The international grand opera con-
tinues to draw profit making audiences

least two of this weeks productions

former opera, said by some to be Mas
cagnis greatest work. will receive in
this city it's first American presenta-
ton. Some critics have claimed that
in this opera Mascagni has disclosed
more mature artistry and even greater
melodic charm than he did in "Caval-
leria." The. production here is In the
nature of a compliment to San Fran
cisco, the composer having written that
he would be charmed to have the city

ception about five years ago hear his
opera in its American premiere. The

HAYSTACk IN NEEDLE
EASIER THAN CONVICTION
vaoaville Reporter

The jury in the long drawn out CAL
houn bribery case was discharged Sum
day, not being able to reach a verdict
1t is said the jury stood 10 to for
acquittal. The case has been on trial
five months and has cost both the de-
PENDANT and the prosecution large sums
of money. This, however, is not a
cause for regret. Calhoun knows he
has had close call and the higher ups
know it, too, and will be more circum-
spect in their department in future.
No evidence was introduced at the trial
to prove that Calhoun had not paid
the bride to Ruef. and there are few
people who will believe he was limo
cent of the crime with. which he was
charged. But it is easier to get a
haystack through the eye of a needle
than to send rich man to prison.

Frame Structures in Fourth

A fire which broke out in the Air
Ship restaurant, Al Fourth street.
shortly before IL o'clock yesterday
morning threatened for a while to de-
stroy an entire row OF shacks in that
street between Jessie and Ste-epSon
streets. 1t was evidently caused by
an overheated fiue in the kitchen of the
restaurant as only the roofs of the
buildings were burned The promi-
nenee of the location brought out sew
eral engines and trucks and in few
minutes the blaze was under control
The Again saloon, IS Fourth street,
was damaged by smoke and slightly
by fire. as were a paint establishment
at 43 Fourth street. the JOHANNESBURG
wine company, 80 Fourth street, and
the Pacific Coast renovatory at 81
Fourth street.
The total loss will amount to about
$1,000. 1t is possible that the board
of works will not allow the reconStruc-
ton of the building on account of it
being temporary and within the IRE

San Francisco can never regain her

who have been indicted and are being
tried for bribery and corruption are
guilty there is no doubt. A court and
IL honest jurors said they were guilty,
the public believes them guilty, all the
political parties believe them guilty,
because the platforms condemned them;
yet the courts turn them loose on some
technicality which practically sets
them free. Glass was given a new
trial; the same with Schmitz and
others. 1t required two days to con-
Wet Coffey for grating because he was

VERDICT CAN NOT
BE TAKEN AS yINDICATIoN
Riverside Press

The verdict of the jury in the CAL
houn case can not be accepted as a
vindication for the head of the United
Railroads. If he had been promptly
acquitted that outcome of the trial
would have been a great victory for
him, though even that would not have
convinced many people that he was not
morally respofNible for the bribery of
the boodling SUPERVISORS. But a hung
jury under all we circumstances Of
the trial is qufteras much a victory
for the prosecution as for the defense.
on the first ballot the vote stood 6 to f.,
and there is certainly not much glory
for Calhoun in that.
