Gattt Cosazza announces several
acquisitions for the Metropolitan
Opera Company for next season. On of
them is n American mezzo-soprano
named Lillian Eubank. She is a native
of Abilene. Tex., and has studied in New
York at the Institute of Musical Art
under Mme. Ternlna. Jim. Theodore
Toedt and Mr. Giraudetand has studied
German with Miss Fir?au. who makes
a specialty of teaching that language
to alnirers who are to appear in Ger
man opera. Frank Damrosch de
scribes Miss Eubank as "a youngr wom
an of talent and temperament with a
voice of great possibilities." Miss En
bank'a finishing instruction was at the
hand of Fernando Tanara, who Is a
specialist in operatic training.

Mrs. Pedar Brugliere lost her suit
recently against Dr. Pedac Brugliere.
a wealthy physician, for maintenance
as a wife. She married the doctor In
1902. but seven years later he divorced
her in Reno. She went to New York
and married J. Stewart Denning and
Dr. Brugliere also married again. A
few months after her wedding Mrs.
Denning learned that the divorce se
cured by Brugliere was Invalid and
that she was therefore his wife, so she
caused her marriage with Denning lo
be annulled and went to San Francisco
to establish her rights as a wife. The
court held that her action in marry
ing in New Yorlf showed .that she
admitted that she was no longer
Brugliere's wife. The case will be
carried to the. State Supreme Court
The first trouble between Dr. and Mrs.
Brugliere began in 1904. when she left
her husband charging cruelty.
Gabrlelle of the Lilies has departed
these shores. She sailed presumably
for her dear Paris. Gaby has been ap
pearing at the Winter Garden with
great success for some months. It
was supposed she would remain here
Indefinitely. Suddenly she announced
her intention of going away. Her de
cision was coincident with the news
that King Manuel, of the late kingdom
of Portugal, had decided to get mar
ried. It will be recalled by all but
those with very short memories that
Manuel was supposed to have lost his
throne through his devotion to Gaby
and his neglect of his duties as a sov
ereign. There may be some associa
tion between the facts named above.
But, whatever the reason. Gaby has
gone away. She sailed on the Olympic.

Miss Lid a Louise Fleitman appeared
at the Meadowbrook Hunt race meet
wearing1 a coat suit of black broadcloth
with a small white hat and carrying a
monocle. The nonocle is the latest
fad for women of society, but few of
them have had the courage as yet to
sport it. Miss Fleltman is a daughter
of Mrs. William M. fleltman ana one
of the prettiest girls in New York.
One of the most devoted or the at
tendants at the practice games of the
polo players who are preparing for
the international match in June is
Mrs. Charles Cary Ramsey. She was
Mary Harriman and she Inherited from
her father, the late K. IL Harriman, a
love of horse flesh. She has been a
frequent exhibitor at horse shows and
has always driven her own horses.
Mrs. Rumsey Js probably as good a
Judge of a polo pony as any of the
players on the American teams.
Miss Claire Bird was a striking fig
ure at the recent race meet of the
Meadowbrook Hunt. She is one of the
younger members of the "Long Island
set" in New York society. Her father
is Oliver William Bird and they live
at Hempstead. She will be a regular
attendant at the polo matches for the
international cup In June.

NEW YORK. May 1". (Special.)
Never within the history of opera
in New York has there been such
a cauldron of affairs. Everything Is
at white heat and everything Is boil
ing. The Metropolitan affairs were
fairly well setUed when Gattl-Casaxxa
came the dissolving of the bonds be
tween Mr. Dlppel and the Chicago
Opera Company, which throws new con
fusion Into the campi
No matter what disposition Mr. Dip
pel should make of himself, even should
he accept a proposition to become man
aging director of the opera scheme to
be brought forth for the City Club
temporarily to put the plan on its feet,
there Is lltUe donbt that Mr. Dippel will
go to "the Pacific Coaat with headquar
ters at San Francisco and for the pres
ent he wlU co-operate with Mr. Leahy
in San Francisco while from that point
he will make tours as far east as Den
ver, although at the present time Mr.
Dlppel Is only hearing voices for light
cpera.
Mr. Dippel is too fine an organizer
to allow him to rest in surroundings
where opera is already a success, or in
light opera. There are several points
In America where a man of his force
and ability could bring about the much
desired enterprise of having permanent
opera, something San Francisco Is per
fectly ready to support and even the
cities in the Northwest have signified
their Intention to stand by an annual
loss until such time as the following
Is large enough to make opera self
supporting. So far as the relations between the
Metropolitan and the Chicago Opera
Company are concerned, they will re
main unchanged and Mr. Campanlnl's
company under his own direction. will
appear at the Metropolitan on the Tues
day evenings which will be set aside
for this purpose as heretofore. The
natter aa it now -eems to stand is that
the Metropolitan Opera Company will
give S3 weeks of opera, the City Club
will -give opera at popular prices at
the Century Theater, the Chicago-Philadelphia
Company will make not less
than six apearanccs at the Metropoli
tan, Oscar Hammerstein la undaunted
by the onslaught of opera and is con
tinuing to prepare one of his own and
the Aboms are still working on their
plans, which they expect to formulate
into active work within a few weeks.
Meanwhile artists who are awaiting
the verdicts front all sources are grow
ing cross-eyed watching all the kettles
boll at once, and no one knows where
he can or where ha wants to sign, those
who have been waiting for months
"to sing for Mr. Dlppel" are wondering
what for and how. I
The change of affairs will make It
necessary for Campantnl to resign his
post at Covent Garden at once, and this
post will be filled by Giorgio Polacco,
who conducted at the Metropolitan
during the season just closed. Polacco
has been re-engaged at the Metropoli
tan for next season, and it Is likely
that he will divide his time between
New York and Covent Garden.
Alfred Herts sailed Saturday morn
ing for England, where he will stop
for a few .days only before proceeding
to Berlin, and later to his home in
Frankfort. Mr. Hertz has had a very
severe season and has been obliged to
refuse all invitations to participate in
Wagner festivals to participate In
try and In Europe, where he will be a
revelation some day some day when
he will contribute himself for part of
a season, as the great German con
ductor has become very much of an
American. A few days ago he startled
himself and his companions while dis
cussing the tariff situation by the re
mark: "Yes, but here is our country;
we need not fear that competition."
When his attention was called to the
remark he laughed, but he did not
alter the form of the comment.
And so he has proven himself to all
with whom he has come into contact,
both as taskmaster in the preparation
of the American artists for the roles
they were to sing under his baton, and
In bis relation to the Americans who
have been fortunate enough to have
their operas undertaken at the big
Broadway house.
Just before sailing Mr. Hertz spoke
with enthusiasm of the forthcoming
production of a Herbert work, and
when asked his attitude to the Ameri
can as a composer of opera he said:
There is nothing to be done except
to give him the chance to hear his own
works, and from this each, man who
writes will write a better work the
second time. It Is rather a pity for a
man to write more than one work be
fore hearing It performed, because it
Is astounding what he learns from his
own mistakes. For Instance, I may say
that no composer in his first work
knows Just how to calculate on the
amount of music that must go to allow
for the action. If,a carriage is to come
on the stage, there must be enough mu.
slo to allow for its coming on and for
its going off, and it should be ramie
that will bide as much as possible the
noise incidental to such a de
tail. I can only call the atten
tion to such a point in "Lohengrin"
where not only the provision is made
for the tramp of the horses, but the
rolling drums, the military music and
everything is contributed to hide the
sound which would be inartistic, also
distracting. Only a production will
show a man these things and only a
production will teachc him how to write
music that means the same thing that
the words mean. I make no other sug
gestion to the American who wants to
write opera because he must know bet
ter than anyone can tell him what the
needs are for a good technical equip
ment, for serious study and for study
of the best forms. He knows that he
should hear, not only opera, but the
best drama, and he should hear It with
an ear that listens for the musical side
of the language. If he reads plays, he
must read into them a musical ex
pression, and not feel that there is
nothing to do but write music of some
sort to the story."
Mr. Hertz said that very few coun
tries are producing great works and
that the American has quite an equal
chance with the composers of other
countries. He again expressed his will
ingness and pleasure In giving his
best efforts to the production of what
ever could be made to meet the re
quirements of the Metropolitan. He
spoke with appreciation of what has
been accomplished by American teach
ers and by the singers of this country,
both here and abroad, and he said that
he would always welcome every Amer
ican singer who could achieve success
under his baton or under that of any

On the night before his sailing Mr.
Hertz met with a new feature in mu
sical life. For the first time In his life
he heard a Gilbert & Sullivan opera,
and there was no one in the audience
that witnessed "The Mikado" at the
Casino who enjoyed it so thoroughly.
His enthusiasm over the delightful mu
sic was as great as though he had not
closed the most strenuous season in
his own career, and he was most com
plimentary over the singers who made
this splendid performance possible. Of
course, De Wolf Hopper never was fun
nier, and his antics went to the right
place with the great Wagnerian con
ductor, who expressed much admiration
for the fine voice of Arthur Cunning
ham, asalso for that of George Mac
Farlane. Mr. Hertz went away thor
oughly determined that at some time,
in some place, he would take in every
thing from "Pinafore" on.
Among the plans arranged for the
season of 1913-14 the Philharmonic So
ciety announces a transcontinental
tour which will take the orchestra as
far West as California. The season
In New York will close in April and
the orchestra, under Josef Stransky,
will go directly to Chicago, opening
there April 12. It will Include Kansas
City Des Moines and other cities of
the Middle West, going from there to
Texas and then north to San Fran
cisco. The soloists have not yet been
announced, but it is understood that
some interesting artists will appear.
Henry Hadley passed through New
York recently on his way to Europe,
where he will corjtuct a number of
concerts and play some of his own
compositions. Mr. Hadley'a first ap-
pearances will be in London and be will
also have some concerts In Rome and
in Germany, where he has long held an
enviable reputation. Mr. Hadley was
enthusiastic over his season in San
Francisco and that ho is in sympathy
with work in the West is proven from
the fact that anions? his offerings last
season was a symphony by Edward F.
Schneider, a California composer, wao
is well known in song literature in the
East, but whose larger work remains
for some broad-minded Eastern con
ductor to produce. Mr. Hadley has a
contract with the San Francisco Sym
phony Orchestra which will extend
until after the exposition In 1915.
LOS ANGELES PUBLIC MARKET PROVES
. SUCCESS TO THOUSANDS OF PATRONS
Increase in Numbef of Farmers and Producers Steadily Growing and Often Market Is All Sold Out Before
Noon Jjos Angeles Press Club Has Been Launched With Membership of 75.
LOS ANGELES, May 17. (Special.)
That the Los Angeles public
market is a success in every way
is evident by the fact that between 25,
000 and 30,000 people daily patronize
the three markets. The increase In
the number of farmers and producers
is steadily growing. Often the market
is all sold out before noon.
"The markets are proving . a great
success," declares MarKet superinten
dent O'Brien. "We have all kinds of
vegetables and the demand is exceed
ingly great. There Is practically no
trouble with the commission men."
An amusing incident happened at one
of the markers when a peddler appeared
With a large pack of dainty, feminine
wear and offered them for sale to a
group of 20 women who had come to
the market to buy their dally supply of
green products. He was ordered away
by Superintendent O'Brien, who de
clared that no lingerie will be permit
ted to be sold at any of the three mar.

A marrlare ceremony without prece
dent In the history of Los Angeles,
during which both bride and bride
groom wept and in whtcn no ring was
used, took place this week in Justice
of the Peace Forbes' court. It was an
elopement on the part of the bride to
wed a man in Jail on tne cnarge oi
burglary.
Miss Sarah Wilson, 22 years" oldv was
the weeping bride, and Leigh Owens,
county jail prisoner, the tearful bride
groom. On account of- parental objections,
Miss Wilson had not been allowed to
visit the prisoner. The girl is said to
have been broken-hearted.
Through a friend Owens arranged an
elopement. First he secured permis
sion from Sheriff Hammel to visit
Judge Forbes' court and marry the
girl. Then he notified her.
Without saying a word to her par
ents, the girl slipped from her home
and met-Owens in the reception room
at the County Jail.
Hand in hand, in custody of an offi
cer, they went to Forbes' court. Owens

Mother of 17 children, all living, and
also foster mother-to two grandchild
ren. Mrs. Mary C. Koch surprised
Judge McCormick recently by petition
ing him for permission to adopt and
rear another baby.
The little one, Helen Shirley, the 18-month-old
fatherless daughter of one
of her daughters, Mrs. Koch explained,
had completely won her heart.
"I am better able to take care of her,"
said Mrs. Koch, and the youngster ap
peared to be trying to grin to show her
appreciation.
To prevent the striking beauty of his
17-year-old bride attracting the admira
tion of other men. Angel Bororls. of
Venice, seized his wife of three months
and shaved her wealth of dark brown
tresses from her head.
She rescued the shorn locks, hurried
to the District Attorney's office and
told her tale. A complaint was Issued
charging the young husband with bat
tery and he was arrested.
As the young wife told her story she
wept. This is the story:
"My husband was terribly jealous of
me. - He said if be ever saw a man
smile at me he would cut my hair off.
He told me every time I saw a man to
look down at the ground. He wouldn't
let me even look at my brothers or at
his brothers. Today, I decided to visit
my mother at Santa Monica. I told him
so and he said: 'Well, I will fix you so
you -won't want to go anywhere.' Then
he seized me. cut off my hair with the
shears and shaved it twice with his
razor. I was too frightened to move."
One of the most remarkable ceremo
nies that has taken place in the his
toric mission of San Gabriel during the
oast 50 years was the baptismal serv
ice conducted by Rev. Father Eugene,
O, M. F., this week, when he admin
istered the sacred rites of the church
to Mary Eva Clementine Talancon, a
full-blooded Indian woman, 100 years
old.
Mrs. Talancon, as a little child, played
around the mission when California was
still under the jurisdiction of the Mex
ican government, in list came tne
confiscation of the missions. The In
dians were driven away and among
them was the little Indian lass, Eva
Clementine. Later she was kidnaped
and carried away to Arizona. After
wandering the Southwest for nearly 90
years she returned to her birthplace to
receive the consolation of the religion
her baby lips first learned to lisp.
Mayor Alexander is in distress, as a
result of going to a new barber and
failing to give specific instructions. His
honor came near losing his whiskers,
which have been one of the Mayor's
distinguishing features during his en
tire political career.
Instead of a nice interesting beard
which he has been accustomed to wear
Mayor Alexander is now compelled to
content himself with a stubby, bristly
growth on the end of his chin which
Is highly distasteful and aggravating.
The barber used his shears too
much," said the Mayor. "My regular
barber was not in and I did not notice
what the new barber was doing to my
whiskers until he was all through. I
did not pay any particular attention to
the matter until I went home and was
met by my wife. She noticed the dif
ference at once and wanted to know
the reason I let the barber slaughter

gument to offer, for I never argue with
my wife.

Husbands! Your rights have been
established by law.
Wives! Listen to this: Tour hus
bands are the "bosses."
"The husband has a right to say
where he and his wife and children
shall live. The wife cannot say. 'I am
going to live at such and such a place'
while the husband lives in another and
then exDect him to pay her bills."
With these words Judge Charles
Monroe dismissed the charge of falling
to provide brought by Mrs. Maude Col
lins against her husband, F. H. Collins.
According to Collins' testimony his
wife expressed a marked preference for
life at Venice and didn't care to come
to Los Angeles to live with him, al
though' he urged her to do so. He came
to the city and she charged that he did
not send her any money to live on in
Venice.
Heroism on the part of two com
panions who followed him for three
hours over the sands of the Mojave
desert after he had been sunstruck
saved the life of Fred Gartz, son of an
Altadena millionaire.
Gartz is a Pasadena high school stu
dent and Stewart Welsh and William
Wright, also high school students,
were his companions.
All three had started on a fishing
trip. While crossing the Mojave River
12 miles from Hesparia the automobile
in " which they were riding became
mired in quicksand, and for four hours
the boys worked in the hot sun before
they were able to extricate the car.
After freeing It they decided to take a
swim In the. cooling waters of the
river.
It was while swimming that the sun
stroke affected Gartz. Suddenly he at
tacked Welsh, endeavoring to drown
him. Welsh cried for assistance and.
aided by Wright, fought off the youth.
Gartz then left the water ana, ae-
vold of clothes, started across the des
ert. When his two companions tried
to induce him to go back witn tnem
he fought them off and ran for more
than a mile over tne not sana. v nue
Welsh and Wrlsrht followed a short
rKstance behind. Gartz circled aimless
ly over the desert for more than three
hours. .....
Almost totally exhausted rrom tneir
efforts, Welsh and Wright finally at
tacked and overcame their companion.
Tying him securely with articles of
clothing, one kept guard while the
other returned to where the automo-
bile had been left and piloted It to
where Gartz lay. Loading him into the
tonneau, they carried him to Hes
peria. Undaunted by the declaration of op
posing attorneys that the Superior
Court had already decided adversely
to similar claimants, Ellen Dal ton

Wellborn's court to wrest from the

One of the most remarkable run
aways ever reported to the Los Angeles
police is that of Harold Smith, of Pas
adeha, stepson of Mrs. Lydla Smith,
who has not been seen since January
22.
According, to the mother, the boy is
subject to a stranco mania for wander
ing, which is controlled by the moon.
Mrs. Smith says that when there is
a new moon or when tho moon Is grow
ing her stepson makes preparations to
run away from home. He has run away
from home and always at that stage of
the moon. This time, however, is the
longest time that he has stayed away.
WARNING IS GIVEN WOMEN
Australian Government Advising
Against Marrying Afghans.
SYDNEY, N. P. W.. May 17. (Special.)
At the request of Mr. Harcourt, the
Colonial Secretary, the Commonwealth
Government has issued a warning to
Australian women against the common
practice of marrying Afghans and
Pathans (natives of the Northwestern
Frontier regions of India), who visit
Australia for rurposes of trade or
camel driving.
Such marriages, it is pointed out, are
contracted by the husbands merely as
a "business transaction." and, as a rule,
result in misery for the wives. The
Afghans and Pathans deceived the wo
men with lies about the "magniflcenre
and comforts" of their homes, their
status in their own country and the
future life of their wives there. In this
way women are Induced to marry them
and accompany them back to India and
across the Northwestern frontier, where
they are promptly sold to the highest
bidders.
The women thereafter are doomed to
a life of close imprisonment under bar
barous conditions, and, their attractions
waning, become simply household
slaves. They live and die in a harem,
without hope of communication with,
their relatives.

New Bullet to Bo Tested. '
PARIS, May 17. (Special.) M.
Etienne has ordered fresh tests to be
made with the new Derguesse bullet,
which is said to be greatly superior to
me "D" bullet now used for the Lebel

let that it does not score the inside
of the barrel like the "O." and that it
penetrating power is much greater.
The new tests apparently will decide
