TWO "sALOMES" FOR PARIS.
Long.NegIected Mariotte Version Tc
Be Heard as Well as Strauss's-

PARIS, April S.--Paris is soon to
have the privilege of witnessing two
operas entitled "Salome." Both or
them have the same libretto-that OK
Oscar Wilde. The opera composed by
Antoine Mariotte as long ago as 1907
was produced in Lyons in October,
1908, but owing to the ownership or
the original libretto by the Berlin
music publisher. F'urstner, further rep
reservations were forbidden. although
Richard Strauss, the composer OF the
other "Salome," was willing that they
should take place.
The interference Of critical busy
bodies engendered some hostility
against Mariotte on the part OF those
interested in the German work. All
this has been eliminated, 1t appears.
and the music lovers of Paris are con-
graduating themselves upon the oppor'
tunity now near at hand OF hearing
the Mariotte score at the city's sub
eidized Theatre oe la Gaite Lyrique.

BLAMEs BOOZE FOR
RECKLESS DRIVING
Coroner Bennett Advocates Law
Putting "Kibosh" on Drunken
Chauffeurs-Praises Traffic Squad.

Coroner John f. Bennett Is OF the
opinion that fast automobiling has be-
come a serious menace In the streets
of Detroit. The fact that already this
year six persons have met violent
death by being run down by speeding
machines is viewed with alarm in
many quarters.
Coroner Bennett is in favor OF regu'
lating, not the machines, but the
drivers. He believes that there is
already sufficient regulation regarding
apeed, II the law IN that regard were
properly enforced. His idea is to put
check upon all persons who drive
machines, not only the licensed chaui-
feurs, bus private owners who drive
their own automobiles.
Il would like TO see some law or
ordinance that would place a check
upon drivers" he said. Il believe that
II Il is proven that a man Is found
driving an automobile while he Is In
an intoxicated condition, he should
be prohibited by law from driving
again. At least, would have that pro-
hibitive measure good for certain
length OF time.
"It seems TO me that many OF our
more serious auto accidents are the
result OF sheer carelessness on the
part OF chauffeurs. The trouble can
he traced to intoxication. There is
nothing SO exhilarating as an automo-
bile ride IN the open air. and add 20
that the excess of feeling created by
alcoholic stimulant and you have a
very dangerous combination.
1T might be 4 good thing TO inquire
into the habits OF taxicab drivers, II
that Is not already being done. Too
much care can not be exercised In this
respect. There nay be people who
board taxicabs, utterly ignorant OF
what is in store for them II is pro-
lection that the public ought 10 have.
II don't know how TO account for the
number OF deaths by automobiles this
year, unless IL Is due 10 the vast in
crease of machines on the streets. II
II were not for the Il affic squad. | don't
know what would become OF large
part of our population every day.
THE situation Is really very grave,
and, in my opinion demands immedi-
ate attention. FAKE the case OF Eva
Cohen, killed at Hastings-st. and Graf
iot-ave., 4 few weeks ago The man
who was heid partly responsible by
the coroner's jury went scot-free. IL
seems that the least that should have
been don, would have been to have
proceeded against him for fast driv-
ing"

RAILWAY DISASTER
IS SHOCK TO KAISER
Recently Commented on Germany's
Freedom from These "Amerl-
can Accidents"

BERLIN, April S.-Only a few days
ago the kaiser was discussing with
American friends the alarming fire.
quency OF serious railway accidents
in the United States. His majesty re-
marked on Germany's comparative
freedom from such catastrophes as al
most daily occur In America.
Had William waited until this week
he would have been unable to indulge
in these self-congratulatory reflections,
for Mulheim on the Rhine was the
scene Of a disaster of truly American
proportions with casualty list Of
twenty-five killed, fifty seriously in
jured, and 100 slightly hurt. This was
great shock to the kaiser The acct
dent becomes the gravest in the his
tory OF German railways. The dead
and wounded total more than the Ger
man army lost in a single engage
ment in the late campaign In South
west Africa. The victims were all
soldiers returning to Alsace-Lorraine
garrisons from the Easter furlough.
According to the German custom OF
probing railway wrecks TO the bottom
and furnishing those responsible, the
engineer of the express train which
rammed the troop train will remain
under arrest until the disater is thor
oughly investigated. He asserts that
the signal indicated that the express,
which was travelling so miles an hou-.
had the right of way when 1t crashed
into the military train stanctng on the
same track.
The automobile block signals have
not yet been introduced on German
railways except at a few points, the
railway administration being OF the
opinion that the most reliable guaran-
tee for security OF travel Is well dis
ciplined employees. The overworking
OF engineers, firemen, switchmen, and
brakemen is scrupulously avoided
The engineer charged with the re-
sponsibility Of Wednesdays wreck was
within fifteen minutes OF the end OF
his five and one-half hours daily run.
