Write About Cowboys

Stem Drewsen, a Danish dramatic critic
and author. arrived here yesterday on the
Scandinavian-Amer liner g. T. Tietgen,
from Christansand. Mr.. Drewsen was the
first man from Denmark to meet DR.. Cook
on the latter's return to civilization from
wherever he had spent his time. He left
Copenhagen when the news of Cooks
turn was made known and boarded the
Hans Egede two days out from port
Mr.. Drewsen said he had had implicit
faith in Dr. Cook and that his confidence
in the explorer lasted until the recent re-
lection OF the Cook observations in Copen-
hagen. Mr.. Drewsen said he no longer
had any faith in DIR. Cook. He said yes
terday that he had come here to write in
Danish the story of the American cow
boy and his life in this country.
The Danes" he said, ARE interested in
the cowboy and they want to read of him
in their own tongue. I shall go to Texas
to get the material for my book"
Also on the Tietgen was Axel Maurer,
e-president of the Norwegian Dramatic
Authors Association. He comes here TO
lecture on Danish, Norwegian and Scan
dinavian authors, under the auspices of
the Sons of Norway. of this city.

the principal speaker last night at No.

"DIE WALKUERE" is HEARD.
Second Music Drama of Der Ring des
Nibelungen' Produced.

The second performance in the special
matinee cycle of Richard Wagner's Der
Ring des Nibelungen'' took place yesterday
afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera House
before an audience even larger than the
one that attended the production of "Das
Rheingold' on Monday. The cast of Die
Walkiire," with two exceptions, was the
same as at the previous performance of
the music drama this season. The two
new singers were Walter Sooner in the
part of Wotan and Allen Hinckley as
Hunding. If Mr.. Sooner was a very human
god. there yet dignity in his i'm
personation, and in stature he was truly
WaIhalla's king. AS to voice Mr.. Sooner
possesses an organ that knows few equals
on the stage to-day It is rich, resonant
and powerful, and, best Of all. he knows
how TO use IL. Mr.. Hinckleys Hunding
was entirely adequate, though vocally
perhaps a trihe heavy.
The singers who had appeared at pre-
vious performancesewere Nine Fremstad as
Sieglinde Mime. Gadski as Briinnhilde Mr.
Burrian as Siegmund, and Nine. Homer a.
Frtcka All were in excellent voice, Mr..
Burrian in particular showing a surprising
improvement in his singing of the more
lyric passages, notably in his scene with
Sieglinde in the first act.
The performance moved smoothly. there
being no repetition of the unfortunate epi-
sode of Monday. Even the battle in the
clouds could be seen. Mr.. Hertz conducted
in his characteristic manner.

At the direction of Mayor Gaynor Robert

were on the carpet In the Mayors Office
yesterday afternoon
In the presence of Commissioner Baker
of the Police Department. who had been
called by the Mayor, the latter told the
policemen that they must be more careful
in the future to preserve absolute neutral
ity in the fight between the manufacturers
and the strikers. The Commissioner prom
ised that he would order the police TO use
more discretion in making arrests in the
future
The leaders OF the girls strike complained
that the special officers employed by the
manufacturers were responsible for many
of the arrests They would point out one
of the girls, ii was said. and say that she
had struck some one. and the police would
then arrest her. A fine usually followed
The strike leaders charge that this Is part
of a plan to deplete the treasury of the
strikers organization, out of which all the
fines are paid.
Mr.. Adan1son and Mr.. Crowen stood in
front OF a factory near Astor Place when
the strikebreakers came out, guarded by a
big man who said later that he was a
member OF the, firm. AS they walked down
toward Broadway the big man suddenly
pushed small man. who was acting

had struck 0f far
Mr.. Adamson and Mr.. Crowell could see
the little man had done nothing but at the
request of the alleged proprietor Patrol
man Short arrested the little fellow and
took him to the Mercer street station.
There. apparently. the big man ran
things TO suit himself. He stood at the
door of the station and said who should
come in and who should be kept out The
prisoner protested that there were wit
nesses outside who would prove that he
had struck no one. but the lieutenant on
the desk would not listen to him. You
can tell that in the Jefferson Market court
in the morning" he is reported to have
said Take him back and lock him up"

RUSSIAN SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Isle Of Death Given for First Time
in New York.

The CHEZ event Of interest in last night s
concert of the Russian Symphony Orches-
ira. in Carnegie Hall, lay in the first pro-
duction in New York of Sergei Rachmani-
noff's symphonic poem, THE Isle of
Death" This composition had its first per-
formance in Moscow about a year ago. II
has also been played recently in Chicago,
and in Boston by the Boston symphony
Orchestra. THE Isle of Death is founded
on Arnold Boecklin's well known picture in
the Leipsic Museum, and the composer has
attempted to give in his music the sombre
atmosphere aroused by the painting
Mr.. Rachmaninof himself conducted the
orchestra last night, and in spite of some
rather crude playing on the part of the
musicians succeeded IN bringing out ad-
mirabIy the spirit OF the composition.
The other numbers were Tschaikowsky's
Romeo and Juliet overture. Arensky's
variations for strings on a Tschaikow sky
theme and Rachmaninons second piano
concerto, plyed by the composer.
