EyenstEe grey hairs and long
experience Of the venerable Sea
ator from Massachusetts have not
saved him from Hdmercif'l ridi-
cule by his republican colleagues
who will stop at nothing in order
to save their trust friends from a
measure which would prove so OBJ
noxious to monopoly. The Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, made an
able defense of his bill but it fell
upon deaf ears and there is little
like .ihood of its ever passing the
Senate.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-01-17

Over fifteen senators have in
Dictated their intention to speak on
the subject of statehood for the
territories. Tuesday Senator Hoar
addressed the Senate on the sub
iect of his antitrust bill and At
torney General Knox has sent IN
his opinion regarding anti trust
legislation. Senator Foraker is
ably seconding Senator Quay in
the Statehood fight and the result
is apparently interminable delay.
Of course, as Senator Quay says,
this could be easily obviated if the
republicans would merely fulfil
their pledges made in the national
platform and grant statehood to
the three territories, but so in
tense is the fear that the propos
ed states might add to the demo
cratic strength in the Senate that
it is evident statehood will be
granted only as a last resort
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-01-17

A peculiar situation confrOnts
the members of the United States
Senate, q situation satisfactory to
Il considerable number of the re-
publicans and equally unsatisfac
tory to others. Several legisla
tive bills are ready for action and
number of antitrust bills repose
in the Senate committees but
practically all legislation is block
ed by the Statehood bill and it is
already predicted that when it is
disposed of there will be no time
left for legislation other than the
regular appropriation bills, no
one of which has yet passed the
Senate. TO that element of the
party which wishes to see the anti
trust bills crowded off the tapis,
Senator Quay persistent adyoca-
cy of the Omnibus Territorial bill
ismost gratifying, but to Senator
Proctor, for instance, who is anX-
lous to secure the passage of the
Malta Reorganization bill and to
Senator Lodge, who is working
Tor the passage of the immigration
bill, and to a few senator's who
fear that in the absence of trust
legislation by this Congress, the
President will call the next in
special session, the Statehood
blockade is most annoying.

Senator Lodge cast n bomb in
to the ranks of the high proction-
lists by Introducing bill remoy-
ing the duty on anthracite coal for
q period of ninety days, for the
immediate relief of the consumers
There is, however, no likelihood
of the passage of the mesure. In
fact it is necessary that measures
affecting the revenus must origi-
nate in the House and Mr..
Lodges bill is regarded as mere
buncome. Nevertheless the dem
ocrats are preparing to make a
fight on the subject and will at
least force the opposition to show
its hands SenOator Vest electro
fed the Senate with one of his
brilliant and dramatic speeches in
favor of free coal but, probably to
no purpose.

1t is now generally conceded
that the Cuban treaty will be rat
flied, although with some possible
notifications at the behest of the
beet sugar trust. Mr.. Oxnars
has said that the continued rgita
lion of possible tariff would
prove more injurious to the trust
than the proposed reduction in IA
yor of Cuba and that has left thste
senators who have ostensibIy OPP
posed the treaty because they
CLAIMED it would work an injury to
the sugar producers but whose
real antagonism was based on their
unwillingness to have a single
Dingley schedule modified, with
out an argument on which to base
furthur opposition.

WR|GHTS SETTLE
THEIR TROUBLES
Dismiss More Than Forty
Suits in Which They
Were Engaged.
Struggle for Control of Prop
critics Adjusted Out
Of Court.

The Wrights of San Jose-Myra E
Wright, her husband, W. H, and Frank
V. Wright-who for the last two years
have occupied the attention of the Su-
perior courts in three different counties
San Francisco, San Joaquin and Santa
Clara-have settled all their differences
and have taken themselves and their
troubles out Of the courts. Yesterday
more than forty dismissals of suits in
which the Wrights were plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS were filed in the Office of the
County Clerk here. and the announcement
was made that their various claims had
been adjudicated outside of the courts.
The announcement and the filing of the
dismissals is the closing act Of one OF
the bitterest family rows that ever was
brought into the courts of this State.
1t was early in 1901 that the three
Wrights first came into court. In that
year a suit was filed by Myra e. Wright
and her husband, w II. Wright against
Frank V. Wright to DE- termine the rights
Of each in the holdings of the Jersey
Island Packing, Company, in which the
three were interested The defendant in
this action filed a counter suit in which
he made charges equally as sensational as
those Incorporated in the complaint of
his brother and his wife. The actions in
volved the title to the possessions of the
Jersey Island Packing Company Before
they were settled another action was
commenced, the second suit being due to
a row over the actions of Frank V.
Wright in connection with the Jersey
Island Dredging Company. This suit also
brought forth bitter answer and counter
claim Then came an action over the
properties of the California Asparagus
Company, in which the Wrights were in
terested. This was followed by suit in
volving the assets and liabilities of the
San Jose Fruit Packing Company The
last action brought was one to recover
possession of stock in the Bay and River
Dredging Company. The suit over the
holdings of the Jersey Island Packing
Company was bitterly fought. for it in
volved a large amount 1t resulted in a
judgment for $S9.95S for Myra E Wright.
The entire property involved is worth
$3.50, O0o
Fully twenty-five attorneys were re-
tanned by the plaintiffs and defendants
in the various actions. The principal ones

BOTH SMITH AND O'BRIEN
ESTABLISHED AN ALIBI
Charge Against Them of Robbing
Harry Elmers, Grocer, Is
Dismissed.

John Smith and Dennis OBrien. ex-
convicts and suspected saloon robbers.
were able to present a complete alibi
before Police Judge Fritz Yesterday in
regard to the charge of robbery against
them by Harry Elmers a grocer at 1916
Sacramento street, and were discharged
from custody.
The Judge remarked that there had
been no hold-ups in saloons since the ar
rest OF Smith and OBrien by Detectives
Oman and Wren, but he could not legally
take cogniZance of that fact as evidence
against the defendants. He also pointed
out that Elmers did not identify either of
the men when he first saw them in the
City Prison and it was not until three
days later that he identified Smith.
Smith on leaving the courtroom was ar
rested by Detectives Oman and Wren
and taken back to the City Prison, as
he is wanted on a charge of burglary in
Oakland. He was later taken across the
bay by Detective Holland. He is &C
cused of having broken into a room in
the Windsor House, at Ninth and Wash
ington streets, Oakland. along with
George Dunbar, who was arrested at the
time.

try. For a time they were parted but
were reunited in this city and filled an
engagement at the Tivoli. So great was
the tenor's affection for the contralto that
in Carmen he played with a burning heart
and in an air of reality seldom impaired
to the theater. In the love parts he was
spontaneous and when the end came he
created a thrilling scene. Every word ne
spoke and every note he sang conveyed
a message the depth of which the audi
ence never fully understood. On the
stage as well as in life he worshiped the
woman as a goddess.
Collamarni's tastes run in the direction
of glittering gold and fine dress. She
was an expensive companion for Russo,
but he catered to her every desire and
humored her every within. What he
earned was hers to dispose of as she
liked
When the couple left this city they
Travelled for a time on the road then
went to Italy. In the country. near Milan,
they purchased a small villa and lived
among the sylvan hills life of compare
tive peace. Russo never suspected dis
loyalty on the part of the singer and it
was not until recently that he discovered
what portion of her love was given to
him. With the innocence of a child he
obeyed her command one morning and
started on a journey to a point fifteen
miles from the villa. When he came back
at nightfaIl she was gone and with her

~ HE tragic finale Of Bizets opera,
Carmen" with its love and in
trigue, its blood and passion,
II promises sooner or later to be en-
acted in real life. Such fore
boding might be commonplace were II not
for the fact that the principal roles in
the cast Of realism may be filed by actors
whose production Of the scene of jealousy
and fury under the glare of the calcium
has brought emotion and animation to
many audiences.
Signor Domenico Russo swears to slay
SignoriDa Estefania Collamarini not as
he has slain her a thousand times mimic
ally before the footiights. but with the
Vindictiveness OF a lover driven to madness
by the pangs Of desertion. AS in the play
an Escamillo has come between these two
gifted people and little Russo with the
blood of a Don Jose IN his veins would
have revenge for the loss of his Carmen
at the Doniard's point.
Many times Russo and Collamarini have
worked side by side through the mimic
situations of playdom. Russo wooes and
wins his love, loses her TO the daring
toreador and then appeases his wrath in
murder Standing at the gates of the
circus at Seville he implores the tickle
Carmen to return his love. When she re-
fuses to hear his prayers he kills her in
despair.
Since leaving this city. where they ap-
peared together at the Tivoli Opera house,
the story Of their lives has been the par
allel of the opera in which they won
plaudits.

Events have transpired that drove the
tenor to penury and misery and he Is now
at a resort near Fairfax nursing broken
heart and vowing vengeance. The gay
CoIlamarini, who went from here with
