Nothing more pleasing than San
Toy, at the opera house Saturday
night, has been seen or heard in this
city. The scenery and movements,
designed for larger stage, were
somewhat crowded, but the singing,
both choruses and solos, was Of a high
order. The entertainment was en-
joyed the more because the hearers
very rarely have opportunity to see
aud hear a good comic opera.

PRINCESS WILL BE :
PROSECUTED AS THIEF
German Noblewoman, Accused of
Systematic Robbery Of Hotels Must
Defend Charges in Court.
By Publishers Press.


/ Berlin, July 14.-Great popular sat-
isfaction is taken over the announce
ment Of the decision Of the govern
mental authorities to prosecute tho
Princess Adolph Vrede on the charge
Of having been engaged in systematic
thefts.
/ It had been expected by the rich
and powerful relatives of the princess,
who had been accused Of stealing vaIu-
able silver and table linen from noted
hotels and private houses where she
had been guest, that the presentation
of a certificate showing that she was
a confirmed kleptomaniac, and in some
part mentally irresponsible, would
save her from the consequences of he1
alleged crime. =" As~l
In fact, it might have, had it not
been for the action Of the relatives
who succeeded in having the servant
who first made the charge that the
princess was thief, sentenced to nine
months imprisonment on a charge OF
blackmail, which it was freely asserted
had been trumped up. This fact caused
an outburst Of popular indignation
which compelled the authorities to re-
consider the matter and it is now con
fdently asserted that she will have tt
4 serve term in prison. s.s~
The minimum penalty that can bt
imposed under the law, should convic
/ tion be assured, is one years impris

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Isl /
BhD,WAT TERsDN SAYS
Government Too Intricate Now
|. Declares Noted Democrat
Bimetalism Dead.
BY Publishers' Press.

New York, July 14.-Colonel Henry
Watterson, the noted Kentucky editor,
who is spending his vacation at Man
haitian Beach, consented to talk politics
to reporter this afternoon, and, Incl
dentally, came out into the open with
the declaration that he is opposed to
governmental ownership.
Asked how William Jennings Bryan
can shake his sixteen-to-one arguments
and the supreme court propositions,
hold his enthusiastic friends and the
respect Of the conservatives, Mr.. Wat
terson said: t'
'Sxteen-t o-one,' as you call it, is
as dead as the institution Of African
slavery. The supreme court PROPOSE
ton is not doctrinal. Mr.. Bryan is ten
icalism and conservatism are not only
relative, but convertible terms. The
radical Of yesterday becomes the con-
sentative of today and sometimes vice
versa. Mr.. Roosevelt has made Mr..
Bryan look like conservative. The
country wants a change, and, after
Roosevelt, 1t will see no danger in
Praises Roosevelt.
On the question as to whether, aside
from Roosevelt g luck. what one thing
made him unusual, Mr.. Watterson re-
piled: ~'...
"Mr. Roosevelt is very able man
tive Personality, standing boldly Out I
in its salient aspects, and he ha,
played his hand well and in amazing
good fortune. Public opinion, how
ever, is a -wilful jade, and politics {
game Of chance. The late. Mr.. Joh1
Oakhurst was quite right when he sait
that there is nothing certain abou
cards except that luck will change
Two years hence may witness the presi
dent among the least popular Of men
but he will always have his courage
and his virtue with him, and they ar
whole he will have the right, in an,
event, to be very pleased with him
self.''
Government Too Busy Now.
On the question of government own
- ership Of railroads, Mr.. Watterson said
"The government has enough to d
already without reinforcing the part.
in power by the acquisition and pos
the telegraph and the railways, alon
with an army Of officeholders, HOY
should we get a change Of partie
short Of revolution9'
The net question was based on tn
story that H. H. Rogers says that Ell
!. terprise is counted a disease that tn
American public thinks ought to b
: legislated against, and Mr.. Watterso
| was asked whether it was irony or petr
: lance, and stricken vanity, to whic
l he replied:

past.
Commission Plans Test.

The law is to be tested. even should
the railways fail to take the initiative.
The Interstate commerce commission al.
ready have two complaints against ex-
listing rates, and these are to be fled
formally with it as soon as the new law
is operatives: At once the commission
will take up the question and after the
hearing will determine whether the old
rate is unjust, and # it is, name new
one in II sstead. This will offer We
hicle for a legal test, with which rail
ways will probably be satisfe ed. The
principal point is that law is to be
tested promptly. and such program
will be generally satisfactory. Under
the expedition clause, the appeal
ought to reach the supreme court in
time to be decided there within year
from the time the original decision of
the commission is rendered. -. -
This is the scheme in a nutshell The
initial steps for legal test were taken
at Chicago this week, probably without
the knowledge that the interstate com.
merce commission was itself preparing
| to precipitate matters. The activity OF
the pub 1icity bureau in this city is an
other sign of what is coming. From
! all of which it appears that the fight
| for a valid rate law is not yet ended.
