But they give the public really ood music for its money, and are not paid to move away. Most of these artists come from Belgium. Usually they push around a plano on wheels, either to be played in solo or to accompany voices or the violin.

Melbourne, Australia, April 14.— The character and jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission of the United States, and decisions by American courts relating to inter- state trade have figured to a consid- erable extent in an important case which has just been taken under ad- visement by the high court of the commonwealth involving the federal constitution and the functions of the Australian Interstate Commerce Com- mission, which is modelled atter the American commission. The action is one of injunction against the state of New South Wales ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which, at the instance of the com- monwealth government, interfered with the operation of a recently passed law of the state known as the wheat acquisition act. Under the act the state govern- ment had seized wheat supplies to prevent speculation and had prohib- ited wheat shipments to other states. After a hearing the commission, which is three in number, decided by two to one that the act was an in- fringement of a clause of the com- monwealth constitution which pro- vides that trade between the states shall be free. The state appealed to the high court which is the highest judicial body in the commonwealth and is reversible only by the British privy council and this brought up the co-related questions of the commis- sion’s powers and interstate trade in Australia. The full bench of the high court headed by Chief Justice Grif- fiths heard the arguments. The ref- erences to American courts were made chiefly by H. E. Starke of counsel for the commonwealth. tached to a reserve army corps. In EXPOSITION AT SAN DIEGO LARGELY ATTENDED San Diego, Cal., April 14.—The San Diego Exposition has passed its third month with the best profit shown to date, and has broken all records in exposition history by paying expenses with a good mar- gin of profit so early in the year. The success at the gates is attribut- ed in great measure to the fact that the low railway rates from eastern points went into effect on March 1 and immediately released an enor- mous touring population that re- tused to travel in the first two months oi the year. With the financial success of the fair now assured, as the bulk of the eastern tourist business is not yet under way, the exposition is plan- ning numerous special events which were delayed in execution until the visiting crowds should warrant the expenditure. The first considerable addition is in the realm of musle, starting with the presentation of Haydn's “Creation” on Easter Sun- day, and continuing with the en- gazement of Creator's band for the last week of April and the first week of May. This will be followed im- mediately with the engagement of the Long Beach concert band, which in recent years has figured import- antly in coast musical events. These and other organizations to follow, of course supplement the various bands doing regular duty throughout the year. ' It is also contemplated to start ‘lhe impoging pageants shortly. De- tailed plans for these were prepared months ago, but the schedule was delayed until spring. These are planned in - conneetion - with the special days set msidefor the States. April 12-19 is set aside for the New England States, the last day being Patriot’s Day in New England.
