Chicago, Feb. ga panic in the
Auditorium here during the grand
opera performance tonight was
averted by the presence of mind of
Miss Alice Nielsen. who was singing
the 'prima donna role. A small blaze
underneath the stage caused the stage
manager to order the steel fire cur
tain lowered. The sight of the bar
ripr and the smei! of smoke brought
the audience of more than 1000 per-
sons TO their feet in alarm. The dash
for the exit had already begun when
Miss Nielsen darted under the des-
cending curtain and called to the or
chestra conductor: "PlaY the Star
Spaneled Banner. "
Her voice rose over the tumult and
stilled the panic before she had fin
ished the first verse. Then the cur
tain was raised, firemen appeared on
the stage and reassured the audience,
and the opera was resumed after L
wild outburst of cheering on the part
of the audience.

of Probable Effects of Law,

Mr.. IT. A. JaStro, of Bakersfield and

querque Yesterday from Washington,
where they have been with other
prominent stockmen of the west and
southwest In connection with the pro-
posed law allowing government con-
troll and regulation of The public do
main, commonly known as the lease
law.
Mr. Jastro went to Washington as a
member of a special committee of
seven western stock growers ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt at the
suggestion of the American National
Live Stock association, to confer with
the public lands commission upon the
framing Of a law for the leasing OF
the public domain. Mr.. Luna went
at the request of the Nationa! Wool
Growers association and to look after
the interests Of the great sheep grow
ing industry of New Mexico. which Is
most vitally Interested In the proposed
legislation While holding somewhat
divergent views as to the wisdom Of
the proposed lease law and its prob
able effect upon the live stock indus
try of the west. both Mr.. Luna and
Mr.. Jastro are agreed that some such
law Is very likely to come and that
II Is likely to come with the next con-
gress. although its enaetion by this
congress has failed.

Just one week ago he came to town

ness Mr. Rogers was in is not clear
until afterwards. and now il is too
plainly clear. Rogers negotiated with
Mr. Berry for a piece of real estate,
finally bought the land and made out
check on the First National bank
for $3.50. This was to be in part pay
ment for the land. or an optional bar
gain.

A WORTHY CAUSE.

When the city council receives a
request from the board of police com.
missioners for an increased approprl
alton to provide for additional men
during the Exposition period and tc
grant an increase in pay for the DO
iicemen, the matter should be given
most careful consideration. If the
finances of the city will permit, the
full amount asked for by the commits
sioners will not be too much to give
the department.
1t Is absolutely necessary that ex.
ira men be provided for the
Tercentennial period-there is nc
room for argument on that subiec,
and the number of additional men
should not be small.
That the policemen are poorly paid
is generally admitted, and we believe
the city fathers will grant such ar
increase in salaries as the condition
OF the treasury will warrant.
