KWrEW lnem are not IN the nlglpSt
- degree complimentary. 1t is
said that Ernst Won Schuch, the well
known Dresden conductor. to whom
Strauss entrusts the first presentation Of
his operas, actually s rained a muscle ina
MS arm In trying to bring out all the
force Of the orchestration for the "Elek-
ira production.
For this same production the singers
had to rest after the final rehearsaIs. and
the work had been so taxing that the resi-.
had to be prolonged to such an extent
mat the opening performance was post
poned.
on one occasion at a rehearsal il is said
that Mr.. Strauss addressed the orchestra.
after this fashion CMr. Won Schuch was
conducting); Gentlemen, that was much
too mild, much too soft-the strings as well
as the wood, wind and the brass must all
come in there. Only do not have any con-
sideration for the singers; simply bow and
blow as hard as you cam
Now, II the writer Of this column did
not know who was practically responsible
for that story, he would regard il with
great suspicion. For why should Strauss
maks such a remark as that. il sounds
more like the fabricatI on OF a press agent.
Why should he say the strings as we'll
as the brass must all come in there? ' II
they were to come In, would it not be
written in the score and parts? And
would II be at all likely that the Dresden
orchestra players would not know enough
to come in, when their time came? Qn
fact, the more the writer thinks Of it, the
more he does regard It with suspicion)
Blu this might be true: on another
occasion he asked Won schuch to rap on
his desk for order, and then he sailor
is said to have said: This part, gentle
men, we will repeat: moreover with all
your power. It was not satisfactory the
first time. l though l heard the voice Of
a singer"
Whether this is true or not, it is a good
story on the modern ideas Of composition
ponderosity, perplexity, and power, that is,
power Of a dynamic sort.
When Richard Strauss is accused Of be-
ing mercenary land he has the reputation
OF being exceedingly sol he lightly replies,
with the question YSince when has It been
a crime for a German to iook after the in
terests OF his wife and child p.
His earnings per year are said to be
about $4,000. For the score of 'Salome'
he received $2,5OO, and for "Elektra" the

SHERIFF WILL NOT
GIVE UP HIS KEYS
County Commissioners Have
Clash Over Authority
CLOSING STATE TREASURY
Death of State Treasurer Causes Some
Confusion and Several State EN-
ployes Will Be Short of
Funds for a While.
CLOSING STATE TREASURY

Atlanta, May ia Bunch OF Keys
would make a good title for the serio-
comedy which is now being enacted with
Sheriff Wheeler Mangum and the Fulton
county commissioners playing the leading
roles.
The sheriff has the jail and county COM
missary keys and refuses to give them up,
while the county commissioners, under
the advice Of their attorney, hold that
they have sole jurisdiction over the Jail,
and that the sheriff has custody and con-
troll only of the prisoners therein.
A short time ago things did not go
to suit Sheriff Mangum in the commissary
and engineering departments at the Jail
and he took the keys away from Engineer
A. D. Howard. The commissioners, acting
upon the advice of County Attorney L.
2. Rosser, demanded that the sheriff
give them up.
'Pu see a lawyer about it," replied the
sheriff
IF you don't, Wen put new locks on the
building and lock you out" retorted the
commissioners.
The sheriff saw his lawyer and persist
ed in his refusal to turn over the keys;
he is still boss of the Jail as well as the
prisoners.
So far the commissioners have not at
tempted to carry out their threat to take
off the old locks and put on new ones.
They are hesita ting, and it is impossible
now to tell whether the next step will
be one of diplomacy or of force.
Diplomacy won't get the keys away
from the sheriff and force will PROBABLY
mean an injunction and the testing in
the courts as to whether or not the sheriff
is boss at the Jail.
In the meantime the sheriff is holding
on tightly to his nine points of the
law.

Alabama and Tennessee have about
agreed to play that series of baseball
games for the settling of the champion
ship honors OF the Southern lntercol>
legiate Athletic association.
The place. however, is the point over
which the dispute hinges.
Alabama desires to play the series In
Birmingham.
Tennessee desires to play the series in
Chattanooga.
Alabama gives as a reason for desir-
ing to play the games in Birmingham that
there is no doubt but that the series
would draw better here than in chatta-
nooga
Tennessee gives no reason for preferring
Chattanooga.
1t is surmised that Tennessee feels
that there will be an advantage in its
favor in playing before Tennessee audi
ence.
Perhaps Alabama has subsidiary rea-
son for desiring to play in Birmin CHAM.
However, it would appear that Ala
bama's argument is the stronger, because
Birmingham would certainly furnish more
money to the contestants, and while
money is not by any means the primary
object of the meeting, it helps out a
great deal it is alleged.
Unless the series is arranged, the cham
pionship will be in doubt. Alabama
played q collegiate games during the sea-
son, and of that number won 20. The
one lost went to Cumberland. Alabama
won every series.
Tennessee won it's every series, too
though it lost several games, one to Sc
vance, one to Georgia, and one to Mer-
Ger, the latter being quite weak member
of the association.

Alabama and Z enneSSee
May Yet Come Together

Nashville Tennessean, had the following
yesterday morning:
Alabama has put in a claim for the
Dixie collegiate championship, with Ten
nessee university dlsputing the title.
Without a doubt these two clubs top the
heap, and between the pair the dope
would give Alabama a shade at least the
Tuscaloosa delegates having won no less
than 20 out of q games played. Theirs
isn't much choice, however, and the only
way to settle the title argument will be
in meeting of these two clubs. There
you'll find another handicap, for neither
will likely consent to playing the series
away from home. Tennessee disputed
Georgia's claim last season, but the argu-
ment was never unraveled, as the Knox
vile contingent refused to take on Geor-
gia in Athens, and Georgia baked at
coming to Tennessee

of their awfully crippled and generally
demoralzed condition, getting away with
eight out o.. 10 games pitched. Some OF
the conditions at the time were decidedly
humorous viewed from the present angle
and Schopp tells some interesting stories
of the troubles facing a pitcher at that
time.
He says that a pitcher had to use his
wits a whole lot when he went into the
box with a man ON second with a broken
leg, another on first with both legs
crippled. a shortstop who was chronically
out of condition and a pitcher playing
right field every day. He says that his
system was to split the plate and pray
for general results.
Schopp has been looking up some points
of interest about town mentioned to him
by his father, who was stationed here
during the war in the Federal army
