ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
LUDWIG.

Although the voice of Josephine Ludwig
of st. Louis will not be heard abroad dur
ing the coronation ceremonies, it is highly
vocally known to Londoners at Covent Gar
den later in the year. A contract with the
opera managers now awaits her signature.
Eighteen months ago the songstress, then
a bride, was with her husband in New York.
a friend introduced her to Mr.. Savage of
the Castle Square Company. He heard her
sing. He was pleased. prepared a contract
and gave her one day in which to accept
or reject il. She accepted. From the time
she made her debut as Marguerite in Chi
cago till now, her steps have been of adj
vansement. Her friends see no reason why
this progress should not continue. Miss Lud-
wig herself is hopeful and enthusiastic. She
still likes to play Marguerite, and her IA
vorite photo is one in which Marguerite Is
holding a prayerboOk 10 her cheek. But she
likes the roles of Elsa in 'Lohengrin' and
Elizabeth in "Tannhaeuser' best. 1t is in
these that she will be heard at Covent
Garden

ton of traffic matters in Colorado and
Utah, the executive officials OF the lines
east of the river were equally unable TO
make firm pledges that rates would be
maintained for another month.
The fight which the Goulds have begun
for reorganization as IL trans-contineatal
factor through the Ogden Gateway. is
the explanation Of the withdrawal OF the
Missouri Pacific from the Colorado and
Utah Association, and the refusal of its
officials up to date To re-euter. Through
their possession of Rio Grande roads. the
GouIds are laying claim to It large per-
centagc Of the through traffic from the
coast.
Should the Hartman people refuse TO
turn over to the Gould connections the
amount OF traffic, the cioulds think they
are entitled 70. the result will be probe
matte. Should the eioulds decide to get
the amount OF traffic they arc claiming
their position entities them to, rates
would undoubtedly 90 cut, as they were
in December and the bulk OF the traffic
would go from Ogden by way OF Grand
Junction and Pueblo, where 1t would ho
delivered to the Missouri Pacific for ST.
Louis and the East.
II is also understood that refusal on
the part of the Hartman people TO ae-
cetie to the demands OF the Goulds would
mean an alliance between the Gfoulds and
