ADJUSTMENTS
CARE OF A BIG OPERA.

Few people can realize the immense
amount of care and thought which is
involved in a large comic opera pro-
duction, such as "A Country Girl and
THE Cingalee," two of the great Daily
theater productions that are to be
presented a the Keylor Grand theater
Monday and Tuesday.
The rehearsals at times prove sec
ondary to the thousand and one details
that must be accurately looked into,
in order to insure what might be term
ed complete production" remarked
Mr.. George Francis Beard. business
manager of the above attractions.
For instance, there are the scenic
artists with their ideas, and the de-
signer of the costumes; the people
who will make them; then comes the
millinery, together with gloves and
hosiery and slippers and properties,
etc. So that even when the company
is letter perfect after weeks of re-
hearsal, only then can anyone not
familiar with stage productions COM
prehend what it hears in staging two
massive plays like the above. 1t might
also be interesting to the ladies who
visit the presentation to know how it
is possible that the series of magnifi-
cent costumes. both oriental, ancient
and modern, are kept in such thorough

which the present large number of stu
dents caused each year.
The action of the alumni will be
communicated to DR.. PearsonS by
President Penrose. If he makes an
offer the work of raising the much
needed endowment will be actively
pushed.
Another important action by the
alumni association in the few brief
minutes which they met was de-
cision to resume the custom OF haV-
ing an alumni meeting during COM
mencement week. 1t has been felt by
large number Of the members of the
alumni that the organization of grad
yates has lost its distinct identity dur
ing recent years since the college coun-
ell was formed. that the alumni were
overshadowed by the faculty and
trustees which also belong to the
council.
Don't Like Cap and Giwn.
Besides this there is sentiment
among a number of the graduates of
the institution which is opposed to
wearing what is termed millinery" at
the meeting last night. These mem
bers want a meeting Of the graduates
where they will not be required to
wear the cap and gown which is pre-
scribed for the Commencement coun,
Gil meeting.
These two reasons resulted in the
decision to rehabilitate the alumni and

WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. 16.-The
opposition of the southern senators
was renewed this afternoon, wnen a
conference report containing the presi-
dents plan for excluding coolie Jap
anese labor was taken UP in the SEN
ate.
Aldrich the recognized tactica,
leader of the republican side, FASTENED
back from New York and the republic
can lines were strengthened. When
the report was taken up Simons raised
the first democratic voice in advocacy
of adopting it. He said the South and
the Pacific slope always stood together
in legislation and aimed to exclude
undesirable immigrants.
Although he would prefer certain
changes he said he would vote for the
report and expressed the hope that
nothing be done to bring about fric-
ton between the two sections, each of
which has serious race problems 10
settle.
He expressed regret that the Paci-
fic coasts efforts to exclude Japanese
should be brought into the senate
coupled with schemes the South has
for obtaining desired labor.
The Japanese question is acute,
over shadowing." he exclaimed, but it
should have been brought in separate
~"
The fight waXed warm when Du
Bots, who retires with this congress,
took the floor and pronounced his Op-
position to the administrations pro-
gram regarding Japanese labor. He
declared it had no rightful place in
the report because it was considered
by either house. 1t was drawn, said
he by the secretary of state under the
direction of the president and inserted
by six gentlemen in congress.
He exclaimed 1.-The president ought
not to be allowed to legislate in the
matter of so grave Importance" He
said the president had no right to in
terfere in the government of the San
Francisco schools.
Bacon followed in a denunciation
of the public charge that the oppo
nents to the report had withdrawn
their opposition to the vote because
of threats Aldrich made that the de-
| feat of the rivers and harbors bill
would result He said no such init
nation was conveyed to the minority
members.
| Til!man ironically referred to the re-
port that the big stick in New York
had wired a message of retaliation to
! the republicans and Depew interrupt
ed to announce he had received no
such communication. Tillman declar-
ed Depew was not the only senator
who got messages from New York.
