Opera HtRson opened tonight at the
Metropolitan. The atulieniewas. if
possible, larger and the subscription
tortious of the house even more bril

Decidedly the feature of the opening
Tiiht was the iirst appearance in Rrand
opera in this country of Miss Geraldlne

and prima donna,- of the Royal Opera
House of Bet-liix Miss Farrar was the

audience tonight.
Tenor and Baritone From Paris.
Chillies Kmtssellierr, for several
years one of the leading tenors of the
Paris opera, was the Romeo, in which
part he Las been received with much
favor by the critics in his own coun
try. Charles Simard, a baritone and
also a Frenchman, took the part of
Mcrcutio. Both are new to the lyric
stasre in New York and both to a minor
extent shared in the triumphs of Miss
Farrar.
Never perhaps hefore in the history
of the house has Clouiiod'3 masterpiece
been sung under auspices more grate
ful to audience and to artist. New
York was there in her full priory, and
before the end of the beautiful balcony
scene the old" house blazed with color
from orchestra to the topmost part of
the gallery.
Ovation to American Girl.
There was one feature essentially
new. Before the first, act was over

brought her back again and again at
the fall of the curtain. It was not
until the end of the balcony scene,
however, that, the triumph of the
American girl, returned to her own
people, was' fully felt. With every

the curtain dropped. Then, indeed, the
young artiste had cause to feel that
it was into warm American hearts she
had quickly sung her way. She was
recalled fully a do-en times, and at
each recall' pages carried upon tho
staitc great lloral pieces and clusters
of American Beauty roses. They came
until the prima donna and Mr. Rous
selllere, her Romeo, stood before a
high hank of roses, and still the audi

and most graciously received.

talked freely, but. said nothing- more
"hout himself, except that he had come

from California, and his brother had
robbed the Rock Island out of Slater on
November 7 and escaped. '
Trueheart appears to be 35 years old.
Ho is 5 feet a inches in height and weighs
about lu.) pounds.
A passenger on the train who returned
to Kansas City this morning from Glas
gow, said.
"The robber was one of the nerviest
imaginable. Ho only weakened when Con
ductor Heywood and a number of pas
sengers literally jumped upon him after
the conductor had pinned him to the floor.
Then the robber, as the passengers kicked
and struck at him, cried, 'O, my mother,'
and gave in.
"The robber covered the trainmen and
the colored porter in the chair car and
made him aid him in robbing the pas
sengers. "Conductor Heywood got the upper hand
when the robber, while operating in the
sleeper, stopped momentarily to put away
securely some of the booty lie had just
secured. Heywood, although 60 years old,
grappled with the man, wrested his re
volver from him and then, as the robber
ran down the car aisle, tired a shot at
him. He snapped the revolver a second
time, but it did not fire. Then it was that
Conductor Heywood literally bore the man
to the fioor and the passengers jumped
upon him."
It is believed by the police of this city
that Claude Randall, the confessed -Chicago
& Alton tralnrobber in jail at
Marshall. Mo., is Clyde Rumsey of Chi
cago, who was released from the Fed
eral prison at Fort .Leavenworth, Kan.,
on November 4. The officers here believe
that Rumsey also held up the Sock Is
land train near Glasgow on November 8.
Rumsey served a term in the Federal
prison for robbing box cars while a
United States soldier. He came to this
city from Leavenworth, bought two
pistols, worked two days as a janitor
and before he quit on November 7 told an
associate that he intended to rob a train.

Fast-Moving Train.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 26. Conductor Eve
reft B. Heywood, who single-handed
overcame a train robber on the Alton
Burlington fast train, reached St. Louis
today. He said that the man admitted
to him that he had robbed the Rock Is
land passenger train at almost the same
place on November 7.
He says that the robber snapped his
revolver at him and that probably the
only thing that saved his life was that
the hammer descended on his thumb.
Surrendering li Is revolver to the con
ductor, the robber made a break for
liberty." Heywood followed, closely after
tiring one shot, and grabbed him by the
coat collar as the robber was trying to
Jump from the ear. The robber slipped
from his coat and. clinging to the side
rail of the car with one hand, Heywood
fought him into submission on the steps
of the swiftly moving car. After he had
been dragged into the vestibule again,
the robber continued to tight desperately
and Heywood says he was compelled to
pound him over the head with the cap

DUE THE ENEMY
Cunning Purpose of Latest
Russian Ukase.
BREAK UP THE COMMUNES
Stolypin Proposes Revolution in
Peasant Iiand Ownership That He
May Split Peasant Class In
New Parliament.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 26. The great
Importance of the imperial ukase sanc
tioning the disruption of the communes is
beginning to be recognized by the press,
where the matter is receiving much at
tention. The opposition Sa taken aback
by the wide scope of the measure and un
expected bold initiative of the govern
ment In tackling and solving in the most
radical manner the problem of communal
ownership, which has existed 4n Russia
for centuries and which has hitherto al
ways been approached cautiously in vol
uminous reports and by Interminable con
ferences by the timorous bureaucracy.
The ukase takes up the abolition of the
peasant payments, which was decided
December 16, 1906, and which comes Into
effect on January 14, 1907. and establishes
a series of categorical articles which shall
be the right of every peasant householder.
In communes where no redistribution has
taken place for the last 24 years a peas
ant may acquire absolute personal prop
erty such portions of the communal land
as happen at the present moment to be In
his possession or under cultivation by him.
In communes where there has been a re
distribution within 24 years this privilege
Is somewhat limited and is subject to pro
rata calculation based on the number of
members In the household.
Consolidate Peasant Farms.
This inalienable right to acquire title
Is accompanied by a corresponding duty
imposed upon the commune, namely, to
decide within a month from the date of
application which lots the applicant shall
possess and what sum of money he shall
pay for the extra communal land desired.
Upon failure to grant an application, the
local administrative authority, represent
ing the Minister of the Interior, is em
powered to adjudicate conflicting claims.
The ukase aims to reduce the present
prevailing cuetom of cultivating widely
scattered pieces of land, which Is con
sidered unfavorable to successful agricul
ture, by giving the householder the right
to demand contiguous pieces of land, thuw
making possible the consolidation of his
property. The ukase further sets forth
that whoie communes can be broken by
a two-thirds majority vote.
Opposition Scents Scheme.
Without daring to defend the antiquated
system of communal ownership, which of
ten has been cited as the txile remaining
example of collective ownership, which
has aroused the interest of students of
sociology and which has been regarded
as. the mainstay of the guarantees of a
measure of equality to the peasants of
Russia, the opposition press leaps to at
tack the government in anticipation that
the next Parliament may pass legislation
to strike at the foundation of the ex
isting system. It in charged that the gov
ernment purposes to build up a party
consisting of the wealthier peasant house
holders" who would naturally be quick to
take advantage of an opportunity to ac
quire big lots of land at low prices.
Aim to Divide Peasants.
M. Kutler, ex-Minieter of Agriculture
and the agrarian expert of the Constitu
tional Democratic parly, publishes an ar
ticle in the Rech, in which he claims that
the ukase gives every single peasant
power to disrupt the commune, but that
the wealthier peasants, who are favored
by the ukase, will derive most benefit
from It and become the attacking side.
They will acquire the larger pieces of
land and, gradually separating themselves
from the poorer peasants, they will form
a valuable addition to the ranks of the
landholders. The government, M- Kutler
says, purposes to avail itself of the help
of this class to maintain a reactionary
regime as well as the principle of the "in
violability of property, which is the most
serious thing in the way of the proper
solution of the agrarian question.
Although Parliament may reject this
law, the government calculates to extract
profit therefrom through the disintegra
tion of the peasant body into two warring
elements. This will lighten its task and
secure for it an ally in the Impending
second battle with the lower House of
Parliament.
HANG JEW, SHOOT CHRISTIANS
Sentence on Leaders of Mutineers at
Sevastopol.
SEVASTOPOL, Nov. 26. The courtmar
tial which has been trying the- sailors
and others charged with being implicated
in the mutiny of November, 1905, for
which Lieutenant Schmidt and ttiree com
panions were executed March 19, has
sentenced a civilian named Kontorovich
and two sailors to death. Kontorovich,
who is a Jew. will be hanged and the
others will be shot.
Three of the accused men. Including
(he son of an army Colonel, who was at
the head of the mutiny until Schmidt
assumed command, were sentenced to im
prisonment in the mines for life, and
226 men were condemned to various terms
of imprisonment at hard labor.
DEMAND WITTE'S EXPULSION
Monarchists Appeal to Czar Witte
I Candidate for Douina.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 26. The
Monarchists and Reactionists, finding
that their threats have not driven
Count "Witte out ot -Russia, held a
meeting at Moscow today and tele
graphed to the Emperor, Asking for
his expulsion from the empire. Count
Wltte's revival of the publication of
tho Slovo is said to indicate that he in
tends again to become a potential fac
tor in the situation. According to a
dispatch from Sochi, in the Caucasus,
where Count "Witte lias estates, the re
port that he will become a candidate
for election to Parliament was received
with great enthusiasm.
DRIVE OUT ALL AGITATORS
Peasants Revive Old Custom to Get
Rid of Revolutionists.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 26. A novel
use Is being made by the peasants of the
Samara and Puzluk Districts. In the
Province of Saratoff, o'f an ancient privi
lege enjoyed by the communes by which
a mass meeting of the peasants of the
commune had the right to constitute it
self a popular court and expel thieving,
besotted, shiftless, dissolute or otherwise
exceptionally obnoxious persons from the
commune into the hands of the police,
who sent them in exile to Siberia. This
rough an.d ready measure was at one
time resorted to In extreme cases only,
the total of such expulsions not averaging
more than a few hundred a year, but lat
terly the custom has fallen into disuse.
In Saratoff. however, the peasants of
several dozen villages are now acting
in unison and are using this weapon
to fight the revolutionists. They have
begun by adopting blank letters of ex
pulsion and threaten to enter the flames
thereon of all agitators and their sup
porters. In these same districts the houses of
several agitators have been burned and
It is reported that the peasants have ap
pealed to the administrative officials, of
their districts for permssion to re-instate
the old system of corporal punishment
for the correction of minor offenses.
As a result of these proceedings, the
revolutionary agitation in Saratoff prov
ince is becoming more extreme.

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y.. Nov. 26.
An unknown man was swept over the
Horseshoe Falls in a small boat this af

Two rowboats started down the Chip

what is considered the danger line, but
a cross current carried the unfortunate
man away from them toward Goat Is

'TWAS A MIGHTY
NARROW ESCAPE!
BY MEANS OF DESPERATE FIRE
FIGHTING AND PERFECT
GENERALSHIP WARE
HOUSE IS SAVED.
The Hairbreadth Escape of the Mag
nificent Stock Now Stored at our
Wholesale Warehouse, 13th and
Northmp Sts., Makes Us All the
More Anxious to Dispose of It.
Over $140,000.00 Worth Must Go,
and That Quickly, in This Emer
gency Sale.
Those were anxious moments around
the retail establishment yesterdav even
ing when word come up from our whole
sale department of the Hotel Northern
tire, which is on the same block with our
piano shops, stables, and piano storage
depot. Only the most efficient live-fighting
and managing, and the mighty solid
easterly fire wall of the- piano warehouse
saved the stock. But we don't need an
other, warning: To carry so tremendous
a stock, and the most costlv kind of
pianos at that, intended for the great re
opening in October of our Portland es
tablishment, is unwise, and no matter
how much upside down we niav find our
selves in the new retail quarters that
are now being gotten under way, we are
going to commence piano selling, big en
thusiastic double-quick piano-selling,
right away. The prices at which we have
advertised these instruments for sale
will, we are sure, accomplish the object.
As stated in our previous announcement,
it is not a question of profit now. We
have the pianos, for they have been ac
cumulating since September and October,
when we had everv right to expect pos
session of 'this building, and they must
find buyers quickly now.
All the Notables There.
We present this morning the very finest
of high-grade instruments. Beautiful
Webers and Hazeltons, of New York.
The now famous Kimball. Chicago's
greatest piano, and then the finest and
most glorious of them all, the Chlckering
of Boston, and there are also beautiful
Hobart M. Cables and Crown Orchestral
pianos and Marshall & Wendells and
dozens of others, each make the very fin
est in its respective class. And all of
these pianos were specially selected for
display during the opening week of the
bigger and the better and the busier
Eilers Piano House.
We Cut the j:ice.
But that is not all. We not only pre
sent the very choicest of instruments,
but we are offering them at a price far
below the usual retail selling price and
at a figure that will barely cover the
factory cost and freight. It is not a
question of profit-making with us now.
We must get rid of tho goods.
Then, asain. we shall be glad to have
you arrange the matter of payments to"
suit yourself. Everything will be
marked at the actual cash cost. But
any piano will be obtainable at the
cash figure plus simple interest on terms
of payment to suit any reasonable buyer.
If you cannot pay all cash, pay a little
now and a few dollars every month. If
you are nor prepared to pay any money
now. come in any way. We will send you
a piano and you can pay when ready.
Rent If You Don't Buy!
If you are not in a position to buy a
piano at all, come in and rent one. "We
shall charge no cartage to any one rent
ing a piano six months or longer. If
you will rent a piano three months we
will ask you to pay hut one-half of the
cartage charges. We must get rid of a
lot of pianos quickly, and it is not going
to be our fault if we don't. In spite
of the wonderfully heavy sales In the
interior, our big wholesale warehouse,
corner Thirteenth and Northrup streets,
is lull to overflowing. As stated before,
the many beautiful pianos Intended for
our October reopening are in, the Novem
ber shipments are in, and December
shipments are soon due to arrive. Of
genuine Chickering pianos alone there
are four monster carloads, over $46,000
worth, coming today and tomorrow, and
there are just as many Webers and still
more Weber Pianola Pianos, and carloads
upon carloads of every other kind of
high-class Instruments on the way.
A Slaughter Is Inevitable.
You see the fix we are in. So. even
though it will very much upset piano
conditions temporarily, we are going to
simply slaughter our pianos until our
store is definitely in shape and reopened.
We hope it will be but a short time.
We surely will terminate the sale the
moment matters are arranged.
The upstairs Is to be arranged first,
while we are selling pianos in the un
completed downstiirs. Then the down
stairs will be finished and we'll sell
upstairs. And the work of reconstruct
ing and rebuilding will be rushed forward
now with all possible haste.
Here Are Some Prices.
If you are thinking of getting a piano
come in today or tonight. We had occa
sion once to saeritice a lot of regular
J2T5 pianos for J1S6. We said we thought
they never could again be obtained at
such a low figure. But in our present
predicament we are going to sell forty
seven of these now for $1.7 each, say. $17
or less down, and $H, yes, even $5, a
month. 1
All of our standard $425 and $4M pianos
are going to go for $26 and $294 and some
of the plainer cases can ra- had for
$262. Same terms as the above, if you
like.
We will take actual factory cost and
freight for some very fancy and most
costlv highest grade uprights that were
ordered especially for an exclusive Port
land trade. There are some choice pianos
in mission design cases among them. We
don't want to take chances carrying any
of these over the holidays into the next
vear. Terms of $l."i a month, yes. 1
a month, or say $40 or $50 every three
months, buys them.
Bear in mind that everything sold by
Filers Piano House is positively war
ranted, no matter what the price paid.
The store will be kept open tonight to ac
commodate those wishing to select a
piano for Thanksgiving. Remember tU
