DONACHEY PROBING
PRISON CONDITIONS

Little Rock. Sept. Is. At 3
meeting of the penitentiary board
today had been reported to him
that during the past winters the
convicts had been !nsufficiently
clad. and have suffered from
the cold, which has caused much
sickness and probably has been
the result Of deaths among the
state prisoners. The governor
declared that if this is true tnen
someone has been guilty of neg
legence or wrong-doing. ane he
proposed to have the matter re-
medied at once. Governor Dona-
ghey objected to the purchase of
winter clothing until an investi-
cation has been made.
On m o ion, Commissioner
Tucker was appointed a commit
tee of one to fully investigate
and report to the next meeting
of the board, with afiidavits to
support the testimony he re-
cevies.
Commissioner Jobe informed
the governor that during the
winter the convicts wore the
summer striped suits over winter
suits Of underwear.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
won BY $4,000

Little Rock, Sept. 13. The
returns from the various counties
of the State from Mondays
election are coming in very slow.
ly on account of the length Of
the ticket.
From the best returns avail
able Governor Donaghey esti
mates that the majority for the
Democratic State ticket will bt
about $4,000 in a total vote Of
about 16O, 900. The Republican
majorities generally have beer
cut down. The governor, who
has been one of the mos
earnest advocates of Amendment
No. 10, estimates that it ha:
been adopted by a majority ot
about $4,000, and even the op
ponents of the measure concede
that it has been adopted al
though by reduced majority.
There is considerable doubt as
to Amendment No II, providing
for suspension of taxes on cottor
mills, and the appearances are
more indicative of its defeat
than otherwise. 1t is a remark
able fact that different counties
handled the amendments in ar
entirely different manner. Some
counties endorsed No. 10 and de
feated No. II, while others re.
versed it; some adopted both By
large majorities, others defeated
both. Poinsett County adopted
No. 10 by practically unani
nous vote, while in the tive
boxes of Helena and MARVEL
Phillips county, it received only
70 votes out of a total of S6(
cast.
The no license element seems
not to have lost any ground, bu,
to have gained if anything. In
Jackson County there has been
a complete reversal, the county

LONSDALE 4 DOTBTER
DR.. Cooks Secretary Joins the
Ske ptics.

Copenhagen, Jan. 15.--Walter Lonsdal le
Is the most recent of the former asso-
ciates and employees of DR. Frederick A.
Cook to admit a distrust of the man
whose claim to the discovery of the
North Pole was rejected by the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen.
Lonsdale was private secretary to
United States Minister Egan I'D to the
time of the arrival here of DR.. Cook.
with whom he then associated himself
in a similar confidential capacity. He
accompanied the explorer to the United
States, made the typewriter duplicate
of the Polar records and brought the
data here for the examination by the
university committee. He has remained
loyal to his employer until now. when he
says he is beginning to doubt him
Lonsdale states that he received a
letter from Cook under date of Decem-
Der a and mailed from a city in South
ern Spain. According to this letter, Cook
was on the sea from December Il to
December "a and accordingly was not
acquainted with the decision Of the ex-
anining committee when the letter was
written. Since the receipt of this let
ter Lonsdale says he has heard nothing
from Cook, though he has addressed sew
eral kilograms TO hin, at q point where
he thought the explorer could bo
reached.
Lonsdale estimates that Cook cleared
$50,000 from the exploitation of his Arc
tic reputation.

FRANCE RICH IN GOLD.
Great Reserve and PLENTY to
Incest abroad.
Ipy French cable to Tbs rr,bp

ley riSllCn Cdci5 10 lhS Tribune
Paris, Jan. 15.-A firm and buoyant
tone on the Paris Bourse continues, with
prospects of a general industrial and
commercial revival. Capital available
for investments is accommodating in un-
precedented proportions.
The gold reserve in the Bank Of
France has reached the record figure Of
S1OO,OOO,000. a sum which exceeds the
value of the reserves of state banks of
Germany, Austria and Italy added to-
gether.
1t is estimated that French invest
ments abroad are now more than $1,000
100000 Nevertheless the market here
for good foreign securities is practically
unlimited. The feature of the Paris
Bourse at present is the growing popu-
larity OF South American, and especially
Argentina, investments. Foreign gov
ernment bonds have risen, with the ex-
ception Of the Spanish, which have fallen
several points, owing to the recent mill
tary disaffection
The firm yet conciliatory policy of
Minister BRAND is considered by leading
financiers as strong factor in the ex-
pected industrial revival c. I. B.

FRANCE AROUSED
OYER ITALIAN OPERA.
Say Flood of Musical Corrup-
ton Comes from Italy.
IBy French Cable to The Tribune. ]

GBy French Cable 20 The Tribune
Paris, Jan. 15.-The revival at the
Opera Comique of Leoncavallo's Pail
lasses'' which also forms part Of the rep
ertory of the National Opera has evoked
passionate outburst on the part of the
Paris musical critics that promises to
equal in intensity the famous war be-
tween the Checklists and Picoinsts pro-
voked by the production in 17I4 of
Gluck's "Orphee''
IT is beautifully mounted and fairly
we'll sung at the Opera Comidue but is
Missed by occupants of the fashionable
boxes, and to-day Pierre Lalo, dean Of
the French musical critics and musical
editor of lie Temps" voices the opin-
ions of eight of his most promAent col
leagues by manifesto expressing his
aversion for the vulgar violence OF
'Paillasse,' and declaring 1t lament
able that still another italian musical
composition should be put on our lyric
stage" NJ: Lalo continues.
This invasion of the most degraded
musical art in the world must cease.
The Opera Comiaue has already brought
out the 'Cavalleria Rusticana' of Mas
cagni. also the vie de Boheme, the
'Tosca' and the 'Madama Butterfly of
Puccini, and now a fifth Italian work
comes here which surpasses all the
rest in coarseness and baseness. Pail
lasse' is the music of bad morals, bad
company. bad report and of i'll fame
This is the third great wave of musical
corruption that has come here from
Italy
Fer two hundred years it has been
the function Of Italy to corrupt musical
thought and manners Ever since Ital-
ian music and French music have ex-
listed it has been the mission of Italian
music to cause the decadence and deg
radiation of French music. In the middle
Of the eighteenth century the opera
bouffe Of Naples ruined our lyric tragedy
and classical music, and in the early
part Of the nineteenth century the cav
atinas and roulades of Rossini annihi-
lated the last vestiges of French art.
To-day this third pernicious food tide
from Italy is beginning TO drown US.
There was at least certain amount Of
elegance and light grace IN the school Of
Rossini, but tho musical works of Italy
to-day are commonplace. trivial and ear
marked with complaisant vulgarity. A
period Of degradation IS approaching like
that OF from 1910 to 1860 which Berlioz
described, and during which Berlinz Bit
terly complained that he had been COM
PEELED to live
These passionate outbursts Of revolt
against the italian composers cause tre-
mendous connection here with the mu-
sical public, and war against the italian
contemporary composers has begun.

Irf London exports so America, available

i and there is an advance Of more than

Of the American tariff has either ;nl-
paired home industries or reduced for
eign trade or diminished the revenue.
4 critical examination of the annual
exhibit tabulsted this week supports the
conclusion that there was systematic re-
duction Of duties on articles of general
consumption and a corresponding in
rrease Of duties on articles Of luxury

The consul generals figures throw
much light upon the problems of revenue

that against the modern style of bar
