OPERA SINGERS SHARED
SALARIES WITH AGENT
Revelations Made in Suit Brought
by Gabriel Astruc for Damages
Against Publishing Company.

CHICAGO. H., April 23.-Lesser lights
Of the grand opera stage reluctantly dis
closed the secrets of their salaries before
United States Commissioner Humphrey
yesterday.
The dispositions are TO be used in the
trial in New York of suit for $4,000
damages started by Gabriel Astrus, Paris
representative of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, against publishing COM
pany.
Georges Regis, French lyric tenor,
produced his contract 10 show he re-
ceived 1900 for a season of sixty-six per-
formances. Georges Bourgeoise, basso.
also French, reluctantly admitted his re-
turn for singing was about $1,000 for a
season, and Paul Ananian. who Is Turk,
said he did not receive more than $1,000.
Five more singers are to be examined
Monday.
The suit in which the dispositions are to
be used was started by Astruc because Of
story that he operated IAN opera agent
trust in France. securing singers more
because OF the commissions they could
pay than because of the quality OF their
voices.
The singers who testified yesterday said
they paid Astruc . per cent of their sal
aries.

VEXED BY POSTAL BANK
HOUSE REPUBLICANS WILL
CAUCUS ON PROGRAM.
Careful Handling Will Be Neces-
sary to Get Measure
Through.

- The republicans of the House will hold
a caucus to determine the course Of party
action on the postal savings bank bill.
This is the partial outcome of the con-
ferenceS held between President Taft,
Representative Weeks, chairman Of the
House committee on post offices and post
roads, and others on the subject of the
present status of postal savings legisla-
ton. The caucus will be held immediate
ly after the disposition of the administra-
ton railroad bill and during considera-
ton of the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which probably will be next week.
The predicament into which this legisla-
ton has finally gravitated in the House
is causing the administra ton leaders in
Congress no little concern, and it is re-
allied that only by the most careful and
concerted action will 1t be enacted 1t is
stated that only two of the nineteen
members of the House committee on post
offices and post roads are unqualifedly in
favor Of the bill as it passed the Senate
or in any form similar to that.
Chairman Weeks of the committee. 1t is
well known, is outspoken in his opposi-
ton to postal savings banks. He viii
consent to accept only the most conserva-
tive legislation along this line, and wishes
to see the House pass a bill which will
not commit the government to the propo-
sition any further than the undertaking
of sort of experiment.
Several members of the committee have
expressed themselves as considering the
postal savings banks bill the most impor-
tant matter before Congress at the pres
ent session. They believe. if the govern
ment embarks upon this business, that II
will lead Ultimately to far-reaching con
sequences, involving possibly nothing
more or less than the government con-
Quoting the banking business of the coun-
try.

of space reserved for hallway on one

of the building, which is fifty feet.
The first story front will be remodeled
with classic columns and a glass back

of the front. The banking room will
be fitted with a marble base and bronzed
screen counters. The woodwork will be

the mansard roof will be remodeled so as
to bring the frontage flush with the re-
mainder of the building. 1t is estimated
that between sixty and seventy thousand
dollars will be spent in these changes.

The direct interest of members of the
executive committee of the Merchant Ma
rine League of the United States In the
legislation which they urged for the res

brought out at yesterdays hearing be-
fore the House ship subsidy investigating
committee.
Attorney Ralston, who is counsel for
Representative Steenerson of Minnesota,
the aggrieved member under the leagues
propaganda, prodded Secretary Penton of
the league as to the effects Of the second
clause of the Humphreys bill. Under
his questioning the witness admitted that
large proportion of the members of the
committee and other officials were en-
gagged in the production or transporta ton
of iron ore or steel and would be thereby
benefited by the additional protection of
the large increase in the tonnage dues on

THAT applies to Representative Steen-

from his attitude and his bitter attack on
the league that his motive was not
worthy: that he was interested in the

Penton declared the foreign interests

New York Herald so accurate and
minute that the writer must have obtain
ed information on the subject from some
one who was entrusted with the secret,
said the President.
And two years later similar incident
occurred. The news that Mexico had
agreed to the treaty of peace was pub

same paper under similar circumstances.
and Mr. Buchanan happened to be the
only person possessing the knowledge
who would under any circumstances be
likely to disclose it.

The Senate ordered an investigation.
Nugent refused to give himself away,
but filed a written statement declaring
that Mr.. Buchanan was in no way re-
sponsible for the publication. In other
words, he perjured himself like a gentle
man.
What made matters worse was that
in his letters to the Herald Mr.. Nugent
was always praising Mr. Buchanan and
always criticisng the President, and
when Mr.. Polk complained of this to his
Secretary of State Mr.. Buchanan alway S
insisted that he had tried to use his In
