Madame Butterfly" which Henry w.
Savage is to send to the Mason for hVe
performances and which is now re-
garded as the most fascinating grand
opera ever introduced in America, was
originally produced at the La Scala
Milan, February II, 1904, with Storchlo
as Madame Butterfly and Campanlnl as
conductor. 1t was again tried at
Bresica May 2S of the same year. with
Krusceniski as Butterfly and quickly
proved a wonderful success throughout
all italy. Since then it has become the
greatest success of years at Naples,
Budapest, London and New YORK anu
recently added another bouquet OF
praise to It's collection by sweeping
music loving Paris and Berlin with a
storm of enthusiasm. 1t was produced
at Covent Garden, London, July 10, 1905,
and was so popular that Queen Alex =
andra herself occupied the royal Don
at every performance during its first
season. Since then it has held its place
as the best loved opera In decade at
the home of grand opera in LONDON:
MIR. Savage's production at Washing
ton, d. c., last year was the hrst
presentation of the work in English In
the world and its first production IN
America. The phenomenal results that
attended his companys performances
have been truly sensational. In New
York. with run of fifty consecutive
performances, Madame Butterfly
shattered all records in the history or
grand opera.
The opportunity to hear this widely
famous work at the Mason may be
counted the one rare musical treat OF
the year and will be taken advantage
of by all classes of theater goers' pota
in Los Angeles and surrounding cities

SAYS WIFE LOCKED
HUSBAND IN PRISON
SENSATIONAL CHARGES PRE-
FERRED IN WILL CONTEST
Attorney and Fifteen Witnesses In
Carithers Case, Involving Be-
quests Worth $4,000,
Arrive from Illinois

An attorney, accompanied by fifteen
witnesses. many of whom hope to be
benefited as the result of a contest over
the will of William b. Carithers. who
died October II, 1906. reached Los An
geles yesterday from Illinois ana VIII
be on hand in Judge BordwelPs depart
ment of the superior court Wheh the
petition of Robert Carithers, a brotner
of the deceased. will be considered.
The estate left by Carithers, accord
ing to the contestant, amounts to pc.
tween $45, 900 and $4,000, and 1t belleved
If the petitioner is successful in his
suit for the revocation of VIII pur-
ported to have been made by Carithers
August IS, 1906, a number of others VIII
be benefited.
According to the terms of the will a
sister of the deceased, Mary Hipsley OF
Table Grove, ILL.,, is given an undivided
one-half interest in a store building
and lot in that place, the residue OF the
estate going to the widow, Mrs. Della
\. Carithers.
The will was admitted to probate in
November. a year ago, and the widow
was appointed executrix of the estate.
September 20, last year, the contest
petition was filed, and in this request
some sensational charges are made
against the widow and others.
Robert Carithers, in addition to claim
ing that he received no notice of the
petition for probate of the will, declares
that his brother was of unsound mind
and subject to the undue influence Of
his wife and others.
Charges Made
He says that on August IS, 1906, the
day the will is purported to have been
signed, and for some days prior to that
date, Mrs. Carithers. L. L. ,Vogel and
others caused his brother to be confined
In his room, refusing to allow him to
see or communicate with friends or
relatives; that they gave him alcoholic
and other drinks to such an extent his
mind became deranged and his will
subordinate to his wifes and that they
then compelled him to sign his name
to the instrument which was later filed
for probate as his will.
He asks that the probate be revoked
and that his brother be reclared to
have died intestate and that he be
given the right of the next of kin and
admitted to a share in the estate.
Mrs. Carithers some days ago filed an
answer to the petition in which the al
legations of her brother-in-law are
denied.
The estate consists of buildings and
lands on Reid, Mallard, Washington
and Arlington streets, Los Angeles
sonal property.
Among those who reached Los An
geles yesterday was William Bowels
of Chicago. attorney for Robert Ca
rithers, and a number of relatives OF
the deceased from Table Grove, Ill.
where Carithers once carried on a mer-
camille and banking business.

Once Prodigy, Now Master

Jan Kubelik, who is now making his
third annual tour of America, under
Daniel Frohman, will appear in this
city next Tuesday and Thursday even
ings. January IS and 30, at Simpson
auditorium, for the only recitals in this
city.
The celebrated Bohemian violin viz
tuoso, playing programs rich in va
riety and attractive in each selection,
is a magnet that will draw all genu-
Inc music lovers. The most sensa-
tional violinist of the century, the re-
incarnated Paganini, the genius who
makes the instrument cry, sob, sing
and command at will, the musician who
sways his audiences as if they were
part of his spirit-being, all this and
more. ii is no wonder that Kubelik S
tournees in Europe and America alike
have created furores of intensity that
have never been surpassed, not even in
the case of PadereWski, Kubelik Is now
at the fullness of his powers. When
he first electrified America seven years
ago he was little more than a boy
Now that he has reached maturity, his
musical puissance has increased four
fold. From prodigy he has developed
into a master, and along with his mar
velous technique has grown an inter-
pretative power which enables him to
reveal the inmost thoughts, to lay bare
the deepest thoughts of the great COM
posers.
In fact, as we'll as being mechanically
perfect on his instrument, he
has earned the right to be
called the spokesman of Beethoven,
Bach, Mozart, Jangel, Paganini,
Ernst and Wieniawski. His magic
violin is their voice, from it's
sounding board vibrates their feelings
and emotions. Kubelik' s programs for
this city are well calculated to demon
strate the character of his gifts. Being
alternately classic and romantic, they
run the gamut of sensations and give
him opportunity to touch the extreme
capacity of his violin and of his own
talent and achievement. His roper

New York, Nov. 1.--Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, made his final appeal to or ganized labor tonight to support the candidacy of William J. Bryan. In an address extending over two hours Mir. Gompers dealt in detail with the labor issues of the campaign and in his por- oration asked with all the feeling he could put into words that the support of labor be given to MT. Bryan next Tuesday. Grand Central palace, where the meeting was held. was crowded to it's capacity and at the con- clusion of Mir. Gompers speech there was a storm of applause.
 In tine course of his address Mir. Gompers declared that William H. Taft fin speech at Buffalo last Friday night had endeavored to misrepresent the cause of labor and to deceive lahoring men into the belief that prominent la bor leaders were failing away from MT. Gompers In his effort to pledge the lrbVl Nblb lD lllt utlllbtIdllC 1dTlN - this quoted phrase being included in a paragraph from Mir. Tafts Buffalo speech which Mir Gompers read.
 MT. Gompers read a telegram of similar import from Max Morris. Of Denver, Col
 After reading this paragraph Mir. Gompers said:
 U'a Il. names of John Mitchell, James Dun can, Max Morris and Daniel J. Keefe as men who were falling away from MT. Gompers.'
 Yesterday l sent telegram to John Mitchell and to James Duncan. l did not send telegrams to Morris or Keefe. 1 will now read you the an- swers:

 Signed. JAMES DUNCAN
 The next telegram is dated Chicago, Oct 31, and reads:
 Your telegram giving what pur- ports to be an extract from a speech made by Taft at Buffalo last night Is at hand.

 MT. Gompers read two other tele. grams. one from the branch of tho American Federation of Labor al Louisville, Ky, and the other from the branch at Fort Wayne, Both tele. grams informed Mir. Gompers that the branches had endorsed MT. Gompers policy
 The telegrams and peroraton wer' the two striking features of the labo' leaders speech. MT, Gompers was IT such great earnest that he imploret the enthusiastic audience not to inter rupt him with applause, saying:
