candidate for the United States Senate
in succession to Senator Burroughs,

Not this time." he said.
Mitchell Suggested.
In the course of conversation be-
tween Colonel Roosevelt and several
of his visitors the name of John Mitch
ell, former president of the United
Mine Workers of America, was men-
toned as possible candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor.
Colonel Roosevelt was interested great
ly in the suggestion, although he would
not express any opinion as to It's wis
dom He said he regarded Mr.. Mitchell
highly: that he was one of the men on
whom he depended for assistance When
he was in the White House, and that
he thought very highly of Mr.. Mltchell's
judgment.
Mr.. Mitchell has been resident Of
Mount Vernon, suburb OF New York.
for more than two years. He is chair
man OF the trade agreement committee
of the National Civic Federation, AL
though he is Republican, he never
has been active in politics and in fact
has been so little of partisan that
at the time of the last presidential
campaign his name was mentioned as
a possible candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Vice President.
Mr.. Mitchell was not at home to-
night, and nobody could be found who
knew II he had ever voted In this State
or not, but 1t was pointed out that his
term OF residence In this State would
entitle him to do so at the next elec-
tion or to run for office by the simple
formality of registration.

avoid further friction.
Discussing the strained relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Spanish
government Cardinal Ferrari said yes

tool The Vatican continues to act loy-
ally toward Spain, keeping the nuncio
at Madrid as proof that the church Is
disposed to continue the negotiations.
Sooner or later the defeat of Canalejas
will be complete.
"The whole thing is the result of the
anti clerical wind which swept over
france; crossed the Pyrenees; and Is
church has won more difficult battles
in the past. and 1t must not be for
gotten that the nations that have
quarreled with her have brought on

CROWD STORMS NEW OPERA
Many Turned Away from The
Girl of the Golden West"

The first subscription performance of
Puccinis opera, 1.-The Girl Of the Golden
West" took place last night at the Metro
politan Opera House. In the performance
itself there was no difference from the two
previous ones. Mr.. Caruso again sang
Johnson, Miss Destinn Minnie, Mr.. Amato
the Sheriff, and Mr.. Toscanini conducted.
The audience was vociferous in it's enthusi-
asm, and Mr.. Puccini was brought out for
several curtain calls.
But I'm the lobby unusual scenes enacted
themselves. The public, which had been
frightened away previously by the doubled
prices. decided last night that ii wished to
determine for itself as to the merits of the
new opera. So it came. In fact, IL came
so strongly that long before the curtain
rose the management decided to close the
box office and refused TO sell any further
admission. There was good deal of mur-
rnuring at this. though the majority took
the disappointment good naturedly.
One man, however. became so enraged
that after demanding in loud tone that
tic box office window be reopened, started
to open it for himself by attempting TO
break it with his cane. He was promptly
arrested by a special officer and turned
over to the police. Another opera enthusi-
ast ascended the fire escape and attempted
to crawl In through one OF the gallery win
dows. He. too. was apprehended and treat
ed 10 a quick journey to the police station
These two abortive Attempts cooled the ar
dor of the crowd and there was no further
trouble. 1t was estimated that the number
OF persons turned away was between eight
hundred and one thousand.
II was learned later in the evening that
the special policeman detailed to the family
circle saw a man IN the act of picking a
woman's pocket, The man was arrested
ana turned over TO the police.
