Hamnerstsin Quits as
Manager Of High Opera.
Says Artists Salaries Il Paid
Means Bankruptcy.


New York. April 27.-Oscar Ham
merstein has abandoned the field OF
grand opera. He announced tonight
that he had capitulated to the exac-
lions of the artistic temperament
which, aided and flattered by competi-
ton, now demanded salaries, which II
paid, meant bankruptcy, and if re-
fused meant no performances. Both
his own and the Metropolitan Opera
Co., faced deficits, he said for the sea
son just closed Therefore, he had
concluded that the public here and
elsewhere would be better served by
one company in the field and, as the
Metropolitan had through it's stock
holders what amounts to subsidy. he
left it to fulfill the public need.
E. r. Stotesbury will take over the
Philadelphia Opera house. Hammer
stein retains his Manhattan Opera
house here, which he will probably
turn over to vaudeville. but his cos
tunes. scenery. and all other proper
ties, together with all his contracts
for next season pass to the Metropoli-
tan for a cash consideration, which
with the amount paid by Mr.. Stotes-
bury will guarantee him a total of 81
000, 900.
BY the terms of the settlement to-
night, it is not thought Hammerstein
will ever appear as a manager.

RACE TRACK NOTES.

C,atterfoot, owned by w. X. Vander-
hill, enisbed second in the Prix Bar
belle. which was run at Irempiay'
| France. Wednesday
II is the expectation of the Ohio
state Board of Agriculture to make
+ tbis wears racing at the state fair
more attractive to horsemen by in
creasinc the purses. With this end in
view the board will raise the prizes to
an aggregate of $4,000 for the Is rae
ing events provided for in the official
program. Heretofore only $4,000 has
been put up in racing prizes.
The old question of abolishing hop
Piles will come up for discussion when
the congress of the American Trotting
Association meets at Chicago May 3.
For several years this question has
arisen. Many horsemen are in favor OF
doing away with the straps around the
horses legs. This cry has come MAIN
ly from owners of horses raced on
mile tracks. From the towns where TIE
smaller tracks prevail there is some
complaint and many of these horse
men are asking that the congress not
abolish the hopples Secretary Knight,
many horse owners within the past two
yearc, says he has learned that about
80 per cent of the horsemen are in ia
vor of complying with the proposed
new rule.
Danny Maher, the American jockey,
has received a retainer of $4,000 from
Lord Rosebery to ride his colt Neil
Cow in the Derby. 1t is the biggest
figure ever gained by a jockey for his
services in a similar capacity, but
money is no object to the head of the
house of Primrose when the EPSON
classic is at stake. No doubt the prime
reason why Maher commanded such
figure was that he made Neil Cow
perform better than any other jockey.
Last year. when a 2year-Oid, the colt
bolted out the gate more than once and
got left altogether in a few of the big
stakes for youngsters. Toward the
end of the season Maher was tried, and
though Neil Cow tried to run off the
course Maher held on to him and af-
ter Juggling him about finally got him
moving in surprising shape and he won
by a head. The finish was the most
sensational ever seen on an English
race course.

THE JEWELRY FRAUDS
Will Prove Disastrous Business to Per.
petrators, If Held.

washington, April 2i-PrellfnlndrS
hearings before a United States COM
missioner for the nine persons arrested
as a result of the investigation by the
department of justice into the alleged
jewelry bankruptcy frauds have been set
for April 20.
The alleged frauds upon various mer-
chants throughout the United States are
estimated at from 100000 to 100000. 1t
is alleged that the acts complained of
not only violated the bankruptcy laws,
but prosecution also might lie under the
conspiracy laws.
The methods of operation of the defend
ants are thus described by the depart
ment of justice:
What purported to be legitimate
jewerly store is started and large quantl-
ties of expensive jewelry were obtained
from firms in different parts of the coun-
try. Shortly afterwards the jewelry was
removed from the store and pretence
was made of shipping to some other point
for the purpose of having a public sale
The sale was duly advertised to take
place at given date.
I'm the meantime the building to which
the jewelry was pretended to have been
shipped was destroyed by fire together
with the packings purporting to contain
the jewelry in question. The parties the1
went into bankruptcy. At later date
the jewelry which had been concealed was
shipped elsewhere and sold at greatly re-
duced rates.
Full evidence has been obtained by the
government of these violations of law.
Officials of the department intimate that
the end is not yet in sight. There will be
other arrests before the inquiry now I'M
der way is completed.
