GERMAN LIGHT OPERA WAS
GRAINED WITH MELODIES

People who were unfortunate enough
to stay away from the German light
opera "Das Nusikantenmaedel," (The
Musicians Crib at Jackson's theatre
last evening, should censure them
selves severely today, for they missed
one of the real treats of the season.
To begin with, the production which
is the work Of Bernhard Buchbind-
er. while not grand opera, is not Of
the frothy American type Of musical
comedy, but hits that delightful medi-
um, Of music that Is artistically per-
feet and yet simple and melodious
enough for the average person to fol-
low with the utmost enjoyment.
Then the company carried an Orches-
ira Of 16, the largest ever at the thea
tire outside of grand opera, and the
chorus of voices in the company was
well trained, and all Of the principals
were good singers.
To a person who did not understand
a word of German, the performance
was none the less q real treat for the
extremely beautiful music which
marked it throughout, and which the
composer has provided in great plenty.
Nothing to equal 1t has been heard
here in years.
In addition to this, the German
speaking people in the audience had
the advantage of enjoying very wit
ty play. The performance was replete
with bright and catchy sayings and
the German used by the performers
was of the highest type and treat
to those who understand the tongue.
The company which put on the per-
Torrance was from the Irving Place
theatre, New York, where the best
German plays and opera are produc-
ed in America.

Redding. Dec. 2S.-Copies Of the
pamphlet containing a review and sum-
mary Of Accountant Soule's examina-
ton Of the accounts of the town trea-
surer, tax collectors, town clerk and
selectmen were mailed by First Sc
lectman Sanford this week to all the
taxpayers. 1t contains considerable
town meeting, the examination at that
time not having been completed. Mr..
SoCle finds that the various officials
were Indebted to the town for sums
paid them and not paid over, as fol-
lows: Treasurer w. H. Hill, S746; Hen
ry 8. Osborn, tax collector for seven
years, $40; Everett 1. Gorham, COL
lector for three years $17S; Emory P.
Sanford, collector for one year, 81.
These figures, however do not repre-
sent the entire Indebtedness set down
by Mr.. Soule against the collectors.
there being additional charges for
what may be called book Indebtedness
as distinguished from money actually
received. This book Indebtedness
comes from the failure of the collec-
bills they presented, such interest be-
ing legally part of the amount owed
bv the taxpayer. Failure to demand
and secure this interest implies no
culpability on the part of the collec-
tors who, in what they did, were fol-
lowing an established local practice
which had the tacit If not the express
sanction of the selectmen. Strictly
speaking the latter body had no pow
err to give this sanction, the proper
way Of accomplishing the same end

ELECTRIC TRUST
IS NOW DOOMED
Prosecutions, Similar to Those
Against Tobacco and Standard
Oil Combines, to be Insti-
tuted
Especial from United Press.)


Washington, Dec. 2S.-The "Elec-
trio Trust" so-called, is doomed to
dfsintegration. according to officials of
the Department of Justice who de-
clared, today, that before the first
month of the new year has passed,
prosecutions against a trust similar
to those of the tobacco and Standard
Oil combines in magnitude, and which
are backed up by proofs so convinc-
ing to make the government conf
dent will have been instituted.
Startling revelations of alleged i'll
legal control of prices and monopoly
on patents and water power sites will
be made when the cases come up for
hearing. It was declared, today, the
electric trust, which is said to COM
prise two monster companies with
in the country was charged with con-
trolling the output Of every variety
OF electrical supplies and with fixing
unreasonable prices.
1t has secured control, it was said,
first by buying up all the more valu-
able electrical, patents and then, In
order to make assurance doubly sure,
buying& up numerous water power
sites, thereby making it impracticable
for Independent concerns to operate.
It IL said the proposed cases are
now being brought by w. s. Kenyon.
one Of the Trust busting assistants
completed within a few days. Thus
far the government contemplates
civil actions only. basing the prosecu-
tions on the Sherman antitrust law.
Criminal prosecutions may be entered
later.
