Sfeeraoe Rates Cut

New YORK, Aug. 30.-The Ham
burg-American line made another cut
in steerage rates today, reducing the
price of steerage ticket to Southamp-
ton from SIS to SO.
The latter rate has prevailed on the
American line for several weeks, the
company having more business than
it could accommodate. The American
line people say the cut of the III"
burg-American line is an adva
to them, as enabling them to di
of their surplus passengers wit
loss.

There was an embarrassment Of riches in
the opera company last winter. which caused
many heartburnings among the Ave sopranos.
II was pretty generally prophesied before the
season began that the distribution OF the So
prano roles would be o great strain on the
diplomacy OF Maurice Grau and result In Bit

had made practically her own here. and they
are both parts which are considered among
the best Media sings She got the part OF

Calve was anxious to sing here.

Elsa, and just where che would como In no.
