WILL SING IN THE THEATER,
News Creates Musical Sensation Lo-
cally--Coming as Unexpected as
II is Pleasing.

a telegram received by Manager
Pyper of tho Salt Lake Theater from
ais booking agents In New York
caused something OF a sensation at
the theater today The dispatch
brought the news that Madam Nor
dica and Alice Nelson. who head the
san Carlos Opera company, managed
by the famous impressario, IL II. Rus
sell, would visit us in April on their
return from Los Angeles. The News"
sometime ago mentioned that the COM
pany was going west by the southern
route and returning east by the north
ern. Evidently there has been
change of plans as the return Will
now be from Los Angeles to Salt Lake.
What the operas Will be is not yet
known and the prices OF admission are
also as yet unannounced. Nordica
has never appeared In opera in Salt
Lake though she has several times
sung in the Tabernacle. Alice Nelson
has not appeared here since the days
OF the Singing Girl and the Fortune
Teller" though OF late years she has
confined her work entirely TO grand
opera.
The two stars sing on alternate
nights, Nordica OF course, appearing
in the heavier operate roles, and Mel
son in those of a lighter character.
Manager Pyper's further announce
ments regarding this engagement will
be waited with eagerness on the part
OF the music loving public.

Those at Chicago Are Taken uE
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
ADVANCE IN THEM JUSTIFIED
BY Chester NJ. Dawes of the Burling-
ton--His Road Has Queer Way
OF Keeping Books.

Chicago, Jan s.--The inquiry intn
the management and trade arrange
ments of the Hartman lines was not
taken up at the first session OF the
Interstate commerce commission to-
day. 1t was announced. however. by
Chairman Knapp that 1t would prob
ably be called up later in the day.
Cattle rates and the terminal charges
at Chicago on shipments of stock oc-
cupied the opening session.
Chester VI. Dawes of the Burlington
road, asserted that Il was not pos
aible for him TO furnish certain statis-
tics regarding shipments which had
been requested by Atty Cowan, repre-
sentiug the Texas Cattle Growers as
ISOLATION, Mr. Cowan declared that
other roads had furnished these figures
and 1t should be possible for tho Bur-
lington TO do the same.
1t is expected that the inquiry into
the management of the Hartman
lines will be in connection with the
traffic arrangements, and that the
financial side of the question win not
be taken up.
Mr., Dawes contended that the ad-
vance in cattle rates was justified by
excessive amounts OF damages paid
&c cattle shippers.
Mr. Cowan asked for the amount of
damages paid by the Burlington. Mr..
Dawes said he did not have It and that
the Burlington road had not kept It's
books in such manner as to render
the figures available.
You come here and justify advanced
rates" said Commissioner Prouty, ''by
claiming damage and decline to say
what these damages are. That Is hard
ly fair. IL you have not kept your
books as you should, that does not alter
the facts in the case"
Perhaps not" said Mr.. Dawes. but
we have not so kept our books"
The matter was finally settled by the
statement of Mr.. Dawes that the dam
ages did not exceed those on the Santa
Fe road and he would accept the au-
thoritative figures given by that line
as being representative of conditions on
the Burlington.
j. w kendrick, vice president of the
Santa Fe road, was the next witness.
He declared that he considered the
present rates on cattle from Texas to
be professionally low.
The evidence OF Vice President Ken
drick did not develop anything ma
terlal and he was followed by General
Manager Turner of the Pecos Valley
division OF the Santa Fe road. He
declared that the road had led no class
OF dead freight that III not pay better
than handling of livestock at present
rates.

THE CAR SHORTAGE.
Gould Says Railroads Are Not En-
tirely to Blame.

New Orleans, Jan, S.--George ].
Could head of the Gould railroad sys-
TENS is quoted today on the car short
age problem as follows:
1.-THE car shortage Is not altogether
the fault of the railroads. The big car
users are partly responsible in not pre-
pairing loading and unloading facilities
in proportion TO the business. Mer-
chants and shippers have failed to take
account OF the increase by many times
OF the amount in business handled by
them. This is what the railroad man
has TO contend with In Pittsburg, Chi
cago and other manufacturing sections,
and it applies as we'll to New Orleans
in lesser degree. The general pros
perity of the country is to blame as
well as the growth of new sections"
