Snow Drifted So Badly That Horses Had Difficulty in Getting Thro' .

Gouverneur, April 21.—Until nearly noon yesterday traffic conditions tor automobiles wa« lu a demoralized con­dition in this section, and scores that started early in the day for a south­ern •Vsattofttnon, l a m e d around and came back to town after having trav­eled out but a abort distance The rur­al free carriers had one of the hardest days lu years. D. H. Robillard, whose route takes hljn through the Somer-vllle and Wegatchie and Oxbow sec­tions, decided to drive a horse and cutter as he knew that some of his route drifts heavily. The horse and rig however, found some miles of road so badly drifted and nothing done to open the road, that the horse and rig got stuck. This ds looked upon as more remarkable 'than the stalHng of 100 automobiles. Roads impassable to horses on the 20th of April are a most unusual occurrence. Matters were worse than would have been the case in the winter time as road breaking outfits were put away. Charles Phil­lips, another mail carrier driving an automobile was hauled out of the ditch several time.

Coach William I. Graf, of the local school en route home from Springfield Mass., became stuck in deep snow be­tween Black River and Evans Mills and was compelled to leave his car In the barn of a farmer over night, and Mr. Graf took a train home. This oc~

A Pantonine With Living Actors and in Colors—Directed by Franklin

Bishop. Potsdam. April 22.~On May 14th

and 16th theAnnual Music Festival of «e Potsdam State Normal School will ature a notable departure in the

history of Amercan music, and, so far as can be learned, something which has been attempted by but one dnrect-of, the Frenchman, Francois Pail let, who made a somewhat similar endea­vor in the early nineteenth century in Paris.

Franklin Bishop. Director of the Normal orchestra and chorus will pre­sent the'opera, "A Tale of Old Japan" words by Alfred Noyes and music by 8. Coleridge Taylor.

The utrtque feature of this present­ation will be that while the singing of the score will b e done by a chorus of over a hundred voices which will be seated In the orchestra pit, the dramatic action of the story will con* sist of moving pictures or pantomtnes with living actors and In color. It is readily apparent that it is a task to try the most skilled director, to syn chronise the movements of the silent actors with the rhythm and tempo of the opera. The scenaifc for this tale is written by Lillian Reichard a teach­er in the Normal School.
