
It should be placed on a different plane
so that nrn would not be ashamed to
study music, thinking It effeminate.
"Music Is a human need. People must
have It-thej- can t live, get married or
.lie without It. it haa a great curative
effect, too." Tn this connection Pr. Powell
advances hr theories In "toneiirology,"
a new study In music.
"My Idea, is to bring music hack to
the common people, of whom It Is a
Jiroduct. All the great composers and
musicians have risen from the common
people, yet today they are unable to re
ceive musical instruction because of lack
of funds and are unable to attend musi
cal affairs, onoraa, etc., because of pro
hibitive price.
Speaks In Colleges.
"All this year, I have been touring
the country speaking In many universi
ties nl appealing to the intellectual
r-.llc. Next year, I shall tour the,
country speaking to the laboring classes
ami the inhor unions, showing them
what they should hav- Then I shall
go before congress with my plan.
"Today one can secure no doctor's de
gtec In music Music is looked upon
only as an amusement. I asked to have
music- introduced In the political science
department of the Vilumbla university
and they laughed at me. Yet music,
l.ss a greater effect on the masses than
any other known agent. Music quells
violence. It takes the fight out of one.
Musli- i.o's not give courage. It gives i
what f.aahes fir cntirageenthualnm." '
l'uv;-s tree Concerts.
I'r. Powell thought that music would !
lia.i' th" pu. ir hi ;i;o.m t'r. - pnlesniHt-li-nlly
InrUiiHil (lor man ami Biitl.-h Hol
ders, but salrl thril music would have
the opposite effect on the Fciu-h, for
instance, a hiKh-emitlun people
Dr. I'owll would rather the fideral
Rovornmn'.t establish the free schools
liei-HUhe, she nM, the state government
was too close to the taxpa.ver.i and
would therefore ho lens likely t sup
port. lr. Powell also advocates free
symphony concerts every afternoon for
two hours as In some continental cities.
Cost of Matters'

to tho Government
It cost the. giwwrnment about H.OflO to

CEMENT MEN MAKE PROTEST
Urge that City Make an Effort to
Retain Auditorium for Conven
tion Purposes.
MEET HERE AGAIN NEXT YEAR
That It Is necessary for the people of
Omaha to save the Auditorium for con
vention purposes for the scores of asso
ciations that annually hold big conven
tions In Omaha, Is pointed out In a reso
lution adopted by the directors of ths
Mid-West Cement Users association. The
cement men have held very successful
cement shows In the Auditorium for sev
eral years, snd this year they organised
an exhibitors' association, pledging them
selves to use their best effort to make
the eement show In Omaha In the future
the one great eement show of the United
States.
Following this decision th exhibitor
began at once to contract for booth space
In ths Auditorium for the show next
year, which Is set for ths week begin
ning February 28. The directors, on learn
ing that the Auditorium I In danger of
being sold under foreclosure and that this
might mean It would be sold to person
who would put It to other uses than as
a convention hall or place for holding
such events as the oement show snd
similar events, declared In their resolu
tion that the loss of this building would
mean the abandonment of the cement ex
hibit next year.
The resolution closed with the follow
In: Resolved, That we respectfully urge
upon the people of Omaha the necessity
of saving this building, not only for our
use In the future, but for the use of
many other similar organisations and
enterprises which will become Impossible
In Omaha If this building Is diverted to
other uses.
Hart lee Skating;.
Skating Is another thing that the ma tor
league managers may put under the ban.
Pitcher Jim Shaw of the Washington team
sprained an ankle so badly gliding over
the lee that he will be handicapped
through the greater part of the training
season.
Paral Looks to
His Uncle for Help
in Murder Trial
The Mexlran Insurrecto leader. Fran
cisco Paral. a member of the staff of
General Carransa. and uncle of Juan
Paral, has been asked by letter to come
to the assistance of the alleged murderer
of Detective Thomas Ring, former Dis
trict Judge 8utton. who Is defending the
Mexican. Informed District Judge Eng
lish when Paral was srralg-ned. Nothing
haa been heard of the uncle for six
months, and If he has been killed In bat
tle It may be a serious blow to the de
fense. Paral pleaded not guilty to charges of
murdering Detective Ring and of break
Ing and entering a Rurllngton boxcar.
Re apeak no Rngllsh and his plea Is
mads by his attorney.
According to Mr. Button, Paral has been
tn the United States only a few months,
and no witnesses can be found in this
eonntry who can testify that he la of
good character, lie declares that his
dead partner, Qonsales, shot Ring, and
that he was under the Influence of Oon
ales. The prosecution has no evidence
that Paral did the shooting, Mr. Button
declared.
Paral ha done guard service for the
Insurrecto cause in Mexico, according to
h's story, but left the country to avoid
serving as a soldier.
OMAHA SOCIALISTS NAME
TICKET FOR COMMISSIONERS
The Omaha socialist parry announces
the following seven men as candidates
for the city commission: Jacob Kopp, B.
I. Morrow, Teter Mehrsns, T. Jorgenson,
J. N. Carter, Dr. A. A. Holtman, Max
Kirsohbaum.
In aooordnnce with the custom of tne
socialist party, these candidates have
signed their resignations, "which are tn
be acrepted In case they do not carry out
the will of the party," an announcement
reads.
Nine Years a Chronic Invalid.
Pegg Withdraws His
Charges of Selling
Short Weight Bread
Complaints charging Julius Dreyfus,
Twentieth and Farnatn streets; K. Ros
onblum, PC North f-'lxteenth street, and
. J. Batt. 604 North Sixteenth street, with
celling short weight "Holsum" bread,
the product of the Jay Burns Baking
company, were dismissed Saturday
morning. - !
City Prosecutor Fred Anheuser and
John Grant Pegg, weight and measure
ir.srertcr, who filed the charges,' can
celed the complaint owing to the fact
that Police Magistrate Foster Is ex
pected to return to his duties Monday
morning. Foster held ths ordinance un
icoiistitutiinaj, under which the com
plaints were filed, so the prosecution
has decided to file charges Id a justice
court,
, Although the hearing of the above
merchants was set for today and would
"have been judged by acting Police Mag
istrate C. W. Britt, thu prosecution was
confident that one day would not suf
fice to bring the affair to a conclusion.
Pred Pleuler Held
for Mental Inquiry
Reduction by one of the number of
candidates In the race for the city com
mission may result from the filing of In
sanity charges against Fred W. Pleuler,
131 Stanford Circle, the fourth man to
file In the election commissioner's office.
His aunt, Mrs. Henrlotta Brandea, signed
the complaint and Pleuler was taken Into
custody.
Pleuler had made extensive prepara
tion to compete In the commlsslonahlp
race. Including th ordering of a large
amount of campaign literature. The fact
that a man enters a political race In
which he Is competing against more than
100 aspirants to office does not constitute
prime facie evidence of Insanity, accord
ing to Robert Smith, Insanity commis
sioner, and himself a candidate for office
of accomplishments.
''Candidacy for office, In my opinion,
la by no means proof of Insanity," de
clared Mr. Smith, "and no consideration
will be given Mr. Pleuler' political as
pirations at his hearing."
"Should Mr. Pleuler be adjudged Insane
his name would not be placed on the
ballot," said Election Commissioner Moor
head. In the absence of such official action,
no candidate will be considered craxler
than the others," said the commissioner.

I could eat nothing but bread and boiled milk. Then I
tried doctor's medicine, and finally said I wasn't going to take any more medicine. I finally read of Peruna,
and before I had taken the second bottle I felt stronger, and commenced to do my work as usual. I was so run
down that it took a long time to effect a cure. When I began taking Peruna I only weighed 110 pounds; now
I weigh 127 pounds and do all kinds of work, as I am a farmer's wife. My head feels so clear, and my appe
tite is good. I will be always thankful for the good Peruna baa done for me. I am thirty years old now and
feel better than I did at twenty. My case was catarrh of the stomach and systemic catarrh."
