NO OVERTUREs IN
MINERS STRIKE

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 26.-The report in
Goldfeld this morning that the strike
had been settled is absolutely unfound-
ed. Outside the miners union hall is
bulletin board, and written on 1t this
morning was the following: There is
no settlement"
The mine owners claim that no over
lures have been made to them by the
miners and the miners state that no
overtures have been made by the mine
owners to them. Matters are at
standstill.
1t has been denied that a committee
has been appointed by either side for
the purpose of meeting and settling
the strike. There is no doubt, how
ever. but that they will meet each
other very soon.
Despite everything the feeling is that
the mine owners and miners are bound
to come to terms within the next few
days.
United States marshals were station
ed yesterday to guard the mines, but
the engineers refused to work IL they
were allowed to stay. This settled the
question and the marshals departed.
Most of the mines and all the leases are
working. Most of the miners on strike
are doing assessment work, and every
thing bids fair for a speedy settlement.

MAYNARD GIRL IS
LOCATED HERE

Volna Taut, the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of U. s, Taut of Tulare County, and
a recent graduate of the Stockton Bust
ness College, was found in this city
yesterday after an absence from home
that had greatly alarmed her parents.
Policemen c. j. Wade and E. J..
Plume, who had been detailed to work
on the case, discovered the missing
girl after a search of two days, in a
lodging house at 1927 Golden Gate ave-
nue., where she had been placed by a
chauffeur, whose name she steadfastly
refuses to divulge.
Immediately after receiving her
diploma from the business college the
girl came to this city to accept posi-
tion as stenographer for a local auto
mobile agency. and few days after
her arrival she ceased writing to her
parents. The father came here two
days ago in seach of his daughter and
Immediately asked the aid of the police
department.
The wayward girl was locked up at
the Bush street station on the technical
charge of vagrancy. The broken
hearted father made strong plea to
be allowed to take the girl home with
him. but disposition of the case cannot
be made until it is taken up in the
Police Court today.

ing coterie. And how all of them sing
Right up from their chests roll the
vocal volume that makes the ensembles
so well worth hearing.
Persistent rehearsal was clearly re-
f1ected by the improved work of the
orchestra last night Signor Lebegott
had his men under more perfect con-
troll, and it was needed, as the Doni-
zetti music called for more individual
execution from strings and lighter
woodwinds than was necessitated by
the Verdi score the preceding night.
The harpist, Lucia Cimini, played a
solo preliminary to the lifting of the
second curtain and was rewarded with
an encore almost as insistent as that
which compelled a repetition of the
sextet.

Tromben in Title Role Of Lucia IS
Handicapped by Comparison
Her Art Is Weighed
Against That of
Tetrazzini
By James Crawford

ltinerant producers of Italian grand
opera are passive slaves of usage. and
San Francisco's loyalty to its operate
idols is not easily shaken
For the existence of this combination
OF circumstances the Signorina Adelina
Tromben. prima donna coloratura So
prano of the Lambardi company, has no
reason 10 feel grateful, and I will ex-
plain why.
II is the invariable custom of the
1mpresSariO to open a season with a
heavy Verdi opera, either Aida" or
"Rtgoletto," and to present a -Donizetti
work. Lucia" preferred-ass "a second
Offering. Aida" was Signor Lambar-
dis initial production at the Central
Theater, and the tremendous hit scored
by il was rather reflective of sound
shrewdness on his part, but the pres
tige he thus acquired was counter
balanced by the blundcr he committed
by presenting Lucia" as his second
opera For was it not almost equiva-
lent 10 inviting comparison of the
Signorina Tromben's singing of the
title role with the Signorina Tettra-
zinfs warbling of it little more than a
year ago at the Tivoli-the Tettrazini
whom San Francisco took to its music
appreciating heart and crowned the
queen of all Lacias it had ever heard,
not excluding Patti or Melba or Sem
brich?
While the Signor Lambardi may not
have intended to have such comparison
drawn. the fact remains that San Fran

DECISION AGAINST
PRESS FEEDERS

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-By a decision
handed down by the Supreme Court Of
Illinois today four union press feeders.
including the president and the sec
retary of Franklin Union, will be
obliged to go to jail for periods rang
ing from thirty days to six months.
The two officials of the union must also
pay fines.
This decision ended a fight in the
courts which had lasted for four years.
During the strike in 1902 of the MEM
bers Of Franklin Union against the
printing shops of the Chicago Typoth-
etae the men violated an Injunction
forbidding the picketing of the strike
bound establishments Sentences and
fines were imposed by the lower courts.
The four men who will be committed
to Jail under the decision are Charles
Werner. president; John NJ Shea. Sec
retary; Harry Brown and Michael Flan-
merry.
