against further presentation of "Sa-
lone" the sensational opera by Rich
ard Strauss. has been made to Di-
rector Conreid of the Metropolitan
Opera house by the directors of the

house. The protest was presented in
the following letter signed by the sec

Dear Sir: The directors of the Met
ropolitan Opera and Real Estate COM
psny consider that the performance of
.Salome' is Objectionable and detri-
mental to the best interests of the
Metropolitan Opera house. They
therefore protest against any repeti-
ton this opera
rSalome'' is based on Oscar Wilde's
dramatic version of the biblical story
of the behead ding of John the Baptist
by Herod's order to satisfy the cap
rice OF Salome.
The presentation last Tuesday night
of the opera excited a great amount of
criticism, mostly directed at the text
OF the opera, the dance of the seven
wells performedssby Salome before
Herod. and the kissing of the lips of
the severed head of John the Baptist
by Salome.
The directors of the Conreid Met
ropolitan Opera company, lessee of

Dover, n. H. Jan. 26.-MiH No. 1 of
the extensive plant of the Cocheco Man
ufacturing company, manufacturers of
cotton goods. was burned today, caus-
ing financial loss estimated at be-
tween $500, 900 and 100000 and possible
loss of life.
The fire, the origin of which is not
known, broke out after the 500 opera

rapidly. Several of the workmen and
women jumped from windows. sustain
ing injuries. Others were taken from

diately began search which was without
result, until the flames drove them OUT

FIGHTS FREE SEED.
Scott of Kansas Says Might as Well
Distribute Lead Pencils

Washington. Jan. 26.-In connection
with the discussion of the agricultural
appropriation bill in the house there
was a general debate on the commit
tee appropriating $3.50 for the
purchase of and testing Of new, rare
and uncommon seeds, bulbs, trees,
shrubs and vines, and emitting the
usual appropriation for the purchase
of ordinary flower and garden seed
for distribution.
Mr.. Chandler of Mississippi charged
that the item in the present bill was
the work of lobby composed of seed
men of the country and of effective
newspaper work He said he could
not go back and look his dear old
farmer friends" in the face after the
increase of the salaries of congress-
men, if free seeds were not to be had.
Mr. Scott of Kansas in defending
the proposed plan of distribution OF
seeds said the department of agricul-
ture had suggested the amendment.
He thought the government with the
same propriety might give lead pen
ellis to the people and jack knives to
the boys as to give free seeds. He
said the press of the country. the agri-
cultural colleges and very largely the
farm journals were opposed to the
congressional distribution of seeds.

NOT ROOSEVELT.
Longworth Doesn't Believe the Presi-
dent Would Run Again.

Washington Jan. 26.-Nicholas Long
worth doesn't believe that his father
in-law could, by any possible develop
ment, be induced to accept the nom1na-
ton at the hands of the Republican ma
tional convention. An interview. part
of which was dragged out of Mr.. Long
worth by impairment questions, was
published here today. 1t is significant
chiefly because Mr.. Longworth is the
son-in-law of the president.
The Cincinnati congressman express
ly disclaims the expression of any views
except his own. He makes it very clear
that he does not pretend to speak for
the president on any of the matters
which he discussed. He was asked
whether if the Roosevelt third-term
league spread throughout the country
it would make any difference on the
presidents determination not to stand
for reelection.
I cannot conceive any condition or
combination of circumstances said he.
which would lead the president to
change his opinion on this subject He
made definite announcement on the
night of the election and has reaffirmed
that determination on more than one
occasion, and it seems to me that ought
to settle it,
The reporter continued to put hypo-
thetical questions to Mr.. Longwortn
and finally the Ohio congressman said:
portions worthy of the presidents no
tice. 1 would not be surprised if he re-
iterated the previous declaration.
Il cannot believe" said Mr.. Long
worth, in reply to still another question,
that the enthusiasm of some of the
presidents friends will carry them far
enough to make such action neces-
sary."
Mr. Longworth was asked whether
the president favored Secretary Taft.
He replied: Even if I knew that the
president had a favorite and so had eX-
pressed himself. L would not say SO. L
90 know, however that he considers
Secretary Taft one of the best equipped
men for the office in the country. But
the secretary may be unavailable in
1908, by reason of his appointment to
the supreme bench, for as you know he
is said~to be slated for judicial en-
ployment."
Mr.. Longworth would not venture to
predict the probable nominee of the Re-
publican convention, but said: Il have
an idea of the kind of man the con-
vention will select" And then he pro-
ceeded to tell what kind of a man it
would be. Said he:
Tn my judgment the nominee will
not be reaetionary. l mean by this
that the country will expect RepubIi-
can party to select man who is re-
sponsible to the moral awakening that
has been brought about during the last
few years-a man who typiffes the new
political thought and realizes the i'm
portance of completing the task that
already has been begun

HAIR WAS on FIRE.
Helen Linden Didn't Know She Was
Burning.

Little 4-year-old Helen Lindell,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. V.
Lindell of 1884 Fillmore street, had a
narrow escape from being burned to
death last night About supper time
she was playing with her doll and
while near an open gas burner her
dress caught fire unknown to the
child. = She cam e&intd~fhe.' room where
her mother was working and COM
menced to tell her mother about her
doll when Mrs. LindeIl noticed that
the hair of the child was on fire. With
a presence of mind generally unknown
TO members of her sex. Mrs. Lindell
threw a rug over the 1child's head and
body The flames spread downwa I'd
and consumed a good deal of the
child's clothing. Mrs. -Lindel1 threw
the rug around the child and finally
put out the fire.
The child was but little injured. She
was fortunate in having heavy under
wear on her person and the fire did
not get through the under clothing
excepting under her right arm where
there's is a little burn Her hair was
partially burned but the fire was stop
ped before it did much damage to her
hair. The child undoubtedly owes her
life to the fact that she happened to
come to the notice of her mother as
soon as she did and also to the fact
that her mother had presence of mind
enough to know what to do. After
the child had been saved and the fire
put out Mrs. LindeH was overcome by
the temporary nervous strain
