Ernest ooerIltz Announces the Safe
Arrival of the $50 Members at
New York-Incidents of
Recent Earthquake
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Ernest
Goerlitz, the general manager of the
Conried Metropolitan opera company,
returned to this city last night on the
overland limited. He was met at the
Oakland pier by Charles w. Strine, the
San Francisco manager of the most
promising operatic engagement in the
musical history of California, which
was so abruptly ended by the catas-
trophe which overwhelmed San Fran
cisco.
In the interim between Mr.. Goer-
litz's departure for New York in charge
of the company and the time of his
return the Conried interests here have
been guarded by Mr.. Strine.
Mr.. Goerlitz stated that every mem
Der of the company. $50 strong, had
been safely returned to New York.
None of the kilograms sent to Mr..
Conried from San Francisco and Oak
land on the day of the disaster ever
reached their destination, and the
suspense of the New York home office
was not relieved until Mr.. Conried re-
ceived a message from Mr.. Goerlitz
from Cheyenne.

ton Travelled east by New orleans.
while the safe return of the entire
company" said Mr.. Goerlitz, was
matter of general congratulation, the
mat erial losses Of the organization re-
sulting from the burning of the Grand
opera house were. appalling and will
not fall short of quarter of million
dollars.
1.-The complete equipment Of the full
tour, repertoire Of nineteen operas and
all the music, which of itself is an
almost invaluable item, was totally
destroyed and will have to be replaced
at an estimated cost of over $3.50 900.
Only $4,000 Insurance Carried
"The insurance on this outfit, owing
to the popularity of it's construction, is
only about $4,000. In addition to this
there is the loss of the preliminary
local expenses, the enormous cost of
transporting the company to and from
the coast and the financial settlements
with the artists, chorus, ballet, or
chestra and staff, which was effected
by Mr.. Conried in a most liberal spirit,
regardless of the fact that all con-
tracts were Immediately rendered in
valid by the act OF God"
Mr.. Conried sailed for Europe last
Saturday to make necessary prepara-
opera in New York, but before sail
ing he conferred upon Mr.. Goerlitz
full power to act as the representative
of the Conried Metropolitan Opera
company.
Patrons Receive Money Back
The purpose of Mr.. Goerlitzs return
to San Francisco at this time is to ar
range the refunding of the advance
sale for the unfulfilled portion of the
companys engagement in San Fran
cisco to the subscribers and purchasers
of tickets. The legal question Of such
obligation has not been considered,
but it was decided by Mr.. Conried
without moments hesitation that
every dollar rightfully belonging to
the most generous opera-going public
Of San Francisco should be returned.
1t has therefore been decided to open
an office at a convenient location in
the unburned district Of the city,
where all tickets presented or properly
vouched for by their rightful owners
will be redeemed in full. The formall-
ties necessary to protect the rightful
owners of tickets, as well as the COM
pany, are now being arranged by
counsel for the Metropolitan opera
corporation and the particulars will
be announced in the daily papers in
due time.
The office will be kept open for thirty
days, so as to allow ample time for the
presentation of all tickets or legiti-
mate claims for the same.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucuous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-

IN CONNECTION WITH SECRET SERVICE
PROMISING YOUNG OFFICER

OF DISSIPATION.
IN CONNECTION WITH SECRET SERVICE

LONDON, July 1S.-The Toxic cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph is
the authority for a remarkable story
which throws an interesting light on
the intricate methods employed by the
Japanese in their secret service. For
obvious reasons no names are given
in the story. A young and promising
japanese officer, of blameless charac-
ter, was suddenly called upon by the
dissipation in the interests of a state
cause, which was not divulged. Obed-
fence to superiors is the first law of the
Japanese officers life. Reluctantly the
youth did as he was bid, and in due
time, repugnant though the whole
proceeding was, he managed effectual-
", with sake and geisha, to ruin him.
self. He was spurned by his friends
and turned out of the service. The
chief of the staff then dispatched the
broken man on a mission to a neigh
boring country where a first-class
power was engaged in a conflict with
native rebels His military genius
soon made him the righthand man OF
the native chief and a price was
placed upon his head. The japanese
government knew nothing of the af-
fair, of course, but when the rebellion
was suppressed the young officer re-
turned to Japan with valuable infOr-
nation that, after some difficulty on
his part, no doubt found its way to
the government pigeon holes. Only
the oriental mind could conceive such
an expedient for the advancement of
patriotic interests. The correspondent
does not state whether the young
Japanese officer was reinstated, but
vouches for the truthfulness of the
story.
