pardon and made arrangements for the
federal authorities to take him as. soon
as he was" released from custody hern.
Learning of the purpose of the par
don, York refused to aecept it. , He said
he was.sentenee'd to. sen'e from' two to
20 ears1 in this penitentiary and that
he intended to serve iU. -. , (J - -
As there was some 'doubt about legal
aspects, the governor revoked the par
don and (Superintendent Lawson put the
matter up to" the attorney general, who
held that the governor could grant the
pardon and let the federal officials take
the man, whose recourse, : would be
habeas corpus proceedings against the
federal authorities. , ' - - -
But York knew nothing of this opin
ion. Tn tho meantime the Illinois au-
thorltles again asked for hlni. wanting
him for- conducting a confidence game
and swindling a man out of $900. . -After
h thought the federal authori
t Its had decided to Jsjt him remaltt .;lri
tlie-Oregon prison, York began to make
demands 'for hlg release, saying he had
benn pardoned, and, therefore, was be
ing held illegally. $He sent his demands
to mo governor.
So today: the governor, apparentlv ln
response, Issued a new pardon, and York
was chuckling over the clever game he
had played on the prison of flclals when
he- walked into the presence of the Illi
nois official, who held Inhis hand a
warrant for his arrest.
York failed to relish the April Fool
joke. .

close range with this young Italia:!
composer, Ermanho Wolf-Ferrai-I. So
last night those who ? went to the Oi
pheum did-ao with the keenest of esr- -pectancy
and considerable curiosity:
"The Jewels of the Madonna" was flint
produced jess than two year agoaivl ,'
so is one of the very newest of grahl
operas. Through his "Secret of Suzanne
we had discovered, however, as far na
that very much condensed work went,
Wolf-Ferrari wasnf ltaera Puecim",
Verdt nor ilJtrass, but a combination
of them all. and yet qdlte different from
each and all of hts predecessors -
Melody Smoota and Hawing- ' ,
"The Jewels of the Madonna'' abounds
with eutranclng-amoothly flowing rnel.
ody. not of the kind, however, tiiat dis
tinctly lingers in the memory, but rather
haunts asd puzzles pleasingly. With a
lighter orchestra or a ies efficient d!-
rector than . Cleofonte Campanini.. .the
wonderful gnis 'of the score 'would,
probably have been lost, for upon lils
masterful guidance depended the 'sue.'

the voice serves more as an accompani
