NORDICA AS vIOLETTA
The greatest treat that Nordica has
given San Francisco audience during
the present operate season came to her
auditors last evening with La Travi
ata" Not even Marguerite was sung
with such ravishing sweetness as was
the music of Violetta last evening. Nor
has any dramatic personation been
more effective than was Violetta in
the care of Nordica. The great repu-
tation of the prima donna has never
been more fully justified than 1t was
in the saddest and most tuneful of the
Verdi operas. The supporting cast
was not brilliant, but there was q
splendor about Nordicas singing, a
depth of sympathy in her treatment of
most pathetic to the more brilliant,
that were sufficing. While the French
horns and other instruments intoned
deliciously the voice of Nordica. full.
rich, limpid, adequate to all require
ments, directed with consummate skill,

scared above the melodious din that
was included in the ensemble magnid-
Gently. Nordica's opportunities opened
largely with the contrasted melodies
of "Ah fors lui" an andantino, and
'.Sempre libera degg'io," allegro bril-
lante. One caressing song and one
brilliant effort in close juxtaposition
showed that Nordica was singing in
perfect vocal trim and with enthusiasm
Applause burst spontaneously from
all parts of the house. The manifesto
tions of approval continually increased
until they eliminated at the close IF
the scene with five calls before the
curtain.
The Nordica performance cannot be
adequately described in words. 1t was
a memorable occasion to all hearers.
Signor Alemanni was the Alfred. His
voice is not what could be wished sls
an accompaniment and foil for Nor
dica's in a work of such pure melo-
diousness. Signer Giacconne filled the
role of Gastone with dignity and his
singing of "Di provenza il mar" was
excellently handled and quite tuneful.
Signor Pulcini did very well. But all
the operatic armament of the evening
was so full of Nordica that there was
no room for any one other star 10
twinkle to advantage by comparison.
The opera was handsomely staged.
The banqueting scene was especially
effective by reason of the large number
of persons on the stage and by their
collective vocal ability.

MANY PEASANTS KILLED
IN RIOTS IN R0UMANIA
Troops Fail to Quell the
Revolt and Situation
Is Aggravated

BUCHAREST, March 2S.-The efforts
OF the Government to suppress the re-
volt Of the peasants in Roumania have
met with only partial success The
troops are not acting with increased
energy. A large number of rioters
have been killed in the numerous con-
hicts with the soldiers. but as yet
there is no sign Of a permanent ameli-
oration OF conditions. On the contrary
the rioters appear bolder and more de-
termined and today the situation un-
doubtedly is aggravated.
At Tirgovistes. in the Argesh dis
trict. a band of peasants attempted 10
raid an arsenal yesterday and procure
a supply OF rifles and ammunition
Upon being repulsed by the troops the
rioters set FIRE 10 many houses in the
town.
At Vlaschka a band OF peasants re-
fused 10 disperse and opened fire on
on them, killing seventy men and
wounding many more. According TO
an unconirmed version of the encoun-
ter 200 peasants were killed.
A squadron OF Hussars sent TO Bra
bova came in conflict with a band OF
peasants and it is reported that fifty
peasants were killed. A serious en-
at Papanahabestic. in which many
4 peasants were killed or wounded.
The bombardment Of three villages
in the district OF Nlaschka in which

resulted in a very large casualty list,
but the exact numbers cannot be
learned. There have been sanguinary
encounters in the district of DolJa

THAW BEING EXAMINED
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Commission Orders Experts
and Ali Outsiders
From the Room
PRISONER ON STAND
Answers Questions Calmly
and Makes Favorable
Impression

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Harry K.
Thaw for two hours today submitted
himself TO a running fire of questions
from the three men appointed by JUS
tice Fitzgerald as a commission in
lunacy to determine his present state
of mind. The examination was con-
Quoted behind closed doors, and when
an adjournment was taken until 10
o'clock Saturday morning no one con-
nected with the hearing would discuss
the details of the inquiry.
The most important feature of the
days proceedings was the decision OF
the commission to limit the scope of it's
inquiry to the exact language of the
statute-to determine solely the ques-
tion as to whether or not Harry Thaw
is able ito understand the nature of the
court proceedings against him and is
able to advise his counsel in a rational
manner. District Attorney Jerome an
nounced to the commission that all OF
the legal experts ne had EMPLOYED in
the case had advised him that Thaw is
suffering from a typical case of para
noia, a disease of the mind in which
the recoveries are limited to per cent
He offered to adduce testimony to sup
port this statement, but the commission
waived IT aside. saying the purpose OF
the inquiry was very simple one and
had to do, not with any classification
of mental diseases, but with the prison
er's present state of mind. judged by
laymen.
The commission got under way with
a rush and plunged at once into the
personal examination of the defendant
District Attorney Jerome protested at
first that he was not able to proceed
saying he would like to have his
medical advisers present. The COM
mission forthwith settled the matter
of the presence of experts by exclud-
ing them from the room, along with
every one else except the defendant
and his counsel. the District Attorney
and Assistant District Attorney Gar
van.
II is stated that during most of the
two hours Thaw was before the COM
mission this afternoon the notes and
letters he has written to his counsel
since the trial were under considera-
tion. II was said that he answered the
questions calmly and went into lengthy
explanations of the notes he had ad-
dressed to Delmas while his trial was
in progress. These notes and letter:
were made a part of the affidavit filed
4 by. Delmas with Justice Fitzgerald
/ when Thaw's counsel were opposing
1 the appointment of d commission.
Thaws examination was not con
I cluded today and he will appear before
the commission when it meets Saturday
morning, no session being scheduled fo
tomorrow, Good Friday. The Satur
day session will be held behind CLOSED
/ doors. The commission did not deter
mine whether or not physical exam
ination of the defendant would b.
necessary.

tion that If Taft were to win be must

Becase Foraker and Dick control the

Senator Foraker, Notwithstanding his
afiliation with the machine, is in favor
of an open and fair contest Nothing
could be fairer than this. and as the
opponents Of the organization have
heretofore insisted upon primary law
they cannot offer objections to the For
aker proposition. It is therefore ap-
parent that Foraker intends 10 fight to
the last, and then, if the primary vote
is against him, to capitulate as grace
fully as the circumstances will permit

II was learned today that Senator
Murray Crane of Massachusetts, who is
known here as the original Mr.. Fix
It." and who is always interposing tc
straiRhten out a tangle, has been med
ding in the Ohio situation. He made
several suggestions Of compromise to
Senator Foraker, to which the Senator
is quoted as replying:
Every suggestion that has come tc
me has provided for my retirement in
order to make the road clear for Taft
If some OF you people will suggest that
Taft get out of my way L will con-
slider it."
Foraker's statement has drawn the
President into the fight, and he is there
to stay not because he is openly ad-
vocating Tafts nomination, but be-
cause he does not want the administra-
ton repudiated by the voters of Ohio
Because Of the stand in favor of pri-
