WITHDRAWAL OF "SALOME"
CAUSES A HEAVY LOSS
Deficit of the New York Season of
Metropolitan Opera Company
Will Be About 100000

NEW YORK. March 2S.-The New
York season of the Metropolitan Opera
Company will close next Friday. and
it is estimated that the deficit will be
about 100000. Herr Conried is re-
ported to have said:
THE opposition opera has nothing to
do with the seasons losses. I attribute
a great part of this loss to the removal
of Richard Straus' 'Salome.' The re-
mainder of the deficit must be charged
to the loss of scenery and costumes in
the San Francisco fire last spring"
