ARTISTS VISITING
SWISS DURING WAR
BERNE, Switzerland, June 18. —Swit-
zerland has been enjoying six months
of veritable music and art, a riot fur
nished by the experts, the ultra favor
ite and ultra accomplished artists and
organizations of all the surrounding
countries. The Baris Symphonic Or
chestra has been succeeded by the
Court Opera placers from Vienna, and
they by Arthur Nikisch, while he in
turn has given way to the Cemedie
Francaise. There has scarcely been a
week when some noted musical or
theatrical organization has not been
touring the country.
They have been well, even enthus
iastically received. Large audiences
invariably greeted them —and always
they have had to pay big prices—for
Switzerland. Nikisch had to stand and
bow almost continuously for a quarter
-of an hour before his audience would
let him leave the stage, and when he
did retire it was to frantic shouts of
"Auf Wiedersehn” and ‘‘Au Revoir.”
The action of Norway, however, in
refusing to sanction Nikisch’s concert
trip there brought to the surface the
disgruntled complaints of a not incon
siderable portion of the Swiss publi
which has not welcomed the strangers
■ here, but has seen them come with -i
■ great deal of bitterness. Their opposi-'
tion is two fold. These critics feel that
’ the real purpose of this sudden and
absolutely unprecedented influx of for ■
■ eign talent is subtly to create senti-
• | ment in favor of one side of the other
1 in the present conflict.
They object also to the implied pat
ronage of the artistic visits. “These
people never saw fit to come to us in
‘ipeace times,” is the way one objector
recently expressed it. “In those day-,
• they never deigned to look at Switzer
land. If they could induce us to come
to France or Germany or Austria and
5 , pay good money to hear or see them.
" j well and good. But we didn’t exist as
t far as they were concerned until the
(war.”
| In addition to these objections, the
’ Swiss in many instances, claim that
they are really being defrauded by the
visiting artists who bring only par
tially complete orchestras or compan
ies, filled with substitutes and under
studies, all of whom, however, are in
\tent on obtaining all the money possi-;
• ble.
Hence the action of Norway was
(greeted in certain circles, as an indi-j
t cation that Norway had displayed bet
’ ter common sense and above all more
moral courage than Switzerland.

IFATJL ACCIDENT
occiim suioff
ATLANTA, Ga., June 18. —The four
■ year-old son of Mrs. Minnie Turner
was instantly killed, Mrs. Turner
died two hours afterward and four oth
ers were injured, one probably fatally,
when Central of Georgia passenger
train No. 12, en route to Macon, crashed
into an automobile containing a party
o’ six people at a crossing near the
depot at Jonesboro, about 4:30 o’clock
Sunday afternoon.
The injured are Miss Grace Dorsett,
Miss Cora Denham. Ursle Denham and
J. D. Adams, all of Fayette county,
near Fayetteville. Miss Dorsett was
taken to the Atlanta hospital still un
conscious. Miss Denham's injuries
were also serious, but the two men of
the party sustained only bad bruises.
Mrs. Turners’ little son was killed in
stantly. The mother sustained broken
bones and internal injuries from which
she died about 7 o’clock. The auto
mobile was completely demolished. J.
11) Adams was at the wheel of the au
tomobile when the crash occurred. Miss
Grace Dorsett also sustained broken
bones and internal injuries.
The party had been to the home of
J. H. Jackson, Mrs. Turner’s father,
near Jonesboro, to attend a birthday
party held in his honor. They were re
turning to Fayetteville in the auto
mobile of J. D. Adams and had reached
the Central crossing just above the
depot when the train suddenly rounded
a sharp curve. The automobile was
struck broadside by the speeding en
gine and was completely demolished.
One member of the party was thrown
fifty feet away from the railroad tracks,
and bits of wreckage of the car were
picked up even farther away. En
gineer Lavender and Conductor Pickett
were in charge of the train.
Following the wreck members of the
party were rushed into the houses of
residents in the vicinity and medical
assistance was brought in automobiles
The little boy was found to be beyond
assistance and his mother was fatelly
injured. The other members of the
party are expected to recover.
NEGRO CHARGED WITH
IIOLRTING “OBI” LAW
Luke Milner, a negro living near
Americus, was arrested by Sheriff Lu
cius Harvey Saturday night on a
charge of operating a ‘‘blind tiger.”
Quite a quantity of "40-rod” was
discovered in the house occupied by the
negro, as well as a good supply of
corncob bottlestoppers and whiskey
glasses, which bore evidence of re
cent use.
Milner was admitted to bond of sl,-
500 on three charges of violating the
prohibition law and was released from
custody this morning.
PREMIER BOSELLI WORKS
LONG HOURS EVERY DAY
ROME, June 18. —Premier Paolo Bo
selli is regarded as a good example of
the way the war has speeded up the]
working powers of men, even in Italy's (
sub-tropical climate. Senor Boselli,
despite his nearly four score years, be
gins work at six o’clock in the morn- .
ing, three hours before the arrival of >
the regular clerks, and he quits work
when he is done, usually between six,
and seven o’clock in the evening. If,
parliament is sitting he generally is,
found there until the close of the ses- ,
sion, about eight o’clock, his ready wit j
and unfailing good humor making his
| presence necessary to prevent too vio
lent attacks on the government.
His early morning hours frequently
are occupied by conferences with For
eign Minister Sonnlno, who only sixty
eight years old, also is a very early ,
riser and a hard worker. During any j
temporary absence of Secretary of the
Treasury Carcano, Premier Boselli at
tends to that department. Senor Bos- (
elli is very short and thin, bald and
wears white whiskers and spectacles. 1
When asked how he managed to do
so much work, he said: ‘‘l figure if I
get started early’. I’ll just have to keep
going.” 1

HUGE TURTLE IN CREEK
