CHANTED HYMNS OF JOY
Old Believers in Moscow Grateful for
Religious Freedom
BY Associated Press


MOSCOW, May lin accordance
with the emperor's gift of religious
freedom. the church in the Rogohzsky
cemetery, which Is to the Old Believers
what the Kremlin cathedral is to
orthodox Russians and had been sealed
up for 40 years. has been reopened with
Easter services.
A procession of Old Believers march
ed to the long silent temple chanting
hymns of joy and eXultation, but
when the seals were broken from the
doors of the church the condition of
the interior which was disclosed
caused the note of gladness to be
changed to one of sadness. The litur-
gical books and sacred pictures after
a half century of seclusion. has gather
ed a deep coat of mold, and the in
terror hangings were only tattered
threads of tapestry while the floors
and walls We're damp and dusty.
The rich members of the sect are
contributing a fund for the restora-
ton of the interior of the church to lis
original splendor.
The service was attended by the pre-.
feet of police and Gen. Gallitzin, aide
de camp of the emperor. who was the
bearer of the latter's decree granting
religious freedom. The worshipera
knelt before Gen Gallitzin and begged
him to express their gratitude to the
emperor, and many of the congrega-
tion loudly invoked the Almightys
blessing on his majesty. An important
delega tion of Old Believers is going ;o

Fourteen years and four months ago
yesterday Mr.. Gibbon filed articles Of
incorporation at Sacramento for the Los
Angeles Terminal railway which was to
run through Los Angeles, Pasadena
and Glendale.
The first president was B. F. Hobart
Of st. Louis, Mo. He was succeeded
by George B. Geighton, with d. p Bur-
nett as first vice president and general
manager. Sickness forced his resigna-
presidency and that of T. E. Gibbon
TO the first vice presidency.
Senator Clark at Head
This regime continued until 1901
when Senator w. A. Clark became
interested in the possibilities of line
from Salt Lake to the sea and the road
under its present title was organized
with Senator Clark as president Mr.
Gibbon became third vice president
and general counsel.
In 1902 the first earth was thrown in
the construction of the new road, and
the work has been continued untiringly
since that time. In the autumn of the
same year that work was commenced
the Salt Lake purchased 800 miles of
road from the Oregon Short Line,
which gave it an already complete en-
trance into the Mormon city.
Railroad men say the Salt Lake is
the best newly constructed road in the
United States. No expense has been
spared in building or equipment and
Senator Clark's remark: I'VE wish 20
make it as eternal as the mountains
and the deserts through which 1t is
to pass" is borne out by the lavish
expenditure of between thirty-hve and
thirty-seven millions of dollars.

WiTTE ABLY DEFENDED
Opposed Retention Of Manchura and
Events That Led to War
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May IN. An
gurieff, formerly an assistant of NJ.
Witte. president of the committee Of
ministers, undertakes the defense of
his former chief against the charges
that he was in any manner RESPONSE
BILE for the Manchurian adventure or
the events which brought on the war.
On the contrary, NJ. Angurieff proves
by means of hitherto unpublished doc
uments that NJ Witte opposed the Man
churian plans throughout in the most
energetic manner and intimates that
it was really his opposition to the
scheme in the far east which led to his
downfall as financial minister.
M. Angurieff says that in the first
place NJ. Witte was not responsible for
the Siberian railroad. It's conception
and execution belonged to his prede-
cessor as finance minister, M Wychne-
gradski.
M. Witte was opposed to the seizure
of Port Arthur in 1898, but was over
ruled by the advice of Count Muravieff,
the minister of foreign affairs, who
submitted alleged proofs that Great
Britain intended to seize the port if
Russia did not Subsequently M. Witte
opposed the retention of Manchuria.
Showed StatesmanIike Foresight
After the Boxer uprising, M. Witte
presented a memorandum to the en-
peror pointing out, with the foresight
of a statesman, Manchuria and Korea
a territory for the extension of Japan's
growing acticity. which was to her a
matter of life or death. and adding
that Russian occupation of that ter
ritory was bound to lead to a clash
and eventually to war.
When he again was oVerruled, NJ
Witte advised the immediate construc-
ton of the Circum-Baikal railroad for
strategical purposes in preparation for
the conflict which he saw ahead. Later,
when the situation became acute. see
ing that Russia was not prepared M.
Witte urged at least the temporary
withdrawal of the Russian forces from
Manchuria.
He then wrote to the emperor as
fellows: "Instead of making an enemy
of Japan we should win her friend
ship. l strongly advise friendly
solution. We need to populate our
eastern provinces and have vital in
terests to defend in the eventual war
with the yellow race, in order that the
peasants of Russia may understand
what they are fighting for"
All NJ. Wittes warnings were un-
needed and he was no longer consulted.

MUSICAL NOTES

The pupils recitals given by; Mrs.
Inga E. Olund are invariably interest
ing and artistic. The one given Friday
evening at the residence of Mrs John
A. Humbird, of Dayton avenue, served
to introduce number of talented
audience of invited guests. Certain
valuable vocal characteristics Mrs.
Olund's pupils share in common. In
variably- they sing without effort, their
enunciation is clean and clear and
their diction shows special training.
These good qualities were in evidence
Friday night, but some of the singers
introduced were specially gifted. Mrs
Fred Mahfer, who has brilliant coll
oratura soprano, sang with decided
success recitative and air from
Verdfs La Traviata.' Mrs Mahler
also sang two short songs, Spanish
Romance, by Sawyer, and the Patti
Waltz Song, by Pattison. Her singing
was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Karo-
line Monk, a genuine contralto, showed
the luxuriant quality of her voice in q
group of songs that included without
Thee, by d'Hardelot; Itch Liebe
Dich,' by Grieg, and where Blooms
the Rose" by Clayton Johns. Miss
Teresa M. Miller. who has a charming
mezzo- soprano voice, sang two groups
of songs, For All Eternity by
Marcheroni; .Ich Liebe Dich, For
ster; 'Fruhling Zeit," by Becker, and
Lullaby, by Gertrude Clarke Others
who successfully took part in the pro-
gramme Friday evening were Miss

recalls the sad details of the first pro-
duction of that masterwork, on March
., 1875. Everything seemed to be fa-
Yorable at the outset. The house in
which 1T was given (the Opera
Comique) was at that time much in
vogue, Bizet had won some fame, and
his librettists, Meilhac and Halevy,
were~very popular. For the title role,
moreover, the manager had been so
lucky as to secure Nine. Galli-Marie
VINO is described as having been a
warm blooded and most fascinating
Carmen. Yet the performance was re-
ee1ved by the audience with icy in
difference. Poor Bizet, who knew he
mad given the best that was in him,
was heartbroken. He waited till the
last person had left the theater; then he
went In the street, arm in arm with his
friend Guiraud, and sobbed bitterly.
Ihe next day the press was practically
unanimous in damning his opera; some
of the critics found it too "Wagnerian,"
others censured 1t as not having de-
parted far enough from the comic opera
traditions, and not few abused it as
being immoral! The manager himself
held this view. When a prominent
politician wrote to him for some seats
for the final rehearsal, he replied: tT
send you herewith a box, but you had
better not bring your family until you
have seen whether it is not too i'm
moral for them to witness
San Francisco has again gone daft
over Paderewski The Musical Cour-
ier's correspondent writes that his per-
formances of LISTS second Rhapsody
brought the audience up standing and
caused men to whistle like gallery
gods for very excitement, and yell like
wild Indians for joy, women to wave
their handkerchiefs, and the whole
house to act as if it had suddenly gone
mad" AS Paderewski plays only the
| best music, such enthusiasm is a good
sign. Times have changed in that city
since the days when Hertz gave con-
certs there Q850). That pianist at his
last concert was assisted by cornet-
+ ist and "prima DONNA" and the an
nouncement went abroad that he would
perform composition for four pianos.
The Alta California remarked there
upon: "a great many people received
the impression that Hertz was to play
on four pianos himself, wherefore the
house was SO crowded, Hertz played
with his usual spirit and delighted his
audience, but those who expected to
see and hear him perform upon four
pianos at the same time were little
disappointed
King Leopold attended a recent
meeting of the Belgian Academy of
Music and requested the eminent
scholar. F. A. Gevaert, to write ma
tional hymn for the Congo. Gavaert
replied that it was extremely difficult
to write a satisfactory patriotic hymn
to order; but as the king adhered to
his request, he went home and wrote
one with the title Of Expansion beige
The melody is a modification of one
that appears in his popular cantata,
Jacob van Artevelde.'
