biIity OF PriceS-PIan- Tour
of American Works

NEW YORK Oct. 15.---Steelmakers
from all parts Of the world, here TO at
tend the meeting of the American Iron
and Steel institute, devoted today tc

will meet President Taft in Washing
ton before returning here on October
II.
The institute is by far the most
important gathering of international
steel men that has ever taken place IN
this country, and 1t is regarded as
probable that its organization VIII re-
suit in tremendous changes in some
of the important branches of this
gigantic industry.
TIE aim OF the institute is to deal
not only with the technical part OF the
industry. but to take up its commercial
side and invade the domain Of prices
The suggestions of several delegates
point TO the possibility OF a world
wide corporation among the makers
Of steel and iron for mutual protec-
tin in the markets OF the world IN
the mater of production and prices.
Stability OF prices was the most i'm
portant topic discussed by these men
at their opening meeting yesterday
The subject and the allied subject of
cooperation came to the front in the
early hours this morning in the ban
quet addresses at the close of the big
dinner rendered to the foreign dele
gates by the American steel men.
Judge Gary presided at the afternoon
dinner symposium and the special
speakers included Charles M. Schwah

SAY THEY'VE FOUND GERM
OF INFANTS PARALYSIS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.-The discov-
cry of a germ which probably causes
infantile paralysis was announced last
night at a special meeting of the Col
lege of Physicians held here to dis
cuss that disease.
DR.. Allen ]. Smith. dean of the medi-
cal department of the University of
Pennsylvania and director of the School
of Tropical Diseases, recently founded
in that institution, declared that in the
blood of sufferers from the disease had
been found protozon or a low form of
animal life, which he thinks may prove
to be the germ which causes the dis
ease. 1t resembles the germ which causes
sleeping sickness, and, in his opinion,
is carried from one victim to another
by insects.
DR.. Charles K. Mills and other we'll
known physicians, corroborated DR..
Smith in his opinion.

BALLINGER, 10 OTHERS,
HURT IN TRAIN WRECK

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 14.-Richard
a. Ballinger. secretary of the interior,
was one of the II passengers who were
more or less seriously injured in the
wreck of two passenger trains which
met in a head-on collision in the out
skirts of this city early last night Sec
rotary Ballinger's injuries consisted of
only a severe shaking UP and a slightly
bruised left arm.
The trains in the collision were No z
from St. Louis and No. 10 for Louis
Vile, on the Baltimore and Ohio South
western railroad.
The accident occurred at Sixth street
and Mount Hope road. Both trains
were proceeding at the moderate rate
of speed, and to this fact is due the
escape of passengers from possibly more
serious consequences. None of the in
jured will die.

ured the price of cotton would suffer at

Mr. Howard said that OF a number or
cotton merchants he had talked WITH
all are opposed to guaranteeing the gen.
uineness OF bills of lading. He said 1t
would be equivalent to singing out cot
ton as the only commodity whose nego-
table documents must be guaranteed.
He pointed out that the same require
ment is not made on wheat bills OF lad
ing He said that foreign banks have
refused consistently to guarantee bills
OF Iading of export to America. The
foreign banks, said he, are at perfect
liberty so far as any American interest
cares. to form their guaranty company
il they will pay their own premium. He
pointed out that the New York commit
tee is composed pretty largely of ma
tionaI bankers who under their char
ters can't make guarantees. and who
therefore favor the plan for a guaranty
company.

said Mr.. Howard, I'VE will most strongly
oppose and will not agree to any plan

Mr.. Ehney took the same view. Il

electrical department There are more
than 5000 incandescent lights and 90 arc
lights on the stage of the modern home
of grand opera, and the electricians must
not only keep these In condition and
arrange them as needed in the operate
settings. but they must evolve in their
workshops near the stage the mechanism
for all the fantastic effects in lighting
which for the opera goer simulate moon
light, dawn. sunset, the ightnings

natures illumination. Controlling these
myraid lights is a model switchboard.
The one beneath the stage of the Boston

As many as forty men are employed
during the busy season in the property
department of a grand opeca house. This
is. to many OF the privileged persons who
get an occasional peep behind the screens.
the most interesting OF the five main
departments or divisions which are re-
sponstbie for creative work in mounting
grand operas. 1t is the property depart
ment which supplies through its own
manufacture all the tables and chairs
and royal thrones that enrich the stage
on opera nights; the spears and swords
and shields that are carried by operate
soldiery; the make-believe statuary that
graces painted parks; the charlots and
carriages OF the mighty; the artificial
flowers bestowed by ardent operatic
lovers. and. in short. the ten thousand
and one little things and big which GO

quite as creditable work as many of the

and day. In some instances, to get out
the needed embellishments for the make
believe world behind the footlights. In
arranging the preliminaries for pre-
tentious season of grand opera it is
usually found that new scenery. costumes,
etc. must be provided even where there Is
to be a revival of an opera previously
presented. The opera going public that
pays So for a seat or 500 for a private
box is very critical and Is not satisfied to
have old scenery touched up. and last
years costumes resurrected
What has rendered especially exacting
the task of paving the way for the
fS10-1l season of grand opera In America
is that this winter is to see in the United
States the first production anywhere in
the world of several brand new grand
operas. including the latest and most i'm
portant works of the two leading Italian
composers. Now first production
any stage means that the scene painters
and costumers and all other operate
outfitters must originate. They can't have
the benefit of any hints from former pro-
auctions object lessons afforded by
European productions that antedate the
American premier. Therefore the powers
that be behind the scenes at our great
opera-house have this year to greater

hind-the-stage product to which the audi
ences out In front do give a serious
thought now and then. The handling of
giant scenery is not such problem as
might be surmised, for the stage OF your
up-to-date opera house Is cons tructed in
sections. any all of which may be
raised lowered with rapidity and in
perfect silence. This makes 1t possible
to construct any given set complete
days in advance of a production. and to
leave it in such position in the basement
that 1t will be in nobody's way and yet
when wanted can be quickly elevated
into position the stage and quickly
dropped back into oblivion when 1t has
served its purpose. The enormous height
of the grand opera houses also facilitates
the handling, lifting and storage aloft OF
the huge drops" the name applied to
hinge expenses of painted canvas which.
instead of being stretched on frames. are
hung as curtains and one of which
drops forms the background for every
stage setting.
Where the herculean stature of grand
opera production does entail no end of
extra work is In the scene painting. An
idea of the proportions Of the pictures
that must be painted by the opera house
artists may be formed from the fact

extent than ever before been thrown upon
their own resources.
Just here, too, it may be pointed out
In providing the local color for a grand
opera production far greater attention
has to be paid to historical and geogra-
phicai accuracy than is the case with the
average play. Take. for instance the case
of verdi's famous Egyptian opera.
Aida, which may be cited repre-
sentative example of requirements. Con
scientfous stage outftters would not think
of attempting to mount this masterpiece
without weeks of preparatory study. The
scenic artists have to gain a thorough
know ledge of the architecture of the Pc
riod, the mural deccra lions. etc; the cos
tuners must familiarize themselves with
the fashions of the prescribed period in
the land the Nile: the electricians
must learn from books If not al first
hand the characteristics of the elusive
atmospheric effects of the African para
disc, particularly with reference to sun
rise and sunset illumination, and So on
through the whole list of contributors to
the perfection of operate ensemble.
The most important requirement of a
monster grand opera stage is larger

world like the toy theaters that delight
children at Christmas time but which in
this case have the practical advantage
that they give the scenic artists practical
foresight as to color schemes. detnil ar
engagements, etc.
Any woman would be interested could
she have a peep into the costume and
wardrobe department of a grand opera
house. Here are high-salaried French de-
sign tailors. filters. seamstresses and
oil the other functionarles of dresszpak-
ing establishment of the first magnitude.
Thousands of costumes are made every
year. some of them costing hundreds OF
dollars apiece and other thousands of cos
tunes are altered and repaired. Here, as
in the other departments of the workaday
world beyond the scenes thought and
study must supplement manual labor The
costume designers have to thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the costumes
worn in the various periods of the worlds
history involved in the operas which they
are mounting, and at the same time they
must keep in touch with the latest devel-
opments of current fashion in order to
present the newest thing In toilettes in
operas the scenes of which are laid in the
present day. Furth ermore the grand opera
costumers must know something of her
aldry; OF the costumes and insignia of
ancient and modern royalty and of the
Roman Church; of the significance of the
decorations worn by the nobility and of
the correct details of the uniforms OF the
military and naval officers Of all the
nations on the globe.
An up-to-date cleaning establishment IS
an important adjunct of the costume or
wardrobe department and the opera
house has its own expert shoemaker
who fashions not only the commonplace
footgear Of this prosaic age. but all the
novelties from silken boots to bejeweled
slippers that made dress picturesque In
former periods of the worlds history.
Yet another marvel of the industrial city
within the grand opera house is the
