E. Cornish, of Portland Bar. LOST and found property. "Find ing's keeping!" is a favorite ex pression of childhood, and grown up people are very apt to regard this conclusive statement as an adequate presentation of the law on the subject. But the legal status of lost and found property is by no means so simple a matter. An owner who Intentionally aban dons . his property does indeed divest himself of the title and cannot be heard to complain if a stranger finds it and takes possession of it for his own use. But the great majority of cases are not those of intentional abandonment, but of unintentional loss or misplacement, and in those cases the original owner does not lose bis title to the property and he may rightfully claim It from the finder. If the finder refuses to re turn the property to its owner on de mand he can be forced to do so by an action at Jaw. A persn finding lost property is un der no compulsion to take possession of it. If he sees a diamond ring lying on the sidewalk, or a pocketbook . of money in the middle of the street, it is his privilege to pass on the other side. And if the next comer is a thief who makes off with it, the owner re turning in search for his property can not hold the first finder liable.' If, however, the finder takes possession of it. he is Immediately placed under cer tain obligations to the unknown owner. The first of his duties is to take rea sonable means to locate the owner, and return his property to him. The finder of lost property who fails to take this step may find himself not only civilly, but criminally liable for larceny. There are old cases which seem to hold that 'here can be no lar ceny where tne owner is unknown,, but with few exceptions, the modern " au thorities agree that where the finder intended, at the time of. finding, to re tain the property for his own use, he is guilty of larceny although he did not, know at the time who the owner was. It would seem that the fraudulent In tent must be present at the time the article iff found, so that if the finder intends to act honestly and makes an effort to find the owner, but afterwards changes his' miridand'retalns the prop- Conluded on Paga 4.

METROPOLITAN OPERA COMPANY'S PLANS FOR APPROACHING SEASON ARE ANNOUNCED ' Seven American Artists Have Been Added .to List, but Madame Louise Homer Is Not One of Them New Operas - To Be Given, as Well as Many Old Favorites. BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. (Special.) The long-awaited announcement of the plans for next season at the Metropolitan has just been present ed by Giulio Gatti-Casazza. general director of the houee. Opening Novem ber 12,' the season will run- for 23 weeks, during which it is hoped to pre sent as many novelties and elaborate productions as have been possible in any of the seasons during which Mr. Gatti-Casazza has so ably directed the destiny of that great organization. Seven American artists have been added to the list and one notes with regret the' absence of one American ar tist. Mme. Louise Homer. Others whose names do not appear this, season are Mme. Johanna Gadski and Otto Goritzi From, time to time information has leaked out concerning some of the novelties scheduled for production, con sequently it has already been told that the new five-act French opera "Ma rouf," with libretto by Lucien Nepoty and music by Henri Rabaud, will -have its'first performance ln 'this country. The story of this opera appeared a few weeks ago in these columns. ... Carnio Will Have Tenor Role. Mascaghi's' "Lodoletfa" (the Little Sky-Lark), an opera with libretto ar ranged from Ouida's story, "Two Little Wcoden Shoes," will have its first per formance with Caruso in the tenor role, he having sung it recently in South America. Another- Russian opera Which is ex pected to be as successful as Mous sorgsky's "Boris Godounow" will be "Le Cod d'Or," by Rimsky-Korsakoff. after a poem of Pouschkine. This will be sung in French.. The direction also announces a work ty an American composer, "Shanewis," or "The . Robin Woman," a one-act opera in two scenes with text in Eng lish, by Nellie Richmond Eberhart and music by Charles Wakefield Cadman, who is well known for his identifica tion with Indian life and music. This will be shown early ln the season. - Another American , composer to be recognized for the first time in the repertory of the Metropolitan is Henry F. Gilbert, of Boston, represented by a "Ballet Pantomime" descriptive of life ln old New Orleans, upon a theme tak en from a story , by George W. Cable. A complete novelty in German will be an. operatic version of Liszt's ora torio, "St. Elizabeth," with text by Otto Roquette. Old Operaa to Be Revived. Some of the operas which have-been out of the repertory for several sea sons will be revived. Perhaps the most welcome of these will be Montemezzi's "L'Amone del tre Re," In Italian; Doni zetti's "La Fille du Regimente." in Fiench, and Meyerbeer's "Le Propnete," in French, Bellini's "I Puritani," "La Gioconda," of Ponchielll and Gounod's "Faust"; "The Secret of Susanne," by Wolf-Ferrari, and "Orfeo e Euridioe," by Gluck. "Les Huguenots," of Meyerbeer; "The Masked Ball" (Verdi), "Tannhauser," "Manon" and "Iris" (Mascagni), are also named for .possible production. Most of, last' year's repertory will be retained' except "Der Rosenkavalier," "Hansel and Gretei," "The Magic Flute" and "Iphlgenia." Among the engagements Giorgio Po lacco will be replaced by Roberto Mo ranzoni. Pierre Monteux, the French conductor, has been added to the reg ular staff, which includes Bodanzky, Hageman, Japi. Rothmeyer, assistant conductors Wilfred Pelletier, from Paris; Bambosheck, Eisler, Fucito, Rome!. Giulio Setti is again named as chorusmaster and among the additions to the ballet in the managerial depart ment is named Adolf Bolm. New Americans on List. The new Americns' added to the list of artists include Florence . Eastdn. known as a member of the companies of the Royal Opera of Berlin, Covent Garden, of London and Chicago; May Peterson, of the Opera Comique, Paris; Helen ' Kanders, Marie Conde, Ruth Frances Miller, sopranos; Cecil Arden, mezzo-soprano, and Thomas Chalmers, baritone. The re-engagement of - Mme. Frem stad is one of the most imortant feat ures of the next season, side by side with the engagement for a limited number of appearances by . John Mc Cormack. In addition to these a new acquisition is Julia Claussen, the Scan dinavian messo-soprano. well known on the operatic stage of both continents. New. also are Hipilito Lazaro, the Spanish tenor; Vicente Ballester, a Spanish baritone; Josef Groenen, a Dutch baritone, and Jose Mardones, the Spanish bass-baritone, formerly of the Boston Opera Company. Richard Or dynski, who has made some special productions for the Metropolitan will be a- regular member of the company and Armando Agnini' will be stage manager for the Italian repertory. Marcella Craft ln Marguerite. Following Marcella Craft's exquisite Violetta offered by the San Carlo Opera Company In which Miss Craft was "guest" performer, this brilliant Ameri can soprano's Marguerite was awaited with such enthusiasm and eagerness that the -house was completely sold out several days beforehand and there was a long line in waiting at the box office long before the curtain went up it might, be said before the doors were open the crowd had assembled outside. Much credit is due Carlo Peroni for bringing into the time-honored, if not time-worn, "Faust" all that could be accomplished in the way of a smooth performance musically. Miss Craft had practically no support ex cept that of a highly pleasing Mephi topheles of De Biasi and the Valentine of M. Antola, who made a good impres sion when he controlled his tendency to a tremolo. Tenor cw Wean Uniform. A figure new in military circles is Vernon Stiles, the stalwart and hand some tenor, who having impersonated heroes Wagnerian and Oscar Strauss ian. is wearing the United States Army uniform. Mr. Stiles has had as roman tic a career as anyone that ever faced, an audience and has now added military life to a career which opened as a cow boy and ranchman. He is the son of Judge Edward H. Stiles, of the United States Circuit Court, of Kansas City, Mo., who was never able to win his son over to a career like his own. Opera loomed forth like a magnet and he is widely remembered as Pinkerton in the English production made by Henry Savage of "Madame Butterfly," after which he .went into light opera and then to Vienna, where he was a fa vorite for many years at the Royal Opera, a prime favorite of Felix Weio-gartner.
