OPERA DIRECTORS MEET.
-Mr. Conried apparently to Continue
as Head of MetropoLtan.

Heinrich Conried's relations TO the Metropolitan
opera House remain unchanged. and this probably
VIII be the case for long time TO come. Such was
the deduction drawn from the results OF the meet
ing OF the board of directors of the Metropolitan
opera and Real Estate Company held yesterday
afternoon in j. Pierpont Morgans private art mu-
scum In East Beth street "A proposition for an
extended lease Of the opera house presented to
the board by a committee of directors of the Con-
ried Metropolitan Opera Company. After a confer
ence of almost two hours the matter was laid over
until the next meeting, which will be, called within
a week.
Otto H Kahn, chairman of the executive commit
tee OF the directors OF the Conred Metropolitan
opera Company, was present with Edmund l. Bay
hes VINO is also a member of the same committee.
Ihey told the reporters that they honor bound
not TO discuss the terms of the proposed lease
which they had submitted The present lease by
which the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company
rents the house from tho Metropolitan Opera and
heai Estate Company is personal in that it is
framed to be operative only during the regime of
MI Conr1ed The lease. which is for a five years
term. was drawn two years ago. and therefore, is
to run unless altered by agreement until 1911.
IL was reported yesterday that the proposed new
lease would be binding even if Mr.. Conried should
cease 10 be managing director. This report COM
ing as ii does after so many rurnors regarding a
change IN the directorship Is most significant The
TACT that after prolonged meeting the board of
directors gave out only brief report stating that
action was deferred Is interpreted by persons IA
inliar with the situation TO mean that Mr.. Con-
REDS friends standing by him and will refuse

eliminating him from the Metropolitan

olr; In the verdict in the Thaw case just closed
the jury, N my opinion, and doubt not, in that
OF many others, has put premium insanity.
and has placed Thaw where he will be an OBJ
1ect lesson Of successful vlany all evidoers.
PHYSICIANS have done an immense good in search
Ing out diseases, their causes, prevention and
cure, but they would accomplish still greater
good II they would recognize the contagion of sin.

cannot help thinking that if this trial had been
that of a poor man, money involved in It, the
verdict would have been very different II am
correct in thus thinking how sad Is the reflection
that money, which when rightly used is one of
